Just What He Was There For.

As funny a thing as ever occurred
in acourt happened at Napoleon, O.,
before Judge Potter and Jury. A
case was on trial, and an outsider
seated himself on one of the punch
cons at the far end of the panel of
jurors, there being no other available
seat. When the defendants counsel
arose to address the jury he scanned
the face of each closely, and naturally
his gaze was directed to the furthest
man from him, who didn't happen to
be a juror at all. Glaring at him, he
began:
Gentleman of the jury, 1 want to
know what this man (referring to the
plaintiff in the case) has come into
court for? What is his business? {?
What right has he here? What is he
seeking for? Again 1 repeat, gentle
men OF the jury, why is he here?"
The countryman imagined that the
question had direct reference to him
self, and when the lawyer paused to
give due weight and emphasis to the
question, he jumped to his feet and
howled:
"What am 1 here for, you cross
eyed cock Of the walk? What am 1
seeking for in this here court? I'll
tell you in short order, you weazen-
faced old sun of a gun. I've been
here three days awaitin' for my fees,
and nary red kin 1 git. Pay me my
witness fees, and III git ont of here
Immediately"
This unexpected Grafton brought
down the house, and the lawyer never
finished his able argument.-Cincin-
natl Enquirer.

If we know all the methods Of ap.
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and pospone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
of the body sufices to enable it to op-
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases a little
aid to the weakened Lungs will make
all the difference between sudden
death and many years of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms OF Cough,
Cold or any trouble of the Throat or
Luugs, give that old and wellknown
remedy-Boschee's German Syrup, a
carful trial. It will prove what
thousands say of it tc be, the "bene-
actor of any home"

A Ten Years Sentence.

Prof. Livingstone, recently convict
ed of an attempt to commit rape, was
brought into court yesterday morn
ing to receive sentence. He had a
chance to make a speech, and i'm
proved the occasion. He commented
freely upon the witnesses, the prose-
cutting attorney, the judge and the
jury. Talking of the latter he ex-
pressed his belief that one of the
jury was all brain and no heart,
another all heart and no brain. He
went on quite q while, and at last
stopped, being out Of breath. Judge
Taylor then started to make a few
remarks, when Livingstone interrupt
ed him, but the Judge promptly
stopped him. You've made your
speech" said he, snow let me make
mine" He then sentenced him to ten
years in the penitentiary. "All right,
judge, all right" said Livingstone,
sit is quite immaterial to me whether
it is ten years or ten minutes" He
asserted his innocence OF the crime
of which he had been convicted, and
at the conclusion of his remarks was
led back to his cell from which he
will shortly be taken for ten years
confinement at the Salem peniten-
tiary.

STATUS OF THE STRIKE.
The Situation Is in General Unchanged.

The Telephone arrived at foul
o'clock yesterday afternoon with l54
passengers and quantity of detained
mail. She left for Portland at eight
o'clock last evening, carrying a big
lot of people, and all the mail posted
to the moment of departure. She
will be down this afternoon, as usual,
but will have no mail, nor will she
take up any mail tonight.
Capt. SCOTS agreement is to bring
the mails down on Mondays, We'd
nesdays and Fridays. This he will do
but Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur-
days don't go. So that there will be
no mail till tomorrow afternoon when
the Telephone will bring down Fri
day mornings mail
With the o. r. & n. boats the stu
alton is unchanged. They are tied
up at the Ash street dock in Portland
and will stay tied up till the question
is settled.
Following is from yesterdays Ore
gontGn::
During the afternoon delegation
from the captains and engineers had a
conference with assistant manager Cook
ingham and superintendent johnson, of
the D. Il. d n. Co., but no agreement
could be arrived at.
Mr.. Cookingham wished the men to
return to their duties till he could make
some arrangement with his superiors
east, but they refused to go to work till
their demands were acceded to, and even
Increased them by advancing the wages
of second engineers from $50 to SIS per
month.
The officers and crews of all the boats
were accordingly paid off and last even
ing there was no one about the boats ex-
cept the pursers and watchmen.
The strikers feel confident that the
company will be Obliged to accede to
their terms as nearly every captain and
engineer on the rivers belongs to their
association. and it will be impossible to
secure new men, as they must take out Ii
censes and to do SO must be recommended
by at least three licensed captains or en-
gineers, whichever the case may require.
The strikers have no i'll feelings against
the officers of the company here, as they
know that the orders to reduce their pay
came from the east and if the officers
from whom it emanated had been fully ac-
quainted with the condition of things
here it would probably not have been is
sued.
The order reducing wages did not
reach the Snake river boats till yesterday
and nothing has been heard from them
nor from the bar tugs in regard to the
matter.
The whole thing comes from an ef-
fort to run things at long range.
The order for reduction came from
Omaha; it was a sort of snap judg-
ment; nobody was prepared for it;
the employees were not told that after
such date so and so would be the
case, but were notified of an instant
reduction. This doesn't go with in
telligent American citizens, and while
it is a matter of serious inconven-
fence to this city, the sympathy of
the majority Of Astorians is with the
employees in the stand they have tax
en-. If they hold firm the company
will have to accede to their terms.

On Washington's birthday Presi-
dent Cleveland by a stroke of his pen
added numerous shekels to the pock-
ct of his arch enemy, General Ben
Butler. The signing of the territory
billhas made it necessary for the
government to replace its 5000
national flags with new ones having
in four additional stars, and the
United States Bunting company at
Lowell, Mass, of which Butler is the
principal stock holder, enjoys the
monopoly of its manufacture in this
country, ,and is now hard at work
making the necessary material to
meet the enormous demand shortly
to be made upon it. The average
size flags used by the government
is thirty by fifteen, and forty by
twenty feet, varying in price from 1927
to $40, the average price being S35.
This alone insured the bunting cor.

Captain Boyton's dress has been
described thousands of times, but in
connection with this another descrip-
ton is admissible. The dress is man
ufactured from the finest vulcanized
rubber, divided into two parts, the
junction being at the waist. The
pantaloons terminate i1 a steel band
over which the tunic fits with a strap
over all; making a perfectly water
tight joint. On each thigh, on the
breast, on the back and at the back
OF the head, there are five internal
compartments, each having a sep
arate tube for the purpose of inhat-
ing from the mouth. When incased
in thisssuit the only part OF the body
exposed is the face. A double blade
paddle, which he uses at will, driving
himself feet foremost, and his little
iron boat, modelled after The hull of an
ironciad, named baby Nine" CON-
pletes his sea-going outfit. This boat
alone is a wonder. She is thirty
inches long, twelve inches wide with
a depth of hold of about ten inches,
completely decked over with the ex-
ception Of hatch which is protected
by water tight cover. In her hold
are stored signal rockets, thermom-
eter, barometer, chronometer, maps,
charts, revolver, shotgun, ammuni-
ton, hatchet, rubber cement and
patch cloth, bowie knife, small spirit
stove. note book, pen and ink,
cup, knife, fork, spoon, copper kettle,
frying pan, quInine, cigars, brandy
and ten days provisions. On her
deck are fastened headlight, compass
and watch, making this as complete
an outfit as a transatlantic gray
hound.

PROGRESS.

1t is very important in this age of vast
material progress that a remedy be pleas

one perfect laxative and most gentle di-
uretic known.

poration an order of nearly 100000,
and besides this there will be a large
public demand for new flags. This
demand under ordinary circum-
stances is over 1000 of the largest
size flags year. This year, due to
the novelty of the additional stars
the order will be larger. The United
States Bunting company is sure of
half a million dollars out of the
thing, and as Ben owns two-thirds of
the stock of the company, his profit
will be corresponding. The mill en-
ploys 700 hands, who from to day will
work night and day.
