DANGEROUS PURGATIvEs.
A City Policonan's Experience.

A City Policcran's Experience.
Mineral pills and drastic purgatives so irritate
he mucous coatings of the stomach and bowels,
hat they often leave the system III worse con-
iition than before In fact their cathartic ac-
ton is due to their irritation. The danger at
tending their steady use is apparent. The new
laxative principle in Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla
gets its cathartic action by increasing the mu-
cous secrctions and gently stimulating the stom-
ach. 1t is purely vegetable, does not lose its
effect, Is effective aud absolutely safe to be taken
occasionally or continuously by the most delicate
persons -
- Gus Videau, the well known
~ police officer OF No. 1896 Howard
NG&;N St., San Francisco, writes: "Af-
sops< v ter my own experience firmly
Z peSTsifA believe that Joys Vegetable
AN Sarsaparilla will cure the most
~ obstinate cases of constipation.
Although cured / am still ta-
king it, and mover had my system 80 thoroughly
regulated. By increasing or diminishing the
dose one has absolute command over himself
with this valuable remedy" "---

The Gaming ClrcUS,

The Farini- McMahon show, which will
be here at The Dalles on Monday, Sept.
| 23d, is highly endorsed by the press every
| where it has spread its tents. The Denver
NeUs, July Is, says:
The Farini- McMahon circus opened their
tent doors yesterday afternoon and evening
at Twenty third and Welton streets to a
vast concourse of people. The evening per-
formance was especially well attended, the
audience being, quite fashionable one.
This ideal equestriolympian is among the
few legitimate sawdust entertainments and
is well worthy of patronage. The ring pro-
gramme is most interesting and varied.
The excellent circus entertainments are
from necessity compelled to give certain
character of entertainment, and their stand
ard must be measured by the individual
ability of the performers. By this standard
the show is way above the average. The
riding is excellent, and the daring horsemen
elected hearty applause. The acrobltic
feats smacked of foreign training impossi-
BILE for home talent to duplicate. The slack
wire artistic is the best that has yet visited
Denver, and her marvellous performance
last evening won her hearty applause. The
programme was quite a lengthy one and
when completed the big crowd dispersed
more than satisfied with their three hours
of entertainment.
The company is combination of Farini's
Grand Australian and McMahon's Great
Worlds, and the excellent features of both
have been retained. Even the clowns are
of new makeup and new jokes and the an
tics of some are truly Iaughable.

THE DEATH OF GORDON.
BERLIN. Sept. 12--Dr. Frlcl,c, who
accompanied General Gordon to Khar-

death, says that Gordon had Unlimited
confidence in himself, aud must have
misied the British as to his critical sltua-
ton. "Gordon's character" says Dl.
Fricke, twas asObstinate as it was noble.
His blindness to danger and his deafness
TO warnings of his friends caused his
death. If he had listened to advice, he
might have escaped two days before the
fall of Khartoum with all the Europeans
of the place. He was speared by his
own soldiers when lie came to Inspect
them"

about 3 o'clock a l6-year-old daughter of
Mrs. Piberin was seriously burned at Mr..

the family were picking hops. She had
just built fire and in some manner her
dress caught fire. As soon as she discoy-
cred it she became frightened and ran to
where the rest of the family were, a
distance of about 100 yards. By the time
nearly burned off. The flames were then
smothered but the girl had already been
severely burned. Doctors Prentice and

BgAxsFoRD, Tenn, June 30.-Some very
sensational developments have come to light
in regard to Hiram Crabtree, one of the in
iured passengers in the wreck on the Chesa-
peake and Nashville Railroad, near this
place, last Wednesday. Hiram CrabiTee
lives with his wife and three children near
Lafayette, Tenn. Hiram life has been some
what wayward for the last three years. One
Mrs. Claiborne resided near Hiram's abode
with her three children, of doubtful parent
age. Mrs. Claiborne was married several
years ago TO John Claiborne, who left her
shortly after their marriage. Mrs. Clai-
borne succeeded several months ago in win
ming Hiram's affections, since which time
Hiram has spent much of his time and mon
ey in this woman's company.
4 few days ago Hiram converted yoke OF
oxen, Z COW and the hogs he p, ,ssessed into
cash and left home, ostensibly to go to Gibbs
Cross road, in Macon County. within some
ten miles of his home. His good old wife
vigorously protested against the sale Of the
stock and his excursion TO the cross roads.
With the proceeds of the sale Hiram made
arrangements to convey Mrs. Claiborne and
her three children to Hopkinsville, where
the party took the train which was wrecked.
Hiram and his psramour were considerably
bruised up in the wreck.
The wife of the runaway husband walked
IS miles 10 the scene OF the wreck, where
she is watching over him with the tenderest
care. He says this is his last excursion. The
woman was taken to Trousdale county by
her father, who had abandoned her several
years ago.

TuE CENSUS.
Pennsylvania Is Divided Into Ten
Districts For Enumeration.


The Census Eureau has completed The IL
vision Of the state inio neH C'slsus districts.
The districts Of Pennsylvania are altered
very materially from what they were in
1850, the effort having been to associate
counties having similar interests. The pop
ulation Of the new districts, according to the
Census Of 1880. was as follows
First. Philadelphia county, s57,i7o; Sec
on,I. Delaware. Chester, lancaster, and York,
s8s SIC; Third. Montgomery. Berks, Lehish,
Northampton and Bucks. 42402s; Fourth,

Each ofthe ten census districts has super
intendent who receives at least Sl25 COM
pensation, and in addition gets 81 for each
GOO names enumerated, and no division
superintendent is to receive less than $500.
The superintendent OF the Philadelphia dis
trict will receive something like 5000.
In 1880 Pennsylvania had 2.773 enumera-
tors, while New York, with a much larger
population, had only 2,Ss7. The State will
probably be devided into 5000 enumeration
districts for the eleventh census.

Lost His Cellar Bottom.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, June 25-As Conrad
Shafer, plasterer, was eating his breakfast.
at his home on Miner street, in Plains, this
morning he suddenly heard great clatter
Of dishes and glassware, accompanied by a
heavy rumbling that shook his frame resi-
kence from top to bottom. He hastened to
the cellar, and there he discovered that over
half of the bottom had fallen out, taking
with il the stone foundation and the garden
plot in front of his house. together with all
his household supplies. The cavity was
found to be chamber of the Henry Colliery
operated by the Lehigh Valley Coal Com
pany, which had been worked out. When
the father and son had reached the bottom
of the cavethey began throwing stones down
the chamber which was about sixty degrees
pitch. The missiles rumbled away and
could be heard running far down into the
mine. Shafer, who is apparently not tim
id man, says he will continue to reside in
the house, and will seek redress from the
I.ehigh Valley Coal Company for loss sus-
tanned.

Can't Fool with Niagara.


NIAGARA FAILS, June 30 1t took less than
half an hour this morning to fully demon
str,e that Grahams +" life barrel % as such is
hardly a success. Ever since Grahams trip
through the whirlpool rapids, he has been
telling of iie-boat that he would construct
and hich would carry him safely over the
falls. His friends, finding that they could
not prevail upon him to give up the trip
persuaded him TO try the experiment ol
sending the barrel alone. This morning
they set the boat adrift. As it passed out Of
sight over the falls opposite the Sister Is
lands, it was seen 10 spin around like top
Graham had gone to the waters edge to pick
up the barrel when it came over the falls
The first intimation they had of its arrival
was several broken slaves floating past, one
of which bore the name Of the craft-WOrld.
Several pieces were secured the largest be-
ing three slaves. The other pieces floated
down the river. A comparison of time
shows that in less than 80 minutes after the
barrel was cut loose from the boat the pieces
were picked up below the falls.
When Graham was asked his opinion
about it. he said be had none that the craft
was the strongest ever built to go over t {
falls, and that it did not draw over ten
inches of water; strength would seem to
have little to do with it, as an empty SOAP
box went over and came out all right a few
minutes before. When asked his next move
he replied Il" am going TO build another
and will build one that will carry me safe
Iy over the falls" He is very much disap
pointed, but does not seem dishearteneC
over the failure.

Abducted Her own Child.

CHICAGO. June 27.-The Hayes public
school was the scene of a sensational case of
kidnapping yesterday afternoon. Hattie.
the twelve-year-old daughter of John and
Celia Thatcher. was stolen by her own moth
er. The Thatchers were married in Chicago
thirteen years ago. Three years after the
marriage Mr. Thatcher gained a suit for d.
vorce and the count awarded him the custo-
dy of the child Hattie, then two years Of
age. Mr. Thatcher gave the little girl into
her grandmothers care.
At the close Of the public school term, one
year ago, Mrs. Thatcher, who had made
many efforts to obtain possession of the
child, endeavored to abdlct her from the
school yard. The attempt was unsuscess-
ful, as the child was afraid of her mother
and refused to go with her.
Yesterday afternoon. shortly before school
closed, q carriage closely curtained was driv-
en- up to the Hayes school and woman
alghted She entered the school building
and went directly to room :. The teacher
responded to her knock and the woman said
she was Mrs Thatcher and asked to see her
daughter Hattie, but the girl refused to go
to the door, Mrs Thatcher then apparently
went away About five minutes later the
door opened and Mrs. Thatcher dashed into
the room. She seized the little girl around
the waist and started for the door. Miss
Harmon intercepted her at the door and
made determined resistance. Mrs. Thatch-
er was much larger and more powerful than
the teacher and succeeded in getting the
door partially open. Then Miss Harmon
called for the pupils to assist her aud they
came in a body.
Just at this moment man wearing a very
heavy moustacbe entered the room and
throwing Miss Harmon and the children to
one side took the struggling child from its
mothers arms and rushed down the stair
way, followed by the mother. The man
choked the child so she could not scream.
The cabman stood with the door of the We
hicle open and they entered hurriedly. Then
Mrs. Thatcher applied a handkerchief TO
the little girls face and she lay perfectly
quiet, and the cabman turned about and
drove rapidly away.
The police were notified and are at work
on thecase. The childs father and grand
mother are much distressed
