TOOK THE WRONG saEDICINE.

Robert Stewart, OF Petaluma, recently had
queer experience. He writes;
"carbuneles and boils afflicted my face and
neck for weeks Finally procured bottle

surprise II made matters worse. This made
me lose faith In sarsapsriilas. but seeing a
statement that joys Vegetable sarsaparilla
dried up boils and face eruptions instead OF
foroing more out, as the potash sarsaparillas
do, bought bottle. The effect was astonish-

Diamond Robbery.


Thursday morning some one en-
tered the residence of :. w. Thomp-
son, the jeweler, who resides on
High street, and made away with n
fine diamond belonging to Mrs.
Thompson. Mr.. Thompson arose
about 4 o'clock that morning and
came to the city and Mrs. Thompson
thinks the robbery was committed
after he left. A small cushion was
hanging on the wall, and on the out
side of II was sticking the diamond
pin Of Mrs. Thompson, valued mt
$75, and on the inside of the cushion,
or the side next to the wall, was
also II diamond pm belonging to Mr..
Thompson. The thieves must have
been In u hurry as they failed to
take the one belonging to Mr..
Thompson. When Mrs. Thompson
arose in the morning she noticed the
pin lying on the stand with the dia-
mond missing. Examination re-
vealed the fact that the diamond
had been dexteriously pried from Its
setting. 1t is supposed that the
theft at Mr.. Thompson's and Mr.
Lafore's were committed by the
same person, as both robberies hap
pened about the same hour and are
adjoining residences.

An Unsoived Mystery.

There was one man In Salem to-
day that was happily surprised. w.
ii. Simpson, who resides about
three miles east of Salem, came to
the postoiiice to-day, and the deliv-
cry clerk with pleasant smile,
handed him small package to-
gether with his other mail. The
package and its contents Were not
locked for by Mr.. Simpson, so when
he opened It he was surprised, TO say
the least. What was In that pack
age, do you guess? Why It was his
testament lost by him on the LIST day
Of July, 1863, ut the battle Of Get
tysburg, twenty-six years ago. On
this day, the first day Of the battle,
the boys Were ordered TO throw of
their knapsacks, and from that day
TO this Mr.. Simpson has never seen
his testament. Who could have
found Il aud sent Il TO him Is the un
solved mystery, The testament has
been well cared for and Is In good
shape now, the hand writing Of Mr.,
Simpson Is plain 20 be seen on the
fly leaf OF the book, as is also the
hand writing ofa young lady on
the book. Mr., Simpson will now
cherish this little keepsake very
highly, and is puzzled To know who
20 thank for returning IL 10 him.

A had Night For Trousers.

Thursday night was a bad night
for the disappearance of trousers.
Senator Geo. Chandler Of Baker
City, had the misfortune to have his
pants gently carried away that night
and next morning was compelled to
send out in the city for some of his
Baker City friends to come to his
assistance before he could appear on
the streets. It is claimed he was
forced to sit I'm his room two full
hours, wrapped up in bed quilt,
awaiting his friends to arrive to
relieve him of his unpleasant situa-
ton. IL Is said that rather than
have the above become public the
senator offered to "set 'en up" If the
thing was kept on the quiet.
Senator Chandler was not the only
gentleman to be placed in this peri
lous situation. Samuel Stats, well
known in this city and Portland,
his home, was placed in quite an
embarrassing situation. His friends
Fish Commissioner Campbell and
Thompson were in the next room
and were soon on hand to relieve
him Of his "sufIerings." AS Stats
stands almost seven feet i'm his socks,
the question arose as to how In the
" orld to ever make "ThOmpson's
pants fit Stats" AT last the solu-
tion was solved by Thompson who
proposed, as he had two extra
pairs, to cut one pair off at the
knees and sew them on to the other
pair which in this manner would
make them right in length. l. Il.
Patterson hearing of his friends
trouble went at once to administer
to his wants and as the two extra
pair of pants owned by Thompson
were Of quite contrasting colors,
Patterson supplied the wants of his
friend Stats by loaning him IA pair
Of his pantaloons and thus relieved
him of his perdicament.

Tobacco Dots

IL isa fact that the town of Danville
beats Lynchburg IN the sale and manu-
facture of tobacco. and has been doing
so for some time. For instance, the
sale Of tobacco stamps for the first
month Of 1888. a. furnished us by the
Register, were as follows
January. 39G9l: February. $4,000;
March. S2s.793: April. S24.51O; May,
-9s. OBJ. In 1889 the sales for January
amounted to S53.4s7: February, S44.-
o3G: March. SHOP April, S4lOlG;
May. SJO.0l4. Total sales for the first
five months i'm 1888, Sl6O.ll5. Total
sales for the same time in 1889, S234,-
50i. am increase for 1889 Of S1j479. OF
"a gain Of nearly million pounds OF
manufactured tobacco actually sold IN
five months -LyachbTg 1cnncc.
Commenting upon the above, the
Danville Rcglster says. I'VE copy the
above i'm no spirit of bragad oclO. but IS
"a matter Of business. II the Lynch
burg tobacco business has declined il
is because the Lyuchburg manufactur-
eis have failed to get out of the rut. and
do business after the modern plan.
The Danville warehouses were
crowded with leaf tobacco Wednesday.
and double sales got buC little over half
around. Only five houses sold.
The offerings Of loose on wednesday
were small and were made up mostly
OF p00r and nOndescript sorts. and
which. when sold. went at very low
prices. On Tuesday about 80 hogs
heads we're offered at the exchange,
Q lly about bali Of which were sold.
Prices ranged at from about Sl.1O to ~
pcr hundred pounds. On Wednesday
about 80 hOgsheads were offered at the
exchange. but only about half were
sold FOR $3.50 to s.. The bulk Of that
offered at the exchange on both the
DAYS named was of nondescIipt quality.
Manufacturing the late heavy rains
and floods are well calculated to de-
crease the amount Of tobacco grown IN
Virginia this year, it has no beneficial
effect on the market-indeed, the mar
ket has ruled duller this week than 1t
was last week. aud some sorts are abso-
lutely lower.-Peiersbur9 Indsr Ap-

The breaks of leaf tobacco at Lynch
burg were heavy Wednesday and yes

old figures. At Booker's warehouse
