HE TOOK THE WRONG MEDICINE.

Robert Stewart, of Petaluma, recently had
queer experience. He writes:
"Carbuncles and boils afflicted my face and
neck for weeks Finally I procured bottle
Of one of the leading sarssparillss. To my
surprise It made matters worse. This made
me lose faith In sarsaparillss, but seeing q
statement that joys Vegetable ssrsspari1s
dried up boils and face eruptions instead of
forcing more out as the potash sarsaparillas
do, bought bottle. The effect was aston
ishing. Thecarbuncles and boils began to dry
up, and In two weeks my face was swell and
smooth as ever. Ny brother also took bottle
with the same benefit. ROBERT STEWART,
''Petaluma, Cal"
Explanatory Note-The mineral iodide Of
potash, which is the basisof nearly all other
sarsaparillas, attacks the blood direct, hence
forces impurities through the skin, creating
more boils and pimples. joys Vegetable Sar
saparilla acts oppositely. Its vegetable alter
atives stimulate the various secretive organs
and thus eliminate all impurities through the
natural channels, hence dries up pimples and
skin eruptions at once. The above tsstimon-
ial is @ case in point

JEWELL, Or, Aug. 5.
EDITOR Historian:
On Sunday the 4th inst, at about
ii o'clock A. NJ. the dwelling house
and other out buildings except the
barn of w. A. Foster was destroyed
by fire which originated in defective
flue. The fire commenced while the
folks were getting ready for Sunday
school, and had gained such headway
before it was discovered that it was
impossible to get it under control and
it burned SO quickly that only small
amount of household goods were
saved. There was no insurance and
the loss falls peculiarly heavy as it
represented the earnings of years of
hard labor, but w. A is not discour-
aged but is going right to work to re-
pair the loss He was left barefoot as
he had his shoes off at the time the
fire commenced and did not take
time to put them on.

Others who saw the alleged monster
said it was a whale. In one or two

claim were made. 1t is now found

THE SEALING POLICY.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-At the state
department an official said, that even if
Great Britain did make a demand for
the release of the Black Diamond,
seized by the Rush, it wouldn't be COM

eminent now has a policy with rela-
ton to this question. The law as
found on the statute books will be ex-
ecuted, and the chances are that there
will be as many seizures made as there
is occasion for. No very serious
trouble with Great Britain is antici-
pated, though it is thought she may
make demonstration for effect.

A wIERD EXECUTION.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 5.-Albert Bu-
low, a self-confessed murderer, a ia
talist who believed that his existence
ended when the rope on which he
dangled drew taut, friendless and ap-
parently without heart, was hanged
at an uncanny hour this morning. The
hardened man had said that he wanted
no sympathy and he got none. The
law was executed without any senti-
ment, in the deepest hour of night,
under the blue sky, and with lanterns
throwing a sickly light upon the
doomed mans pale face. He met
the accursed fate of a murderer,
hanged by the neck until he was
dead, and with almost his dying
breath he spurned the mercy of God,
which is usually invoked upon the
souls of such as he. The drop fell at
:48 A. NJ.
