FIRES IN THE PINERIEs.

DULUTH, June 17.-Dispatches re-
ceived from Sandstone Junction,
Moose Lake, Hinckley, Barnum and
other places on the line of the East
ern Minnesota and st. Paul and Du-
luth roads indicate that a bad fire is
burning along the entire section. In
this section are hundreds of camps
and loggers' outfits. The flames are
burning with great fury, and unless
there are heavy and soaking rains
great damage will result. These
camps, a number of which have al
ready been burned, especially neal
Sandstone, contain stores and beds
cooking utensils, etc, as well as food
and grain.

Probably no one thing has caused such
a general revival of trade at j. w.
Conn's Drug Store as his giving away
to their customers of so many free trial
bottles of DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption. Their trade is simply
enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappoints. Coughs, Colds,
Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, and all
throat and lung diseases quickly cured.
You can test it before buying by getting
a trial bottle free, large size 81. Every

concessions to the United States. The

Mr.. Blaine's reply. The English and
German commissioners will afterwards
consider Blaine's objections and de-

they adopt depends the continuance

PoRTLAND's CITY ELECTION.
The city election is not very excit-
ing. Voting is progressing slowly.
The only extraordinary feature about
the polls is that almost the entire po-
lice force is stationed at the three
voting places, to keep order. The
members of the police force are greatly
interested in the election. In the first
ward Gerdes is being knitted, and in
the second ward an attempt is being
made to slaughter Schwab, who is not
q favorite with the police department
In the third ward it looks as if Wood
ward will have Q walk over. At the
present time 913 votes have been cast
in the first; ward, Gerdes is leading
In the second ward 674 votes have
been cast, Scoggins Dem is ahead
In the third ward 829 votes are SC
far cast, and Woodward is slightly
ahead.

The story comes from South Caro-
lima that the more ignorant of the
colored people down there believe
that the white men make castor oil
from the blood of negroes whom q
strange doctor, who can at will make
himself invisible, captures and bleeds.
1t is said that for this reason these
people would rather die than take a
dose of castor oil. We do not see
why the colored people should be per
mitted to monopolize all the comfort
ing beliefs of the world. There are
intelligent white men all over this
country who, when dose of castor
oil is put under their noses, would
give half they are worth for good
reasonable belief of this sort
