Is IT LEPROSY ?-Wm. NJ. Norris,
a negro convict in the Oregon peni-
Tertiary, has a disease which APP
proaches in appearance the dreaded
disease, leprosy. Mr.. Downing and
DIR. Jeffreys do not believe it to be
that complaint, but lest it may be,
are taking every precaution. Morris
was moved out of the prison today
to a hut fitted up for him in the
southeast corner of the lot enclosed
by the wall. A stove has been put
in to make it comfortable. The DR..
and Mr.. Downing think it is only
an advanced stage of a yenereal
disease of the worst type. Morris
was sentenced from Wasco county
on the 22d of November, 1887, for {
five years. term for larceny. He il
a man about 81 years old, and wa'
born in Virginia. Mr.. Downing
says he has visited hospitals and seer
many sick men, bat this is the wors
case that has ever come under hi
observation. The poor fellow has los
about all sensability, and looks to b.
a mass of purified flesh Of very
rank order. The opinion Of Mr.
Downing and Dr.. Jefreys is prob
ably correct. The fellow neglected
to treat himself properly since h,
has been a conyict until the disease
has got its deadly hold.

ALMOST A FIRE.-Sunday fore
noon the Chinese shanty on State
street, which has called out the fire
department so many times in the
last two or three years, was discov-
cred to be burning near the same
old detective flue. Henry Price,
driver of the Capital engine team,
was one of the first to discover The
fire. The Cinnamon urged that the
alarm be given, but Mr.. Price told
them to put it out with the garden
hose and buckets. He also told
them that he was not going to use
up all his horses to put out a fire for
them every few weeks. AT the same
time he told some of the fire boys
to be ready with the hose cart should
it be needed. The heathens think
ing be meant what he said worked
like heroes and put out the fire
before it did any damage more than
to burn hole in the roof of their
dirty shanty.

The porpoises killed in winter are the
latest and produce most oil. The largest
size measure about seven feet in length,
five feet in girth and weigh about 300
pounds. Such a porpoise yields from six
to seven gallons of oil. The blubber of a
big porpoise weighs about 100 pounds
and is one and n half inches thick in
summer and two in winter.
The jaws of the porpoise yield a SUI
perior quality of oil. When hung up in
the sun it readily drips away into cans
provided for die purpose, the quantity of
oil thus procured, however, being not
more than half a pint to the jaw. The
oil from the blubber gives an excellent
light and is in demand along the coast
for lighthouse use. 1t has no offensive
odor.
Porpoise shooting is followed at all
seasons and in all kinds of weather. On
n calm summers day the porpoise may
be heard blowing a mile or two away.
II you wound n ~porpoise, and there are
any sharks around, the shark is very apt
to share your booty with you even if he
doesn't devour it in toto.-New York
Recorder.

And ease quick follow on haunting pain

Not every one will understand what is
meant by the locating of the site of the
Temple of the Revolution at Newburg
on the Hudson. When the American
army was cautioned near Newburg in
1888 there was deep discomfort among
both officers and men because they could
not get their pay. On March II, 1888,
a circular was secretly distributed in or
der TO bring about a somewhat seditious
meeting at what was called a temple, a
little log building newly erected there.
General Gates was thought to be at the
bottom of the movement, by which it
was intended that the army should
arouse the fears of congress and the peo-
pie aud thus get better treatment, The
meeting was fully attended, and Wash
ington made an address so patriotic and
firm in behalf of patience and loyalty
that the result was a series of resolutions
promising all hat Washington had
counseled.-New York Sun.

A novel machine called a whiphoisting
drum has been invented in Rhode Island
for unloading lumber and other freight
from vessels, and is found to be a great
improvement on ordinary methods in
the saving Of time and labor. The ma
chine has three drums which operate two
derricks and a central line which run to
the hold of the vessel; the power is fur
nished by an electric motor of ten horse
power, the capacity of the motor being
500 volts and making 1000 revolutions
to the minute.
A belt connects the motor with the
shaft which operates the drums, the
power being transferred to the drums by
what is called a paper friction; each
drum is operated by a lever, and can be
stopped in an instant. The motor is a
self oiling machine, a drop of oil falling
on the bearings every thirty seconds.
When the lumber is drawn from the
vessel, u large hook from the wharf der
rick is attached, and the sticks are trans
ferred in the most ready n to any
part of the yard.-New York Sun.

A travelling correspondent of the Omaha
World Herald, who is writing up the
Western cattle business, In the course of
a long letter to his paper, SAYS:
AT the present time Wyoming is cursed
with a well organized band of cattle and
horse thieves which is growing rich from
the fruits of its stolen gains. Ia certain
parts of the state the thieving is carried
on to on alarming extent. II is the general
opinion OF Western men that the practice
could be stopped if the officers of the law
would do their duty. An old stockman
at Laramie remarked to the World Herald
representative that unless the various
prosecuting attorneys and courts get down
to business and do their whole duty the
state will soon be almost bankrupted. His
loss has been considerable.

LEADER PREMIUMS.
A Variety of Handsome Presents to
be Given to Subscribers This
Month.
Read the List Over Carefully and
Make Your Choice Before it
is Too Late.

We desire to close out all OF our pre-
miums this month, and in order to do SO
offer them as per terms given below.
There are nearly 400 premiums, repre-
senting a cash value of about $500. All
Of these premiums are to be given to
subscribers absolutely free. No sub
scriber. however, will be entitled to a
premium except by paying his or her sub.
scription in advance the length of time
specified In the table below. The only
have taken the trouble to save the pre-
MUM coupons" We make the exception
only because we advertised to give some
of the premiums for coupons, and we do
as we agree. Twenty-Five coupons from
The DAILY LEADER or ten from the
WEEKLY will secure anv premium that
laying one dollar in advance will secure.
If you have no coupons then you must
pay the specified time in advance. These
are our terms and it will be useless to ask
for any others.
As the number OF premiums is a little
less than 400 and the circulation OF The
DAILY and WEEKLY LEADER combined
amount to over 400 it will be seer that
there are not enough premiums for all
subscribers. IN giving them out we shall
follow the rule OF first come first served.
New subscribers as well as old may take
advantage of the opportunity to secure a
handsome book or picture free. Club
~raisers who are working tor the prizes to
be awarded Aug. ! should remember this
and when sending orders state which one
of the premiums is wanted by the sub
scriber. All of these premiums have
been described in previous issues of THE
LEADER md although a page could be
filed with descriptions and testimonials, it
will only be stated that the cash value OF
each is as shown in the table. Anyone
desiring the novels may choose any TWEEN
ty-five from a list oil $50 whichwill be fur
nished on application. Samples of all the
premiums may be seen at this Office. Sub
scrIbers who have had one or more of the
premiums will not be entitled to the same
premium again. but are entitled to any or
all the other premiums by paying the
proper amount. Following is the list with
terms:

Mhat They nre Good For.

Brandreth's Pills are the best medicine
known.
First-They are purely medical, in fact
a medlcated TODD.
Second-The same dose always pro.
duccs the same effect-o other purgatiyes
require increased doses and finally cease
acting.
Third-They purify the blood.
Fourth-They ~invigorate the system
and cleanse the stomach anu bowels.
Fitth-They stimulate the liver and
carry off yitiated bile and other depraved
secretions.
The first two or three doses tell the
story. The skin becomes clear, the ey,
bright, the mind active, digestion is re
stored, costiveness cured, the animal vigoI
Is recruited and all decay arrested.
Brsndreth's Pills are sold in every drui
and medicine store, either plain or suga
coated.
