whereas every schoolboy in Washing

selves who furnish the correspondents

NEARLY all the petroleum deposits Of
southern California are situated in Los
Angeles and Ventura counties, and they
occupy an area of two hundred and City
thousand acres. This important prod

When you're languid and dull in the
spring of the year,
When stomach and liver are all out of
gear,
When you're stupid at morn and
feverish at night,
And nothing gives relish and nothing
goes right,
Don't try any nostrum, elixir or--pill-
the bill.
The surest and best of all remedies for
all disorders of the liver, stomach and
blood, is DR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.

who tries to establish ownership of one

New York court over a dog. The judge

and takes nice photograph. AS times

abroad she sat down and wrote a letter

medicines. The firm at one wrote to
her for her photograph, which she sent,
and in three weeks after her picture ap-
peared in the western papers she had
two albums full of photographs from
admirers and twenty-seven offers Of
marriage. 1t pays to advertise.

Last week che Express published a
statement made by the chief engineer of

that Jim Hill's line would. be butt to

Lively Debate in Honolulu.

HoNeLULu, July pa mass meeting
of Hawaiians, held at the Queens ar
mory, July 49, was addressed by eR. w.
Wilcox, on the subject of the cession
of Pearl harbor to the United States.
Wilson took the ground that to cede
Pearl city to America would establish
Hawaiian independence, and he labored
to remove the apprehension of evil which
he said the native Hawaiian feared
might follow this cession of territory
The discussion became general and. Hon.
Joseph Nawthi said he was not in favor
of Wilcox's remarks. The principal in
the liberal party, he said, was autonomy
and the independence of the Hawaiian
kingdom. He disapproved of the reso-
luton, and said he advised all constitu-
encies to demand of their representatives
the calling of mass meetings where this
matter could be fully discussed. Strong
resolutions of want of confidence in
Marshal Wilson, the queens adviser,
were entertained in the assembly.

The Epidemic in Europe.


ST. PETERSBURG, July 2S.-The cholera
is soon expected here if warm weather
continues. The death rate along the
Yolga is really greater than was sup
posed, and trade ia at a standstill. A
Vienna dispatch says the preventive
measures ordered enforced in Western
Russia have not been executed owing to
the prevailing panic, although the
cholera has appeared at Ekaterine, Stay,
Odessa and other places. Arrangements
for the great, military maneuvers near
Charokoff have been Cancelled. Large
quantities of disenfectants have arrived
at Constantinople for the Caucasus, but
cannot proceed, owing to the fact that
no ship can be chartered for Russian
ports. All the ports on the Sea of Azoy
| are affected from cholera. 1t is expect
ed the disease will soon appear in west
ern Crimea.

HISTORICAL Structure.

Oregon territory, in this city, is being
repaired this week by the owner. 1t
was built in 1850 by John L. Morrison
who now resides. on Puget sodnd, after
whom Morrison street, Portland, was
named. The territorial legislature held
it's sessions there before the capital was
changed to Salem. Subsequently it was
used for Good Templars hall, and Y.
NJ. G. A. rooms. It was once used for a
private school. The Enterprise first saw
the light in the building. For the past
fifteen years or so it has been used as
the Oriental hotel.

them to this place and cold them to a

a hemarkaDle Curio1ity.

Walla Walla Statesman. The propri-
etor of the Statesman has in his posses
sion a remarkable curiosity. It is
rounded crystal of chalcedony three in
ches long of ain oval form, white and
translucent. 1t is but thin shell, and
when held to the light it seems to be
nearly filled with water, which flows
about as the object is turned this way
and that. What makes it interesting is-
that the water has undoubtedly been
inclosed and hermetically sealed in this
natural receptacle for thousands and
thousands of years. Probably it was
there long before Moses was born, and
yet not drop of it has evaporated.
Originally there was cavity in the

Water percolated into it, bringing in
solution slick, which was deposited on
the walls of a little hollow in a coating

turies the stony mass containing the
chalcedony chamber with its liquid con-
tents was broken open and it fell out,
being loose.
