ate from the constellation of Andromeda,
where the particles OF the lost comet OF
Biela are supposed to be, and the per-
formance will doubtless be accepted by
astronomers as the recurrence OF the
meteorlc shower that was experienced
on several occasions when the celebrated
Biela's comet was supposed to be about.

the Biela comet has gone to pieces, and
that its particles are travelling around
the sun in the orbit formerly occupied
by the comet. The displays of these
meteors, or shooting stars, are expected
to continue every night until after the
2Sth inst On that night it is expected
that they will reach their maximum.
Biela's comet had period of about 63
years, and since its disappearance, as
has been stated, these rhetoric showers
have been noted whenever the observa-

somewhat nearer the earth than the

This is the season of the year when people
take cold easily.
A cold is not the simple thing most people
imagine. 1t is a serious matter.
A cold is the forerunner of an enfeebled
condition which may result in a severe ill
ness, if not death.
Why do people take cold? Because the
system is weakened; because of loss Of
tone, of health.
Derangement of the stomach and bowels,
weakness of heart and lungs, dizziness and
similar troubles, - these conditions favor
taking cold, and pave the way for serious
ills.
, The way to avoid taking cold is to keep
well. If you are perfectly we'll it is simply
impossible . take cold or to contract conta-
gious diseases.
There is one safe way to avoid colds and
to preserve health, and that is, to take HID
DENIS MAGNETIC COMPOUND.
When you detect the first symptoms of q
cold, such as sneezing, dull pressure about
the brain, a feeling of weakness, of lassi-
tude, you will find this remedy the perfect
panacea.
1t quickly tones up the stomach and
bowels, regulates the action of the heart,
frees the lungs of poisonous deposits, clears
the brain, gently stimulates the nervous
system-in other words, restores the patient
to full and perfect health.
HIDDEN's MAGNETIC COMPOUND should
always be kept in the house. 1t is inyalu-
able at this season of the year.
All druggists sell it. Price, 81 per bottle.
The genuine is never sold for less. If you

Our Home Brewerv.

During the last few days the attempt
of the thermometer to climb upwards
has caused numerous hundreds of peo-
pie in the city to seek cooling and pleas
ant drinks. 1t is not every drink that
fills the bill on hot day, but if the
sales of Maier & Zobelein's beer are any
criterion, they deserve premium for
rendering perspiring humanity more
comfortable. Our home brewery has
dispensed liquid extract OF malt to
thirsty thousands in the last few daya,
and it may be said with truth that their
brew has established popularity
which is making great inroads
upon the demands for outside beers.
The firm seems to have made
bid for permanent popularity by se.

methods of making superior article.
The reputation of the Maier & Zobelein
beer is growing beyond Los Angeles,
and extending throughout all Southern
California and the territories. This has
been accomplished by attention to de-
tails, and it is beyond doubt that the
brewery will have a trade in short
time which will include large area of
territory beyond the already largo bust
ness secured.

rection taken by the tremors of a

take about the one last evening-it was
straight up and down. Buildings and
people and everything were lifted up
and dropped with lightning rapidity,
and that is all there was to it.
The usual scenes occurred about the
hotels, though as few people had gone
to bed the display of negligee costumes
was not as large as has been the case.
No damage was done, though it was
said the shock was severe enough to

LET US ALL HEAR MILLER.

Hon. Warner Miller is to be here to
speak to us about the Nicaraguan canal.
Let us all go aud hear what he has to
say. This enterprise is by far the most
important before the people of this
country at the present time. There Is
active opposition to the scheme in
quarters where the animua is patent to
the eyea q sensible men. There is also
opposition in quarters where one is at
loss to discover the motive. The least a
man of unbiased mind can do is to hear
both sides.
One thing is certain. Either the
company represented by Miller must do
this great work, or it must go undone
for this generation. This company has
franchise for the work which cannot
be forfeited for twenty years. What is
done after that period is a matter of gu
preme indifference to a vast number of
us, so far as our personal interests 60.
The company that hold this franchise
have spent some $6,00000 already on
the canal, and have money on hand to
60 on with the work for two years to
come. They do not seem at all anxious
about more funds, as they seem to think
all the money they may need will be
forthcoming. The question lie, shall
American or European capital do the
work and control the enterprise?
AS to transferring the franchise to our
government there are many difficulties.
The company who have it are not dis
poted to part with it. If the company
were so disposed, the Nicaraguan gov
ernment might object, and if that gov
ernment did not England might. Able
lawyers say the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
is in the way of undertaking such a
step.
As to the canal becoming monopoly
at all similar to the Pacific railroads, it
is sufficient to mark the wide diference
between the two enterprises. These
two railroads will not allow any road
excepting themselves to use their road.
bed and rails. The canal company do
not propose to own ships, and if they
did any other vessels might pass through
on terms of equality. That is what the
work is to be done for.
The effects of the canal on this coast
are beyond the power of language to ex-
press. Here is the only source of real
competition to bring the railroads to
taw. The eastern states and Western
Europe will be brought to our door.
Our wheat, wine and other products can
be laid down in London at half the cost
of the present mode of transportation,
and in New York at one-fourth the pres
ent cost. London will be open as a
market for our oranges and lemons on
terms of equality with Italy and other
ports Of the shores Of the Mediter-
ranean.
Go hear Miller talk about the canal.

The Presbyterians, in general conven-

Portland yesterday. For 10 these many
years the Presbyterians have been re.

THE fasteners whose visit to us was

our climate on the hottest May day
which has occurred during the past ten
years may not be so overwhelmed with
delight as had been hoped. But South

country favored with unusual weather
just now. The telegraph for days past
has brought reports Of unreasonable

valley, and last nights messages cap
