Backward Eyes.

A Washington Bear-Hunt.

Early one morning in May black
boy. going to his work, was passing
along the Pierce's Mill road, near
Washington. Paying little attention
to what was before him, he suddenly
found himself confronted by large
grizzly bear. The boy did what al
most any one would have done under
the same circumstances; he turned
and ran as fast as his legs could carry
him. Luckily, the bear did not fol-
low, and he reached house and gave
an alarm.
The news soon spread that a grizzly
bear had escaped from the Geological
Garden. 1t would be hard to tell
how the news got abroad, because
every one was afraid to go out-of-
doors. People barricaded their doors
and windows, and kept their children
in the house. The schools in the
neighborhoOd were without pupils.
The superintendent of the ZOOlog-
zeal Garden heard, at any rate, that
his lost bear had been seen on the
Pierce's Mill road. and accompanied
by several well-armed volunteers, he
started in pursuit of the animal
They came upon him not far from
the place where the boy had seen
him. The bear regarded his pur-
suers indifferently. The superin-
tendent was led to hope that he might
be captured alive.
Lets surround him." said the
chief of the hunters.
They proceeded to form a ring
about the grizzly. This proceeding
Infatuated him at once, and he made
a ferocious attack upon one of the
hunters.
But before he could reach the man,
all the other hunters rushed braVely
to the assistance of their threatened
comrade; whereupon the grizzly, see
ing himself outnumbered, turned tail
with d growl, and ran to tree near
by.
Once more the crowd crept upon
the bear, and then the animal rushed
Valiantly at them all. This time
several men fired at once, and the
young bears brief period of liberty
was brought to an end.

But the song of the spectre continued.
The bowl of beef-tea followed. AS it
struck the ground the phantom
ceased its cry.
The men IN the chamber sank
Imply against the walls, with the
unearthly wall still ringing in their
ears and the fear unfaded from their
eyes. They waited again.
The little man felt his nerves vi
brate. Destruction was better than
another wait. He grasped a candle
and going to a window, held it over
his head and looked out.
"Ho!" he said
His companions craWled to the
window and peered out with him.

TWO GREAT REMEDIES.

The human citadel is open to attacks from
two sources and aside from accident, these
two are the avenues from which all Of the
maladies that affiict the race spring. The
first Of these are what is known as the excre
tory organs. These are the lungs, the kdneya
and the skin. These suffer from congestion
which takes the form of colds. Starting from
what is called a cold the maladies that result
wide spread and ranging from cough to
consumption. They attack all ages and all
stations. No one is free from these troubles.
There is, however, remedy that is a safe
guard. This is REID'S GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE. It contains no poison,
and will heal any form of lung trouble or any
malady that arises from a cold. The other
class Of disease arises from arrangement of the
digestive organs and result in constipation.
When the bowels do not act the stomach sooD
refuses to digest the food, and we are troubled
with indigestion, fever, and long train OF
troubles that embrace wide range Of mala-
dies. The LAXATIVE GUM DROPS will
correct any difficulty of this SORT They con-
tain nothing deleterious, but are safe and
pleasant. Get them Of any dealer.

Ulster Has a Catholic Najori.y.

We hear good deal about the Presby-
terians in Ulster, and were we only to lis
ten to them it would be supposed that they
constitute the majority of the in
habitants. As a matter of fact, accord
ing to the official return moved for in
1885 by Mr. Healy, there are SOL $50 Pres
byterians against 1852 Catholics. The
Episcopalians, who are quite thrown in
shade by these noisy, fussy. political Pres
byterians. exceed them in number. for
there are 3S26l6. Together they do not.
as will be perceived by the above figures
equal the Catholics in Protestant
Ulster" 4 fresh religious census is now
being published, but it is not vet
completed. Another piece of swagcer
needs exposure. We hear every dav
about the wealth OF Ulster, and We are
asked 20 believe that all are rich and
thriving there. Among the farmers in
Ulster there is little wealth. Its small
towns are rapidly dccaying. As is known.
public houses have to be closed earlier in
towns with q population under 5000 than
in those where this number is exceeded
In q considerable number of Ulster towns
the police have notified the publicans that
they must close at the earlier hour he
cause the population has sunk below : OOO

Runaway Accident Near Palouse City.

OAKEsDALE, June A. Especial Last
Saturday as party was driving up on
Steptoe butte, they stopped at spring
near its base to water their horses. The
driver removed the brides to al
low the horses to drink. Another
team coming up behind frightened
them so that they became unmanageable,
and started to run. One young lady had
time to jump out, but the Others were
thrown out and the hack was upset and
torn to pieces before the horses stopped
running. Mrs. Morris Smith and John
Frees were seriously hurt, and Mrs.
Smith has one arm broken and re-
ceived numerous bruises. Mr.. Frees
was thrown to the ground very heavily,
receiving severe cuts on the top of his
head and his ear was badly cut and torn.
The shock caused concussiou of the brain
and he was still unconscious yesterday.
The party was from Palouse City and they
are gong up on the Butte expecting to
stay all night and get view
of the Palouse country from its summit.
After the accident the injured persons
were taken to house near the spring and
were cared for in the best manner that
circumstances would allow. Mrs. Smith
was brought here yesterday, and will re-
main for q few days under the doctors care.
1t is the intention to take Mr.. Frees to
Palouse City today if he is able to be
moved. This is the first accident of any
kind that has happened at the Butte for
several wears

Ontario Crop Proapects.

TORONTO June 14-The Ontario govern
ment crop report says: The conditions
point to a first-class crop of fall wheat. An
extra good crop is expected should the
bright, warm weather continue. The
prospects for spring wheat are up TO the
average, but success of the crop depends
upon the warm weather. The condition
of barley is fair but backward, with the
prospect of very much decreased yield,
unless the weather soon becomes more
favorable. The acreage is still decreasing.
More than the average crop of oats is ex-
pected, should the weather be favorable
for the next few weeks. Indications over
almost the entire province are that there
will be an extra fine crop of peas. A
heavy yield of hay is assured.

FIRE AT BALTIMORE.
A Million Dollars Destroyed On
the Water Front.
SAILING VESSELS DAMAGED.
Much Whisky, Ice and Cotton Lost-One
Hundred Houses Destroyed at
Chicora, Pa.

BALTIMORE, June 14-One of the largest
fires that ever visited the water front of
Baltimore started at o'clock this after
noon on the old Bay Line wharf. The
loss, as near as can be estimated. is nearly
100000. The freight shed of the Bay
Line Company was fully stocked with cot
ton, whisky and general merchandise con-
signed to foreign firms. The fire is thought
to have originated in the cotton by spon-
taneous combustion. Quick as flash the
flames spread. Intense excitement reigned
along the water front. The Bay Line
wharf was totally destroyed. The wharf
had on it large warehouse, big laundry
and a newly erected office building.
Before the schooners Carmina and Mat
son could be towed from the wharf they
were badly damaged, as were the four
masted ice schooners Wesley Over, Mamie
Howard and William Writ The flames
were conquered, but not until considerable
damage was done. The rigging and cord
age OF the schooner Augustus Well were
burned away. the masts and hull charred
and the vessel left blackened wreck. The
estimated damage to the schooner is
$4,000; insured. The ice was valued at
81 a ton, and there were 1000 tons on
board.
Several barges laden with cotton were
moored to the Bay Line wharf and betorr
relief could reach them the cotton a..
barges were burned. Ali around the Bay
Line wharf were warehouses stored with
tons of the most inflammable material
and the firemen worked like beavers to
prevent the spread of the flames. The
heat at times was distressing and many
firemen were compelled to strip. Many
of them were exhausted by the
heat. During portion Of the time work
was impedei by streams of molten resin
that Hooded the streets and ran into the
water. On the wharf were 5000 bales of
cotton, worth $40 to $50 bale, and /, 900
barrels of whisky, worth $50 to $75 bar
rel. Other freight and wharf property
will bring this part of the loss up to nearly
81, 00G, 600, partially insured.

Ex-Confederate Colonel and Leader OF
the Farmers Alliance.

the Farmers Alliance.
WASHINGTON CITX, June 14.-Colonel f.
L. Stackhouse, member Of congress for the
Sixth district of South Carolina, and a
prominent member of the Farmers ALI
ance. died here early this morning. He
attended his duties in the House yester-
day, though not feeling quite we'll, but no
serious result was anticipated till mid
night, when Congressman Cate, of Arkan-
sas, who boards at the same house. was
called to his bedside with tho information
that he was dying. A physician was sum-
moned, but before he arrived Stackhouse
was dead.
GEli Thomas Stackhouse was born in Marion
county, South Carolina near Little Rock, where
his residence was at the time of his death, on
March q, 1874 His education was obtained in
country schools, which he attended few
months each year when not at work on his
fathers farm. From his nineteenth to his
twenty-third year he taught school, and in 1877
he settled on the farm he has lived on ever since.
In 1861 he responded to the state call for troops
ana served in Longstreet's corps, in the army OF
Northern Virginia, and was surrendered as
colonel OF his regiment. Before the reconstruct
ton era he was three times elected to represent
his county in the state legislature; since recon-
struction he has devoted his time and attention
to the improvement of his farm and education
OF his Children. While thus engaged he has
found time to write agricultural essays and to
contribute to the southern agricultural press,
and most of his life has been devoted to the
effort to elevate and improve Southern agricuI-
ture. His interest in this branch of industry
was the reason for his election and reelection
as president of the State Alliance during term
OF eligibility. He was member of all the Or
CARNATIONS in his state designed to benefit agri.
culture and trustee of the state Agricultural
college lie was eecIed to congress last fall

Oregon weather and Crops.

PORTLAND, June IA. The Oregon
weather bureau in the weekly crop bulle-
tin says: The outlook for the crops is not
of the best. The average is about the same
as last year with preponderance of spring
sown grain. Up to May 20 the prospects
were excellent, when a period of five days
Of hot weather seriously injured the grain.
especially in Umatilla, Morrow, Gillian,
Sherman and Wasco counties. 1t is esti-
mated that the wheat crop Of 1892 will not
be over four-fifths of what il was last year.
The fruit crop will be so per cent. short
owing to the cold rains of April. Indica-
tons are that hop lice will do more dam
age than last year. The berry and hay
crop will be unusually heavy.
The Willamette valley wheat prospects
are good. The rains east Of the Cascades
within ten days will greatly improve the
wheat prospects in that section.
