A Bows Fatal Curiosity.

UNION, Or, July ga fatal accident
accurred at the Oregon rolling mills in
this city at 10 O'Clock this morning, in
which Linn Phillips, an g. year-old boy
lost his life. The boy was going through
the lnill alone, having no particular
business there except a desire TO be
around the machinery. The head miller
was on the third floor at the time, when
he heard Two falls. and knowing that
something was wrong hurr!edly made an
Investigation. Descending to the third
floor, the lifeless form of the boy was
found lying ON the floor, bis skull
crushed in and otherwise fearfully man
gled. He was alone when the accident
happened, and it is supposed his CLOTH
ing became entungled in the rapidly
moving machinery of one of the rollers,
throwing him into the machinery and
then hurlng him TO the floor with fatal
results. He had been warned to keep
away from the machinery, but bis insat-
late curiosity turned him to his death.

To be Prepared for Actton.

ST JOINS, N F.. July 2s-Rumors
here are to the effect that the British
warships on this coast are instructed TO
be prepared, in case of possible ont.
break OF hosti,ties between England and
France, owing to the Siamese trouble.
The condit1ons are peculiar on this isl
and. The vexed French shore question
is the cause of continual irritation, and
the recent action OF the French admiral
in insulting General O'Brien and leaving
here abruptly is not calculated to inn
prove the friendly feelings. At the pres-
ent moment two French and two Eng.
lish cruisers are on the French shore, and
third English ship is guarding the
port. Numerous cipher kilograms are
passing between the British vessels The
officers are non communicative, but ad-
nit that they are deeply interested In the
course of events.

Prune Outlook.

One of the prominent commission mer-
chants of Portland, in writing to a gentle
man in this city regarding the outlook for
Oregon prunes, says the Eugene Register,
states that the wholesale price this year for
Italian prunes will probably be about
twelve cents, but may go above that
French prunes will be about ten cents. In
speaking Of the outlook in years to come, he
states that it is his firm belief that the price
of Italian prunes in the next five years will
not 60 below six cents, and he predicts the
price will range from eight to ten cents.
French prunes he thinks will be cheaper,
and will probably be as low as three cents.
According to this there will be big money
in prunes the next few years, and the prune
orchards of Lane county will yield hand
some revenue.

BARRIERS, clippers Spread Disease.

When the young men of Paris ar
rondissement went last week to draw
lots for military service, the authorities
were aghast at the number Of lads who
presented themselves, each one baldef
than the other. An inquiry was opened,
and the men were questioned as to how
this state of things came about. It was
found that they frequented the same
BARRIERS shop, and that this wonderful
fall of hair was due to their hair having
been dressed by barber who did not
keep his scissors and brushes sufficiently
clean.
