ON A BENDER.
The Flood of Eighteen Years Ago To Be
Repeated.


Judging from an interview with Capt.
Crang, of the Telephone, the flood Of
1876 is likely to be repeated, and that,
too on a more extensive scale. The
water in Portland is now up to Second
street, below Morrison, and this morn
ing the Telephone will have to seek an
other dock at Salmon street. The mer-
chants on Front, First and Second
streets have been busy in the past few
days in moving the goods in the base
ments to higher vantage. The water at
Portland yesterday only lacked IA
inches of being up to the rise Of 1876,
and it is the opinion Of Capt. Crang
that it will go beyond that before the
rise ceases.
AT Waterford the water Is over the
docks, and at Eagle Cliff is even with
the same. Sauvler is all covered with
water and the stock on the island has
all been taken off. The ferry at Kalama
has to transfer passengers over the
Northern Pacific from Columbia City
to Kelso on the Cowlltz river, instead of
the usual transfer at Kalama. Gov
ernment Island is entirely under water,
and % farmer who resided there was
obliged to vacate last Sunday. His en-
tire crop is destroyed. The Columbia
resembles a vast lake, with the water
still rising with astonishing rapidity.
Old residents aver that they have never
witnessed such a rapid rise as is now
taking place. AT Hood river the water
rose feet in less than two days, and at
several places people have been COM
PEELED to abandon their homes and seek
safety on high grounds.
Indications all point to continued
rise for the next few days, and two feet
more of water is expected at Portland.
Later advices from the latter place are
to the effect that cellars clear back to
Sixth street are being filed with water,
while at the chamber Of commerce, the
Portland Savings bank and DeKum
buildings steam pumps are in constant
motion to keep the water from interfer-
ing with the electrical appliances and
holsting machinery.
That both the Columbia and the Will
lamette are on high old bender there
is no question of a doubt, and that
much damage will result therefrom goes
without saying. The rise at Portland is
due, of course. to the backwater from
the Columbia, and a further rise Of a
few feet will endanger the bridges at
that city.

LIFE Was A BURDEN
A Pain.Racked Sufferer Tells an
Interesting Story.
How He Was Tortured for Years
and Finally Cured by
Munyon's Remedy.

Charles Wark, of IA North Twenty
fourth street, Philadelphia. has been a
constant sufferer from rheumatism for
years. He was cured by the use of Mum
yon's Rheumatism Cure. This il his
story:
"I was afflicted with rheumatism in
the right shoulder and suffered the
most excruoiating agony. Sharp shoot
ing pains darted through 1t so intense
1 could not sleep nights. Even the
weight of the bedclothes was more than
| could bear: neither could | lie on the
right side or on my back. Life became
a perfect burden to me. / could not
raise my hand to my head, and when
attempted to put on my coat or any
article of dress, the torture was enough
10 drive me wild. Many remedies were
suggested and tried, but none did me
the slightest good, and began to de-
spair of ever being able to obtain re-
lief. Some time ago, however, / pro-
cured q bottle of Munyon's Rheuma-
tism Cure. 1t afforded me relief after
the first few doses, and by the time the
little 25-cent bottle was gone l was
entirely free from pain. / have had no
return of my old enemy, and l feel salts
fed am permanently cured. 1t seems
so wonderful l can hardly realize It,
and can only show my appreciation of
the merits of the cure by recommend
ing 1t to other sufferers
Munyon's Rheumatism Cure is guar
anteed to cure rheumatism In any part
of the body. Acute or muscular rheu-
matlsm cured In from one to five days.
1t never fails to cure sharp shooting
pains in the arms, legs, sides, back or
breast, or soreness in any part of the
body in from one to three hours. 1t is
guaranteed to promptly cure lameness,
stiff and swollen joints, stiff back, and
all pains In the hips and lolns. Chronic
rheumatism, sciatica. lumbago or pain
In the back are speedily cured.
Munyon's Homeopathic Home Rem
edy company, of Philadelphia, put up
specifics for nearly every disease, which
are sold by all druggists, mostly for 25
cents a bottle.

fled as to the name on the coffin plate,
and so did Mr.. Comstock, half nephew,
who was at the funeral.
Here the respondents case opened,
and James Egan was called to the
stand. He swore that he had known
Miss Howard, or Miss Walters, what
ever her name was. ever since she as
sumed control of the Prospect House.
He always believed that the doctor was
her husband, the impression being con-
veyed by statements made by Miss
Howard herself. Mrs. James Egan gave
similar testimony.
Known as the Doctors Wife.
Mrs. Rose Hackney always knew Miss
Howard as the doctors wife. Mary
Cross used to be domestic at the Pros
pect house, and she always called her
Mrs. Smith and the woman answered
to that name. Richard Williams was
hanger-on there and he always heard
her called Mrs. Smith. Frank Narconis
also testified in a similar vein. The
testimony of George Stanton was to
the effect that if anybody called Miss
AioNoiu pul Ni D. SiiS
would get deucedly angry.
John Weichel, the wholesale liquor
dealer, always knew her as lii Howard,
but a few years ago he took a trip to
the Thousand Islands and the doctor
and herself were there on vacation.
He happened to hear the doctor intro
duce her to several persons as his wife
and she accepted the introduction ac-
cordingly The last witness was c. r.
Smith, brother Of the Doctors About
four years ago, he said, he heard II
noised about that his brother, the doc
tor, was married to Miss Howard, and
he called to see him at the halfway
house on the Boulevard.
Oncehe brought his wife with him and
another time his daughter On each
occasion they were made to believe that
Miss Howard was the doctors wife, al
though she was commonly called by
her maiden name. That ended the tes-
timony for the day and the case was
adjourned until this afternoon at
o'clock

Caused by Suffocation.


Coroner Kelley held an adjourned in
quest yesterday as to the death of
Anthony Kullick, who was found dead
on Wednesday morning in shanty on
the culm dump Of Jermyn, No. 3, col
liery, Priceburg.

mortem examination and stated that
from the indications found he arrived
at the opinion that death was caused by
suffocation by the sulphur fumes aris-
ing from the culm dump which was on
fire. Evidence was given that deceased
was addicted to drink and left his home
the morning previous. No testimony
was offered as to his whereabouts be-
fore he went to the shanty. The jury

the coroner's report.
