MORBID CURIOSITY. Ut was disgusting, to say the least of il, to witness the morbid curiosity evinced by many yesterday who had gathered around the county jail walls to see and hear what was possible of the Byars hanging. There were some so eager to witness the carrying out of the sentence of the law that they, despite the biting cold wind, actually climbed the telegraph and telephone poles on the several corners at the intersection of FoGrth avenue and Twenty first street.
 A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT.-T was much indig gnation, to say nothing of the great disapI intment, manifest ed by the many ladies who on yesterday afternoon braved the biting cold and wintry wind to attend the much advertised matinee by Robert Mantell and his company of play CTS. It was two sided picture witnessed by an AGE HERALD reporter in the lobby of the opera house,as the many ladies rushed up to the box office window to secure their tickets, so as to get choice seats for tue anticipated performance. First an exclamation of surprise and disappoint- ment, aud then an indignant toss of the head and stamp of the pretty foot. The only reason for the cancelling of the mati. nee date was Mir. Mantell's statement that he was too unwell to give two performances in one day. If this be true Mir. Mantell's manager should have wired ahead and given the opera house management time to so announce through tbe columns of the morning paper and saved the ladies the bit- ter disappointment, made doubly so by the hitter cold weather. Was it another case of Smart Robson?

As the Seattle train OF the Northern
Pacific was on its way to this city,
Monday morning, near Maxheld, the
engineer saw two calves on the track
which Immediately obeyed the sound
of the whistle for right OF way, but
COW took up her position on the track
and seemed determined to hold it.
She was finally thrown under the
wheels OF the engine pitching it down
an embankment. When the engine
fell it became disconnected from the
train, consisting of coach and bag
gage-car, and fell into the soft earth OF
the embankment. Engineer Shepard
stuck manfully to his post, and was
rescued from the wreck in a mangled
condition and unconscious from his
bruises. The fireman jumped as the
engine left the track and escaped un-
hurt. The passenger coach likewise
left the track but did not fall down
the embankment. and none OF the
passengers, uire IN number, were in
jured.
A message from Maxfeld was sen,
to this city and Tacoma. The freight
train was at the depot here and the
engine and caboose were uncoupled
and left with DIR. Armstrong, the com
pany's surgeon, for the scene OF the
wreck and a wrecking car started out
from Tacoma in charge OF the Division
Superintendent. The relief from this
city returned with the mails and pas
sengers, and the wounded engineer
was sent to his home at Tacoma.
DR.. Armstrong reports the injuries
OF Engineer Shepard as severe ant
painful but not dangerous.

Headaches can generally be cured
by rubbing the hands lightly across
the forehead. The reason of this
Friction produces electricity, and lack
of electricity in the brain is the cause
of nervous headaches. Therefore when
we produce electricity in this manner
we give the brain the food it is hungry
for, and the pain is cured. The body

The State Weather Bureau fur
nishes the STANDARD with the follow
ing report for the week ending Sep
tember I'd:
The past week has been similar to
the preceding one in respect to weather.
1t was dry, smoky, and dusty until the
last two days, which we're cloudy and
cooler, with light, scattering showers.
Not enough rain fell, however, to be OF
benefit to the crops, the amount OF
precipitation being insufficient, in
most instances, to lay the dust.
During the greater part OF the week
the days were warm, and the 9th and
18th were even hot and oppressive ;
the last two days of the week were
cloudy and cool. 1t was favorable for
harvesting and threshing, but not
growing weather for vegetables. Po-
tatoes are not thriving this season, In
consequence of the extreme drOuth.
The smoky atmosphere has hindered
the maturing of hops, and seems to
have increased the propagation of lice
Picking will generally begin about the
9th; in a few early fields it has begun
already.
Late vegetables and the pastures
need rain very badly. The season has
been favorable for the prune crop in
Clarke county.

and smoky, hut favorable for harvest
ing and threshing. In the southern
counties, where the showers that oc
CURED at the end of the week wer'
