How the Body Fell.

Some one i'm the crowd had opened
his watch as the ascension was begun,
and he mechanically timed the passing
minutes. Just four minutes had passed
when the woman released her hold on
the trapeze bar and fell. For several
hundred feet her body went feet first
downward. as straight as an arrow.
Then she turned and revolved i'm SOM

striking in the top of big elm tree.

spot The upper branches OF the elm
had been seen to bend down and then
sway back as the woman's body
crashed through them. When Goldle

foot of the tree. In falling her back
had struck heavily and broken one
branch of the tree and her head an
other. Her body was frightfully
crushed and broken. Her remains
were taken in charge 10y the fair asso-

Week In Wall street.

Changes in stock market values for
the last week have. on the whole, been
unimportant. The speculation has been
OF the most strictly professional kind.
Commission houses have done. TO all
appearances. virtually nothing. but the
larger operators waited. though at the
end OF the week there was an appear
ance OF covering. which could only
mean that the big bears did not like
the situation and that some. at least
among the more prominent class OF
spectators. were inclined to take the
bull side Of the market for turn. A
little alternate selling and buying from
that quarter summarizes its operations
in our market. The whole speculative
situation. in fact. hinged on the action

the u. S. S. Adams in Naval Row short
ly before noon yesterday, twelve days
from San Francisco, which port she
left on June 10Th.
AS the Zaragoza came to anchor she
made an attempt at firing the usual sa-
lutte. The first gun went off all right,
the second was not forthcoming for
some time after, and the third and
fourth came in a rather languid man
ner. After that there was a depressing
silence and no more guns were fired.
Then came the usual salute from the
shore battery. Along about 4 o'clock
in the afternoon the salute from the
zaragoza was forthcoming. 1t seems
that the Nordenfeldt quick-firing guns
were being used. New fuses which were
purchased in San Francisco were pro-
duced. They proved too much for the
guns, and the mechanism was thrown
out of order.
The ZaragoZa is on a trip around the
world on scientific expedition for the
Mexican Government. The ocean cur
rents are the object of the corvettes
study, and at noon each day she drops
a bottle overheard containing messages
which are expected to turn up in all
sorts of funny places. The statement
that the corvette is doing all this work
for the United States photographic Of

evening contemporary, is denied aboard

see all the places to which the corvette
is bound
The corvette will remain here about a
week or ten days. It was the intention
to proceed from here to Yokohama, but
news having reached the ship that con-

place just now, it is very probable that
she will proceed Immediately to Ma

WILL CELEBRATE
Outline of Program to Commemo-

, rate American Independents.
The American celebration of the
coming Fourth bids fair to be one of
the best that has ever been held in the
Hawaiian Islands. The pavilion at
independence Park is already in the
hands of the decorators, and with fes-
toons. flags and flowers the hall is
being transformed into a bower of
patriotic beauty. Several hundred in
vitations have been issued, and there
is every prospect of society turning
out en- masse to assist in the proper
celebration of the might before the
Fourth
The literary exercises will be held
in the pavilion at 1 o'clock on Sat
urday afternoon. This change in time
from previous years is made so as to
give breathing spell after the Ha-
wal,an events of the forenoon. Ellis
Mills, United States Consul-General
and Charge d'Affaires, will preside at
the function, and Major q. K. Pang-
born of Jersey City, n. J., will be the
speaker of the day. Major Pangborn
is a speaker of note, having served as
orator at many of the Fourth OF July
celebrations in the larger Eastern
cities.
The Declaration of Independence
will be read by A. L. Morris, and the
exercises will be interspersed with pa
triotic songs rendered by a large
chorus.
The American celebration will close
with firing of the national salute al
sunset.

Live Crook County Affair.

John f. Circles informs us that on
the oath of last month as his band Of
sheep were on Alder Creek on the
South Fork of the John Day, 13
masked men on horseback armed with
pistols and Winchesters rode up to
his herder, Lloyd Chenoweth, and'told
him to drop his gun, which he did.
They then told him to throw up his
hands and instead of doing so he
grabbed his Winchester and sprang
behind a tree and opened fire on the
masked men who Immediately left,
not however until they had fired 20 or
80 shots. The herder shot IA shots
and thinks he hit two men. Mr.. Cir
Gle states he was an eye witness to
this affair being about mile away.
The next day Mr.. Circle states they
fired into Fred Smiths sheep and
killed about 100 head Review.

Doctors

TREATING THE WRONG
DISEASE.
How large bills are run up without
benefit to the sufferer.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one
from dyspepsia, another from nervous dis
ease, another from liver or kidney disease,
another with pain here and there, and in
this way they all present alike to them
selves and their easy going, indifferent, or
over-busy doctors, separate and distinct dis
cases. for which they prescribe their pills
and potions, assuming them to be such,
when, in reality, they are all only symptoms
caused by some womb disease The physi-
clan ignorant of the cause of suffering, en-
courages his practice until large bills are
made. The suffering patient gets no better,
but probably worse, by reason of the delay,
wrong treatment and consequent complica-
tions. proper medicine, like Dr. Pierce's

SENTENCED TWO YEARS. 2

Another One of The Fair Sex Sentenced.
Mrs. Ellen johnson, who was con-
victed on Saturday on the third trial
for stealing clothing and groceries
from residences on Portland Heights
was sentenced totwo years in the pen
itentitarys this morning by Judge
Stevens. When asked If she had any
thing to say, she replied in tremb-
ling voice that she had not, expect to
ask leniency as she was not guilty of
the crimes charged to her. She took
the sentence rather coolly and made
no demonstration in the court room.
A new trial will not be asked nor an
appeal taken, as the matter has been
sifted through three trials. People
on theHeights had been loosing things
for long time, and the thefts were
traced to the Johnson residence in
the neighbolhood. A ham bone lost
by one party and found in Mrs. John
sons pantry, which she could not ac-
count for together with lawyers
wardrobe, were among the principle
evidence against her.

OUR BALLOT LAW.

The Ashland Mckinley club has be-
gun a movement TO secure registry
law. 1t is advocated by the Oregon
ian and is no doubt step that should
be taken, If we are to have any pre-
lection whatever against repeating.
AS Oregon seems to be the only state
where voter can cast his ballot out
side of the precinct where he lives,
a registration law would stop that
fraud at least, but become a means of
perpetrating new frauds.
The amendment by the Legislature
before the last, allowing sample bal
lot, was step in the direction of
fraud. The amendment by the last
legislature, to group candidates
by party instead of alphabetically,
was a step in the interest of the dom
inant party. The ballot laws are
framed in the interest Of the corrup.
tionists, not Of the honest voter and
the result cannot be good government
