Took His Gun By The Muzzle.

RosEBURG, Or, Jan. 25.-News was
received here today of the death on the
23d instant of Frank, the 19-year-old
son of Jesse Clayton, an old and res
pected pioneer of Douglas county, liv-
ing on the Umpqua river, twenty-five
miles from Oakland. Frank, while
hunting on the opposite side of the
river from home, met his sister, who
wished to be taken across the river.
He rowed her across, and, on return
ing for his companion in the hunt,
caught his rifle by the muzzle to take
it from the boat, when it was accident
ally discharged, the ball striking him
in the right,arm, ranging up the arm
and penetrating the right breast near
the nipple. His sister heard the re-
port of the rife, turned and saw her
brother fall face downward in the boat.
She says he remained there half an
hour before assistance came, and when
found he was dead,

a PARTITION OF TURKEY
The Plans of Peter the Great are About
to be Realized

the Plans of Peter the Great are About
to be Realized
: LONDON, Jan. 28.-The Daily News
this morning prints a dispatch from
Vienna asserting that news has been
received there from Constantinop! e
and Sebastopol which agrees that
Russia has fleet lying at Sebastopol
and at Odessa, and that the Caucasian
armies of Russia are being concen-
trated upon the Armenian frontiers
in readiness to move next spring to re-
alize the plans of Peter the Great
for the partition of Turkey between
the powers, Russia taking Armenia
and Constantinople, France taking
Syria and Palestine and England TAX
ing Egypt and the eastern shores of
the Persian gulf, the remainder of the
Turkish empire to be divided among
the other powers. The Daily News
also has dispatch from Sebastopol,
which records the secret preparations
going forward there. of shipping men
and armaments for volunteer fleet.
It is the general belief, this dispstch
affirms. that these propositions fore
shadow some action in the spring.

Chicago Excited Also.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-It was day of
high excitement throughout in the
wheat crowd. Quick, nervous flashes
of impatience marked the varied trans
actions. and the big traders stormed
through the turmoil of the pit in their
eagnerness to seize the key of the
enigma,
1t was sentimental, apparently more
than the news which gave the market
the big bulge. The bull sentiment
seems to be in the air and needs but
little encouragement to keep it going.
On the bulge some of the big buyers
began to hesitate, but the crowd had
got in line and the momentum still
carried it upward, May reached 6s 7-s
and closed at 65 3-8,

New YORK, Jan. 25.-The wheat
market shot upward this morning af-
ter the weight of the shaky long wheat
which has been unloaded at the open
ing. The first prices were easier be-
cause foreign news was more peaceful
than expected, but the bull fever
speedily asserted itself and the picture
of a pitful of sports all clamoriDg for
wheat, which was wild yesterday after
noon, was repeated in all its details to-
day. At such time a rumor of any
sort, if bullish, always assures tremen-
dous proportions and report from
Chicago that Armour was buying up
the wheat crop was taken in good faith
both here and West and caused no end
of excitement for awhile. May wheat
sold up to 724.

City, ILL.,, was told by her doctors she
had consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles of DIR.
Kings New Discovery completely
cured her and she says it saved her
life. Mr.. Thomas Eggers, 139 Florida
street, San Francisco, suffered from a
dreadful cold, approaching consump-
tion, tried without result everything
else then bought one bottle of DR..
Kings New Discovery and in two
weeks was cured. He is naturally
thankful. 1t is such results, of which
these are samples, that prove the won

General Manderson's Advice to the Com
mittee ON National Defenses.
OMAHA, Jan. 24.-Congressman
Hainer, of this state, who has been
recently member of the committee
on national defenses, has written Gen
eral Manderson asking information
and advice on coast defense and other
military matters. The latter, while in
congress, was member of the senate
committee on military affairs, and has
given much study to the matter. After
directing the committee to the origi-
nal and secondary sources of informa-
tion on the subject, and dwelling at
some length on the need of stronger
coast defenses, especially along the
Pacific coast, General Mauderson, in
his reply, writes as follows:
''While you are at work on this line,
the interior of the country should not
be neglected. In the event of war,
with our small army and comparative
ly Insignificant guard, it would take
some months of preparation in the
way of drill and discipline to put a
sufficient force on our borders to re
sist invasion. We must not only. when
war comes, have column to resist at
tack, but we must have troops at all
salient points on the border, and
scatter wherever the government has
military properyt or great interests.
Places removed from danger of attack,
because well away from the border,
like Atlanta, Chattanooga, Louisville,
Cincinnati, st. Louis, Denver and
Omaha, should be made points where
large garrisons can be maintained"

BERLIN, Jan. 27.-The Hon. Theo.

dor to Germany. expired suddenly and
unexpectedly at l o'clock this Mon
day. morning of heart failure. Mr..
Runyon had been in somewhat feeble
health for some time past, but no i'm
mediate fatal results were Anticipated.
No longer ago than last Tuesday even
ing he was present at a dinner given
in his honor by ex-Empress Frederick,
mother of Emperor William. Last
summer he had planned to make an
extended trip through Norway, but,
on the advice of his physicians, he
abandoned this trip, and, instead,
went to Carlsbad, where he took the
cure. He subsequently went to
Axenstein, Switzerland, for the pur-
pose of taking an after cure. Since
then,. however, he has manifested
great activity in the discharge of the
duties of his Office. which have been
more than usually onerous on account
of the complications in European af-
fairs, which have more or less de-
manded the attention of the diplo-
matte Representatives of all nations.
His death will come as a great shock
to official and social circles here in
Berlin, where he was great favorite.

AGIGANrIC ASSOCIATION.
More Than Thirty Railroad Systems In

More Than Thirty Railroad Systems In
Guided In 1t.
CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-After two days
session behind closed doors, the Off
GERS of more than thirty railroad sys-
tens formed gigantic association in
this city last evening. The organiza-
tion will be known as the Central pas
sanger committee, and will include all
the present roads in the territory
bounded by Toronto, Buffalo and Pits
burg on the east, Chicago, Peoria and
St. Louis on the west. the Grand
Trunk of Canada and Lakes Huron
and Michigan on the north and the
Ohio river on the south. The associa-
tion will have absolute jurisdiction
and control over all passenger affairs
in this big territory, and will be en-
tirely independent of and in no way
subsidiary to the president joint traffic
pool, the operation of which the inter-
state commerce commission is now
attempting to enjoin at New York.
The headquarters of the new organi-
zation will be in Chicago, from which
point ell passenger. matters in. that
territory will be directed. The COM
bine is not pool in any sense of the
word, but has been formed for the pur-
pose of agreeing upon and maintaing
uniform rates OF fare. Under the
agreement signed, each road will be
subject to fines for violations of rules,
cutting rates or any other infraction of
its provisions. Questions will be re-
ferred to arbitration. The differential
fare principle is recognized by the new
agreement, which means that there
will continue to be two classes of roads
in this territory, the standard and diff
ferential lines.

American actresses this generation

sympathies so gently, so surely and so

Old People

Old people who require medicine to
regulate the bowels and kidneys will
find the true remedy in Electric Bit
ters. This medicine does not stimu-
late and contains no whisky nor other
intoxicant, but acts as tonic and al
terative. 1t acts mildly on the stom-
ach and bowels, adding strength and
giving tone to the organs, thereby aid
ing nature in the performance of the
functions. Electric Bitters is an ex-
cellent appetizer and aids digestion.
Old people find it just exactly what
they need. Price so cents and 81 per
bottle at Blakeley & Houghton's drug

"a WALL OF MEN,.
Means Adopted by Campos For Stoppir
the Insurgents.

Means Adopted by Campos For Stopping
| the Insurgents.
New YORK, Jan. PA special to
the World from Havana says:
The plan of campaign adopted by the
commander-in-chief of the Spanish
forces now in Cuba has been divulged
by several officers of high rank, whose
name must be kept secret.
General Campos established what
became known as the ''wall of men,
He distributed large number of Span
ish troops in such manner that they
practically formed a solid line from
coast to coast. His line began in the
north, about five miles west of Ha-
vana, and extended south to the Bay
of Matamano. By the time this plan
was adopted, Gomez had announced
that he would take his command moo
only into Havana province, but that
he would go into Pinar de Rio, and
as far as he possibly could. Campos
determined to prevent Gomez from
carrying out his project. The wall of
men was we'll to the westward of the
railroad line between Havana and
Batabano. Gomez and Maceo not
only succeeded in crossing Campos'
line, but recrossed it several times,
and Gomez and Maceo. separated west
of it two weeks ago. Maceo remained
in Pinar de Rio province. doing about
as he pleased while Gomez invaded
Hayana province again, and one time
camped within Is miles of the capital
of Cuba.
Reports were printed in the United
States that Gomez was at the gates of
Havana and that it was only a ques.
tion of few hours when he would en-
ter the city. But Gomez had no in
tention of attacking this city. He
openly declared that his only object is
to tire out the Spanish troops.
A large number of armored cars
have been ordered. At least 5000
armed troops will be kept constantly
moving over the railroad.
Maceo and his command, the Span
ish generals say, cannot escape. He
is looked upon as an ''easy mark"
Many of his troops are believed to be
wounded. If Maceo tries TO go east he
will run up against a. new wall of men
much Stronger than be broke through
some weeks ago. If he tries to escape
west, the Spanish argue, he will have
to march to the sea, where his only
chance to get away will be in boats.
The Spanish commanders fear only
Gomez. Although he is nearly So
years old, they recognize in him one
of the ablest of fighting men, and an
expert tactician.
