THEIR FREEDOM GONE.
Descendants of the Bounty" Muffin
GERS Coerced at Last.

Washington, Feb. 22-OnIy now and
then at long intervals does the outside
world hear from Norfolk Island away
out in the South Pacific with its little
colony the descendants of the mutt
neers of the Bounty" But the state
department has just received one of
these occasional communications. 1t is
in the shape of a report from Isaac
Robinson, United States consulor agent
ON the island and contains an account
of the dissa abstraction of the Pitcairn
community who after having governed
themselves by their own laws for more
than one hundred years have now an
edict of the governor of New South
Wales been deprived of this right.
The governors action was caused as
he explained, by a desire to correct the
NAL administration of justice. The con-
sular agent reports that the little COL
ony of 1863 persons in all have suffered
from severe drought during the past
summer and the failure of the whale
fisheries which form their main reli-
ance.

REMEDY FOR GROUP.
First of All, Place the Sufferer in an
Upright Position.

Upright Position.
This is a disease of childhood. al
though we sometimes meet attacks in
grown-up people.
There are two forms of this trouble
the membraneous Group and the spas
modic Group.
The membraneous Group 10 a very
fatal disease, causing many deaths In
some ways it resembles diphtheria, and,
like this disease, it requires the best
medical skill.
The spasmodic or common form of
Group may be treated intelligcntly at
home, unless the attack lasts too long
or occurs too frequently, when physi-
clan should be consulted.
In this form Of Group there is a swell
ing and Inflammation of the CLOTHS,
which is that part of the throat where
the voice is produced by the air passing
through the vocal cords, or another
form may be the result of a nervous
contraction of the muscles of the thront.
It usually occurs at night The child
awakens out of a sound sleep gasping
and choking, and the difficulty of
breathing is often distressing to wit
ness. The mother or nurse must retain
her presence of mind, and while acting
promptly will try and quiet the child's
fears.
Keep the child in an upright OF sit
ting posture, and loosen all bands
around the throet or body; put a cold
compress around the throat-the colder
the better, as it will the more readily
break the spasm of the CLOTHS muscles;
never mind if the child screa ms; pin it
snugly on, and over it put a dry towel:
after a short time you will see the
breathing gradually become easier, the
struggles cease, the face become a more
natural color, and the child, being some
what exhausted from its fight for
breath, will gradually drop into a gentle
sleep. Giving the child anything to
swallow during the spasm will only
make matters worse, as it will interfere
with the breathing and Brighten the
child more. Children that are predds-
posed to this trouble should be taught
to breathe through the nose, if they are
old enough. They should be warmly
clothed during cold weather, wearing
flannel underclothing. Their general
health should be built up by giving
them nourishing food, plenty of milk
and by daily baths of tepid water, in
which sea salt has been dissolved,
enough to make the water taste strong
ly of it. A dessertspeonful of cod liver
oil may be given three times a day.
The child should also have all the sun
shine and fresh air it can get without
taking cold.
The cough syrups usually put up are
of little use and will often nauseate.
Generally, with good hygiene and
good nursing the child outgroyvs the

Rose Wellington, one of The Oalles
demi-mondes, again attempted to end
her life of sin and shame by taking a
dose of morphine and blue vitrol, last
night about 1890 O'Clock. The doctors
do not think she is liable to sccceed
this time any better than she did on
her former attempts, although she
would undoubtedly have accomplished
her purpose had aid not arrived so
promptly. 4 note was found in her
room stating that her lover no longer
cared for her and had ceased to love
her, so that she had nothing to live
for. This is the third time this wo-
man has atten n pied to take her life.
Once before she took morphine and at
another time shot herself.

Miners at Baker City.

J. 81. Cradlebaugh, of The Dale:
Chronicle, and r. B. Sinnott passed
through Baker City yesterday on q
visit to their mines at Robinsonyille,
1t is pleasure to note tie entrance in.
to the mining field of Eastern Oregon
of two such representative and enter
prising gentlemen as these, for their
influence extends farther than many
people know of in many ways, and if
their efforts meet with even a fair
measure of success it will mean much
to the mines of Baker. Mother Earth
owes good mine to Jack Cradlebaugh.
Few men have done more for this Sec
tion in the way of drawing the atten-
tion of capital to the wonderful
mineral resources of this district than
he. 1t is stated by those who are able
to Judge, that he and his associates
have acquired q mine of undoubted
merit in one of the beat districts in
in this state. Mr.. Cradlebeugh has
had wide range of experience in
mining affairs May success crown all
his efforts and that of every man
identified with him. He deserves it,
for he shows his faith by his works.

Discovery of the Substance Used In r.

A most remarkable entomoloric,1 die

Latter, the great naturalist. tits to tbs
effect that the image of the moth Dicra.
nura vinuia secretes a pure caustic
potash which it uses TO penetrate the
tough silken bag or cocoon in which
it is inclosed, says the st. Louis Repub-
lie.
Caustic potash is, rs most everyone
knows, a powerful caustic which de-
stroys skin and flesh when brought in
contact with it. That it should be Sc
creted or formed IN. the mouth or inter-
nal anatomy of any living creasure is
so singular and unlikely that the ento-
mologists were at first inclined to dis
believe the story as related by Mr.. Lat
ter, in telling Of his discovery.
1t has long been known that this mr.
ticular species of moth used scme kind
of liquid with which to soften the CO.
coon when he arrived at the age when
nature limited that it was time to ret.
rid of the silllen envelope, but Mr.. Lat
ter's experiments have for the first time
disclosed the nature of that LIQUID.
Prof. Latter made this singular discov-
cry by clipping the ends from cocoons
and catching the liquid when it was
elected. This he subjected to chemical

The old saying that lightning does
not strike twice in the same place can
not be applied to Meatz & Pundt's
saloon on the corner of Court and
Main streets. One year ago last Octo-

being held, the saloon was burglarized
by gaining an entrance through back
door, the panel being taken entirely
out. The robbers secured about S13

o'clock the saloon was again burglar

ed through the same door, bat in place
of taking the panel out the burglars cut
hole in the door opposite to where 6
bolt holds it secure, and by passing a
hand through the opening unfastened
the bolt, and finding that they could
not gain admittance on account of the
lock being fastened they forced a
jimmy between the door and the sill
and by main strength succeeded in get
ing in. Once in they Immediately
went to the till and forcing it open
took what money there was, amounting
to about $500. The work must have
been very quickly done as the robbers
did not take time to pull the blinds
down on the windows. Nothing SO far
as knoNn was disturbed in the saloon
except the till. The robbers did not
even stop to take a drink. Taking this
latter fact as a clew Sheriff Driver and |
Marshal Lauer are now at work on |

Verdict of coroner,s Jury.

We the jury empaneled by w. B
Butts, coroner of Wasco county, Gre
gon, to inquire into the cause of the
death of person whose body is now
before vs. find as follows:
That the name of the deceased was
81. 4. Baker, of the age of about g.
years, and was at the time of his death
he was pile inspector and had charge
of pile inspection for the o. R. & N.
Co. on its piling being placed for a
bridge over Mill Creek, in Dalles City,
Oregon.
That just q moment prior to his
death he was standing on a cribbing
constructed of two ties about $50 feet
north of the main line of said company.
and fell therefrom, the cause of such
fall being at this time unknown, and
from the evidence we are not able to
find any cause for such fall except un
avoidable accident, and we therefore
conclude that the cause of the death of
said deceased was an unavoidable ac-
cident and that no one is at fault or
for said death.
