Woman Talked From Her Cofan After
Being Prepared for Burial.
Kendrick, Idaho, April '27.-The
people of the village of Southwick, To-
Gated fifteen miles from here, on the
edge of the timber, were Mortified last
Sunday by the apparent returning to
life Of Mrs. Fred Wendt, who was pro-
nounced dead on Friday morning from
a severe case Of hemorrhage of the
bowels.
The body had been prepared for bur-
ial, and was lying in the coffin, when
the seemingly dead woman opened her
eyes and began conversing with those
about her. She was in an extremely
weak condition from loss of blood, and
managed to show signs of life for eight
hours, when she was again pronounced
dead, and was buried on Monday. The
case has excited considerable comment
on account of the short time in which
she was buried, some believing she
might have been in trance, and vas
buried alive.

of this city is lying at the point OF
death as the result of knife wound in
his left side, inflicted by William
Howard, at q late hour last night.
Rifle. in company with friend, was
riding along Alder street, when his
horse became unmanageable. The

barn. Rifle ran into the barn and
asked boy named Howard for a
wrench. The boy replied that none

striking his son, and went to his assist
ance, when Rifle struck him. He had
a knife in his hand, and, being excited,
used it without thinking. Rifle is
resting easily, tonight, and there are
faint hopes of his recovery.

Seattle Cyclists' Excursion.

Tacoma, WASH, April 81. - Five
hundred members of the Queen City
Cycling Club came to Tacoma on the
steamer Flyer this morning for spin
over the prairie roads and bicycle paths
to American lake, ten miles distant.
They were escorted by over l 900 Taco
ma wheeelmen, which gave the affair
the appearance of an immense picnic.
Lunches were spread at the lake. The
Columbia River & Puget Sound Navi-
cation Company donated the use of the
Flyer to the Seattle club, resulting in
raising over $3.50 toward extending the
Lake Washington bicycle boulevard at
Seattle.

weskLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkins = cenpsny's Review
Of Trade.

Downins, Hopkins = Compsny's Review
The past week has been . very active
one in the wheat market, prices ad-
yancin9 materially and substantially.
Liquidation by the long interest has
ceased and the speculative short sellers
have been liberal buyers to cover pre-
vious sales. The principal causes for
this reversal have been the renewed ex-
port demand and the unprecedented
large sales of -four, mostly for homo
consumption. In addition, crop pros
poets in American are much less favor
able. The winter wheat crop now
promises no important increase COM
pared with that Of last year. The ex-
oessive moisture has generally retarded
the seeding of spring wheat, particular
" in the Northwest, where severe
floods in the Red river and Jim river
valleys promise to seriously delay
spring seeding, and is certain to pre-
vent any large increase in acreage sown
as compared with last year.
Hot winds in California have caused
extensive damage and advanced prices
in San Francisco markets equal to lac
per bushel
The total crop yield now promises not
to be sufficiently larger than that OF
last year to meet the increasing demand
for American breadstuffs by importing
countries. In this connection it should
be remembered that since the war with
China, Japan has subsidized her mer-
chant marine with the war indemnity.
The consequent reduction in ocean
freight rates has led to large sales OF
wheat and -four to Japan and China,
amounting to 90. 600, 600 bushels during
the present crop year. The opening
up of this new market for our wheat is
certain to have stimulating effect on
values. Nothing but the lack of specu-
lation prevents an advance in prices.
The export demand, if continued, with
our present small stocks, may lead to
increased speculative activity and fur
nish the market with that support the
lack of which caused the recent de.
cline.

The Importers Little Game.


When the importers allow the bill
70 pass some months hence several
hundred million dollars worth of goods
will have been brought in by them.
That will swell the revenues this
spring and summer, but they will be
lean for two years or more to come.
Then, next, there will be lack OF
revenue. The consumers will begin
to ask why that is the case when they
are paying more for goods. The disap-
pointed people will put this question to
the politicians, and they will be unable
to answer it satisfactorily.
The men in the factories and mills
will ask how it is that under law de-
signed to give them more protection
there is less demand for their services.
The politicians can explain to them
that such vast stocks of goods were
brought in prior to the enactment OF
the tariff law that the market is over
supplied and there is no demand for
American products. But will that ex-
PLANTATION be satisfactory?
If the people are not satisfied then
1898 may be repetition of 1890, and
1900 may be a repetition of 1S92.-

THREE MEN DROWNED.
Fishermen Lose Their Lives Near
Bonneville.


Bonneville.
Bonneville, Or, April 28.-Three
Finnish fishermen John Sunquist,
Anton johnson and man named Suyne
we're drowned yesterday morning In
the Columbia, in the narrow channel
between the Oregon side and the island
directly above this place. Only the
body of Sunquist has been recovered.
The men had been visiting their nets,
which were set in an eddy, near the
shore. and were lacking back to Bonnie
vile. There is fearful current in the
river in the channel, particularly at
the present stage of water, and naviga-
ton is Away dangerous. When in one
of the most hazardous places in the
stream, the wind, which was blowing
gale, caught the sail and capsized the
boat, dumping the three men into the
rapid water. They instantly disap-
peared.
A man named Olin, who was walking
along the track of the o. r. & NJ, wit
messed the accident, and endeavored to
get boat out to the rescue, but was
unable to launch it in the rapid cur
rent Seeing that all efforts to save
the men would be in vain, be ran down
the track abreast of the boat, which
was drifting swiftly down stream, and
caught it after it had lodged on boom
near the mouth of Tanner creek, below
Bonneville.
A taut rope extended from the boom
into the water, which pulled and
tugged in the current, as if there vsas
an anchor attached to it. Pulling it
up, Olin was Mortified to see that it sup
ported the body of a man, and lifted
out Sunquist, dripping and lifeless.
He Immediately searched about in
hope that the other two men had Sc
cured themselves to the boat, but could
find neither of them, and their bodies
have not as yet been recovered.
Sunquist's presence of mind in secur-
ing himself to the boat might have
saved him in easy water, but it availed
only to save his body in the terrible
water below the cascades.

good LOOKS,

There are more wrinkles in the face OF
baby monkey than there are i'll that OF an
old baboon. And speaking of wrinkles,
more of them can be wrought ont in fair
young face by neuralgia than in that of an
aged person. Constant pain will shrivel,
and neuralgia neglected will pillow its fur
rows deep. 1t not only wrinkles, but takes
the bloom away and gives the skin dull
and yellow look. st. Jacobs Oil is a prompt
and sure cure for neuralgia, and it should
be used, as while 1t soothes and cures, 1t
smooths out the tracks of pain and leaves
the skin healthy and fair again; besides it
rids the sufferer of much torment and re-
stores happier disposition. Cook looks
come only with good health, and health is
found in the absence of pain.

The Same Old scolds.

The same old crowd are now picking
the Dingley bill to pieces. They are
attacking the bill as whole and in de-
tai, and the strongest and wisest pro-
visions viii be the points where the
free trade attacks will be the most Bit
ter and relentless. They are claiming
it as return to McKinleyism, bill to
foster monopoly, measure to increase
taxation, and they are leveling against
it all the stock arguments of those who
imagine we can become rich and pros
porous by buying our manufactured ar
ticles abroad instead of making them at
home and employing our own labor.
Those who believe in the opposite doc
trine must be prepared for all this, and
must meet it promptly and squarely.
The best way to do this is to refuse to
be led of into any discussion of sched-
ules before the objects and principles
underlying this important measure of
relief are fairly laid before the people.
In the first place, both President Nc
Kinley and Mr.. Dingley have told us it
is necessary to provide for deficit of at
least $50, 900, 600 per annum from this
method of taxation. Until the United
States is able to pay as it goes there can
be no financial stability and no indus
trial prosperity.-Robert P. Parker.
