nature carefully and reduces them to a sci

A doctor knows that certain remedies
affect certain diseases.
When disease seems to have no remedy,
the doctors pronounce it incurable. All the
time Nature may have the remedy right at
hand, but it will only be discovered by the
doctor who has studied longer and deeper
than others into this particular disease.
Consumption seemed for long time with
out a remedy, until DR.. Pierce made his

San Francisco Markets.

Trading in wheat continues to be slow.
Buyers bid lower, owing to the state of
the English market. Very little new
wheat has been forwarded to tide-water,
holders being willing to hold back sup
plies until the season is further ad-
vanced. Exporters seem to prefer oper-
ating in new to old stock, and the in
quiry is decidedly in favor of the former.
The new season starts in with compar-
atively small amount of engaged ton
mage, which would indicate that the
earlier months will develop a slow
movement, and that the position of the
6rade is halting one. Exporters evince
a cautious disposition, as if to anticipate
wants as little as possible, and that
there will be less of speculative char
acter TO dealing and more of legitimate
business, based on a fair profit and
quick sales. At the Produce Exchange
the feeling was very conservative, and
operations largely guided by the situa-
tion abroad. to the neglect of local con-
ditions. Quotations-No. 1 shipping,

extended visit through Sherman county,
and is deeply impressed with the suita-
bleness of that section for fruit-raising.
He thinks all that is required is good
judgment in selecting place for an or
chard and that success will be assured.
He was astonished at some of the or
chards be saw, and came home with
quite different idea of that section as
an orchard country from what he went
there with.
A gang of about 80 gypsies are en-
camped just outside of the city limits,

least that is as near town as they will

that if they came into the town begging
and telling fortunes he would arrest
them, and that settles them. Their
leader stated he only wanted to remain
near town long enough to get a wagon
repaired when they would move on.

sesen enjoying herself. In a moment
the place was emptied, the frantic widow
leading the race across the 800 yards OF
road to her blazing cottage. She arrived
just in time to catch a view of her two
babies, lying on their cots, the angry
flames curling about them, and then the

K1rn's Body Found.

After hours of labor the body of Kirn,
the Albina grocer, who fell over the pre-
cipice at Mt. Hood, was recovered Tues
day night. W. A. Langille and five
others were six hours in getting the
body to the Inn. 1t lay in a very dan
gerous place, and had to be dragged at
the end of rope for quite a distance,
before it could be picked up. 1t was
then carried for quite distance on a
litter, and finally was put on a pack
horse. Had the body slid 40 feet further
it would have gone into deep crevasse,
from which it could not have been re-
covered.
Indeed it was only owing to the big
heartedness and intrepidity of Will Lam
gille that the body was eyer found, for
he risked his life in following Kirn's
trail to where he plunged over the pre-
cipice. In no other way could the body
have ever been found. Coroner Butts
held the inquest, from which it will be
seen that Kirn fell not 400, but between
800 and 900 feet. The jury's verdict is
as follows:
CLOUD CAP INN, July 13. 1897.
We, the undersigned jurors, duly
sworn by w. II. Butts, coroner of Wasco
county, to examine the body and inquire
into the cause of the death of one Fred
erick Kern, do hereby find that the de-
ceased came to his death by falling from
point 400 or 500 feet from the summit
of Mt. Hood, a'distance of 800 or 900 feet
to the head of the Newton Clark Glacier
the same being on the southeast side of
Mt. Hood. The body was found lying
face down on the snow, with both legs
and his neck broken and several bad
cuts on his head. We also find deceased
to be resident of Portland, Oregon, oc-
cupation unknown.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Two Children I+pse Their Lives---Three
Had a Very Narrow Escape.

blazing cottage, the charred remains
of her two youngest children showing
through the smoke and flame as the roof
fell in, her three other children suffering
from burns, standing in their night
clothing, sobbing and wringlng their
hands in dismayed agony over the fate
that had overtaken their two youngest
brothers, such was the scene presented
to Widow Bessesen, of Linnton, as at
midnight last night she left neighbours
house and reached her own.
The widow Bessenen's home is not at
Linnton proper, but some two miles be-
low on the river bank, near the Phillip
postofice. Mrs. Bessesen had been in
vited to spend the evening at a neigh
boris some 300 yards distant from her
own home, where a pleasant festivity in
commemoratIon of some event in the in
viting family's household was to be cele-
brated. Affairs of this sort are rare in
the sparsely settled section of country of
which Phillip postoffice is the center,
and the widow accepted the invitation
with pleasure.
She is the mother of five children,
aged respectively II, 9. 6, and 2 years
of age. Carefully tucking the little ones
in their beds, shortly after O'Clock, she
started for the neighbours house. antici-
pating an evening of enjoyment, and be-
lieving that her brood left at home would
as usual drop off into the dreamless sleep
of childhood and continue to slumber un-
til her return.
The widow was mistaken. To cele-
brate the Fourth of July the children
had been supplied with frecrackers.
| These had not all been exploded on the
Fourth and what were left were stored
on the shelf of the pantry, much to the
chaGrin of the children, who wished to
continue the shooting of the frecrackers
as long as one was left. The absence of
the mother gave them the opportunity.
Becoming assured that she had reached
the neighbours house, the three elder
children stole out of bed and climbing to
the firecrackers, dragged them from the
pantry shelf and began exploding the
/ squibs in the kitchen. With the last
| fuse lighted and the pop of the cracker
sounding, the children stole back into
bed and were soon asleep. Shortly be-
fore midnight the eldest child, boy of
II years, was awakened by the room fill
/ ing with smoke. Half suffocated, and
gasping for breath, the lad tumbled from
his bed and awakened the two children
nearest him. By this time the lad was
dizzy and faint, and dragging the chill
dren after him, made his way toward the
kitchen door. AS he reached the hall
the whole structure burst forth in flame,
and it was but by his last effort that
young Bessenen managed to get his
brother and sister into the open air.
In the interior of the blazing structure
there yet remained the two baby boys,
4 and 2 years old. The eldest boy made
desperate struggle to reach them
through the front of the cottage. He
was driven back by the flames ano
smoke, his hands and face being badly

OH in Alaska.

What is said to be the greatest oil dis
covery ever made is reported from Alas
ka. Some gold prospectors several
months ago ran across what seemed to
be lake of oil. The lake was fed by in
Vulnerable springs, and the surrounding
mountains were full of coal. They
brought samples to Seattle and tests
proved it to be of as high grade as any
ever taken out of Pennsylvania wells.
A local company was formed and experts
sent up. They returned Saturday on
the Topeka, and their report has more
than borne out the first reports. 1t is
said there is enough oil and coal in the
discovery to supply the world. 1t is
close-to the ocean; in fact, the experts
say that the oil oozes out into the salt
water. 1t is said that the Standard Oil
company has already made an offer for
the property. The owners have filed on
$500 acres, and are naturally very much
ex~ited over their prospective fortune.

HOW TO KEEP ONIONS.
They Must BE Handled Quite ns .nre-
fully as Apples.

They Must BE Handled Quite ns Inre-
fully as Apples.
Half the secret of keeping onions
we'll is in housing them in perfectly
dry, sound condition. If to be sold be-
fore cold weather, keep in any dry place
with plenty of air; loose floor where
air can pass up through them is best.
For winter use, keep at low temper
ature; if kept from actual freezing
there is no danger of the temperature
being too low. They must be kept dry,
but if they become frozen they should
not be handled, merely covered and
kept in the dark until the frost grad
ually leaves them. 1t is not the freez-
ing which does the mischief, but mov-
ing them when frozen, and repeated
thawing and withdrawing of frost.
Wherever the essential conditions pre-
vail of uniformly low, dry temperature,
absence of light and not too severe
frost, they may be safely stored for
winter. Moisture and heating in bulk
should be guarded against. To avoid
gathering moisture and heating, the
bulbs should not be over two feet deep,
better less. If too warm they grow and
rot.
For winter storage, place them in a
building with tight floors under which
the frost cannot get. On such floor
place scantling, upon which lay narrow
boards one-half inch apart. Upon this
drying floor build up false partition
one foot within the outside walls. Thus
arranged, they have free circulation
of air all around and under them. When
the temperature sinks to 90 degrees it
is well to fill in the space with straw
to stop the circulation of the cold air.
They can be put in bins of this struc.
ture, from two to three feet deep.
Cover with hay or corEstalks sufficient.
ly to protect them. Always handle
them as carefully as apples, as even
slight bruises cause them to mold OF
rot.-N. L. Farmer.

mum. Manure is dropped under the
stable. The main barn is packed full
of hay annually. 1t also contains sta
bles for six horses, bedding material for
cows and feed. A circular silo, 40 feet
in diameter and high to hold $50 tons,
will be built this summer, to open into

ration consisted of ensilage, hay, oat
fodder, corn fodder and corn meal,
gluten meal and bran, all except gluten
and bran being raised on the farm.
On this 125-acre farm, of which ten
are in woodland, 60 in pasture and 55 in
thorough cultivation, things are made
to move all the time. The six horses
are kept busy at work except during
winter, and three men are employed all
the time, others as needed. Milk is the
main crop being sold direct to con-

They Hold Up Train and Failing to Rob
the Express Car Relieve Passengers of
Their Coin.
Austin, Tex, Oct. 13-Tuesday after
noon within II miles OF this city, the
southbound cannon ball train on the
International & Great Northern rail-
road was held up by four men and
robbed. The conductor of the train,
Tom Healy, was shot by the robbers
while resisting them, but was not
seriously wounded. One of the passen-
gers had his shirt collar carried away
by a pistol ball that was aimed at his
neck and another received bullet
wound in the hand.
The express messenger left his car
and ran through the woods The rob-
bers, leaving two men to guard the
three coaches, went to the express car
and demanded that the baggageman
open the safe, but upon being assured
that he could not do so, turned their
attention to the passengers. After Sc
curing about $500 they uncoupled the
engine from the train and started of
down the track. After going several
miles they set the lever at a moderate
gait and left the engine, scampering
into the surrounding country. The
engine came on to Duval and was
there captured and the station agent
returned to the scene of the robbery,
secured the train and came on to this
oit
