Rumors with regard to that alleged air
ship continue to float whether there is or
not anything more tangible in the wind.
The reports are now coming from the
northwest. At one point in Michigan the
light Of the mysterious ship was seen,
and the voices OF men were heard floating
down from the object carrying the light.
Evanston, Ind. also reports having seen
the apparition, or whatever else it may
be. It is on record, therefore, that Cali
fornia, Kansas and Nebraska have not a
monopoly of seeing things"

EIkins' Anti-Commerce Bill.

Senator Elkins of West Virginia has in
troduced a bill to levy a 10 per cent dis
eliminating duty upon all importations in
foreign ships, and has made a speech in
support of the proposition. He proposes
that even those articles which are admit
ted free shall pay a duty of 10 per
cent, il they are brought to this country
In other than American bottoms. He de-
clares that there would be no retaliation
under his bill; that England could not
hurt us by discriminating against our
ships; that she would not place duty on
food products bought Of US.
The senator says the purpose of his bill
is the upbuilding of the American mer-
chant marine. In order to carry out his
plan he would Immediately attack the
commerce of friendly nations, and as a
result start a war of retaliation. He says
we pay $4,000 every day, or nearly SO
per capita per annum, to foreign ship
owners for carrying what we sell and
buy" Are not the other people selling
and buying" at the same time? Are they
not about as much interested in inter-
national trade as we are, apart from the
carrying interests?
There would be no retaliation under the
bill, says the senator. Are those foreign
shipping men going to give up the $780,
600 per day which they are now receiving
for American freights without protest or
contest? They have millions upon mill
lions of dollars invested in ships. and
thousands of employees are dependent up
on the sailing of the ships for their daily
bread. Would they not, indeed, make an
effort, through retaliation OF the most
stringent sort, to retain that income Of
$4,000 per day?
Great Britain's merchant marine is her
pride. The government takes especial
care to look out for the interests Of the
ships. To suppose that parliament and
the ministry would remain supine and sec
such discrimination enforced against
British ships as Senator Elkins proposes
is to suppose an absurdity Not only
would Great Britain take vigorous action,
but the whole Of Europe would Join and
support her in IL. There would be no
question OF the concert Of Europe in such
case, and IL would be in the form OF a
commercial alliance against the United
States.
II Senator Elkins Is the real friend OF
the American merchant marine; II he
wishes 20 sec the time return when we
shall have commerce which leaves no
sea unexplored," let him lift up his voice
In favor OF free ships. Give American
ship owners the privilege OF buying YES
sells where they can be bought cheapest
and the right Of American registry for
such ships, and the revival Of the Amer
lean merchant marine Will be assured.

The Dress Coat.
From the New York Herald (Ind).

Mr.. Bailey of Texas has won a national
reputation all at once He has won 1t not
by doing something, but by refraining
from doing something. He has refused to
wear a dress coat He sacrificed a dinner
with the President rather than endure
that hateful garment There have always
been heroes and martyrs who preferred a
great cause to their own lives Whether
Mr.. Bailey be one of these may be doubt
full. But he Is at least entitled to rank
with the women who elect TO wear trous-
ers instead Of skirts.

The dispatches indicate that the flood
situation in the Mississippi valley Il
somewhat more encouraging than Il has
been for several days. However, there is
sim danger. and much damage will yet
occur. IL is gratifying to know that
measures have been arranged for relief
work on a considerable and probably am
pie scale. The promp,ness OF congress in

that Gen. Julio sanguilly is preparing to
prove an alibi at the right time. II is
said that at least two men that look like
him have been seen about the Cuban
haunts In Florida, when Il was known as
a fact that he was elsewhere. Each Of

Most likely its indigestion. The irritat'
ing peisons of fermenting, putrid food,
left in the stomach by indigestion, cause
headache, neuralgia, nervousness, head
ache, nausea, irritability, and all the
other well-known symptoms of indiges-
ton. -
They also cause many pains and disor-
ders which are often laid to other causes
and hence are not easily cured. But as
SOON as the poisons are removed, all
these disorders and symptoms disappear,
because there is nothing left to cause
them. Nothing succeeds in this like

A Valuable Experiment.

IF the growing of sugar beets in
Oregon does not develop into a
large am profitable industry with
in :the near future it will certainly
not be the fault of Prof. Shaw, the
station chemist. He is an enthu
siast on the subject OF sugar beets,
and at present is engaged in the
preparation of bulletin devoted
to this important industry.
This bulletin will be the second
oneqevoted to the culture of'sugar
beets that has been issued from
the Oregon Experiment Station
and. will contain much new and
valuable information of a practical
as well as scientific nature.
Professor Shaw has been in cor
respondence with farmers through
out tile state who are experiment.
ing with sugar beets, and one hun
dred and fifty pounds of seed have
been distributed among them from
the station, and a much larger
quantity has also been distributed
from other sources. Those receiv-
ing the seed will act under the di
rections of Prof. Shaw, and when
the beets are matured this fall,
they will be sent to him for analy-
sis. He has prepared a pamphlet
containing instructions relative to
planting and cultivation, copies of
which have been forwarded to all
who are assisting with the expert
ments.
This year, the professor says, 300
persons will plant sugar beet seed
in the vicinity of Medford, 100 at
Forest Grove, so at Hillsboro, and
25 at Pendleton, besides an occas
ional individual in other portions
of the state. Especial care has
been taken to ascertain all details
connected with the experiment,

A PARLoR CONCERT.

An enjoyable social and musical event
of the week was the parlor concert given
at the residence of R. E. Gibson, in this
city, Wednesday evening. There were
many present. as the guests of Miss
Edith Gibson, and they thoroughly en-
joyed the excellent program.
Mr.. Ruthyn Turney played three vio-
lin selections, one number being his own
composition. Mr.. Turney is true rnu-
sician and puts soul into his playing.
He was heartily eucored by the delight
ed guests. One response, a melody of
his own, was a perfect gem and was
probably the most thoroughly appreciated
number of the evening.
Mr., John Fulton sang Answer"
beautiful tenor solo, in excellent style
and made a good impression.
Miss Helen Crawford recited 1.-THE
Message" so charmingly that she was
compelled to respond to hearty encore.
Miss Luln Spangler sang ballad in a
captivating manner and won an encore.
Ike accompanist for the evening was
Miss Edith Gibson, who also rendered a
well,executed piano solo.
Atthe conclusion of the program, the
guests engaged in social converse for an
hour, when lunch was served.
The evening was one of the most en-
ioyable social. events, of the season and
Miss Gibson is to be congratulated upon
its success.
When the blood is kept pure and the
system thoroughly invigorated by the use
of Ayers Sarsaparilla, sudden changes

LIEUT.. FARROW'S TRIAL.
The Defendant Explains His COnnec-
ton with Woods & Co.

PITTSBURG Pa, May 1S.-The trial of
Lieutenant Edward S. Farrow, on the
charge of conspiring with c. Linford Woods
to defraud the Mutual Reserve Fund Life
Association, was continued to-day before
Judge S. A. McClung. The taking of tes-
of the defense to the jury made. All that
is to follow are the addresses of the prose-
cution, the charge of the court and the
verdict
Farrow was the principal witness of the
day. He said his only connection with
Woods was to further the interests of the
insurance company. The banking firm of
c. Linford Woods & Co. was the scheme
OF Woods. Farrow had no interest in it
anG was not to receive any profits. The
checks between himself and Woods We're
for personal matters and not to pay any
premiums. He never saw any of the per-
sons who testified to having been insured
eral manager of the company, and Fred
er1ck A. Burnham president, to Farrow
were produced. They stated that Farrow
was TO get as large an amount of business
as he could before the end of the year and
it did not matter what kind of business it
mind whether it was "creditable insur-
ance or not. The prosecution claimed the
letter should have read creditor FarroW

oring to have the agents get policy holders
TO accept a new form of policy for the ones
they held. There was a storm of indigna-
ton from the policy holders and Farrow
he said, he considered fraudulent on the
policy holders.
