Ills BODY FOR SALE.
Means by Which a San Francisco Mar
Hopes to PrOlOnr His Life

Means by Which San Francisco Man
Hopes to Prolong His Life.
There is man in San Francisco will
ing to barter his body to pay his debts
"a man so honest that the duns of his
landlord drive him to desperation. Re-
Gently he tried to sell his body to the
board of health that he might be able
to live decently and honestly until the
time for delivery.
The mans name is Wilhelm Opper-
mann, and he is 81 years old. He has
lived in San Francisco 13 years, and in
America 81. He first saw the light in
Hanover, and something of the father
land speech still fingers on his tongue.
The body he wishes to sell is hand
some and healthy, and many million
aire, who has not lived as well, would be
glad to pay ten times the price, could
the transfer take place Immediately.
Oppermann has never been i'll, but he
is willing to sell the body that has
served himsAso well on condition that
his soul be allowed to retain his mortal
part as long as it likes. Afterward the
purchaser of the body can do what he
likes with it.
BY profession Oppermann is COM
poser and teacher of music, his instru-
ment being the either. Years ago he
made fair living in San Francisco mu-
sic teaching, but his stringed instru-
ment is no longer the fad. Pupils have
fallen off, and if the few remaining ones
are i'll or have no engagement there is
no pay for the teacher.
And SO things have gone on from bad
to worse with the old master and his
old wife. They have moved from place
TO place-always to less desirable one.
Now they are not able to pay the rent
of the little house at 20 Julian avenue
In January Oppermann sold his beau
he loved his soul, and better than his
body. 1t went for third of it's value,
and the money was gulped down by the
rent-ogre. Though it is only May, the
wolf is again at the door.
In his extremity Oppermann thought
out his novel scheme. He decided to
offer his body for sale. So he APP
preached the board of health and asked
them to buy. Taken back by his propo-
sition, one of the members told him to
put his petition in due form and present
it on Wednesday. The old man is hop
ing that the proposition will be ac-
cepted.
If not, he is going to the medical col
leges to ask them to buy a fine. stalwart
cid body, to be delivered to them when
the owner is through with it. In this
way the mind that owns the clay hopes
to get another start in this slippery
world of ours.-San Francisco Chron-
icle.

WITH apple trees producing on an
average of $l4 per year, it does not
need large tract of land nor large
number of trees in Western Washing
ton to make the owner independent.
The farmers of the Western Washing
ton islands are probably as forehanded
and independent as any in the Union.
With immense crops of potatoes, wheat
that averages in the vicinity of one
hundred bushels per acre, and plenty
of fruit trees, they have nearly ali be-
come independent, and are making
good money every year.-Ledger

Better Prices For Lumber.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 1O.-An associ-
alton to be known as the Lumber Man
ufacturers of the Pacific Coast has been
formed, and has advanced the price OF
lumber from $3.50 and $40 to $11 per
thousand, cargo delivered. The fol-
lowing firms have joined the new
association:
Stimson Mill Company, Bellingham
Bay Land and Improvement Company
Tacoma Mill Company, d HI Bib
Lumber Company, st. Paul and Ia
coma Lumber Company, Renton
Holmes Co., E X Wood Lumber
Company, Pope Talbot, w J Adams,
S e Slade Lumber Company, Gray's
Harbor Commercial Company, Wilson
Bros. & Co., Gardiner Mill Company
Simpson Lumber Company. These
dealers control the pine market, and it
is expected that the redwood mer-
chants will come into the combine,
and another advance may be made.

EVERY old soldier is aware of the
fact that the first few months after a
soldier goes into active service is the
crucial test In that time they get
homesick and long to return to their
friends and firesides, and unless some
thing is done they soon 'give up the
ghost Married men especially suffer
from homesickness. A discouraging
letter from home, or word that the
family is suffering makes the soldier
almost frantic. If the cases so often
reported could be traced to the true
cause it would show that six out of
ten of those deceased were the direct
result of homesickness.-Kent Journal.

Fall, colored, found a grip on Judge
w. &. Whitthorne's place, under
big tree near the railroad, which

of the watches bore inscriptions, one
of which was "Tennent LomaX, 1885. 4"
