WHY NOT BUY A SINCERE

You want a sewing machine? Then
why not buy a singer; there has been
more of them sold than any other
make. They wear longer, run light
er and do better work than any other
make. They have never been a cut
price machine, the workmanship on
the Singer will not admit of cut pri-
ces. A few dollars in the original
cost between a good machine and a
poor one counts for nothing. B. Ber-
gerson, agent, Bethel street.

CLEARS A MYSTERY
 OF SHASTA COUNTY
Skeleton of Missing Henry Dolman Found in the Woods Near
 lakeview

BEDDING, Sept. 2S.-The mystery sur rounding the disappearance of Henry Dol man was cleared a few days ago by the discovery of his bleaching skeleton eigh- teen miles northeast of Lakeview.
 Shortly after the Fourth of July Dol man suddenly disappeared from his ac- customed haunts, leaving no trace by which his whereabouts could be ascer- tained. The country for miles around was thoroughly searched, but the mystery of his disappearance could not be lifted.
 On the 22d inst. a young man named Vierling, sheepherder in the employ of w. K. Barry, stumbled on the remains of man near the Drake camp. The skele- ton was lying near a log, a rusted Win chester rifle on the ground beside it. The arms were extended and the face lay downward.
 Coroner Harris went to the scene of the grewsonie find, held an inquest and brought the remains to Lakeview for burial. The Coroner's jury brought in a verdict to the effect that the skeleton was that of Walter Dolman, & native of Norway, 2S years old and un- married. Death was attributed to the &C., cldental discharge of a Winchester rifle In his own hands. It was evident that after the unfortunate man received the fatal wound he had walked about button Ing his coat tightly about him to stop the How Of blood. He was resident of Cali fornfa. The whereabouts of his relatives, 1T he had any in America, could not be ascertained. The remains were inferred Ill the potterS field.

sion type, in one water-tight compart- ment. The high-pressure cylinder IF inches in diameter, the intermediate 26A inches, and the low-pressure 40 inches; the stroke of the engine is to be 34 inches. The boilers -four in num- ber) are to be of the water tube type, constructed for a working pressure of 250 pounds, and are to be placed in one water-tight compartment. TherA will be the usual auxiliary machinery and workshop tools
 The total coal Ddnker capacity will allow at least 200 tons with loose stow age, without trimming.
 These vessels will have staterooms in addition to one for the captain for six officers, require a complement of crew of 125. for whom ample berthing space has been provided. Store rooms are provided for one months supply of clothing, contingent and small stores.
 The estimated speed of the vessel Is to be 12 knots, amply sufficient for a harbor- defense vessel.
 These harbor-de monitors, which will have all the latest improvements known to naval science, will be i'm portant additions to the navy, and be- ing small, with large crew accommoda- tionS for vessels of their size, they will be valuable for the use and instruction of the naval militia that important or ganization which has so ably served the Government in the late war with Spain.

OREGON READY FOR
 HER LONG VOYAGE

NEW YORK, Sept &-The United States battleship Oregon went down from the Brooklyn Navy Yard and anchored off Tompkinsville, preparatory to her start on her long voyage to the Pacific The Oregon draws more than two feet over her normal draft. 2S feet, so that she is over 90 feet in the water. Besides an enormous consignment of stores and provisions, she carries 1460 tons of coal and more than 800 tons of ammunition. In order to carry this amount or powder and shells a number of temporary maga- zines were constructed in her hold.
 As the ship moved out of the navy yard her band began to play "Homeward Bound" Her crew was drawn up on the port bow, with the marine guard abaft the bow. The dock was crowded with marines and sailors and crowd of spec tators. Cheers were exchanged. The Oregon was cheered by the crews of the Texas, Iowa. Massachusetts and Rain bow, which she passed on her way out. She responded by the blowing of her big steam siren.
 The Oregon will remain at Tompkins- vile until tomorrow, when she is to be joined by the Iowa. The two will then begin their cruise to the Philippines It was said at the navy yard that the req son the Iowa was unable to start to-day was that she was waiting for an addi- tional consignment of ammunition which is expected to arrive to-day.

900 each. The limit of time for comple- tion is twenty-one months, with penal ties from $500 to. $500 a day for failure.
 The Navy Department, in the, con- struction of this class of vessel, secur- ing the greatest results at the least eX- penditure of money, has in view not only the securing of the mainland har- bors of the United States, but also of its island possessions in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
 The design for the monitors, which have been named Arkansas, Connecti- cut, Florida and Wyoming, was. pre- pared by Chief Constructor Hichborn. It was decided that the best all round arrangement that could be built with the available appropriation was the ar rangement with single-balanced turret on the center line forward, containing two high-powered 12-inch breech-load- ing rifles. gun that has just been de- signed to be used with smokeless pow der; four finch rapid-fire breech-load- ing rifles, also to be used with smoke less powder, complete the main bat tery. The secondary battery will con- sist of three six-pounder rapid-fire and four 1-pounder automatic rifles.
 The general characteristics of these vessels, as shown in the elements of de- sign, will be: Length on load water line, 225 feet; breadth (extreme) at water line, 50 feet; mean draft at nor nal displacement, 12 feet inches; nor nal displacement, about 270O tons;
