HISTORY.

Popular belief associates the
Kings Evi''' with blood poi.
soning and it is interesting tc
here review the history of this
impression. The Kings Evil
first appears i'll History just prior
to the Twelfth Century when
Edward the Conqueror imagined
he possessed the miraculous gift
of curing certain diseases by the
simple touch and by pronouncing
few sacred words. After the
example Of Edward, the King Of
France, became celebrated for
the skill with which they cured
scrofula, goitre, etc, by his pro-
cess. Scrofula then became uni
versally known as the Kings
Evil and is to-day sometimes al
luded to by that name. Such a
method of cure has been claimed
to Ae the peculiar attribute Of the
sovereisns of England and
France, bat history does not SAIL
ton this, for it appears to have
been not unfrequently employed
in Scandinavia, and to have been
derived from the mystical prac-
tees of the Divide in curing dis
ease. The exact words used for
the cure Of Scrofula by the
French Kings were:-"Le roi te
touchc, Dieu te guerisse.'
In this enlightened age no.
body would be silly enough to
trust a case of Scrofula to a King
or his words unless it happered
that the King aforesaid, had a
diploma or two from medical
colleges of good repute. At this
writing none of the Kings i'll our
circle Of acquaintance have taken
up the study OF medicine and we
therefore suggest that every man,
woman and child suffering from
this dreadful disease send fifty
cents to DR.. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla, for a
bottle of "Marvelo " There is
but one cure for the Kings Evil
for Scrofula and that one
cure is Marvelo. This marvel

Says the British Medical Journal: "As
a considerable majority Of the patients
who have lately consulted me for nasal
trouble have complained that the sensa-
tion of obstruction has either commenced
or considerably increased since they have
taken to the bicy Gle, the question arises:
Are we to place this otherwise healthy
and almost necessary mode Of locomo-
ton among the causes Of nasal mischief?
1t is quite conceivable that the quick
rush through the air, inhaling large
quantities OF dust on the country roads,
and all sorts and conditions OF dirt ON
the London ones might cause consider
able irritation to the nasal mucous mem
brane.'

Long Distance Transmission.

An experiment in high voltage long,
distance electric power TRANSMISSION
was recently made at Ogden, Utah, to
ascertain the limits within which high
voltage currents might be used COM
mercially. The experiment consisted in
connecting the Salt Lake ends of the
transmission lines together and divid-
ing the transformers at Ogden, normal
ly used for raising the pressure of the
current for transmission, into step up
for the outgoing and step-down for
the incoming. This made a complete
transmission circuit of seventy-three
miles over three No. / B. & S. copper
wires. One thousand horsepower was
transmitted in this way, the voltage be-
ing at times as high as 10000. The
load was composed of three water tank
resistances at the Ogden power-house
BY careful and repeated experiments
with watt meters at both ends, it was
shown that this power was transmitted
with the loss Of only 9 per cent, in
cluding per cent. loss in the two sets
of transformers. The inductant drop
was practically nil, the capacity of the
line being sufficient to compensate for
reactance loss. Using currents at
about 24,OOO volts, 500 horsepower in
synchronous motors and lights was op-
Grated at Salt Lake City for two days,
under most severe climatic conditions,
Including a thunderstorm which contin-
ued all one night, causing the light
ming arresters to discharge repeatedly.
The motors operated during this time
without failure, and the lights burned
without fiickering.

Captain Fisher of the Gamecock had
a trying experience Friday night. Even
before he signaled US many of the pas
sengers, most from Missouri and KAN
sas, who had never seen the ocean,
came to him with revolvers and threat
ened to shoot him if he did not put
back to port. Fisher kept his head,
and coolly told them to go ahead, and
he would make them safe. But many
of them bothered him all night"
!. The Gamecock and Staghound are
owned by the Yukon Transportation
and Navigation Company of San Fran
CISCO and cost about $40, 900 each. The
boats are twins, and are 173 feet in
length, thirty-six and one-half feet
beam, and seven feet depth Of hold.
They were completed in Portland about
two weeks ago.
The Elihu Thompson was to have re-
ceived S15, 900 for towing the boats to
ST. Michael. The steamers will have
to be beached and repaired.

Less Than Four Miles Separate the

ON BOARD THE ASSOCIATED
PRESS BOAT DANDY, OFF JUR-
aqua, Saturday, 8 p m. (via Kings
ton, Jamaica, Sunday, June Goth, $3.50
p. m.)-(Copyrighted. 1898, by the Asso-
ciated ress.)-The troops Of the United
States and Spain are almost face to
face, and less than four miles apart.
Tonight the picket lines at certain
points are within hailing distance of the
enemy. 1t seems certain that the bat
tie of Santiago must come within a.
week
The troops are all ashore here and at
Baiquiri, with. the exception of few
scattered companies that have gone
forward. The supplies are sufficient to
enable the army to sustain week s
campaign at both landing points, and il
is believed the required supplies will
all be ashore by Tuesday. June 2Sth.
General Shafter said to a eofrespon-
dent of the Associated Press to-day:
II am well satisfied with the progress
that is being made. The 1isembarka-
ton is slow, but Considering the limited
facilities and exposed nature of the
landing places, the men have done well.
I only await thes landing OF sufficient
supplies to begin the march on Santi-

SIMPSONS FLEET.
Still Lies Patiently in Front of

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June
%, by the Associated Press Dispatch
boat to Kingston (Jamaica), June g.
p. m. Copyright, 1898 by the Asso-
ciated Press While the army ad
vances, the main portion of the fleet
lies patiently in front of Morro Castle,
awaiting its opportunity.
Before this time next week the fate
of Santiago and Admiral Cervera should
be decided. BY that time. it is be-
lieved, the Spanish troops will have
been forced back upon the city and
defeated in a decisive engagement.
simultaneously the forts at the mouth
of the harbor should be captured, un-
der cover of a naval bombardment.
Three things will then be left to
Cervera-to surrender with his ships,
to surrender after destroying his ships.
or to make dash out to sure destruc-
ton. He may forestall fate by maxi
ing an attempt to get out of the har-
Dor before the army accepts its end.
The first Spanish ship to appear off
Moro Castle will be sunk within
fifteen minutes. Nothing in Admiral
Cervera's fleet could survive the con-
centrated fire of all the battleships in
the navy and three of the best cruisers.
The general opinion among naval ex-
'perts is that the town of Santiago will
be burned by the Spaniards before they
surrender: that Admiral Cervera will
destroy his ships, and that he will then
submit to the enemy. If this supposi-
ton is correct, the whole work should
be accomplished in a week. 1t is
hardly likely that the army can effect
its purpose without considerable loss,
although it's superiority in numbers,
caliber and generalship insures an ulti-
mate sweeping victory.
There is every possibility that the
Spanish troops may surrender inde-
pendently of Admiral Cervera. If this
Spanish Admiral should insist on thus
prolonging the agony, he would be
subjected to a fire from his own forts
and the army siege guns. If these
proved ineffective, the harbor mouth
would be dragged, the mines removed,
Admiral SIMPSONS ships enter, and
Admiral Cervera would be finished off.

ASTORIA (Or), June 26.-At $3.50
this morning the steamer Elihu
Thompson, which left here Friday
evening, towing the two Yukon River
steamers Gamecock and Staghound,
bound for ST. Michael, put back into
the Columbia River with the tows al
most complete wrecks. The circum-
stances as related by Chief Engineer
Kelley of the Thompson are as follows:
We left the Columbia Friday even
ing with fair weather and a fair sea.
AT 10 o'clock Friday night the Game
cock displayed red light, as also did
the Staghound, which was the precon-
certed signal of danger. The Thomp-
son slowed down and waited for day
break. AT break Of day the two came
UP, and Captain Garlick told me to
take the small boats and see what was
the trouble. With the second mate
and three men of our crew / put out
for the Gamecock On approaching her
i saw that she was in a bad condition,
the oakum streaming from her seams.
/ asked Captain Fisher what was the
trouble, and was informed that when
they struck the first swell off the Col
umbia the passengers We're frightened
beyond reason, and the boat COM
menced to work badly
i went on the Staghound and found
affairs worse. The passengers and
some of the crew We're imploring me to
take them off. | told them to keep
quiet, as there was no immediate dan
ger. The passengers We're running
about the decks like demented persons,
with their life preservers on and their
possessions piled up in promiscuous
heaps l went back to the Thompson,
and securing more boats returned to
the wrecks.
AT this time we were about thirty
miles at sea. Reaching the Gamecock,
We commenced transferring passengers
and crew. Captain Fisher and two
or three men refused to leave their
boat He had a crew of thirty men
and fourteen passengers. The Stag
hound, in charge of Captain Lane, had
about the same number of people
aboard, and a few men stood by him,
also refusing to leave the boat The
others behaved well, but the passen-
gers on both boats We're like crazy peo-
pie.
About this time the pilot schooner
San Jose came up and took the Game
cock in tow, while / took care of the
