S D. TAYLOR, Editor and Proprietor

The Str. Klondike lost "a 900
cargo last Saturday evening. She
left this port about dark, towing a
barge loaded with about 40 tons of
merchandise and railroad supplies.
The merchandise was consigned to
G.. H Finrow & Co., of Port Hill.
The railroad supplies belonged to
Foley Bros, Larson & Halvorson
d Co. When a few miles out from
port the barge struck a snag and
was thrown in such a position that
the entire cargo went overheard.
The only articles of importance
possible to save will be a number of
grading cars. The water was about
16 feet deep where the accident
occurred but the river has since
raised several feet.
Mrs. VIM. VanGasken and son,
Pullman, returned on Thursday
from Spokane, where Mrs. Van
Gasken had been to consult a spec
ialst in reference to one of Pull
mans eyes which was injured some
time ago. The oculist stated there
was ever hope for the cure of the
injured organ.
Hon. Otis F. Warren, collec
tor of customs at this port, returned
Tuesday from a trip to Great Falls
where he has been to confer with
Collector Browne on official bus
mess.

to say nothing of their independence,
though they did have some form Of
government, did exercise the func-
tions of civil power, and had done so
for years. The judgment of the nation
is to- day that President Mckinley was
right in refusing them recognition
either as belligerents or as an indie
pendent Government. Yet here is Agon-
eillo frowning and threatening because
the United States Government refuses
to recognize the insurgent bands OF
Aguinaldo as constituting an independ-
ent government over 100000 of peo-
pie, while we possess the chief harbor
and the capital of the archipelago, col
lect the customs dues, exercise police
functions, and are recognized by the
world at large as in possession.
Agoncillo for his dmpertinence ought
to be called down sharply, but to do
even that much would recognize the
very fresh agent as worthy of consid-
GRAFTON. He wants, in fact, very little
more than the condescension of an an
swer to his insulting effusion. He is
much like the fellow who was striving
to provoke receipt of a kick, that he
might have apparent ground for an ac-
ton for assault.

ALL LOOK ALIKE TO HER.
A Hen That Scratches Gravel for
the SparrOws.


The story has been told down town,
and up town, but people hesitate about
believing It. and when it is repeated
they murmur things about fish, and
bear, and Billy Hamilton But it is
true, nevertheless, and they who saw
it are prepared to go before the Legis-
lative investigating Committee and
swear to-itson the head of any Assem-
blyman
Over in the Third Ward-which is
noted for the large number of people
who always speak the truth-and not
mile from the intersection of Sixth and
streets, it is related by good women
who know whereof they speak, that the
other day a broody hen was turned into
the street by her owner to prevent her
from setting" and to compel her to
earn her own living. Deprived of nest
and eggs, the hen still retained her
motherly longings. Noticing on the
highway a group of those pestiferous,
daring, adaptable and defiant fellows,
the English sparrows, the hen made up
to them. Possibly the sparrows first
discovered the inclinations of the hen
AT any rate, it was noted presently
that Mrs Hen was scratching gravel
at a lively rate land -cIucking as if she
had a bakers dozen of chicks at her
heels, while the sparrows were thick
about the motherly fowl, reaping the
reward of her efforts to turn earth
worms, bugs and "sich" out of the
street gutter.
The harder the hen scratched, the
closer the sparrows stuck to her, and
the closer they were the better the
chicken liked it, She clucked and
chartered, and pulled her feathers. and
manifested great pride in her new
found friends, desiring to hover them
evidently, proceeding to which the
sparrows were averse, simply because
they had too good thing on the out
side
However, some of the more venture
some did get close in, and one or more
mounted the hens back for ride, after
the manner of the genuine chick. And
SO the strange assortment worked up
the street, fighting the battle of life
for bread on their level
And this is the tale, as true and vera
cious an account as was ever penned,
that makes downtown people smile and
aver that over in the Third Ward there
are those who respect the truth. and
some who do not. But the Record
Union" can vouch for the exact truth
of the recital. What is it, by the way,
that brazen little robber the pesky
sparrow, will not do if given opportu-
nifty? And since a San Francisco hen
of broody disposition adopted a litter
of kittens. why shall not Sacramento
motherly hens take to sparrows, if they
please?
The record-union., 1899-01-26

and SO it will go on from one to the
other, until everything in the category
of diseases, except, perhaps, smallpox,
will be suggested as the cause.
But, perhaps, not one Of these will sus-
pect that the case is one of lingering la
grippe; q case Of la grippe that has per-
meated the whole system; a case of la
grippe that has poisoned every secretion
of the body and converted them into ir-
ritating discharges. When the mucous
membranes are healthy there is con.
stantly exuding from their surfaces a
clear, soothing, bland fluid called mu-
Gus; but as soon as the mucous mem
branes become affected by la grippe,
even slightly, the mucous secretion be-
comes poisonous and irritating.
Thus it is that the mucus, which is SO
useful in lubricating and protecting
these delicate membranes in health, be-
comes, when changed by the effects of
la grippe, corroding and dangerous
fluid, which frequently eats its way COM
pletely through the tender membrane,
sometimes even destroying adjacent or
gans.
sThere is no remedy in the world that
meets the conditions produced by Ia
grippe better than the remedy Pe-ru-na.
Pe-ru-na strengthens as it renovates,
soothes while 1t stimulates, heals as 1t
expurgates. Pe-ru-na is not purgative,
or cathartic, or sedative, or stimulant,
nor vegetable or mineral poison. 1t
reaches the source of all diseases of the
mucous membranes by its action on the
vasa-motor system of nerves.
Every person who had had la grippe
during the last year should take a course
of Pe-ru-na. No one need expect per-
feet recovery unless they do so. The
grippe has produced catarrhal infam-
nation of the whole mucous membrane.
and good health is impossible until these
are restored to a normal condition. This
Pe-ru-na will do. A great many reme-
dies have been suggested for this con-
dition from time to time, but Pe-ru-na
appears to be the only remedy that has
any substantial value in these cases.
It has stood the test of forty years. ex-
perience and still occupies the unique
position Of being the leading (if not the
only specific remedy for the after.
effects Of Ia grippe.

AFTER-EFFECTS OF La GRIPPE.
Haggard Weakness, Shrunken PaI|or, Blood
less Dependency.
A SPECIFIC RESTORATIVE THAT HAS STOOD The TEST
OF Time.

Without raising the discussion as to
whether la grippe is produced by spe-
cific microbe or not, at least this much
is certain and admitted by all, that it
will produce chronic catarrh if not
promptly and properly cured. It leaves
a person haggard, weak, sallow, fraz-
zled-out, mucous membranes all con-
gested, appetite changeable, digestion
capricious, and just about empties life
of all meaning or desirability.
The specific cause for la grippe may
be microbe; no doubt it is. But the
effects of la grippe need no discussion.
People understand that themselves. Elk
perience may be q hard and bitter
teacher, but the lessons learned in this
school are to the point, and accurate.
There is no other disease so many
sided in its ill-effects, so insidious in its
approach, SO tenacious in its hold upon
the system, as Ia grippe. Once there, it
stays until 1t is cured. La grippe is one
of the ills that time will not cure. The
after-effects OF Ia grippe do not locate in
any particular organ. It amounts to a
general irritability of the mucous MEM
branes Of the whole body--a flabbiness
and paleness Of the mucous membrane.
Sometimes there is an over-amount Of
thin, watery mucous secreted, and at
other times there is dryness of the
mucous surfaces.
Look into the throat and there is an ir-
regular, patched appearance of the throat
with enlarged papillm, the tongue is coat
ed, eyes little red and gummy, at times
the hearing is affected, appetite is irreg-
ular, liver sluggish, bowels constipated
and at times inclined to diarrhea, kid
neys congested, producing weakness and
pain in the back, urinary organs slightly
affected; in case of females, bearing
down pains, irregularities, mucous dis
charges of more or less abundance, and
in all cases, male or female, hstless in
ability for business or study-a good
for-nothing, helpless, lazy, stupid feel
ing.
Such a condition as this is not likely
to be diagnosed as la grippe. One doc
tor will call it dyspepsia; another will
call it nervous prostration; another will
call it biliousness; another will call it
liver complaint; another will say that
the blood is too thick or out of order;

Agoncillo, the agent of Aguinaldo in

He has addressed a second communi-

1t does not recognize him. He assumes
the right to raise an objection to shin
ment of supplies to our forces in the
Philippines. He dares to threaten us

Senator Frye is right, eminently

the attitude Of the opposition in the

From the present outlook it would
seem that a great deal of money and
time have been wasted in chasing phan-
tom rumors, in this matter of the Sena-
torial scandal investigation. The
original purpose of the inquisition APP
pears to have broadened into the pur-
suit of every JOSH they say" and
suspicion" that imaginative newspa-
per men, gossiping politicians, and stu
pid fellows, could devise or blunder in
to. The investigation has served one
good purpose. at least, in making plain
the truth that there are always two
sides to every political story; that there
is disposition, cultivated most largely
by the sensational press, to accept any
sort Of charge or rumor as established
truth until the second party can clear
himself. In other words, the old time,
merciful and just presumption of in
nocence, and the rule that the propon-
ent must make his case good, seem to
have been swept aside. 1t is all-suf1i-
Gent nowadays to prefer charge
against a public man and then stand
aside and say to the victim, now
then, prove that you are guiltless.''

The box office of the Clunie Opera

the title role as the Swede, with his
strange dialect, dry humor, caustic wit
and impulsive courage. The comedy
has been seen here once before, some
two years ago, and did a fine business.
The recent San Francisco engagement
has been a very long and successful
one. "YonY onson" is one of those char
acter plays that fixes public attention
on the playwright and gives the actor
of the title role a, definite status which
thereafter clings to him. There are
certain plays ALWAYS associated in the
mind with certain players, and the
same holds good as to authorship. For
tunately for both branches of the pro-
fession, the amusement public instincr-
lively accord the author and actor the
full measure of the greatest success
attained at any particular time and in
any particular piece. In lyon Yonson'
Hendricks carries the responsibility Of
an actor He has acquitted himself
well, if all accounts are to be believed.
In the Americanized Swede he has
given to the stage character SO droll
and so unique as to command attention.
Its success has been as great as that
of any other dialect comedy. Special
scenery accompanies the troupe, and a
fine male quartet is strong feature.
