"A Fortified Man.

Missoula, July 26.-The people of Mis-
soula, on account Of the high license
that is charged for the exhibiting of
curosities. have missed one of the best
fakes that is now on the road. Last
evening there arrived in the city a
couple of men with a petrified man.
This man was found in The southern
part Of Illinois during the winter.
where he had been buried near the
banks of a river. He was as natural
as the day he was buried; his lips We're
parted little. showing his teeth, which
were in the natural condition. He was
a young man and in the present condi-
ton weighs 34S pounds. He was five
feet and eight inches tall when alive.
The hands were tied together with a
rope, which also turned to stone. Those
that had the privilege of seeing him
say it was one of the strangest curl
osities that was ever in this part of the
country, and the glowing description
given by the owner of the fake verified
their statement.

A NATIVE BOY RUN OVER
LIFE ALMOST CRUSHED OUT BY A
HORSE.
Jumped From a Car Directly in Front
of a Passing Carrage-Young Lady
Hurt in Nuuanu.

Yesterday afternoon a small native
boy called Keiki was run over by a
carriage in Nuuanu Avenue and may
die. The little fellow was stepped on
several times by the horse and rolled
quite a distance. When taken up blood
was streaming from a bruise and cut
on the side of the head.
The little fellow, who lives in Nuu-
anu valley, had jumped on the car to
steal a ride The driver perceived him
and dashed at him with his whip. Just
as the boy jumped from the car a priv
ate carriage was passing. He landed
under the horses feet. This frightened
the animal and he began to prance.
Several times his hoofs struck the child
and one time a foot seemed planted
squarely on his head. This of course
was not the case, however, or death
would have been instantaneous. This
morning the boy is reported to be in a
very precarious condition. The boy
alone is blamed for the accident.
About the same hour and near the
same place another accident occurred.
While a young lady on a wheel was
passing a tram the driver of the latter
whipped up his horses and one of the
traces snapped. The heavy chain flew
outward and struck the lady For
tunately she was not thrown from her
wheel and escaped with bruises only.

Only last week we examined the beer
brewed by the Capital Brewing Com
pany of Olympia, Wash. and it is a
perfect illustration of the quality of
beer which we are always glad to COM
mend, for the analysis showed it to be
entirely free from any trace of any in
furious substance. Such a high grade
of beer is most beneficial in it's use, for
none of the pure malt and hops have
been displaced by harmful ingredients.
Every hygienist will concur with us in
saying that a beer of such superior
excellence is a very wholesome bever-
age. Physicians often have occasion
to prescribe a pure beer for cases of
debilitation, and they can safely order
his beer, made by the Capital Brewing
company.
L. H. Dee has in his keeping the
american Journal of Health and can
DE seen by anyone.
This beer can be had in bottle or on
draught at the HOFFMAN, corner of
Hotel and Nuuanu streets. A large as
sortment of the very best of American
and foreign liquors we are pleased to
sell you and give you value for the
Nnefit of your health.
Yours, L. H. DEE,
Proprietor of HOFFMAN.

The Dewey Sword-Presentation.

Admiral Dewey's reception at Wash
ington Monday was but a repetition Of
the homage accorded him in New
York, and the details therefore possess
but passing intent to those who are
content in the assurance that it was
all his great achievements entitled
him to receive. The speeches made
by Secretary Long and the President,
on presenting the sword awarded the
Admiral by Congress are, however,
given. The Secretary spoke as fol-
lows:
"It is my good fortune, under the
te-ms of the enactment of Congress, to
have the honor of presenting to you
this beautiful sword II, during the
many coming years which / trust will
be yours of useful service to your
country, it shall remain sheathed in
peace, as God grant 1t may, that fact
will perhaps be due more than to any
thing else to the thoroughness with
which you have already done its work.
L congratulate you on your return
across the sea in full health OF mind
and body to receive it here; here in
the national capital; here on these
consecrated steps, where Lincoln
stood; here, standing between the
statue OF the first President of the
United States and him who is its liv-
ing President to-day; here in this
beautiful city, adorned with the stat
ues OF its statesmen and heroes, the
number incomplete until your own is
added; here amid this throng of citi-
zens who are only type of the mil
lions and millions more who are all
animated by the same spirit of affec-
tionate and grateful welcome. / can
not doubt that it is one of the proud
est days of your life, and i know it is
one of the happiest in the heart OF
each one of your fellow countrymen
wherever they stand, whether on the
