New York, April 30.-The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The markets here were extremely idle and dull today ostensibly on dear money but really because of the persistent pressure, realizing sales and the general disinclina- tion to buy. Funds relapsed fractionally; Americans opened slightly above parity but there was absolute stagnation in them until 8 o'clock when a futile attempt was made to improve prices.

OVERTURNED HIS BOAT.
Andrew Hansen Saves His Life but
Loses His Produce.

Andrew Hansen, a Gray's river
rancher. had rough experience on the
river of Booths cannery yesterday.
Hs was on his way to this city in a
fishing boat with load Of farm pro-
ducts and when just of the cannery
a squall struck him. The boat capsized
but Hansen managed to cling to the
upturned craft. no easy task, since the
boat lightened by Its load having gone
to the bottom Of the river. was pitched
and tossed about by the waves in a
terrible manner. Fortunately some
boatn,en on shore witnessed the acci-
dent and manning a boat went to Han
sens rescue. They took the man off
in safety and towed his boat to shore.
Beyond a severe chill. due to his wet
ting, Hansen was none the worse for
the accident In health but was injured
in pocket considerably by the loss of
his produce.

THE LATEST WAR NEWS

The latest war news is eagerly
sought after. To some it brings hap
piness, as they read of valiant deeds
accomplished, while to others, the
same message brings sorrow, when
they note the death or capture Of their
loved ones. There is also much sor-
row and suffering throughout our own
country by those who have been cap
tured by that greatest enemy-Dys-
pepsia. For this, however, there is a
remedy and that is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which also cures indi-
gestion, constipation, biliousness, ner-
vousness and insomnia, and as a pre-
ventative for malaria, fever and ague
it is unequalled. 1t has record Of
fifty years of cures to back 1t up and
a trial will convince you that your case
is not incurable, as you will find after
taking a few doses your stomach will
be strengthened.

AGREED UPON A VERDICT.
Jury in Pentilia Damage Suit Reached
Decision Early This Morning.

At 2.15 this morning the jury in the
case Of John Pentilla against the Clat-
sop Mill Company arrived at verdict
aud delivered 1t under seal to Deputy
Sheriff Trullinger who was in charge
as acting bailiff. The jury was out
exactly four and one half hours.
The action OF the jurors in determ-
lining the amount of damages, IL any,
will not be made public until Monday
next. as Judge Mcbride left this morn
ing for st. Helens to hold court and
cannot return before that time.
The suit was brought to recover
damages sustained by Pentilla through
the loss Of his right arm while at work
at the mill in January. The accident
occurred through the breaking of the
cutoff saw which Pentilla was operat-
ing at the time. Pentilla alleged that
the saw was defective and attributed
the accident to this cause. The de-
PENDANTS, on the other hand, contend
ed that the saw was broken by large
timber being forced against it and that
Pentilla, had he not been careless,
would not have been injured,
The case continued for several days,
nearly the entire time yesterday be-
ing taken up by the attorneys in their
arguments TO the jury.
1t is exceedingly doubtful that Pen
tilla will recover the entire amount
prayed for-$2O,OOO, but that the jur-
ors felt that he was entitled to some
thing seems a reasonable conclusion in
view of the length Of time occupied
in their deliberations before an ar
rangement was reached.

LooPHoLEs OF THE LAW.
Thomas Kelly Thief, Finds One to
Escape Through.

The ''loopholes OF the law" are not
myths They exist, II you only know
how to find them. Thomas Kelly
found one yesterday or he would today
be commencing a term OF deserved
Imprisonment. The peculiar thing
about 1t is that Kelly's 'lOophole Of
the law seems to have been one Of
the made to order brand.
On Thursday afternoon Thomas
Kelly and ]. II. Van Bibber arrived
on the steamer from Stella. Kelly
travelled tight" but Van Bibber had
chest Of tools of considerable value,
probably $780, According to Van Bib
ber's story he fell in" with Kelly
on the boat and they agreed to stop
together when they got to Astoria.
Upon the arrival OF the steamer Van
Blbber left his tool chest In the ware
house on the dock and he and Kelly
went up town together.
Kelly soon contrived TO lose his new
found friend and hurrying back to
the dock, claimed Van Bibber's tool
chest, had II hauled up town and sold
II to q second hand dealer for $40.
Sometime after becoming separated
from Kelly, Van Blbber concluded to
have his tool chest brought up town
and went to the, wharf after 1t only
to find II gone. From the description
of the man who had claimed the chest
and taken It away, Van Bibber cas-
lily recognized Kelly as the thief and
he hurried away to the police. In
less than twenty minutes after the
robbery was reported, the police had
Kelly in custody, He was found in a
saloon, where he was rapidly eXchang-
ing his ill-gotten gains for whiskey,
In fact he had managed to spend
some s. In the brief time he had been
In funds,
New comes the "loophole." Van
Bibber recovered his tool chest, which
the secondhand dealer readily sur
rendered when he found 1t had been
stolen, Later the secondhand dealer
received from some of Kelly's friends
the $40 he had given the thief for the
chest, Then both the secondhand
dealer and Van Blbber announced that
they did not want to prosecute Kelly
and the latter, admitting the theft
asked to be released from custody he
cause the prosecuting witnesses for the
state did not want to testify against
him
Kelly was released yesterday after
