Caution!

This is not gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase for 75c the only remedy universal
ly known and remedy that has had
the largest sale of any medicine in the
world since 1868 for the cure and treat
ment of Consumption and Throat and
Lung trouble without losing its great
popularity all these years, you will be
thankful we called your attention to
Boschee's German Syrup. There are so
many ordinary cough remedies made by
druggists and others that are cheap and
good for light colds perhaps, but for Sc
we're Coughs, Bronchitis, Croup-and
especially for Consumption, where there
is difficult expectoration and coughing
during the nights and mornings, there
is nothing like German Syrup. Sold by
all druggists in the civilized world. 6.

SOUTH AFRICA.
Probability of Another War There
Rather Remote.

Rather Remote.
Pretoria, June 23.-It is safe to say
that the eyes OF the whole civilized
world are now fastened upon the newly
acquired provinces of King Edward in
South Africa.
By a peculiarly happy and wise for
tuitousness the war has been brought to
close in such a manner that peace
with honor was assured both of the gall
liant combatants. But what is to come
after the war?
One thing is certain, that notwith-
standing the disgruntlement of certain
element at the Cape the rule OF the
British will be upheld most vigorously,
and whatever civil liberty is acceded to
the Beers there will be no chance given
the malcontents to stir up to such a
pitch as to bring about another war.
The bodies of the Boer and Britisher
sleep side by side ON the scorching veldt.
The returning Boer who seeks his farm
will find all the privileges he en-
joyed before he left it, with some old
faces missing, while the enterprising
Uitlander, who has been waiting for the
opportunity afforded by new and
emancipated country, will be there
ready to enjoy the new and improved
conditions which will fall to the lot OF
his class. This place is already full OF
Beers, who are making it a general rem
devious before starting to reclaim their
homes on the veldt.

London, June 24.-Signs OF acute
alarm are freely manifested by officials
and attaches at the Mansion House.
1t is generally believed that the king
will not rally from the shock of the
operation. His age and enfeebled con-
dition are against him. The king is
still lying asleep, but his aspect is far
from reassuring. His pulse is feeble
There are signs of a collapse. Death
may come at any hour. The royal FAM
lily anxiously awaits tidings in near
by room in the palace.
An official at the Mansion House has
just announced that the king is in a
very critical condition and may die
within forty-eight hours. The physi-
clans discovered large and dangerous
abcess.
George Frederick, the Prince OF
Wales, is at his royal fathers bedside
He will become king of England in the
event of his fathers death.
1t is'probable he will take the title

WiLkESBARRE RIOT.
Women and Strikers Attack Four
Galleries.


Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 23.-Led by
their wives, 200 strikers attacked the
four collieries owned by the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company at Shenan-
doah
For four hours they created reign
terror. Pick handles and clubs We're
used in assaulting the men inside the
stockade. Several of the coal, and iron
police were seriously injured and seven
non-union miners are expected to die.
When the deputies at the colliery of
the four that is surrounded by stock
AIDE saw the mob advancing they blew
three blasts to give warning to the
specials in the unprotected collieries to
rush to the one mine property that was
protected. The warning came too late.
Before the coal and iron police could
get behind the stockade the savage mob
was on them. Rushing to the houses
near the colliery where the specials
were hiding, the strikers seized the ter
rifed men and started to club. them over
the head with pick handles. Stones
were also used.
The men in the protected colliery
rushed to the assistance OF the other
men and they in turn were attacked by
the strikers.
One OF the deputies read the riot act
to the crowd and it dispersed. No
property was destroyed and no shots
were fired.

PROTECT OYSTERS.
Question is Puzzling Puget Sound
Dealers.

Seattle, June 24-"What is to be
done to protect the oyster industry of
Puget Sound?' is the question that is
puzzling the oyster dealers nowadays.
Although there are four months in the
year, May, June, July and August, in
which oysters are spawning they are
fshed out during this season as if such
were not the case. Fish and game are
protected by stringent laws during the
season they are reproducing their
species but no regulation whatever il
made in this state to prevent the de-
struction OF the oyster. In the eastern
states the fishing of oysters is restricted
during this season. Eastern people
know that oysters are of poor quality
during the four months named and
there is no demand for them Even in
Seattle the sale has fallen off 25 per
cent, but the restaurants continue to
demand supply, stating that their pa
irons are unwilling to dispense with the
appetizing bivalve even at this time OF
year, when its quality is inferior.

NOT THIS SESSION.
No Reciprocity Treaty Probable just
Now With Cuba.

NOW WIN CuDa.
Washington, June 24.-It has been
determined that no reciprocity treaty
with Cuba can be submitted at the
present session OF congress. 1t was at
first planned that in the event OF the
failure OF the administration managers
in the senate to secure favorable action
on the Cuban sugar bill, treaty
would be drafted at once. This was on
the understanding that Senior Quesada,
the Cuban minister here, had full
power and that treaty could be drawn
in Washington entirely.
1t is stated now, however, that this
cannot be done and that any draft of a
treaty must 60 to Havana and be re-
turned before it can be submitted to
the senate. This, OF course, cannot be
done in the short time intervening be-
fore adjournment, if the estimates of
the leaders that congress will adjourn
by July are correct.
No condence is felt in administration
circles as to the ability of the senate
managers to secure the ratification of a
tretay, even if one is drawn, and while
the president may feel called upon to
put the matter to a test, it will be
rather with the idea of demonstrating
his own purpose to do everything posi-
BILE for Cuba than in any expectation
that two-thirds vote for ratification
could be received.

HEAVY DAMAGE.
Ten Blocks on the East Side Water
Front Totally Destroyed. and
Two Bents ola Bridge Collapsed.
Free Swimming Baths Rescued
by a Steamer.

Portland, Or, June pa disastrous
fire has swept ten blocks of the east
side water front, caused a damage esti-
mated at 100000.
The blaze started in Wolff 4 Zwick-
er's iron works at IL p. M, when the
alarm of fire was turned in the flames
were already breaking through the
frame structure and a great mass OF
smoke was pouring skyward. Before
the fire department reached the scene
the confagration had burst in every
direction and was sweeping through the
infammable material at rapid rate.
Hogue's sawmill, south of the iron
works, was next attacked, and the Mad
ison street bridge caught. Within two
blocks TO the fire are the oil tanks OF
the Standard Oil Company, and to pre-
vent the spread of the flames to this
point, the fire department directed its
greatest efforts. The Office of the COM
pany was Quilted.
Leaping from warehouse to ware
house, and from sawmill to shipyard,
the fire kept spreading southwark. The
Phoenix Iron Works were wompletley
Quilted. The Johnston Shipyard, with
several new boats and recently COM
pleted lumber schooner, were completely
destroyed
The yard OF the East Side Lumber
Company, Hicks machine shops, the
Star Milling Company, the Portland
City & Oregon carsheds, a new hotel,
were wiped out by the course OF the
flames. The Madison street bridge, in
spite OF the efforts of the force to save
it, blazed away at the east side APP
proach until two bents, weakened by
the flames, fell in.
The steamer Albany dashed up to the
blazing wharf near the bridge and
rescued the newly completed free SWIM
ming baths from destruction by towing
them away to the west side. The fire
lighted up the whole city by its glare
and thousands OF citizens viewed the
flames from vantage points on the river.
The lumber yards, shipyards, wharfs
and mills, sent bursts of fire hundreds
of feet into the air, while a dense col
umn of smoke assembled, making the
sight one of terror and grandeur.

HOUSES WASHED AWAY.
Floods Add to the Desolation oT
Martinique.

Fort de France, Island of Martini
que, June 2l.-The river which flows
by Basse pointe has risen suddenly four
times since Wednesday and as result
80 houses have been carried out to sea.
The first flood was signalized by the
appearance in the valley of torrent OF
muddy water 40 metres wide and five
high. which advanced with frightful
rapidity.
During all of the afternoon clouds of
smoke issued from the crater at the
head of the river Falaise and the river
itself has been rushing downward with
such violence that its banks have been
carried away. The river now has taken
a new course. One of the chasms rising
from the volcanic eruption, which rem
dered access to the head of the river
impossible, is now filled up with vol
canic matter and it is possible to cross
the chasm on the newly thrown up ma
terial.

such reserves as are thought to be best
for trade interests.
can arrangement of that kind can
be effected that will give the United
States as broad road into the markets

strong allies of two nations that will re-
present our interests ON that side Of the

Mr.. Svenson's letter encloses that
handed to him by Capt. Christmas, in
which the latter states that Nels Gron

Gron falsitied it and denies number OF

he never tried to impress Minister Her

connection with the Use of money. He
