HOTELS WILL NOT
CASH THE CHECKS
Unless Accompanied by Hotel Cred
it Letters.

Unless Accompanied by Hotel Cred
it Letters.
Cleveland, o., July 16.-No checks
will be cashed by 10 Ohio hotels aft
er Sept. 1, unless presented with ho-
tel credit letter issued by the National
Hotel Keepers Protective Association.
Edgar A. Walz, president of the as
ISOLATION, is in Cleveland and has plac-
ed frame notices in all the prin-
cipal hotels to that effect. Mr.
Walz said to-day that wholesale houses
do not seem to understand that hotel
cashiers cannot distinguish a fradu-
lent signature from the genuine, and
this combination of hotels is for the
purpose of forcing firms to buy credit
letters for their travelling statesmen.
1t is believed that the plan will eff
fectually protect the hotel men against
loss. All the hotels in Indiana, Mich
igan, and Ohio are in the agreement,
and it is expected ultimately to in
clude all hotels in the United States.

of the culvert and killed. The men
hastened to the point where the cul-
vert empties and waited for the bodies
to reappear. One was unconscious
when he floated out from the mouth

POpocatpetI.
Mexico City, July 16.-The formal
transfer of the Volcano Popocatpetl to
New York capitalists will be completed
next week. The sale is practically eff

Capt. Holt of New York, who has
engineered the deal, is now working
on plans for special loading apparatus
to be established at Vera Cruz to save
wharfage charges.
The Interoceanic Railroad will take

TO GET ARTEsIAN WATER

Columbus VIII Sink n Well in the

Columbus, Ga, July 16.-The city of
Columbus has about decided to sink
an artesian we'll in the extreme south
ern part of the city. Several artesan
water experts have been here recently,
but none of them made any definite
proposition to the city, guaranteeing
water, although they expressed the
opinion that water could be obtained.
Under these circumstances the city has
practically decided to employ an eX-

treated by others without benefit, 1
will show you just what mistakes have

ment, skillfully administered, will eff

For more than twenty years 1 have
treated none but chronic cases. I have
studied them thoroughly, and my wide
experience enables me to understand
perfectly any case, no matter how
complicated. My great success has
been largely due to the fact that 1 can
correctly diagnose any case and
hence my treatment is intel
ligently directed and accomplishes
good results from the begin
ming. Many cases have been pre-
scented to me which have been declared
incurable by other doctors who lacked
the expert knowledge necessary TO I'M
derstand them. and hence all OF their
treatment was entirely experimental.
There is positively no experimenting
about my treatment. for I know just
what it has accomplished in thousands
of cases.

Torpedo Works Destroyed.

St. Petersburg, July 5.-As a result
of the receipt of news of a fire which
took place at the torpedo works at
Cronstadt last night, this city was to-
night filled with the widest rumors,
including one to the effect that the
Peterhof Palace had been blown up.
The damage at Cronstadt was con-
fined to the torpedo mechanism shops,
which were almost wholly destroyed,
together with 20 Whitehead torpedoes.
Five of the torpedoes had war heads
attached and they exploded, which
added to the fire and the excitement.
A considerable quantity of coal stored
in the works was also burned. An
alarm was given in time to prevent loss
of life and more serious loss of proper
ty.
The authorities here do not attach
serious importance to the accident,
and say that the works will soon be
able to resume at full time.

Carroll, of Texas, for vice president.
The platform was adopted without ar
gument after a long deadlock in the
resolutions committee. It was des-
cribed by 1. II. Amos, of Oregon, secre-
tary of the committee, as the broadest
platform ever placed before the people
by the party.
In addition to the planks on the
liquor question, 1t declares the party
to be in favor of international arbitra-

tai and moral qualification, uniform
laws for the country and dependencies,

NEW HOPE FOR PEACE.
Diplomacy May Soon Enter Into the Far
Eastern Struggle.

Washington, July 81 While the
officials here are satisfied from their
private advices that the recent visit of
King Edward to his nephew, Emperor
William, was not brought about by a
purpose to initiate movement toward
the restoration of peace between Russia
and Japan, there is reason to believe
that some very careful and discreet in
quiries as to the opportunities of some
such overtures at this time have ema-
mated from Washington. It may be
stated that the result has been to dis
close the fact that neither of the bellig-
erents was yet in the humor to sue for
peace, nor even to entertain overtures
from any third power on that subject.
The state department will continue
to maintain the friendly position it has

PESTS DESTROY ALFALFA.
Great Damage Done In Morrow County
by drasshoppers

Heppner-Grasshoppers by the mil
lion are appearing in some localities in
Morrow county. They have settled in
great numbers in the Sand Hollow
country, a farming district about ten
miles northeast of Heppner, where they
are doing considerable damage. They
are doing the most damage to alfalfa
and the lay crop, and in some places
are taking gardens.
The first crop of alfalfa, which was
immense, has practically all been
saved, but it is feared that very little
of the second crop can be saved, owing
to the .ravages of the millions of these
insects that have been congregating in
the alfalfa fields. At Hynd Bros, a
big ra1ch in Sand Hollow, they are SO
thick in the alfalfa that in the evening
after the insects go to roost on the
heads of the alfalfa plants they can be
scooped up by the gallon by taking a
coal oil can or bucket and striking
through the grass. It is only the work
of short time to fill gunny sack.
Some of them caught in this way are
being fed to the hogs.
Along Willow creek, where there are
many alfalfa fields, the grasshoppers
are numerous and doing considerable
damage in some places they are attack
ing wheat fields but are not doing much
damage, owing to the fact that the
grain is nearing maturity and is getting
hard. However, thsy are stripping the
green leaves from the stalks. III the
wheat belt they have not appeared in
sufficient numbers to cause any alarm
and the damage to the wheat crop will
be of little consequence.

Prospectors Swarming to Southern Ore

Grants Pass-Numbers of prospectors
are outfitting at Grants Pass daily and
starting for the mines on Thompson
creek and all through the Sucker creek
country. They are coming from differ
ent points as far away as Idaho and
Southern California.
The actual digging of gold at the
Briggs claim, on Thompson creek, has
stopped for the present, as they are
now engaged in bringing ditch from
the headwaters of Thompson creek to
the mine for the purpose of supplying
water. All of the dirt moved will be
sluiced or puddIed in order to get all
the values they carry.
Already townsitte has been sted,
and it is reported that there are now
SO tents up and prospectors with pack
animals are arriving daily. Another
strike of a large body of rich ore has
been reported near the Briggs find.

REPORT OF KURoPATKlN.
He Says the Force of the Enemy Was
Much the Stronger,

He Says the Force of the Enemy Was
Much the Stronger.
st. Petersburg, June 3O.-The en-
peror has received the following dis
patch from General Kuropatkin, dated
Liao Yang:
'The Japanese attacked our forces
occupying Mo Tien, Fen Shut and Ta
Passes. Our infantry and cavalry re-
treated persuaded that the advancing
divisions of the Japanese army which
were operating against each of the
three passes were stronger than our de-
tachments. In the attack on Ia Pass,
the Japanese guards, besides other
regiments, participated. The Japanese
made frontal and flank attack in con-
siderable force on both sides of this po.
sition. The Japanese troops occupied
Fen Shut and Mo Tien Passes.
"Our forces, which retreated from
Fen Shut Pass, were attacked by small
detachments of Japanese. They were,
however, easily repulsed.
"After pushing back our advance
guard from Vandiapudze, on the Stu
yen Haicheng road, to Ia Pass, the
japanese continued their avdance
against our position in a defile. For
come time the attack of the Japanese
infantry brigade was repelled. Three
battallons were engaged in the frontal
attack. But being menaced by other
troops engaged in fanking movement,
our forces retreated.
'Reconnoitering parties report that
the portion OF the southern army is
moving northeastward, with the inten-
ton Of joining General Kuroki's forces.
"All ct the reports of the last few days
state that the forces of Japanese ar
rayed against our Manchurian army
consists of eight or nine infantry di-
visions and several brigades of re-
serves, which also occupy positions in
the fighting line.''
The dispatch from General Kuropat-
kin, as published in special edition
of the Official Messenger, informed St.
Petersburgers that General Kuroki's
army had crossed the three passes of
the Fen Shut mountains and was ad-
vancing in strong columns from Siuyen
on Haicheng, and from Feng Wang
Cheng on Lao Yang, while portions of
General Oku's army were moving
northeastward along mountain paths
to strengthen the attack on Mai Cheng.
The same telegram reported a cavalry
engagement at Senu Chine, indicating
that the Japanese retreat southwark
was only feint. General Oku has
again assumed the Offensive, and is sup
porting General Kuroki.

Lay Dust With Oil.

Oregon City-Experiments that have
been made on Main street with crude
oil for keeping down the dust have met
with success, so claim the city ofic-
ials, and it is very likely that the oil
will be used in the future by the city
in solving the problem of fighting dust.
The first test was failure for the rea-
son that the oil was carried on the
shoes of pedestrians into the stores of
the merchants. After two days the oil
had dried and there is little or no dust
in front of the stores where the oil was
used.
