Among the papers of the late Anton
Beidl has been found the original proof
print of the orchestra score of Tann
hwnm. prepared for the Paris grand
apera, saya the London News. Seidl
was one of Wagner's conductors, and
it appears that this volume was pre
sented to him by the composer as a
mark of respect. It is of considerable
value, for almost every page contains
pencil notes, marks of expression, and
so forth, in the Meister's own hand,
while, as the London Wagner Society
will doubtless be chocked to hear in the
"Greeting" of Elizabeth to the Halls
of Song, there is a rather long "cut."
The Bacchanale in the first act,written
expressly for Paris, is here in print;
but it is evidently a proof, and the
Meister's alterations are numerous;
while in the Song Tournament soene is
a long interpolation foi Biterolf. It is
not quite certain what will bo done
with this interesting relic, but it will
probably be sold for the benefit of the
widow.

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
Prom Mrs. Bank to Mrs. Pinkham.
The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. M. Rank, No. 2,354
East Susquehanna Aye., Philadelphia,
Pa., is a remarkable statement of re
lief from utter discouragement. She
Bays:
" I never can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
" Some years ago I had womb trouble
and doctored for a long time, not see-
Ing any improvement. At times I
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, I felt something
terrible creeping over me, I knew not
what, but kept getting worse. I can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. I was so depressed in spirits
that I did not wish to live, although I
had everything to live for. Had hys
teria, was very nervous; could not
Bleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
" Indeed, I thought I would lose my
mind. No one knows what I endured.
" 1 continued this way until the last
of February, when I saw in a paper a
testimonial of a lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta
ble Compound. I determined to try it,
and felt better after the first dose. ■ I
continued taking it, and to-day am
well woman, and can say from my
heart, 'Thank God for such a medi
cine.'" - ;.-.-; •. : ■■■;■■• ;- - -

MARIA TERESA SAVED
Hobson Succeeds in Floating
the Cruiser.
TOWED TO GUANTANAMO BAY
tlepalrera of the Vulcsn Are Putting
th* Ship in Condition for
''Her Trip North.
Playa del Este. Gnantanamo bay,
Cuba, Sept. 27.—The wrecking com
pany engaged under Lieutenant Hob
eon in the work of saving the wrecked
Spanish warships, has succeeded in
floating the cruiser Infanta Maria Te
resa. The cruiser, after being got
afioat, was taken in tow by the Poto
mac, and convoyed by the cruiser New
York, the Scorpion and the Alvarado,
pioceeded to Guantananio bay, where
she arrived last night.
The successful issue of the attempt
to float her was greeted with the blow
ing of whistles, the fire of national sa
lutes and by cheers in which the Cu
bans joined, disturbing the noon
siesta.
Off Siboney, the barometer and the
wind indicated the approach of a hur
ricane, and the towing power was in
creased.
The Newark, under Captain Good
rich, rendered valuable assistance in
the work of saving the Maria Teresa.
The cruiser is being pnt in condi
tion for the hei trip north by the re
pair-ship Vulcan.
THE COMAL'S CARGO.
Spanish Authorities Will Allow It to
Be Landed at Matanzaa.
-Washington, Sept. 27.—A statement
was iesued by the war department to
night that the Cuban commission had
effected an arranfement with the Span
ish authorities whereby the steamer
Comal, carrying a cargo of supplies for
the suffering people of Cuba, would be
permitted to land her oargo at Matan
zas free of duty. This indicates the
adjustment of a question that promised
for several days to become serious.
The Spanish authorities still maintain
ing Spain's right of sovereignty over
the island of Cuba, refused to permit
the Comal to land at Havana without
the imposition upon her cargo of duties
amounting to $60,000. In addition to
this, the vessel's captain was fined for
disregarding some port regulations un
known to him.
Againet the proceeding the Ameri
can commission strongly protested, and
demanded the free importation of the
Comal's cargo of supplies. It waa
pointed ont to the Spanish that the
mission of the vessel was purely chari
table, and that, in any event, the posi
tion assumed by the Spanish officials
was untenable, as it was not in accord
ance with the provisions of the proto
col signed in this city by Ambassador
Cambon in the name of Spain. The
incident resulted in an exchange be
tween the American commission and
the Spanish officials of lively notes,
and the question was finally referred
to Washington for adjustment. The
arrangement made effects the Comal
only. She is now at Key West, and
will sail for Matanzas probably tonight
or tomorrow.

this afternoon, killing three persons
and injuring many more. The dead

Clara O'Neil, employed in the Lin
coln paper mills; Mrs. John Bickley
and Frank Moffat.
The Lincoln paper mill was unroofed

' church and the Presbyterian church.
There were 40 pupils in the public
school when it collapsed. The chil
dren were covered with piles of debris
and many were badly injured. Frank
Moffatt, one of the pupils, was dead

FIFTY POUNDS OF GOLD.
Two Oregon Miners Secured a Fortune
In Two Weeks.
Medford, Or., Sept. 28.—The great
est mining excitement ever known in
Southern Oregon has been caused by a
iich strike just made in the Sisfcyou
mountains, one milo from the Jackson
county line, on what is known as Ster
ling butte. William Angle and Jordan
Brown are the lucky discoverers. They
came to Medford last night with 50
pounds of gold dust which they de
posited in the Jackson County bank.
The ledge is of porphyry formation,
and is about 20 feet wide, the pay
streak being from four inches to two
feet in width. They have been pros
pecting for about six weeks, and struck
the pay dirt about two weeks ago.
They have taken out about 60 pounds
of gold, and are very enthusiastic as to
I future developments.
Mr. Angle was formerly a merchant
in Medford. Two years ago, while
selling a bill of goods to a miner
named McCombs, he learned of the
nature of the country in which the
claim is located. He made several
attempts to get tracings, but did not
succeed until this season, when he took
Mr. Brown, a pocket-hunter, with him,
and within two weeks they made a find.
Mr. Angle calls the claim the "Klon
dike," and he says the country is a
fine one for prospecting. The mine is
7,200 feet above sea level. It is situ
ated 15 miles from Coles station, on
the Southern Pacific railroad.
Gale at Tonswanda.
Tonawanda, N. V., Sept. 28.—A ter
rible wind storm struck this place be
tween 4 and 5 o'clock this afternoon.
Houses and bains were smashed tc
kisdling wood, trees uprooted, and
many persona injured. It had been
raining for an hour when, at 4:15, a
iegnlar hurricane swept across the Ni
agara river. Samuel Monnett, a milk
wagon driver, was caught in the
storm. His rig was rushed along the
street at lightning speed until wrecked.
Monnett is believed to be fatally in
jured. Mrs. Charles Peters and Mrs.
Henry Peters, the latter carrying an
infant, were picked up and hurled vio
lently against a building. Both wo
men were picked up unconscious. It
is estimated the damage to the property
will reach $100.
Now Favor Revision.
Paris, Sept. 28.—At a meeting of the
cabinet this morning, all the ministers
being present, a decision was taken in
favor of a revision of the trial of ex-
Captain Dreyfus, and the documents
in the case will be sent to the court of
cassation. Crowds of people outside
the ministry of the interior, where the
cabinet council was held, loudly
cheered the ministers.
The cabinet ordered the minister of
justice, M. Sarrien, to lay before the
court of cassation the petition of
Madame Dre.vf us for a revision of Jher
husband'a case. The court therefore
will decide the legal question as to
whether the first trial of Dreyfus was
vitiated by the forgery committed by
the late Lieutenant-Colonel Henry.

Denver, Sept. 28.—Frank Finks, a
privato of the Seventh United States
infantry, has died in this city of typhoid
contracted in the Santiago campaign.

IroquoU for Honolulu.
Washington, Sept. 28.—The nary
department has decided to send the big
ocean-going tag Iroquois, now at San
Francisco, to Honolulu, for the use of
the naval station to be established
, there. This vessel was purchased by

auxiliary naval -vessel, and it is said in
addition to regular service as a harbor
tag at Honolulu, she will be used as a
dispatch-boat running from Honolulu
to San Francisco.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
[Reported by Downing, Hopkins & Co., Inc..
Board of Trade Brokers, 711 to 714 Chamber oi,
Commerce building, Portland, Oregon.]
On the advance of 3c to 5c in wheat,
at Chicago last week shoits covered ;
freely. They put the September to j
67%, and the December to 64 5-8. It
looked at the close Saturday as if the
demand from the shorts had been ap
preciably relieved. At the same
time that the speculators were taking
in their contracts at Chicago the sea
board shippers were covering theirs
freely. There was a letting up in the (
demand of both sorts during the clos
ing days of the week. Brokers with
export connections said the inquiry for
cargoes was not what it had been. The
commission people with relations in
all directions said the southwestern
and northwestern shorts bad materially
relieved their anxiety. So far as the
speculative position ia concerned it did
not look as bullish last Saturday as it
did a weok ago. The bear liquidation
on the advance had evened the pit up.
From being very bearish the local
crowd seemed to have become bullish;
a pretty good indication of what has
been going on.
Last week's receipts were in excess
of the week previous, although the
epr<ng wheat movement was curtailed
somewhat by showery weather. There
were heavy clearences, largely flour.
There was a very bewildering shipping
situation most of the week. Local
receipts were so small there was a
scramble from millers, elevator owners
and cargo people to get the desirable
grain. Yet the demand was not gen
eral. On the same days some of the
most active of brokers would call the
demand poor, while others would call
it sharp, indicating that the smallness
of the stocks and the lightness of the
arrivals did not require many orders to
make the demand look large to a man
who had an order for a cargo. There
were over 8,000,000 bushels at piimary
markets during the week, half at the
two Northwestern points. Duluth and
Minneapolis were strong in spite of
their heavy arrivals, but the biggest j
single buyer in those markets was a
Chicago elevator operator, Armour.

Volniiteer C»mpi- .
Philadelphia, Sept 27.—Rev. Crrus
L. Brady, archdeacon of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese of Eastern : Pennsyl
vania and chaplain of the First Penn
sylvania t volunteers, in a sermon to
night severely criticised i the manage
ment of ; the volunteer camps * which
came under bis obseivation • at Cbicka
mauga, his \ regimentf was sta
tioned for a long •: time. He said the
medical, commissary, ; quartermaster
and ordnance departments were all to
blame, and continued thus: v. j : v"
"I personally saw men left in the
hospital in camp for 36 hours without
any medical attendance whatever.
• "I saw men in those hospitals suffer
ing from fevei'witli the fain beating
down upon : them. _' j
"I saw men committed to the care of
unskilled attendants when it was abso
lutely impossible for them to receive
anything like the attention they de
served. V ■■'' ■-;,
: "1 saw men suffering fromjever, ly
ing with their mouths open and their
mouths filled j with flies." : -
In conclusion, the arohdeacon said:
"I wonder it I dare, being still in
the government service, say more.
There is much more that might be told
if it were proper to tell it, but perhaps
this will suffice. V -I had not intended
to touch upon this phase of our experi
ence at all, but when I think that
■these things have taken place in this,
the richest, greatest and presumably
the most advanced nation on the face
of the earth, I cannot hold my peace."

Dreyer, her commander, and five oth
ers having died, of that dread disease,
scurvj, which so often breaks out on
board vessels from the tar East. The
Olga sailed from Sourabava ' April
When about two months out from port, :
the disease first made its apperance,
and one by one the men were taken
ill, until the ship's company was re
duced to four men able to be about.
Captain Dreyer was among the first to
be stricken. He lasted _ only a few
days, suffering great agony. Then the
mate took charge, and he too, was
stricken down, leaving in charge of the
vessel men who had little knowledge
of navigation. When St. Michaels was
reached, a new captain was taken
aboard and the fateful voyage was con
tinued.
The Olga is dow waiting orders, and
will probably come to this port to dis
charge her cargo. "/ 4 '•
TRANSPORTING BULLION.
The Government Will Ship Sllvei
_a« Freight. ' % ,:..-.■/_"
Chicago, Sept. 27.—The Tribune
says: A train bearing 10,000,000
ounces of silver bullion from, Phila
delphia is Boon to mark a new era in
the federal government's method ol
transporting the precious metals be
tween the mints. vlt baa been known
for some time that such a great ship
ment was in contemplation, and fthV
appearance of Assistant Secretary Van
derlip, of the treasury department, in
Chicago was for the purpose of making
■ the definite arrangements. Mr. Van
derlip was in consultation with West
ern road officials, and the shipment is
to be made on a special ; fast' train
guarded by federal soldiers and detec
tives. It is supposed that hereafter
freight, and not express, will be the
method of shipment.
The Philadelphia mint is being run
to its full capacity coining gold— both
foreign and domestic—-which has been
pouring in at a surprising rate, and the
intenttion is to transfer 10,000,000
ounces of silver to the ; Pacific; coast.
This amount \ means ovei 800 tone, or
15 ordinary, average carloads. The ex
press oharges on any such quantity at
anything like sohedule. rates would be
an item which even the United States
treasury could afford to figure on sav
ing. ::: ■■'. ■^■■^■■^■■•'■■' - ; -.
Yacht Captain Murdered.
Sausalito, Cal., Sept 27. —Captain
Brooks, of the yacht Chispa, which
was anchored in the stream opposite
this town, was murdered at 1:45
o'clock this morning by two bay pi
rates. They boarded the little vessel,
evidently believing it to be without a
watchman. They plundered the lock
ers and were about ready to pull ashore
in a small boat when Captain Brooks
and a companion, who had been asleep
in the cabin, were aroused and made
their appearance on deck. A desperate
fight ensued, during which Captain
Biooks was killed, and the other man,
whose name has not been learned, was
wounded. The murderers then made
their escape, pulling toward the shore
in the darkness.

PBOPOBBD ALLIANCB WITH ENG

If the United States and England «hould
form an alliance, the combined "trerigMi
would be so great that there would be little
chance for enenfies to overcome us. In a^ like
manner, when men and women keep up their
bodily strength with Hosteller's Btomach
Bitters, there gis little chance of attacks from
disease. The old time remedy enriches the
blood, builds up the muscles, steadies the
nerves and increases the appetite. Try It.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Stbup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Stkup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—

Dr. Thomas H. White, at the nortW
