The Human Electrical Forces! How They Control the Organs of the Body. Tho electrical force of the human body, as the nerve fluid may bo termed, 11 an especially attractive department of science, as it exerts so marked an influence on the health of the organs of the body. Nerve force is produced by the bruin and conveyed by means of the nerves to ihe various organs of ' the body, thussupplying the latter with the vitality necessary to in«ure their health. The pneumogastrfc nerve, as shown here, may be said ■MgSr-yjS® to be the most important of the entire nerve systom, as it supplies the heart lungs, stomach, bowels, etc., with the nerve force necessary to keep them active and healthy. As will be seen WfcWWMßfc by the cut tho long nerve descending from tho JWWWKI base of tho brain and jjWMagJWKjft . terminating in dm bowels is the pneumogas trie, while the numerous littie branches supply t heart, lungs an I stoin-WHfWWK&tJngH ach with necessary vitality. When the brain becomes in any way disordered by irritability MHKggmlljKnH or exhaustion, dm nerve ■ffiHMMI.vSBNy force which it supplies wSgaWyjjy.ilflSW! Is lessened, and dm or- ■MBSgjfe.'jmaßMl gans receiving tho di- PaffiWgg.igSW minishod supply a re con•emiently weakened. Physicians generally fall to recognize, the importance of tills fact, but treat the organ itself instead of tho cause of tho t rouble The noted specialist, Franklin Mlles, M. !>., LL. 8., has given the greater part of his life to the study;of this subject, and the principal • discoveries ebneorning it are due to his efforts. Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine, tho unrivaled brain and nerve food, is prepared on the principle that all nervous and many other difficulties originate from disorders of tho nerve centers. Its wonderful success Incurlng these disorders is testified to by thousands in every part of the land. Restorative Nervine cures sleeplessness, nervous prostration, dizziness, hysteria, sexual debility, St. Vitus dance, epilepsy, etc. It Is free from opiates or dangerous drugs.

APPLES BETTER THAN WHEA'T. Some Startling Figuring Done by an Enthusiastic Oregon Editor. That it will not do to put all of one’s eggs in one basket has been thoroughly demonstrated by tho berry crop this season. With thousands of crates ripe the ability to reach a market is without any fault of ours suddenly taken aWay. The strawberry crop has been the principal one of this section, and, while it will not only hold its present yield, but will double and treble it, it will in a year or two become of secondary importance. Prunes, peaches, cherries and small fruits generally are a necessity to tho fruitgrower because they furnish him vyith money early in the season as well as early in his business. They are a means to an end, furnishing money to support the family and to improve the farms. They all bear one fatal objection as a crop to be relied upon, and that is tho absolute necessity of finding a market for them as soon as they are ripe. This may not be true of the prune, but for it the same condition’exists —it must be taken care of at once when ripe. The fruit of Hood River, the one that is to make her famous as well as prosperous, is the winter apple. That can bo kept. It can bo gathered leisurely, once in bearing, bring better and steadier returns and at tho very least outlay. John Sweeny’s orchard last year, its first year of bearing, produced more net money than would or could have been derived from the same area of land sown to wheat in 36 years. This year it should yield 50 times as much, next year 70 times as mnch, and then for 20 years 100 times as much. In other words, one acre of winter apples is worth more, year in and year out, than 100 acres of wheat. Six acres of good orchard will yield a larger net yield than a section of wheat land. Multiply the acres in Hood River valley by 100 and some idea of the wealth that it will eventually produce may be gained. In other words, every section in fruit will produce a cash value equal to three townships of wheat. The winter apple is going to accomplish this result, and the next few years as the young orchards come into bearing will prove the truth of this assertion, though it now seems a wild one. We can hut reiterate our former words: “Hunt apple trees. Twenty (lores if you can; one tree if that is your limit, but plant at every opportunity. ’’ When this valley is an orchard from the- ini4 Into the sum mi L east of m s and from the river back for 20 miles, then only will it have trained its full development.—Hood River (Or.)

The weavers’ association also held a big meeting in Music hall. The weavers voted to continue the “vacation” until the old rate of wages is restored, but as they refuse to go to work under the ‘present rates they are virtually out on strike. Don’t Like to Acknowledge Defeat. Frankfort, Ky., Sept. 17.—Breckin- I ridge men here are reluctant to acknowledge their defeat. Some of them are still claiming the nomination of Colonel Breckinridge by a small majority. They base their hopes of contest ing the elec- . tion on the fact that the Owens county I vote fell off 500 from last fall. Chair- | man Gaines of the Breckinridge committee here has gone to Lexington to consult with party leaders there. Owens men claim the nomination by 241 votes. The official count will be held today and as a majority of the elections committee favors Breckinridge it is expected? that, advantage will be taken of every contested vote to seat the colonel. Bishop Duncan, in a prayer before the Methodist conference here, thanked God that the right had been upheld in putting : down bad men who aspired to public of licu - A j In a Fair Way. West Superior, Wis., Sept. 17.— . Major Mahohey, who was sent out by Governor Peck to investigate the losses by tire in the burned district in this state, is resting from his labors at a West Superior hotel, having completed his task. He will return via Phillips to see how the previous fire . sufferers are getting on. The major says he» found 1 the situation loss distressing than he expected and that all that is needed now is stoves for refugees from Baronnet and 1 Cumberland. From his view there is little needed beyond temporary relief, as most heads of families have steady em-ployment-to engage them through the winter. Feß'er anil Martin.

Fort Smith, Ark., Sept. 17.—United ’ 'States Deputy Marshal Smith has returned from a trip that few men can > make and come back alive. He has been to the rendezvous of the Bill Dalton gang, which was organized by the union of the Bill Cook gang and the remnant o£ Bill Dalton’s old band. Smith , went there alone trying to induce Bill Cook, who formerly worked as a member of Smith’s posse, to abandon his life lof outlawry. Cook assured him, however, that he proposed to go ahead in his ■ career, as it was uow too late to turn back.

GLORIFyjmiSELVES7 : War News From the Flowery Kingdom Said to Be Unreliable, MENDACITY OF THE CHINESE Refnaal of China to Transnet Any New* Which Doe* Not Show Them In the Beat Light—Treaty Between Japan and England Ratified—United State* Fail* to Take Advantage ot an Opportunity. San. Francisco, Sept. 17.—The steamer Oceanic arrived here yesterday from Hong Kong and Yokohama, bringing Japanese advices to Sept. 2. Little or no intelligence was brought from China direct and the following notice which appears At the head of the editorial page in the China Gazette, a newspaper published in Shanghai, seems to indicate the difficulty of obtaining reliable information from Chinese sources: “In the present situation of affairs.it is utterly useless to attempt to get any reliable information over the Chinese wires or from Chinese sources, and we are comI polled, therefore, to wait until the Japanese official accounts of the progress of I the war between China and Japan are ! first published in the press of the latter country and then get them telegraph' d here. The. Chinese have by their disgraceful mendacity in the Kow Shing I affair, and their refusal to transmit any I telegram which does not glorify them' : and mislead the public as to their true > comtition, cut themselves off from all : chance of their rejsirtsbeing believed by people who want to get at the truth.” Failed to Take Advantage. The revised treaty between Japan and i England was ratified at Tokio, Aug. 25. ; For the first time the United States has I failed to take advantage of Japan’s de--i sire to treat primarily with the great re- ' public in international transactions. I The “opinion expressed in Japan is that 1 negotiations at Washington might have I been concluded long ago if the state de- | partment had been disposed,to act up>>n i Japanese proposals. As it is Great I Britain stands ahead in the enactment I of.the treaty which the Asiatic empire has lieeii urgently striving for more than years to secure. On the previous : occasion the business was nearly brought to a conclusion ’by Count Okum, but at I i the last moment his plans were defeated I by the Violent public demonstrations in ' Japan against his method of adjusting i the vexed question of the judiciary. Os No Immediate Benefit. It was, therefore, thought expedient j to keep these latter negotiations strictly i secret and to allow none of the proposed ’ conditions to become a subject of popu r ; lar discussion until the affair was abso-: lutely tenninatetl. The announcement ; first made by. the emperor was a surprise ; to every one, though vague rumors of j what was eOntejjnplated had been circulated during the past few weeks. The i treaty confers no immediate advantages i on Japan. At least five years must' ! elapse before it goes into operation and ! it is for Japan to say whether or not the ■ intervals shall be longer, but until 18!W , everything must remain as it is now The purpose of this delay is that Japan shall perfect her judicial system to an extent warranting the abolishment of : English law courts. The existance of ■ foreign tribunals is ofietrf Japan’s chief grievances and this, so far as Great I Britain is concerned, will cease at the i appointed time. The other grievance, interference with the tariff, will be done ’ away with until 1910, when complete autoiioihy may be resumed by the simple process of terminating the treaty. Average Duties. But from 1899, or whatever date the Japanese sign for the agreement to come in force 11 years later, when it may be cancelled by either party, a partially new tariff will be adopted somewhat more favorable to Japan than that which now n'gulates her commerce, but not strikingly so, The import duties now collected average 5 per eent ad valorem. Under the new British schedule the average is estimated at from ti to B.per cent. Only 29 articles, some of which are siiMivided as to make the total appear 39, are raised above the former rates. Os these, silks and sole leather are fixed at 15 per cent. The injury, including parrii.i’ie oil. are fixed at 10 per cent. The actual computation, however, will not be ad valorem. By a supplementary convention specific duties will be applied oil the basis of average prices as shewn by the customs returns for six months. COURAGEOUS WOMAN. She UlivcknHr.teSi a XVouldbe Rebber—-Pi* tol at Her Head. Fort Scott, Kam, Sept. 17.—A daring robber entered the store of T. L.

She refused and he drew a revolver and commanded her to comply with his request. The door of the safe was closed but not locked. The woman stepped toward it and closed the combination. He thought she was in the act of opening the safe : .but in fact she was locking it.
