The house bill regulating the fee3 of the county clerk, which came up in the house la3t Friday, failed to Pass. . A Walla Walla reporter claims to have discovered that it is only wom en with big feet that wear big hats at rue theater. Eain and snow fell at intervals yes terday making an -intolerable- slush in the streets, that, fortunately, is not likelyto "continue. "v Jr-. "'."""'. . . .CTo--mbrrjo.w will.be" the feast of St. Yalentitfef the most '" popularly ob served of any of those whose canon ized remembrance graces the rubric. All the mill men in the vicinity of La Center have large tie contracts. They are .getting twenty-sis centa apiece delivered on the car at Albma. There" is some boat building, net knitting, etc., going on; but few cans are making, and less than the usual quantity st material is reported pur chasetl so far. Portlandites are just as pleased as Astorians over the regular arrivals of the Dolphin with fresh fish. The onterprising owners have a fine field in which to pn3h their business. ,The Thompson opera company are announced to appear to-morrow even ing in "The Mikado," and on Tues day evening in "Robert Maeaire." Beserved seats at the Crystal Palace. There are only three vessels in the river the Hornby Castle, loaded; the Patterdale and Balloclimyle loading. The four-masted schooner Novelty orossed out yesterday after noon. Portland is very indignant over the veto of the water bill by Gov. Pen noyer. The governor will probably suit himself in the matter 01 vetoes to the same extent he did iu writing his message. This is the last week of the legisla ture. No one, not even themselves, will know what has been done till tho newspapers "throughout the state obligingly publish the bills as signed by the governor. As the river steamer K. R. Thomp son was leaving for Portland at sis o'clock yesterday morning, she came in collision with the tug Wizard. Fortunately but little damage was done to Bither vessel. The-Glympia Standard editor says he can't count beyond three. Why, even . Oj;.ocow., can, beat that The Standard--mem should bend his gi gantic intellect to the consideration of a primary arithmetic. The Uncle Tom's Cabin oompany. has split. The brainiest part of the' combination insisted on retaining the star bloodhounds, thus recognizing the strength of the cast and the' re quirements -of the situation. "Ruddy Gore; or the Witch's Curse," is the title of Gilbert and Sullivan's new opera. "The Poisoned Gum Drops; or, the.Candy Man's Revenge; a tale or Uhenamus street," is the title of the latest local broohure. Eastern journals say that Oregon's senators and congressmen are the hardest workers in the national leg islature. It certainly looks like it. They have done creditable "vrork for the state, and have, incidentally, aided Washington territory. Ella May a six months old girl whose mother is dead and whose father is in Washington territory, died at the residence of an uncle, Mr. Morris, yesterday. The funeral will be at Clatsop to-day: the Electric leaving at 130, this afternoon. The annual trouble with water pipes has continued now for nearly two weeks. It seems little uss to spend $50 or $60 boxing ono's water pipes when tho water is turned off without notice and the supply shut off as effectually as though one were in a desert , The Sound papers, for a wonder, are unafaimous on one proposition that a light house is needed at Cape Flattery. The dreadful record of death end marine disaster in that vi cinity certainly justifies the appeal. Anything that can serve to mitigate the horrors of that terrible north coast should be done. The Thompson opera company ap-1 pear in Portland to-night and adver tise their appearanoe to-morrow night with full orchestra and chorus accom- Eaniment at Ross' opera house. From ere they go to Salem. They claim to put "The Mikado" on the stage as it should be. The last time it was played here it was badly cut. This company say thpy will present it in fine shape. The troublous paths through which an unfbrtunato legislator is com pelled to pick his perilous way i3 illustrated in Washington county where a county offleial is credited with declaring that "If Hare supports that bill, (abolishing tho county clerk's office) it will knock his ear off"." The Independent says, "if he doesn't, off goes his head." The on ly thing left a legislator is to get a middling tight grip on a few ideas and carry them out, and let people go ahead with their talk. BradstreeVs, the weekly financial and commercial newspaper published by the Bradstreet company, is now in its fifteenth volume, and is surpassed by none of the financial and oommer oUl periodicals of this country or in Europe. In the fourteen volumes al ready issued can be found a greater diversity ot original and carefully prepared matter facts and figures relating to business topics than in any other periodical during the anie .viiivu, xiwi 10 jb nuiuti;u iiiv ii nas reached ad maiutains this posi- tion, for it is owned and published by a largo corporation with its cashi capital and assets of over felUU.Oiw, its nearly 100 branch offices, and its small army of over 1,600 salaried em ployes and 63,000 regular correspond ents. This organization makes ex tensive investigations into industrial and other matters, gathors full reports of the condition and prospects of the leading crops, and reports regularly each week the condition of trade throughout the country, "thus prac tically making BradstreeVs an au thority as to "the condition and pros pects of the. commercial world. It needs but a glance at the newspaper to satisfy any one that'ita publishers have been ambitions'' father than, ava ricious. Files of BradstreeVs have become an acceptable and almost in dispensable journal for progressive business men. Plain Talk From a "Side Tracked Cltv." The following, from the Boise City, Tdaho, Statesman, suggests another newspaper is awakening a sleepy town to the dangers of being side tracked: "We cannot very much longer ex pect to hold our own against railroad towns. However much we may hoot the idea, as some of our people are inclined to do, the fact remains that we are at a great disadvantage in Boise City without a railroad, and it is high time wo were looking the un pleasant fact squarely in the face. Wo may hug the delusive idea that we are "holding our own," and as a matter of fact we are, but that is about all. We are not growing any, nor can we hope to grow much nntil we get a railroad. These are plain and unwelcome facts that must be met and the sooner they are met aud the conditions changed the better it will be for all concerned. Action should be taken at once, for these matters cannot be attended to any too soon." By Way of Tort Natal We have received a correspondence from Neor City hoaded "Our Birth Wright. We do not take kindly to the caption and would prefer to de pend on immigration.

Following the declaration of district- assembly No. 49. IC of L., that the striko was off, there was a general rush of 'long shoremen and freight handlers along the whole river front this moruing, to get back to work. At some of the piers along the East river, the strik ers had not even waited for ordera from headquarters, but had gone back to work on tho best terms they could make. As early as six o'clook gang3 of strikers were seen around the piers waiting to catch the foremen and superintendents as they came to their respective piers. At tho main steam ship company's pier all the old hands had returned. At the Clyde, Mallory and Ward piers also, many hands had found their way baok, but in no in stance wero they recognized as union ists. By Monday it is expected the business of the companies will havo resumed its normal ehape. AX AB1LY WITH BANNERS. Brussels, Fob. 12.

The Danes have a society known as the "Maiden Assurance society." Its aim is to provide for a class single women of well-to-do families. It shelters and cares for them and fur nishes trem with "pin money." It3 methods are thus described: As soon as a girl child is born to him the fa ther enrolls her name in a certain as sociation and pays a certain sum,and thereafter a Used sum to the society. When she has reaohed the age of wo bolievo twenty-one, aud is not married, she becomes entitled to a fixed income, to a suite of apartments in a large building of the associa tion, withgarden3 and park about it, inhabited" by other young or older ladies who- have become members. If her father dies in her youth, and sbede3ires jtjjtbe has shelter jn this buildingandat a fixed tinny her own income. When she dies or marries nil this ri?ht to income lapses and the. money paicfln swells "febo endow-1 ment of the association, tier, father may pay for twenty years and then her marriage cuts off all advantages of the insurance. But this very chance must enable the company to charge lower annual premiums and ma.ke.the burden less on the father insuring. He, has, any way, the pleasant feeling that his small annual payments are insuring his daughter's future, and giving her a comfortable home and income after he has gone. The plan is said to have worked well for generations in Copenhagen. A Candid Retraction. "By an uuforthnato typographical error" explains the contrite editor of a Dakota paper, "we were made to say last week that our distinguished townsman, Pros. Kennedy, was about to rig up a nobby babboon for the comfort and enjoyment of his daugh ter on her wedding trip over the prairies. What wo meant to say was a nobby balloon. Wo write this with our left hand, while lying on our spare bed, with one eye entirely closed and tho other hand paid ted, and an inverted chair across our stomach for a writing table. The ex tent of ouc regret for the blunder may be measured by the difficulties we have surmounted in penning this explanation." Unneressfiry'Jlisery. Probably as much misery comes from habitual constipation as from any derangement of the functions of the body, and it is diffioult to cure, for the reason that no one likeB to take the "medicines usually pre scribed.
