People who came along'wero given all they wanted and Mr. Guistin salted a lot and still many were wasted, although the lead line was lifted and many allowed to escape. It is 'the general opinion that these so called trout are young salmon. State superintendent . B. Mc Elroy is now engaged in the work of preparing a school teacher's register, which will conform to the blanks and public school system of the state, the use of which will be made obligatory in every school district in Oregon.

Daring the month of September. '88, there was a rainfall of 2.32 inches. In September, '87, the rainfall was 4.82 inches: in '86.4.33 inches: in '85. 4.33 inches; in '84, 6.32 inches; in '83 Dut tnat s far back enough. It was a dry September. There was only one foggy day in the whole month. There were no frosts, no high winds; the highest temperature was 80" on the 25th, the lowest, 49' on the 18th and 22nd. The prevailing direction of wind was southwest; its highest velocity was 124 miles anortheaster on tue litu and 2oih. The mean barometer was 29.9S8; nothing mean about tnat. James McGrath, Peter Tregansi and H. Nelson were drowned last Monday morning while fishing off Arch rock. The fishermen who re ported the matter to the authorities says that their boat capsized in the swell just after the steamer Queen of me pacific passed it. Tne nsuerman was a quarter of a mile distant in his boat, and before he conld reach the men where they were struggling in the water, they had disappeared. A telegram from point Bon it a says the Queen of the Pacific stopped and picked something up, but from the fisherman's statement it is not likely that any of the men were saved. Upon her arrival from Portland yesterday afternoon the Telephone was about to land bow on at her dock. The bell had been rung to stop, and the jingle bell to reverse; two bells were pulled to back, but only one sounded, tne boat going ahead, bnmpmg into the piles on the end of the Catiby's dock, and hit the Canity a smashing blow in the bow, flattening out the tatter's nose and doing a little damage to the bow of the Telephone. Jnst astern of the Canby was tho It. li. Thompson, which received a rap from the Canby when struck by the Telephone. There was a lively scampering when the bows of the Canby and Telephone collided; but no one was hurt, and there is some resultant damage. It was an unavoidable accident, one of the kind that may not occur again for ten years. Regarding the recent sudden death of Mrs. Dr. G. J. Hill, of North Yaki ma, W. T., it is learned that the de ceased lady had been sunenug from a severe attack ot neuralgia, from which she could fiud no relief. In the absence of her husband she went, as was her custom, to his medical chest and took a dose of morphine to relievo pam and put her to sleep. The first dose not .sufficing, she took a second and went to sleep. The doctor returning lato from his round of visits was ploased to find his wife asleep, thinking she was better. Ho tnrned in by her side and slept sound ly until morniug, when he was awak ened by thoir little three-year-old boy, who complained that he could not nwakeu "mamma." It did not take the doctor long to realize what had happened. Frantic with grief he speedily secured all tho medical tal ent nvailable, and everything possi ble was done to snatch the d corned woman from the" jaw3 of death, but to no purpose. One of the fossilized nbsnrdities and inconveniences of our time is the uncut leaf of the book or magazine. The trimming or each book can be done by a machine in the fractional part of a minute. Tho reader is now required to do this part ot tlie pub lisher's unfinished work. The cus tom is almost "Early 'English" iu its origin, and dates ns far back as the time when the Englishman hadn't many printed books, and was so proud and careful ot his periodical as to want it sent him with the leaves uncut as a proof that no one had read it before him. Two hundred and odd years ago it was n "big thing" to havo any kind of printed matter, and books were then regarded with actual reverence. But the un cut leaf is one ot the many barnacles of custom and usage we stoccrer un der and endure, along with the idea still current with a class that a woman has bad no bead for business, or that a man can learn no new art, trade or profession after fifty.

A CHAPTER ABOUT DOCTOHS. Richt here and now The Abtobian rises to remark that it is not fair, nor right, to call a disciple ot Esculapius "Doc." Call him doctor or don't call him at all. It knocks all the dignity out 01 a man to cut mm on with a bob-tailed "Doc." Doctors have enough ot annoyance and bother without being whittled down that way. Talking ot doctors, it is not likely that there is a more overworked and thankless lot than that of a doc tor. When a doctor pulls yon through and saves you from joining tne majority, your nrst impulse is one of Heaven-born gratitude. (That is the time for tho doctor to bring in his bill). "God bless you, doctor, you've saved my life." Three weeks after: "Oh, yes, this is your bill, is it? All right, 111 look it over." Three months after. "Look here, Doc; good God! seems to me that's a pretty steep bill of yours." And the dootor who devoted all hi3 skill, time, en ergy and effort to save the man from dying has to stand around and de fend himself and explain about his bilL First the man has the doctor save his life and then tries to beat him out ot the cost, thus illustrating the value he puts on it Ot conrse there are doctors and doctors, but there are very few doc tors that charge more than their ser vices are worth. It's funny to see 'how men .will dodge paying a bill that they justly owe. A certain physician of this town had been remarkably assiduous in medical attendance on one man, and after a tussle with Death, by skill and science and main strength had managed to get his patient out of bed. Three months after he brought in his bill. He got a few dollars; his visits to that family were no longer called for; a year after he got a few dollars more, on account. Finally, after three years he ventured to sug gest that he would like a little on ac count. "Well, Doc," said tha man, "I've had a heap of sickness in my family lately, and I've been so busy paying doctor's bills, I've got no money. Yon'H have to wait." PERSONAL MENTION. Carl Epperley is in the city. O. P. Upshur has returned from Portland. J. A. Montgomery goes to the Wil lapa this morning. G. H. George and and wife left for Forest Grove last evening, on a visit to Dr. and Mrs. Orang. An Explanation. What is this "nervous trouble" with which so many seem now to be af flicted? If yon will remember a few years ago the word Malaria was com paratively unknown, to-day it is as common ns any word in the English language, yet this word covers only the meaning of another word used by our forefathers iu times past -So -it is with nervous diseases, as they and Malaria are intended to cover what our grandfathers called Dillionsness, and all are caused by troubles that arise from a diseased condition of the Liver which in performing its func tions finding it cannot dispose of the bile through the ordinary channel is compelled to pass it off through the system, causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well appreciate a cure. We recommend Green a Au gust Flower. Its cures are niar velons. Advance in Flour. Minneapolis, Oct. 2.

About two hundred persons were in the'hall at the time, and the police quickly closed the doors and placed them all under ar rest They were then taken to the old city hall station". and those who wero able to furnish bail were re leased. A WILD DAY. New York, Oct. 3. The fuU force ot the Chicago wheat manipulations struck the New York market thi3 morning like a thunderbolt. The market closed last night with Decem ber at 81.11 and opened at 81.14. May deliveries from- last night's close at 8U2. advanced to 9LU'on the first movement. Everybody ran wild. All other interests on the floor were tem porarily neglected.' December soon touched S1.17K- May, Sl.20; oper ators acted more like Indians than civilized beings, and a general buy ing movement was set in by all par ties, the foreign house included. They generally expressd fear that the December and October wonld bo cor nered by northwestern millers, who are all bullish. j 120 p. m. Wheat stands at the highest of the day with continued wildness in trading. Everything is all tight, with no more failures. THE SUIOAN BMBROQLIO. New York, Oct. 3. A Washington special says the Samoan trouble Ijas reached a point which makes its sat isfactory settlement a matter ot very great concern to the 'United States, and most careful attention is now being paid to it by our government. President Cleveland has recently tak en hold of the subject, and there is reason to believe that it will soon be laid before the cabinet for considera tion. ' The recent course of Germany in carrying oil the Samoau king and setting up an insurgent in his plaoe, certainly appears to be a flagrant violaton of the agree, men t between that government ,and Great Britain and the United States that the auto nomy of the Samona island shall not be disturbed. The Samoans have re volted -against tie-king sot up by Germans and had'bim and his party cooned up in the canital. It is easv toeee that complications more, seri ous iiiuu uu.v lum -uavo gone ueiore may follow the present situation, and there is a strong feeling here. It iB time for the United States to take some decisive steps toward curbing Uermany's aggressions. The contin ued independence' and neutrality of the Samoan islands is of high im portance to tho dovernment, especi ally because, the islands lie practically iu the track of all.Vessels using either ot the projected- isthmus canals. Opinions are divided as to the best conrse for the . government to adopt, but trora what can be learned in the state department 'circles a move of some kind may be'expected soon, and it may not ue m iuu uirccuon or con senting to any further aggressive vio lations of Germany's agreements. THE WHITE PASHA. London, Oct. 3. Sir Francis do Wiuton, president of tho Emin Bey relief committee. eajs that further reports this week from Khartoum have convinced him that captain Van Gele was mistaken in his assertion that ho was the White Pasha that had been reported by pilcrrims. The news which has been received by the .rJmm Xioy relief association, be as serts, has strengthened tho opinion that tue wnite 1'asna is none other than Stanley. Europeans on the Congo, who are the people best able to judge, also still maintain that the Whito Pasha is Stanley. A VOTE OF CENSURE. London, Oct. 3.
