A good preventive for diphtheria is

Rev. Eli D. Sutcliff, rector of the
Episcopal church in this city, gave his
people a very fine discourse last Sunday,
appropiate to the Thanksgiving season
He reminded his hearers that charity
was an essential element in christian
character and that a remembe ranee of
the poor and the sick in the hospitals
was one of the duties of life, and to not
let the left hand know the gift of the
right. This was Thanksgiving.

On the Eight Mile road, between the
mouth of Dry Hollow and Phil Wagner's
farm, there is a grade which is a little
higher and steeper than any other place,
and some wretch, is mean enough to
place poles on it so as to obstruct the
travel entirely. Whoever she or he may
be are liable to go to the lockup before
they know it. A word to the wise ought
to be sufficient.
WASCO ACADEMY NOTES.
We regret that protracted illness keeps
several from their places in the school
room. Although the entrance of new
pupils fills the vacancies thus made so
that the number present varies but little
from week to week, we shall be very
glad to welcome the old faces back.
They can rest fully assured of the sym
pathy of both companions and teachers.
As is usually the case the second
quarter finds the pupil, as a whole, more
studious and, of course, doing better
work. The easy-going spirit of vacation
has gone with the hot weather ; the cool,
bracing air gives new life and energy to
the body, and the brain responds by
prompt and more vigorous efforts.
As the boys are some vigorously pur
suing the foot-ball over the Common,
some one is heard to ask : "Why can't
the girls have some tennis courts laid
out so they can have exercise as the
boys do?" The question is certainly a
pertinent one and ought to receive such
an answer as would make the inquiry
impossible in the future. The expendi
ture of a few dollars in grading would
not only furnish opportunity for two or
three good courts but also add much to
the attractiveness of the grounds.
Perhaps the condition of the flag-staff
is appropriate for the season, when all
the trees are being stripped of their
foliage, but it has been bare so long that
we would like to see the stars and stripes
once more floating from its halyards.
As this is thanksgiving week there
will be no school on Thursday and Fri
day next. Probably all will give thanks
for the- breathing spell afforded, eat
their fill of thanksgiving turkev'ahd its
accompanying viands, have a headache
Friday in consequence, and return Mon.

Thursday, November 25, 1891,
The markets have remained nearly
stationary as far as general traffic is
concerned. Our merchants have been
busy filling orders for the' interior and
in local circles the usual activity is no
ticed. Thanksgiving season has brought
a good many delicacies to the front, and
a general feeling of satisfaction prevails
among purchasers in all sections. The
vegetable and fruit market is bet
ter supplied than " usual for this
season of the year and prices re
main without any, material change.
The wheat market has maintained a
firm tone throughout the past week and
a steady advance is noted. In Portland,
quotations have been more favorable to
the seller, and the demand for wheat
for shipment has increased, owing to
the fact that a large number of grain
vessels have arrived, and more are near
port, which require an immediate dis
patch. This, together with the ukase
issued by the Russian government, has
stimulated the market very perceptibly,
The Russian ukase, forbidding the ex
port of breadstuns from tne empire, in
tconnection with the - known fact tha
there-is a shortage of the food supply all
over the world, has startled - the great
grain centers, and prices must advance
through channels of speculation regard
less of the needs and impoverished con
dition of the sufferers. The following
clipping will give the situation as it ex
ists today, through which the future
shadowings are foretold:
Wood Davis, the Kansas statistician,
makes public statement of the world's
crop of wheat and rye, which shows that
with every bushel of these grains that
North America and other exporting
countries can possibly furnish there
will still be a shortage in the densely
populated European countries of 78,000,-
000 bushels of wheat and 305,000,000
bushels of rve.
To this deficit of 78,000,000 bushels of
wheat and 305,000,000 bushels of rye
should be added 21,000,000 bushels of
wheat, being the excess of American ex
ports over the average of recent years in
July and August, such excess going to
supplj the deficiencies of the last Euro
pean cereal year (as did the enormous
India exports), and not available as sup
plies to meet the requirements of this
cereal year. It is in nowise probable
says Mr. Davis, tnat either our crop or
the exports therefrom (during July and
August next) will exceed such recent
averages, and this seems the more prob
able when we reflect that the average
will not likely exceed the average, and
that present con ditions presage, if they
presage anything, a crop below the
average.

of the meeting. In u!e u'uavoiualle
absence of A. J. Dufur jr., his daughter,
Miss Annie Dufur, read the address of
welcome which was responded to by
Professor H. T. French, who embraced
the occasion to explain that the objects
of these institutes were in no sense
political, but entirely educational. The
general government had made a liberal
appropriation to establish and maintain
agricultural institutions in the several
states and from this appropriation the
Oregon Agricultural College receives
$32,000 for the current year. Of course
the state furnishes the grounds and
buildings. The institutes held this year
have been highly . appreciated by the
farmers and have been quite successful
and we hope that before long instead of
six we shall hold forty every year.
The college has a department of agri
culture, one for instruction in household
economy, one for .instruction in prac
tical and theoretical mechanics. It has
thirteen professors of the various
branches taught, and young men stu
dents can choose between an agricui
tural and a mechanical course.
A farm of 145 acres is attached to the
college which is devoted to experimental
and regular farming, We keep five or
six breeds of cattle, which we largely
feed on ensilage made on the" f3rm
Particular attention, is devoted to in
strnction in the best methods for des
trovine fruit pests, btudents are in-.
structed in every branch of theoretical
knowledge connected with farming
while the theory is put into practice by
practical work on the farm. At. the ex
periment station we test seeds and their
adaptitally to soil etc., we apply and,
test the various kinds of fertilizers study
the habits of insect pests and methods
of their extermination ; test the effects
of drainage and experiment on many
other things connected with practical
farming. Bulletins are issued occasion
ally giving the results obtained and these
are freely sent to any one who may apply.
At the close of the Professor's remarks
the choir entertained the audience with
a song entitled the "Merry Mountain
eer" which was rendered admirably.
Miss Peobody then gave a very good
rendition of "Match Boy," after which
Professor Berch Told read a very in
structive paper on poultry raising. An
interesting discussion followed in which
Dr. Vanderpool, Mrs. Wm. Heisler,
Dane Farrington, Seth Morgan and
others took part.
M. J. Anderson followed by reading a
poem entitled "Hayseed in the Air."
This was followed by two songs by the
pupils of the Dufur graded school and a
selection by the choir, and thus ended
the first session of the institute which
every one pronounced, so far, a success.
Her Hlh Pedestal.
New York, Nov.. 19. The Herald'
Valparaiso correspondent cables : "The
Chilian government has descended from
the lofty pedestal it so long occupied in
dealing with the outrageous assault by
the mob upon the sailors of the Balti
more. Captain Schley todajr received a
letter from Judge Foster, granting the
request that our representatives here be
furnished by the court, of inquiry with
copies of all despositions made before it
in the investigation. This same request
has been absolutely refused on all pre.
vious occasions. There is no doubt the
Chilian authorities reiected the London
Times' self-proffered advice through the
sensational correspondent, xnomson,
that the United States' reasonable de
mands be treated as a bluff and finding
our government maintaining a fair but
firm attitude determined to meet it half
way. I hear rumors that much specula
tion is indulged here and at Santiago as
to the reason for the dispatch of Ameri
can war vessels to the Pacific squadron.
There is no doubt the news had a salu
tary effect in Chili.
Louis.
St. Louis, Nov. 19. A series of start
ling tragedies occuired here , today.
Ernest Hickman, of East St. Louis, shot
his wife fatally and then committed
suicide. ' He had been on a protracted
spree. He was at one time a ball player.
At 3014 Easton avenue Gertrude and
Adelaide Durgin are lying at the point
of death from the effects of blows admin
istered by their brother, Charles, with
an iron poker this morning. Durgin at.
tempted suicide at Kansas City several
weeks ago. He had been afflicted with
St. Vitas' dance since babyhood. He
seems to have a mania to kill. The girls
will probably die. Miss Julia Abetz. a
school teacher, aged 25. committed
Euicide this morning while laboring
unaer a nt ot despondency.
Luckily no one Was Hurt.
Pittsburg, Nov. 24. A trunk con
taining dynamite exploded this evening
in the baggage car of the mail train on
the Pennsylvania road, as the train was
passing Irwin. The explosion wrecked
the trunk and tore a hole in the ceiling
of the car. A baggage man accidentally
dropped another trunk on the one con
taining dynamite. The trunk ' was
shipped from Philipsburg, Pa., bv
Mich?el Gody, a Hungarian, and was
bound for Cambridge, Ohio. He and
his wife was arrested at Pittsburg, and
he at first denied the trunk was his, but
when confronted with a picture of his
wife, found in the wreckage, he gave in.
He refused to explain why it contained
dynamite and was locked up.

only, on the second mortgage given to
secure the payment of the interest cou
pons. These 175 sheriffs sales brought
$44,025, but as the amount of the
judgements was $134,348, the farmers
that have been sold out are worth $99,
370 less than nothing. Either parts of
Kansas are too poor to support even
grasshoppers or the settlers have bor
rowed recklessly.
Now that the alliance is going the way
of all such spasmodic movements, here
is a bit of advice for the farmers who
feel that they are entitled to greater
representation in the control of the gov
ernment: Take the primaries of the
old parties in your own hands and see
that farmers are sent to the convention,
That done there will be no difficulty in
sending more larmers to the legislature
and congress. This would not exactly
suit the political farmers who have been
running the alliance into the ground
and perverting its benencent purposes
but it would be more satisfactory to the
agricultural larmers. bpokane Review.

how Mr. Moody could pay within four
cents of Portland prices for wheat, and
ship it to Portland over a road whose

has a right to pay as much as he pleases,
