Washington, . Feb. . 24. The . presi:
dential question still continues the topic
of discussion at the national capital, and
various opinions are' expressed as to the
ffect the final declaration of the Albany
convention for Hill will have. Chairman
Springer, of the ways and means com
mittee, who has generally been consid
ered heretofore an ardent supporter of
Cleveland, thinks now the action 'of the
Albany convention practically rules the
ex-president out of the race, and he
gives out to the press tonight, his declar
ation in favor of Gen. John Palmer for
president, which is believed to be a
move to head off the candidacy of
William E. Morrison, of Illinois. Mr.
Morrison is a member of the Interstate
commercecomniiseion. Owing to action
of the New York convention, and talk
in favor of some good western man, it
has been suggested that Morrison would
probably be Cleveland's heir when it
was found clearly impossible to secure
the support of the,New York delegation
t'or the ex-president.
Arizona In Meed vf Kaln.
Benson, Feb. 24. The absence of
rain for the next three weeks means a
serious blow to the cattle interests of
Arizona as the past year has been very
dry. Up to three weeks practically no
rain has fallen for nearly a year, and the
losses to cattle are larger than for the
past seven years. New grass has been
started by the recent showers, and if
rain falls during the next three weeks to
aid it, all will be well ; if not. the grass
will die and probably very few cows and
calves on the ranees, will survive , the
summer. The steers are hardier and
jiil not suffer so much.
' Held a Few Chips Hack: ' '
Tacoma, Feb. 24. The testimony has
been taken for several weeks in the set
tlement of the estate of Harry Morgan,
the notorious gambler and owner of a
gaming house and the Theater Comique.
The estate is valued at over $100,000, and
the widow alleges fraud on the part of
the administrator, C. P. Chamberlin.
Frank Cantwell, formerly connected'
with the gaming department, today in
testimony said that Mark Dilon, the
hief of police at the time of Morgan's
death, two years ago, had given Mor
gan's and other gambling houses im
munity from the police, and had gotten
one-fourth of the proceeds of all the
houses. Cantwell said this was com
mon talk among the gamblers. He said
that the place paid $30,0(10 per month.
Gold Exposed by Low Water.
New Westminster, Feb. 24. Water
in the Frazer river above Yale Canyon
is lower at present than in the memory
of the oldest Indian. The receding
water left theeaudbar exposed last week,
which is about two acres in size. The
bar had no sooner appeared than a num
ber of siwashes went over and pros
pected it, with the result that good pay
-was found. This created some excite
ment among other Indians, and some
fifty si washes are now hard at work on
the bar, all making big wages. As high
as $40 a day has been washed bv some of
them, and the gravel, it is said, would
vield rich returns if means were at hand
to work it scientifically.
Petitions Coining: In.
Washington, Feb. 24. Senator
Mitchell today presented to the senate a
petition from Albany, Jefferson, Cor
"valle9 and Eugene City, Or., and Orange.

Traffic Association of Calfornia, petition
ing congress to provide a guarantee for
the necessary funds to assist, protect
and hasten the completion of and to
wcure control of the Nicaragua canal.
Anarchists Arrested in 1'arls.
Paris, Feb. 24. The police have dis
covered a large quantity of dynamite
a! other explosives, with arms and in
fernal machines, in a house occupied by
anarchists, and a number of them have
been arrested, among whom was a Span
iard. The police place some credence in
the report that the anarchists intend to
blow up the Spanish embassy here, and
consequently have placed a guard about
. that building.
Not Fit For the Offloo.
Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 24. The com
mission of Deputy United States Mar
shal C. E. Bartholomew, Loomiston,
Okanogan county, was revoked today by
Judge Hanford, on the grounds Barthol
omew is a claim jumper; and for1 wbicb
offense he would have been lynched, it
is claimed, if he had not fld. ' Under a
misapprehension, i prominent gentle
man favored his appointment. He was
removed as numerously signed petitions
demanded it. -
A Trusted Man Gone Bad.
New Orleans, Feb. 24. Charles F.
Jnmenville, receiving teller of the Canal
bank, has absconded with $3000 of the
bank's funds. He was in the employ of
the bank thirty-two years and is of a
distinguished New Orleans family. He
is married and has eeveral grown-up
children. His accounts have been care
fully examined, but no other irregular
ity was discovered. Nothing has yet
been learned of his whereabouts.
Fond for Chicago.
Washington, Feb. 24. The president
sent a special message to congress on the
world's fair, speaking strongly of the pro
gress of the work, saying that $5,000,000
to $8,000,000 more seems necessary. He
.declined to make a special recommend
ation because of the want of data, bnt
said that liberality on the part of the
United States is due to the foreign gov
ernments who had so generously re
sponded. The Detective Tarns up.
Sax Francisco, Feb. 24. The sudden
disappearance of detective J. A. Brown,
who was such a prominent figure in the
Bell case, caused considerable comment,
bnt he departed for his home in Ohio.
Brown does not think he has violated
any order of the court in leaving at this
time. Should the case again demand
his presence here he says he will return,.
but if otherwise he has finished his
work and will remain in Ohio.'
Small Farm Preferred.
San Francisco, Feb. 24. C. P. Hunt
ington has instructed W. H. Mills, land
agent of the Central Pacific, to make
some large land purchases in the state,
Mr. Huntington writes: "We must
break up large land holdings in Califor
nia if we ever expect to make any great
success with our railroads. Ten thous
and acres in Northern California will
soon be purchased and sold in small lotsj
to farmers. Other large purchases will
follow."
A Fight Among Lawmakers.
St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 24. In the in
dustrial conference this morning Fred
Swayne, ex-member of the Missouri leg

ble horses were stolen from the stable of

$400 each. The robber is unknown.
Dispatches have been sent in all direc
tions for his apprehension.
Speaker Crisp's Friends Alarmed.
Washington, Feb. 24. Speaker Crisp
is a very sick man, and his condition
during tiie past few .days has given his
friends serious alarm. One of the
speaker's close personal friends admitted
today that he feared it would be a long
time before Judge Crisp would be able to
resume his speakership duties.
Fast Sailing; Voyage.
New York, Feb. 23. The passage of
the steamer Majestic, which arrived from,
Liverpool today, is, relative to distance,
the fastest ever recorded. She came
2,865 miles in 5 days, 20 hours and 22
minutes. This would have made ber
time on the short route 5 days, 15 hours,
54 minutes, the fastest time ever made.
Her average speed this trip was 20.41
knots per hour.
Sending Gold to Austria.
New York, Feb. 24. The German
steamer Spree, which left here yesterday,
took out $1,000,000 in gold. It is gen
erally understood to be for Austria.

tempt the task of forming a new cabinet.
;. deducing the Expenses.
Lisbon, Feb. 24. The senate has
passed the economy bills reducing the
expenditures and reorganizing the
finances of the government.
A Supreme Court Decision.
. Yesterday's telegraphic news reported
a decision of the supreme court in the
case of McLeod vs. Scott which was
carried up from Sherman county in
which the decision of the lower court
was affirmed. Some time ago Neil Mc
Leod applied in the usual regular way
to the county court of Sherman county
for a retail liquor license. The court re
fused the license holdiug that the law
was not mandatory. It was carried up
to the supreme court at Pendleton and
that court decided against the county
court's decision. McLeod ' sued out a
writ of mandamus but .Judge Boise,
presiding over the circuit court . of this
Judicial district, decided that a writ of
review was ihe proper remedy. This is !
the decision, so far as we can learn from
the meager telegraphic report, that has
jast been affirmed. McLeocTs attorney
at this place- thinks. the- decisidn
does not affect the question ' of
the ability of the plaintiff to compel
the County court of Sherman county to
grant the license demanded.

From the Agricultural College.
Corvallis, Or., Feb. 23, 1892.
Editor Chronicle:
Mr. Ernest Miller, whose illness I
mentioned last week, left this world to
try the realities of the next, between 9
and 10 p. m. Feb. 17th. The funeral
was conducted at the College about 9 a.
m. the next day by Dr. Thompson of
Corvallis. Of course there were no reci
tations and the students walked in a sad
company to the O. P., depot, bearing
with them the lifeless remains of their
highly esteemed schoolmate. The story
of a strong young man may be told in a
few words : "He came to college for an
education, but was taken home for
burial."
Mr. J. R. Mott of New York, general
secretary of Y. M. C. A., stopped at
Corvallis Thursday afternoon and organ
ized an association in the O. A. C.
The first state convention of the Col
lege Y. M. C. A., met in the State Cap
itol building at Salem, Oregon, Feb. 19,
1892. Following are the colleges repre
sented and number of "delegates from
each':' Albany Collegiate Institute 28,'
McMinnville College 17, Pacific College
16, Pacific University 17, Portland
Academy 8, Portland Univsrsity 22,
State Normal 30, State University 9, and
Willamette University 21 to 85. The
Alnmni of Princton, Williams, Wesleyan, '
Oberlin, Wheaton, North Western,
Bethany Penn., and several other col
leges were represented. There are 968
young men in the ten colleges that were
represented in the convention, 500 are
now students. The convention was
conducted by four young men from a
distance: J. R. Mott of Cornell Uni
versity; S. M. Sayford, of Boston;
Harry Hillard, college secretary of Cali
fornia and Jas. A. Dummett, traveling
secretary Pacific northwest.
Mr. Sayford gave his "confidential
talk to young men" Saturday evening in
the Assembly hall of the state capitol.
About 400 were present and of that
number fully 300 took the "higher ground
stand" promising to quit smoking cigar
arettes or give up some other bad habit
that is spoiling them.
Harry Hillard led the Sunday conse
cration service, in which prayer was of
fered by twenty different delegates, and
such songs as "I gave my life for thee,"
and "Just as I am without one plea,"
were sung by a packed audience.
I should like to write of the fourteen
young men who volunteered to be For
eign Missionaries, in' fact all about this
great conference of students, but I have
not the time to do so.
The following college presidents and
proffeESors made brief speeches ; Presi
dent McClelland of the Forest Grove
school ; President Stratton. of Portland
University; Prof. Shaw, of the State
Agricultural college; Prof. Jessup, of
Pacific , College ; Prof. Lee, of Albany
Collegiate Institute ; President Whitta
ker, of Willamette University; Presi
dent Bronson, of McMinnville College;
President Campbell, of the State Nor
mal, and, in the absence of a proffessor,
the State University was represented by
a student who was warmly applauded.
The chairman of the Executive com
mittee, the pastor of the M. E. Church
of Salem, and several others made short
speeches. When I say that Prof. Lee of
the Albany Glee Club led the music,
and that we all visited the Insane Asy
lum and State prison, I just ne well quit
tor this tune. Bunchgbass.
The records of suicides has scarcelv a
parallel to the case that happened at St.
Louis the other day, when Dr. Charles
T. Breedlove of Baltimore, committed
suicide because, as he said in a letter he
left behind him, his love for a friend
named Isaac Judson was beyond his con-
Urol and he found i
impossible to live
without him.

? How to Inculcate Gossiping.
If yon wish to cultivate a gossiping,
meddling, censorous spirit in yoor chil
dren be sure when they come home from
church, a visit or any other place where
yon do not accompany them, to ply them
with questions concerning what- every
body wore, how everybody looked and
what everybody said and did, and if yon
find anything in this to censure always
do it in their hearing. You may rest as
sured, if yon pursue a course of this kind,
tkey will not return to yon unladen with
intelligence, and rather than it shonld be
uninteresting they will by degrees learn
to embellish in such a manner as shall
not fail to call forth remarks and ex
pressions of wonder from you. You will
by this course render the spirit of curios
ity, which is so early visible in children,
and which, if rightly directed, may be
the instrument of enriching and enlarg
ing their minds a vehicle of mischief
which will serve only to make them nar
row and mean.
Bow to Polish Wood Carvings,
Scroll
Work, Ete.
Take a piece of soft and pliable wad
ding and drop on it white or transparent
or French polish, according to the color
of the wood. Then wrap this wadding
in one thickness of linen, holding it by
the surplus linen, so as to form a pad.
Touch the pad with two drops of linseed
oil. As the only object of the oil is to
make the pad work smoothly over the
wood very little should be applied at a
time. While using the pad on the scroll
work add another drop or two of oil and
then wet it in the polish as observation
may show it to be necessary.
How to Make Mother Eve's Pudding.
If yon would ha ve a good pudding, observe what
you're taught:
Take two pennyworth of eggs, when twelve for
the groat;
And of the same fruit that Eve had once chosen.
Well pared and well chopped, at leant half a
dozen:
Six ounces of bread (let your moid eat the
crust).
The crumbs must be grated and small as the
dust:
Six ounces of currants from the stones you must
sort.
Lest they break out your teeth and spoil all
your sport;
Five ounces of sugar won't make it too sweet:
Some salt and some nutmeg will make it com
plete; Three hours let it boil, without hurry or flut
ter. And then serve it up without sugar or butter.
Note A groat is fourpence, therefore two
pennyworth of eggs is half a o.ozeu.1
How to Rescue a Drowning Person.
A person in danger of drowning usn
ally becomes pauic stricken, and in such
condition is very dangerous to handle,
however strong may be the swimmer
who has gone to the rescue. A rescuer
who tackles a drowning person who has
lost presence of mind should not hesi
tate to knock the man or woman into in
sensibility. Then the rescuer will have
a chance to take the bnrden to shore.
If, however, he struggles with the drown
ing person in the water he will be very
apt to fail in his effort at rescue and also
run a great chance of losing his own life.
Having reached shore with the insen
sible person he or she shonld be placed
face downward on a barrel and rolled
back and forth, so as to force the water
ont of stomach and lungs and induce
respiration. The hands and feet should
also be rubbed vigorously so as to start
circulation, and these efforts should not
be relaxed until a medical man had pro
nounced it impossible to resuscitate the
victim. When animation has been suf
ficiently revived, the sufferer should be
given a plentiful dose of brandy.
How to Extinguish a Horning Chimney.
Shut all the doors and windows so as
to prevent any current of air, and then
throw a few handfnls of fine salt upon
the fire whether in grate or stove. The
philosophy of this is that in burning
salt muriatic gas is evolved, which is a
prompt extinguisher of confined fire.
How Mrs. Fry Ruled Her Conduct.
That- excellent Englishwoman Mrs.
Fry, who combined in her character and
conduct all that is truly excellent in
woman, formulated these rules: "1. I
never lose any time; I do not think time
lost which is spent in amnsement or
recreation some part of each day, but al
ways be in the habit of being employed.
2. Never err the least in truth. 3. Never
say an ill thing of a person when thou
canst say a good thing of him; not only
speak charitably, bnt feel so. 4. Never
be irritable or unkind to anybody. 5.
Never indulge thyself in luxuries that
are not necessary. 6. Do all things with
consideration, and when tby path to act
right is most difficult, feel confidence in
that power alone which is able to assist
thee, and exert thy own powers as far as
they go." .
How and When to Wear a Necktie.
Neckties, that is, narrow bands of
muslin, Bilk or satin, have gone ont of
use except for clergymen and other gen
tlemen when in evening dress. A clergy
man appears to be privileged to wear
either a white or bli&k necktie upon any
occasion. Bnt other persons who wish
to be in the fashion should never wear
them except when in evening dress, that
is, when the swallow tailed coat is put
on. And then the cravat should always
be of plain white muslin without any
embroidery on the ends. Sometimes
white satin or white silk neckties are
seen with this formal full dress. But it
is not good form, nor is it the proper
thing to wear black satin or silk neck
ties upon such occasions. In the sum-
mer, when conventional rules of - dress .
are much relaxed, a flowing necktie of
light material may be worn with a Mick
coat, bnt never with a coat with tails.
Ties already made up and to be buckled ,
over the' collar are considered to be very
bad form, and are therefore to be avoided.
, How to Relieve a Cat Bite.
Bind fat salt pork on the wound for a
day or until all the soreness is relieved.

THE LESDIIII
Of the Leading City of Eastern Oregon.
During the little over a year of its existence it
has earnestly tried to fulfill the objects for which it
was founded, namely, to assist in developing our
industries, to advertise the resources of the city and
adjacent country and to work for an open river to
the sea. Its record is before the people ani. the
phenomenal support it has
expression of their approval. Independent in every
thing, neutral in nothing, it will live only to fight
for what it believes to be just and right.
Commencing with the first number of the second

while the price ($i.50 a year) remains the same.
Thus both the weekly and daily editions contain
