HOW IT W AS RECEIVED
Beading the Message in tie Senate and
House.
PART OF IT THOUGHT SARCASTIC.
Republicans Were Attentive, but the
Democrats Were Listless.
6ALLIBIE8 WERE WELL CROWDED
The Spanish Minister and the First Sec
retaries of the German and Bosnian
Legations Being Present.
Washington, Dee. C In the senate
as soon as the secretory finished reading
the journal a messenger handed him the
president's message, which he proceeded
to read. The commercial and business
statistics given in the first part of the
message and the sarcastic paragraphs as
to the supposed effect of a tariff for rev
enue seemed to meet general approval
on'the republican side of the chamber.
They attracted but little attention on
the other side. During the reading the
democratic senators for the most part
were chatting listlessly with each other
or attending to their correspondence
while the republican senators paid the
president the compliment of giving him
undivided attention. The various other
subjects discussed in the message, how
ever, seemed to have very little interest
for the senators on either side. The
democrats made no pretenseof listening.
and the attentions of the republicans
showed a marked falling off. Seats in
the diplomatic gallery were occupied
throughout-the reading of the message
bv the Spanish minister and the firs
secretaries of the German and Russian
legatione.
THE MKSHAGK IN THI HOUSE.
The house met at noon. The chaplain
in his oraver feelingly alluded to the
president's late bereavement.
Kay nor introduced a bill for the better
protection of commerce, and to establish
a nation quarantine ; referred.
A messenger from the White House
then appeared with the president's mes
saee. which the clerk at once began to
read.
The reading of the message met with
but little attention. Many members
left the hall, preferring to study the rec-
ommendations of the president at leisure
at home. Those who remained entered
into conversation or devoted themselves
to a perusal of the newspapers.
At the conclusion of the reading the
message was referred to the committee
of the whole.
Mysterious Disappearance.
Santa Rosa, Oal., Dec. 6. John
Champion, secretary of the Cloverdale
wine company, one of the largest wine
firms in Sonoma county, has mysteri
ously disappeared. He left his? house
Saturday. Nov. 26th, and nothing has
been heard from him since. It is re
ported he was short between $10,000 and
$15,000 in his accounts. The last time
he was seen he was on his way to San
Fraucieivj. He has always borne a good
reputation, and there are several theo
ries to account for his disappearance.
S1LVEB TOOK A FALL.
Sliver Certificates at New York Sold
82.
at
New York, Eec. 5. Although noth
ing was - announced in this city today
from the, silver conference except the
withdrawal of the Rothschild plan, pri
vate London cables to bankers reflected
little belief in any agreement. There
was a sudden rush to sell silver bullion
certificates on the stock exchange and
200,000 and 300,000 ounces sold at a de
cline of 2 cents an ounce, the heaviest
.break since last spring. The low price
of silver today is only half a cent per
ounce above the lowest price on record.
A Warning.
Goldendale Sentinel. ' W. A. Hender-
son is under sentence of death at Oregon
City. No earthly power can intervene
to save the unfortunate young man. A
fair and impartial trial resulted in a
verdict of murder in the first degree,
and the penalty thereof is death. In
his sad case is another example of the
evils that result from strong drink. The
number of young men who are yearly
going to wreck through the evils of in
temperance are too many, and it is
evident that something must be done to
call a bait. It is quite likely that had
Mr. Henderson never in any way been
tainted with strong drink he would
havtSeen a useful man. It is hoped
that his sad fate will turn some erring
young man into the paths of honor.
Heavy Snow Storm. -
London, : Dec, 7. The . great snow
storm that was raging throughout this
country and Scotland , Monday and
Tuesday still continues.. Railway travel
is much impeded by the great depth of
snow, and in some places trains .are
blocked, and passengers are rescued
with difficulty.

Probably most of those who nave bad
these experiences will . have to confess
that while in the first tlush of posoes
sion all was joyful excitement yt in a
sbort time that feeling gave way to a
calmer and more dispassiouate view of
its value. Certain liiiws and defects
that would have been utterly scouted

Mr Philip Hamertou. speaking of the

instances to match this both in public

Sea.
Marshfield, Or., Dec. 7. News has
just been received from the headwaters
of Coos river that John Macklebriuk, a
prominent citizen and pioneer of this
county, was shot and instantly killed
last evening. Two brothers, Herman
and Erick Peterson, were quarreling
when Macklebriuk interfered,- and the
only shot that took effect killed him.
It is supposed that he was trying to
separate the two brothers. Although
six shots were fired, and it is not known
which one of the brothers killed Mackle

scene with Justice Jennings and a jury
to hold an inquest.
ON TRIAL FOB MURDER.
The Eddon Case at Bprague Progress
ing Slowly.
Si'Baguk, Wash., Dec. 6. The trial of
W. C. Eddon for the murder of Peter
Myers last spring is progressing slowly.
Three days were consumed in selecting
iury. Each candidate was - asked
whether he was an Odd Fellow and he
was excused on an affirmative answer.
Eddcu is ah Odd Fellow and Judge
Mount is also one. He absented him
self on this account. The ante-mortem
statement of Myers, the testimony of
Mrs. Meyers and the attending doctor,
Burrell C. Nygard, who was present
when Myers made his will, and Car
letch, the only eye witness, have been
received. The case will probably no
go to the jury before Saturday.
Another China Steamer.
Tacoma, Dec. 6. The Northern Pacific
Steamship Company has chartered the
Flintshire for the third permanent
steamer to ply on the Hue between
Tacoma and the orient. She is a 4,000
ton, l1) knot modern ship, built at Fair
field works, Glasgow, in 188S. She
takes the place of the steamer Zambesi,
which is to be placed on the Puget
sound-Honolulu line, aud will leave
Hong Kong on the first trip early in
January.
Lying Awake Nights. ..
Telegram. Now is the time when
members of the next legislature are
lying awake nights conjuringup schemes
by which they can make themselves
famous. In the day-time they are de
voting their spare energies to drafting
bills which will bear their names, and
possibly become laws. Who ie the man
who is equal to. the registry-law ques
tion? That's a vital' query that friends
of ah honest ballot want to see answered.
PARK TO THR FAIR.
Will he Just Half of the Present Round
-trip Cost. v
San Francisco, Dec. 7. T. H. Good
man, general passenger agent of the
Southern Pacific company, who has just
returned from a conference of passenger
officials at Chicago, says that, while
nothing definite was decided upon at the
conference about the fare to the Chicago
world's fair, it was certain that the
round trip from here would be $70,
which is the present single fare. His
company had already informed corres
pondents in China, Japan, Central and
South America aud elsewhere that such
would be the rate, and tbe company
would stick to its promises in tha. re-
I spect. Mr. White, of the Santa Fe, was
also in favor of the same rate, likewise
Mr. Fee, of the Northern Pacific was in
favor of making the price of a single trip
the cost of the round trip from all points
west of the Missouri river. He thought
that all the western lines were in favor
of the $70 rate from here.-
Objects of Charity.
The Kings daughters are doing a
righteous thing for four motherless chil
dren, here in the city. Their mother
died a couple of years ago, or so, and
they were left almost friendless, as it
was not known that such was the Case
uutil incidentally they were discovered
by some friends. As soon as known the
"Daughters" took the children under
their charge and are preparing suitable
wearing . apparel for them. Judge
Blakeley ot the county court has given
the ladies all the assistance necessary in
providing material for clothing, shoes
and stockings. ' When they - are . fitted
out with these comforts they will be
sent to the Boys and Girls Aid society in
Portland, where they will be provided
with homes.
AN ITALIAN OVEH-
i
ClontrlTanoes That Prevent Dost, auuU
and Other Annayaneee.
When the Italian cooking apparatus is
used, neither dust. dirt', .gas, smoke,
heavy cake- soggy potatoes nor explo
sions ruffles tempers. It is neither range
ooi. simply stove. It looks Like a tab
covered with shining tiles of blue and
white porcelain. It is a trifle high, and
tn order to operate it to the' best advan
tage it is best to stand on a little foot
stool or platform Under the stove is a
semicircular closet reaching up to about
half its height and holding from one to
three sacks (about four bushels) of char
coal. On the top are one, two or three
openings -tittle square, boxlike grates,
sinking perhayis four or five inches and
about eight inches square. CJnder the
grate are receptacles with doors for
ashes, and in the center is a larger re
ceptacle for heuting dishes.
Over the stove and about half way up
the wall is a canopy, shaped like the
stove at the bottom, but gradually nar
rowing to the top at the front and side
until it is almost tunnel shaped, where
it joins the chimney, is an opening into
the chimney about the size of a very
small stovepipe There is always
good draft without dumpers.
' For boiling, a few bits of cane are put
in the square or grate over which the
kettle or the saucepan is to be placed;
then a shovelful of charcoal is put over
the canes, a light is applied and, if you
are iu a hurry, over the hole is put a cu
rious contrivance very Like a stovepipe,
perhaps two feet high, with a funnel at
the top, a contrivance that is express! veTy
known in Italian as '"il diavolo!" possibly
because it starts the fire in such a mar
velously short time.
If the articles to be boiled are vegeta
bles, the . kettle is placed directly over
the grate, and "il diavolo". is laid upon '
the shelf above. If, however, some
thing more delicate is to be cooked, a
tripod about three inches high is put
over the grate and the boiler is placed on
that, so that there is not even a possi
bility of burning or scorching: then a
circle of coals is put on tbe outside of
the stove about the 'boiler, which is
tightly covered. It takes from twenty
tn unites to half an hour to cook this j
way. and everything cooked is cooked i
all over
For baking, the preliminary prepara- I
tious are the same, but the dish hold
ing the mixture is placed in an outer
dish of block tin. and over it is put that
wonderful magician, the " "foruo di
campagna,' that locks like a peck or
a' half bushel measure, according to its
size, made of sheet iron and inverted.
There is an opening at one side, up
which slips the handle of the baking tixi
or the saucepan, aud over which the
form shps. settling firmly down oo the
stove.
Under the dish that contains the ma
terial to be baked is the charcoal tire in
the grate; about it glowing coals are put
and replenished before the glow dies out,
aud on top of the "foruo" more glowing
coals are placed and treated in the same
way Everywhere there is an equal dif
fusion of beat. Mince pies, sponge cake,
custards, bread and turkeys are browned
perfectly The "forno" wasn't invented
by an Italian, but by a Frenchman, and
it would be quite possible to use it with
our charcoal stoves. New Vork Sun
. Scotland and the Thistle.
The thistle was selected as the national
emblem of Scotland in the year 1010. It
was during the reign of Malcolm I that
a notable invasion of the country was
made by the Danes. They came in
thousands, and lauding on the coast
swarmed over the inhabited districts
like locusts, destroying, burning and
plundering wherever they went For
safety the inhabitants tied to the castles j
and fortified towns, and among the most
notable of tbe fortresses of Aberdeen
shire was Staine's castle, where were
collected a large number of, people of
the neighborhood The Danes projected
a surprise Approaching the cast!: in
the darkness they planned to scale ltf
walls, and laid aside their shoes that the
greater secrecy might be observed when
drawing near to tbe fortifications.
The surprise might have been success
ful had it not beeu for the fact that, on
descending into the dry moat, they
found, to their great discomfiture and
mortification, it was filled with thistles,
by which their feet were so severely
pricked that -several made an outcry,
which arou.-ied the defenders of tbe castle
and brought them to the wall in time to i
repel the onset. Regarding their good -
fortune in repelling the Danes as due to
the thistles, these plants were immedi
ately placed in the arms of Scotland and
adopted as the emblem of the country.

or Swallow-Tall Affair.
Topeka, Kan., Dec. 7. It had been
proposed by the people here to have an
inaugural ball when Governor-elect
Lewelling was placed in office, but tbe
governor opposed it, and a mass meeting
of populists called to decide upon the
inaugural ceremony adopted these reso
lutions last night:
"Resolved, That the recent political
victory was won by the plain people of
Kansas, and was a victory against mam
mon worship in all its forms was, in
truth, .but one battle in the irrepressible
conflict between the people and that
greed which finds its most luring expo
nent in society, with its ostentatious
display of power to spend money for
trifles, while those who have earned it
starve. Inaugural ceremonies carried
on by fashionable society, and under its
ostentatiousness of dress and expense,
wonld be exceedingly inappropriate and
highly distasteful to all friends of genuine
social and political reforms; and further
"Resolved, That the plain people of
Kansas, who elected the new state offi
cers, cannot look but with anxiety upon
any indication that th: officers have sub
mitted to the allurements of that fash
ionable society which represents all tbe
enemies of the common people, and,
J ""J"! wealth gained by monopoly,
I constitutes a dangerous lobby about the
uiuiaie iii uihjt uouure m its luesues ;
therefore .
"Resolved, That we "are opposed to
any ball as a part of the ceremonies of
inauguration.' '
Frank H. Herald, a populist legisla
tor, said he had just come from an in
terview with Mrs. Lease, and that she
favored a country dance, but was '"dead
set" against any low-neck and swallow
tail affair. This announcement was ap

Cars of The Powdered Grain Arrive
v Portland.
A special train loaded with the finest
flour ever milled in the Northwest ar
rived in Portland Tuesday, after having
been whirled with a speed almost equal
to a passenger train along the rocky
gorge of the Columbia river past tbe
cascades and into the seaport from the

Washington. It

with tbe China-bound .vessel.
The shipment consists of 2,000 barrels,
and the combined weight of the consign

iu which to store tbe flour, and was
shipped from Spokane. This is not the
first shipment that has been made to
tbe Celestial empire of flour milled
from the superb wheat grown in East

The Uallra Markets.
Thursday) Dec. 8th. The Dalle
markets are completely demoralized..
Business has unexpectedly shut dowa
and everything is seemingly lifeless.
The roads are bad and the farmers ar
busy plowing and sowing winter grain,
so that the streets look quite abandoned
by them. '
There is no materia! change in quota
tions on anything, unless it be in fat
beef cattle. There has been a slight ad
vance over former quotations, and it is
expected that as the season advances
there will be a better inquiry for prim
beeves. There is no doubt but the holi
day requirements are provided for witla
something very fine in tut meats, and the
last of Jan. to the lriiriil'a nf Foh m il,.
first of March prices will have reached,
the maximum, at which time extreme
may be realized. The large buyers hay
gone into Idaho and Washington for
their supplies, purposely . to save th
reserves of uear home stall-feds, for spe
cial demands or requirements, and thos
will be held as long as the market will
stand it. Should a severe winter with
deep snows be our lot, an emergency
may exhaust the reserve and then fancy .
prices will be realized.
Mutton sheep, that is to say, extra
good are scarce and former quotations
are firm.
In the hog or pork market there is but
little known, save that pork, bacon,
hams and shoulders are dearer, and th
inipreasion'prevails by our merchant
that that staple will rule firm during the
