value of the stolen goods at $14,000.

The weather prognostications for to
morrow are warmer, rainy. Mr. Brooks
tells us that the barometer is lower to
day than he ever saw it and still falling.
At 3 ::i0 it stood at 20.1(1. This indicates
a heavy storm, not necesHarily here, but
prolmbly on the coast.
Analurmol Dre about 4 :.'I0 yesterday
afternoon was caused by a small blaie at
Jos. T. Peters planing mill. The en
gines were called out, but a couple of
buckets of water had effectually subdued
the flames even before the alarm was
fairly turned in.
The "Uncle Tom's Cabin" troupe
was to arrive here on the freight from
Pendleton this afternoon, but the en
gine broke down at Blalocks, delaying
them so that they will not arrive before
6 o'clock. The play will not be Inter
fered with, and the curtain will rise
promptly on time.
The case of the State against Savage
was given to the jury last evening at
about 4 ;30. There seemed to I a gen
eral impression that the jury would fail
to agree, an Impression that the action
of the jury is justifying, as at the hour
of going to press they were still out.
There is a rumor that the jury is pretty
evenly divided, standing seven for cus
victiou and five for acquittal, but
whether there is any foundation for the
rumor it Is hard to say.
Yesterday in lotting a car down the
incline at the Cascade Locks the brakes
were taken off before the cable was
fastened to the car and it sped down the
incline, which has a fall of about one
foot in three at a mile-a-minute gait.
It struck the guard of the wharf boat near
the end cutting it off squarely. This
checked its force, somew hat, enough that
as it struck the pile at the foot of the In
cline it resisted the blow and threw
the car back on the bank by the side of
the river.

consequence the good old-fashioned
spare-ribs are abundant.
Circuit court is about over for the
term. There are a few writs of review
and some questions of law to lie decided,
but these will probably be cleared up so
that court will adjourn for the term to
morrow. Col. Siunott, who was summoned as
one of the grand jurors in the United
States court at Portland, was selected by
Judge Bellinger as foreman of the jury.
That be made no miHtake is evident
from the way the business was begun.
The !Sun says that five or six indict
ments were found the first day. and it is
sale to say that that grand jury with the
Col. at its head will run through such a
grist of work as w ill make the record
and break all previous ones.

and cannot be ousted until the legislature
meets'. Political disagreements are the
cause of the trouble.
Floyd Uarmou has sold bis pet bear,

exceedingly his departure.
The first meeting of the young people's
whist club was held taut evening at
hchanno's hall, entertained by Miss
Story. The club is composed of twenty
couples, and as the hall has a fine floor
for dancing, whicli will no doubt occupy
part of the evening, the club will of
course be a source of great enjoyment to
its members.
Mr. Brooks informs us that the report
from the weather bureau this afternoon
shows that the snow storm which began
shortly after noon, is general over the
Northwest. Snow began falling in Port
land about I" o'clock this morning. The

is plenty and all stockmen are prepared
to stand a hard winter.
Quite a number of immigrants arrived
here last night and are desirous of lo

reference to this event. Other details
of the program will be mentioned later.
Although there has been on two dif
ferent occasion a fall of a few draggling
flakes of snow, today is the first of the
season when it can properly be said that
"it snowed." About 1 o'clock the fleecy
flakes of the "beautiful," as large as a
monkey's paw, began to fall, the clouds
letting go all at once, and sending
down as pretty a lot of Mother Goose's
feathers as one would care to see.

Perpetually Happy.
Yesterday afternoon's downpour dis
pelled some of the homesickness old
Oregonians were afflicted with in conse
quence ol the protracted spell of sun
shine this state has been blessed with
this fall, and the streets, even during the
heaviest rain, presented an animated
appearance. Rain has no terrors for a
Webfoot ; in fact, at this season of the
year be feels uncomfortable without It
and the gentle (?) shower of yesterday
afternoon made everybody feel happy.

dlen Miller, In the December Forum.
With the division of the Mormons on
National party-lines, the renunciation of
their obnoxious creed, and the inaugura
tion of "the era of good feeling" in Utah,
there has been a' complete cessation of
proecutions for polygamy ; and numbers
of old-time offenders have resumed rela
tions with their "plural"' wives, with
practical immunity from punishment.
But the prop of polygamy, its social res
pectability and exaltation as a religious
virtue, has been Ukeu away. These old
polygamists visit their younger wives
precisely as a married man in an Eastern
community might consort w ith a mis
tress qnietly and stealthily, not openly
or boastfully as formerly. Their con
duct is under the ban of the Church,
and since it is no longer justified by a
religious principle, is regarded simply as
an affair of lust or of affection for former
associations too strong to withstand.
We find a close analogy to this condition
of things in the prohibition States
where, in spite of stringent laws, the old
toper undergoes any humiliation to se
cure his favorite beverage. Human na
ture does not differ greatly in New York,
Massachusetts, Kansas, or Utah. But,
with the passing away of the present
generation, the last vestige of polygamy
will disappear. No edict of the Church
could restore it. An insurmountable
barrier in the way of its resumption is
arising in the social amalgamation of
Gentiles and Mormons. Intermarriages
between the two classes have rapidly in
creased under the new conditions. With
in a decade, the distinguishing character
istics of Mormonism will be no stronger
in Utah than the distinguishing charac
teristics of Catholicism, Presbyterianism
or Methodism.
Hood Illeer Incorporated.
Hood River held an election yesterday
to decide if it should be incorporated.
Eighty-fonr votes were caat of which 49
were for and 35 against incorporation
The following officers were elected :
Mayor, C. M. Wolfard; councilmen,
8. E. Bartmess, F. II. Button, O. B.
Hartley, L. E. Morse, J. E. Rand and J.
F. Watt ; recorder, C. P. Heald ; treas
urer, M. II. Nickelsen ; marshal, E. S.
Olinger.
We are pleased indeed to see the spirit
of progress evinctd by onr thrifty little
neighbor. In spite of a strong opposi
tion incorporation was carried by a
handsome majority. The fears of those
opposed to the measure, that there
would be great expense following incor
poration we believe are utterly ground
less. There will be some expense, it is
true, but there will be vast benefits.
Grades can be established, so that he
who desires to build will know where to
place his building. The water supply of
the town can be acquired, and hundreds
of other things necessary to the growth
of the town can be accomplished. Hood
River w ill grow more rapidly than any
town in Oregon for the next ten years,
and she is incorporated none too soon.
May she grow and prosper until the
whole beautiful slope whereon she rests
is a buey mart of trade, is the earneet
and honest wish of The Chronicle.
S.ott and Soreneoat Arrested.
The Portland Sun this morning says:
"On complaint of I. R. Birt, formerly
manager of the now defunct Cape Horn
Telegraph Company, Harvey W. Scott,
of the Oregonian, and A. Sorenson, man
ager of the Telegram, were yesterday
arrested on a charge of criminal libel
and marched to the Mount Tabor justice
court as any ordinary prisoners. Upon
paying their respects to the court the
two prisoners were released. upon their
own recognizances to answer to charge
at 10 o'clock this morning.
The article upon which the charge of
libel is predicted appeared in the Even
ing Telegram about a month ago. In
it, 10 Birt alleges, appeared false and
malicious statements against him and
Mrs. Johnson, a telegraph operator for
merly in his employ, with whom he was
alleged to have eloped.
It is understood that Mr. Scott will
prove an "alibi" on the ground that he
is not counected with The Telegram and
has no control over its management.
Mr. Soreneon'i defense will be a lack
of intent, as he claims that the article
was received in good faith and published
as a news item.
The case will no doubt prove an in
teresting one and may lead to some de
velopment not jet down on the pro
gramme.
At the I'BMsdi Locks.
Work at the Cascades on the canal
and locks is being pushed more rapidly
and successfully than ever. Between
400 and 500 men are at work constantly.
Above the upper bulkhead the outer
wall is now under way ; the trench is
completed ; a foundation of Beven feet of
concrete has len laid, and on top of
this several courses of stone are in place.
The trench next the shore is about com
pleted, and the wall w ill soon be under
way there. The lower end-walls are
also being put in good shape, and in a
few weeks w ill be well along and in con
dition to be completed quickly. An im
mense derrick is being put iu place for
handling the gates, one of which is on
the ground ready to be put together.
Sections ol r.nother of the gates arrived

May a Man
Conduct Ills
He Mease?
Kuslliesv As
A great many valuable lessons will be '
learned from the Chicago strike. While j
studying its phases, its origin, its course j
and its close, two very( far-reaching'
ethical-economic questions have been j
constantly in my mind. These are 1
1. Shall a man conduct his own j
business in his own way? j
2. Shall the savings of labor be con-1
sidered a reserve from which labor must 1
draw, in order to enable it to subsist I
during periods cf depression or of adver
sity, while the reserve of capital is kept
practically intact under like circum
stances, or, if drawn upon at all, in lees
measure than labor draws on its savings?
Society has long since answered these
queetions in some important particulars.
It says to the property-owner, the man
ufacturer: "You must not so conduct
your business as to injure the property
of your neighbor, nor must yon conduct
your business in such a way as to injure
the health of your neighbor. No prop
erty owner can do anything that will
interfere with the rights and privileges
of bis neighbor, whether theBe rights
and privileges come nnder the head
of right to freedom from injury
to property, or the privilege of liv
ing without damage to health." But
the question which is much more far
reaching, and which will inevitably be
answered by society, relates to condi
tion of men rather than to their material
surroundings; and this question is:
"Shall a man or a corporation who
does not, or is not able to, conduct his or
its affairs so as to avoid public disturb
ance, obstruction of trade, loss of wages,
or the lowering of the standard of living,
be free from the interference of society?"
Forum.
Sorry That rthe Ppoke.
"It is curious how people can make
mistakes. A short time ago a young
lady, not very many miles from Eugene,
was troubled with a boil about three
fourths of an inch above the elbow of
her knee. It grew so bad that she
thought it necessary to call a doctor,
but as the family doctor was a single
man she shuddered at the thought of
showing the boil to him. The mother
suggested one of the other resident phy
sicians, who were all old married men,
but the father kicked. He said it would
make the young doctor mad. The
young lady saw a way out of the diffi
culty. She reported that one of those
traveling doctors who had been coming
to town regularly for a long time was in
town, and she saw him pass with his
medicine case that afternoon. It was
agreed that they would watch for the
specialist and rail him in. A sharp
lookout was kept, and suie enough
long he came. He was called in and
the young lady very modestly exhibited
ber boil. The stranger, rather curiously
for a doctor, looked at it and remarked :
"Well, that's too bad." "Well, doctor,
what shall I do?" The stranger tum
bled. He smiled a smile and replied :
"Get a doctor; I'm a piano tuner."
Cottage Grove Leader.
Bald Nothing. Neither Hawed He.
The city marshal had one indiscreet
gentleman in tow this morning, and
allowed him to exercise himself at the
city woodpile, for a little while, having
him leave his coat in the office in the
meanwhile. Being left to himself for a
few moments the gentleman said nothing,
neither did he saw wood, but looking at
the case from all sides he concluded he
preferred the wild freedom of the brake
beam, and the free air of the Wasco
mountains to the ignoble contact of the
bucksaw, aud the home comforts of the
city jail. Hence scorning the city's hos
pitality, turning in loathing from the
woodpile, he dropped a tear or two as he
thought how the good marshal's heart
would Meed at his breech of faith, and
fl-.-d. F10111 the wheneenees of the
present Into the misty wherefore of the
future he slipped and was lost. And he
never returned.

Coroner's Inquest.
Patrick Farrell died at the Columbia
hotel last night of heart failure. Coroner
Butts summoned a jury which returned

has two daughters, their whereabouts al
this time being unknown. That he waa
a discharged soldier of the U. S. and
served as a private in Company G, 14th

The Bavag-e Verdict.
The jury in tha Savage case, some
what contrary to expectations, after be
ing out so long, brought in a verdict last
night finding defendent guilty of larceny
only, and fixing the value of the stoles
property at $14,000. He was indicted
for larceny from an office, and bad the
jury found him guilty as charged, the
maximum penalty for the offense would
have been seven years. Tne penalty
under the verdict as given has a larger
time, being ten years. 1 here is a gen
eral feeling of satisfaction with the ver
dict, the public being almost unani
mous in Savage's guilt. Besides, there
is a feeling that the fair reputation of
the city was in the hands of the jnry
and that it has not suffered thereby.
Cimrl Notes.
The following business was transacted
by the circuit court today :
The Schmidt Label Co. vs. I. N. TafTe,
in process of settlement.
State vs. Broadbent, motion to dismiea
overruled and defendant remanded t
the custody of the sheriff to await the
action of the next grand jury. The
amount of the bond in this case has not
yet been fixed.
State vs. E. Martin, motion to quash
indictment, argued and submitted.
All jurors except those engaged in try
ing the Savage case were discharged for
the term.
It Was Kver Thus.
The Fossil Journal of a recent Issue

football continues to grow. New balls
have been ordered, and next week
ground w ill be laid off and goal posts
erected on the old baseball grounds.
Every new athletic sport always goes by
storm. Tearing up the old baseball
grounds is not quite so bad as the east
ern town when the baseball fever struck
it. They had to have a crack pitcher
and mortgaged the church building to
get money to pay bis salary. We liavu't
heard of anything quite so bad in Ore
