him sign one of the most complex affi-
davits ever prepared in this county.
A bill patterned after the North Caro
lina liquor bill passed the house in the

ing liquors in the hands of officers ap
pointed by the. state. (

ent O'Brien, Master Mechanic Graham,
Chief Engineer Kennedy, General Road

Senator George Turner of Washington
advocates the election of United States

every, man who knows George Turner
- Agrees with that gentleman for once.

The arrangements for the inaugura

' tbe last act of a comedy, says the Riddle
Mite. A sample of tbe product was

The new law passed by congress to
prevent the sale of intoxicating liquors
to Indians is a stringent one. Tbe mini
mum fine is $100 and costs, and farther
provides that tbe offender shall be im
prisoned until the fine and costs are paid.
As the man who sells liquor 'to Indians
is generally a hobo, and con Id not raise
$100 in 100 -years,' the sentence would
virtually be imprisonment for life.
It may be some satisfaction to those
who failed to pass the teachers' examin
ation, to know that at all tbe other ex
aminations held in the state, tbe reeult
was about the same as in Ibis county,
about two-thirds of the applicants fail
ing. In Umatilla county there were
thirty-live applicants,- arid only eleven
passed, and of six trying for first grade
all failed. The examination was an ex
ceptionally severe one. '

Old Cariosity Shop," in London, is now
being torn down to make room for more
modern buildings.
Mr. F. W.' Wilson's trunk got into tbe

ing the fact that it was worthy of spe
cial mention in the columns of tbe city
press. x
The state school superintendent put
up a bard examination for teachers this

fourteen applicants and only three
Eggs are down to two dozen for a

. The regular meeting of the Oregon
legislature, any and all houses, will take
.place at the Yogt Tuesday night, Feb
23d, at 8 o'clock. This is going to be an
occasion that will be long remembered,
and if you miss it you will always have
something to regret.
Monday being the anniversary oi the
birth of the father of this country, no
school will be held on that day. Of
coarse the school children are all
mourning because this is so, bat as they
can't help it, they will submit as cheer

Riddell and Martha Schooling. Closing
song.
J. L. Kelley has three carloads of cat
tle and Mr. Willard of La Grande two
of cattle and one of hogs, which will all
be shipped in tbe morning to Omaba.
Thera has' been an unusual demand for
cattle', thia winter, and the country has
been pretty well stripped of them.
Those mentioned are being taken back
as feeders, and will help use up some of
the cheap corn of Nebraska before they
are killed; "
The Salvation' Army band was out
this afternoon with a banner containing
an-'enlarged1' photograph of bis Satanic
majesty, tbe devil. Tbe original photo
graph ia from . a selection owned by
Jonathan Bourne, arid is said to be true
to nature. Whether- tbe- army- has
switched, or whether tbe winged picture
of the master of eheol ia only to show
the gentleman, who is to be given bis
due, is one of tbe things we know not.
The man with the big drum seemed to
be immensely proud of the banner' and
cast ' affectionate glances at tbe photo,
thereon. v
' In' a lectnre before'the" winter school
for the farmers at tbe agricultural ' col
lege at Pullman last Friday, Professor
C. V. Piper, of the college, announced
that tbe experiments made with ground
squirrels at the experiment station- last
year bad resulted in tbe discovery of a
disease which it is thought pin be intro
duced successfully among the animals in
their native state and promises to solve
tbe squirrel problem.' Tbe disease germa
were secured first from specimens of dis
eased squirrels sent to tbe station dur
ing the summer from the western part
of tbe county, where the disease killed
the animals off by the thousands in
Jane and July.

About a dozen members of tbe legisla
ture are sick. They will have a speedy
recovery after today.
A " man named Charles Mesplie has
been been. arrested, at Pendleton,' who is
a versatile fellow. He is charged with
stealing a wagon, a. bike and a dog, the
stolen articles all belonging to different
persons. -.'-.. .
John Mclntyre was examined by Dr,
Hollister and Recorder Phelps thia
morning as to bis sanity, and was found

A small band bill received from. Port
land last night announces that there wifl
be an opposition steamer on the river,
commencing her rati on the 22rid. The
steamer ia the Pilgrim,' and she will car
ry only passengers and fast freight. .'.'
Dr. Sutherland has quite a rarity in
the line of Indian basket work, in the
shape of a parse. It is large enough to
bold $20 in silver, is in tbe shape of a
little barrel, with a lid that ties down,
and bandies by which it can be tied to a
belt.
We import sugar to tbe value of $100,-
000,000 yearly and export wheat to pay
for it, and yet here in Oregon the aoil
and climate are peculiarly adapted to
growing sugar beets. Good times will
come when we go to raising all our abso
lute necessaries such as sugar.
An advertisement, in The Chboniclb
always accomplishes the desired result.
A short time ago the big cat, "Bob,"
wandered away from the Snipea-Kiner-sly
drugstore. After a few days absence
a notice was inserted in thia paper stat
ing that be was wanted at home, and
the next day "the cat came back."
A large number of hopyarda around
Gervais, in Marion county, reported as
out of bearing, were simply let run wild
last year, and are now being brought
back into cultivation in the hope ot
better prices ruling this year. One
hundred and sixty-four bales of bops in
the Brooks section, near Gervais, were
sold thia week. This sale cleans out all
of the hops in that vicinity.
Under the constitution it' requires a
joint resolution of both bouses to adjourn
tbe legislature. As there is no bouse re
cognized by the senate, the question
arises, "bow will it adjourn?" As loDg
as it is not getting paid the country will
not bother itself about it, in fact, will be
highly pleased if it continues to keep Joe
and Jonathan at Salem.' One would
think they would get tired of staying so
near the pen.
Tbe farm house and barn of M. G.
Naylor, was de8troyed by fire Wednea- (
day night about 11 o'clock:. Mrs.' Nay
lor and children were at home, her hus
band telng in The Dalles. She was
awakened by smoke and at once saw
that the house was in flames beyond
saving, and that the barn, some 200 feet
distant, was also on fire. She rushed to
the barn and released the horses.
Everything else was destroyed by the
fire. How it originated is not known,
There is a small insurance on the barn.
Goldendale Sentinel. j
Charles Estes and William Merrill
have found the den of a bear at Han
son's furry, in Okanogan county. ' It is
supposed to be tbe winter quarters of
the big grizzly that baa been of some
expense to the stockmen of that section
by reducing their herds. Tbe bea
one of the largest ' of its kind, and a
measurement taken of the imprint of
ita foot made in dry, loose soil was
fourteen inches long and eleven inches
across tbe beel. An effort is to be made
to capture brain now, since bis winter
borne baa been found.
A recent traveler in London states
that in the bouse of Fagin, of Dickens
fame, tbe kitchen yet remains precisely
aa need by tbe celebrated Jew, Tfie
room in which be taught "Oliver Twist"
and his friends to play the "little game"
in which the "Merry old Gentleman" so
delighted, has been somewhat altered by
more recent occupants. One great
charm of Dickens' books lies in the fact
that most of the houses in w bich tbe
scenes be so vividly portrays were enact
ed, are still standing, many of them just
as they were originally built, and can be
readily found by the tourist along Fleet
street. ;
There was. a little scene enacted in the
lobby of the Hotel Olympia, just after
tbe fusion caucus had declared for
Tamer on Thursday night last, that the
papers have given very imperfectly.
After the result of the caucus had be
came known Judge Turner was given an
informal reception, and after the hand
shaking made a' speech to the crowd.
He was followed by Frank Graves,
Speaker Cline arid others. At length
there was a call for State Senator Plum
mer, of Spokane, who on attempting to
make a speech, Was interrupted by J. T.
Brown, who shouted : "How much did
you get, Plummerr" It broke rlam-
mer's speech ap. Brown was cairied
oat, still ' demanding information as to
Plammer'8 price. It is still unan

- A Water Hani.
Our reporter took in tbe East End
this morning, as usual, and found
even that generally busy part of town
stagnant. The warehouses are doing
but little, just waiting for the 'wool sea
son to commence.- The stockyards had
five carloads stock of cattle for shipment
ana that was all; joe worsley was
good natnred as usual; Murchie waa
running baggies out on tbe sidewalk to
give bia place the appearance of busi
ness ; Collins waa smiling a retrospective
smile as be thought of Fred Wilson's
trunk ; Skibbe was taking a son bath ;
Saltmarshe, ditto ; Justice Filloon was
sitting on the small of bis back with bis
feet on the stovepipe. At tbe depot
Ross was checking op papers, and Miss
Enrigbt demareily cogitating on railroad
officials, special cars, cattle trains and
other evidences of approaching spring,
Ed. Howell was insisting that he did not
ornament the trunk yesterday, and that
a certain pretty, young lady who
answers to the name of May did. . At
Pease & Maya the work of remodeling
waa going on, the immense store being
still littered ap, bat doing . business as

Be Bills Cats In the Pulpit. -
The announcement that tbe Rev. W,
L. Laufman, assisted by Dr. C. E,
Miller, would kill two cats in tbe pulpit
of tbe Methodist church at Cadillac,
Mich., to illustrate Laufmao's sermon
on tobacco, was sufficient to pack tbe
church. Prominent on the pulpit were
packages (of finecat and plug chewing
tobacco. Holding alott a pound plug of
tobacco, be assured bia hearers that it
contained enough grains of nicotine to
kill 200 men. Then tbe catB were
brought op by Dr. Miller. An assistant
held tbem while the doctor administered
tbe. nicotine. The first one died in a
minute and a ball, while tbe attendant
held it, and three drops of nicotine were
placed on its . tongue. The next cat, a
large one, was administered only two
drops, the purpose being to illnstnte
tbe sickness and spasms which tbe first
dose of tobacco creates. A second dose
of two drops and in a minute and a
quarter tbe cat was dead. , The Rev,
Laufman announced that on next San
day he would kill some more cats to
show the effect of alcohol, and also have
on exhibition the stomach of a
drunkard. .
B-alles-Moro-Antelope.
A new stage line will be inaugurated
in and oat of Moro Monday, March 1st,
connecting with The Dalles-Moro line,
forming an entirely new route long and
sadly .needed, connecting Tbe Dalles
with Antelope. The promoters of this
new line, Messrs. Douglas Allen and L.
D. Holder . are well-known citizens,
abundantly qualified ' for successfully
carrying out any enterprise of this char-
acter.in which they may become inter
ested. The time-table, schedule of pas
aenger and freight ratea, etc., will be ar
ranged on tbe return of tbe promoters
to Moro tbia week' from Antelope. ' The

day tri-weekly at first, connecting at
Moro, completing each through trip in
twenty-four boura traveling time. The

through with it, It waa a beauty sure;
presenting a tout ensemble calculated to

bridegroom's heart. It was entirely too
complicated for a brief newspaper de
scription. One end of it supported a
rubber over-shoe, an old gaiter, ' and a
collection of-old shoes. In front was an
immense horse shoe, then there were
railroad guides and folders, and a dozen
glaring advertising cards proclaiming in
incarnadine letters tbe merits of Bab

other patent medicine advertisements,

sued by the government of tbe United
States, at a cost up to date of $2,324,328.
Of this amount $1,184,291 has been paid
for printing ancPbinding. Tbe remain
der was expended for salaries, rent, sta
tionery and other contingent and miscel
laneous expenses, and for the purchase
of records from 'private individuals. It
will require at least three years longer
and an appropriation of perhapb $600,000
to complete the work, so that tbe total

Foreign Crop Notes.
France The young crops are now re
ported to be under a thick covering of -snow,
which assures adequate protection
to the plants. Some seeding was done
before tbe snow came, and farmers are
said to be preparing to sow freely ia the)
spring.
; Argentina Crop news is not more
favorable, and people take even gloomier
views as to the Santa Fe harvest. Mail
advices received yesterday mention that
tbe crops in the south of Buenos Ayrea
were suffering from drouth, and tbe
cable of Saturday reported drouth to be
causing much damage to corn. '
Uruguay Mail advicea still report
swarms of locusts, and tbe outlook for
tbe corn crop . mast be considered
gloomy.
Chili Crop prospects' are again re
ported to be quite favorable.
India Fair rains reported in the Pnn
jaub, where the moisture will be of much
use, by enabling grbwers to continue
seeding. ' Condition of standing crops
fair to good in Central provinces, Bebar,
and Northwest provinces, except in Bun
delkband districts. In the affected dis
tricts of Bombay, tbe crops are suffering; '
from want of rain. This report is from
the last telegram of tbe viceroy. '
Russia A recent report to the Daily
News from Obessa more than confirmed .
the bad accounts of crop conditions ia
many of the Southern governments
mentioned in our last. The report re
ferred to states that over 2,000,000
acres of winter wheat have been de
stroyed in Pondolia and Bessaradia, and
the same conditions, only less wide
spiead and disastrous, obtain through
out the majority of tbe Southern govern
ments. This is certainly the most pessi
mistic report we have yet seen, though
others have been pretty bad. On the
other band, our correspondent at
Tbeodosia wrote last week that the oat
look was pretty satisfactory in bis dis
trict, though nothing could be said aa to
wide areas of tbe Steppe. '
Yon May Answer It.
The following letter written by a resi
dent of East Tennessee, shows the pos
sibilities of tbe English language in the
line of questioning. Its recipient turned
it over to us to answer, bat whether it
was .because tbe information derived
was too complex for any but an editor to
give, or because he could not name the
four or five good men, we do not even
hazard a guess. The letter is as follows :
