scene of their arduous labors yesterday
afternoon. Mr. Dufur was of the
opinion the legislature would adjourn by

Michell thought it would meet by that
time.
Walla Walla Fruit.
The 'opinion prevails with the fruit
growers in and near Milton that a con
siderable percentage of the frnit trees in
the Walla Walla valley .were either
killed outright or were badly injured by
the severe cold weather of last Novem
ber. Strango as it may seem, it was not
always the -early and tender varieties
that suffered, bnt in many instances
those that flourish in countries where
rigid cold is experienced, have been in
jured seriously. The condition of the
tree itself at the freeze-np seems to have
. been an important factor.
If no more cold is experienced, there
will be a fairly good crop of apricots and
peaches. Of course some of this fruit
has been damaged, but there will be
enough for borne requirements and a
considerable left over for their neigh
bors, whose homes are not in the frnit
. belt. Royal Ann cherries are said to be
severely hurt, and there are also several
varieties of winter apples that are great-
. ly damaged and in some instances en
tirely killed. ' ,
It is thought by conservative fruit men
that at least one-third of the entire frnit
crop of the Walla -Walla valley was
killed by the November freeze. Pen

Jackrabbit Felt In Demand.
Let everyone who owns a gun. and dog
get .out and kill several hundred jack
rabbits, .for there is something "in it"
now. A fur dealer from the East has
gone to Wallula and made the -following
offer:
"We will buy nicely handled, cased
jackrabbit skins at 50 cents each;
opened or damaged, half price. Most
be perfectly dry and free from meat."
The sudden activity of two or three
men, who had accepted the agency for
the i m in killing and skinning jack
rabbi ta, -aroused the curiosity of other
-denizens of the sagebrush flats, and soon
the secret leaked out. Now every able-
bodied man, woman and child in Wal
lula has embarked in tbe jackrabbit in
dustry and "pop, pop, fxp," crack their
guns from early dawn until dark. Jack
rabbit hides are being shipped out al
most by the carload, and the Wallula
peoplerill soon have money to burn.. .
How It Hay Be Done.
"Is there any sure way of getting one's
writings accepted by tbe magazines'?"
inquired tbe young man.
"There is," answered tbe man who
had been in the business of writing for a
long time.
"What is It?" , '.
"First acquire a reputation for some
thing besides writing," answered the old
timer. "It doesn't make much differ
ence what it is bo long as there is noth
ing literary about it. Just get yourself
known for almost anything from crime
to philanthropy, and the magazines will
be after everything you write."
Hick on the Weather.
Rev. Ira R. Hicks, editor of Word and
curate weather prognoeticator in the
country, seldom making mistakes in his
forecasts, and it is not amiss to heed hie
prophecies. In the February number of
Word and Work he predicts the last
half of this month will witness much
, unsettled weather, and some heavy
fltormn will nrovail Tha triAnfh nrill
close with warm weather, low barometer
and west. Severe storms will occur in
March and heavy frosts until 'April

"NIT."
That Was All the Retarolnar Politicians
Would Bay of the Situation.
Several Eastern Oregon politicians
have returned from the town where is
located the state capitol. They came up
Sunday and this morning.' A party
which came up Sunday was composed of
Col. J. H. Raley, Col. L. F. Cook, of
Pendleton, Charles Hyde and C. A
Johns, of Baker City; T. H. Crawford
and Thomas Wright, of Union.
These coliticians were asked what
they had learned concerning the way
things were situated in Salem, and with
one accord they exclaimed with a voice
that shook the car windows and made
the tin on the car roof rattle :
..'"Nit!" . ,
They went on to explain that a man in
Kalamazoo or in Hindustani could form
as correct a guess at the outcome as any
one who had been in Salem looking for
information. Down there it is. all mys
tery and whisperings and wailing, the
excitement stage having passed and
quietude having ensued like death alter
a stormy and passionate life, the quiet
broken, once and a while by the never
dying tongue of T. N. .Brown, the Mor
row countyrepresentative, and a few
more who seem to fear that unless .they
occasionally articulate the people will
forget they are in the legislature.
"Do we know bow the thing is coming
out?" said one of tbe returning citizens
"Young man, no being in all tbe uni
verse knows that, excepting the Al
mighty in Heaven, and be has deserted
the Oregon legislature, leff them to
their own destruction, and even His
ministers, the clergymen of Salem, have
refused to attend tbe sessions and pray
for the lost souls who composed the
membership of that legislative body. It
is far beyond the mortal ken to predict
with any certainty what a day will bring
forth. I am prepared to see anyone
elected or no one. I am prepared to see
the legislature adjourn sine die or re
main in thefr present condition, a half
baked - organization, . until Gabriel's
trump is blown calling sinners to re
pentance and sounding the doom of tbe
Oregon legislature. Political prophecy
in Oregon is a lost art. The wisest say,
like the famous skeptic, Bob Ingersoll,
'I do not know.' No one knows. The
legislature itself does not know. I do
not know, and what's more, I don't care
a rap." East Oregonian.
Foand Dead In Her House.
Last Thursday morning th dead body
of Mrs. Mike Croisan, a widow aged
about 70 years, was found at her home,
five miles south Of Stayton, in Marion
county, by Louie Croisan, a relative of
the deceased. Louie Croisan was en
gaged Wednesday in plowing for crops
the land adjoining Mrs. Croisan 's home.
The noon meal was served by her in
person, and her manner aroused not the
least suspicion of illness. At the supper
hour Croisan entered the house for his
milk pail, noted a bright fire on the
hearth, but did not see his aged aunt.
Nevertheless, he departed for home with
no misgivingB for hr safety and com
fort. When he returned to enter upon
bis work the next day, he was struck by
the stillness of the place, and, making
an investigation, discovered tbe deceased
lying prostrate on 'the floor, in another
room, apparently having fallen from a
chair. '

General Boloff Heads m Monster Cuban
- Expedition.
New York, Feb. 22. The World this
morning says :
General Roloff, with 50 men, 35 of
whom are Americans, and a big snpoly
of arms and ammunition, is said in Cu
ban circles to have sailed from a point
on the New Jersey coast not for from
Long Branch, for Cuba. It is said Gen
eral "Roloff is in charge of the largest fili
bustering expedition that has left this
country during the present Cuban revo
lution. '
The Cubans have experienced so much
difficulty with chartered steamers (bat
Roloff decided to purchase one. Her
name could not be learned ' yesterday,
bnt report has it that she came from, the
neighborhood of Philadelphia and was
larger than any which basf yet carried
men and arms to Cuba. . ' .
The first intimation that General Pal
ma had of General RolofTs proposed de
parture was about 10 days ago. '' -..
"I received a letter," said General
Palma yesterday "from President Cis
peroe, informing me that General Roloff
bad spent a longer timer in the United
States than his furlough, and he must re
turn to Cuba at once. General Roloff
walked into my office the next ' day ' to
tell me be has received a similar com
munication. 'I shall obey the order
within ft fortnight,' was the only com
ment he made. His expedition was or
ganized entirely independent of the
junta."
Dynamite has. always been General
RolofTs pet weapon. He had often said
that tbe Cubans were foolish to use ma
chetes and bullets when dynamite would
do tbe same work much more effectually
Without endangering any Cuban lives.
Seven tons of dynamite were a part of
General RolofTs steamer. She carried
also 2000 rifles and 500,000 cartridges. -
Tbe 35 Americans of "the expedition
were selected from the thousands of' ap
plicants that have come to 'the junta
from all parts of the country in the last I
three months. Several of them have
-served in military companies.
"Yes," eaid General Palma, '.General
Roloff has" gone to Cuba and it is more
than likely he has taken an expedition
with him. If he has done so, yon' may
depend a poo it that the expedition is a
large one. I know that General -Roloff
has received large sums of money from
the junta during the past eix months.
What he did with it I do not know ; ' I
can only surmise. You are doubtless
aware of the fact that no one connected
with the junta ever gives any definite in
formation about the starting of an expe
dition." ,'' ;

ing vessel for the Annapolis cadets were
stricken from the naval, appropriation
bill today before the bill was reported
to the house. -The committee consid
ered the items and struck them out by a
vote of 8 to 4, which was practically a
party vote, the Republicans present vot
ing p drop them and the Democrats to
taiu them. , Consultation with the
speaker and other members of the house
convinced the Republicans that there
would . be strong objections to these
items. There was a proposal to provide
for a new torpedo-boat, but it failed.

- San Francisco, Teb. 19. Judge Sea

bott's claim that she was the wife of
Capitalist Thomas-L. Quackenbush, by
virtue of a contract marriage. He found
from the evidence that while the couple
had lived together; the cohabitation bad
not been accompanied by Bach a mutual
assumption of martial duties and respon
sibilities as the law required to consti
tute a marriage uuder section 52 of the

his mother who was examining a lot of

TWO INVENTIVE THIEVES.
They Took a Bicycle from the Rider on
a Bet.
The bicycle thief is. inventive this
year. A young man was practicing cir
cles in front of his house when two fal
lows stopped on the pavement to admire
him. One of them, 6ays the New York
Herald, asked how much 'the wheel
weighed, and the young man said it
weighed 22 pounds.
The smaller of the two said that was
too light, and that he believed in wheels
weighing- at least 30 pounds.- Also, he
mentioned that he once came in first
in a ten-mile ' race and rode a wheel
weighing 38 -pounds. At this the larger
of the strangers laughed derisively, and
said: . . .. - ,
"What do you know about wheels?"
"Why, I've ridden more wheels than
you ever saw," replied the other.
"I don't believe you can ride at all."
"M bet you five dollars I can Let me
bhow him on your wheel. I won't hurt
it." V -
He conld ride all right. He wobbled
slowly on the wheel for a short distance,
and then swished around the corner and
was away like the wind. ,
You'd better run after that fellow,"
aid the stranger; "I don't know him."
The owner of the wheel set off, bnt
tbe short stranger must have been a
mile away by that time. Then when the
owner came back the stranger also had
gone.
A Schoolboy on Homer.
An able summary of the theories ns

BIG ALLIGATORS.
Some Odd Talej Told by an Old Florida
Hotel Register.
. At the end of a chapter on aJligators,
in bis book "Hunting and Fishing in
Florida," Mr. Charles B. Cory, curatoi
of the department of ornithology in the
Field Columbian museum, . Chicago,
gives an entry which he once saw in
the register of the Brock house.
, In the old days, when transportation
was more' difficult than it is at present.
the Brock house was about the end of
civilization, and was a 24 hours' trip
by boat from Jacksonville. It. was at
that time a great resort for sportsmen,
who were attracted there by the fish
ing- and shooting to he had in the vicinity.-
; ' ; .
The old register, which extended
back a great many years,, contained
some queer records, many of them of
doubtful veracity. Among " others,
some one had written:
"March 19, 1872, killed a large alli
gator, the largest seen here this year;
the stomach contained a boot, a piece
of pine wood, a fisherman a float, and
some email fish." .
Immediately beneath this record was
another, evidently added by some wag:
"March 24, killed a 'much bigger alli
gator than the one mentioned above-.
The stomach contained a gold watch.
$10,000 in government bonds, and ' a
cord of wood."
On the next page, written in a neat,
unobtrusive style, -was inscribed the
following:: "Shot the biggest alligator
ever known in Florida; the stomach
contained the remains . of a , steam
launch, a lot of old railway iron, and a
quantity jof melted ice, proving that it
existed during the glacial epoch." ,
TROCHA COST MANY LIVES.
Over S,0OO Soldiers Died of Fever Con
tracted There. ,
A decided change -has been made in
the plan of military opera tions in Pinar
del Rio province.
The western trocha has not been
abandoned yet, but the lorce along
that military line has been greatly re
duced already. Three brigades of in
fantry have gone into the mountain
ouscountry on the north coast, the
only part where the insurgents find
anything like security.
The trocha, says a Havana dispatch,
was a costly mistake in many respects;
in others it served its purpose. The
work was too expensively built. Al
though intended for a temporary pur
pose, the blockhouses in many in
stances wereof brick and finished as if
for permanent use. Even the mortar
at the joints was nicely tooled. The
same disposition to erect massive and
permanent works that distinguished the
Spaniards in the days of the coloniza
tion of America exists to-day. The
trocha caused Maceo a great deal of
annoyance. It staid the passage of
large bodies of men east and west. Only
small groups succeeded In crossing.
The maintenance of the trocha lias
cost dearly in human life. The country
through which it runs is malarious
naturally, and the throwing up of earth
works left pits which filled with stag
nant water in' the rainy season. More
than 2,000 soldiers have died from dis
ease contracted there. Even now many
are sick, mostly with chills and fever.
Yellow fever and dysentery have been
epidemic
BARBER SHOP ON WHEEJ.S.
This Man Uses a Tricycle to Get Custom
from Farmers.
No odder use has been found for the
bicycle than that to which it has been
put by a barber, August Leibman, of
Gravesend, Long island, says the New-
York Press. Before he learned to ride
a wheel he made a comfortable living
by driving around the scattered villages
of Long island shaving the farmers who
could not spare time to travel to the
neighboring towns to be shaved. It
occurred to Leibman that a more de
sirable way of visiting his patrons than
by the old horse and buggy could be
f onnd by constructing a tricycle out
fit. The plan has worked well. 'The
barber's chair, which is getting .'to be
a familiar sight on Long island, runs
on three wheels and in. the center of the
machine is the saddle on which Leib
man perches when he pedaJs abroad on
shaving and hair cutting fourst
The advantage of the;- new. outfit is
that it costs next to nothing when com
pared with the expense of keeping a
horse. Before he ad&pted'the tricycle
system of travel Leibman was forced to
confine his shaving and hair cutting
efforts to farmsteads far removed from
the red and white pole of the village
barber. Now. he boldly rides into the
territory of. his rivals, for the novelty
of being shaved in a tricycle barber's
chair has attracted custom from the
regular;. shops..
. . Where the Money Went.
The vicar of a rural parish who had
waxed eloquent on the subject of for
eign missions one Sunday was ' sur
prised on entering the village shop
during " the ' week to be greeted with
marked coldness by the worthy dame
who kept it. On seeking to know the
cause, the good woman produced a coin
from a drawer, and, throwing it down
before the vicar, exclaimed: "I marked
that holy crown and put it in the plate
last Sunday, and here it is back again in
my shop. I knowed well them nig
gers never got the money."
This Is Tour Opportunity.

GR-nECO-LG rVTAN PAINTING.
Process by Which Very Remarkable Por
traits Were Done.
The remarkable series of portraits
found in Egypt are described in the
Monthly Illustrator and the methods
the old artists employed..
The methods of these ancient" days
were totally different from those of the
present day and were evidently vastly
more durable. Panels of wood were
used to paint on sycamore and cypress
also panels of papier mache, and oc
casionally they were formed by gluing
three thicknesses of canvas together.
These panels were usually about 14
inches long by 7 inches wide. - The
artist used liquid wax instead of oil to
mix the colors, which were made not
imm vorrarDnin nnr. Trairii miniMpni cnn.
stances, and were of marvelous bril
liancy and permanence blue pow
dered lapis lazuli, green malachite, red
oxide of iron, etc.- The colors were laid
on in patches, somewhat after the fash
ion of a mosaic, and afterwards blended
with an instrument called the centrum,
which appears to have; been a lancet
shaped spatula, long-handled, with at
one end a curved point, ot the other a
finely dentated edge. With the toothed
edge the wax could be equalized and"
smoothed, while the point was used for
placing high lights, marking lips, eye
brows, etc .
The final process, which gives the'
name encaustic to . this kind of paint
ing, wras the burning in of the colors.
This was done by the application of a
heated surface to the panel, though
Georg Ebers believes that in Egypt the
heat of the sun was probably all that
was needed to complete, the artist's
work.
HE WANTED STAMPS.
Country Merchant Knew How to Keep Up
... His Stock.
"I obtained a peculiar order from a
Kentucky storekeeper," said a cigar
salesman to a Washington Star reporter.
"I left the railroad to work some in
terior towns, and stopped at the coun
try stores en route. . At one of these
places I found a man whom the com
mercial agencies gave a good rating,
and who acted as postmaster as well as
storekeeper. I handed him my card,
and he said:
" 'Thar ain't but one thing that yo'
kin sell me." i
" 'What is that?' I inquired. 1 '
"'Yo' kin sell me 'bout $50 wuth o'
stamps, envelopes an' postal kyards.'
" 'Why, you can get them from the
government.
"No, I kain't. . Yo' see they won't
credit me. I hev ter sell stamps an put
'em on people's bills, but th' govern
ment won't let me hev none .'thout send
in' th' money. 'Tain't right, o' cose, f er
I'm good, they orter know thet. But
I ain't got a stamp nor a kyard in th
office an' no way ter git none.'' I'll hev
to buy 'em somewhars. .
"After becoming convinced of the
man's solvency, I sold him a line of -
stamps, stamped envelopes and postal
cards, to be shipped with a bill . of
