There was a ' nice little breeze this
afternoon that rattled the signs and
shook the old leaves from the trees.
Below the . bill it did not produce any
discomfort, but back about "Ninth street
and from that to the pines the' air was
filled with sand that had an idea it was
needed in Sherman county. V f v "

shale in search ot the glistening coal.
Much depends on what it accomplishes,
and if a body of coal is found such as we
believe will be, The Dalles will take

' J. Herbert Lyon, .manager of the Lyon
Steamboat Co., operating two steamers
on Lake Cceur d'Aleae, who mysterious
ly disappeared about six months ago,
returned to Spokane Tuesday to his par
ents,' wife and two children, who had
long mourned1 him as dead. He says he
has no recollection of what occurred
from the time of his disappearance until
he came to his senses in a little town in
Southern California. .
A couple of horses belonging to Mr.
Henzie made a run up through town
shortly --after-.noon ..today, coming up
Washington street from First. It is
supposfcd'.they had been; unhitched and
fed at dinner time, as the tugs were tied'
op, and that the upsetting of the arch
frightened them so badly . that ; they
broke away. ' They made excellent, time,
and like the wi:ked, mentioned by Job,
no one pursued them.
The Oregon ; Trading Company has
been incorporated. The object of the
incorporation is to carry on a general
merchandise business at Wasco, Sher
man county, which is the principal place
of business of the company. The capi
tal stock is $10,000, divided into 200
shares of the value of $50 each. The in
corporators are Ed M. Williams, W. A.
Johnston, A. C. Sanford, Geo. Crosfleld
and E. O. McCoy. Mr. Croesfield will
have immediate charge of the business.
The big arch put across the street
leading to the boat landing at the time
of the celebration of the opening of the
locks bade fair to become a regular fix
ture ; but it is no more. At noon today
the "gentle breezes sweptdownupon.it,
filled its flapping canvas with a gust or
two of air from Mt. Hood, and after toy
ing playfully for a moment or two with
the ragged bannere, sent it toppling over
into the street. It lay there looking like
a Democratic stump speech two days
after election, its slender frame work
exposed and its hollow sham self-evi
dent. . '

Lewis Porter drove no street this
afternoon with an incipient Maud S in

Anent Free Seeds.
We have been invited, along with the
balance of the newspapers of the United
States of America, to express our opin
ion upon the free distribution' of seed
bv the government, by and "with the
consent and advice Of the congressmen.
We have been furnished with a collec
tion of newspaper clippings to aid us in
arriving at a conclusion on the seed qoee
tion, and yet we are forced to conctad
that none of the papers seem to. have
reached either the root or the seed of ihe
evil. We are told that "our proadjand
grandmotherly government expends
$150,000 a year, besides paying freight
bills, in furnishing free seeds to the
great seedless public. That even with
this grand outlay the results are un6atis
factory. That there is no judgment
used in disseminating these free tege
table germs, and that those who receive
them, albeit setting them free, are far
from satisfied. This is in a measure true,
The man who wants to raise watermelons
opens his prize-package and finds that it
contains Kaffir corn, string beans and
lettuce. The lady who expects flower
seeds of infinite varieties and all new,
finds that she must either grow Early
York or Flat Dutch cabbage and Mam
moth pumpkins in her carefully pre
pared beds, or let her flower garden go
bare. These little idiosyncracies are
only to be expected and should be borne
cheerfully. It is the pamphlets that are
prepared by the department, giving full
instructions concerting the planting and
cultivation of the seeds that lead one to
believe sometimes that the civil 'service
is not so civil as it is cracked up to be.
and .that either the clerks are inclined to
be humorous or else are not upon garden
truck.
Train 21, a freight, leaving here last
night, met with an accident in the Bhape
of a broken axel near Viento. In con
sequence the west-bound passenger was
held at Hood River for several hours
this morning. , ,

route for the railroad from Biggs to
Wasco are in the city. They will go to
Biggs tonight, and begin work Monday
It is expected the survey will be com
pleted in about two weeks. - ;
The bowling medal, for which the
ladies contest every Thursday afternoon

it.

Recorder Phelps has been busy most
of the day superintending the examina
tion of Taylor Blevins, charged with lar
ceny from a dwelling, the offence being
the alleged taking of ' a Winchester rifle
from the house of A. J. Osborne. Pros

The general merchandisu store of
Roney Bros., in Goshen, Lane county,
was entered by burglars -last night and
quite an amount of goods taken. In all,
the loss ia about $250. The postoffice is
in the same building, and some stamps
were taken, but it is not known how
many.' Ibis is tne sixth time this store
has been burglarized.,- .
Suit has been begun at' Eugene by
Laura A. Harris against the board of
judges at the late school election on ac
count of their refusal to allow women to
vote. It" is attended to make a teBt case
of this suit, for the purpose of getting a
decision as to the constitutionality of the
law which provides that women taxpay
ers may vote at school elections.
It was only a year or two ago that
neat little package of variegated beans,
together with some bHds looking like
dessicated asparagus, reached us through
the postoffice. . Recognizing the package
by the frank expression where the pos
tage stamp should be, we turned it over
to the sharer of our wealth. She, in
thoughtless mood, opened it. We saw
her pick up the "directions," and then
we saw the little wrinkles gather on her
forehead and we knew there was some
thing in that paper that bad eet her
thinking. Experience has taught us to
be on our guard when she does that, and
we were just preparing to take a short
walk for our health, when she looked up
with a puzzled expression on her classic
countenance and remarked, "I don't un
derstand this quite: do you?" - We con
fessed at once that we did not, and
clinched it with the statement that if
she could not understand it H must be
incomprehensible. We thought that
ought to fetch her, but it didn't. She
passed the paper over, to ns, with the
command to read it, and this Is what we
read :
' "The enclosed slips should be planted
In May, also the ground. They should
be eet in a well made bed, the soil being
worked nntil perfectly loose. The slips
will sprout in two weeks, when a wooden
block should be inserted in the calyx of
the flower, the blocks being changed and
a larger one insetted daily, until the
slips become the right size for your pil
lows. When the pillows slip into them
easily, they may be pulled and the bed
spaded for a new crop. The variegated
seeds are said to produce if planted in.
the bed an elegant crop of bed comfor
ters. By sowing in patches, the crop of
course will show the artisticness of the
patchwork, and as tbey grow in patterns
as they are planted, this permits an in
finite variety of design. By putting a
few quires of paper between the rows,
the bed will be provided with sheets,
which may also be used for shams.
Some experts bury a piece of hose in the
bed and by coupling this onto the hyd
rant the bed can be provided with
springs. A cheaper and- perhaps more
satisfactory way is just to make the bed
in the Bprlng and be done with it. A
few castor beans planted at the corners
of the bed will provide cheap castors
and permit the bed being taken in when
it rains, without disturbing the plants.
The department requests that you report
the results of your experiment."
We confessed our inability to throw
any light on the subject, and, for a won
der, our better half did not insist on try
ing the experiment. That's what we
object to about this seed business. Why
should the toiling masses be taxed to
furnish vegetable bacteria to burrow in
the arth's epidermis? Why should the
unwary husbandman be made to bow
bis back by the enthusiastic husband
woman in a futile attempt to raise blue
roses irom mustard seed that cost the
government $9 an ounce, Troy. Why
should he be compelled to delve in the
earth in a vain attempt to grow figs from
dandelion down; and. smile and smile,
as though he liked it, and yet be a vil
lain? Why should he be compelled to
undertake to grow prize pumpkins on a
city lot that cost him $100 a front foot,
and blow himself for $7.75 for garden
tools to do it with,, when he can buy all
the "punks" lie wants in a year for a
quarter of a dollar? We tried a whole
package of these seeds once. We worked
like a Senagambia.n. helot beneath the
lash of his Spartan master, for one
whole summer and produced the finest
crop of jimson ever raised in the state.
We also produced nine other varieties of
useless vegetation unknown to these
parts that Etumped all the botanical sa
vants. "These were also accompanied by
an abundant crop of mixed profanity
new to this region but indigenous to Ne
vada. ' Down with the seed scheme ! ' If
our congressmen cannot be re-elected
withont the aid .of a dude agricultural
monstrosity in Washington, D. C, let
them sty,un-eleced. An agricultural
department that gets up a ecbeme of
sabsoiling for those who plow the raging
caTnal, is not calculated to euperintend
the selection of seeds for the .unin
formed. And the suggestions sent out
by it, that by planting almanacs a good
crop of dates could be raised places it be
neath contempt.
A rieaaaut Afternoon.
. Monday afternoon the oldest members
of the Methodist church in this city
spent a very pleasant afternoon with
their pastor and his wife. Rev. and Mrs.
Wood, at their home on the bluff. The
afternoon was their'a to spend as best
suited their pleasure, and at 3 o'clock
they had a short prayer meeting, after
which they spent some time in talking
over their religious experiences, some of
whieh were as follows : y
Rev. A. M. Walker, who is aged 76,
was converted at the age of 12, and has
been a member of the church sixty-five
years. . Mrs. Walker, aged 77, converted
when 12 years old, has been a chjurch
member sixty-six years; " Mrs. W. Ma-
gee, 85 years old, converted at 20, when
she united with th'a church. Mrs, J.
Gorham, who is now 66, was converted
when 6 years of age, being a member of
the church sixty years. Mrs. Eliza Ma
Farland, 81 years old, converted when
-13, has been a church member since
that time, sixty-eight years. Mrs. I. N.
Sargent, aged 79, converted in her 13th
year, has been a member sixty-six years.
Mrs. Angel, 65 years, converted when 15,
has been a member of the church fifty
years. The average age of those present
is 75 years; that of 'heir conversion 13,
and the total number of . years' service
given to the church 440 years.
Then followed a light lunch served by
Mrs. Wood, which was as much enjoyed
as it could have been by those who are
younger and much more vigorous, and
the conversation which followed proved
that though most of them bad measured
up to the full three score and ten years
alio ted, they were still light hearted and
enjoying life, the more so in the hope of
a glorious immortality beyond, when
the last of such earthly pleasures are o'er
and they join in the pleasures which
never end. , X

Mrs. Frank Pat ton, formerly of Gol
dendale, is at St. Vincent's hospital re
covering from the effects of a most re
markable accident, which necessitated
the performance of a serious operation.
The Oregonian says that some -three
weeks Eince Mrs. Patton accidentally
broke in two pieces the rubber plate of
a eet of artificial teeth she was wearing.
Not long after, and before she had had
time to have the plate repaired, she had
occasion to make a call, and undertook
to wear the broken plate. After adjust
the pieces and placing them in position
she was .constrained to yawn, at the
same time involuntarity placing her
handover her mouth. Unfortunately,
she pressed her fingers against her teeth,
detaching one-half of the broken plate,
and, as her month wss wide open and
her bead thrown back, the half of the
plate and teeth attached went down her
throat.
Mrs. Pat ton made a desperate effort to
catch it or eject it, but it had slipped out
of her reach or control and passed - into
the stomach. In a day or two the plate
began to trouble her, causing her great
pain and suffering. She was unable to
eat and her sufferings increased, until it
was seen that some heroic measures
must be taken if her life was to be saved.
It was finally decided to take her to St.
Vincent's hospital, where a consultation
of physicians was held, and it was. con
cluded that the best thing to be done
was to open the stomach and remove the
teeth. The operation was successfully
performed just one week since; but, to
the astonishment of all concerned, no
trace of the plate or teeth could be found,
after a most thorough examination.
What became of them is a mystery.
Some think that the plate was not swal
lowed, but this seems improbable, Oth
erwise, how are the pain and suffering
which followed to be accounted for.? Im
agination goes a long : ways sometimes,
but it is hardly sufficient to keep a per
son in pain and suffering for a week or
two, especially after the fact of the orig
inal mishap is proof positive. Some
claim that the rubber plate was digested
or broken up in the stomach; but this
theory is as improbable as the other.
The most satisfactory feature of the case
is that Mrs. Patton has been rapidly im
proving ever since the operation was
performed, and will soon be out.

Speculators.
- Objection is made, or has been made,
to pugilism because it engenders gambl
ing. We do hot believe this. Tne peo
pie who attend prize-fights are generally
of a speculative turn, and ars cambleis
long before they ever see a prize-fight.
The same objection might be made to
agricultural fairs, and for that matter to
our elections. Millions change hands at
every election, and wjll perhaps always
continue to do so, yet we cannot abolish
elections on that account. The truth is,
if the gambling spirit is Jin a fellow, he
will find something to get bis money put
to the hazard 'and die of a wager on, in
some manner. During the war the sol
diers in camp, to vary the monotony, it
is said, used to amuse themselves by
getting up a series of races. The race
track consisted of a tin plate, with a
spot in the center about an inch in di
ameter, marked off ith a circle
scratched in the tin. The animals en
tered for the races were those diminutive
pests known in common language as
"graybacks." A w'ager being made, the
owners would bring out their longest-
legged and best groomed steeds and drop
each his favorite in that charmed circle.
The plate having been waimed to a
degree rendering it uncomfortable, the
diminutive Maud S's and J. I. C's would
immediately strike out for the elsewhere,
and the one getting off the plate first
won the money. He was generally put
back inside the gray shirt for future use.
' Tump Winston, who lived in Carson
City and conducted a gambling saloon,
used . to eay that he would "gamble the
sun wouldn't come up if he could get
odds enough, taking the chances of the'
end of creation coming;" and it is told
of Harry Thorrington, another gambler
who died at Carson many years ago,
that previous to his death the good old
Methodist preacher who conducted the
church there, called upon him, and by
his kindly ministrations converted him.
The good man used to call on Harry
daily and talk to him, and the latter'
seemed to enjoy the visits and profit by
thepi, much to the minister's gratifica
tion. -One day about a week before
Thorrington died, he expressed "to his
friend his extreme pleasure at bis con
version, and his hope of meeting him on
"the other side." "But," said he, "will
I be an angel and have wings when I get
over there?" "Undoubtedly," said the
minister. "And will I be able to fly
with them?" "Most assuredly," was
the reply. '.'Well then, parson," said
Harry, "I'll be there a long time ahead
of you, and be in practice by the time
yon come; but I've got a hundred yet,
more than it will take for my funeral,
and I'll bet you)two to one that when you
come in I can outfly you.''. . .
The spirit of gambling ia innate, and
while civilization may suppress, it can
not eliminate it.. All eavages are invet
erate gamblers. We have seen an In
dian bet away at cards his1 horse, bis
money; his gun, and finally his clothes,
until he was as naked as when he came
into the world, and the only regret the
wretch seemed to have was that he could
not remove bis bide and wager that.
The nickel-in-the-slot machine, the
grab-bags, raffles, and the thousand diff
erent schemes of the kind, all show, and
show conclusively, how strong the gamb
ling spirit is. The toddling boy com
mences piaying marbles for keeps, and
finds no .amusement in a game for "fun."
The card, billiard and other gamps of the
saloons add the epice of gambling, by
making the stakes the price of the game.
Nor does it stop there., At the clubs,
even the ladies follow this rule, and it
may be found generally in some shape
even in the church sociables. Gambling
is a vicious habit, it is true, just as prize
fighting is a: low and degrading one; but
wl at are you going to do about It? The
great majority of the people will gamble
in some fJrm, and nine out of ten, no
matter how much they may deny it, take
a deep interest in the result of such a
prize fight as that of Fitz-timmons and
Corbett. Gambling, prize fighting and
all that sort of thing will be stopped
when the devil is chained up ; but as bis
Satanic highness seems to be enjoying
the freedom of the world most heartily
extended, that day is in the very remote
future. . ' -
A sent s of hitherto unpublished let
ters written by General Sherman to a
young girl who applied to him anony
mously for information regarding an ar
my officer of whom she had once been
the correspondent, is the most novel fea
ture of this number of McClure's. There
is a touch of humor and a touch of ro
mance in the story the letters unfold,
and one is moved both to sigh and to
laugh at the posture to which the gen
eral's good nature finally brings him.
The opening of spring millinery by
Mrs. C. L. Phillips was well attended
and the stock displayed contained many
beautiful and artistic creations in both
hats and bonnets. The spacious room
was crowded all afternoon and evening,
but a poor chump of a reporter knows
nothing about "loves" and "dreams""
and all that sort of thing, except what
be heard the ladies say, and ' be won't
repeat that.
We thought there was a pretty stiff
breeze here yesterday, but it was only
the tail end of the storm from the other
side of the mountains. At Oregon City
the wind swept down on the suspension
bridge and moved it on its piers some
eighteen . inches. At Portland much
damage "was done to electric and tele
phone wire8rand much annoyance was
caused by their crossing and breaking.
From all reports it was one of the heavi
est wind storms experienced in Western
Oregon in years.
