WHERE WORK IS PLENTY.
There is one large class of workers
whose labor does not depend upon
the passage of the tariff measure, the
money question or upon any sort of
legislation. Mills may close and fac
tories lie idle; the administration
may be Republican, Populistic or
Democratic and the fat sinecures

none, yet these ceaseless workere are
never "out of a job."
Who are they? The wives and
mothers of the bread-winners of our
land. The helpmates of every hon
est wage-earner of our country, and
of hundreds who are not honest as
well. On the faithful hearts and
willing hands of these tireless toilers
the burdens of daily life only grow
heavier when the grim band of hard
times snatches from the husband the
opportunity to do his allotcd share in
the work of the world. J or every
true mother and wife there is never

The husband or father may lose his
position; may be for months search
iag for "something to do;" but for
the woman every day brings its al
lotted tasks; every dawn is the bar
binger of new and old duties to be
done, and every setting sun goes
down upon unfinished tasks that wait
upon "tomorrow." Each da' is a
repetition of the day to follow. The
treadmill of her life goes on unceas
ingly, and the tired feet must be
ever ready for the next step, though
weary and longing for rest.
All honor to the brave wives and
mothers who labor, not for money or
glory, but for love and duty, and
who are often denied even the ac

A new factor has entered into the
question of wool prices that may
prove a very important one, and will
certainly have a tendency to give
the wool market an upward tilt. In
deed, should the loss of sheep ptove
as serious as now anticipated, it will
affect the market for several years.
Under date of June 5th the Boston
Commercial Bulletin prints a dis
patch concerning the wool market
which says:
"The market is stronger in tone.
The largest manufacturers are buy
ing big flocks, especially or foreign
wool. One dealer sold 1,500,000
lbs of Buenos Ayres cross-bred at
1718c. Another sold 800,000 lbs
Punta Arenas wools al 16 cents; an
other 1000 bales Adelaide wools on
a scoured basis 38 cents. Foreign
markets are strong and higher. Tops
have advanced in Europe. The
drouth is slaying sheep by the mill
ions in Australia,and stocks of wool in
Europe are much depleted. High ac
tivity and an advance of five per
cent are reported from Montevideo.
Meanwhile, domestic wools are ut
terly neglected and dealers cannot
make themselves whole on their
early purchases in the West. The
sales of the week are 724,4000 lbs
domestic and 4,160,000 lbs foreign,
against 402,000 lbs domestic and
2,965,000 lbs foreign last week, and
996,900 fbs domestic and 658,000 lbs
foreign for the same week last year.
The sales to dale show an increase of
38,932,900 lbs domestic and 56,758,
700 lbs foreign from the sales to the
same date in 1896, The receipts to
date show an increase 11,209 bales
domestic and 258,201 bales foreign."
something to boast of that we were
in debt; when we looked upon
money-saving as meanness and econ
omy as a fad. We are coming well
on to better times, but they are to
be better in more things than plenti

markets, good prices and consump
tion demanding more than produc
tion supplies. They are to be better
in a better understanding of what
economy and waste are ; in a better
knowledge of the frugality and prov
idence of our brethren of the great

dub stinginess; in better ideas of the

profit to exchange of products. In

seem that some agreement might be

merchants, when, for instance, a cus

says we do not carry Blood's, but we
have Mud's, which is a better arti

but why ? Is it not probable that
Mud's article is as good as Blood's?

manufacture improved every day?
and is it not, indeed, the very life of
trade that substitution is practiced ?
Does the Advertiser practice what
it preaches? If so, having adver
tised one kind of pills as being the
best made, it would, to be consistent,
refuse to advertise any other kind,
because by doing so it would be
practicing substitution. The Adver
tiser's motive is selfishness only, a de
sire to hold the patronage of big
manufacturing companies, and it at
tempts to pull the chestnuts at the
country papers' expense.

by prejudice against the Spaniards,
and above all he takes a business
view or the wuoie situation, it is
easily seen from what he says that
Weyler's claim that tlie island is
pacified is the wildest absurdity, as
the Cubans are in possession of the
greater part of it The atiocities
with which Weyler is charged un
doubtcdly have a good foundation
At the same time Mr. Calhoun very
frankly says that this country does
not want Cuba; that its mixed pop
ulation would not be a credit to us,
but would be a source of danger.
When his full report is made public
it will undoubtedly cause a change
of sentiment regarding Cuba, though
it cannot, and should not, destroj'

off the yoke of Spain.
Sharkey at New York yesterday was
declared a draw, the police interfer
ing in the seventh round and arrest
ing both principals and one second.
There was no slugging, of course, no
ill feeling or anything of that kind
being permitted to enter the ring.
the affair being purely a fratern
al social one. It is true Sharkey
gave Maher an affectionate poke on
the jaw that knocked him onto the
ropes, where he lay for six seconds
but this was only an expression of
the exuberance of bis feeling. It is
also true that Maher punched Sharkey
.playfully on the point of the chin
and the latter was so amused that he
fell over on his back to laugh. It is
undenied that in the break away
from a loving embrace in the seventh
Mahcr's second rushed over to Maher
to take him back to his corner, when
Sharkey, who loved him as ardently
as be did Maher, took him a whack
in the mouth that floored him. -
It was here the police interfered,
showing a woful ignorance of sport-
ins: matters. The judge before
whom the friends were taken com
mended the policemen for their zeal,
but deprecated their judgment, and
decided that it was only a bit of
friendly fun.
Dr. C. R. Marshall has discovered
a new intoxicant It is extracted
from charas, a resinous exudation
found on the leaves and twigs of
hemp. From the description of the
effects, the active principle must be
the same as in hasheesh bhang and
ganja. The discovery of new Intox
i cants should not immortalize the
discoverer: but the fellow who will
find something to destroy the appe
tite for such intoxicants as we have
now will v be entitled to a high niche
in the temple of fame.
Pennoyer is always unique, and at
times picturesque. If there is ever
a time, or an occasion, in which he
may call attention to himself that he
allows to pass unused, no one has
fiver discovered it. His latest act I
was to remove" John Myers from the
position of chief of police of Port
land, and to put in his place P. J.
The shipment of stock from the
Eastern Oregon ranges is doing much
to improve business conditions, and
this is especiallj' true of Heppner,
Prineville and other interior points.
Both cattle and sheep are being
shipped in large number, too large,
since cows, calves and ewes are
among them. There will be a coun
tering of the good times next year
and the year after, for there will be
little to ship. The good prices are
very terrpting to stock owners, but
the ranges should not be depleted.
It is quite likely from the way "feed
ers and cows have been bought up
that the eastern market will fall, and
this is more probable should Europe's
fight against American beef be kept
up. It will not be at all surprising
if beef commands a belter price in
Portland next year than it does in
Omaha or Chicago, for there it will
be plenty, and here scarce.
The repreive of Durrant by Gov
ernor Budcl was not unexpected ;
but still was a surprise to many. To
the student of the American criminal
trials the Durrant case is but an ex
emplification of the oft-asserted fact
that it is almost impossible to punish
a criminal if he has money back of
him. Durrant has no money of bis
own; but back of him is some power
ful influence, and plenty of money.
In San Francisco it is openly stated
that a certain millionaire is putting
up the funds that have made the des
perate and prolonged defense possi
ble. The hanging of Duestrow, the
banker who shot his wife at St Louis,
has been pointed out as an exception
to the rule; bui since his death this
may be accounted for. His admin
istrator found that bis money Lad all
been used in bis defense, but a few
thousand being left. Behind Dur
rant, if leports are true, is an inex
haustible fund, and those curious
about the matter of the enforcement
of the criminal laws, will do wel! to
keep their attention on Durrant's
case.
We shall have better times. Times
are better now ; they are steadily
improving, but we are not going to

At last our old friend, Tony Nolt
ner, lias unsealed his lips. JNot
through the columns of his excellent
paper, but in conversation with a
few friends, "one of whom we are
which." He expressed the opinion
yesterday that Corbett's case would
not be considered at this session of
congress, and that when the next
session met it would onlv get organ
ized by the Christmas holidays, and
that the recess would, on account of
the extra session, be a long one.
That owing to this the Corbett case
would not be reachable until April,
and as the nominations for legisla
tive offices in Oregon would be
made by that time, cr be at least
about to be made, that nothing
would be done at all, in order to heal
the differences in the party in this
state. And yet while this expression
of opinion was made concerning re
sults, he told us nothing abcut that
trip East; nothing about those ten
Democratic senators ; nothing about
notbingonly just bis own opinion.
When Sylvester Pennoyer deposed
his old friend and supporter, John
Myers, to please that political shys
ter, Napoleon Davis, he lost his hold
on a large number of former admir
ers. Pennojei's persistency m stay
ing with Davis is forcing his former
friends to believe that the "good
governor" was in with the state land
robbing scheme. Troy was; so was
Pennoyer.
Maj-or Pennoyer is well posted on
scriptural matters ; no layman in the
state better, and yet this good old
Democratic ox yokes himself up
with Napoleon Davis.

day morning, Jane 3d 'says the New
York World.
it was a coining sight, The young
girl, with two friends scarcely her
seniors, had come down Xo tbe hand
some old homestead in the outskirts of
Port Republic on Monday to open it up
and prepare it for the coming of the
family. It is a lonesome house, sur
rounded by broad meadows and groves
and cultivated land, for the Frenches
are tbe richest family in the county and
have a farm to be proud of.
The only persona in the house last
night were the three young girls and a
hired man, who slept far away7 in the
rear.
Amid such circumstances as these the
girl was awakened by the face at the
window. It was only there for a mo
ment. It disappeared as the burglar
softly crept along the roof of tbe porch
that fronted her window, seeking a
means of entrance.
For a moment she was as one para
lyzed. It was only for a moment, bow-
ever. As her faculties grew clear tbe
innate courage of the girl returned. She
remembered that in a certain drawer
there was a fine, big navy revolver,
while out in tbe barn was a pack of fine
bounds. -
She stole out of bed and crept softly to
tbe bureau. Tbe pistol was there, its
five chambers loaded, and her hand
grew Bteady as she raised the hammer.
Stealing into tbe room occupied by
her girl friends, she quietly waked them
np and whispered for them not to stir or
cry out, no matter what they beard
They were glad enough to cower be
neath the bed-clothes and let her do all
the fighting. ' '
Heart in month, but courage still un-
dimmed, tbe young girl stole softly
downstairs. Every creak made her stop,
and her heart was thumping loudly
againet ber ribs as she descended into
the darkness. But she kept on.
She opened a back door softly and
listened. No sound came to ber ears.
She crept out. There was a long shad
ow on the line to tbe barn. She kept in
it, thankful that the moon had not yet
grown old enougb to furnish any light.
She reached tbe barn in safety, and
the big dogs sprang on her, wild with
pleasure at the unexpected visit of their
mistress. She bade them to stay down.
Three men came round the corner of
tbe house. They stopped aghast as tbey
saw the white-robed figure coming tow
ards them. Two men with a mattered
command ran in at the door she had
left open behind her. The other one
came towards her.
With mounting courage she went oat
to meet him. A real man was not half
so terrible as tbe imaginary ones she
bad been carrying in her mind. She
thrust her revolver into bis face.
"Sick him I" she cried. And the
faithful dogs sprang at the intruder, who
tnrned and fled, while tbey snapped at
bis heels.
The other men dashed out. One of
them aimed a vicious blow at the head
of the yoang'girl. She answered it with
a shot. Then came tbe shrieks of the-
girls upstairs, unable longer to contain
themselves. And then tbe burglars
ran, the dogs tearing at them as they
went.
At daylight blood was found upon tbe
ground, but whether it was drawn by a
bullet or tbe teeth of the dogs can only
be conjectured. A fall kit of burglar's
tools was found on the place. Miss
.trench is tne hero of Port Republic.
MAKING LOVE FOR HIRE.
The "Cutter-Out," Who Is Employed to
Break dp Undesirable Attachments.
A new profession that of the "cutter-out"
is thus discussed by the Sat
urday Review: "The world is over-populated
with amiable, good-looking
young- men, highly educated, .healthy
and wholly incapable of earning their
livelihoods. No ingenuity can provide
berths for all of them, but come might
be employed as 'cutters-out.' This is
a new profession. The duties of the
'cutter-out' are few, simple and agree
able, lie or she has merely to make
love and to ride away. Thus, put it
that some one's daughter, niece, or, it
may be, favorite cousin, has become
engaged to a man who is not lilted or
approved by the family. To resist her
choice is futile. Opposition merely
fans the flame of passion. So you send
a note or telcrrsm to the central office
of the 'Society for the Utilization of
Johnnies,' and iu?y dispatch a cutter
out, lie is ynnnjr, handsome, agreea
ble, perhaps a lord or an honorable a
baronet very likely. His duty may be
explained ia a vrord he is to cut out
the young Judy's affianced lover, to
make her out of conceit with that disa
greeable person, and then to retire
gracefully to some outlandish part of
tne globe. The scheme is poculiarly
valuable to parents, but anyone may
make use of it. Of course there may
also be, and should be, female cutters
out, to be slipped at young men who
have entangled their affections unde
sirably. Lord Algernon is fond of
the rector's daughter, of the gardener's
daughter, or whom you will. In
stead of crying, if you are his lady
mother, or swearing, if you are the
duke, you Bend up to the Central depot
for a really' first-class cutter-out, mar
ried lady preferred. In a very few
weeks the rector's daughter, or the
gardener's daughter, is as disconsolate
as Calypso, and then the cutter-out
disappears, carrying with her the re
spectful homage of the family whom
she has rescued."

Nat Pet Fancies or Horrors of Prominent
People of Both Hemispheres.
Most men are ashamed of their su
perstitions, because they hate to be
laughed at, yet we have known many
to make fun of the weaknesses of others
merely to keep their own courage up,
says the New York Press. Nearly oil
of the greatest men in history were
the victims of a silly superstition.
Marshal Saxe, who met and overthrew
armies, fled at the sight of a cat. Pe'er
the Great dared not cross a bridge. Dr.
Johnson would not enter any door or
passage with his left foot first. CaeSar
was thrown into convulsions by the
sound of thunder. Queen -Elizabeth
could not bear to hear the name of
Mary of Scotland mentioned. Theword
death," or its French equivalent, would
so disconcert Talleyrand as to unfit
him for all business. If a hare crossed
Montaigne's path he was miserable for
month, imagining all sorts of hor
rors. Voltaire, the fearless mocker,
shook with alarm on hearing rocks
cawing on his left. .Rousseau looked
under his bed every night before retir
ing. Lord Bryon succumbed before the
weakest prejudice and was a victim of
all the petty superstitions of his day.
Andrew Jackson cut off the tails of
his hounds and buried them under the
doorstep, believing " this to be a sr. re
means of keeping the peck from wan
dering away. - Washington would make
wish and bow nine tunes to the new
moon, uartteld, wno looKea in a glass
oil day, dared not come face to face
with one in the dark. We might go on
and name hundreds of similar cases.
Great .and small, old and young, weak
and strong all have their superstitions.
Tbe Woodmen's entertainment last
night was a very pleasant affair. Tbe
biage was oeautituny aecoratea with a
miniature forest, and in front where
tbe footlights are placed was ranged a
row of magnificent bouquets.
The program was well rendered, the
tableaux being very pretty. Mr. Fal
kenberg is a graceful speaker, has a fine
command of language, and kopt the
large audience interested for an hour or
more in explanation of the workings of
Woodcraft. Some of bis stories were
very amueing, some toucbingly pathetic,
and tbe audencft responded quickly to
bis touch upon tbe keys of his feelings.
He was followed by Mrs. Van Orsdell,
who spoke in behalf of the circle for a
short time.
Following tbe statusque posing, the
floor was cleared and dancing was kept
up until shortly after midnight.
The hall was crowded, tbe exercises
interesting, and the entertainment as a
whole a decided success.
BIDDY'S HALF
HOLIDAY.
Before
Heat Wonderful Law Presented
the New Zealand House.
The New Zealand house of repi
sentatives has been doing some wonder
ful things, and its latest achievement is
a bill for a statutory half holiday for
domestic servants, which has already re
ceived its second reading. According
to this proposal, every mistress is bound
to turn her servants out of her house
from three p. m. until ten p. m. one
day in every week. If the servant is
found employed at her ordinary work
during the statutory half holiday, the
mistress will be liable to a penalty of
$25. If the servants return to their
homes for food during the time men
tioned, the mistress must wait on them
or be mulcted to the same tune, but we
take it, says the Westminster Gazette,
that the mistress has a legal right to'
refuse admittance. The result will be
that a large number of the servants
in the town, being country girls with
out friends, will be driven to parade the
streets for these six hours of compul
sory holiday. The humorous complete
ness of this proposal will, we are afraid,
be fatal to its chances of becoming law.
A prominent lady politician has al
ready avowed her preference for a
statutory half holiday for overworked
mothers of large families who have no
servants. The husband will then' be
compelled to remain at home and mind
his house in the absence of his wife.
Deafness Cannot be Cnred
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of tbe ear.
There is only one way to enre deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is In
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed, Deafness is tbe result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever ; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars ,for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)

A courtship remarkable for its length
is that of Abram Maris, aged 60 years,
and Miss Sarah B. Williams, aged 57
j'ears, arndt- the scene is Damascus, a
quaint little Quaker village of Ken
tucky. Both bride and groom are
among the wealthiest members of the

for 40 years met each other on Sunday
at the old brick church in their quaint
village. The attachment between them
began when Miss Williams was a rosy

making was a smile and a minute's con
