The thermometer fall last night to
three above zsro. Such cold weather
in November Is very unusual here. Mr.
S. L. Brooks Informs us that the ther
mometer has gone so low only twice in
the past tweuty-six years. The other
time was towards the end of November
nM. That year the Columbia was frozen
over on the 29th.
The Antelope Republican of Tuesday
says: This is the coldest day of the
year so far. The thermometer stood at
4 above zero at 7 o'clock this morning
and at 11 :30 stands at 18 above. Yes
terday snow fell to the depth of about
an inch and a half, and last night a cold
driving wind blew from the east. This
is unusual for this time of year
The east-bound passenger trains due
here at 9:15 last night and 12:45 this
morning, did not arrive till near noon.
The delay was caused by the breaking
down of a trestle east of Bonneville
while a freight train was passing over it,
precipitating some dozen cars to the
ground. As the fall was short, no par
ticular damage was done to the cars and
n body was hurt.
Sheriff Kelly bas collected over $00,
WO of the '99 taxes or within about
$7,000 of the whole amount. This, we
belive, beajs the record of twenty yean.
The result is that the county teasurer is
now figuring on a call of county warrants
that will include all outstanding up to
3 years and 2 months from date. This is
the shortest period for outstanding
warratits in 16 vears.
A Blarney Cattle story, involving a
pretty little Irish girl, is being told in
Dublin. Several visitors were exploring
the famous castle, and on reaching the
top became somewhat nervous owing to
ths great height. Presently a young
nan appeared, and, being a stranger,
asked to have the real Blarney stone
pointed out to him that he might fo'low
the ancient custom and kiss the ancient
relic. The process of kissing the stone
is rather a dangerous one, and the young
woman, in her nervous state, not caring
to have the feat attempted In her pres
ence, exclaimed : "Oh please don't kiss
the stone while I am here." The stran
t, it is hinted, politely acceded to her
request, but not exactly in the way she
"leant.
The fourth annual convention of coun
ty jil lues iwid assessors opened yesterday
morning in the city hall, PorJmid. The
'tain purpose of thr; gathering is to se
uru no quitable system of taxation
laws ami a uniform administration
thrnugiiont the state. Yesterd iy' woik
was mainly concerned with the, prelim
inaiy nrganiziliiti ami the) consideration
of committee reports. In the remaining
two days' session the niort important
nialtr to come before the convention
will be the drafting of an assessment
hill to he presented to the next legisla
ture. Wasco county is represented in
the convention by Judge lllakeley, Com

ca?tsof diphtheria lo the neighborhood
of Canbv, to Clackamas county, says the

been busy there, also physicians from

Ibis is sorjewhat new to the medical
profusion, but it is already recognized
as a wonderful discovery, and one which
has brought the awful scourge within
the easy control of physicians where
taken in time. The state reform school
recently had some cases of diphtheria,
and the aolitoxine remedy was employe.!
there with success. It was quick and
effective. The antitoxine is injected,
like morphine, with an instrument pro
vided for the purpose, and the principle
is the eradication of the poison from the
blood of the patient. There have been
three deaihs of children from diphtheria
in the Cai.by neighborhood, but these
were either not treated with antitoxine
or the physicians were called too late.
In response to a telegram from the
Portland chief of police Special Night
watchman Alisky today arrested on the
train a Creole named C. C. Adams and
a girl of the same stock named Bell
Black, who were on the way to Salt
Lake. The arrest was on the complaint
of Frank Black who claims to be the
woman's husband. Black accuses the
woman, who denies that she was ever
married to him, of stealing $250. The
truth seems to be that the girl bas been
living with Black for sjme yearB. The
couple have just returned from Alaska
where Black cleaned up five or six hun
dred dollars, presumably in gambling.
The girl claims that Black has beaten
and abused her till she could stand it
no longer. So l&tt night she pawned
her diamond ear-rings for $60 and
Adams pawned his watch and some
trinkets for $15, and with this sum they
took passage for Salt Lake. Both were
thoroughly se.-Thed here but no money
was found on them beyond the balance
of the $75 after deducting the price of
their ticket. They are a bad lot, all of
them, without a doubt, but there is no
reason why the woman should not be
allowed to get rid of her brute paramour
if she wants to. There is not a particle
of evidence that she ever took a cent
from the fellow, but he has money and
will have her back under his power by
hook or crook. An officer is expected
from Portland tonight to take the trio
bick there.

Skating is said to be good on the
sloughs above town, and many young
folks are enjoying themselves accord
ingly. The Oregon supreme court has re
manded the case of Henry Gardner vs.
Wasco county for retrial, the judgment
of the lower court being reversed
The Marion county court will reduce
the assessment in that county about
$600,000, thus avoiding about $-1000 of
the state tax. Other counties will prob
ably do the same.

(H0. Judge lllakeley returned toilsy from
attending the assessors' convention at
Portland. He says the convention was
largely in favor of a state board of equal
ization, and that they recommended
that the state be divided for the purpose
of assessment into seven districts, cor
responding nearly to the judicial dis
tricts. Justice Brownhill and Recoider Gates
went to Viento this afternoon to bold
an inquest on one W. II. Jones, fore
man of a Japaneee rang, who has been
missing since Saturday night, but was
found today about 100 feet from tbe
treetle west of Viento. Justice Bird, of
the Viento precinct, bas jurisdiction in
tbe case and it will be interesting to
know what business The Dalles justices
have down that way.
Henry F. Cassidy, who bas been pub
lishing the Baker City Herald for several
months, and who exposed the manipu
lations of a mining man named Letson
Balliet, was arrested at Baker City Sat
urday on two charges of criminal libel,
ono growing out of an article appearing
in the Herald, under Cassidy 's manage
ment, and tbe other fcr the circulation
of a handbill on Saturday attacking the
plaintiff over his, Caesidy's, signature.
Cassidy was arraigned before a justice
and put under $230 bonds on each
charge J. H. Parker and William Poll
man furnishing the bonds. The cases
will come before the circuit court at
Baker, which convenes next week.
The wheat market in Europe and tbe
East bas been a very tame affair this
week, says the Oregonian. There was
a noticeable lack of strength in nearly
all the big markets of tbe world, the op
pressing factor being large visi Die sup
plies and heavy shipments from quar
ters which were expected to export
spaiingly. Added to this were much
better reports from the Argentine, and
a total lack of speculative interest in the
American markets. The Pacific oast
markets bave felt this weakness less
than those of any other section, for the
reason that a decline in freights has en
abled exporters to hold the p-Ice up
locally to very near the figure at which
it ruled before the recent decline in
other markets. Walla Walla was quoted
yesterday at 54 cents, and there were
the usual reports that half a cent more
was being offered at interior points,
where competition was sharp. Blue
stem is nominally 57 cents, with less
demand proportionately than exists for
Walla Walla.

While A. M. Gillis, a contractor, was

him if bis name was Gillis. He ac
knowledged that it was and the hobo
produced a letter and asked if it be
longed to him. Mr. Gillis looked at the
superscription and saw that the letter
did belong to him, thanked the hobo
and stuck the letter in his pocket. The
hobo told him there might be something
valuable in the letter and advised him
to open it aud see. Mr. Gillis was busy,
ho ever, and went up onto the roof of
the warehouse and resumed work.
Later he had a little leisure and opened
I the letter. He drew forth a check in

The suggestions agreed upon by tbe
convention of Oregon county judges and
assessors, now in session in Portland
are embodied in the following resolu
tions, which were adopted yesterday:
'We recommend that all real property
be assessed by description or number.
or by legal subdivisions, or by metes
and bounds, or lots or blocks, as the
case might require, rather than to the
name of the owner or supposed owner;
and that tbe valuation be placed on the
I same only every two years; and that-
the Improvements on all real property be
considered as part of the same.
"When errors occur in any description
of real property, the sheriff or tax col
lector shall bave the power to correct
the same, when satisfied of such error.
"We would further recommend that
the form of the assessment roll be mad
in such a manner that it may be used
for the tax collector's roll, and for the
delinquent tax sale, and that town and
city lots be put up in separate books.
"We also recommend that the first
Monday in January of each year be fixed
as the date of valuations, to be placed
on all property.
We recommend that assessors be
elected for a term of four years.
We recommend that a committee of
five be appointed to draft and prepare
suitable assessment blanks to carry
these recommendations into effect, and
that this committee be authorized to
employ legal service, the county courts
of the several counties to pay for the
same,
"That the treasurer shall be collector
of taxes up to the time they become de
linquent ; that the sheriff thad collect
the delinquent taxes.
"That if the present law is not ade
quate it should be made so that levy
or a Ivert 8 ng on real property or sale
of time for delinquent taxes should not
be made necessary.
"That nil taxes should become due
