"Time and tide awaits not the actions
of no iiimii," aaya an old adage, and a
miiiaenia aolemn refluvtion only re
minds one too vividly of the truthful
nuaa of the aayinir. Weeks succeeding
ditya, months succeedinir weeks, and

time which has preceded them, and so
on until we iind ourselves a buck num

The execution of John Rieter, the
Claieop county murdorer, took place
at Antoria last jr nriHy, and waa wit'
nested by some 200 invited sieclator.
The crime for which Kieler paid the
extreme penalty of the law war Ibn
brutul murder of Victor Suellman on
a lonely mountain road between Olnev
and Astoria. Rieter confessed 1 i -
crime aud acknowledged the juntice of
the penally he wa receiving for it.
Rieter waa the Oral person to be lei!'
ally executed iu Clatsop county. He
was a native of Germany, twenty
three year old, and has two siatera
aud three brother in the old country.
John Haasen, who murdered hi aged
wife and waa to have been hanged with
Kk'ter, waa respited until December 8,
pending the hearing f a motion for a
new trial. Hanaen is 63 year of age,
and a confirmed drunkard. He mur
dered hia wife to obtain posaesaion of
$1200 which she had in the bunk. It
ia not thought probable that executive
clemency will interfere to save hia neck.
It ia known even to Salem people
that Columbia county had a populist
sherifT, and a peeking of the atrange
and sudden disappearance of him, the
Daily Statesman' haa the following to
say in an editorial: "lha bondsmen
of the pnpulial sheriff of Columbia
county who will have to pay bis $5000
shortage, since he ha skipped and
gouo beyond (he reach of grape-vine
or pumpkin-vine dispatches, are form
er democrats and republicans who
went off after atrange political sod.
The only recommendation that the
fellow hud was that he claimed to be
a populist and these bondsmen see
at length that this is nut sufficient re
reenmmendatiou to bank on. This
will entirely kill .the pumpkin-vine
party down there. Rather expensiv
funeral for A poor bondsman, though.'
That Sheriff Masaie left St. Helens

bv all aa a foreicone conclusion. Ma
sia'a office aff.irs are in an awful shape,
and it will take the constant care of
au experienced man to get head or

formation haa ao far reached here con
cerning hi whereabouts, further than
a few line in Wednesday evening
Telegram, stating that he hud been

by a traveling niau. It i the gener

As a result of an effort put forth by
persons at thia place and at Vernonm.
we are enabled to receive mail direct
from the Nehulem valley the aame day
it leaves Vernonia. The mail from
Vernonia and Pittsburg arrives al
Houlton at 4 p. m. and is brought to
this office immediately.. Patrons of
il, e Mres al both ends of the route
find Ibis a great convenience, and
those through whose efforts this ar
rangement wa brought hooui are ae
aervinir of considerable credit for their
nnerirv in lha matter. Heretofore it
has been necessary to wait one uuy ioi
mail to be conveyed from Houlton to
this office and the same from here to
Houlton, but under the present regime
we are aupplied with a complete
service.
Stranae meteorological conditions

of them are absolutely unable to fo
tell the future weather conditions from

Mr. and Mrs. A. Widger gave a basket
party at tb-ir home Thanksgiving evening .
Owing to the inclrmenoy of the weather all

R. Ounnuings and wife, A Molt and wife.

Boine years ago we heard a gentleman re
mark that a streak of hard times was a
good thing for any new country. We did
not agree with his Idea yet we nil know that
tne past summer. and in fact the entire year,
waa a dull one. The w.ige-eurner wbo al
ways found plenty of 'employment waa
forced into idleness , but those wbo have
homes have not been wasting their time 1"
vain. When times were flush they always
worked for good wages away from home,
and done little or no improvement, in fact
leaving that job for a ''rainy day." Itseema
that the "rain) day" has oome, especially
to this part of the country, and as a conse
quence the ranchers are improving their
homes by enlarging or constructing new
buildings, clearing land, building fences,
etc. One thing is the farmer must pay ids
attention to a better method of farming.
w hrd a farmer remark that one acre of
wheat would fatten six grown hogs. That
means that a laat vear shout would weigli
two hundred pounds. Two hundred pounds
at eight centa a pound is equal to$l.00 and
that multiplied by six equals ItW.OO off of
one acre of wheat, but of course your shoats
rost vou something. Well , if you are the
owner of a sow and have an sore of clover
pasture with plenty of water, and some slop
from vour house, we venture to say that
vniir shoats did not coot you very muoh.
This la what son: of our farmers ore be
ginning to see. Hard times are beginning
to make ns all open our eyes and crane our
ceoks a little more to look for aomething
beiter tMan lla'ring ourselves away working
for w.ge.

Backward, turn backward, O time, in your

Let the mill whistles sound promptly to
night; Just sa they sounded anear and abroad
Before we voted protection a fraud.
Let the smoke pour again out of the stacks
And we'll pay without murmur the "din
ner null tux."
No one will grumble and no one will shirk
If you'll lust give us work, Grovei, just
" give us work.
We have grown tired of walking the street,
Littleones waiting for aomething to eat;
Tired of hearing our congressmen spout,
Tired of reading that you've got the gout;
So, if you care tor us as you pretend,
Why don't you hustle so matters will mend?
Danger and suffering in idleness lurk,
Give us some work, Grover, give us some
work- .
If it's true that the tariff was robbing ns
sure.
And with it prosperity could not endure;
Since we all voted for it, now isn't it trange
That not the first man of us has any
"change?"
Except in condition, for its true that we all
Huve lost the good jobs we were holding
last fall. ... .
Skilled artisan, laborer, bookkeeper, .clerk.
We're all out of work, Grover, all out of
work. . ...
If It's tine as you say, that impatient you
J'eurn,
To do the poor man of your land a great
Why don't you just do it, not talk through
vour bat?
And then the dear people will know where
you're at.
