Somktiiinu Wroho. A gentleman was in from l'ittsburg Monday and in formed u that TliK Miht doe not ivach that place "Until the following Monday utter iti publiihed, and that this had been the case for the past six weeks. We also received a letter from the postmaster at PitUburg a few day a ago staling that the iaaue of August 1 ('.ill had not yet reached there. The ymr is mailed hero regularly every Thursday evening, and there seem no good rvaaon why it should not reach iu domination in due time. It is shown by analysis of census figures that more than half tlio mon in twenty eigntof the forty-nine statos mid territories are engaged in agricul ture, and that farming is tlio leading .iirMiit in all ol litem except new fumnnhire. Massachusetts, Hliode lUnd, Connecticut and New Jersey, wln.ro inantlfacturing ana mecnauicai itrta take the lead. There are in the United Stales 9,000,000 men engaged in agriculture to ,220.,0(X) in other forma of business. The steady growth .f this country is sullioient proof that intelligent farming pays. DEi.iNguBNTTAXK8. The delinquent tux lust this year ia considerably smaller than usual. One reason for this is that Sheriff Doan has boon very lan iont -with taxpayers, giving thorn time in which to raUa money with which to liquidate, and another is that the lint does not include the property upon wiiteh'iho taxes are dolinqueut this year that Wfti Bid in by the county list ycac. While the tax was already. uYlinqtiont on April 1st laat, the sher iff and county court have extended the tfme as far as , possible, affording every opportunity for delinquents to up. i j1 Wi'i.i, Pick Hops. A number ot young men and boys left this place yesterday for the hop yards of Yamhill nud otlieia-valloy counties. Some go wiih the fond expectation of making n "atnW while others go for the pur pose 'of having a good tune more than Hiiything elso. Hop-picking in not a very profitable occupation, especially by inexperienced hands, and,-too, the price for picking is much lower this year than formerly. Considering all these things it would not be surprising to see some of the party wending their way home in a fow days by tha over land route, limited, with stopover privileges. Tim Bloomino Uloomurr. Several Oregon City young men, says the En surprise, met Tuesday evening and effected a preliminary organization of n auti bloomer society. This agita tion of bloomer crazo leads the Port l.iud Telegram to niiiko the following pointed remarks: "If tho bloomorod woman is a Heeling fad, as most of lier pulpit assailant allege, what is tho iimi of wasting wind and time In denouncing her? A konnei knowledge of lliu feminine temperament would mmiresl Hint the best plan of precipi- lii mi: her retirement would be to ut terly ignore her. A Ditin,K TkaoiciiV. A dispatch irom Astoria slates that about o'clock Tuesday morning Brunei Feakes, tho keeper of a small huckster shop, while in a temporary lit of insanity, il is sup posed, tlrod two shots out of a revolver at his wife, and then deliberately placed tho revolver at his right temple and blew (ho wliolo top of his skull oil', The at tention of I ho neighbors was attracted by the children of tho couple, six in number, who escaped from the hoiiso by jumping out of the window, When tho house was reached Fciikns was found deud on the floor, ami his wile was unconscious from the effects of two wounds in the head, and the physicians think the cannot re cover. It appear that Foukoa hud chastised one of the children, and Mrs Kniikos, on arriving home in the eve ning and hearing of tlu incident, re marked that her husbiiud would have to answer for his conduct in the police court tho following day. During the night a wordy war was in progress, but iu the morning, as was usual, the husband got up and made coffee. He brought some to his wife's room, and she drunk it while silting on the edge of the bed. Bho had iust finished when her husband remarked i "That's the last coffee you will drink, old wo man." Ha then began shooting. The first shot entered above the left breast, and the second ranged upward under Hie collarbone. BiioiiMiieu DiHiiOCATKD. County Judico Dlauoliard is perhaps the moat unlucky man in Columbia county. Last Hattirday while at work with his pile driver at Kulama a handspike which ho was lining gave way lotting him fall through a hole in the wharf about 13 foot to the rocks below, disbi- citting his lelt shoulder, breaking two ribs and aoriously bruising his left leg, side and face. He is again able to bo about, however, carrying Ins arm in a sling. About two years ago Judge ISlanchard, while engaged at similar work, fractured his leg and dislocated his shoulder, in addition to other in juries from which he baa not entirely recovered. The judge la ambitious, however, and notwithstanding his age never irivea up. He was here Monday and Tuesday attending to hi olllcial duties a member ol the county board of equalization. Tiir Portland Exposition. The Portland Industrial Exposition will opon on October Cth, and close on November 5th, 181)5, lasting jutt one month. To the credit of the exposi tion this year it may be said it will be conducted on different plan from that of 1894. It is being promoted en tirely by the business men of Portland instead of by an imporled boomer a last year. The business men of the metropolis have subscribed the sum of 1(10,000 lo be used to make the big fair a success, and sufficiently attract ive to invite inspection by people from all parts of the northwest. The ad mission this year has lieen reduced to i!u cents, or just one half the price charged in former years. Mr. Charles II. Dodd is chairman of the exposition committee and Mr. E. C. Masteu secre tary, which fact, when taken into con sideration tho business interests of these gontlenion in the northwest, in surcs success to tho enterprise. Oiikooh Hors Must Lkad. The hop crop of Oregon is this year far ahead of tho crop on the wound, says the Orcgdnian, and an old dealer iu bops say that, a he has always pre dicted, Oregon will become the banner state of the coast in the hop lino. "Our climatic condition and (oil are such," he continued, "that they cannot be beat. Home roots of the celebrated Bohemian hops have been procured, and are now being cullived here, and it is expeoted that within a short lime Bohemian hops will be produced iu Oregon superior to those produced in Bohemia. , It is found that hops cau bo grown here on high ground as woll as in low ground, and of a hotter qual ity. Some year before long hops will fetch a high price again, and Oregon bopgrowers will make money galore.' Call os Thkm. The "ad" of the Chicago Crockery Store, Portland, ap pear in this issue, togother with prices on a few staple article. Air. lirau shaw, one of the proprietors, has some property interest in this county upon which he pays tax, and annually pays a visit to his place. He takes a great deal of interest in Columbia county affairs. Already the firm enjoy a good patronage from this section of the state, but today quote some prices that are away down. Chickens Galohb. Mr. Thomas Saiddon, of Dear Island, has engaged extensively in the poultry business this year. He ha now 1000 chickens ot this year's hatch, most of which are ready for the market. Mr. Saindon is the blacksmith at Doer Island, but owing to the tailing off of work in the shop he turned his partial attention to poultry winch will, no doubt, net him a handsome sum considering the in vestment. The State Fair. The Oregon Stale Fair will be held at Salem, commenc ing Wednesday, September 25th and continue four days, closing Saturday evening. Great eflorts are being put forth by the manager to make the fair a greator success this year than ever before. "We had an epidemic of dysentery in this vicinity last summer," says Samuel 8. Pollook, of Briceland, Cal. "I was taken wi,th it and suffered se verely until some one raited my atten tion to Chamberlain's. Colio, Cholera Diarrhoaa Remedy. I proonred a bot tle and felt bettor alter the fi rut done. Before one-half of the bottle had been used I was well. I recommended it to my friends and their experience was the same. We all unite in saying it is the best." For salo by Dr. Edwin Robs, druggist. Among the numerous persons who have been cured of rhoumntism by Chamberlain's Pain Dulm, mention should bo mndoof Mrs, Emily Thome, of Toledo, Wash., who says: "I have never been able to prooure any medi cino that would relievo me of iheiima tism like Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I havo also need it for lame back with (treat success. It is the best liniment I have ever lined, and I take pleasure in recommending it to my friends." Fur sale by Dr. Edwin Iloss, druggist.

Out of fifty-eicht applicants for teachers' certificates who took the ex amination in Portland, most of whom were ladies, twenty-eight failed to pass.

Mr. Dow is considerable im proved since his late illness and is able to be about again, superintending the work on his dairy farm.

The long, hot, dry weather makes business good for the insurance men. - People who have property can better afford to let n insurance com pauy carry the risk than to take chances on losing their all by tire ia an endeavor to economize by not in suring. The Quick building on Wikstrom's wharf has been undergoing repairs lately, being remodlcd for the con venience of Messrs Allen & Cleeton. The large safe use by the Columbia Banking Company ha been exposed to view by tho removal of the house lhat was built around it to protect it from burglars from without. The safe is worthless, however, since the com bination lost. The country editor, says one of our exchanges, is expected to be equally at home either at the church or at the ball room, the Sunday school picnic or tho country dance, the re ligious revival or the barroom ball. Ho notes the event of the child when it comes into the world, he reports its wedding, helps it gain places of honor, rejoices with its success, watchos it through hfo, and finally at death leads it to the skies and covers the departed with glory.

The ladies also served ice cream, and from the two sources, we are informed, a snug sum of money was raised. Those who were present aver they enjoyed them' selves. In these days of record breaking, a man is counted a hero who breaks the record of being a fool. The longest bicyclo ride without, a stop, the long' est jump, the deepest dive, etc., all of which can do the world no possible good, constitute record breaking. Still, the man who "breaks the record" in his particular line is oouutod a hero, and carries hiniselt like a peacock. A great many ; people who are never known or heard of, are breaking the record in a humble way by workiott hard nud trying to amount to some- ihiug. Real Eatate Transfers. W. O.
