A Singular Coincidence. A ain
gular condition of thinga ia aaid by
the Corvallia Timea to exiat among
numerous band of ahcep in Benton
county. No Icaa than a doxeu aheep
owner have recently discovered one
or two ecabby sheep in a flock of
healthy onea. The fact of finding one
or two budly diseased aheep among
othera perfectly healihy, and in ao
many caaea haa led thoae familiar
with the occurrence to believe that
tbe thing ha not happened by chance,
but the icabby aheep have been placed
In healthy flocka by deeign. It ia, of
oourae hard to believe that there are
persons in the country who could do
o dastardly an act, but it might be
well for aheep growora to keep a
weather eye on their band.
Bebved Him Rioht. In a grimy,

aid to hia assistant, who waa alightly
unsteady from the effecta of a "drop
or two," "I'll race you for a ahave and
I'll bet the drinka I can finish in 6J
minutes." "Done," aay the assistant,
and they plunged for the throat of
their victim and rasped away at their
hide. "Ouch," yelled U assistant
man, as he parted with cuticle and
beard at the eame time. He waa a
still, tmall man and made no proteat,
a the assistant's raxor bobhed around
hia noae. By the time 6J minutes
were over the boss barber was comb
ing hia man' hair. Half a minute
later the aasiatant waa done. The as
istant'a man started out without
paying. Tho aasiatant followed him.
Wheie'a my pay?" he aaked. "What
will you give me for 'my aore face!"
returned the other "You'll never ahave
me again," and then he hauled off and
hit the barber on the atarbnard of the
jaw. The barber didn't think it worth

would have him arrra ed.. The war

ACTION TAKEN BY CONGRESS
President's Message Endorsed
by Both Houses.
The House Paaaed a Bill Appro
prlatlng Money for Special
Commission.
Washihgtoh, Deo. 18. Mr. Hltt re
ported in the house this morning aa
soon a It had been called to order,
and asked unanimous cooseut, for tbe
consideration of a bill to empower the
president to appoint a commission to
conamer the Venezuela . boundary
qnestfon, and an appropriation of
9100,000 for the expense thereof. The
text of the bill ia a follow:
"Bo it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United
Slates of America, In congreaa tassem
bled, that the sum of $100,000 or so
much thereof aa may be necessary, be
and the same is hereby appropriated
for the expense of a commission to
be appointed by the president to in
vestigate and report npon the true
diviaional line between the republic of
Venezuela and British Quiana."
A scene of considerable excitement
followed the requeat for unanimous
consent to consider the bill, which had
been loudly applauded when read by
the clerk.
Boutelle stated that he dialiked to
object to the consideration of such
bill, "but," aald he, "it aeema that thi
subject is one of such aerioua import
ance that the house of representative
should proceed in a decorous manner
to consider it. The president' mes
sage waa read but yeaterday, and it
aeema to me the gentlemen may not
be ready to pas upon a bill of thia
importance without deliberation."
Crioa of "Ready, ready," from the
republican aide interrupted Boutelle,
but he proceeded, urging that the
matter waa one which affected the
relatione of the two great English
speaking nations ot the world."
Speaker JJocb the gentleman object?
Boutelle aaid he had merely sue
gested the hope that the bill would go
to the committee.
Hitt announced that ho had only
desired to y a word concerning the
bill and it purpose. He would do so,
he said, ''Without mentioning thia side
or that aide, for be hoped there would
not be two sides when it came to a
question like this. There waa a re
quest made by the president for help
from the bonae to enable him to exer
cise hia executive functions. "The
thing for ua to remember as patriots,"
said Hitt. "i that the auccesa of our
country depend upon our maintain
ing a united front, and that our gov
ernment should apeak for all the peo
ple of the United States." The sug
gestion of the president was for judi
cial investigation. He was sure it was
made in the proper spirit, and the oc
ca-ion required that the country
should act a one man. We have had
a long time to consider the Monroe
doctrine; we may not agree with all
the details outlined by the president
and Secretary Olney, but any discus
jiou here will prove a help to those
acroaa the aea. 1 nope ine Din win
pass."
Hitt moved the previous question
but Crisp aecured permission to eay a
word. He began:
"I apeak for all this side of the house,
where there is no division aa to the
propriety of passing the bill. This
house respectfully invited Great Brit
ain to arbitrate the boundary question
between Venesuolaand British Guiana
and sue bat declined, now wuat are
we to do? If the American people
have a fixed opinion on any question
it is that no European country cau
acquire territory on the American
continent by force."
Hilt entreated Crisp, in view of tbe
magnitude of the iuteresta involved
not to precipitate a hasty discussion.
Crisp replied that the republicans
bad introduced the bill be attempted
to brine in yesterday, and continued,
saying that if the boundary could not
be ascertained by arbitration wiih the
participation of Great Britain, the
United Statea should ascertain it at
onoe, "and when we have ascertained
where it ia," he concluded, "we should
have the courage and manhood to
maintain it."
McCreary and Boutelle were shout
ing for recognition, but Hitt refused to
yield tbe floor, and the previous quea
tion waa carried with a ahout of "ayes'
and no opposing voice.
IN THE SENATE.
The committee on foreign relation
today decided to sit during holiday re
cess for the consideration of the Ven
ezuela queation in it entirety. It ia
the intention to take it up in all its
phases, and to that end they will have
before them all the report and docu
ment bearing upon the subject. The
result of thia inquiry in all prob
ability, will be a resolution defining
the position of the United States on
the Venezuelan dispute, coupled witb
the declaration of the Monroe doctrine.
The republicans will oontinue their
efforts to have the committee filled
before the adjournment for the holi
days in order to give the proceedings
full weight. There is no uouui ex
pressed in any quarter that congress
will grant the requeat of the president
to be allowed to appoint a commission
to consider the question, but the feol
ing in congress appears to be that con
great should conduot an inquiry of its
own.
It would not be necessary, it is eaid,
at the senate, for the committee to
leave the United Statea for all maps,
surveys, treaty and other documents
are said to be available in Washing
ton. It is presumed that the Venez
uela government would be willing to
supply any papers in ita poaossion,
which might be wanted.
There is also talk of the necessity of
completing the organization of tbe
committee on naval affairs, with the
view of baviDg it ait durinst recess.
Chandler's bill to strengthen the
military armament, which, wiih others,
will require early consideration in
case complications reach a more aoule
sluge, reads as follows :
"That the president be, and he is
hereby authorized and direoted to
strengthen the military armament by
adding thereto equipment for the use
of 1,000,000 rifle, 1000 guns for field
artillery and not exceeding 6000 heavy
gun for fortification; to be procured
by manufacture in the arsenals or by
contract for manufacture, or by di
rect purchase in the country, or else
where, according to the direction of
tbe president, who ahall conform.
when practicable and without unwise
delay, to th method prescribed for
making contracts and purchase by
existing law.
The sum of $1,000,000 is hereby
approprlted to carry, into effect the
provisions of this act."
Grout today introduced in the bouse
a bill for the appropriation of $100,000,
000 for defenae of the seaboard and
Canadian frontier. Tbe bill proposes
to raise the fund by 80-year 3 per
cent coin bonda in several denomina
tions, to be (old at the tdbtreasurie
and postofflce.
Lightning on a Tear.
Tillamook, Or., Dee. 16. Friday there
wa an unusual electric display In tbl vi
cinity. There were sa veral vivid displays
of sheet lighlniug across the heavens, seem
ing to permeate all space with flashes of
fire, acoompanled with tremendous crashes
of thunder. Several trees and bouses were
struck, though no serious damage was done.
Tbe public school building was struck and
balls of fire rolled around permlscuously In
very room, causing a panic among the
school children. Mors than half a dozen
children were burned, causing blisters, and
the clothing on several was burned more
or less, and a number bad to be carried
home. Tbe physicians were busy (or a
while, but, strange to say, no serious con
sequences resulted, except to Charles Peter
son's little girl, who is still confined to her
bed, suffering from several well defined
burns and severe nervous prostration. The
same phenomenon waa noticed in several
dwelling houses, and aeveral cases of elec
trical burns are reported. Lightning came
into the telegraph office, but did little dam
age there. Nothing like it wa ever seen
before, so all say, and it seems tbe whole
locality was pervaded with the peculiar el
ectrical demonstration. The storm was fol
lowed by a very low barometer.

Discovery, as the results were almost mar
velous in the case oi my wife. While I wus
pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junc
tion ahe was brought down with pneumonia
succeeding la erippe. Terrible paroxysms
of coughing would last hours with little in
