W, UurrUon, who livus two miles on I
tif town, on nte in tuHt Saturday morn
ing to go to Portland on I ho Ireld,
lie having urueut business In I he city
that day. On arriving here he learned

then necessary to take the train, and
upon belnjr misinformed at to the

Poveiikion Spokb J. H. Sovereign,
of the Knighti of Labor, epoke In thin
fiity lit Tuenduy night upon the po
litical issue of the day from a popu
list ttandpoint. The mooting was
fairly well attended and considerable
enthusiasm win at tlmie manifest.
Those in sympathy with the speaker'
idea thought it a fine speech, while
those who take issue with him pro
nounce the effort a failure, inasmuch
at the speaker severely criticised the
legislation pf the two old parti .is, yet
cm not oner any remedy in ease the
Iopulitt got into power.
Laborino Undhr a Mistake. The
newspaper ie considered the legitimate
prey of ell classes, anil consequently I
printing bill is the lust omi to be paid
A very large per cent of the puhlio
eem to take it for granted that a
printer does not need money; that he
lias nothing else to do but work in
eessanlly for the public good and pay
for the privilege. There are those per
one who have money for every other
purpose save paying their bills. If
., some who owa ua bad our bille to
meet at the end of each month tbey
. might discover that little ennb was
' necessary to carry on the business,
. ana forthwith present themselves at
' the business office for an accounting.
Thebb Ark Nummous. The busi
ness man who is always ready to say
"it doesn't pay to advertise," Is always
very anxious to have a note made of
the fuct that he has just received a
, large invoice of goods direot from the
factory, eto. And the person who
sloes not subscribe for his home paper,
- out who, by the way, reads It every
. week, ie always watching to see some
mention in its columns of himself or
family. Aud again the local paper is
expected to work to promote the gen
oral intoreslsof the community, ad vo
rate new enterprises, to defend the
. good name of the citizens collectively
, and Individually yet those who re
ceive think "it doesn't pay to edver
tise,"or, "I can't afford to subscribe."
Stay AT Homb There is no ques
tion but what the men who have been
rushing off to Alaska, Cripple Creek,
and most other place for gold have
: made sad mistakce. The Salem Post
telle of one Citset A man arrived in
Bulem today from Cripple Creek. Col
orado, who does not paint the situa
tion there in the most rosy hue. He
elated that he woe able to ride there,
but had to walk back, and is now on
the way to his home near Myrtle
Point, Coos county. He said the laud
for sixty miles around Cripple Creek
was staked out in mining claims, and
v that very few of them are worth the
paper the claim notice ie written upon.
There are 4000 idle men in the dis
trict at present, who have no mean
of getting away from the place but by
walking- Everything in the way of a
' necessity is very high priced. Rooms
are so scarce and cosily that men are
glad to pay GO cent for the privilege
of occupying a chair In a loon dur
ing the night.
Rawmill Entanglements. Smith' j
mill at Rainier ha of late attracted
, considerable attention. First a com
pany was formed consisting of one of
' the owners and two others, and oper-
. tlous were to begin at once. A raft
of log wa pnrohaeed and delivered
to the mill, sices were purchased to
start the meeshouae and other ar
rangement made. About this time
Smith died, leaving the two new part
ner In charge. Meantime thepartie
from whom the raft was purchased
wanted their money, but it oould not
be had. A few day Inter one of the
remaining lessee succeeded in ousting
the other, and from this time the en
tanglement lucreased at a rapid rate.
The ousted partner, who in person,
bad purchased the raft of logs, but
who had not paid for them, deter
mined to have the logs and negotiated
a sale of them to a down river saw
mill at a less price, so the story goes,
than ho agreed to pay the original
owners. The party iu charge of the
mill refused to permit the log to be
taken away, whereupon a little later
under cover of darkness a tow boat
wa secured and ere morning dawned
the sawing were- well on their way to
a second market, still in their unfin-
fshod state. The atory is a long one,
end ! not yet complete.

MORIS POINTED REMARKS.
. Visnosia, Or.. May 11, 1898.
Editors Mist: The difference between
myself and the managing element of the
county populist convention Is a matter of
principle and not a matter or office, as the
"organ'' of tbe "judge" would fain make
believe. I presented tbe following resolu
ttnna to ths committee on resolutions, of
which W. A. Wood was. chairman, and R.
Sessemsn was also a member:
"Whereas, Tbe stateconstitution. Article
11, Section 10, provides that no county shall
inenr a debt to exceed $6000; therefore be It
"Resolved, That any excess over the con
stitutions! limit is without law. and there
fore, void, and any tax levied by the county
conrt to pay either Interest or principal of
such excess of Indebtedness Is in violation
of the official oath ot sold court,"
Mr, Wood read the resolutions cartfully
and remarked that "every word ef them
were true. , But ihey (the convention) dare
not adopt thsra for they (tbe 'republicans)
would call us snarohlsts." I then pre
scnted the resolutions to the convention
which, through the ignoramus In the chair,
by his arbitrary dictum, utterly Ignored
their consideration. Many of the members
of the convention, when they began to
comprehend the substance of the resolu
tions, severely orlticised the tyrannical
action of the chair. As the matter con
tained in the resolutions was lb "only
clean cut and positive declaration of re
form" in the administration of the county
affairs if adopted by the convention it fol
lowed logically that I, being the author of
those resolutions, would therefore, by all
precedent and fair dealing, would and
should be the nominee of the Convention
for the chief offloer on the county board.
Mr. Wood ssw this, and knowing that the
eentral committee liad slated the office to
Sesseman, refused to adopt the resolutions
although "svery word of them were true."
If the hope of reform depends on such
cowardlse in facing an Issue and defending
the poo pie against being deprived of their
"constitutional rights" by a few perjured
officeholders, then It is high time to purge
the present organization oftbeoffieeseeklng
blood sucking cowsrdice or organize anew,
' I was certain that the legal points in the
resolutions wore absolutely unbailable,
and I wished to establish the Inconsistency
and cowardice ol the committee on resolutions.-
I therefore pressnted the resolu
tions to Joseph Gaston, populist candidate
for supreme JuJge and as able a Jurist as
the state can boast, who was present and
addressed the convention In tbe evening,
Mr. Gaston said: "Did the convsntioa
adopt those resolutions?" I ssld "No."
Gaston said: "What reason could they
offer for not adopting them. Every Judi
cial point Is correct, and If we bad a su
preme court worth a cent they would de
cide evory point favorably contained therein
and more. Any tax levied containing any
part of suoh unconstitutional excess either
for Interest or principal would make void
the sale of property sold for such taxes and
ths executlvi arm ot the county w. u!d be
paralyzed,"
Now this wise (?) committee will vote for
Mr. Gaston bat will play tbe coward and
dodge an Issue, "every word of which Is
true," because forsooth, raised by tbe man
they desired to crush. Verily consistency
is a Jewell, but It is in a bog's snout In tbe
hands of W. A. Wood's committee on res
olutions. M. Davisob.
I will condescend to notice S few bold
sertloiis made by the "judge's" organ, and
as the article la question is the leading edi
torial In the issue of May 7th, it shows bow
highly favored is the "Judge's" Interests
"When a men claims an election on two
votes Is counted out, and ia appointed
when there Is no vacancy and his bonds
men verify to less than tbe law allows, ete.
There were seven votes esst (or recorder, of
which R. Sessemsn, received two sad M
Davison Ave, but on a technical point the
election wo decided illegal, and Davison
was appointed. As to the bond, the coun
cil had so much confidence in their ap
polntee if it bad not been a matter of form
they weuld have required no bond at sit
In the Issue of Ths Mist of tbe 8th Inst.,
I see an article signed " R. Sesseman,
Tbe band la the band of Essn, but the
voice is the voles of Jacob." It ssys: "We
are sorry (that is, 8esseman and the writer)
that his ( Davison's) petition for a place on
the populist ticket for Judge met with such
poor success In his own neighborhood."
This statement is made out of whole
cloth and there is not a word of truth in it,
not even a shadow of troth. I did not
wish to impeach tbe veracity of the learned
(?) "Judge," but be has compelled me to do
so, and I challenge tbe proof as I am not
expected to prove a negative. But I will
say Mr. Frank Baker circulated a petition
(so I am Informed) in favor of ousting
Sesseman and putting the name of I. W,
Detrick on in bis place. I did not sign the
petition, neither did I see it. Sesseman'
man, "Friday," "chief counselor," eto.
writes in a grsndiloquent VanDykian style.
and if be continues writing for Illiterate
candidates be may yet reap bia reward and
write bis name high ou the temple of fame.
M. Davisoh,
TERNONIA VARIETIES.
Editor Mitchell and family of the Sen
tinel was visiting in Vernonia Sunday.
J. B. Dow, Ralph Rodgsrs and Deasle
Wilson are attending the teachers examin
ation at 8t. Helens this week.
The populist ciowd from Vernonia built
a boat especially for the purpose of attend
ing the populist speaking at Mist.
0. W. Blakesley, our next sheriff, was
wading Nehalem mud last week posting
election notices and notifying Jurors.
Five bears were seen at one time feeding
on the caress of a drowned cow nesr Par
ker's, Tbe psrker boys have "bagged" two
of them.
The Young Peoples Alliance is talking
up the feasibility of having a Union county
convention of the various young peoples'
religious societies of Columbia county.
The populist debaters of Vernonia are
fixing np some "hard nuta to crack'' to
present to T. J. Cleeton May 29th wbea be
expected to address the people of this
vicinity.
Messrs. Reed, Star, Black and others
bavs located what they think will be some
very valuable mining claim near the head
water ot Rock creek In tbe coast range,
about twelve miles from Vernonia. "
L. W. VanDyke ran np against a bear
with two cubs a few days ago. Van says
the bear got away. Others say It was tbe
man that got away. It seem to have been
an exciting race any way.
Tbe republican ticket is sure to show np
a good majority in this precinct next June,
Tbe pepulists cannot seem to offer any ex
cuse at all tor voting for any ot their can
didates, with possibly two ar three excep
tions. ....
The office ef Justice of the peace of Au
burn precinot seem to be going begging,
tbe republican and populist nominees both
refusing to accept, therefore Mr. Sesseman
ppolnted Mr. Detrick a nominee on the
populist ticket and it is understood he will
be the only candidate.
Vernonia Is at present without a preacher,
Rev. M. Burlingame was appointed to this
work by the Evangelical conference re
cently held at Albany having resigned
Rev. Lauuer, who has very acceptably offi
ciated as pastor of the Evangelical church
of Vernonia for the post two yean, bos
been appointed to the Little Folia, Wash.,
mission. The good wishes of the people of
Vernonia will go with him to his new work.
On would think from the many com
munications emanating from Vernonia ap
pearing in the various county nowspapcrs
that the woods were full of newspaper
writers, but on tracking the articles down,
tbey nearly all appear to originate from the
versatile pen of one man, who seems to b
chief, scholar, writer and philosopher, '
for tbe populists of Auburn precinct. In
fact he claims that most of the resolutions
passed by the republican county convention
originated in his fertile brain.

First, get a wife; second, be patient, Yon
may bav great trials and perplexities In
your business, but do net, therefore, carry
to your home a cloudy or contracted brow.
Your wife may bare trials, which though
of less magnitude, may be hard for her to
bear. A kind word, a tender look will do
wonders in chasing from her brow all clouds
of gloom. To this we would add, always
keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy in the house. It Is the beat, and Is
sura to be needed sooner or later. Your
wife will then know that yon really care
for her and wish to protect her health. For

PsMDtiTOM, Or., May 11. The supreme
court, In session hsre, banded down de
cision In the case of tbe State of Oregon ex
rel. Carter, vs. Nellie M. Stevens, Involving
the eligibility of Miss Stevens to hold the
office of county school superintendent of
Union county.
Tbe decision, which is a lengthy one,
quotes article VI, sec 8, of the constitution.
which provides, "No person shall be elec
ted or appointed to a county office who
shall not be an elector of the county," and
section 2 of article 11. of the same lnstru
iiient, which defines an elector as a male
citizen. ' Hence," the conit says, "it nec
essarily follows that none but male citizens
can be elected or appointed for county of
fices. Now, the office of superintendent of
schools, slthougb not so mentioned In the
constitution, was, at the time of the adop
tion of that Instrument and ever since has
leen and is now, unmistakably a county of
fice. It Is so named and designated in tbe
statutes creating tbe office, and providing
for the Jurisdiction and duties of the head
thereof. The Incumbent Is nominated and
elected at the same time and in tbe same
manner as other county officers; his Juris
diction is co-extensive with the boundaries
of his county; his salary is fixed and paid
by the county, and vacancies in the office
ar filled by appointment of the eennty
court. In short, tbe office Is in every sense
a county office. Therefor it follows that
whatever vlewa we may entertain as to the
propriety of the constitutional provisions
prohibiting women from belding county
offices, we have no alternative but to de
clare that, nnder tbe previsions of that in
strument, as It now exists, they are ineligi
ble to tbe office in question, end that the
act of 1893, as far as It conflicts with the
constitution, is void. The Judgment of the
court below is therefore affirmed."
Tbe decision was rendered earlier than
wa expected, owing ta the approaching
election. There are If women candidates
for this e tTlce In the state. In Morrow
county tbe three candidates are all women.
As candidates' certificate mast be filed be
fore May 18th, tbe time Is snort in which
to prepare them.
