Felber waa brought to thit city latt Saturday night, and Sunday the oonttable took team and wagon to bring the plun der, arriving with it Monday eveuing. It consisted of proviaion, guna, cloth ing, canned goodt, and other articlet of more or lete value and of nearly every detcription. Tueeday Felber had a bearing in Justice Olark't court and wat bound over io appear before the grand Jury with bail fixed at 1500, in default of which he wat committed to jail. The comtable and hit assist ante did a good job in making the arreit, for they went into that dugout located In one of the deep canyone in the wood, Jioleted from civilisation, where the occupaut wat armed with euffloienl weapont to have atood oft a Urge posse, and made the arrest with out a tool being nrea or unw blood being spilled.

No Mss than a half doten from thia end of Ihe county wanted to tucceed the man whose term Uoet not expire for 18 months yet and who bad net in any sense relinquished hie right to the pImoo.

Tbe above communication appeared in the Oregonian of last Saturday, and since the author bad not the manliness to attach bis signature, It really should not be no- tieed. But since "Old-Line Republican" makes a cowardly attack behind the screen of a non de planie, In which he offere some comparisons of tbe vole ot two years ago and that of last June, for congressman, let us make an honest comparison that will compare, at least in the second congres sional district, and tee, it possible, where the fault lies for tbe republican congress man no', getting more votes. 1896-Ellis and Northup vote . 21,170 1894-Kllii' vote nndsr Mr. Steel's management 18,876 Gain over 1894 ... ....... 2,304 The correspondent, with the customary nr" of nna ho seeks to dlssuise his Identity r after citing hie own incomplete flgures, asks: "Who is responsible for thlsf" By looking over tbe list ot names attached to Nortbup't petition last spring; it Is easily seen who ie responsible. It waa the Steels, the Fallings, the Pittocks, the Scotts and the Lydell Bakers, etc., that reduced Mr. Ellis' vote last June by the candidacy of Northup, and no doubt this same "Old-Line Republican's ' name appeared on tne same lint which was eonoooted to defeat the reg ular nominee of the republican convention. The vote of Northup and Ellis added to gether would have been Mr. Ellis' vote bed It not been for Mr. Northup's candidacy in tbe Interest ot a populist osndldate for con gressman. w rin not undertake to say tbat tbe re- oent viotory waa altogether due to Mr. Hinnh'e management ot the oamnalcn. for there were niany Influences brought to bear to bring anoui vos repuouoan Ticiurj in ti.te uta.

Two of the Colvin boys from Marshland started In to attend the high school this week, and are proving themselves capable of entering the classes without disturbance. This school affords a fine opportunity for young ladles and tents who desire to spend Ibis nnpleasaut weather in study. Fred Hiatt and his sister, Madge, had to suspend school attendance this week and remain at home to look In tbe glass and tee when the measles spots were dying out. Fred Is Janitor this term and does good work, so that bis services are very greatly missed at tbe school bouse. The scholara ot tbe high school are branohlng out in literary channels and sur prised our community last week by issuing and distributing a paper called "The High School Whlster." It U a four-page sheet of two columns to a page, and the first issue contains a number of quite readable articles.

Inoulrlng about some sounds that pro ceeded from Krata' hall la.t Baturday eve ning we learned tbat a double quartette of male voices were practicing musio.

Many good wishes attend tbe pair. Road Supervisor Daniel Rice has been trying to get some road work done between showers, and invitee the boys out occasion' ally to assist. Persons having occasion to Irsvel over tbe rosds this winter cannot help being impressed with the superiority of grsvel rosd beds over anything that bas been ued about here. Many places slmoat impassable during former rainy seasons are rendered solid now by the work done the past year or two. ltlcs and Laws have both been doing good work in that line, and by working away at it each season we will have good roada "In the sweet bye and bye." Prof. J. W. Wlrta left us last Friday morning, taking with him bis bssds and temperaments, etc. His lectures here were not a brilliant success financially. He does not seem to have bia subject welt in band and whatever ho may know of phrenology and he Is doubtless pretty well upon the subject be appears at a disadvantage be fore an audience In not giving a moie con nected talk, and in tbe absence of an en thusiasm that carries conviction. Itmakes a great difference with an audience whether a speaker talks as tbonch his subject was ihe all important thing on earth far bis audience to believe, or whether he talks aa though they might believe It if they wished and waa not a matter of much importance to bin. The professor labors under a little embarrassment that time and practice will overcome. SCAPPOOSE. Frank Little hae moved to Deer Island. George Antrim hae gone to Wash ington.

NO LONGER REPUBLICANS Silver Senators Decline to Attend the Caucus. Dubois, of Idaho, Tendered Hie Row lg-natlon a Secretary, Which Waa Promptly Accepted. WsiHinoTot, Deo. 8. Tbe most noticea ble fetture of tbe republican senatorial caucus today as seen from the outside was the absence of tbe wen who bolted the nomination of McKinley because of tje gold-standard platform. These absent on this account were: Dubois, Pettlgrew, Mantle, Cannon, Bquire add Teller. All except Teller were in the city and were in vited to attend tbe caucus. Tbat their absence was intentional was clearly abown by the following letter read soon after ths caucus waa called to order by Sens ter Sherman: "Washington, D. C, Dec. 8. -To Hon. John Bhernian, chairman of the ennens of republican senators Sir t I hereby re spectfully present my resignation as secre tary of tbe caucua of republican senators. I also resign my position at member and secretary of tbe republican advisory or 'steering' committee of the senate. Very truly yours. Fan T. Dubois." Dubois' resignation waa received wilhont comment. Oa motion of Lodge, Wilson of Washington waa chosen secretary. Bhoup was placed on tbe steering committee in tbe place vacated by bia colleague. This committee wss also enlarged by tbe addi tion of Hansbrough, of North Dakota. Tbe Dingly tariff bill waa referred to tbe steering committee, with instructions to investigate as to tbe likelihood of getting tbe bill through and deviae means to tbat end if possible. It was the prevailing opin ion tbat the best policy demanded the pass age of tbe bill, but tha opinion seemed quite general tbat this waa not within pos sibility. ' Gear brought up the Pacific railroad bill, It was referred to the steering committee. After Lodge explained the status of the im migration bill, the caucus decided to stand by tbat party measure and press its early consideration. Tbe caucus also declared for an international agreement on silver by agreeing to the following resolution Intro duced by Wolcott: 'Resolved, That a special committee of five members of this census be appointed to recommend some plan whereby legisla tion may be had in thia session of congress looking to an international conference with the leading commercial nations ol the world on the promotion of bimetalism. The action of the republican caucus In referring tbe Dingly tariff bill to its steer ing committee, and tbe circumstances un der which this action was taken, are ac cepted in tbe senate as practically tbe end of the agitation in the interest of tbe meas- are. Tbe debate In the caucus developed that there was wide differences of opinion as to the abvisibillty of attempting to pass the bill, even among the republicans, and tbe opinion was expressed by tome who were on tbe inside that fully one-third of the republican senators, not including the bolting senators, were antsgonlstio to the bill.
