If Denmark feels hard toward Ger many on account of Chancellor CaprivTs remarks abont her. the plain thing to do' v.-ill be for Denmark to cuivate an in timate friendship with -Russia and France. Bismarck was famona for riding roughshod over people and nations when they could not helf themselves, but he was scrupulously" careful to keep on the friendliest terms with Russia and with nations that could Cy ra Russia fox aid and comfort against Germany. Bis marck would have known better than to offend Denmark, because the father-in-law of Russia is not to be offended with fanrranitr.. , " Never but once before since the white man settled the country was the Missis sippi frozen from shore to shore and an ice gorge formed at Memphis. The suf fering this winter in the smaller towns along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers is unprecedented. Many of them have no railroad connections and are dependent altogether on the river for supplies of fuel, clothing and groceries. . The suffer ing is something appalling, ajed the worst of it has been that there was no way of reaching the sufferers quickly and fir ing them aid. The winter of 1893-3 will be remembered for half a century on ac count of its severity. Kentucky, Ten nessee, Georgia and North Carolina are accounted warm stat'j in the popular judgment, yet for the first time in the memory of many grown .persons they have suffered in common wi;h the states farther north from zero temperature and ice gorges. 4 Not many men in the late war rose from volunteer private to major general, as Rutherford B. Hayes did. In politics, in the early part of his career, be was one of the most victorious of men. Three times in the contest for governor of Ohio he defeated the ablest Democrats in the party first, Allen G. Thurman in IS67, next George H. Pendleton is 1869 and again William Allen in 1ST3. But he was never the same man after his presi dential term. The incessant and bitter attacks on hict. which continued from 1873 till his death, made si painful an impression on him that he retired from politics absolutely at the close of his term in 18SI and never afterward made a po litical speech. 7.io death of his brilliant and accomplished wife some yean ago was another blow from which he never recovered. Mrs. Hayes was his compan ion much of the time during his army campaigns. His death from neuralgia cf the heart is such as might have come to a man who had suffered much from trouble of the mind. Satolll. Apostolic Delegate. The diplomatic corps at Washington is inclined to welcome Mgr. Satolll as an adorned brother, although be has no offi cial relations with the United States gov ernment. His appointment as permanent apostolic delegate to the United States is the most important event in the his tory of the Roman Catholic church in this country in years. Mgr. Satolli will represent the pope in all matters of dis cipline and ecclesiastical law in America, In this Republican nation the American born and bred priests frequently had differences of opinion -with the bishops, who were their superiors. These ques tions had to be sent to Rome for final adjustment by the pope. There were so many that at length his holiness resolved to establish an ecclesi astical court of highest appeal here and have all differences settled on the ground. Being resident in the United States, the apostolic delegate could catch the spirit of American institutions and decide, as it would otherwise be impossible to do, what was the right thing. 80 that the American Catholic church will no longer be ruled from Rome. Mgr. Satolli will probably establish his headquarters at Washington. It has been objected that he is a for eigner, and therefore cannot fully un derstand American questions. Bat he has shown himself thus far to bo a man of great tact, as well as of quick and brilliant acumen. He is a man of great learning and experience. What Mgr. Satolli says goes, and will go. ' Is Mormon Polygamy Dead? ' It is hard to telL President Harrison's amnesty proclamation, granting uncon-. ditional pardon and freedom from fur ther legal prosecution to all Mormons who have lived monogamously since Nov. 1, 1890, and will continue to do so, implies that in the opinion of persons in high government quarters the many wived practice has been abandoned. In October, 1800, the sixty-first semiannual conference of the Latter Day Saints is sued a manifesto to all Mormons pro hibiting any member hereafter to enter into the plural marriage relation. They did this on the recommendation of Wil fred Woodruff, president of the church. In September of 1890 Woodruff declared that Mormon preachers were no longer teaching that disobedience to the mar riage laws of the United States was obedience . to God. Woodruff recom mended the abandonment of polygamy on the ground of its conflicting with the laws of the United States, and not from any change of heart. Leading Mormons have saiu in the most sincere and sol emn manner that polygamy has been abandoned forever. Nevertheless, if this be true, what mean the swarms of foreign steerage passenger women who still, up to the time of the cholera quarantining, con tinued to enter our ports from Europe, always under the wing of cunning faced, sharp eyed old Mormon elders, who watched them like a hawk lest any of that was detained so long at quarantine I Gv. tw0 OD,e Jed ?d one inNewYorlCbaylaStNovember,brought'al,vand1 dl6v- eeventy-six Mormon converts -elevea j etred on the Piiot. nd at Cornelius man and sixtv-five women. In addition tuey wcro taken ol- to this the shrewd old Mormon rascal I who had the party in tow mingled freely with the steerage passengers in general and tried to persuade other women to join the Utah contingent and go. off with them. Polygamy may be aban doned, as the Mormons say, but all the saroo these little facts have a gneer topk.1 Public Executions. If hangings must be, then the mob should be shut out absolutely from see ing them. Nothing more revolting or demoralizing to humanity has been wit nessed recently than the behavior of the spectators at a late hanging. Men gath ered in numbers the night before the hanging as if to a country circus. Whis ky was passed freely among them, and they became drunk and made night hid eous with their whooping and yelling. They cut away fences and climbed trees in order to get sight of the show in the jaflyaxd. ,They even smuggled whialry to the guard who formed the watch, and some of them became dead drunk too. When the morning came and the pris oners-were led to execution the mob jeeredvhnd howled like demons. Some of thtfondemned suffered horribly be fore life became extinct. The blood-! thirsty mob laughed in fiendish glee and ! cursed and sang and danced like demons from sheoL Nothing more disgraceful was ever witnessed in America. The men and boys who gazed on that scene will go through life henceforth with less regard for human life and with more calloused feelings toward human suffer ing in any shape. It was with difficulty they were kept from anticipating the le- ,.v; k hi. ! their own hands. They will henceforth i be inore dangerous members of the oonvitne Klamath rails Express munity for being unchecked in their con duct that night and for being allowed to witness that hanging. Abont Divorce Laws. If you think you will ever want a di vorce from any cause whatever, do not go to, South Carolina to live. That ia the one state of the Union in which there is absolutely no divorce allowed. The only way in which married people there : can get apart is to run away from each other and hide. In all the other states divorce is allowed for Scriptural cause. a nut mn n ft,! ivnfM law, Iwiwttia I moreUberaL In forty-ono of the forty- four states divorce ia permitted for ex- treme cruelty, and in thirty-three states for intemperance. In all but nine of the states a term in the penitentiary will re lease the prisoner's husband or wife from the rnatrimooial chain, while in twenty two states and, "territories gross neglect will secure a divorce if it is proved on the husband or wife. The term 'neg lect, " too, is as elastic as people's con science and can be stretched to cover anything from abandonment outright to a failure to take a wife to an evening party. Nebraska and the Dakotas are perhaps more liberal in their divorce laws than any other states in the time required for residence before the suit is comment ,cedJlu"S nths p On A residence in Nebraska for six months wOl entitle an applicant for divorce to commence action, while in both the Da kotas the applicant need only reside within the state ninety days. For some reason persons who wished to be untied have gravitated to Sioux Falls, S. D., in large numbers, forming what is called the divorce colony, thereby scandalising citizens of that promising young state who do not believe in divorce. In 1893 ninety divorces were granted in Sioux Falls. The applicants were mostly women. The churches and the ladies of the W. C. T. U. in South Da kota endeavored to have the divorce in dustry stopped, at least to a great extent. Powerful pressure was brought to bear on the legislature to lengthen the term of residence to at least a year. The Sioux Falls lawyers, however, as well as various other citizens, asked this question, Why should the legislature, on merely sentimental grounds, drive out of South Dakota and into North Dakota and Nebraska a business which brings' to Sioux Falls over $100,000 a year? 80 the legislature defeated the bill to lengthen the term of residence to a year. If weight of brain was everything, then Benjamin Butler would have been a greater man than Daniel Webster. Webster's brain was one of the heaviest on record. ., That of Baron Cuvier, the naturalist, exceeded it in weight some what Butler's thinking apparatus, how ever, weighed four, ounces more than that of Webster.

They were given a chance to come back on condition that they submit to merited punishment and promise to indulge no longer in the demoral izing cigarette. Fourteen accepted this offer, and at last accounts the remainder were negotiating for a compromise. It is reported that the C. B. fe Q. railroad company are surveying from Boise City this way and will come through the pass the O. P. did intend to go through, as they think that the O.

The relentless enemies of Dr. Towne, the Fon du Lac, Wis., phy sician who owns a ranch at Xavlox, i this county, have, by a last bold stroke accomplished to their utmost their villiinous designs upon the Wisconsin man's property, and fur- ther vengeance is now balked for ,ack of material to work upon, says Falls Express. The crowning act of their hellishness was the firing on Wednesday night of last week of the doctor's dwelling, resulting in the complete destruc tion of the building.

C. C. C. Good Thing If .Generally Adopted. From Salem Statesman. The bill of Representative Browa, allowing persons a rebate of road tax who use certain wagons, hus the sem blance of fairness and may help, if adopted, to solve the troublesome road Question. Although the bill has not been given to the public, in full, the Inference is that persous using wagons with broad tires will be the oue favored by the rebate. By using such wagons they will help to level down and keep the public highways smooth and are, therefore, entitled to some remunera tion for their services. There is no reason why such a public service should not be recognized as of money value as well as any other kind of service hav ing a like public benefit.

Mother earth today is enshrouded with her emblem of purity, but as far as our own interest are con cerned we will take the rain and mud. We feel as though we have had our share of snow. Thos. Bekenbuck is quite peorly these times. The old gentleman is all alone and your correspondent would regret much should we be called upon to chronicle his depar ture for the unknown land. We learn that the Rev, Crook baa commenced a protracted meeting at Gold HilL We are in hopes the folk on the creek will attend the good eentleman's meetings in return for the kindness we received at his hand, and may God bless his effort. Mr. Mickey, one of Galls creek fruit growers and trimers, is now at work on the orchard of Mr. Marks bury, a merchant of Gold HilL Mr. Mickey has had considerable prac-. tice as a fruit tree grower and we think will find plenty in this lira to do. S. C. Lawrence andJeaaie Rossel have been prospecting a rich lead -during the last few days. Beyond a question of doubt Galls creek' will have a boom. Your correspondent has been talking with some of the leading miners of the valley and they are making preparations to be on the creek as soon as spring opens up. Lee Horn, Galls creek's lucky prospector, has, we believe struck it big and that too, quite near his old home, where for years he has been crossing and recrossing. This amount ot wealth, while trying to keep the wolf from his door by hon est toil as a day laborer, is surely a windfall. His prospects are bright and we congratulate him on his success. J. J. When Hayes Was Here, Fran the Valley Kacord. v The death of Ex-President Haves V" close of his term he passed Ifirough this section traveling from iteouing to Koseburgra stage coach es with his partv. . amonz whom were -his wife and Gen. Wni. Tecumseh Sherman. They were given a grand ovation in Ashland as well as at Yerka and other places, being the first live president to ever " come along this way while holding office. They stopped at the U. S. hotel at Jacksonville over night and Madame Holt gave them rooms that had just been completed. The next morning she gave Hayes a great talk about the rooms and ac commodations which the affable Hayes began praising to the skies to please rnadame. The grandnesa of the idea of entertaining such dis tinguished guests inflated the thrift v old lady's idea of finances, and when she presented the president with a bill for 1150 Rutherford went outside to get a breath of fresh air and hold an executive session with himself. He detailed Gen. Sherman to negotiate with, the rnadame and Old Tecumseh with made an ineffectual effort, explain ing that he wanted to pay their bill and go on not to pay for the hotel. The old lady thought "dem military fellers" were not as grand as they have been cracked up to be. How Xt Became Popular. When people find an article much superior to anything of the kind they have ever before used, ther are almost sura to tell their friends about it, and especially if thev know of some friends needing suohau article. Dealers also soon learn the true value ot their goods, and when they have an article of an unusual merit they will almost invari ably mention the fact to their custom ers. This accounts in a great measure for the large sale on . Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Her ia an instance: W. L. Nertdham, a prominent citizen aud business man of Orreburg, Mo., has been selling Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for several years and recom mend it to his customers, because ia his experience it has provea to be the best for oolds, croup and whooping cough. He says It Is the moat popular medicine that he handles, and give tho best satisfaction. 50 cent bottles for sale by G. H, Uasklns. Druggist. 5
