THE ROLL CALL.
After some preliminaries the fateful
roll call, upon which hung, as by a
thread, the late ol J. -S. Dolph, began.
Rumors ot bolting were current, and
all held their breath as the names were
called. Senator Alter was the first
man called upon, and saying that "As
he was the third oldest tree-coinage
silver man in tbe state be would put
himsell on record for tbe choice ol
Lane county Hon. Binge r Hermann, a
man who had never spent a dollar to
promote bis political interests in an
improper manner." Mr. Alley voted
for Dolph ou tbe first baliot Tuesday.
and his vote for Hermann was received
with great enthusiasm.
Brownell's vote for Dolph was hissed.
Jeffrey made an eloquent plea for
Judge Hare, "a pioneer, rich in cour
age, and a millionaire in braius." He
got several rounds of applause.
Lister's speech was to the effect
that bis first choice was Fuiton, his
second. Dolph. but it was asserted and
not denied that unfair means had been
used. Force and corruption had been
employed, and he would now vole for
Moore.
Senator McClung, of Lane, was tbe
next man to boll Tuesday's ballot, and
voted for Hermann.
Smith, of Josephine defended tbe
caucus and voted for Dolph.
Cole, of Multnomah, bolted the cau
cus and voted against Dolph.
The roll was called again and checked
correctly.

WHERE WAS EDEN LOCATED? 4
Scholars of Distinction Po Kot Agras aaa
tha Mystery Remains TJnsolvsd. 1
The location of the earthly paradise jl
or Garden of Eden, is still a matter of
dispute among orientalists and Scrip-' .
tnral scholars of highest reputation,'
says the St. Louis Republic Some .
have endeavored to locate it by tha
fruits and mineral production named
in the Biblical descriptions as they ap-!
pear in the second chapter of Genesis;1
others by tbe rivers mentioned in verses
eleven to fourteen of the above men
tioned chapter. The weight of invesr
tigation and tradition incline to as?
agreement that the Tigris and tha
Euphrates of modern geography are
the third and fourth rivers mentioned
in the Biblical description of the gar j
den. Those who agree so far differ!
widely aa to what rivers should now be
regarded as the ancient Pison and
Gihon. The Buddhistic scholars, air
though they - reject our Bible in the'
greater part, incline to the opinion'
that the Pison is the sacred Ganges and .
that the Gihon is none other than the
Kile. As to the last it is altogther
probable that they are correct on that
point because the Biblical account
plainly says that Gihon "compassethj
the whole land of Ethiopia." borne in-'
vestigationsaffirm that Eden was a spot
of comparatively small area located on!
the table lands of what is now Armenia
from which rise the Tigris and the'
Euphrates. A few scholars of distinct
tion argue that the Adamic paradise'
was located in Africa, in the vicinity;
of the Mountains of the Moon. Still'
another school of orientalists locate!
the celebrated garden in the vicinity of,
the ancient city of Babylon. None
of these theorists have been able
to get the four rivers mentionedj
in the Biblical account properly lo
cated; neither have they found a place?
where one great river "separates into,
four heads." This being the case it ia
hardly necessary to add that the ex-j
act location of Eden is a mystery tha
will probably never be solved.

like, she was making a mess of it. She
fooled around with her ticket and
asked questions until the clerk who
was attending to her case was in the
last stages - of patience. "Madam," he
said, when he could stand it no longer,
"I beg your pardon, but do yon shoot
the way yon vote? She had learned
this famous expression among her first
lessons in politics and prided herself on
her knowledge. "Indeed. I do, sir,
she replied, drawing herself up proud
ly. "Then, madam." inquired the clerk
with great interest, "will yon be kind
enough not to begin shooting until I
can get out of the state?"
