That Challenge.
Pardon you, sir, for your two
months' delay in acceptance of my
challenge! Why, of course, and all
other sins save one that of false
hood. We sympathize with you in
all misfortunes. It is, indeed, a
pity that your letter went the rounds
of all "dead-beats," from town to
city, and no one to claim the poor
little cherub! We wonder that
some keen-eyed Jesuit at the dead
leuer omce did not confiscate your
epistle for the honor of the waste-
basket! lour acceptance of my
challenge does not bear the stamp
of integrity. You overlook de
liberately one of my conditions.
and in a general deceptive way the
spirit and natural intent of "them
all. The fifth condition of my
challenge was: "That the party
against whom a final decision shall
be rendere'd bv a majority of the
committee on this controversy shall
forthwith forfeit one hundred dol
lars in gold coin for the sole benefit
rand use of the public school at
Medford." How innocent and puri
tanical you are to over-rule that
condition! You may try to "bluff"
your readers, but as P. T. Barnuin
said that some people were easily
1 1 i n., ..
nuniDuggea ail me time, 11 is no
wonder that you can work your
game with a certain class of devoted
disciples. However, the enlight
ened class of Americans are not to
be deceived by your tricks. Allow
me to quote the Roseburg Review
on A. P. A.s, and then vou should
blush for shame that you are, as a
minister of the gospel, the so-called
champion of the Medford A. P. A.
council. "The A. P. A. movement
has split a once peaceable commun
ity into warring factions and there
is not a single excuse for its exis-
tance here. It has divided political
parties, estranged friends,' ar raved
neighbor against neighbor, and
carried dissention into fraternal
lodges and church societies. It
has been productive of not a single
public or private good and breathes
only the spirit of intolerance and
bigotry." Now, Brother Fisher, I
can not alllow you to fish out of
this money question, because your
fame for slandering defenceless
Catholic women and sisters is
already gained, but your reputation
for truth and honesty . of, principle
in this controversy is forever lost.
Money is the thing to corner all
religious or political mounte-banks.
Therefore, be it understood, by all
people ot southern Oregon,that you.
Kev. hili fcieber, having refused to
accept my fifth condition, I,' as an
American citizen with all honor
and dignity, deem it my imperative
duty never to appear with you or
your clan upon any public plat
form either in Jacksonville or else
where. .

WASHINGTON NOTES.

President Cleveland has appointed
John J. Br ice of California to be fish
commissioner, vice Marshall McDonald
deceased.
In speaking on the Cuban resolutions
in the senate the other day Senator
Sherman paid high tribute to the cour-afc-e
of President Cleveland, which he
said could not be doubted.
Senator Morgan has drafted a bill for
the settlement of the Pacific railroads'
debts. The measure prepares the way
for the government to foreclose the
second mortgage bonds and operate the
Union and Central Pacific lines. It
also provides for the refunding of the
first mortgage bonds.
The senate joint resolution, directing
the secretary of agriculture to purcha
and distribute seeds, etc, as in preced
ing years, has become a law without
the president's signature. Secretary
Morton refused to carry out the old law
and vigorously opposed the passtgeof
the present mandatory act.
The senate has passed a curious bill
which provides that no license for any
marriage shall hereafter be issned to
any citisea of a foreign country in the
United States unless inch citizen shall
certify that the conditions as to the
validity of the marriage according to
the laws of such country have been
complied with.
A Washington special says a report ia
current that President Cleveland has
sent an officer of the arsiy to Cuba as a
special secret agent o( Ibis government
to supplement the reports of the con
sular officers by professional reports on
the military operations in the island
and the condition of the insurgents as
viewed from a military standpoint. It
is said that reports from this officer have
already arrived; that more are to follow
and that the president will make nse of
the information they contribute in de
ciding upon the coarse to be followed i
by the adminstration, or in framing any
ny uessag he may send to congres.
The saprame court has rendered a de
cision in the case of the people of Cali
fornia against the Ceutral Pacific and
Southern Pacific companies, involving
the right of the state to tax the fran
chises of those roads. The railroaJ
companies resisted this taxation on the
ground that their franchises were de
rived from the national government as
well as from the state authorities, and
were inseparable. Ihi court decided
against this view, holding that the rail
road cumpanies owe their existence as
corporal ions to the state, and are sub
ject to state laws in respect to taxation.
TIih chief justice said that the state
ii-Hiicliises have never been merged in
tl e federal franchises and that they
were as legitimately snbject to taxation
as the roadbeds of the companies. Jus
tice Field wrote a dissenting opinion .in
widen he said that the position taken
by the ' majority opinion was absurd
and uuable.
ELECTRIC INCUBATOR.
A German lias Invented One Which I
Said to Ite SnccrsnfoL
- The idea of nn electric incubator hap
long been looked upon by poultry farm
ers as too t hoorcticui to be of any real
service, ltcrr Otto Schulze, who has
been steadily striving to perfect such a
system in Germany, has, it is said, at
length succeeded in constructing an
apparatus operated electrically, which
overcomes the ordinary difficulties of
the artificial hatching of chickens. The
apparatus is easily manipulated, and
needs a small, but constant, supply of
current. Automatic attachments reg
ulate both temperature and moisture,
the adjustment working with such deli
cacy thatatemperatureiskept within
one-tenth of a degree of the normal heat
of incubation. From 90 to 100 eggs are
hatched at one time. Herr Schulze is
said to have remedied certain points in
the electric "mother," which were
found to interfere with itseffectiveness.
This contrivance, which is a box, in
which freshly-hatched chicks can find
heat and protection, while they are free
to run about on the ground when they
choose, has been devised as an accom
paniment to the incubator.
