Abrahams, of Roseburg, went to Baltimore to undergo an operation for the removal of an internal cancer. She has written her husband that doubts are enter tained as to her ability to withstand the operation, and that it would not be undertaken for less than $5000. Last Thursday was the day set for the ' Operation, but it was postponed. s The Portland signal service office reports the highest wind in that city last Thursday morning since the weather bureau was established is 1870, with the sioele exceDtion nf th treat storm and hurricane of January , 18S0. The velocity of the wind was 55 miles an hour, taken from the Ore- Konian tower, zirj feet above the , ground. The 1880 record of 64 miles was taken from an elevation of 108 feet ana wouia nave exceeded the one of uis year u it bad been taken at an equal neignt. Tbe county school superintendent, of Lane County, has adopted a system of urouiug mo puonc scnoois tnrough- out the county and will put tbe eystem , into operation as Boon as possible. All of the schools in the county will follow a schedule of work, the same grades in all of the schools being engaged on tbe same work at the same time. In this manner pupils will be carried through jt prescribed course and in the event of chaneing from one district to the same work can be followed without .interruption.

Will Dill and Prank Jamison, of Klamath Falls, who have been trapping at Diamond peak, stopped in Harris burg last week, on their way home. They said that they had been in the vicinity of Diamond peak since October 25, 1896, and were forced to come out, . as they had run out of provisions.

"Tom" Leatiiem "Old l'twhtamaha," as be liked to be called, after one of hi early friends, a Choctaw chief removes the lost uml greatest of the old Mississippi river steamboat captains and close the final page in that port of the history of the southwest, says Harper's Weekly. It was 0 years ago, during the "HubIi" times of river boats, that Tapt. Unit lie rs wwnt Into the steamboat biwi ue.ss the era of big and fast steamers and of gay life on the river, and the era, also, of river gamblers, and races, wrecks and explosions. From the very start he. was "the big man" on the river, the builder oi seven steamboats, all named Natchez, and each grander than its predecemor. A nrm believer that tbe MiKsisnippi river afforded the best means of travel and transportation for the entire "Valley," be stuck to his boat, like "Jim Bled soe," to the very end. It was a brave fight,, but very much like that the plucky Texas bull put up aguinet the first locomotive that invaded the state. Capt. Leathern ran his boats anoinet the railroads lotig after it was a forlorn hope and when it meant a steodv lew. season after aeaacn. He gove the rail road a great deal of trouble, fought every proposition for a bridw over a navigable stream and every other fran chise asked for by them, and sunk most of his money in the struggle. Ana so, when he was lulled by a 'scorcher" the other day there were 25 carriages of pall-bearers at the funeral. for every man who had ever been in the river trade" turned out to honor him. But we must do it; either we must rule fueling or feeling will rule us. It is n good servant, but a bad master. Our loving women's hearts are like the fire of the domestic hearth the light of the bom when duly controlled vrariuing the whuio house, but if the fire be not kept in itH subordinate place what aeon flagration ensuesl-i-N.

When a man gets a rifle for big-irame shooting he sometimes forgets to con sider one of tihemost Important pointp the kick. A gun which uses 70 grains of powder and 900 grain of lead caves weak man a boulder in and makes the flesh black and blue. If the man has more pluck than sense, he contin ues to use the big gun in spite of the dis comfort, and thereby sometimes ruins himself as a shot. When one of the big bore, biircharire. rifle cranks picks up a rifle and tires itat target, alive or dead, a painful ex pression twists bis face, and iust as be pulls the trigger the butt shoulder flinches from the recoil. That flinch Is ruinous to the aim, and men often get, so used to flinching thnt they dodge the kick 01 a a short cartridge as vigor ously as tbey do a 50-1 10-iOO one Men who flinch from their gun-do not know it usually, until some time they are standing nicely baJanccd on u freshly peeled hemlock log, or some Infant Mortality Uarlaa tha pall Waa Hsuutrkablr Law. The appeal to the public conscience told at last. With that attack in the churches, which has not been without blame, the new era began. That year (187V) a public competition evolved the present type of tenement, far from per fect, bnt an Immense improvement on the wicked old barracks. The Banitarv reformers got the upper hand, and their worn 10 ui. u u oeatn rate came down slowly. It is to-day, at the end of 30 years, quite 23 per cent, lower than wnen the health department was or ganised, and New York has been re deemed from a reproach for which there waa no excuse, for no city in the world baa such natural opportunities lor good aanitaticck The. immense stride it baa taken was Kieasured by the mortality during the unprecedented hot spell of last sum mer. It waa never so great, as, indeed, there never was an emergency like It since records were kept. During the ten days it lasted the heat claimed many more victims than the last cholera epi demic during Its whole season. Yet, be yond those killed by the direct effects of the run, tbe mortality was singularly low; tbe infant mortality ever the finger that points unerringly to the sore spots in a community, if any there be was so noticeably low as to cause a feeling almost of exultation among the sanitary officials. And it was shown, by comparison with earlier hot spells, that the population yielded more slow ly to the heat. Where it had taken two or three days to. reach the climax of sunstroke, it now took five. Tho peo ple, better housed, better fed. and' breathing clean air In the clean streets, had acquired a power of tcsistanoc to which the past hsd no parallel. The sanitarians had proved their case.

Oar TvoaMan Sac 11 Candtiloai Uu la Celaatlal Cava. a Lieut. A. C. Totteo, whose fondness for astrological calculations -and Infer ences is wall known, declare that the trouble with current affairs is not due to the United Stutea senate, the bicycle, the new woman, or the silver question, but may be accurately traced to the contortions of the heavenly bodies. He aaye, according to Harper's Weekly. that when too many of the planetH get cn tbe same side of the sun ut the same time it makes troubles for the earth. and that now, for the first time in the history of mun, all the planets, except earth, are approaching coincident peri helia, and within four or five years will be in line tugging away at the sun, while earth, alone on the other side of it, will have an exceedingly hard time, and will be the scene of all aorta of disasters and devilment. Karth will pull through, he thinks, after sore trials;' after which he looks for "the literal rule of the returned Messiah." and the winding up of the confusions now formulating, at Jerusalem, which city, he believes, will cease to be trod den by Gentiles, and will become th center from which right rule and Jus- 1 re w apreaa over tne earth. Lieut. Totten Is familiar with both the Bible and the higher mathematics, and has a remarkable gift for stirring them up together intoconeoctlona that give people bud rirrami. He Is a very disconcerting person anil a chronic bear, and his deliverances nre well adapted to make llmld believers realize on their Investments and take to the woods. Hansen of Hull mailing.
