The woman who was caught

Rev. Berry, cashier of the bank
at Pawnee, Olka., has been con
victed of wrecking the bank; but
he was game, and kept the, bank
running until there was only sixty
cents in the cash box. The reverend
is a very much crushed Berry.

In view of the fact that an ordinary

The Fargo, North Dakota, Daily
Argus says; "Bert Bliton is making
ail kinds of money with his Med
TORD (Oregon) Maii,." Modesty
prevents us admitting the foregoing
to be true but, in all candor, The
Mail's advertising columns do have
rather a healthy look.
A Creek Indian has just been
executed for the killing of a rival
in love, going himself, alone and
unguarded, to the place where he
knew he was to be shot. He had
given his word to be there, and that
settled it with him. What an object
lesson for a good many politicians!
The amount of the county war
rants issued during October, '97, by
Jackson County was $3385.23;
amount of warrants redeemed dur
ing the same length of time was
$5622.62; amount of those re
deemed in excess of those issued,
$2237.29. Twelve months of that
kind of work figures up to over 25,
000. ; Klamath County Indians have
just about taken our city this week.
They came in greater numbers this

.Those dusky sons of toil are good
customers and they are fast drifting
into the ways of the pale face. For
instance: One family purchased
four silk dresses at one of our stores,
and they are as well up-to-date

Thk labor leader who says that
low wages comes from the competi
tion of women, and that this is why
male workmen cannot afford to
marry, is more or less right; but
unfortunately women have to live
somehow, and they must have
money to do it. The difficulty
with labor leaders is that they look
at things as they ought to be and
not as they are; but capital as well
as labor is subjected to conditions
most of which are inevitable. . For,
of course, the women can't be as
sassinated; and, after all, affection
tules to some extent, and there
are proportionately more marriages
among the very poor than the very
rich.
Judge Foster of Kansas thinks
there is something wrong in the
gambling that enables a man to
make several million dollars a day
through an advance in the price of
wheat, especially as the man does
not raise, import, export, or so much
as see the grain that brings him
that groat fortune. Thev will never
cease to have queer ideas in Kansas
and at the same time this million'
aire, living by his wits, is totally
uou-productive, and when he drops
out of life the world has not lost a
dollar of any kind of value.

that it gives splendid satisfaction in all
cases. Sold by G. H. Hasklns, drug

Unusual sympathy has been
awakened by the- case of Charles
Rouss, the millionaire merchant of
New York, who has offered prac
tically all of hid fortune to any
body who will restore to him his
failing eyesight. He is now receiv
ing treatment from Dr. Norman, a

with much confidence that he can
effect the desired cure.
Luetgert is heavily handicapped
by his face. He would stand a bet
ter chance on bis next trial if he
could leave it off; for, judging by
the many pictures seen, it does not
look like the face of an innocent
man. There may be men on the
next jury like the one who, when
called to act, was told to take a
good look at the prisoner. He looked
long and hard, and then turned to
the judge, and said: "Jedge, I
think he's guilty."

informed that they might not re
ceive pay for their attendance.

tlio deceased buck to lifo and she
