Clay Changed into Gold and Silver.
A St. Louis scientist. Benjamin Bra-
zelle, a man well known in the scientific
sphere, makes the assertion that he has
discovered the key to electrical trans
mutation of clay into gold, silver and
iron, and claims to have perfected his

Financial reform under the incoming
presidential administration must wait
upon a revision of the tariff. All Mc
Kinley expects of the extra session of con
gress in the way of legislation is that it
shall speedily pass a new tariff bill. He
wants it to pave the way for currency
legislation at a later date, however, by
making provision for a joint commission
of senators and representatives to report
at the regular session of congress.
A man recently in Canton said he
talked at length with McKinley about
the extra session, and he learned that
the president-elect had determined to
confine his message at the opening of
that session practically to the tariff and
currency. He will urge an immediate
passage of a tariff bill for the two-fold
purpose of protecting American interests
and tilling the treasury.
McKinley will make no specific recom
mendations as to the policy to be pur
sued in monetary reformation, but will,
in a general way, advise congress to
create a joint commission to prepare a
comprehensive scheme to be reported at
the reguiar session next December.

at present. One of the reasons fordoing
this is the recent action of the board of
regents of the state university in cutting
off two years of the four years’ prepara
tory course in that Institution. Stu
dents completing the course in the
public schools now can enter the prepar
atory course of the university, as it has
been, but since the change it will re
quire another year’s study to gain ad-
mittance. This deficiency will be met
by the extra year in the public school.
About fifty pupils will complete the old
course this year.

It is a notable fact that the farmer is a
hard man to please and satisfy; no soon
er is he thoroughly complaining of too
much rain than the necessity for irriga
tion stares him in the face and starts
him investigating the latest practical and
profitable methods. Experience now
confirms the claim that a Hercules Gas
oline Gas Engine solves the problem of
economical reliable power; and for once
■ the farmer is suited, for a Palmer & Rev
Pumping Plant so operaietl gives him a
1 chance of clearing his overflown lands,
and later on, flooding his paiched fields,
besides using his engine for cutting feed,
sawing wood and running churns, etc.

Legislatures of the Union.
Says an exchange:— Some one who
has taken the Double to ascertain the
political complexion of all the legisla
tures in the 45 states finds that there is
a grand total of 3493 republicans, 2209
democrats, 420 populists and 214 fusion-
ists, a clear republican majority of 550.
In the legislatures of 12 Southern states
there are 1389 democrats, 367 republi
cans and 204 populists, which exhibit
will l>e an unpleasant surprise to the
populists, who have supposed that they
are making much progress in the South.
A Present to McKinley.
A unique present was sent on its‘way
Sunday to William McKinley, president
elect oi the United States, by David
Monnastes, the well-known Oregon pio
neer.
It is a tomahawk, or pipe of
peace, such as the chiefs of the Umatil-
ias and Nez Perces used to carry in early
days. This particular tomahawk was
fashioned by Mr. Monnastes, with his
own hands, especially for Major Mc
Kinley .—Oregon ian.
