CHANCE TO SEE A FIGHT There are -two English and two German warships now on the Pa cific coast. We have cabled the two war ministers in Europe to allow the vessels to come to New port and fight it out. The South ern Pacific will annul all their train service in Oregon so that they can take all the people to Newport on the day of the ffght. Now nothing remains but to wait for the arrival of the vessels. P. S It was impossible to get them to come to Independence as the river is too low and neither coun try would allow their ships to fight where the men might wade ashore and take to the woods in case they were getting licked. The Pill Box has received a communication wanting to know what an emergency clause is. Well, an emergency clause is a thingemjig originally intended to be used only in case of war, fam ine, epidemic, the devil, or high water, but in this day any city council is liable to use it to sprin kle a lawn, shoot a dog, or re move a bird's nest. , DREAMING I was on my pallet dreaming, with the moonlight o'er me streaming, when before me, eye balls gleaming, loomed a dreadful monster fly; and as o'er my cot he towered, like a dragon he glowered, while with awful fear I cowered and prepared myself to die. Then as all my veins ran water and I felt my reason tot ter, he addressed me: "Mr. Swatter, is it hot enough for you?" Speaking of hot weather re minds us that once upon a time when it was about as hot as it is now a young man and a young lady kind of melted into one and it took a divorce court and two lawyers to get them separated. How would you like to be in Europe? Neither would we. Sunny Slope Frank Clarke of Monmouth a us in our neighborhood Monday. George Rhodes of near Inde pendence visited friends here Sunday.
