It will be a hard pull on his mother's pur.M.- Thc tallest man in the House at Salem is Retireftcntiitive Hones of Yamhill, who measures 6 feet, s'A inches, and he is not all bones, either. About two hundred thousand people are asking themselves what they are paying the police of Tort laud for. N'one of them have ptovuii speedy enough to keep mcc with the thugs who make contiiiu otis evening calls. A press dispatch says that in nil probability p.. I,. Hilton, of (Jkla Iiotua City, will be one of the first cougremnieii elected by the new Mine 01 ukiaiioma. I'liiton is a Democrat, but is the most popular iiuil successful campaigner in Okla hoiiia, and can win the election "hands down if he wants it.'

I he state senate voted tins year to give every member of that body a stenographer in addition to the usual number of clerks. Senntor Malarkey is the author of this infamous resolution. Next year each will likely be provided with a bootblack and it barber. The demand lor appropriations exceeds anything ever before wit nessed at the state capitol, and unless the legislature tints its foot down hard upon them, the taxes of the slate will be something enormous. Ihe demand for 170, 000 for the Jamestown exposition will likely be placed under the ax. While everybody, little and big, is complaining about the tax levy. docs any one know the rate and amount paid by the timber barons who have gobbled up nine-tenths of the timber of the state? Of course this ntiestion will not be answered by any of the subsidized iters of the ring. The bill before the legislature pioposhig to raise the pi ice of a notary public's commission to S10 and allow 110 one but an attorney at law to act, is one of the innocent ineasiiies (he legal lights are trying to feather their nests with. At this distance fioin Ihe capital the looks pictiyuiiish and advances the idea that the lawyeis have ie solved that 110 fish, huge or small, shall vmiik their net.

II We rt'Ms' Willi 1II.ACK: The .jail regular meeting of the city council met at the usual hour Tuesday night with all present except Alderman Norton, whose absence was occasioned by illness Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved A petition sinned by eighteen property holders praying for the . .. f . .. lf.-l. ... .1... !..... erection 01 an arc ugui 111 me jiun. tion of North Jersey street and St. lohns avenue was referred to the street and light committee, which at once reported favorably and the light was ordered placed ns petition provided. A communication signed by nil the hotel and saloon men wns read, in which council was requested to remove O. W. Allen from the oiTicc of night police, if it wns proven that Mr. Allen was not n free hold er, ns Section ly of the city chnrter provides. The communication was referred to the health and police committee with instructions to look into the eliuibility of Mr. Allen's appointment and return report of finding to council. The Home Telephone franchise was taken up nnd Attorney Cireene, who had been instructed to inves tigate the document, stated that there were still three requirements that he believed would be best to have ad justed befoie the franchise was accepted by the council, wliic related to the charues to be made for service. Alderman Hewitt stated that out of deference to the wishes of Alderman Norton, who requested that no iictioif'be taken with the franchise until lie was able to be present, and who was greatly interested in the matter, he believed it no more than right that the council should accede to hi desite. Hut Alderman Ra.sercouli not see it in that light. The people, he said, were clamoring for better telephone service ami he thought the franchise should be granted at once. He had conferred with rep resentatives of the company am they agieed lo do anything within leason in order to get the service heie as soon as possible, ami they told him they would uot stand for any monkey business on the part of the council; that they had made fair ami geiietous pioisisal to the council and that that body shouli not waste any time in granting the concessions asked for in the frau chise; that they were hesitating on whether to hud 1 their lines to the Sell wood district or heie first, but if the council would get down to business the line to this city wotth be rushed through prior to the other tHiiiit named. Therefore Mr. Raser could see no good reason why the matter .should be further de layed. As for Alderman Norton not being pieseut, he only had one vote and it was not likely to cut any ice In the lestilt. lie was quite emphatic in his desue that 110 time be wasted lest we lose this valuable ( ?) addition to the city's exchequer ami his constituents he comcllcd lo cither Have to worry along with the sior service I hey now have, or go without eutiiely. Alderman Hewitt, in teiily, stated that the council icvoguucti tne company as living composed of gentlemen ami cxpectrtl to tieat them us such, but he thought it iiuliUkiuess-like to rush the thing through, and he had an idea that Alderman Norton might have something "up his sleeve" he would like to make known befoie action was taken. He, theiefoie, favoied del.t) ing the matter for at least a week, and in Ihe meantime have Attorney decile endeavor to have the mat teis adjusted which weie still left cii. wimiu a vote being taken the franchise was held over lor a week. Alderman Rasei's being the only dissenting vote. A huaucial texrt of the lire de- Mitmeiit was lead, and council was leqtiested to pay a number of the items mentioned such as tent. coiiiH.'iisatiou fot deputies, 1 ubber coats, etc. Kclcrml to liiiauce committee. The following bills weie present- I ,t I .1 .a r i: V.011CII v lo. tor groceries tmtushed the Atkinson family, Mo. 1.'; Loitcn kv lo. lor groceries Itiiuishcd the Daueheity family. T. i;Sl. Johns Hotel, for food I ut nulled prisoners, $6.00. Alder man Hewitt took occasion to state that the city had paid enough bills for aiding the oor; that it was the outtty s duty to loot tlie.se lulls. and Ihe city in paying for the main. tenauce ol the poor 111 this maimer, was doing more than it had a light to do. Hefatheieda motion that the chief of police heieafter be oideied uot to fin uish relief to the poor lo exceed two dollars at any one time and to at once reort the destitute cases to the piopcr county J aiuuoruies. lie argued that two dollars woi th of goods would re-' lieve any inuuediate distress and would keep the family alive until the county could do its duty. Motion carried. The above bills, including one for Ivatihoe street iinpioveuient of $.35 were allowed. The Viewers' ropoit of Richmond LECTURES ON HUMAN CHARACTER Cordial.
