Only a few days ago the great furniture trust of the Northwest was exposed and broken up, and Judge Wolverton was not done passing sentence on the violators of the law when the Portland Jour nal laid bare the acts mid extortions of another combine the plumbers of Portland -one of the most vil lainous schemes ever devised to rob an unsuspecting people. The Jour nal estimates that this infamous combination has robbed the builders of blocks and dwelling lnntsis of 8i.ooo during the last five months, For some time past people began to suspect that there was something wrong when they called for bids from these gentlenun. 1 ncy knew that their prices were enormous about double what they used to he but they were put off by the statement that the price of iron had so advanced that it was impossible to sell their wares at the old prices; and not only that, but that all the tuaterinl used in plumbing had also advanced, and the poor victim would call on another establishment only to get precisely the same fig ures miuin, When any new firm refused to join the combine he was forced into it by the others. I lie wholesalers refused to furnish him goods, and he Imd to either throw in his lot witli the others or go out of business. Now what is to be done? Will this combine be allowed to go on robbing the people in defiance of the law? We hoiie not. There Is no good i en soi i why this tiust can not be "busted" as well as the fur niture trust. I.et it be done. 4 Walter Wellmaii bos only a short time in which to advertise that trip to the north pole. School election on Monday next.

Just why the city should give away this val uable piece of property because some one asks for it is a hard mat ter to explain. I.et this strip sixty feet wide lw exchanged for a strip of the same width' adjoining the city dock. Or. if this cannot be done, let things stand as they are. Again, it thu council wishes to get rid of this particular tract of ground, let it be leased for a term of years. I Hut never give it away. i CHINA AND GLASSWARE. When Breken, Don't De Too Hety lo Throwing It Away. Ilecnuso glassware, china and bric-n-brac get broken is no reaon for throwing them avny,for unless some of the pieces arc lost they can bo patched nnd glued together and tnmlo to look liko new, if one is careful to fit tho edges closely to gether. They should be practical for use, too, if water or liquid nro not left standing in them. Clear glass is the most difficult of those to mend because it must bo dono so expertly to prevent tho crack from showing. The best kind of gltto for clear glass is nindo from a solution of two ounces of isinglass and half a pint of gin pottrcu into nn open mouthed bottle and sot in tho sun until it dissolves. It should bo shaken well every day nnd before being used should bo strained through a elenu lawn cloth. When ready for tho gluing tho broken glass pieces should bo well washed In hot Biuls, especially on tho edges, dried, nnd then with a smnll camel's hair brush the cement tliould bo put on tho edges of both piccos and when thoy nro nicely fit ted together rubber bands or clcnn strips of cloth should bo bnndnged tightly around them to hold tho edges well together until tho gltto dries. If thu commit has been properly mndo tho break should really not bo visible when dry, for tho reason ninny cracks look Jagged whon mended is because thu edge havo not been well joined and, bubbles of air gutting in, rcllcct tho light, funking tho ragged, broken lines glaringly apparent. ltric-a-brae that is part metal and glass should not bo so difficult to fix over, particularly whuro thu two nialoriiiln meet, for often a pnsto of sifted plaster of purls mixed with thu hctiton white of an egg will mnko them nn strong nnd good ns now. This work must be dono quick ly, for within live minutes nftcr putting it on thu piccus it hardens nnd IioMh Hie metal nnd glass or chiiin lightly together. Two motnl iiiecos should bo mended with solder. To do this tho edgiM should first bu carefully dust ed, wnslied if they arc very dirty and rosin brushed over them. Then when fitted well together and tied in iilncu it slick of solder should bo laid abovo thu break mid n hot iron brought down lightly on it. Whon thu solder cools the melted rosin may bu removed with it cloth dipped in alcohol. The Man In the Moon In Germany, The Curuiati legend tells us that ages ago an old man went onu Sun day morning into (ho foro.it to out timber (how Mick). Mo cut a bundle of fagot and swung thoiit over his nhoulder and began to trudgu homo. On thu way ho met a roiuarkablo looking individual with a faco na bright im the sun. "Do you know, old Mint, that it is Sunday on earth, when all iium ret from their la bors?" asked the stranger. "Sundnv on earth or Monday in hell, it is nil the samo to me," said thu hardened old wretch. "Thou boar your bundle foruvor," said the stranger in ho vanished from tight. A moment later tho old siiiuor and his fagots were deposited on the moon, whore they stand to this day, a porpetual warning to nil Sabbath broukeni. A Connclentloui Patient. "Medicine won't help you tiny," tho doctor told his p.itiout. "What you need is a complete ehaiiu of living. Hit away to tome quiet country place for it month.

Ho looked liku a new man, and tho doctor told , him to. "Yiw, doctor, your advice certaiu-1 ly did the biuine-i. 1 went to bed osrly and did all tho other things you told tue.

Tho winter of 18GG-G7 was one long to bo roraembcrcd by tho peo ple of Iowa and Minnesota for Ita bitter cold weather, deep snow and violent storms, which rendered com munication between tho di(I6rcnt settlements almost impossible. A great many of tho settlements wero on tho extreme frontier nnd abso lutely unprotected nnd defenseless. It wns during this winter that the Sioux attacked nnd destroyed tho family of Mr. Ilowlnnd Gardner. They killed nil except n young daughter, Abbie, who wns tnken in to captivity, but was rescued through the efforts of the United States government. In "The Spirit Lnkc Massncro" she tolls something of her captivity: Whenever the Indians thought to torture mo by threatening to tnko my life I would merely bow my hend. My tcnrlcss ncquiesccnco nnd willingness to dio seemed to fill them nil with wonder. Thoy thought it a sign of bravery. Soon nftcr my capture one of tho warriors, who wns sitting by me ono dny in tho tent, thinking to test my courngo or to bo nmuscd nt my fears, took his revolver from his belt nnd began loading it, while ho gavo mo to understand Hint ho would kill nic ns soon ns it was loaded. I merely bowed my head to signify thnt I wns ready. Whon thu revolver wns nil load ed ho drew buck tho hammer nnd held tho weapon closo to my head. I quietly bowed my head, expecting ho would do ns ho said. Hut In stead of that ho lowered tho weapon and looked nt 1110 ns if astonished nnd then laughed uproariously. So amused was ho thnt ho told his com panions of it, nnd it was n favorlto subject of conversation. Those Indians weru at a loss to know what to do with much of tho plunder thoy had tnken. Among tho spoils wero quantities of soda nnd cream of tnrtiir. They interro gated mo ns to their use, and when I told them wo ucd it in making bread they wished mo to mnko some. Thoy seemed greatly sur prised nnd plowed when thoy saw the bread "grow" during tho process of baking. Although pleased with thu "growing," they wore too suspi cious of being poisoned to cnt nny until I had eaten. Then thoy de voured it greedily. A Perambulating Pudding. A commuter who lives up the Hudson river and who is, of course, accustomed to go downtown every morning contributes a specimen of Finnish humor to the New York Sun. Hy tho commuter' confession ho is prono to prowl around tho ro frigerator almost every night nnd quietly dispose of nny unconsid ered triflo thai may tompt his nppo lito without publishing tho snmo to tho household nt largo. Itecontly his wifo wns discussing luncheon with a now importation from Fin land named Hilda and, remember ing n pudding thnt they lind not been nhlu to finish tho day boforo, mid to tho kitchen autocrat: "Do you know where that picco of cold pudding is?" Without a smilo on Iter faco Hil da answered: "Yes, inn'nm. It h'na gono down town I" A Slloht Oleadvantage. Sho wns only ten years old, littlo Margaret, but thero woro two younger children, and tho had al ready taken upon her sltouldoni omu of tho responsibilities of lifo, but did not preiond to enjoy them all. "Where aro Helen and Agatha?" usked n visitor, who found Marga ret sitting on the doorstep alono 0110 afternoon, looking particularly sober. "They've gono off to havo what mother cnlls 'mischief nnd they call 'fun,' " said tho solitary one. "And you didn't go with them," said tho visitor, with a hint of sym pathy in her voice "Oh, no," said Margaret, with a sigh; "mother trusts mo so dread fully I I can't havo much of any fun." Youth's Companion. The Price ol Disobedience. An Italian priuco had strictly for bidden one of his daughters to f moke, but so great a hold had the habit obtained over her thnt she secretly engaged in tho practice at every opportunity. Ono day she wns indulging in a cigaretto as the reclined on a balcony attired in a dress of tho lightest muslin. Sud denly her father appeared on the scone. In tho hurry to hide the evidence of her disobedience the princess placed her hand with the burning cigarette behind her back. The result was startling and tragic. Her frock was immediately in a blaze, and she was fearfully burned from head to foot, dying alter ! fering intensely. For Sale A fine driving mare, and almost new buggy.

Nino o'clock; Qenernl Darrns draws his sword; orders ring out; tho infantrymen shoulder nrms; tho sabers of tho cavalry glnnm; nt the far edge of tho field a littlo group appears. It i3 made up of lour artillerymen in somber dol mans. In tho center is Dreyfus, tho light flashing on his sword, on tho three gold galloons that mark his rank. Beside him strides tho ndjutnnt of tho gunrd, tho execu tioner of the militnry decree, n ginnt of n man, cloaked, plumed, glorious. The little group comes obliquely across tho naked field. Tho "traitor's" step is firm, his head is high, his left hand grasps tho hilt of his sword. Without the mob lifts its dull clamor, tho sulky growl of 0,000 alcoholic throats. Whero tho general sits on his horse tho littlo group halts. Tho cannoneers fall back, nnd Dreyfus stands alono. Very small ho seems; motionless, cut in steel. And tho general speaks: "Dreyfus, you nro unworthy .o bear nrms. In tho nnmo of tho French republic I degrndo you I" Then thu desolulo man raises suddenly his nrms to heaven and cries with n loud voice, I nm inno cent!" Ab sudden is tho ronr that comes from tho Latin mob, surging ngninst tho iron fence, "Death I" nnd "Judas I" and "Traitor I" A si lenco more terriblo than tho ronr of tho mob falls ns tho executioner steps forward, strips olT the epau lots, the gold braid, thu gold but tonsensigns of n man's honor and breaks across his kneo tho sol dicr's sword. And Dreyfus stands immobile, beaten upon by nil tho winds of fate. Only when tho sword snaps in twain 11 great cry comes from mm a male cry, sonorous ami stern: "On tho heads of my wifo nnd children I swear 1 am innocent! 1 Bwcar it I Vivo In Frnncol" And tho mob, in tho streets, nt tho gates, on tho roof tops, howls: "Death I Death I" It is tho nn Bwor of Franco. The parade begins. Thu littlo group is led now by two officers of the Republican guard. Slowly it passes thu long files of tho soldiery, just boyond sword reach lest nn impulsive snber should reach the "trnltor's" heart. Thu littlo man is dressed in black rags now. Hut ho marches steadily, his head erect. Thero is not 11 quiver In him, so firm is his drilled courage of a soldier. Whon he passes the fen.-o, behind which thu mob scot'ics, ho cries oncu more his innocence mid "Vivo lit Franco!" What ho snys thoy cannot hear, but they answer him with crucifying clamor, 'to tho journalists ho says, "Toll Franco I am innocent!" And they call him "Judos" and "traitor." Not onco does hu lower his head in this grim parade of ugouv. Not onco does ho give way to fenr or nnger. As though hu had mndo himself iron, ho passe., proclaiming hi guiltless honor nnd his lovo for I' ranee. Vanco 'ihompium 111 attC' coss Magazine. Hie Weapon.
