We further promise and agree that in the event of a violation of this contract, we will pay for the first offense the sum oi $5 to the treasurer of the Y. M. C. A. or any other charitable institution in Oregon City, and for each succeeding of fense the sum of $10. We also cgree to accept Western Union time as repotted in this city as the correct time.

However, it is Dot deemed neces sary to revoke the sgreemeut as signed should there be one or two who refuse to sign it. The majority of the mer chants seen yesterday are in favor of a closer union, ani believe that this will not only be a step in the direction of so cial improvement for the clerks, as they w ill have more liberty of evenings, but wilt be a bond that will draw the mer chants together to protect themselves against "dead Wats" and other sources of lots. The clerks, to show their appreciation ol t ie (arly closing hour, have decided t) present the merchants with printed cards, with closing hour and exemp tions. They will also defray the cost of having tlie articles of agreement placed on file. A meeting of the merchants will be called next week, should any refuse to sign the agreement who have competi tion in th) same line of business. The prime movers in this matter were V. A. Huntley and A. Ilechttnan. Fob Sale A good second hand Vic tor in ill and power combined, also a pony. X. Scheel, Bissell, Or.

Sew Yohk, Sept. 13.- A dispatch to the World from Hong Kong says : Advices which were sent here to avoid ( Otis' censorship at Manila, bearing date of September 7, say that General Joseph Wheeler only obtained an assignment to active duty after a serious dispute with General Otis, who wanted to sidetrack the veteran fighter by sending him to some obscure post in the southern islands. General Wheeler now declares ' that he will apply f-jr permissbn to re- turn to the United States soon unless there is some change in the manage- : ment of affairs in ihe Philippines. Xot Enoiiyh 1'ensioHn. New Yohk, Sept. 13. Albert D. Sha-v, the new commander-in-chief ot the G. A. R., said tonight: "A great deal of my time will be given to pension legislation. The old soldier is entitled to lasting consideration. What if the pension roll is large? The Union soldiers saved this nation. Their reward should be commensurate witl their services. If the burden should prove too heavy, I am in favor of a pa triotic pension bond issue, so that only the interest would have to be met from year to year. Let posterity meet the bonds when they mature. Why not? The country was saved to posterity. It is only proper that a part of the burden should fall on pote'ity." Dreyfus Guilty. Renses, Sept. 12. The expected has happened. Dreyfus has been con demned. The court found him guilty and sentenced him to 10 years' deten tion. As he has already suffered five years' solitary inipiisoniiieiit, which counts as double ordinary detention, he will be released at the end of a fortnight. In the meantime, unless the president of the republic pardons him, Dreyfus will have to le degraded here again within eight days. In order to understand the olherwise inexplicable inhumes invoheJ hi the prosecution of Cantan Dieyfus, it is necessnrj to bear in mind: J . 1. That Dreyfus did not write the bordereau; did not communicate mili tary secrets to foreign poueis or their representatives in Paris. 2. That in some way the shameful tiaflic bicame known and exposuie va9 threatened. 3. That the real criminal, or the con spiracy of which hb was the head, had to be shielded nrall cots; and that, Finally, Dreyfus was chosen us the scapegoat because he was a Hebrew and because it was only necessary to charge one of his race with a heinous crime in order to render public sentiment in France frantic, ii rational and inhunan. Heal an Ant I. Xkw Yohk, Sept. 13.-A special to the Tribune from Portland, Me., says: In a railroad train last night Thomas B.

OREGON CITY from the Philippines now would hutnili- ate the nation before the world. Mr Reed replied : "You dont think these Filipinos would chase our soldiers 7000 miles if they would start for home, do you?" . The Portland man replie ! that it was not fear of the Filipinos, but humilia tion in the sight of other nations that was referred to, w hereupon Mr, Reed said : "I have al.i aya obesrved that with in dividuals the fear of humiliation is ex- aetly in proportion as they deseive it. and I believe the same principle holds good with a nation olid with a party. Some people seem to be afiaid that these Filipinos will put their tongues in their cheeks at us. They have dot & that already. They have watched our failure as others have. I don't know how long it will be before the American people get tired of spending 150 000 a day trying to conquer these people, but it does not seem to me it will be very long. I ran conceive that freedom is just as dear to them as it is to us, and that they will fight for it just -as long." In discussing the possibilities of uni versal peace the London Times does not hesitate to declare that the most powerful factor making to that end is the perfection of deadly engines of war. The enormous advance in death dealing Inventions is nearing a point where war will be a calamity to the whole, human race, and the most furious war J rior king or government will hesitatej long before it lets loose these prodigious machines of destruction. With the means of exterminating life now in the hands of the great powers it is to le hoped that thry will not come by the ears, as did the ancient nations, for they would probably depopulate the Our Minor Culprits. Judge Aspinall In Brooklyn the other day gave expression from tlia bench to his astonishment at the num ber of boys who are brought into his court charged with burglary. He had seven before him at tha moment. "There must be something radically wrong in the home surroundings of these boys, " ho said. The boys probably had no homo snrro mdings whatever. What are we to expect of boys who are educated iu the streets, who associate in gangs, whose literature is blcod and thunder, w'hose amusements are fur nished at the cheap and nasty concert hull aud whose art stares at them from the coalyard fences ? Home influence, indeed I It is not tho quality of the home influence that is to blame, but the total absence of it. The popular in clination in the cities is to condone the mischief of the Btreet boy on account of his sine. He is virtually encouraged to be vicious. Very seldom indeed does a stalwat policeman undertake to arrest a young pickpocket without being as I sailed with cries of "Shame!" froml truckmen and bystanders. No one un ' derstauds this so well as tho small boy. Judge Aspinall can help to correct this evil by inflicting pnnishment upon theso boys sternly and not by hunting for tho homes to send them back to. Just how tho boys of a community ruu things when the home influence does not suit them, may be- seen In Viuehind, N. J. A curfew ordinance was passed in Vim-land requiring all children to be indoors upon tho ringing of tho bell at 0 o'clock. This was espe cially odious to the Ikq-s, who when the attempt was made to execute the law broko imo the high school, paraded the etroets in derision, fairly defying the town marshal Now, tho boys of Vina land nro supposed to have home influ ences, but it is very questionable if those influences are at work teaching them respoct for law.
