FATHER AM) SOS,
Tlir Old Hun and tlie Hoy DImim the
I'opullht Caudldute
It wua the flrat nice iluy that ha'l oc
cur red afior a priol of many day rain.
For Wfi-ke the popiilinla haul Wn carrying-
on a UtpKiilt campaign ami the
empty dry good boxa in the country
lore, had become liadly demoralized
from the effrct of the whittlera knife.
It wae too nice a day to ait in the houae
or liang around the couoiry atore, ao
many of tlmm came to town to air them-
aelvea, and talk fiat money. An old
j timer wan Hitting on the balutradn of
I the RUHH'naion bridge, watching the -I
phi pane up and down Main atreet, and
. hy hia ido aut hia aon, one of thoae pro
I cociou yotitha who atk 'pieationa that
puz.le a wine man to armwer. The old
man waa a ke-n oWrver of mun and
thinxa, and mentally aied up each
puHhcr-hy. Koon the hoy unahle to con-1
' tain hltiiaelf any lonT, 1-ean to auk
jtH'Htitjiin :
lioy I'a; w ho are ail thote peoplu i
walking up and down the atreet, and j
aome of lliem are gathered in groups,
eaincally talking?
I'a Thoae, my aon ; are veritable
1 popnliata, regular calamity how lem.
Hoy I'a); what are populiats?
I'a My aon ; there are two kinds of
i populieta. One clasa are the leaden
I and boMtea, who look upon the common
eople aa mere cattle to be driven about
at will. The lutler are the other claaa,
w ho are no doubt aincete in their ideal, I
and work vailv and lale for the auccees I
- .j -
of Die party; and contribute to the cam
paign fund. They have been duped by
the boaa, who are after the oiU and
' honor of ollice.
Boy Who ia that light-complexioned
man, w ho tnovea around at a lively rate ;
the other men Helen to him very atten
tively when he talks ?
Pa That, my aon; ia W. 8. U'Ren,
the Clackamas county bosa and dicta
tor of the populiats. lie heads the
ticket as a candidate for representative,
and was at one lime republican. He
is virtually a carpet bagger, being a
comparative recent arrival in the stale of
Oregon, and as he ia not taxpayer, be
is not, identified witb the interests of
Clackainat county any more than to
bold down a soft job aa manager of the
Lewelling nursery at Milwaukee, which
by tbe way has gone fluey under
his alleged management. He would
like to be governor of Oregon and
pose as a second Pennover, conse
quently he would give all his old clothes
and half the populist party to get
elected to office. He was formerly some
thing of a lawyer, but when the spring
days came his thoughts turned lightly
from the nursery to those of seeking
official position-.
lioy I'a; who is that tall looking man
with a light mustache and chin whisk
errs. I have seen him in town so often
during the past few months?
Pa That my son; is G. W. Grace,
the Ely merchant, who is the candidate
on the populist ticket for sheritl". Mr
boy, it is a striking fact that the popu
lists leave the farmers out and give their
best positions to merchants and law
yers. In the laH few years Grace has
accumulated a considerable portion of
this world's goods by selling merchan
dise to populist farmers at a big profit.
The farmers' alliance, which was the
father ot the populist party, did not per
mit merchants aud lawyers to belong to
the organization, but they captured the
organization of the populist party and
turned down the farmers. If Grace was a
republican or democrat, the populists
won). I calf him a grasping plutocrat
Boy I'a, who is that quiet looking
man, I see him in town every day?
I'a That is Elmer l)ixon, the justice
of district No. 4, and the populist candi
date for county clerk. But, my boy ; I
fear that he will have more time thun
ever to devote to the breeding of fine
poultry when his present term of office
expires as justice of the peace.
Boy Who is llmt bovish looking man
coming down Seventh street?
Pa That, my dear son; is another
populist candidate for legislative honors.
His name is George Ogle, of Medulla,
For ' a long time he was a demo
crat, but the insatiable fever for office,
got the better ot his judgment, and he
went over to the populists. He has so
wasted his substance in seeking an offi
cial Dosiiion at the hands of the popu
lists and writing four-column articles on
finance, that his worldly possessions now
consist one lonely cay use horse.
Boy Who is that coming across the
suspension bridge in a wagon;- his
horses and vehicle are covered with
mud ? -
Pa That, my son ; is J. II. Kruse, an
other candidate for the legislature on
the populist ticket, who pays no taxes.
It is true, his vehicle and horses are
covered with mud, but it is a self-evident
fact that his name will be mud af
ter the June election.
Boy Pa ; who Is that man getting off
the electric car; is he a populist, too?
Pa Yes, my son; he is the candi-j
date for county recorder, and hi name ,
is Alfred Lewellirig. He was oiicej
county clerk of Washington county. It J
beats ail how these professional politi
cians get into the populist party. The
office don't seek the man in that party,
or tome of theae people would not have
been nominated.
A Daugeron Kxperfence.
Last Saturday a serious combination ol
circumstance threatened lar a time the
life and well being of one of the most
popular mining men upon the Illinois
river.
Mr. George Ward, recently from Ore
gon City, having purchased a placer
mine near Lunatic bar, took a stroll
with a view to ascertain the volume of i
water wbich could be ditched to the
mfiiH, following the streams up on the
mountain a considerable distance he ran .
unwittingly upon a ferocious she bear,
who waa suckling two cubs. Mr. Warl, !
who was accompanied by a friend, was
busy making calculation on how many
inches of water he w oul 1 be able to ob
tain for his mine, and his astonishment
can be easily imagined, (perhaps) when
ho was confronted by a gaunt she bear
gnashing her teeth and endeavoring to
lacerate bim with her terrible claws.
Having left bis Winchester in camp, the
only weapon he had was a small pocket I
pietol 34-calibre, which be at once pro-!
ceeded to put in action . The rapid fire
of the self-acting revolver caused the ;
bear to retire badly wounded, as hastily !
as she had sprung up. The only dam
age suffered by Mr. Ward was in bis
clothing, which was considerably torn
by the claws of the bear, the overcoat be
ing pretty well torn tip. During the epi
sode narrated above, Mr. Ward's friend
escaped to a point of vantage from which
he could note the results of the conflict,
without the least danger of any bodily
barm and also shout encouragement to
bis friend, occasionally throwing in a bit
of advice. After the bear retreated. Mr.
Ward coolly pocketed bis pistol and tak
ing up a large stone crushed in the heads
of the cubs. He was about to retire
when bis friend shouted to him to bring
one of the cubs along, that it might be
offered in evidence w hen the story waa
related in the camp. Mr. Ward thought
of the numerous "doubting Thomases"
that infest every place in life and con
cluded that the advice was "timely and
good." so he picked up one of the cubs
and brought it in, and it has now been
sent to the taxidermist to be preserved
as a trophy of what a cool brain and
steady nerve can do tor a maa in sudden
danger, and will prove an interesting or
nament for the cabin of tbe victor.

Coxty, the Connnonwealer.
"General" J. S. Coxey, notorious as
the leader of Coxey's army, accompanied
by his wife, orated at Shively's opera
house Tuesday evening, Mr. Coxey
took particular pains to keep off tbe
grass while in Oregon City. In fact, he
was very particular not to allow his
feet to touch tlie grass while here, or at
least his populist friends were. He did
not by any means disport himself with
JefTersoniau simplicity during his stay.
A covered carriage was placed at
his disposal to ride to and from the
opera house, which some wag adorned
with a placard.' "Keep of the Grass."
The populists came in from the country
for a distance of 12 miles around, ou
horseback, in wagons and on foot, and
at least 200 people went away unable to
gain admittance. His talk was neither
brilliant nor effective. - He told a num
ber of funny stories and a few calamity
howls, and the populists applauded. At
tbe close the contribution box was
passed around for funds to pay Coxey's
salary. Coxey is not a very attractive
rersonnge by any means, but his wife is
a very clever looking lady. At any rate,
they are having a pleasant visit to Ore
gon at the expense if the populists.

So Mr. Giiman Brown, of 34 Mill St.,
South Gardner, Mass., was told by the
doctors. His son had lung trouble, fol
lowing typhoid malaria, and he spent
three hundred and seventy-five dollars
with doctors, who finally gave him up,
saying: "Your boy won't live a month."
He tried Dr. King's New Discovery and
a few bottles restored him to health and
enabled him to go to work a perfectly
well man. He says he owes his present
health to use of Dr. Kings New Discov
ery, and knows it to be the best in the
world for lung trouble. Trial bottles

Chapter One.
And in these Infer days there waa
atrife and bickering among the people)
living In the land of Clackamas, and the)
country thereabout. There was rumor
of war in the region in and around Da
mascus and tbe country beyond, Mo
lalla, Marrpiarn and the country beyond
the river Willamette.
The Urenites, Weaverites, Coxeyitea
and Anarcliite gathered themselves to
gether, and said : We are of the tribe,
of the Philistines, and we will rise op
and smite the children of tlie true God
on both cheeks. We will call the Phar
isees to our aid and take possession of
the court house in the city, called Ore
goo City and the ahekels and records
therein, and they ahall remain a heri
tage for our children forever and ever.
Tbey are thrifty ani prosperous, and
haye houses and lauds And herds of cat
tle and horses aud sheep, accumulated
by their toil and industry, while we have
talked politics an J left our fence down,
and our farms have gone to ruin. While
we were talking finances and fiat shekel
at the country store, and on the roads
that lead up to the Falls City, and were
getting rich (in our minds), on the prob
able issue of fiat money, oar husband
men did not plant tbe seed in the
ground and we are in sore distress be
cause we will have no crops. Our peo
ple are murmuring among themselves,
for they have contributed their mites
to the campaign fond, and soon oar
children will be crying for bread.
We wilt arise and gird on our armor
anJ prepare for war against the people
of the true God. Our prophets and
leaders are men mighty in deceit and
cunning and are liars from away back.
We will arise early in the morning,
and do much loud talking for we are
mighty in wind, and given to much
boasting.
We will send to the far East for wise
men (in their own eves), who talketh
for lucre and are clad in purple and
fine linen. They will tell our people
how to vote and not tall into tbe hands
of the republicans.
Thus endeth the first chapter.
