knowlcdgo of all tho circumstances , The Now Age closeB Its fifth vol
leading up to and attending It, Unit; nine, with this Ibsuo, In a spirit of
It will bo rememborofi sorrowfully by j'gratltudo to Its many patrons, nmong
those who bo brutally nnd vulgarly whom nro tho most substantial bust
mistreated a man, although colored, ncss houses of tho city nnd stnto, nnd
of Mr. Cayton's prominence nnd pop
ulnrlty In tho politics of tho stnto.
Mr. Cnyton has Just returned from
n visit to tho South. During his nb
nenco his editor gnvo tho enemies of
tho pnper excuse to chnrgo It with
having criminally libelled tho now
mayor of Seattle For this Cnyton
was nrrcstcd In his homo nt n Into
hour of night, tho sheriff's representa
tives trentlng him most shnmcfully.
They bohnved Ilka 111 mannered

wngon llko n common criminal. Ho
wns not oven pormlttod to cnll nny
of his friends to his nsslstauco until
nftor ho had "registered" at tho
prison.
Subsequently, Unnkor Hogc, who
formerly controlled tho Dnlly Post
Intolllgencor, nnd who Is ono of tho
prominent nnd wealthy men of tho
stnto, submitted his check for the $500
ball required, but tho authorities re
fused It, promising to rolcnso Cnyton
only on n ensh deposit of that nmount.
This was done
Tho chief element In this outrngooiiB
proceeding Is politics. Tlioso who
liuvo prcclpltntod this scnndnl will bo
norry, beyond n doubt. Their flrBt net
is disgraceful to tho stnto nnd n rank
discredit to tho city in which It was
dono.
DKMOOHATS WILL REORGANIZE.
Oregon domocraey, which lins boon
suffering from congestion of tho norvo
for a long tlmo, has at last concluded
to apply tho herolu treatment of re
organization of what remains of It.
Tho prostrato form of tho' de'.odont
democracy of tho stnto tins been sub

tion by eminent .party doctors for
murks mid iiiiirtHnntl scars rocolvod
In lb) battlo for years with nn Im
pregnable foo, nnd tho result of tho
illngiioslH Is tho discovery that tho
party yet possessoH life enough for
reorganization of Us fragments, Tho
oontlmont of thoso who havo proposed
this reauscltntlou Is that tho various
and varying eloments of tho original
organization can bo harmonized nnd
amalgamated.
Tho mooting of thoso hitherto dis
cordant olomontH, including democrats
straight, gold domocrnts, silver demo
crats, populist domocrnts, social dem
ocrats, fusion domocrnts and all othor
makes nnd brands of that pocullar
political trlbo, will bo a mutual con
solation conference tlrst, nnd, second,

which they havo been favored during
recent elections, stnto nnd legislative
After shedding a fow ot Inst yonr'a
tears, n quantity of carbonated cement
will bo applied to tho edematous sur
face of tho party nnd tho healing pro
cess will begin In earnest.
As n mnttor ot fact, domocraey
ought to bo reorganized In this state.
It will help to unlto tho republican
ruction., ami aim gaiety to iiuuro con-
testa, Kucourngo democracy to re
organize, by till means.
AOUINALDO IN JAIL.
General Fuustnn, ot Kansas, now
doing notable sorvlco in tho Philip
pine Islands, has Anally captured
Kmtllo Agulualdo, loader of tho Fil
ipino revolt, and tho lutropld war
nils. Jull. Thoro appears to bo no
nllu Jail, Thoro appears to bo no
doubt ot tho authenticity ot this ro
port. This will probably havo n strong In
fluence In speedily bringing tho In
surrection to a close. Without Aguln-
nldo'a encouragement to the lenders
of his trlbo In Luzon the war could no
doubt have been determined many
months ago. With the chief deprived
of his liberty and, therefore, of his
authority, the Filipinos will certainly
lose courage In their confusion and
consent to the conditions long ago
presented by the commission.
I General -Funstun's exploit was one
of tllO most daring 111 tllC history of
the work of the American forces In
the Philippines. Although Agulnnldo
was lilddon away only 200 miles illst-
ant from the capital of tlio Islands,
the mountains nnd Bwamps and the
tompor of tho people through whose
districts the general and his body-
to Its thousands of readers throughout
tho Northwest.
No wcokly publication In Oregon
tins succeeded nioro satisfactorily than
has tho Now Age. Its patrons nro
among tho most prominent business
concerns nnd professional men In tho
stnto. Tho constancy of their pntron
ago Is n source of Inflnlto plensuro to
Its publisher. Its contlnuanco will bo
rocolvod with nn equal degree of gratl
tudo, and It will be attended In fu
ture, ns In tho past, with faithful enro.
Tho coming year holds much In
promlso for tho Increased growth una
dovolopmont of tho Northwest. Ore
gon naturally oxpects nn nbundnnt In
tercut In that development. Tho Now
Ago will bo n busy factor In It. And
It expects to grow nnd oxpnnd pro
portionately with tho growth and ex
pansion of our wonderful resources.
Loss than that would not satisfy Its
ambitions.
THE MURDERER NOT MOIWED.
James Urocn, who assassinated E.
llonjamln in such n cowardly man
ner nenr Underwood Landing, on Sun
day morning last, becauso tho lattor
was friendly to a woman who nt ono
tlmo had ngrued to bocomo Mrs.
Clrcon, but who finally clmngod her
mind nbout It, has boon nrrostod nnd
Jailed. Ho confossod that ho was Bon
Jiimln's murderor; thnt ho slipped up
to tho wftidow of tho residence In
which tho dancing party, of which
Donjamln was n member, was lunch
ing, nnd dellborntoly shot him to
death. Hut Green wns not lynched.
No mob npponred to wrenk swlftl
vengeance on' tho fiendish nssnssln,
although his guilt Is fully established
by clrcumstnuco nnd tho murderer's
own confession. Lot this bo said to
tho credit nnd honor ot tho commun
ity In whlcirtho tragedy wns enacted.
Hut, wero Greon n colored man, and
had committed his awful deed In tho
South, ho would havo boon burned nt

after his capture There's tho dif

WHAT ANTS CAN DO.
Borne Thlnga that Show Their Biiperlfn
Intelllucucc. Xhero aro a good many ants of differ
ent varieties on the lot at my country
placo nenr Covington, nnd last year I
began to make a systematic study of
their hnbh. I found It n most fnscln
ntlng pursuit, nnd have resumed It with
much enthusiasm during several visits
this year. A llttlo Investigation will
couvluco almost anybody, I think, thnt
the ant approaches nearer to a man In
point of Intelligence thnn nny of tho
lower nulmnls. Some of tho things I
havo seen nro so marvelous thnt I
would hesitate to spunk of them If slm
liar wonders bad not been fully record
ed by trained scientists.
Near ono of my flowerbeds Is n colony
of small red nuts thnt nro extremely
industrious In collect lug food, nnd they
frequently perform tho most astonish
ing engineering feats In transporting;
heavy burdens to their homes. Not long'
ago I watched n party of nbout a dozen
that had found tho body of rWBiwtllV
spider, and wero dragging Ittownrd tho
nest. Tho spider had hairy legs, which
struck out In every direction and
caught on obstacles, greatly retarding
progress. For several minutes tho nnts
rolled nwny with their nwkwnrd booty,
nnd then stopped nnd seemed to hold a
council. A mlnuto fragment of dryJeaf
was lying on tho ground; presently they
all laid hold ami pulled tho spider on
top of It. They then seized tho edges
and slid It along without dllllculty.
On another ocnslon I saw n lnrgobody
of these snmo ants start out for a raid
on another colony. They marched like
nn army, with scouts thrown out nt tho
sides, nnd, when several feet distant
from the nest, divided Into two parties.
Ouo kept straight ou nnd wns soon en
gaged In (torco coiubnt with tho other
trlbo, whllo tho second detachment
mndo a detour nnd fell upon the hill
from tho rear. Tho result wns a groat
victory for tho Invaders.
Anybody that feels Interested In the
subject, and thnt will put In n little
tlmo nt close study, will be ctTtaln to
witness exploits fully ns nstonlMiIng ns
those I havo described. Times-Democrat

Good Etorlea Recalled of the Knitllth
liieliop of Oxford.
An amusing story Is told of Dr.
Stubbs. bishop of Oxford. An Impor-
tuuato lady, knowing his experience of )
tho holy land, kept on nsklug him what
places sho ought to visit, as she wai '
starting on n trip to Palestine. After '
answering topographical questions ,
without number he was again asked:
"But, renlly, what place would you ad-
"to jkhiciio, madam."
vise wo to go to?" "To Jericho, wad
am," said tuo bishop, sweetly.
Another atory turns on a remark at
niaue some time ago at a uig uieeuui
ot church dignitaries. On the way t
the meeting he had passed through a
somewhat hilarious crowd, from .which
ho emerged with a damaged tall hat.vj
This caused no little amusement on his
arrhal, and some ou proposed that
the hat should be brought forward aud
put on the table for general view. "1
propose," said the bishop, "that It be

From "A Hook on Dartmoor,"
written by the Itev. S. Unrlug-Gould,
comes n story which might bnvo come
from n Ich trustworthy source:
The wild and romantic country of
Dartmoor consists of u table-land with
rugged peaks or tors, and till but Im
passable marshes. After n dry sum
mer It Is easy to pick one's wny ncross
parts of which at other times nro full
of pitfalls. At ono of the hitter perlodH
n man wus cautiously threading his
way across one of these treacherous
marshes when he saw a hat lying brim
downward on the sedge. Ho gave It
n gentle, good-humored kick In passing,
and almost Jumped out of his skin
when n choked voice called out from
beneath:
"What be you n-dolug' to my 'at?"
"Bo there now n chap undcr'n?" ex
claimed the traveler.
"1m. I reckon, and n boss under mo
likewise."

BIRD SUPERSTITIONS,
Borne of the Quaint Kbymea That Uacd
To lie lletlevetl.
To dream of tho lnrk Is a good aug
ury for future wealth, health and
riches won by Industry. It Is somewhat
doubtful. If 11 search among old lore and
records of tho past would roveal a sin
gle oiuen, legend or proverb disrespect
ful to this merry bird. We aro told, "If
larks fly high and sing long, expect line
weather," nnd another prognostication
Is evidenced If they rise beforo tlicy
sing at dawn, with nu overcast sky,
wheu rain muy bo looked for, but when
they fly very high, singing as they rise,
a flue day Is to be expected. If Hold
larks congregato In flocks severe cold !
Indicated. Regarding finches, tho plain
tlvo note of this bird Is by many taken
as Indicating ram, and In Scotland the
following Jingle Is common:
"Wect-wcet
' Dreep-dreep!"
The feathered denizens of the farm
yard have ever been associated with
proverbs, such as "Children and chick
en must always be pJckln'," "Curses,
Hko chickens, come home to rooet,"
"A laying hen Is better than a standing
mill." "Snuco for tho goose Is sauce for
tho gander," "The fool puts bis lost hen
In the pot," "Tlui crowing cock lovoa
his own music," and "Geese follow
their leader, If he's a Dig enough
goose." Of fowls thoro la a rhyino thus:
If fowls roll In the saud,
Italn Is at hand."
And when they look toward the sky, or
roost In the daytime, rain may be ex
pected: but if thov trim their feather
! during a storm the rain la about .to
cease, while their standing on one log
is considered a sign of cold weather.
With regard to ducks and geese, we
are told:
"When ducks are driving through the
burn
That night the weather takes a turn.
( In the Morayshire there la a rhyme
thus: .
"Wild geese, wild geese, ganging to the
sea,
Good weather It will be;
Wild geese, wild geese, ganging to the
hill,
The weather It will spill."
The whiteness of a goose's breast
bone is supposed to ludtcate or fore
shadow tho quantity of snow during
the coming winter, as shown In the fol
lowing lines;
"It the November goosebone be thick,
So will the winter weather be;
If the Norember goosebone be thin,
Bo will the winter weather be."
When turkeys perch oa trees and re
fuse to come down snow may be looked
for. When swans fly It Is a alga of
rough weather, while guinea fowls
quail more than usual Just before raia.
