A Store Electrified. xne .Astorian toil the following re markable incident, perhaps exaggerated, but certainly never heard of before : Who ever heard of a grocery store be ing magnetised? Yet such a case hap pened iu Astoria : yesterday, w lien Joe Kippo put his key in the lock of Foard A stokes store yesterday morning to open up he received a severe shock that al most knocked him down. The store be ing opened, the other boys soon followed and customers began to arrive as usual. One wanted pickles and Joe dived into the brine to till the order, when he re ceived another shock. Bv this time he . began to ' suspect that -something was wrong. Just then Carl, the boy. began to build the fire in the stove, and he, too, was shocked, being thrown down by the force of the unseen power. Fred Johnson reached upon the shelf to get down some canned tomatoes, for another customer, and was immediately doubled op like a letter U. This was something of a surprise to ' Fred so early in the morning. "Jim" O'Connell took a pur chasers cash and attempted to put it in the trolley car leading to the cashier's desk, but waa thrown back into the su- rar bin with sack force as to make his teeth chatter. Bis; "Hank" Ingal's and tne Doss arrived on the scene about this time and it was decided to investigate these strange performances of the erst- wuiw statu storeroom ana too electrician of the street car line was! called in who soon discovered that the electrical suo- Iy wire which runs the big coffee mill ad got loose from its moorimm and had Charged tne entire store.

Bali Hkam to thi Fsost The bald beads of Albany who have been meeting at Louis Vierecks seem to have counter parts in Ecgene according to the Guard, which eavs : There used to be lots of bald headed men, and women too, in Eugene but there isn't anv more. About three months ago these hairless deni lens put their heads together in private consultation for their own mutual good, wiw tne result mat a Daid bead duo was organised, with place of meeting at Jerry Horn's barber shop. And now these men who have for so long been de frauding the honest and hard working barber out of a few cents for cutting their hair visit this place of business quite fre quently to have the smooth and glossy surface of their upper sphere raked and scraped and rubbed and scrubbed until the blood ooses out in the places wbere the hair ought to be. But they don't mind this. They would be willing to go through the severest teH if they were only inspired with confidence in the as surance that said tea would bring back tne long lost but still longed lor Hair. And the scheme is succeeding admirably as several members of the club can tes tify to. Peiuiaps Sax Bhowx. Earlv last even ing a specimen of the "Weary Waggles" tribe came to the university dormitorf and asked for something to eat. He was set oat a good substantial lunch in the basement of the building and he fell to disposing of the mainstay of life in a way characteristic of the man who eats only when he gets a good opportunity. Short ly afterward the basement was vacated by every one except bis trampship and the cook. The cook commenced asking the man questions regardine bis previous and future wanderings, etc., at the same time noticing that the man acted strange ly, refusing to answer some of his ques tions. As soon as the "knight of the road" had satisfied his cravings for the necessaries of life, he arose to his feet. whipped ont an utrlv looking 44 revolver and chased the cook up stairs following turn closely. ben they reached tue eronnd floor, the tramp took to bis heels and disappeared in the whereness of the wbetnerness. tugene Kegister.

As a prelude to his lecture Dr. Grant last evening offered $100 to any one who would show that his accusations against Komantem tne previous night were not true The Bhskx-ra? representative did not hear this part of the lcture, but some of the remarks were said to have caused somewhat of an excitement. The discourse on evolution which fo -lowed, was one that might well attract attention and even arouse the professors of a state university, for Dr. Grant's the ories in refererence to evolution are out spokeu and strinking.a direct attack upon scientists, who are declared to bo com pletely at sea in reference to their theo ries and demonstrations. Below wo give a synopsis, enough to show the tenor of the speakers remarks : Evolution means to evolve. Evolu tionism id a creed, a distinct belief. Un der it things hsve kept growing until everything in existence is accounted for by It. There are two classes, the theistic, which admits of divine interference, and atheistic, that ascribes it to natural laws without the intervention of God. The speaker declared that hi would speak purely from scientific research and not as a preacher. Where came we from, where do we go, that is the question, and a minister has as much right to discubS it as a college professor, who doesn't know any more that, vou do The neb nlar hypothesis was discussed, and crit icised. First it was a cold nebula, then it was devided to be, a hot nebula, but after wards it proved to lie only a great many stars. Thr heat of the sun according to scientists is iwj uegrees to o.otosjH.i de grees ; the cold has been figured out at about 439 degrees. The speaker found that they didn't know anything about it, nor anyone else. The inconsistencies of scientists was that there was a cold.glacial period, then a warm period and now it is ec tune colder. Granite was not pro duced by fire but accumulation of dif ferent rocks. Ignorance is the stock in trade ot many scientists. How long did it take to cool ilia world, scientists varv from 5 to 350 million yean,. The crust of the earth is 24 to 200 miles thick, that is as near as scientists get it. The falla cies of the alleged different ages are now at work tt Yellow ttoe pars. Forma Jon of life: Hens have eiiiht different words at least ; all animals talk to their mates. Therefore people are born of bens. Oregonians of ducks. There has been development, but man never came from anything below. Instead of devel oping the speaker showed how trolobitea degenerated and a tew life: was started to degenerate in its turu. The magnates have always been first. r.very animal baa been perfect in its adaptation, needing nothing more Otherwise it would have died. Thus it could not give birth to anything better. Anything done to change an nimal will destroy it- The swan for instnace is built for his business and cannot be changed in the least for his life. A mongrel in anything can never pro duce itself. The result is sterility. There is not a missing link from the loacst to the highest form. A horse developed is intensified and more of a horse than before, not changed in the least. Freaks indicate nothing!. The type is always persistent. Species are immutable. Sometimes flexible. but always returning. The rooster crows just the same in the morning as 4(Ki0 years ago. It is 1 ily to try to se! lie the question of how man came. In the beginning God did it, but bow is not known. Science can't even tell how life is now procreated. It knowns nothing about iu Every child is born now the same a; the first one. We do not want our public schools to teach dogoas, and evolution is a dogma, and eventually atheism, the state has no right to give lunds to teach dogmas, evolution is In the iU We don't want our children to go to state schools to learn that our ancestors were monkeys. w e are tne olL-prings ol uod and notol apes. All praise to Mini. Th WittAT snriTios is given in the i following from the Statesman : The price of wheat jumped up two cents yes terday and is now quoted at 50 rents in this city. It is q site probabU that a con siderable amount of the product will be sold at this figure. At Aliiany and Cor- vailu the ottering are the same, and, as a consequence, the farmers all smile. This is tiie highest notch reached since September, ls93,wben the quotation was 50 cents. Al .over the norlhwett the market is stronger and there is good prospect of a greater advance than that of yesterday. A leading dealer of the Wil lamette valley sixes up the situation in this manner: "It is undoubtedly a fact that there is a shortage in the world's crop of wheat, and that this year we shall consume a portion, if not all our surplus. This is one of the thiocs that has helped to stiffen wheat,and whether if any t.igher.and if so. how much higher it may be, it is impossible to predict. It is also true that the war news contrib utes more or less to the advance. A pe culiar thing in the present markets is that wheat today is nigher by a cent or more in Portland than t hicago, a condi tion very rarely seen. This is doubtless to be attributed to the lact that tne grain fleet, Portland bound, is large, while the visible wheat supply in the port is not This I act is very suggestive mat uie price will not lemain up, and the Ikh- ockat fears a fall at an early day.

It is indeed strange how many peculiar and unnatural things liquor will some times prompt men to do when under its influence. Last Friday we had a strik ing illustration along this very line. Hugo Blakel v and w alter tiasbrouck are attending the South Side school, and it appears tbat U.e boys were leeunga Utile mischievous, and wrote upon their slates the name "Foust" which was pre ceded bv some word that at a distant re sembled vulgarity ,and exhibited the same to Gideon Fonst1s little girl, who took it as an insult, and miormed ber papa ot the fact. Mr. Foust had been drinking a little hell water, and getting a revolver proceeded lo the school boose to have a settlement. He arrived there at the last recess, when alt concerned were called in, and an investigation into the facts was instituted. bile Hugh was making a statement Gideon called out, "You're a liar," which was responded to by Hugh in a similar ungentlemanly manner, when Gideon pulled his revolver, Henry Blakely was present and inter ceded, taking the revolver from Mr. roust, who, however, made no-attempt to use it. The following Monday when the irate lather had become hint-elf, he saw his great wrong, and immediately went to the school house and acknowl edged the fact to all those concerned, and tbe matter lias now been. dropped. Tux Bioossr Evist in February will be the Wood mens entertainment on Washington's birthday. A program will be presented in which features will be songs by Mrs. Langdon, Miss Ellis and Rev.

The air at Astoria and Portland is fnll of Hammond talk. As Albany is mater ially interested in that part relating to the extension of the O. C. & E., we give the following from tbe Telegram, though it may be said yoa can tell little about what Portland papers say on railroad building : "Wild rumors" and truly they seem such have been afloat since Mr. flam mond'a return from the east to the ef fect that the 10,000 tons of steel tails for the Goble road were rot in reality in tbe interests of that line, bat on the other hand the rails are intended fo. tbe ex tension of the Oregon Central from Al bany and Prineviile and east of the mountains. The strong hopes of the up per Willamette valley towns that some time they would be on a line ot connec ti m with the O.C.AL, have evidently led tbe Attorians into believing that perhaps after all they have placed too much confidence in Promoter Hammond, who, in reality, bas made more zealous efforts to start the Goble road than any of his predecessors in this enterprise. In fact, it is suraested that the 10.000 tons i of rails would about 11 the bill for the new line, which it has baen suggested Mr. Hammond will some time build in the Willamette valley and eastward. As tbe rails will be loaded on trains that wilt come to Portland, it is said that af ter all, it may not be that the rails are for use between Goble and Astoria But after giving this lurid rumor in elaborate form, Mr. Hammond is be seeched to reassure the people that it is all stuff that dreams are made of. and n ot fit to be listened to by sensible peo ple. Thereupon Mr. Hammond does bis be ft to qoiet tbe excitable nerves of the Astorians by firing at them this poser, which at first glance won id seem to con vey the fallacy of the story : "If it is rumored that these rails are to be used on the line in the Willamette valley, I can answer that in a sentence. Why should I have these rails brooght to the Colombia river and resbipped from here at heavy expense, w ben they coo Id just as welt be delivered by ship to my own road, at Yaquina bay? No, there is nothing in tbe rumor, and i wilt state furthermore, that it is not only my de sire, but it is largely t my interest.look Ing at it in one sense, to complete tbe Goble road even sooner than my contract calls for. 1 have already said the road wiil be in operation in lt&o." Air. Hammond further aasu res the As torians that the steel rails whh h he or dered from England are to be used on the Goble road. The only thing which seriously affects the early'compielion of tbe road is the delay of the Astorians themselves in the matter of giving the road the subsidies) that they originally pr?,m" , Mr. Hammond in a reported inter view, a few davs ago, stated that be was doing his share, and was acting in good faith, a&d that U the people performed tbcir part of the contract all woold be well with the railroad. In regard to the question of extending the Oregon Central A Eastern, it is a well-known fact that Messrs Hammond and Bonner Lave no burning desire at tbe present time to experiment with ex tensions to the struggling railway line from the bay lo Albany, w hies they se cured control of al a critical period, and have preserved in the face of great ob etsvcles. The line has cost the Montana capitalists dear and it sjunds as good as a fresh joke to hear that tbe 1C,(M tons of new steel rails may be sent op to Al bany and an extension be built toward oi mm ,UQ!a 1Q0 miles of the O. C. A E. in anv direction wooid gladly welcome tbe road, Md wooUi extend the utmost aid to help .h.h Km . l. tin um. Konw.r .nj Hammond said they were . - r, tt, m. ent. So tat any rumor about tbe un- mediate -xt-Bion of this line must be wnh . iiberli allowance of salt. however much tha people dislike to bear it. Mr. Hammond will doubtless build an extension to the Central Oregon line when tbe prospects are brighter.
