Sullivan wants to be a congressman, he ought to have a cabinet position as secretary of war. A "jumping" crank has gone over the Niagara falls and is still alive. And great was the fall thereof. Wonder if an abstract company Would be prohibited from making a copy of the public records of Benton county, i they desired to do so? Come o think about it such has been the tase. The wheat crop of Europe is forty five per cent less than the yield of last year, so it is learned from the 'official report of the Vienna grain con gress, lately in session. Look out for rise in the price of this staple arti cle. The republican national committee has canvassed the situation in the new states and concluded there is no need of a special session of the committee to help out the election there. The new states are safe for the party fo which they owe their statehood. The republicans of the new state of Washington have placed the. following ticket in the field for their first state election which occurs on Tuesday, October 1: For congress, J. W. . Wil son, of Spokane. For governor, E. P. Terry, of King. For lieutenant gover nor, C. E. Langton, of Okanegau. For secretary of state, Allen Weir, of Jefferson. For state treasurer, A. Lindsley, of . Clarke. For auditor, T. M. Reed, of Thurston. For attor ney general, W. C. Jones, of Spokane. For superintendent of public instruc tionvR. B. Bryon, ,of Chehalis. For commissioner ol public lands, W. T. Forest, of Lewis. For supreme judges, R. O. Dunbar, of Klickitat; Theodore L. Stiles, of Pierce; John P. Hoyt, of King; T. J. Anders, of 'W alla Walla; Elmore Scott, of Garfield. RED UCIJfG THE SURPL US- Within the last month the United States treasury has poured $14,000, 000 of its surplus coin out in the pur chase of bonds, while some of this amount was premium paid out for the Bonds. It was not so high but that a Strger saving in interest accrued from the purchase. This is one of the sensible ways for reducing tfie surplus, and the adminis tration are making the most of it. Of course no large amount of bonds can be called in at cne time for that would tend to create an artificial value upon them, but whenever the treasury de partment finds that it can gather in some millions with gain to the govern ment it is doing so. The country will not fail to observe the difference in the methods of the last and the present administration in this matter of the buying of bonds. TO DEM A A D KJfO WLEDGE Patrons of every kind of business have a right to demand that business men use means convenient to such patrons to inform them of what is for tale. We have solicited advertise ments enough to know that quite often business men would advertise largely, says a writer, if they were not too lazy mentally (and know it too) to work their advertising space and get the legitimate benefits. A hundred dollar advertisement well attended to will make a diijerence of from $1,000 to $2,000 in the gross receipts of a concern doing say $10,000 worth of business a year. In many places of 3,000 inhabitants there are merchants doing double this amount of business in the time. But with the average mercantile profit of twenty-five per ent a difference of only $400 in the j;ross receipts, would return the $100 to the advertiser's pocket. So that it is clearly Only sl'ghtly a matter of dollars and cents paid the newspaper that raisea a wall between two that should come together, but rather a mental laziness that beclouds the brain of many otherwise oapable business pian, and instead of keeping even with the times, or a little ahead, they merely drift along, sometimes pretty close to the rear. THE PUBLIC RECORDS. T. C. Shaw, judge of Marion county, has issued the following order: In the matter of the examination of the public records of Marion county, and the making of copies of the same. On this day it , appearing to the court that there are copies of public records of Marion county, Oregon, be ing made in violation of section 279, page 499, Hill's Code, by persons not parties at interest on the matter sought to be examined; it is therefore ordered by the court, that the clerk and re corder of Marion county be directed to furnish copies of their respective records duly certified, to parties de siring the game, and that no parlies be allowed to examine said records who are not parties at interest or properly appointed attorneys . for the same, and, further, it is ordered that the custodian of the court house be required to notify the parties nsing the court room of the court as an office, to vacate the same." In commenting on the above a Salem paper says: "Now this iaises a very fine point. County courts in other states have made attempts to prevent "abstract companies from taking copies of the public records but they have not yet made the thing stick, where the matter was contested. It is the opinion of the writer that the Marion county court has exceeded its authority that an abstractor has as much right in the court house working on the public records, as the court or the offi cers have; though of course, no one has the right to establish his - office in the court house, without the consent of the authorities. But as a matter of public policy alone, abstract com panies should not be interfered with, so long as they pursue their work with in the proper bounds. If they have been indiscreet in any way, they should be censured and warned to desist; but you can't keep them from making copies of the public records." UNPARALLELED RECORD. ' The Chicago Tribune says that the Pacific coast may well claim the dis tinction of being the lurid section of the United States in 1889. The en tire losses by large conflagrations in this country since the first of January last amount to $61,305,000, of which large sum California and Washington territory alone contribute $30,300,000, or nearly one-half. The items in California are as follows: February 21, Guerneville, $300,000; June 25, Benicia, $225,000; July 2, Durango, $300,000; July 7, Bakersfield, $1,250, 000; July 12, Fresno, $200,000; Aug ust 20, Truckee, $75,000; August 25, Port Costa, $600,000. Washington has five large fires to its credit, footing up $27,350,000, as fol lows: April 19, Cheney, $250,000; June 6, Seattle, $15,000,000; June 22, Vancouver, $100,000; July 5, Ellens burg, $2,000,000; August 5, Spokane Falls, $10,000,000. . Then comes the fire at the little town of Liukville- in this state last Friday, which destroyed nearly $200, 000 worth of property. In these fires the business interests of each of the twelve towns were sub stantially wiped out. Such a destruc tion as this is almost unparalleled in the record of fires in the country and pens up a most suggestive field for investigation for the insurance com-, panies. Telegram. OVER NIAGRA HALLS. Niagara, Sept 7. Steve Brodie, the bridge jumper,' went over the Horseshoe falls this morning in a rub ber suit. He was picked up below the falls in an unconscious condition, and taken to Clifton. He recovered con sciousness not long after, and an ex amination showed that he is not seri ously injured. - Brodie's leap was made just after day-break. He took' the precaution to pad his body heavily with cotton fifty-two inches around the waist and seventy-five inches around the chest. Over this he placed a rubber suit, and the body was protected by two steel bands. He shot over the center of Horseshoe falls, and disappeared for two minutes, when he came to view and was rescutd. .". In describing the experience, Brodie says that after he entered the river he weakened and would have given any. thing in the world if he. could have reached the shore. He attempted to reach the shore by using his paddles, when the swift current swept him back and turned his feet toward the brink of the cataract. When he sw that it was im possible to get out, he felt the same as a AH that was. to meet his death.' Just as he came to the brink of the falls, he became unconscious through fright. r V PHILOMATH COLLEGE. - Eds. Gazette:- - As there is a mistaken idea us to the school affairs at this place, it is proper that a statement of the facts in the case be presented to the public The present distraction grows out of a separation in the church, caused by an attempt ol one party in the church to force upon the other party what was thought to be an unconstitu tional measure. This disagreement gives rise to two parties, "Liberals,' and "Radicals," the Liberals claiming to be the true church by reason of the great number of ministers and laymen who hold that the general conference of the church is superior to the con stitution of the church, while the other party claims the right to the original named "United Brethren in Christ," because they continue to hold the faith and constitution upon which the church was founded. . The present and only trouble is the right to the property belonging to the church. The general property is be ing held by the Liberals but the local property is held by the party which happens to have the majority or . hold the keys. This creafes great trouble. The courts will determine the tenure of property. A test case has been be gun at Dayton, Ohio. " Of the 850 members of the church in the Oregon conference, 700 to 800 are opposed to the changing of the discipline contrary to the constitution. This conference has held Philomath college under its control since its founding. Its chosen representatives are an incorporated board of trustees who are the legal custodians of the property of the college. This board has had full control of the property and have not been disturbed in the ex ercise of the power delegated to - them by the conference, until the' 17th of July, when a Liberal bishop and three ministers and two lay delegates, who turned "Liberal" not long before their coming, came to Philomath and held, what they called, the Oregon annual conference. These parties1 assun.eJ the light to expell, without cause or trial, a number of the legally constitu ted trustees and proceeded to fill the vacancies, thus created, with liberals. By this unjust legislation they secured a quorum and proceeded to transact business in the name of Philomath college. The former tiustees, . who held all the deeds, mortgages, bonds, and funds of the college refused to turn oyer said deeds, mortgaged, bonds and funds to his regular successor who was duly elected in the regular annual meeting of the trustees in June, nearly a month before the setting of this newly constituted board. This new; board have secured the property of the col lege, announced school for this year, to begin one week earlier than the time fixed by the board at the close of the last college year.' Hence two school, have been announced. With these facts before them, the old board is determined to press its claim for the management and control of Philomath college. To this end an injunction has been served upon those who have thus intruded upon the corporate l ights of the trustees of Philomath college. The case will be tried in November School will open Sept 18th, as di rected by the board, and previously an nounced. The advanced ' students of last year will be present to enter on the first day. Let all the friends of the school extend this notice and thus cor rect the statement that the president of last year will not teach in Philomath this year. Should the Liberals secure a counter injunction, we will not suffer any great inconvenience, as we have a suitable building rented for the year. So that in any event we will go forward with the regular courses in the several de partments of Philomath college. J. C. Keezel. SULLIVAN FOR CONGRESS. New York, Sept. 7. The Sun this morning publishes a letter from John L. Sullivan, in which he announces his intention of running for congress on the democratic ticket It is " his am bition to represent a Boston district.

Sullivan does'not doubt his qualifications, as he says, in conclusion, that he wUl have no trouble in getting a" hearing in con gress or in making congressmen listen to what he says..

SURPRISE PARTY. " About p. m. last Tuesday evening a number of young people, fifteen in all, gathered at the residence of Mrs. Hitchens. preparatory to starting out for a drive in the country. The ladies of the party ap peared to be as. happy as canary buds. 00 a bright olear morning in June, when nature seemed its loveliest. Soori the driver shouted "all aboard." As the seating ca pacity of the vehicle was rather limited a few had to sit '(aud they did not object very seriously) on some other lady's er gentle man's lap. However the m ljority were deprived of this pleasure. Now all were bent on having a good time. Whether we had, will leave the reader to judge. The following were the party: Mrs. Nellie Keesee, Miss Carl Hitchens, Miss Minnie Uren, Miss Mand Hoffman, Miss Sarah Jacobs, Miss Kate Thompson, Miss Mattio Burnett; B. W. Johnson, EL F. Beach, Ed Crystal, Lake Dorris, Janies Smith, Law rence Helm, H. J. Korthauer, W. H. Mai hony. At precisely 8 p. m. we arrived at our destiuation, the farm house of , Wm. Knotts. Heie Mr. H. Keesee and his sister Lizzie are also stopping. Miss Lizzie greeted us with open arms, and was very much sur prised indeed, which we intended she should be. After Miss Keesee had seated every one according to her own taste, the follow ing programme was rendered: Miss Maud Hoffman, instrumental sojo; Miss Carl Hitchens, vocal solo; Miss Sarah Jacobs, instrumental solo; Miss Maud Hoffman, recitation. Mr. S. had found his way into the kitchen and 1 o.v appeared in the room, where all were sealed, with a whole apple pie; which was mashed as flat as a pancake by Miss B. who accidently sat down on it, while on our way out to-the farm. Mr. S. now began eating the mashed pie iu real earnest with a large table spoon. Also upon this auspi cious occasion some of K's best candy was distributed. Mr. K. never forgets to pro cure a supply before starting out on such an excursion. After the sweets, delicious re freshments were served, to which all did more than justice. . On account of the late ness of the hour and Miss K. having suffi ciently recovered from the surprise, that she was considered out of danger, the party wended their way homeward. On the way home the ladies made pets of Mr. C. and Mr. D. All were more than pleased with the excursion and each hoped that more such might take place. . A lyttle grene apple hung 113'e on a bough, It riaegcld & bobbed iu the breeze. A badd h ttell boy came along, but somehow Hee failed to look up in the trees. Now, wasn't hys heedlessnesse crewelly wrong As naughty as naughty can be? This poem, you gee, might have beon twice as long Hadd he topt & lookt up iu that tree. MOTHERS!
