THE COEVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, JULY IT, 1891. Highest of ali in Leavening Power. ABSOWTEOt PURS. THE RICHEST MAN IN AMERICA. How He Is Viewed Abroad The Vain Quest of a British Lion-Seeker. We felt a craving: yearning, a gnawing to see and touch and speak with the richest man in America; to stare at his silver statues and his car pets interwoven with threads of gold; and we took passage for New York in the Brixtonian. As we landed on the quay an ex cited bjrstander took us by the button hole and drew us feverishly aside. "See that homely-looking man way long there, passin' under the elevator, stranger?" he whispered hurriedly, and with ill-suppressed emotion; "wall, then, you see the richest man in Ameri ca! Came over twelve years since from lown Kansas wa-, wha. he was raised; hadn't a nickel; struck in a notion for a corner in baked beans, and raked in $10,000,000 in nine weeks, and eats ter rapin tarts fried in humming-birds1 fat to every meal!" We had found him, then! Breath less with excitement we followed him along the quay and streets, observing him attentively. He had a wooden leg and one button off the back of his coat, a large mole on the back edge of his right ear, and a gray felt hat with a green lining. He entered a dining saloon, and we eagerly took a seat op posite to h:m; he had one wall eye and one bloodshot one, seven front teeth out, and a black and yellow necktie. Presently he engaged our attention by excitedly kicking us under the table. ' "See that stout man coasting around the iee-bucket?" he asked, breath lessly. "Whaat? Well, you take it from me that's the richest man in Amurriker. bar none. Started nine years ago as assistant odd job hand to a toothpick sorter down Five Points, and struck twenty thousand million dollars in seven weeks, and cats gold dust sauce with his truillud ostrich every breakfast!" TiVe had found him then! We burst ay from the diuing-saloou, and rushed after the party indicated. He had lost both ears from frost-bite, and had one shoulder four indies higher than the other, and a green cutaway coat patched with sacking. lie halt not gone three blocks when he turned suddenly in the utmost excitement and gripped us by the arm. ."See that fence-rail of a crittur with the respirator stauuin' by the lire alarm?" he asked. "You bet that's just the richest man in Aniurracky, so he is, boss! Went down 'Frisco "way, without a rag on his back six j-ea'rs come next independence, and banked $30,000,000,000 in five weeks. Sleeps in a bedstead cut out of a single dia mond and sends his boots to be heeled wrapped in $1,000,000 bills." We thought we couldn't "follow that man; he had a hare-lip, and pants made out of old carpet; but we aban doned him, and 'inquired of a hotel clerk who was the best authority on the subject of the ri best man in America. The clerk told us to go to the editor of the Spread Eagle, in 979th street, over the .Naphtha drink-ing-saloon. "We hear," we said, "that you, sir, are an authority in the matter of the richest man in America?" "I'll tell you about him right away," said the editor. "I'll give you the outlines of nim; and then you can buy a file of the special editions of the Spread Eagle, which have three col umns devoted to him daily. The inch est man in America, sir, is Groulter Q. Vanboom, who set out from Grub squash Cit3r, Kas., with 5 cents sewn in the heel of his boots, and coffered forty thousand million dollars in three weeks. He was the man that grassed Elisha J. Vennerhezzet over the White Daylight Cherub's Blush Silver Syndi cate boom, down Grogg's country, California, when Elisha was prospect ing way down there, and Elisha is now the richest man in America. It was he who came the mean thing upon Chaldea V. Bloobder about the cotton oil scare you've heard tell about ChaldeaV. Bloobder, the richest man in America? Why, it was about that man that Silas J. Seeker, the richest man in America, used to say " Then we left, and slowly cooled down toward the richest man in Ameri ca. Then we took on tracking down the tallest thing in railway swindles and the quickest-grown out west city, and we are on the track of nine of each of them. From London Fun. James Addington, of East Aurora, N. Y., has a meerschaum pipe that is probably the finest in the country, for it is valued at $500. The pipe is thir teen inches in length from the bowl to the tip of the mouthpiece, and is an ex quisite piece of handsome carving. It took the workman three years to com plete the task of making it. FVThe following frank statement from J. E. Hare, of Trenton, Texas, will be of interest to many of our citezena. "My little boy was very bad off for two months'witU diar rhoea. We used various medicines, also call ed in two Doctors, but nothing done him any good until we used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea lleineilv, which gave immediate relief and soon cured him. I con sider it the best medicine made and can con scientiously reccommend it to all who need a diarrhoea or colic medicine." For sale by T. Graham, druggist. $500 REWARD. We will giye 500 for a washing that wc cannot wash as clean as can be washed in one-fourth the time that is required by the old washboard plan. Eugene Bond & Co.

To begin with, the habitation of the homesteader is either a dugout or a house built of squares of sod taken from the prairie Nebraska or Kansas brick, as they are facetiously termed. The dugout consists of a hole dug in the side of a canon or any sort of a depression on the prairie which will serve as a wind-break. This hole is roofed across, about on a level with the prairie, wi h inch boards, and these are covered with sod. A foot or so of stove-pipe protruding from the roof is the sole indication of a human, habitation. One room generally serve all the. purposes of the homesteader and his family. If he prospers for s. season, he adds to the front of his abode by erecting walls of sod on the side and putting in a new frout.the old one serving as a partition between the two rooms. This is considered a com modious dwelling. After riding over a quarter section looking for an owner, espying such an abode, and guiding your team carefully down a break-neck descent to the front door, would it sur prise you, upon entering this hole in the ground, to find, for instance, a modern organ with an imposing cathe dral back towering high in one corner of the room? But this is no cause for astonishment very frequently organs and ornate designs in furniture are to be found in tho dugouts. Or, if the lady of the house should invite you to remain for the meeting of the literary club there in the evening, would you stare at that? Not at all. Literary clubs, which the members ride all the way from live to twenty miles to at tend, and where they discuss every thing from the latest political problem to tho most abstruse point in meta physics, are quite the regular thing with our homesteaders. But to behold this life so full of paradoxes in the heisjht of its incoiiirruousness- vou should be a spectator in the dugout when a neighborhood dance is in' full blast. The earthen walls hare been skilfully tapestried for the occasion with calico, and when the fan begins the clay floor speedily responds to the capering of the many twinkling feet, and there arises a cloud of dust that would tille an Indian. But, bless j'ou, they don't miud a bit of dust. A pol ished floor and the most perfect system of ventilation attainable could not add to their enjoyment. The homesteaders are very honest. You can leave a house unlocked at all times and your stores are perfectly safe with the exception of what liquor you may have on liana for medicinal purposes. In other words, the home steader will steal whisky evciy- time. As a class they are neighborly, kind to one in distress, and exceedingly hos pitable. But it must not be supposed that all homesteaders live in dugouts or sleep six or seven in a room; such experienc es attach to the first year or two of frontier life more tha'nto any later pe riod. Many sightly, commodious, and comfortable sod houses have been built. The walls are usually two feet in thickness, the roof shingled, doors and windows set into the walls, and the house plastered inside, sometimes outside, altogether making a very neat and desirable residence. These 'struc tures too, are free from tho annoyan ces of dugouts, in which are found all manner of insects and rodents. Occa sionally a rattlesnake will burrow through the earthen sides, andcoil himself snugly in the bedclothes, where you will tind him on a cool morning. Such intruders are rare, but there are some people who strenuously object to even rare Visits of this sort; such are usually energetic enough to get out of the old house and into a new one be fore spending many months in an abode so uncomfortably near to na ture's heart. Frank H. Spearman, in Harper's Magazine. Our Eyes are Close Together. The effort of the war department to secure a field glass for the service of greater power than the one they now use has discovered the fact that the eyes of the average American are closer together than those of men in foreign countries. The double glass, known as the field glass, now used is weaker than that used in the armies of Europe. It is only from five to six powers entirely too weak for the pur pose. The only glass they can get of sufficient power is a single spy-glass, which is defective in that it tloes not take in a broad enough field. The best military glass in use is' that with which the German army is supplied. An at tempt was made to adopt them by the war department, but it was found that the eyes of the glasses were so far apart that they could not be used by Americans. The department is study ins now to overcome this difficulty. Pittsburg Dispatch. Deafness Among White Animals. Why is it, I wonder, that white ani mals are so often deaf? Tho white English terrier is almost alwa3Ts so, and the white English bull terrier is very frequently afflicted with this de-" feet.' 1 am told by those who are skilled in'white cats that they, too, are apt to have the same infirmity, and I have heard, though I can not cite my authority on the spot, that a white goat is even more deaf to reason and dis course than other animals of the same species but of positive color. So far as I know white horses have the usual sense of hearing, though investigation might prove that they were deficient in this respect Boston Post. Esthetic Chicago. Chicago, notwithstanding its pork.is a city of considerable culture. Its pa pers lauL'h at the idea of esthetic Chi cago, and when anything is said about the culture of the city the contrast is always drawn between hogs and art. It has, however, 200 resident artists, and its Academy of Fine Arts is self supporting and is attended yearly by between 400 and 500 pupils." It gives art exhibitions each fall, and at the loan exhibitions a number of line pic tures of the city are brought forth. It is no wonder, however, that Chicago has many line pictures.' It is full of millionaires, and the millionaire of to day, whether he makes his money out of pork or politics, or gets it by inheri tance, straightway starts off to Europe and buys the prettiest things he can find. The Americans are the best buy ers of the world to-day, and they pay higher prices, and, as "a rule, demand good work. They want the finest of houses, and some of these Chicago mil lionaires' palaces would open the ej'es of the Princes across the water. Frank Carpenter's Chicago Letter. New Wrinkle in Picture Frames. The new picture frames of oak or chest nut shaded by the rubbing in of umber from light at the inside to dark at the outer edge are the latest fad in their line. They are especially effective when used around a tinted print of a shade nearly matching the. edge of the frame. It is predicted, however, that they will soon become too common and go out of fashion. Some dealers in New- York won't put such frames on pictures sold by them at all, claiming that the style violates artistic taste. At one dealer's a still more striking frame is having a run of popularity. It is of broad oak with real bars half an inch thick. I colored to look like iron, set across it from side to side. Imitation hinges on one side and a real-looking padlock on the other increase the resemblance to the barred door of a cage. With a - picture of the head of a lion or other beast behind it the effect is startling, , if not strictly artistic. Kew York Sun. , The Kind of Candidate They Wanted. ! An old settler tells this story about New Mexican politics: When Fran cisco Manzauares was running against Tranquilano Lunda for delegate to Congress some years ago I happened to be present at a meeting in Silver . City, where Luna delivered a political harangue in which he compared his immaculate honesty to the alleged cor rupt methods of Manzanares. "Fellow-citizens," he said, "I do not come among j-ou to buy your votes. I want them to be given to me honestly. I am not like my opponent, whose loaded wagons, tilled with goods ot all kinds to be given for your votes, incumber every trail and road in the Southwest." He did not get further in his speech; the crowd yelled themselves hoarse with cries of "Viva Mauzanares." He was the kind of delegate they wanted. A Dressmaker's Tuck. A smart dressmaker not only learns to round a bust, but she can so deftly pad the sleeves that when the wrist is seen it seems only the slender termina tion of a plump arm. The gown of a thin girl in New York, one who has the reputation of being a singularly good lijnirc, suggests a quilt heavily wadded ! more than anything else. Back, hips, j sleeves, and bust are all the result of clever workmanship. And it is so clever that tailor-made gowns are defiantly worn by this girl, and the most critical clubmen find no Haw in the outlines of her figure. Philadelphia Times. SCHOOL PICNIC. The closing exercises of the Bllefountain and Alpine schools, taught by T. H. Gragg aul Miss Mary Newton, were held at ;the Bellfountaiu camp ground, Saturday, June 27th. . The four hours programme was delivered from r. very beautifully decorated stage, aud the scholars handled their essays, declama tions, tableaux, and dialogues in a manlier which well repaid them and their teachers for tho energy aud patience with which they had pursued their preparations. One scene which especially deserves mention was the tableau, "Rock of Agee," prepared by Miss Newton, in which a pretty little girl kneeled clinging to a cross about which was entwiued a beautiful wreath cf bridal roses while behind, the scenes a chorus of sweetest voices sung softly "Rotk of Ages." The Alsea band was present aud its mem bers merit compliments, not for their ex cellent music alone, but also for their gen teel and orderly deportment. Miss Ethel Starr executed "Fort Thomas March" ou the organ very prettily. Mr. Homer Woodcock favored the audi ence with two nice pieces upon his guitar. The vocal music, for. wnich this part of the county is sometimes praised, was not any below par on that day. Hear the close of the afternoon session, Hon. E. H. Belknap delivered one of his masterly and thrilling addresses. The day was a success throughout, and the crowd of people assembled awakened happy memories of the good old campmeet ingtimes. Monkoe. Mouroe, Or., June 30, 1891. - Consumption Cured.
