day. just at we weie siuiuir down te

The case against them wai clear, and

but as I told Uietn, I had no lime to
indulge my feelings; I muni do my

uravely; and next inontin, huio

seen hanging from tho branches of a
tree close to the high roa l. It was
a terrible example and produced the
desired effect; there was no more plun

took counsel with I)i Hume, and us
three men had just died in the hospi

poor fellow's liven and only wanted
the example, nnd as the example hud
tho effect, my augor soon died oi l,

Water as Fuel.

Dr. A. F. J nuings, who during
the past six years has been io the

in this city, at the house of his broth
er, No GUT Cues Avenue, lor a Miort
time past, arid left for Chicago last
evening, his mission being the de
velopment of an enterprise which if
it proves successful, will be one ol
the greatest inventions of the ago.
Duriug the past ten or twelve years
Dr. Jennings has been consinnllv
studying the ld problem of utilizing
water as fuel. How nuurlv ncconi
plisbed is the effort the Dr. does not
now care to stale, except to say that
the demonstrations he has already
made have been satisfactory to
that extent that capitalists are satis,
tied that water cau be usod as fu. l,
aue have contributed means to per
feet the invention. It is the old, old
theory," said the doctor to tho re
porter of the Free Press, "of reduc
ing water to its original element
and then uniting them in such a way
that they will burn, only I am confi
dent thai my work, which Logins
where all previous efforts stopped,

you will, if you live, hear ot water lie

T. T. Glenn, a highly respected
and well to do young farmer living

Glenn felled another tree across the

entirely on tho animal. It was, ho

stopping at the hotel for refreshment.
While the rider went inside tho hotel
the horse used to bo supplied

Jacksonville Times: As yet the
farmer has accomplished little plow
ing and less seeding, so that agricul
turally speaking, southern Oregon is
behind. Unfavorable- weather, both in
the autumn and up to the present
(lino, has delayed farming nncrations;
and unless a change tor the better
hould take place soon crops will be
late aud perhaps short. Lute, rams
may assist in increasing the yield,
but tho acreage will be less than an
ticipated last tall in almost anyevenU
There is ntt a farmer in tho valley
who has moro than fairly begun
putting in bis crop, whilo many have
not even commenced seeding. As
this season it somewhat advaacod
already, it will bo easily seen that
the prospects for large crops arc
none too favorable, though no fear
of a total failure may be entertained
by any means.
Dalles Inland Empire : The mor
