The recent speech of Emperor William
upon the educational avatem Laa had a
marked effect upon school methods in Oer
manv. The achool reform committee has
roted to Hnbtitute modern for ancient lan
guages in all lower classes in places where
there are only gymnasia, also to make such
chanizea in the present system of rentschnlen
and high middle-class schools as will enable
the courae to be continned in the npper
realichtilen. In Huniburg the town council
decided to establish a higher middle-class
school In acoord with the emperor's ideas.
Recently the Gdibd had a mention of the
immense yield of 00,8.12 pounds of potatoes
from a single acre of land in Del Norte, Col
orado, and called opon any other soction of
the country to excel it if possible, and here
la the response. In Johnson county, Wy
oming, the past season, there has been
raised from a single acre, 071 bushels of po
tatoes equal to 08,410 pounds. For this
production, the American Agricnltnrist
awarded a large cash prize of several hun
dred dollars.
An Independence difpatuh of Deo. Mlh

and a dangerous wound in his right sido,
severing the inlerostiitl artery and penetrat

The total amount of unsatisfied mortgages
in Linn county, as revealed by figures just
completed by the county clerk Is as follows:
On real propertv, f 1,810,071; on porsonul
property, 1U0,07'J. The total value of taxa
ble ptopertv, as per assessment rolls of 18'JO,
is f (1,504.023, which shows about one-sixtb
' of the real estate under mortgngo.
There are about 200 newspapers in Ore
gon, and of these something over oue-balf
advocate the repeal of the mortgign tax law.
From this we conclude that there are more
than one hundred peoplo in Oregon who
want that law repealed. Just how the rest
of the population stand on this subject we
are not advised, and have uo means oi kuow

A friend of Harrison says the question of
his being a candidate for re nomluation will
depend upon the action of the senate at this

never will be elected.
The Chirago Tribune calls those Repub

A Freight Train Wrecked.
Albany Democrat, Dec. 17.
Word was brought to Albany last even ins
about 4:30 o'clock that the south IkhiuJ
freight train had gone through the trestle at
the Jewish cemetery, two miles north of Al
bany. A reporter immediately went to the
scene of the wreck aud learned tho following
particulars: The truin, under the charge of
loudiictor Jynan, Jack McUuade, euuiueer,
and Mr. Fixh, fireman, waa two hours late
and was going at a rapid ratot wbeu it struck
a couple of torpedoes and the engineer saw
the sigual flag, just north of the trestle.
The trestle was being repaired under charge
of Mr. Robiuson, who stated that it would
nave been iu a ante conditiou iu a very few
minutes. Kiiriuiing what waa the trouble.
and seeing he could not stop, the engineer
put on ateaiu aud tried to carry bis train
across; but the trestle went down as the en
gine and tender nearly reached the south
aide. Three Hat cara loaded with lumber and
rails dropped with the trestle about tweutv
feet and all were broken about as due as
kindling wood. The eugine rested on the
rails on a slight slaut, and is uninjured.
The fireman jumped without injury; but the
engineer remaiueu at tlie tnrotile. No one,
very fortunately, was hurt at all, thouch had
theeugine dropped seventy-five feet north the
engineer would In all probability bave been
killed. The flag was placed lOOu feet uorth
of the liridge and the torpedoes about 4(HJ
feet further, the bridge carpenter says the
customary distance. Tuesday uight'r south
bound overland did not arrive here until
Wednesday at 4 p. ni., and the local arrived
about the same hour.

Recognizing tho signs of the times, and
paying heed thereto, we must oomo to the
conclusion, that we are fast drifting to a Cash
Rasis'in tho Retailing of Merchandise.
Cash Down, means small profits. Long
Time, large profits. At the end of 12 months
the small profits on Cash Bales, makes a
much better showing for the merchant, and
the Customer has probably saved many more
dollars than lie is aware, of, and to which he
is rightly entitled to when buying for Cash.
Viewing these facts in their proper light, I
propose from this date on to make all my
goods with two selling prioss, one for cash and
one for credit. Not that I don't wish to ac
commodate my old customers who are not
always prepared to pay down for everything,
for on tho contrary I sha.ll always give them
terms and prices as favorable as they are ablo
to obtain from anyone else and give them as
well as to others the benefit of any cash pur
chase they wish to make. For, bo it under
stood, my cash price does not mean higher
profits for credit than formerly but great re
duction for prompt payments.
