Oregon Penitentiary Statistics.
Supt. O. S. Downing, of the Oregon state
penitentiary, has submitted bis annual report
to the legiidature. In this report be deals
with many items never heretofore oonaidered
in tb. reports in this institution. The pris
on reoordi contain much information that is
thought to be of interest.
During the two yesrs ending with Decem
ber, 1890, there were, inclusive, at the peni
tentiary G03 prisonors. Among them are
found names ending with every letter in the
alphabet, excepting U, X and Z. One name
begins with Y, two with Q, on. with V aud
four with Y.
No previous report gave the number of
men at the prison from each county. This
time Mr. Downing will give the roster by
counties of all prisoners detained there since
Jan. 1, 1889. From Multnomah there were
200, from Wasco 25, Umatilla 31, Clatsop
20, Baker, 23, Linn 13, - Marion
25, Clackamas 13, Lane 1C, Douglas 17,
Jackson 15, Josephine 3, Yamhill 0, Well
ington 10, Polk 3, Benton 0, Coos 7, Klam
ath 5, Lake 6, Crook 8, Morrow 9, Union 19,
Wallowa 3, Columbia 6, Gilliam 4, Grant 10,
Harney 1, Malheur 2; U. 8. priaoners, 31;
total, C03.
Th ages of tbe prisoners affords interest
ing study aud gives cause for congratulation
upon tbe fact that a state reform school,
where erring youths may be reclaimed and
inatruoltd in tbe way they should go, Is so
nearly ready' for occupancy. Of the 003
prisoners, 10 were 15 yesrs of age or under;
80 over 15 and under 20; 282 over 20 aud
nnder 30; 130 over 30 and under 40; 53 over
40 and nnder 60; 27 over 50 and nnilur CO;
12 over GO and uudor 70; 2 over 70; and one
over 80. Two of tbe boys that entered the
prison during (hat time were under the age
of 13. The average ace is 27.
Nearly every state and territory In th.
Union finds representation within the prison
walls. The stales and territories unrepre
sented are: Florida, Utah, New Mexico,
New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Car
olina, Vermont, West Virginia, 8outh Da
kota, Arizona, and Indian Territory. New
York leads the lint with 67, while Oregon
makes a good second with 02. California
bas 28, Illinois 44, lowit 19, Kentucky 10,
Missouri 25, Ohio 17, Pennsylvania 22.
But few ot th. southern states bave more
than 1 each, and the other states bave each
from 1 to 10.
In nationality 418 of the prisonors there
during the two years were born in the Uuited
States. Of English born there were 21, of
German 31, Austrian 1, Norwegian 1, Irish
18, Portugese 1, Cuban 2, Dane 1, Chinese
48, New Brnnswickers 1, French 6, Italian
3, Swede 6, Bpanlsh 1, Rusiian 6, Canadian
23, Nova Scotian 2, Sootch 4, Belgian 2,
8wiss 3. Australian 3, British Columbian 2.
There are twenty-eight life prisoners,
three of whom are from Marion and six
from Multnomah.
In classification of orim., 314 are for lar-
oeny. For murder In second degree there
are 30, manslaughter 30, burglary 68, rob.
bery 14, rape 20, forgery 17, assault 39, and
other crimes from 1 to 17 each.
Dming tbe two years 150 prisoners were
discharged, and 325 are now confined (here.
Artesian Well of Hot Water.
About three weeks ago tbe Boise Water
oompsny having an option on ten aores of
land a few hundred yards to tbe north and
west of tbe penitentiary, proceeded to link
an artesisn well In tbe bope ot striking hot
water. At announced in tbe Statesman
about a week since a flow of water with a
temperature of 92 degree! was struck at a
depth of eighty feet. The work of sinking
the well was continued through a very bard
rock formation to a depth ot 112 feet, when
a stronger flow was secured with a tempera
ture of 115 degrees. Tbe hot water over
flowed tbe top of the well casing to such an
extent that it became neoessary to tap the
pipe several feet below in order to draw off
Ibis overflow so as not to Interfere
with the drill. The company will continue
to sink tbe well In tbe bope that at
a greater depth a blgber temperature may be
obtained. Tbe ontoome of the experiment
is of course problematical, depending en
tirely on this desired result. Tbe water is
dear but strongly impregnated with sul
phur. Tbe oompsny will sink two more
wells very shortly.
Yakima Ilerald: George Wharton, of
Brown County, tells a blood-curdling make
story. Mrs. Willism Hoxelley, living In a
log cabin, was making soap in tbe back
yard having kissed her sweet little six
month 's baby to sleep in tbe cradle. Pres
ently ths baby screamed, an 1 she rnshed in
and was horror-stricken to find a hideous
blacksntke of enormous size trying to swal
low th. child. It bad engulfed tbe band,
swallowed it np to tbe armpit and was
writhing In its contortions and efforts to
make further progress. Orasping the hid
eous reptile In the middle, it soon relaxed
its hold nd disgorged the child's arm, then
turned ubon its mother. She dashed it to
f . . ....
tb. floor, and in her wild irenzy stampea n
to death. It proved to be of tb. black racer
species, seven feet two iocbes long, and
measuring tlx and one-baif Inches In circum
terence.) Th. babe lived, and the only in
convenience it suffered from its terrible ex"
perienca'wss that its arm and band were
blinterrJ as if scalded in hot water.

McKlnleyisra in New Jersey.
The Naw York World of a recent date bas
a special from Trenton, N. J.,' illustrating
the deceptive nature of tbe arguments for
high protection as exemplified by McKinley
and bis partisans:
The inconsistency ot the protectionist was
never bettor illustrated than it has been here
in New Jersey during the psBt wsek. To
begin with, the pottery manufacturers of
this city reduced wages last week from ten to
forty per cent. Tbey did this in tbe face of
tbe fact that tbe McKinley bill gives the
potter a tariff protection of sixty per cent'
Before the reoent election, tbe manufacturing
potters told all their operatives that a golden
era was awaiting them under the new tariff,
and urged them to support the party that
was going to add to their material prosper
ity. This plea was an old one and waa
pretty generally disregarded by the men,
because they bsd been told the same thing
in 1880, 1884 and 1888, and they bad voted
as they were told in two presidential cam
paigns, only to feel tbe pressure of tbe screws
when tbe elections wsre over.
This year proved no exoeption. In fact,
the increased duty through tbe McKinley
administrative bill on pottery ware bas re
sulted in tbe biggest reduction of wages since
the business became establixhed and threw
off the apparel of an Infant industry. Tbe
McKinley bill bas in reality made a mono
poly of the Trenton pottery trade. A strike
msy bo avoided, but it will only be because
the operatives have no olher course to pur
sue than the scieptauce of the inevitable.
The worker in pottery is a skilled operative
and cau earn nothing to speak of in any
othei line. He bas to lake lower wages or
be eutirely without work.
In Newark another magnificent tariff
olijrot Ibhhou bm linen hUu ly ihf strik or
shut-down iu the Clark thread works. Thene
works have always furuUhed a btantiful
theme for the high tariff orator. Blaine, in
his stumping tour two years ago, nsed the
alleged harmonious relation between the
employers and employed in the thread works
with much effect as an example of tbe pros
perity aud general condition of blessedness
caused by protection. Tbe Clarke bave been
paradud from the one coast to the other as
the embodiment of the beneficent results ot a
high tariff, and a tepublicau congress bas
taken eiipeoial pains to keep up tbe duty on
tbe products of tbe works at Newark and at
Pawtucket and Fall River, B. I.,-yet here
within a fortnight of the holidays, tbe worka
are shut down and nearly 3,000 people are
thrown out of work and peremptorily in
formed that they can return to work or not
as they choose after tbe works are ready to
start np again.
In Peterson, only bait an hour's ride from
Newark, is one of the silk producing centres
of the country. Bilk has received adequate
protection for years, and is today given tbe
benefit of the high tariff. Yet in one week
the wearers in the silk mills of Mediug and
of Francke & Duggan bave struck rather
than submit to a reduction of wages, amount,
ing to from twenty to twenty-five per cent.
Unless the reduction is accepted by tbe
weavers, tbe mills will be closed and tbe
other silk manufacturers of tbe city talk
about taking a similar course, Tbe striker
may yield rather than endure the suffering
sure to be entailed upon them by being out
of work just as winter bas fairly begun.
A Cnre and Remedy for Dlptberia. '
When there is a tendency to any soreness
of the throat take a thin slice of fat pork, or
bacon, stitch it on a strip ot olotb, tie it
over tbe top ot the head, salt and pepper
with black peper, tbe meat well, tben mois

both sides of tbe throat and renew aa often
as tbey become dry, tben put a lump of alum
on the stove or bot shovel and keep it there
until it quits boiling or becomes dry, tben
pulverize and take some of it and apply to
tbe white or grayish spots if any with th
handle of a teaspoon by pressing the tongue
down with tablespoon handle. Make gar
gle ot weak salt snd water with a few drops
of camphor in it. Gargle often. Give a
physio, also, as soon as possible. I gener
ally use MoLane's pills. But tbe best yon

I send this to the publio with no motive
other than to relieve tbe suffering. I bave
raised a large family and never bad a doc

spots in tbe throat, the gargle heals tb

Lebanon Express: The city election on
Monday last revealed the fact tbat there are
181 voters within the corporate limits. When
the corporation is extended as contemplated,
a conservstive estimate of tbe voters would
be three hundred, and a calculation npon
this basis would give Lebanon a population
of fifteen hundred. The increase of popula
tion has been mostly outside of tbe present
city limits snd yet tbe increase in tbe town
proper bas been seventy per cent, over lss(
year. Lebanon bas mad. a very oreditsble
growth.
.The amount ot wheat reported to be held
in Tacoma is 1,0G2,500 bushels. This is the
largest smouut by 172,000 bushels t ver held
in Taooma since July, 18S8, snd represents,
according to tbe best authority, 60 per cent
ot tbe wheat in tbe state ot Washington.
Tbe trouble now about the movement of
wheat seems to be to get bottoms.
There are only two ships in port availa.
ble for tbe transportation of wheat.
