iMigcno City Guard HA I'UKDAY JSKPTEMBEIt 25 CAL'HKI) BY DKMAND. All ol the sudden silver has ad vanced in pri ;p, from Saturday to Monday having risen 1 2 cents an ouncoin New York, and three fourths pence in London, says The Dalles Times-Mountaineer. The riso in the price of the whito metal is attributed t purchases lor In dia's ucjount and so strong rumors in London that 'ho India council is buying the metal for coinage purposes, witli th) posHib 'ity that the India mints a ro to be re-ocned. The riecisio.i ot the governor of the Hank of Knglund to hold one fifth of in reserve in silver also greatly contribute to influence the market favorably. Here is an examploof the effects demand have upon the price of sil ver. Simply the rumor that the Indian mints miy b opened to tne coinage of silver, whereby a de mand will bo creited, lias stimu lii'ed the markets so that the price has advanced almost two cents an ounce in New York. IT a simple rumor causes such a sudden rise, what would be the effect were the demand really created? What would it he if the d iman 1 for GO, 000,000 ounces a year were created by the opening of American mints to unrestricted coinage of silver? It probably would not go up at once to 11.29, where it wis prior to the adverse legislation of 1873, but it would rapidly advance to the price that would make our silver coins a very solid m ney. It is the lack of demand, the refusal of the powers to recognize silver as a basic money, that keeps it down to the present low level, but with an artificial demand created as there 1b for gold, it would soon line to its former standard. KOBliED OF THEIR Fit t IT. some ii The Koseburg Keview has plain talk about the "commission men who got away with consider able portion of the Oregon fruit crop thii ssason. Itsays: "C li Jeffries & Co do not like tlio Review because it tolls the truth about the way the commis sion mon robbed the fruitgrowers. A great many fakers, small calibre politicians and dishonest schemors do not like this paper but this fact only recommends it to the people whoso patronage and friendship aro worth seeking for. So-called commission men have simply stolen a large part of Oregon's fruit crop again this year, dividing their ill-gotten gains with the railroad companies. From Kiddle comes the nowj that growers will not re alize a cent for their many car loads of fruit hhipptd cast, ami that tho Karl Fruit Company is even drawing on them for mouey lo pay freight and other expenses, From Corvallis, Albany, Eugene and other places comes tho similar reports. It is time these lying, plundering firms were prohibited by law from operating in the state ot Oregou." Tho payrole law passed by the Missouri hcisla'ure went into ctVect lately. It provides that al pers ns under '-!." years of ace, who have been convicted of otl'oiisee rgainst tho law for the first time, inny secure unarrest of judgmeut for two years, condition! d on good behavior. If the perton is guilty of a second offense during the pro- bationery period the first punith ment stands. If, on the contrary his conduct is good, the sentence is n.V)ked anil the court has no fur ther jurisdiction over him. The law is applicable to all cases except murder, treason and highway rob hery. Kx County Treasure Lockwood, of Pacific county, Wash, is one of tho very few "defiulting"' treasur ers who is deserving ot sympathy He has been indicted for larceny aid embezzlement by the grand jury, and has voluntarily sur rendered himself to the authorities. Mr Lockwood is a victim of most unfortunate circumstances. While treasurer of Pacific county hi placed the comity fun is in one of the South Bend banks which failed, and tlitf treasurer su lie red loss along with other depo-itors. While he was morally responsible for the loss of the county funds, it would look unjui-t for him to suffer pun ishment under tlieso circumstances. ROBBERY FKl'STBATED. An Attempt Usde t Eulir V, E. Putin's Store In las Wee Hour This Hoiulutf. Italljr UUf.nl, September Z. Aliout 1 o'clock llil morn I tj a Night watch Oouer put to (IIkIiI a man who was prowling around the rear of F E Dunn's store. The nlghtwatch bad went down back of the stores that front Willamette street from the east, and stood for two or three minutes near the hitching rack around the Kpiare, when he uoticed a man walk down Hie alley and go behind some boxes between Dunn's store and ware house. Heveral timet the mau ventured out aud a he heard footsleiisou Will amette street would go in ltlilcd the boxes only to emerge again as tilings quV.ed down. I'luuliy Croner changed his pcmitlou for one nearer the building keeping a pile of wood between lilm Heiraud the man, and was s-joii din covered by the man .who at once "made tracks." Croner called to the man to stop, but he kept running, no to stop the fleeing man, he tired his revolver, but the man Went faster than ever and C'rouer fired again. The mill con inued his Might northward rout the city jail and through the alley, going out on (Seventh street. The whilom burglar wan probably 3) minutes walking around tho win dow and In tho alley, and his work was so slow that It is reasonable to be lieve he was waiting lor a signal from some partner, which the appearance of Croner made unsafe. There can be no question of the mau's Intention as his shoes were mullled and as a dlsgulxe he wore a scarf over the lower part of his face. Had he made an entrance to the building before discovering the presence ef the nlghtwatch he could have been landed. As it was the vigl lanoe of Mr Croner saved what would in all probability have been a good sized haul. I'uity Items Kept 2J. Iieautlful weather.

'I day's Oregouian: The ser lous shortage lu the lion crop boa caused quite a stld'enlng In prices, and growers who were to unfortunate as to lone half of their crop are now feeling more cheerful over the proiqieet for securing a much better price for what they did save. They are not selling much at preseut, aud a buyer who went through the Nehalem valley, which is one of the smallest and out-of tin-way districts in Oregon, could not secure a pound at Mo. lu the valley It Is report! that a few sales have been n"ile at 13c, but It Is doubtful If many could be secured at that figure, for other reports state that 15o has hceu ofteied.

OCR EDIBLE MUSHROOMS. Tons are Going to Wante Because peopU Iwa't Enow Wnat Tbjr Are. Ijallr Guard September jJ. We clip from the Salem Journal ol yesterday the following, alter having made a few corrections at the suggea tlon of Dr Paiue, who is in the city: "DrDA Paine, superinteudeut of the Oregon Inirnne Asylum, 's an en thusiastic over the Oregon mushrooms. He has made a scientific study of this peculiar vegetable growth and knows the varieties probably as well as anyone In Oregou. Shaking on the subject this morning he said: "'Ills a pliy that so few people know the edible mushrooms and ap preciate their value as food. It Is r well known scientific fact that a pound of mushrooms contain as much nutri tion as a pound ol I eel, Hut on ac count of the reputation of a certain prisonous variety the gnat majority of people are afraid to eat them. At present tons and tons of the choicest variety are golog to waste I was out this morning and gathered a butdiel and a half In a short time. There are In Oregon over a huuderd varieties of edible mushrooms, aud ouly one kind that Is fatally poisonous. 11 can easily be distinguished by its r ot. II springs out of a socket at the bottom. All others have a tapering stem, or only a slight bulb at the bottom. There is a large, pure white variety very plenti ful at present that Is very flue eating. Of course, all kuow the common pink or cream meadow mushrooms are well knowu aud appreciated by a great many people. There lo a lurge mush room, called the shaggv mane, ou bo count of having a mine, that Is very fine and not much used. All mush rooms are very delicate and should be cooked for the table as soon as picked. They soon spoil aud become unfit to eat. Prepared In the right way the Oregon mushroom Is as palatable as oyaiers ana can be cooked lu as many different ways. A very little study of luesuojectiuan encyclopedia or text dooi ou inequesti-in will enable any one to gather them and run no risk whatever In eating them.' " Letter List. An Elegant Line of A W It?

Why should uot every farmer have his name and address p'alnly priuted on leltei heads and euvclopcs? It would not cost more than 12 or f3 a year, aud would lie a great conveni ence to his correspoudeu'.s, aud an iudicatiou of good business methods ou bis part. The need of It is apparent to anyone w ho has eveu a small orres poudeuee. It is surprising the num berof people tliero aie lu the world w ho can write everj thing moderately plain except their ow u names aud that of the town iu which they live. I have had more than the usual amount of trouble from this cause iu the past few mouths, aud many letters have uot U eii answered simply because I ellh er could uot make out the writer's uame, aud so did uot kuow whom to address, or else I could uot determine where to send the letter. As au example, I have ou my desk w bile writing this letter, two letters from ditl'urvut men, both of whoso slg uatures are absolutely Illegible, have submitted these signatures to number of good busiuess uieu and no one has been able to decipher them. How can one answer such letters? It is a common thii g for writers to leave oil their state, but the postmark usu ally selves tills difficult). Sometimes no . A letter was recently received from Hlidgevillo, uo state, aud uo post mark ou the euvelope. The postal guide gives nine towua of this uame lu the 1' nlted States. Where would you scud an answer? Priuted letterheads cost but little more thau plalu paper. When they aie used, theie cau be uo question about the uame aud add ess, and be side this, their use gives the luiprvs aiou that the farmer uiiug them Is more enterprising thau his neighbors a good Impression to make. 2 Its good roan coffee 2.".c One 10 cent pkg Vanity Fair tob.... 05c One 10 cent pkg Hill ltos smoking 05c Ooe 10 ceiit pkg Lottery 05c Good green coffee 15c All Summer Shoes at cost.
