Window glass is a necessity in all northern latitudes, and yet the people of the United States support the policy of a high tariff that prevents compe tition In that necessary article. The duty on window glass was Increased nearly 100 per cent by the passage of the Dingley bill and was intended to be prohibitive of the imj>ortation of glass manufactured in foreign coun tries. Having procured this monopoly of window glass, the combine that con trols the manufacture of it has dou bled the price, and the market is much oversupplied. Instead of reducing the price, the trust shut down the facto rlea, and no window glass has been manufactured by the trust since last spring, and there is still a large stock on hand that is awaiting a market. The glass blowers are therefore idle and, having formed a labor trust of their own to control wages and re strict the number of workingmen and entered into a combination with the window glass trust not to furnish glasu blowers for independent or rival fac tories, they have cut off al) avenue ot employment until the trust can start the fires again. This is protection run mad, to the un doing of the American people. The window glass trust is protected by the tariff of 60 to 100 per cent and is charging double what its product is worth. The labor trust is paid enor mous wages when employed, but that is less than half the time, so the yearly Income of the glass blowers is not more than half what their per diem rate is. They Are Good to Their Mother. The mother of all trusts Is the cus toms tariff bill. It is the government, through its tariff laws, which plunders the people, and the trusts, etc., aro merely the machinery for doing it.— Henry O. Ilavemeyer. President of Su gar Trust, June 14, 1809.

The Iowa Lumber Co. has leased a tract of land lying in the northwestern portion of Medford and belonging to Prof. Narregan and C. W. Palm. !t has also applied to the O. & C. R. R.

Recently he purchased the Reyn olds Springs, which are but a short distance west of his place, and also the right of way, so that he may pipe the water to his house and to several places on the farm. The springs have «strong flow of pure, cold water, and are peren nial, not having failed to flow, even in the driest sea »o ns, since they were dis covered in 1852. The Oregon game law has been very effective this season, so far as the market hunters near the state lino are concerned. There have been none on the Oregon side of Little Klamath Lake, and all the hunters on Tulo Lake are on the other side, thanks to Mont. Hutchinson, deputy game war den. If the California game law was as strictly enforced on that part of Tule Lake that lies in that state as it has bien on the Oregon side this sea son, hunting ducks for the market b.t the wholesale would soon be a thing of the past there. THE cas famine no* existing In Ow. gon has proved quite damaging to the | best interests of the State, and the end . is not in sight by a good deal. Many sawmills in Southern Oregon, as well as tho big sawmills of the Booth-Kelly Lumber Co. and the Pacific limber Co., have been closed for an indefinite period on account of lack of cars for shipping their product. Nearly all the large sawmills aloug the line of rail road in Western Oregon are seriously affected from the same cause. These companies have spent much time and energy in procuring markets for their products, and this work will practically prove valueless hereafter if they cannot; get cars to ship their products. Mills in others states will get the orders that have been heretofore coming to Ore-. gon.

The factor which is overlooked by those who fear the ascendency of any quixotic notion is the existence of the average man. This individual is not a striking personality, but he holds the balance of power. Before any extrava gant idea can establish itself it must convert the average man. He is very susceptible and takes a suggestion so readily that it seems to prophesy the complete overthrow of the existing or der of things. But was ever a conver sion absolute? The best theologians say no. A great deal of the old Adam is always left over. When the average man takes up with a quixotic notion, only so much of it is practically wrought out as be is able to compro hend. The old Adam of common sense continually asserts itself.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be bom afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose.

ANDERSON VS. ADAMS. R. C. Anderson, respondent, vs. J. F. Adams, appellant, from Klamath couuty, H. L. Benson, judge, affirmed! opinion by Chief Justice Moore. This was an action to recover dam ages from an agent for the breach of an agreement made in excess of his authority. The Supreme Court holds, as did the lower court, that “an agent who makes a contract on behalf of his principal in excess of bls au thority is, on the repudiation of the agreement by the principal, personal ly liable thereon, though be made no false representations concerning his authority, and, as he impliedly war ranted that he was empowered to a gke tbe conf erct, the action will te coii'iiued as in contract instead of in toil.” “My wife bad a deep-seatedcough for three years.

Neilon was sheriff of Lake county, and dtfeidants J. Frank), George Jammerthal, A. McCallen and J. E. Bernard were his sureties. Neilon de faulted, and this suit was brought to recover on his < fficlal undertaking, which was executed May 6, 1899. At the trial the jury was instructed that the sureties would be liable for money collected by Neilon before the undertaking was given and still in his hands and that it would be pre sumed that he still bad in his hand- all money collected and not turned over to the county. This presump- ti m, the Jury was told, could be over come only by direct and positive evi- d nee. The Supreme Court holds that the presumption may be over come by either direct or indirect evi dence, and for this error the case is reversed and remanded for new trial.
