BUT 15f A LITTLK GAMft OF SKSATORIAL PRAW OOLFH BEATS TUEM WITH TBEEKACEB. Semtor Bowro af -Colorado is cen- w-' rally conceded to hatha finest poker player in Washington. He is also" very fond of coaching neophytes in the science. A short, tim ago Senator K'nriBt of West Virginia conceived a' longing to learn the'game about which he bad beard ao re'eb. Of course he applied .to Iiorfv.for- information. TFeffitter wMfellghtedT Fdrleverir day ba gave "Kenna lessons in ton room of the committee on enrolled bills, of which Bowen ia chairman. The West Virginian seemed to make rapid advancement, and the Colorado senator began to boast of the profi ciency of his upil. It was "noticed, too, that wbtla both were in lie senate chamber tbey usually occupied adjoin iug chairs and were often iu eager con verse. This caused some comment, as the senators are from widely separated sections of the country, belong to op posing jarties. and are on no com mines together. It was generally un dersiood, though, that poker was the subject ef conversation, bines Bowen Lad been boasting of Kenna'a new ac quirrment. One night recently a friendly party was gathered in Bowen's room at Ue-Jligijs bouse. Kenna was there, and so was Dolph, of Ore gon, whose kkilt-at cards is recognized both here and at Lome. During the conversation Bowen started off on tbe old theme, and lauded Knna's pro gteis uodcrhia tutorship. Dolph tug gested tbat br would give Kenna a chance to show his talent on a 50 limit game. Eenna looked dubious, Bowen patted hitn on the shoulder and told him to go on. Tbe game began aith ltowen leaning over bis pupil's chair to offer encouragement. It was stipulated beforehand by'DoIjli, how ever, that bo suggestions should come from tlie CuloUdo man; "Dolph put up his dollar ante and Kenna dealt The la'.ter held a pair of queens, a king, a ten, and a seven. With all the eagerness of neoph).e He cams in, snd laying bid pair aside, discarded the others. At this oin- a couple of Western netrbers came in, and it was some minutes before the game pro ceeded. Finally Kenna dealt the cardi . In the draw he got two queens and an ace. Bowen could hardly restrain his delight, and it was evident from bis expression that he longed to Tell to bis pupil: ' Go it my boy, for all you are worth!' Kenna did not seem to be terpleascd, however. As beginner; generally do, be laid his second pair aolde from tho first, and putting his elbows on the tabic; aa sited the bet ting. Dolph, of course, thought his opponent tad two pairs, as be is a sharp observer during the game. Hating three aces himself ba went about the betting in a very confident way. Put ting $20 on the table he looked hard at Bowen to "detect any signals that might pars between the teacher and pupil. Bowen kept the agreement honestly, but his face was' led with suppressed emotion and his fingers seemed to sink into the back of the e'lair. Kenna, without looking at bis carle, folded his arms and considered tbe advisability of coming in. Finally, remembering what bis teacher bad told him of Dolph'a bluffing scheme, be-planked down the 20 and called. ''Ibree aces," said Dolph, showing bis hand. "Beats me," replied Kenna, ''I've only got two pairs." At this Bowen could restrain him .elf no longer but yelled: "What in are you talking about, Keuna Look at jour hand." "I have looked at it,' said Kenna, quietly. "I had one pair of queens and I drew another pair. Two pair?, and tbe other card is a dace." At this there was ild laughter from all the lookers on except Bowen, who sunk into a chair with a despair ing look at his promising pupil. Ken na "caught on" after a hile, but it was too late. He had thrown up his band and the pot went to his opponent. He laughed heartily himself -when he saw the point, and confessed tbat l.e bad a few things to learn about poker vet. Bjwen has given up his pupil, and frwely expresses tha opinion ihiv a man who doesn't know tbat four of a kjntT beau three aces can never carry fbe Democratic pa'ty ihroogh the next coneres.ional campaign. Waab ingtoa Special ia St.Paal "Glob." The Union County Mur der. -t About sight weeks ago, as the citirens of Indian valley, Union County Or., were working the road, during the dinner hour Wm. Bennett, a wealthy farmer who lires about four miles ea't of Summer ille, and Orlando Legore bad soium difficulty, resulting in abusive language being used by both parties, and finally Legore kick ed Bennett in tba mouth, looiening or kicking out aomb of' his teeth. Th ere wanotlilBgjltftMrosJarrSr done afthe time. L'gore seemed- to be applauded for what he did, while Bennett, who is a quarrelsome person, was condemned for using language un becoming a gentleman. Most of bis neighbors consider it good enough for htm. But little was thought ef the affair, and Legore supposed it had all blown over. For some time after the trouble be shunned Bennett, not desir ing a rbnewal of tbe affair, and know ing that Bennett was quarrelsome, he had not o en passed his bouse. Ben nett, it seems, made some threat, but as he frequently made threats ao one supposed he would attempt 'o carry them out. On Saturday July 3, Legore atten dfi) tho celebration at Elgin, and from there went to visit bis mother, who live? about half a mile from Brnnett's place, each houxe bning in plain view of the other. He speut Sunday, tbe 4th with his mother, and on ..Mondiy, the 5th, accompanied by his wile and four children, and entirely unarmed he started home. Fully conscious that there was no danger, and happily Jurrcunded, lie approached Bennett's "ouse, and when the near corner of the barn and about ssyenty five yards from the front of the lions, the atten tion of hotli Mr. and Mrs. Legore was attracted to something behind them, and on looking around they saw Ben nett coming from the fence corner and from a place of voncealuipnt with his gun in band and attempt to shoot Lgore. Legore had a child in hia arms, his wife nras sitting at his side with a child in her arms and his 14 year old daughter sat behind bim so tbat there were. little chance given to lire without hitting some one else. Mrs. Lgorn ciuIit the lines and told her husband to sl'p down under" tho sa, and then began begging Bsnnett no' toMiout. Aa Legore slipped down off l he wagon seat be turned with bis face toward Bennett, who fired, and tbe ball took effect in the left shoulder and ranged downward through the left lung and out near center of tbe heart. Bennett followed the wagon six'.y to seventy-five yards before he got a a chance to shoot. The gun ated was a 50-ca'ibre needle gun. After doing the shooting be went to bia work as unconcerned as though nothing had happened. Tba shooting occun-d about 11 o'clock a. M. and Legore died about 7 o'clock p. x Ben nett was arres'ed ant lodgej in jail. Two attempts have bten made tu lynch him, but both have failed. It is fear ed other attempts will be mads to avenge tbe murder. C. D Graham successfully showed the feat of swimming through the whirl kxI rapid at Niagra Falls in which Capt. Webb lost bis life. Graham is a cooper and constructed the barrel in which he made the voyage' It was made of inch and a quarter thick oak staves, and shaped like a bioy. It contained sand ballast so fixed as to keep the side of the barrel Graham faced uppermost. Graham hung ia a sort of a hammock madeJike a suit of clothes and held onto two handles fixed at the side. Ho coulJ live half an hour without requiring fresh air, and by the time tbe air was exhausted he was Itryond the whirlpool and could pull out the plug from the nan bole and get in a supply of fresh air .A small boat pulled the cas out into the river. It moved along slowly at first, but when the mad, and boiling current struck it, it bounded up and down several time, turning complete somer saults, and was twirled round like a top. When the cask reached the whirlpool it struck it on tbe strong side and the current carried it swift ly through, reaching tbe water beyond in safety. From her the cask float ed right side up, and all dangir was paskesl. The caxk was pickea up at Lewinton, five miles hlow, and Gra ham crawled out unit jo red. Railroad Items. Tha railroad headquartes will be moved asvta milts north of Haxel Creek te-day ar to-morrow, very near Bailey's Lewtr Soda Springs, and in a few days mora the headquarters will be between Castle Bock and Uncle Dick's Soda Springs in this county. Moat of our subscribers at railroad front have ordered their papers sent te Berryvale, as the nearest post of fice'ta tha new beadquanera to be e bsstrJ3aUey;lMruayor-io-r morrow. It seems to be ths general beliet that a better grade of gradual ascent to Siskiyou mountain can ba gained by circling around the Humbug rang west of Yreka, and croising tbe Klamath on a high bridge above Ai. demou's ferry, striking a high ridge south ef Henley, on opposite side of river, to reach Siskiyou mountain at a high altitude, requiring but a short tunnel through tbat mountain. That this route, or even a route along the hillside just east of town to take a similar course to Klamath river, would make the beat and most direct railroad to Siskiyou mountain, is not doubted in the least, but the objection urged by railroad surveyors is, that it iaa rough country between here and Klamath to build through, requiring an immense amount of money. Of course wa do not pretend to be a judge, bat if most cf the road can be made along the side bills, each work is not very expensive. Yreka is the natural junction for all the roids from dfferrnt localities, and would be the most dtsirabte point for a supplying depot, to accommodate Scott Valley, Salmon river, Klamath river, in fact all tbecoantry east and west of the railroad while Yreka basin is alto (he moat sheltered section from any of th'n heavy storm which sweep over tbe eourUrJ, . esjJesialiy in winter. "Yre ka Journal." During tha last presidential cam paign tbe Democratic party were ttj prolific of promises, and reforms ofeery kind were mapped out if only a "change" was made in the adminis tration. Tbe surplus revenue would not be boarded while men all overtLe the country were out of employment and really in nerd of the necrsaries of 'ife. It was heralded forth by politc al speakers that the money in the trea sury would be sent into circulation in order to relieve the pressure of hard timer; and the land grants which had kept the settlers from obtaining po- seasions of the public domsin, would be forfeited. In short, these verbose elocutioniats pictured out a delightful millennium, which would begin with the innaugaration of Grover Cleve land. Over a year has elapsed, and we have had nearly a full session of Congress since that time, and what in the shape of reform has been accom plished! Tha surplus is Jtill in the treasury, and tbe pressure of hard tiaies has become worse than ever, if possible. Men, women, and children begging for bread can be found in ev ery eitt ; laborers have been '.brownout of employment on accontit of factories stopping work; the business of the country perahztd on accoant of strikes, and bo ractieable or available .ffjrt made by Democrats to'anloose tbe grasp of the great corporations from tbe public domain. No party could bsVH done worse, and etery Bepubli can administration has done hotter. Tha people hava had a fair test of llje reform principles of tbe Democratic tarty, and they realize now tbat they consist of very thin air, and are not effectual in accomplishing the promised result. By the time of holding the aational convention in 1888, if tbe Re publican party does not commit some great blunder and ia placing in nomina tions ome such man as Blaine, tbey will have "clear sailing" to the Whits House. . James G. Blairtemt the bead of the ticket all fractional bitterness would be healed, and the old party would march forward to an easy vic tory. The Postmaster appointed at De Kalb, Illinois, has the misfortune to be a fool, and not a fool for luck either. H prints a newspaper, and in its col. umns coarsely rejoiced at Grants death. When he got before the Sen ate' for confirmation, this article was read, and Senator Maxy, of Texas, moved ta reject htm, and carried unan- -ttmotssly.

It is getting to be a trifle tiresome. Mrs. Clevihnd js a person of no particular consequence. She seems to be a vain young woman who accepted Mr. Cleveland because he was President, just as Miss Gardi ner accepted Mr. Tyler because he was President.
