E. At tho Odd Fellows temple, Wednes day night, a goodly number of the Elka held a sociable to which several of the outside friends were invited, amongst them ye re porter. This entertainment consisted of social converse, while listening to music and witnessing the unique mode of repleni atius the exchecker. The conversation was pleasant, the music gcod and tho refreshments ample, and of a quality that an epicure would delight in. The master of ceremonies was the high muc-a-muc of the lodge before whose august person the little Elks were ever and anon arraigned for some, mis demeanor, such as unelkly conduct. As a sample of theso offenses, one (oor Elk whose duty it had been to prepare the entertainment for this occasion, had fur nished some cheese and crackers. Upon complaint of an Elk, hu was arraigned before the high muc-a-muc, charged with the offense that the cheese was not un to the a'.andard, that is that tho odor of the cheese was not stronger and more pungent than that of limburgcr. Tho high muc a-muc ordered a sample of the cheese tj be produced. It was forthwith laid before him. He placed it to his olfactories. He elevated bis proboscis, at an angle of 45 degrees, and gasped for breath. Aa aoon as he ro gained consciousness, ho shrieked out, 'I fine brother John, 5 centa." The dl relect brother paid his fine with alac rity, and stepped aside for another brother to stand trembling before tho high muc-a-muc 011 a like charge of con duct uiiDCComing good Elks. Your reporter went to this cntortain mcnt expecting to witness Bachanahan orgies, but went away happily dis apiwintcd at 10:30, whllo tho feasting waa at noon-tido height.

New York, April 20 On tho Pacific ccast the undesirable immigrant is the Chinaman, in New York city to the lab oring cbss of Americans, the Italians form Ihe undesirable immigrant. They are fast filling the different positions of the the laboring American citizen. All excavating, street-grading, gardening, hed-carrying, etc , is done almost en tirely by Italians. Not understanding the language, they hire their jobs, giving a portion of their wages to the bosses, and as New York city ha3 bteo run by bossism so long, this kind of work flourishes in almost every department of labor. The Italian can live, it necessary, from the refuse of hotels, aud sleep in a cellar, looking as if he never had a bath from the day of his birth, and still flourish. Such treatment would kill an American, who has lieen raised like a human being. Consequently he cannot compete with the Italian. The committee of the restriction league visited Ellis island lately, and found that out of the flood of Italians coming here from January till March 31, 7005 of them admitted they could not read nor writo in their own language. Five hundred of last batch are waiting to be returned on the steamer. They are penniless, and a majority of them are members of that cut throat secret society, the Madia, thus disqualifying them from becoming citi zens. Dr. Senner expects 19 steamers here this week, with lS.OCO immigrants, G000 of whom are Italians. There are places in this city where tens of thousands of Italians are huddled together. They are tbo most filthy creatures I ever put eyes ou. A China man or a siwash of our western country is arrayed in white linen, when com pared with these. As Dr. Parkhurst has done a good work clearing tho political atmosphoro of tho city, could he not succeed in establishing public bathing ing places and run these folks through at least once a month? It would purify the breathing atmosphere of the city. The Convention Building.

The National Electrical Exposition Opened. New Youk, May 3. Tomonow night, Governor M rton will optn tho national exposition of e'ectrical appliance in the Industrial Aits building in thin city. Elaborate preparations have b. eii made for the ovent, and it ia expected tint the attendance will be large and include boiuo of the most distinguished electric ians in thia country. The convention ia that of the National Electric Light Association, to which delegates have been Bent representing more than 10,000 electric light plants in the United States, whose aggregate capi tal ia in excea 3 of $75,000,000. The In dustrial Arts building lias been the ecene of great activity during the past 10 days and nights, and an enormous force of electricians and mechanics have Leen at work. The principal feature of the opening exercises will be the turning ou ol a cur rent of electricity generated by the wa ters of the Niagara river, in the great power-house of the Niagara Power Com pany, which current of electricity will be transmitted oyer an ordinary telegraph wire of the Western Union Telegraph Company. The insulation of this line is such that no considerable amount of electrical energy for power purposes can be transmitted, but by the use of the retently invented two-phase Tesla sys tem, enough energy will be transmitted to establish beyond question, it is claimed, the feasibility cf long distance electric power transmission upon a com mercial basis. This line wKl be 462 iniic3 in length, the longest line hereto fore established from the falls. The governor will use upon this occasion the gold key with which President Cleveland put in motion the wheels of industry at the world, s fair. Governor Morton will also, at the declaration that the exposition is open discharge tour pieces of artillery, one stationed in the public square, in San branciseo, one in Augusta, .ue., one in front of the public building at St. Paul, aud another in the public park iu New Orleans. This discharge U also to be accomplished by a current of electricity generated in Niagara and transmitted over the telegraph lines of the Postal Telegraph-Cable Company. It is with the sanction of the secretary of war that the artillery service will be brought in requisition. Ihe current of electricity which is transmitted from Niagara will bo used in putting in motion a model of the Niagara power plant, recently con structed by a syndicate at a cost of up wards of f3,000,000. This plant con sists of a tunnel SO00 feet in length, en tered by a wheel pit ISO feet in depth, at the bottom of which aru mammoth tur bine wheels, operating a shaft on top of which are immense electrical generators, with a capacity of 5000 horce-power, Ihe total weight of the turbine wheels, shaft and generators is upward of 100 tons. This model, which ia shown and operated with the Niagara current, is a cross-section view of the tunnel, wheel pit and macninery, and also shows a Bee tion of the city of Niagara Falls, with the course of the river and American falls, the island and the Canadian frontier. Surrounding this model will be a series of telephones, which will be connected with a receiver placed in Victoria Park, on the Canadian side of the Niagara river, All present, as they witness the movement of the uiacrincry by the cur rent of Niagara, can hear distinctly the roar of the cataract. There w ill also be exhibited and oper ated a miniature section of the Erie canal, showing the cableway system of electrical canal beat propulsion recently adopted by the state of New York, and soon to be pat in operation upon the Erie Canal. Flowing upon this minia ture canal will be a fleet of model canal boats of recent design, propelled by the electrical motar which travels upon the canal by means of the current. Another feature of unusual iutereat will bt the closing of a circuit around the world, by which a cable message will be sent by Chauncy M. DepeAv, over the cables to Lisbon, through the Mediterranean and Suez canal, and the Red sea to Aden, thence to C.'ylon and Australia, returning by the way of the Cape of Good Hope, the African coast, thu Brazil cable, the land line to the City ot Mexico, ihence by way of San Francisco to New lork. Tins message Dr. Depow will send from a table, which will be placed iu a gallery of the expo sition buildiug. It will be addressed aud received by Mr. Edward D. Adams, president of the Niagara Power Com pany, whoso reply will be transmitted to and received by Dr. Depow, who will folio a- with a unci nuurcss upon me electric era. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report Royal Baking ftowder ABSOIMEIV PURE A Card. To the voters and taxpayers of Doug las county, Sirs : As we are nominated for legislative honors by the people's paity, it is a pleasure as well as a duty to let the votera know how we stand rela tive to the issues directly effecting your intereet. If elected we pledge ourselves to work for the following measures : 1. Free coinage of silver at the ratio of 1G to 1, the constitutional money and the money of our fathers. We will support only a silver can didate for U. S. Senator. 3. We will work for the re-enactment f the mortgage tax law under exemption from tax of honest indebtedness where a corresponding credit ia shown. 4. United States senators by direct yote of people. . Initiative and referendum, making the people independent mastera of the legislature and the legislature a depend enl servant of tbo people. G. Abolishment of Oregon National Guard costing J50.000, and railroad com' mission 25,000 to the taxpayers yearly Several other commissions should be abolished. We think that oar friends will agree with us when we say that the employing one hundred and eighty clerks to do the work of thirty is an outrage on the people and a disgrace to the state of Oregon. This outrageous extravagance must be paid with 40-cent wheat, 6-cent wool and 3 cent prunes. . We recognize the great combina tions of capital that are here; they are a normal form of business enterprise of the day. They have great advantages that can effect creat benefits for society. So ciety, therefore, ought not to destroy them. But as they have also great power for evil that threatens society, we should be wise enough and manly enough to control them. Therefore, since our railroad rornorations own one-sixth of the entire property of the country, it is suggestive that we act quickly along the line of reform. Respectfully, C. S, Jacksos, J. F. Gazely, Jb. Jeitha Grkex. A BOQK OF CHRONICLES. Two Lives Saved, Mrs. Phtebe Thomas, of Junction City III., was told by her doctors she had Con sumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Tho3. Eggers, 139 Florida St.. San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching Con sumption, tried without result every thing else then bought one bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful, It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in Coughs and Colds. Free trial bottles at A. C. Mars ters' Drue Store. Regular size 50c. and $1.00. The vagaries of politics are surprising, The unexpected is often in evidence, The smoke having cleared away we can calmly view the situation, and estimate its effect. Is the result less real in it: dissapoiutment or not? I a change al ways reform? Was the will of the people subserved? These are questions sug nested to us by the unfortunate turn in the political wheel, whereby Binger Her mann was sold out bv a political trick We do not advocate life tenure to office, and telieve all honorable means may be used to advance one's own, or a friend's interest; but there should be strong reasons why a faithful public servant, one of ripe experience in the routine of official life, of prestige, and in favor with his fellow congressman, especially the Pacific Coast delegation, of sound political principles, in harmony with tho party that has honored him, and a staunch friend of the working man, should be ousted from a position of im portance, for one untried. Is there no reward fcr honesty of purpose and ht- ness for place? For the indefatigable worker, who wins his ends by a dogged determination and perseverance that stops at no effort and knows no reiusal. Spilt milk may not be gathered, regrets are useless, but a lesson may be learned that should be heeded, that honesty, canabihtv and energy shoulil loe re warded. R. E chapter 11. And bo it happened that the fight against the A. P. A's waxed hotter and hotter, in the mind of Charlie the Hush ite, and he epake many wonderful words unto the people. Verily to his words there waa no end, neither waa there any sense thereunto. So Charlie the Hushite lashed him self into a fury, (for he had no opposi tion ; be waa fighting an imaginary foe), and he cried unto the people, Baying: Although the A. P. A's have plunged the country into ruin and desolation yet they amount to nothing whatever, they are not worth a passing thought. Yet Charlie the Hushite lays awake nights tudying np some scheme by which he can down the A. P. A'e. So the Hushite cried unto the people with a loud voice and said : Come up and help us. Come up and help us sweep this organization from off the face of the earth, for verily they are the scum thereof; but they would not. They only held their peace and smiled, knowing that the Hushite had a buzz ing in bis head. Now Charlie the Hushite in his des peration turned his vindictiveness to wards the Christian people of the city in which he lived and even yented his spleen upon preachers, of the gospel. Yea upon men the Iatchet of what slices the Hushite is unworthy to unloose. Now Charlie the Hushite felt that something was wrong and that he needed some help to multiply words. So the Hushite looked about for a proper person to assist him in misrepresenting things unto the people. And oue said nnto the Hushite. Is not Fred a proper person for this business? And the Hushite answered and said ; Yea verily ; just the man I want at this time. Oh ! ye gods, and little fishes, wont Fred and I make 'em hum. Where doelh he now dwell? and the man answered and said : Behold, Fred now dwelleth in a city on the plains of the Willamette. Send and fetch him, and verily fhou shalt live to a ripe old age and sbalt prosper and thy last days shall be filled with happiness peace and plenty. So a runner was Bent after Fred, the scribe, and after many days of weary waiting on the part of Charlie the Hush ite, Fred the scribe, appeared; serene and placid. And it came to pass that when Charlie the Hushite saw him he ran unto him and tell upon him and embraced him with much joy saying : Thou hast done well in that thou hast come nnto me, Oh my friend. And he wept for joy. And the Hushite opened his mouth and spake again unto Fred the scribe and said: Now we will sweep 'em from the face of the earth, for they are not fit to live therein. And Fred the scribe spake and said, Amen, let it be. And so Fred the scribe joined affinity with Charlie the Hushite and hath be longed to the tribe of democracy. But they both forgot the traditions of their tribe and its Iaw-3 and the desiies of its elders. And Fred the scribe and Charlie the Hushite wandered off after strange and heathen gods, and bowed down beforo them and served them. Thus Charlie the Hushite and Fred the 6cribe waged a meaningless war, but all the same it would uot go. The people knew them .both you know, for be it remembered that Fred the scribe had afore liyed in our midst.
