SATURDAY NIGHT'S flEDiTATION Another busy week is ended: An- other sir day's work is done, and what has been accomplished? Have I any- thine to show that any good has been ccomplished? Ilavo I made a single singlo soul happier by a kind word or generous act? Have I relieved onoeoul ot a burden ho was struggling to throw off? Can I lay one hand on my heart and answer in the affirmative the ques tion eyer occurring to ' a thoughtful mind: Have I done ray known duty to mysell and brother man ; and have I taken one step on the road of reform, am I better today after a whole week's labor than on Monday morning? Did I speak kindly to Brother Jones, when we met Tuesday? Did I pour a flood of benevolent feelings upon the bereft heart of Neighbor Drown? Ilavo I taken thought for the morrow? Ah! have I done any of these things? If I have I am advancing and the world baft been beneCttad on my account. But if not, I havo been negligent, have buried my talents and idled away my timo, and am a profitless cumberer of the moral vinyard. In taking a retrospectiyo view of the week's labor I perqeive I have neglected somo, at least I was too discourteous to one, too abrupt with another , I wa3 Iod illiberal with a thirJ. In inv ignorance incautiously offended a brother asking for advice. I showed a want of confi dence in a friend. I gave alms to a needy soul bnt gave him to understand ho was under great obligations to rae for my as sistance. I innocently but unguardedly told a friend aspiring to position, that I did not believo he would succeed. That giieved him. He' turned away sorrowful. Ho considered me not his friend. I tried to correct my mistake by promising to help him any way I could. But he shook his head and despondingly sighed, "It is no use for rac lo try. I thought yon were my friend, but," and again he heaved a sigh and walked away, his countenance fallen. I perceived I had wounded his feeiings. I was sorry but I saw I had been too incautious. I had cot flattered bim. I bad not learned how to mnko a man happy today when I knew in all reason ho was on the road to defeat while entertaining high hope3 of success. meditated over these things and invol untarily cried: "I made a brother mis erable today while entertaining a desire to avoid a greater misery tomorrow, when he would, as I foresaw, fail in his pur pose. I was forced to the conclusion that it is best to not always speak your real thoughts to a friend unless they are in accord with his wishes. I meditated over these things and said in my heart, 'Really, what good have I done"? I bare given pain instead ot pleasure to a friend. I have lest a friend without gain to m j self or benefit to him. And ) eatd to myself, verily 1 will never again dissuade an aspirant for office or from a scheme for making money. I will bold my peace. If he is my friend I will vote tor mm or lend bim money lor specula tion (if I have it by having good Eccurity given me) then sell the note at a dis count and let him and the transferred creditor fight it ont. These things occu pied my silent meditations last Saturday night. Kays. His Last Plug. The editor ot the Melbourne, Australia Speculator is tho Rev. Lorimer Fison, a Methodist minister, with somo unique traits ot character, lie edit: tbe p3per with bis coat and boots off and a big pipe in his mouth. He says that just beforo his ordination he was sent for by the board of examiners. "Mr. Fison," said ono of the board, "yonr papers are excellent, but thero la ono thing wo object to." Fison asked what it was. "Yon nro addicted to tho eyil habit of smoking." Fison explained that he saw no evil in it: bat. taking. a large plug from bis pocket, said: 'In deference to your opinion, gentle men, I promise you tins: As soon as i have smoked the plug I hold in my hand I will cease smoking forever." They wero satisfied and be was or dained tbe next day. But, as ho rifills his pipe, he chuckles and tells you : "I'yo kept my word, I've got that very plug yet." Told by Bob Burdette. A very homely man I once know had tho prettiest little daughter in tho coun ty. One day tho little girl, after looking at her father for some time, turned to her mother and asked : "Mamma, did God make papa?" "Why, yes, of course," her mother an swercd. "And he made me too, didn't he?" "Yes, dear, certainly." "Mamma, said the child, after a few minutes reflection, "God is doing better work now than ho used to, isn't be?" In the Circuit Court.

Mr. Lamb was born iu Wayne county, Indiana on the 2d day of De cember, 1825. About 1S4Q, filled with tho venturesome epirlt characteristic of the times, to seek his fortune in the gold fields of the golden west, ho braved the dangers and Buffered the hardships of a voyage across the plains, coming to California, "but remained only a short time, when ho returned to tho cast, and on April 18, 1855, in Leo county, Iowa, ho was married to Miss Anna L. Slaley, who survives him to mourn his loss. In 1S64, when our nation was in the midst of the civil war, he again sought a home mid peace in tho far west, and came to Oregon, eettling in Washington county, where he lived until 1SG9, when ha removed to tho beautiful and fertile Yoncalla valley, where he has ever since lived, ilia family consisted of seven children, five daughter?, three of whom are living, and the two sons both living. Mrs. N' A. Ambrose is a resident of Portland. Mrs. W. T. Woodsen, Yoncalla, Mrs. L: H. Seige, Jefferson, Georgo Lamb, Riverton and William Lamb of Jefferson, are his sur viflng children. Thus closes an eventful, quiet, hu mane and charitable life. He was be loved by all. with not an enemy living. His life was one of uprightness, his character was unsullied, his name was untarnished. Truly his name indicated the simplicity and innocence of his life. A. Lamb is emblematical of all that is pure, simple, just, honorable and charit able. He lived and died a believer in the noble principles of Odd Fellowship, of which he was an old member. He was buried today, (Friday), l.y Moun tain Lolge, No. 103, I. 0. O.

TELEGRAPH NEWS Through Archbishop Ireland. St. Louis, June 24. It was stated last night that it was through the influence of Archbishop Ireland that a plank prc- bosed by the American Protective Asso ciation was not adopted as part of tho platform of the republican national con vention in this city. The word was given out that Colonel H. Sellers, pres ident of the National Council of Patriotic Associations of tbe United States, was at work to get a plank into the platform indorsing the A. P. A. On the very day Colonel Sellers sent a copy of what he wanted embodied in tbe platform to Mr. Foraker, chairman of the committee of tho committee on resolutions, the follow ing teleeram was received by Thomas . Carter, chairman of tho republican na tional committee, from Archbishop Ire land: 'St. Paul, June 17. To the Hon. Thomas N. Carter, National Committee man The clause in the proposed plat form opposing the uso cf public money for sectarian purposes and union of church and state is unnecessary and un called-for. It is urged by the A. P. A. Its adoption will bo taken as a conces sion to them, will awaken religions ani mosity in f the country and do ruuih harm. Tho republican party should not lower itself to recognize, directly or indi rectly, the A. P. A. I hope the clause or anything like it will not bo adopted. Jon.v Ireland." Colonul Sellers, in an interview, said that he gave a copy cf the plank of the patriotic societies to 31 r. Foraker and also to Senator Gear, of Iowa. He was told by the latter that the paragraph de claring against the appropriation of money from tbe United States treasury for sectarian purposes would be incor porated, and that the commitee had taken favorable action upon it. Later iu the day (Wednesday), he was sur prised to learn from a member of the ommittee that its action bad been re considered, and that there would be nothing in the platform in that regard. All this is now explained by the tele gram trom the archuiihop. lho dis patch was referred by Charier to Ed ward Lauterhacb. nf pw York. r"- the big four from that state, and he, with National Committeeman Kerens, ot this city, went lx fore the committee and succeeded in knocking out all refer ence to the church. Canadian Elections. Winnipeg, June 25.' The defeat of the Tupper government, whose platform was tbe re-establishment of Catholic paro chial schools iu Manitoba, has come. The wildest enthusiasm prevailed in western Canada, and no such wild scenes haye ever been witnessed here. While the liberals were sanguine of elect ing sufficient members of the Dominion parliament to block the government school msasure, they never dared to hope to completely oust Tapper govern ment as they have done. The liberals, for the first time in nearly 20 years, have won and are overjoyed at Laurier's suc cess, while conservatives, to whom tne disaster was altogether unexpected, are in a dazed condition. The liberal organ now emphatically declares that Manitoba's national school system is absolutely safe from interfer ence. However, conservatives are quite as positive that now that Lanrier, who is a Frenchman and a Roman Catholic, his come into power, bo will demand that Catholic schools be restored. There will be a great deal of anxiety until it is discovered what Laurier's policy in this respect will be. All are agreed, how' ever, that one of his first move3 will be to treat with Washington for reciprocity cf trade between Canada and tho states, and the result of tho liberal victory in Canada will be fraught with the most important results to the business inter ests of Uncle Sam. Carter Working for Teller. Chicago, June 24. Senator Thomas Carter, of Montana, arrived in tho city yesterday, and left in the evening for Washington. He held a long consulta tion with Senator Lee Mantle, which is said to have dealt with the prospects of securing an indorsement of Senator Tel ler's candidacy at the approaching demo cratic convention. Senator Carter said in case the democrats put up a man whom the silver people could conscient iously support, Senator Teller would probably withdraw. He declined to S3y what course ho would follow, remarking that events would shape that Cloudburst In Ohio. Maiiietta, O., Juno 20 A cloudburst took place near here last night, the water covered a wide area of territory and was tho mo3t destructive ever known here. Houses were swept away, stock drowned and many places narrowly cs caped death. In somo streams tho water roso 20 feet in ten minutes. The Hood camo almost as suddenly as did the Johnstown flood. Crops nro ruined ou the Littlo Muskingum for twenty miles and on many small tributaries of tho Ohio above here. Dead. Ciiic.uio. Juno 25. Ex-United States Senator Lyman Trumbull died at o'clock this morning at his home in this city. Ho had been ill a long time, but rallied at intervals, causing hope that ho iniizbt eventually recover. His last re lapse, however, settled his fate in the mind of his physicians, and the end has been expected daily for the past week. Is of Small Consequence. Cleveland, June 20. Maifc Hanna dees not think the silver question is a matter of great consequence to the work ingmen and is quoted in an interview as follows : "Tho thousands of workingmen who are employed in the manufactories of this country -do not care an-iots-aboutl this question of free silver. They say they do not, and it is apparent that what the industrial classes of America want is better times, a dawn of prosperity and some assurance that they will ere long receive better wages or at least a stipend equal to that which they were getting be foro the financial depression which fol lowed the democratic victory of 1892. "I am convinced of the correctness of what I am saying because I have talked with my men on this subject, I haye 5000 to G00O men in my employ, and I know by personal investigation that the men who are working iu the shops and the mines care little or nothing about the whole financial question. They rec ognize the fact that it is one of the issues of the campaign, but that it is about as far as their interest goes. It is the far mers and the debtor class who are inter ested in the free-silyer question. The workingmen want prosperity, and they realize that this much-desired condition can only came as a result of the remedial measures of a protective tariff. "However, the nomination of McKin ley on a geld platform is going to stimu late industry. It will bring back to this country much of the capital which was withdrawn by foreign investors, and its effect will be felt in an equal degree among the local capitalists. Why, I mytelf known of enterprises involving an investment of millions of dollars who3o consummation was purposely de layed until tbe projectors could ascertain the character of the declarations in the St. Louis platform." Wife-Murderer Hanged. Maesiified, Or., I one 26. Carl Au brecht, the wife-murderer, was hanged lilUhfMlilvanl. .at fnm .-.ni.. past 10 o clock today. Life was pro nounced extinct a few seconds otter the drop fell. The execution was the Brat Jhat ever took place in this city, and it was wit nessed by those legally entitled to be present. Aubrecht retained bis nerve to the last. He left a word ot good-by to his friends. The crime for which he paid the capi tal penalty was the murder of his wife last January. The woman supported ber husband by taking in washing. When she failed to give thebrnte money he shot her to death. The couple had lived unlnppilv for years in South Marshfield. Aubrecht was 47 years of age. Revolt in Armenia. (Constantinople, June 20. uenial is given by the sublime porte to the em bassy statement that tbe Turkish troops fired upon Armenian prisoners. Com plete accord exists between the repre sentativea of the great powers on the subject of securing the appointment of a Christian governor for Crete and the fulfillment of the treaty of Aleppo. Each ambassador will send an individual note to this effect. Another sanguinary outbreak has oc curred at Van and 400 are reported to havo been killed. The Persians are pro moting the disturbances and fomenting the revolt throughout .Armenia. The Druses have now received Bedouin sup port and are driving out the Turks. Dip lomatic press is being brought to bear on the porte, increasing tho chances of peace. ihe iollowiug statement has been re ceived from Captain Vialar: 'I have witnessed hideous enormities Armenian girls and women were pub licly sold at auction. A mother threw her two daughters into a well before my eves to save them from the Turks. Evi dences of Turkish official complicity hav been obtained by me. The foreign press should be ashamed to remain indiffer ent." Captain Vialar deplores tbe humiliat ing role accepted by France. The porte continues to hang Armenians publicly It i3 understood that Russia will prevent the publication of Yialar's report. A Calf With Two Mouths. There is a calf at Mosier, tho property of Mrs. J. H. Mosier, that ranks as one of the leading freaks of nature, says The Dalles Times-Mountainear. The calf is perfectly formed iu all parts except that it has two mouths. Tho upper part of the head is natural, with ono mouth where it should .ordinarily be, and un derneath this is a growth about six inches long and four inches iu diameter, at tho extremity of which is a well-de veloped mouth with teeth, a well-formed lower jaw aud tongue. The calf take3 its nourishment through the upper mouth, bat being prevented by the ex tra appendage from eating grass or any other solid food, is gradually starving. It is about three mouths old, and so long as milk furnished eufliciunt nourish ment it continued to thrive, but now, that it requires something moio sub stantial, it is losing flesh and will soon dio from starvation. $6.QO !

Friday afternoon about three o'clock the Umpqua river claimed its annual victim in the person of Fen Adams, son of Mrs. Serena Adams, who In company with his con8in, Stonewall Sutherlin, and Ed. Earle was in bathing near the cut" just below town. Sutherlin swam out in the river a short distance and was ncched on mrt- A,imj fMTiT-n.i and when about twenty or thirty feet from the thore, called ont that he was "give cut." Earle called to him to turn and swim down stream. A few Eeconds later he threw up his hands and disap peared from sight. Assistance was socn summoned and an attempt was made to recover the body, bnt without avail. Cash Trask, who boa rescued from drowning half a dozen or mere parsons near the same spot, repeatedly diyed for the body, but owing to the roiled state of the water could not find it. Other parlis3 tried, and with like result.- Later giant powder was exploded in the hole where the drowning occurred and for a considerable distance down stream, but so far without result. The iiyer bottom is very uneven, and though the average depth is not groat'here are many deep holes and creviies among the rocks, making the task of recovering the body very difficult. A reward ot $100 has teen oiler ed for the recovery of the body. The Soldier's Home Hospital. The hospital at the Soldier's Home is sufficiently advanced in construction to give one an idea of its appearance when completed in September. The building, which has been sided and roof-boarded, is in the form of a cross, whose apex faces the road. The roof of the central structure rises several feet above that of the wings on each tiJe. The general dimensions are 100 by 50 feet, and two Btories above the roomy brick basement, in which will be located the kitchen, dining rcorn, laundry, storerooms, etc. The walls will consist of planed and matched flooring covered by tarred pa per and rustic. Within the walls will be lathed and plastered. A part ot the windows will consist cf stained glass. No provision has been made by the ar chitect, a Portlander, for the use of the upper story, and it is evident therefore, it it were necessary to accommodate more than 30 patients for which it is intended, to be prepared under present arrange ments, that the number of beds could be doubled. The cost of the builaing will be oyer $5000, and about $2000 in addition will be expended to furnish it. Tbe hospital stands in tbe center of a weedy field, several acres in extent to the south of tho Home, the most con spicuous objects in which, are piles o! stumps- The landscape gardner will obliterate these incongruities in the sweet bye and bye. The Fire. At 10 o'clock last night an alarm of fire was rung by the city fire alarm beli. Mrs. Teeny's house on tbe corner of Lane mid Kane streets was on fire, originating from an explosion of a coal oil lamp left on the sittingroom table while the fam ily weio sitting outside on the porch. TLe firemen were promptly on hand but the fire had spreid so rapidly that the small babcock fire extinguishers (the only means of fighting the flames) could not bo used, and tho building with nearly all the con tents was destroyed. Loss about $1500; insured in the L'h(unix of London for $1000. Altgeld pardoned the ana-chists, ho draws the line at Grover. bnt Every factory bell rings for McKin e and prosperity.
