Roosevelt to Succed Himself. senator Cullom on Saturday was asked his iewa concerning the prospects of President Roosevelt's nomi nation, and also what, in his judgment, the issues of the next campaign would be? He replied : "As matters now stand, there is no likelihood of opposition among the Republicans to the nomina tion of Mr. Roosevelt. lie will have the support of the delegation from New tatos without dissent. "As for the issues, it is probable that the questions of the tariff and govern ment expenditures will figure largely. The Democrats will clamor for a lower tariff, and also accuse us of extravagance in our distribution of public raqney. "As far as the trutt question is con cerned, that must necessarily ba a growth. In handling this subject we must feel our way, and before we t'ct further we must be sure that we are following a policy of justice toward the tvuMtla TVta t ri a nnaufiAn Ss at Kvil. . x . r pe proposition.- Vo mast go at-ft gradually. We can not with one blow enact a law covering the entire subject. That is impossible, although onr Demo cratic friends hold to the contrary. The subject must be dealt with as a prudent man will deal with his own personal and private business affairs. "I am confident that Congress will act favorably next session on the joint resolution to provide for the complete enactment of the Cuban reciprocity agreement. In the Senate it is probable there will be more or lees talk. The Democrats, I understand, expect to have something to say upon the subject, and incidentally about the tariff. Bat in the end we will sanction the treaty pro poetion. We secured a two-thirds vote in the Senate upon the treaty, and will not encounter any difficulty in securing a majority vote upon .the resolution. I think its success in the House also is as sured." ' Eugene Getting a Hump. The Guard of last Thursday say "With the organization of the Wil lamette Valley Baseball League which was perfected in Eugene last Saturday evening, the "fans" of this city were as sured some good exhibitions of the na tional spurt this coming summer. OCT 1MB rc.vos. To make the league a encce it is necessary to have plentyt of financial backing. Of course it is expected that the gate receipt at the games will pay the expense of the team, but money has to be had with w hich to properly equip a team before the oeasoii opens. With this fact in view, Manager Al. Hampton of the local team, and Otho Roberts started out this morning with a sub scription paper asking the business men to contribute toward the support of the team. 1 hey met with a good degree of success, aud enough was subscribed io the short time they were out to give great encouragement to the enterprise.

But the Ministers Did Not Waltz. The Cumberland Presbyterian divines of Northwest Missouri last week as sembled at Doniphan, Mo., and passed without a dissenting voice, the follow ing resolution: ' "Whereas, As many fathers and mothers do not know the evils of the modern waits, after what we have seen of the waltz, after what we have read of it, and what we have been told by men who have waltzed, we have come to the unanimous conclusion that it is dangerous to virtue, to both men and women who engage in it, and we recommend that the ministers preach against this great evil."

Bprclal to Plaikdialke. Chbtenk. April 17. The President Roosevelt reception committee have de termined to give the President a warm reception at his old home town, and we have planned a three-hour programme of cowboy stunts at the fair grounds just outside of Cheyenne that will put Buffalo bill's wild west show out of buMness. We will have a wild horse race in which the fifteen to twenty en tries will be wild, unbroken horses just rounded up from the range, never bridled or saddled before, not even hal ter broke. Each rider will draw his horse by lot, and each will have a wrang ler, or helper, to assist him in bridling and saddling the horse he draws to ride. When tlie gong sounds ail hands start to saddle and bridle, and, after getting this done, if he ever accomplishes it, theriiW must ride his mount twice . around the half mile track, , STSEXCOCS ESOIG3. With twenty wild, unbroken, buck ing, pitching horses, twenty skillful cow boy riders and twenty yeliiug wranglers all mixed op at once in front of the presidential reviewing party, the show will be worth looking at. Then we will have a lot of bucking contests with the worst bucking horses in the country and the best riders. In these contests the riders draw their mounts by lot, and the prizes go to the owner of the worst bucking horse and th most skillful rider. Thee are some noted bucking horses in the cattle coun try near Cheyenne, and they will be en tered for the contest. There will be some good steer-roping exhibitions, too. For these we have a lot of wild Texas steers, not very fat, and as agile as a razor-back hog, and it takes the very best ropers in the coun try to catch and throw and tie them. We have raised several thousand dollars to be given as prizes for that morning's sport, and the show w ill be a typical re presentation of the earlier days of the gieat range cattle industry of the Wot, D.e President will enjoy it. fr he won't have to make a speech or shake hands A Natural Sheol Hot-Blaster. A dispatch from Whatcom, Wa.h., of last Fridavaars: According to a num ber of prominent physicians who teti- fied on his trial tolay, S. W. Sniith has no control over his orsans of speech, and is not responsible fr his vile and ob scene utterance on the stivet. wIhcii have ti rifled women and children in every town in this stale w fk-h he ha visited before coming here a year or ok) re ago. Smith admitted today, on his fourth trial for using obearcne langiia, t'tat he ottered the exclamations credited to him in the indictment, but gave as a defense that there was to intent, and that be was powerless to reprees them. During bis tril he kept shrieking out vile expressions that were heard all over the courthouse. Every ctteranee of this kind was p reeded by a hiccoughing ar.d violent and sposmodic twitching of the throat muscles. Three prominent physicians of the city who have examined the prisoner, told the court that he was suffering from parabasia, a form of disease more com monly known as chorea. These physi cians read to the court Irom eminent medical authorities of similar cases, but only one recorded in medical jurispru dence was exactly in point. The prisoner is rational in every re spect, consequently he cannot be com mitted to the asylum, nor can he be sent to the penitentiary. In the city of Spo kane, where he resided before coming here, he says that he was arretted more than forty times, and paid more than $1,000 in fines on account of his infirm ity. Finally the court there ordered his examination by six physicians, and every one of these gentlemen signed a certificate, which he introduced in evi dence in his behalf today, that he was suffering from chorea, and that he was not responsible. The local physicians told the judge to day that he did not know what he was saying until after he heard the words uttered. They further told the court that persons so afflicted continually ejaculated the same expressions, gen erally some one most frequently used in childhood. The populace of Fairhaveu, where Smith resides, are trying hard to secure his incarceration, claiming that be terrifies the women of the city, and is ruining tlie small boys, who are adopting his expressions. The defend ant says his trouble resulted from an attack of scarlet fever. Seperate Schools in Kansas. KanssB, the great state over whose admission so much trouble was caused in ante-bellum days and which was the home of the thousands of negros who sought safety when they escaped from slavery, has practically, commenced a color and race reform. On Thursday of last week the Supreme Court of that state decided that the Tbpcka board of education can maintain separate schools for white and ngro children and can compel the negre children to attend the negro schools. A colored man had taken his son to the white school and the pupil was refused udmittance. Mand amus proceedings were then bronght against the hoard to compel them to admit the negroe. The supreme court held that the negro pupil must attend the negro school. NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS.

IL Strobridge, the well-known mining man of Glendale this week boud ed 42,000 acres of timber land in Jack son county, lying at the hexd of Rogue River and Butte Creek, and will at once build 26 miles of railroad, in order to reach the timber, and pot in an enor mous lumbering plant this season. Mm-t of this hind lies in what is known as the "Gotilfellow" and "Great Bend" timber tracts, and Mr. Strobridge be lieves that it is the fiaet body of tim ber between Portland and Saa Fraaciaco He estimates that it will cut 1,100.0 OuOfeetof lumber, with 2,000,0(10.000 feet more tributary to iu The price agreed upon is VSt per acre for 24,000 acres and t3 lor 13,000 acre. About -4 per cent of this timber is fir, 23 per cent sugar pine and 10 per cent yellow pine. Much of die ground will make fine agri cultural and fruit land. Mr. Strobridire believes that about half of this railroad can be built at a cost not to exceed $') per mile. Gleadale News. No 'Bed and Board" Notice Necessary The appellate division cf the supreme court of New York last Frklay, decided that husbands need not pay the bills of their wives from whem they are sep arated. Suit was brought against Hen ry R sener for a bill of t'209.95, incurred by his wife, and Justice Herman Joseph, in the 7th district municipal court, de cided in favor of Rosener, ruling that the husband is only liable when he has failed to perform a duty; the hus band owing no duty to support a wife who refuses to live with him without fault of his own." Ia order to get a final decision that would be a guide to merchants an ap peal was taken to the appellate term of of the supreme court and Justice Joseph was reversed. Then the appellate division was appealed to, with the re sult that the appellate term was re versed and Justice Joseph sustained. Looks like "Rapee." The Eugene Guard of Thursday says: Joe Matlock, son cf J. D. Matloek, was arrested last night at 3:30 o'clock by Policeman Geo. Crone r while in the act of attempting to commit rape upon the person of Rosa Bell, aged 35 years, daughter of . J. Bell, who is a common laborer, residing ou North Lawereuce street. It seems that young Matlock on Mon day night stopped the girl on her way way home from Samuel Garrison's resi dence on Pearl street, where she is en gaged as a domestic, and criminally as saulted her. She informed her parents who forthwith beeceched the police officers to apprehend the culprit. The girl did not know Matlock's name, but described him, and lat night Police man Croner watched for hitn and caught him as he was attempting his nefarious work a second time. Matlock was taken before Justice Wintermoir this atfernooa. He waived examination aud was bound over in the sum of 300 to appear before Judge Hamilton of the circuit court in Juue. His father, J. D.
