Grant's Pass Editor Must Answer for Calling Men an Ass. Grant, Pas,, Ore, June 7. Arthur Conklln, ex-presdent of th Ortgon Bdltortal Association and editor oi the Grant, Pass Mining Journal, has been sued for criminal libel by Robert Smith, candidate for reuresentatlve from Josephine county on the demo, cratlc ticket Mr. Conklla has been in miwir for trial at the VVUMU W.v. - July term of circuit court The trouble come about through the unkind thing, the Mining Journal said wuit drawinc to a close. The cam- - - paJgn, though a quiet one for some time, waxed hot and bitter at the close, and Mr. Smith, the head of the demo cratic ticket, was the object of attack! of the entire republican preaa of the wnintv. Anions: the alleged libelous statements mentioned In the Indict ment and which were published In the Journal waa that of branding Mr. Smith "an ass, "a man with no moral character or honesty." It waa also stated that "an old lady by the name-: of Sarah Lewis, a widow, had Smith; collect some money, and after collect-j Ing It he failed to turn It over. He finally admitted he used It and would give her his note, for same. Not be ing able to collect the notes, she went; to court and secured a Judgment for 1994, which Judgment has never been wild." It waa also stated in the same Issue of the Journal that "Smith repudi ates paying the Just taxes to the coun tjs and citv In which he has taxable property." street corner of Ird, Portland, Ore.

It was par ticularly rough off Point Conception, with mist and fog most of the time. However," reports Captain Cottman, of the Wvomlne. "the three vessels came along In good shape." s .The voyage of the Wyoming and the destroyers to Panama Is looked upon as demonstrating beyond doubt their seagoing abilities. The Wyoming par ticularly, considering her type, proved at all times satisfactory and convinced her officers as well as those on the other vessels of the fleet that she would be a formidable warship at sea.

Queer Effect of Sunshine. Every one knows that the heat of the sun will expand Iron and steel. Stevenson's tubular bridge, over the Mena! straits, Is 400 feet long. The heaviest train passing over It bends It just half an Inch, yet on a July day, after the sun has been shining on It for several hours, it Is found to be bent an Inch and a half below its usual horizontal line. The heat of the sun acts on stone, as well as metal, a fact which Is proved by the Washington monument It is 655 feet high, out n will be found to be about two Inches hlfher In the evening than in the morn ing of a sunny day. A strange effect of sunshine was noted at Plymoutn, where, to lay the foundations of a sea wall, the workmen had to descend In a diving bell. These bells had stupidly been fitted with convex circular glasses at the top. The sea waa very caim. and the glasses so concentrated the ravs of the sun that the clothes of one of the workmen were set on Are, and that at no less than 25 feet below the surface of the water. More Troops. New York, June 7. Another bat talion of Infantry has started from Pernambuco for Manaos, says a Her ald dispatch from Rio Janeiro. The minister of war has Instructed General Mediros, commander of the forces In the Amazonlas district that he may use a steamer of the coasting navigation company for the transpor tation of troops, the government hav ing arranged the matter with the company. First Cultivated Roses. The first cultivated rose Is said to have been planted in Belgium In the year 1522. The damasK rose waa brought from France In 1573, the moss rose about 1724. and the China rose about 50 years later. Wild roses are, however, natives of all parts of Britain, In Wetherlng"s "British Botany" only five distinct species are said to be In digenous, but in Mocker's and Arnotfs "British Flora" 19 species are men tioned, but some writers on botany raise the number to as many as 24.
