' WEATHER. 4 Western Oregon and Washing- tonRain. THAT FIVE-DAY HOLIDAY! We do not question the expediency of Governor Chamberlain's proclamation declaring a five-day. holiday for the banks of Oregon, since it was petitioned for by the representative bankers of the city of Portland; but we do feel morally certain that there is no critical condi tion of affairs' in this state that war rants actual apprehension, that the move was made more to safeguard! the present solid status than to meet any untoward exigency that is really upon us. It is an extraordinary proceeding and appears quite justifiable upon either hypothesis named. Aa to Astoria, banks, it is held here, universally, that they are in impregna ble shape, just as they have been for years, and perfectly able to weather any sort of stress. They are known to have a million and a half of ready money in their vaulta at this writing, or practi cally fifty per cent of their liabili ties; and are each and all in sound and wholesome shape. It ia also known that the gubernatorial order has not inter fered in the remotest manner with the markets nor the shipping of staple pro ducts from here and that the banks have sanctioned the continuance of all. com mercial engagements and will cover the situation aa it relates to this important element of business, despite the 120 hour closing manifesto. Even if conditions were threatening or perilous, the popular feeling in this city is absolutely certain of the integrity and safety of the bslnks of Astoria. The his tory of 1892-3, when but one failure was recorded here and that covered-in at 85 per cent of outstanding liabilities has never been forgotten, and serves well as a predicate upon which to found the public confidence now, when there is in finitely less to create doubt or fear. We believe that when the banks over the state shall open on next Monday morning for business, the last and least reason fop this unusual procedure will have vanished, and the situation will have so cleared itself of ambiguity as to emphasize the most cheerful opinions held! here, and elsewhere, in regard to it. 0 A MALIGNANT VENGANCE. Theodore Roosevelt, President of the X'nited States, has achieved the bitter hatred of the high financial pirates of the country by his policies of regula tion, exposure and public accounting for their illegal methods, and if any man thinks this class of people forget, fore go, or fail of their vengeance in such cases, he reckons without his host. They are pdwerul, adroit, malignant, con scienceless and obdurate in the pursuit of an enemy j and only the masterful candor and courage of the President has saved him thus far from open and vio lent attack. It has been recognized, even in the predatory camp, that what he has done against the crooked wealth of the country has been done in the name and behalf of the people, and not for effect or time-serving; and it was unsafe and manifestly dangerous to at tack him as less true and forceful men might have been overtaken. But they will crucify him in the very sight of the people, at last, unless the people rally to him and his doctrines with the insuperable and logical power that is theirs and theirs alone. There is already a huge financial conspiracy afoot to blast him. and his program, if a thousand banks and millions of peo ple are ruined in the play of the dread ful scheme, and! it will be wrought in the coming year and at the polls, unless the monstrous job .shall be recognized and the peril of the moment shall com pel Mr. Roosevelt to enter the lists to save the nation he stands for. ' In which event he will be sent back to the na tional executorship by a vote unparal leled in the history of Republican insti tutions. Perhaps it will be better thus, for then the back of the vast financial machine twill have been broken once for all, and the way opened up for the for anation, and investiture, of the new and Stage Overturns Killing One Man and Injuring Others. ROSEBURG, Oct. 29. One of the most appaling accidents to be recorded in the history of the Roseburg-Coos Baytage iines oecured at about seven o'clock last Saturday evening near Sheep Ranch, a stage station about seven miles east of Camas Valley on the Miirshfield road, when the four horses hitched to the heavy Fento stage conveyance became frightened1 and ran awayv carrying its load of human freight at a rapid rate for some distance when the rig, horses and occupants were dashed over a steep embankment, landing in the river below, resulting in the "killing of one man al most instantly while the remainder of those aboard suffered minor bruises and cuts. Three of the horses were killed outright and the fourth was so badlv maimed that it had to be shot soon after. The lllfated stage left this city as usual at about nine o'clock last Satur day morning, having aboard four pas sengers, a few mail sacks and the driver. After considerable Investigation the list is found) to comprise J. F. Quirk, of San Francisco; ' E. W. Paee. of Westhrme. North Dakota; I. P. Baldwin, residence unfortunate man, T. N. Morehouse, re unknown and the unfortunate man, T.j X. Morehouse, registered at the Hotel McQallen October 22 as a resident of San Francisco. T. N. Morehouse who met his death in the accident was a member of the commercial Travellins Association. He was traveling for an eastern crockery nrm inrougn ttus state. safer measures of popular government that are essential phases of the Roose veltiau nrwpectus. . 0 THE GOOD OLD RAIN. ' tAfter a magnificent season her whkh has contributed immensely to the business and reputation of the city and section, we are - in the midst, of our first good old ram. It has fallen softly, yet copiously, and has done and will do an infinite amount of good. It will re plenish the springs and streams and amplify the sources and power of these iudispensable agencies, from one end of the county to the other; It will till the reservoirs of the people everywhere with public and private supply and ward off all chance of meagerness in this direc tion ; it will purge the atmosphere and make it the more breathable, and cleanse the pores of old Mother Earth and re vivify her for the generous mead of a newer ' season; it will bring out the water-bound logs from a thousand camps and waterways and energise hun dreds of industries incident to their re lease; but more than all else by way of good, will it add tone and vigor to the general health of the people whersoever it falls.' ' The rains of Oregon and the north west may be voluminous and long in their falling, but they are of tremen doua value and cannot be spared at any time nor in any sense. They are indis pensable and welcome and propitious, and all who know well their marvelous influences for good, are glad to see them once again. 0 FATAL ACCIDENT. A "HUMAN BUG." Win. F. Ramshauer, of New York City, who calls himself "The Human Bug" entertained a great part of Cin cinnati and the inhabitants of the Ken tucky hills with an acrobatic perform ance on a flag pole recently. Ramshauer stood on his head, balanced himself on his feet, swung himself like a flag and sat cross-legged like a Turk, reading a newspaper, on the gilded ball that sur mounted tne 3U-ioot staff on the nin story building. Crowds eathered on the down town streets and on the hills on the other side of the river and watched the steeplejack work. (All the while the pole swayed, but the "Human Bug" wasn't nervous. It was the first time he wasn't nervous for a week. He says he is always nervous when he is down on the ground, and is at his case near the clouds. Ramshauer smokes cigarette, which are supposed to make people shaky. JURY NOT SECURED. SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 29.A special to the Chronicle from Rathdrum, Idaho, says.- The second trial of Steve Adams, the member of the Western Federation of Miners who is charged with the mur der of Fredl Tyler, a settler, was taken up in the District Court this morning be fore Judge Wu W. Woods. Little prog ress was made in the work of securing the jury. Henry E. Jones of Tampa, Fla., writes: "I can thank God for my present health, due to Foley's Kidney Cure. I tried doctors and all kinds of kidney cures, but nothing done me much good till I took Foley's Kidney Cure. Four bottles cured me, and I have no more pain in my back and shoulders. I am 62 years old and suffered long, but thanks to Foley's Kidney Cure I am well and can walk and enjoy myself. It is a pleasure to recommend it to those needing a kidney medicine." Lon)e Hehind The Counter. (Original.) The poet says, "All times aw thin, 0 DeitthP' This Is equally true of love making.

On laud and on sea, at noon, at twilight, lu the ballroom and In the death chamber lovers have wooed and will continue to woo so long ns the human race is on tho earth. Johnny Bounco was a clerk lu a de partment store In a large city. Ho sold goods from the men's underwear coun ter, which adjoined the department of ladles' hosiery. Johnny's place was on the right of the underwear, and on the left of the ladles' hosiery stood Luct Crowfutt, a dainty blond, who from the moment she had taken her plnco there and had brought her robin's egg eyes to bear upon him had melted a way with them straight Into the under wear clerk's heart They had found opportunity to speak scattered sen tences or fragments of sentences on bright days when the store was full of customers and to chat continuously on rainy days wheu the store was de serted, but In this chat there was no word of love. Love had been looked, but not spoken. Nevertheless, after several weeks of propinquity, the two young hearts had become welded. Then came a new man at the glove counter, directly opposite the men's underwear and ladles' hosiery. lie was Byronlc in" his appearance, espe cially his collar, which. If It was not cut In ByronJc collar fashion, was equally ample. A mass of raven curls were tossed up on the top of his bend, one of them falling down upon lit forehead, nearly touching a hook nose. He had hardly taken his place before the floorwalker was obliged to admon ish him to attend to his customers and keep his eyes off the little girl at the counter opposite. Johnny Bounce was panic stricken. No woman Is Insensible to admiration, and the blue eyed beauty from the mo ment the clerk at the glove counter cast his flashing black eyes upon her threw up her hands not In token of surrender, but to make sure her hair was properly adjusted. Johnny saw the admiring glance and its effect. lie cursed himself for a fool that he had not secured the prize while there was no one at the glove counter except two commonplace middle aged men and an old maid. Now it might be too late. Not a moment was to be lost The morning was beautiful. The windows were full of spring goods. The wax ladles donned ml the habili ments of the opening season seemed to smile more contentedly than usual. But this has nothing to do with an arjlatlc. setting, fox. this romance for J within te store wasTrbwdeilanJ, tue weather being mild, overheated, jonn ny Bounce's cheek glowed not only with tho temperature of the building, but with anxiety. He was keeping oue eye on some union suits he was show, lug to ft customer, the other on the flashing eyed mnn opjioslte. Tho cus tomer, not finding what he wanted, moved on. A lady to whom MIhs Crowfutt had been showing stockings moved on nt the same time. Johnny determined to seise tho opportunity. "Miss Crowfutt," he began, "do you know that it seems a very short time since you enme Into Mie place beside me. but It Isn't. It's a month. That's long enough for mo to find out a se cret. I've found out- Blankets, sir? Sixth floor. Take tho elevator. Pre found out tbnt if I don't- Wootleft ware? Buaemeut. If I dont-I mean If you don't- Men's underwear? Right here. What site, sir? Thirty-two waist ia too large for twenty-eight length. Undershirt thirty-four? Think you'll find thlrty-slx more satisfac tory. No, the goods don't shrink, but thirty-six will be easier. Don't like the quality? They're all wool, air. Wt haven't a better line In the house. Sorry I can't suit you. Yoo'll find bath robes In the back of the store, four aisles that way." As the man moved off a lady ap proached Miss Crowfutfa counter, and it was half an hour before the two were again free.. Then Johnny sidled up to Lucy. This time he spoke from the heart r . "I'm nearly craxy. "What's the matter with yon? lou'U find lace curtains over on that sldo, madam." 'That fellow opposite la rubbering you.M Tshawl Do you think I'd look at him? What size, madam? Lisle thread? We have very fine articles. You'll find the advertised goods over there, sir. That'll fit you. Openwork? We haven't any of these In openwork.' The customer passed on and was succeeded by another. This time Miss Crowfutt made a sale, but the lady turned away for a moment to speak to a friend. Johnny whispered: "Lucy, I love you awful. If you don't love me I'll go mad. Tell me, quick, before she turns. Will yon?" "Willi what r "Will you be my girl and marry me so I can know yon belong to me and to nobody else?" At that moment the lady turned. Lucy whispered the one word "Yes," then, tapping with her pend! on the counter, called: "Cash!" Poor children! They never dreamed that of tho two, final words spoken on that occasion, so Important to both of them, the former would In time be relegated to the background, while the latter would thrust Itself forward, con fronting them every day of their Uvea, They had struck the keynotes of lore before and after marriage.
