Tha Journal haa had occasion in a number of cases to publish criticisms of Individuals In public or In private life whose acts have seemed to merit condemnation. At times TheIaJc'r1CfcIM1iatfs 'bTenevelfer for wnri ' satisfied that dishonesty has been practiced r that breach of trust has occurred, The ' Journal has not hesitated to unmask and 'i'l expose' It. No accusation' haa Jeen made ' without careful' Investigation and then only - - n llie-bellefthat the-staements-pabllshetl '. were absolutely true. . Nevertheless some v i persons who have beenthe subjects of the crtlclsma of this paper have affected to Ignore Its assertions and to attribute them to malice or to ulterior: motives. i -If these persons have been maligned or misrepresented, why do they not sue The Journal for libel? The courta afford ample relief for the vie . tlms of false publications and The, Journal .: Is able to pay all Judgments that rnay.be . recovered against it. If its statements are untrue Jet those who are aggrieved seek the j redress which the law provides.

Journal have been permitted to pass un- answered and without an effort to disprove Z-.' them in the courts" and to obtain sattufac y ' tlon In damages. Minor Instances of dishonesty, especially In business dealings effecting the poorer j classes in the community, hare been un sparingly exposed and The Journal has challenged contradiction of the facts pre sented In Hs columns. Not once has the law been Invoked to obtain redress for those publications. To every man who alleges that he has . been libeled by The Journal v.e say, Bi1;ib suit. The courts are open and this paper Is amply responsible. summer and will probably be more largely attended than even the World's Fair at Chi cago.

Attention will be drawn to' the state and the exhibit will serve as a contant reminder that it Is but a sample of the wonders to be seen at the Lewis and Clark Fair. No effort should be spared to make Oregon's exhibit as complete as possible. Two more arrests in the PostofBce De partment and the indictment of ex-Superin tendent Machen give renewed evidence that the corrtiptlon "Was "even" more widespread than has been supposed.

That Exposition opens next Una petrified gentleman, " (Concluded from Testerday's Paper.) Chief Octant, his son and daughter were witnesses of the mad' act. "Good-bye, white man," salt) the old Indian. They were standing about the door of .young Ozlant's cabin. As the gallant Texan fairly flew over the plain, swinging his revolver .over his head, the Indians gazed at him In .fear and admiration." To them the conduct of their, friend was a rash venture, which an experienced cattleman would have 'condemned. ; "No one man. nor 20 men, could stop or turn that heard of bellowing devils now. In that valley," exclaimed young Oslant. "Poor fellow! How I pliy him!" be added. ( "They will run over him and trample man and horse to Jelly.". . j ' . '' "And ay Ve to stand here and see the young mart mangled to death?" said the Indian girl, ns she ran towards her father's favorite horse, which stood only a. few step away, pawlna-lne earth and snuffing the air, as if eager to Join In the stampede, which he was rcstlcsr ly watching, ofter the manner of an old cow pony. - -' . . This famous horse la well known In the Indian Territory) under Jhe name of Rebo. He hns been victor upon a hundred racing fields, and the Indians-believe that he Is the fastest four-footed animal on earth. The Indian princess sprang tlpon Rebo's bare back mid iwlthont waiting for a bridle or other harness she slapped the noble animal upon the Shoulder, and, leaning forward over his neck, she urged him toward the avalanche of cattle by touching his flanks with her heels and talking to him as If he possessed human Intelligence. A small rope looped over the horse's under jaw was the Only means the daring girl posvesfled for controlling the spirited animal, but old Rebo had tried his metal against ntnmpeded steers many, times before, and he liked the business. His soul was In arms and eager for tho fray. He needed no urging or guiding. The clatter of 20,000 hoofs upon the trembling earth, the clash of horns, the mad bellowing of road! cattle, and the roar that would have drowned the thunders of a storm enthused and animated both horse and rider. The eyes of the fearless girl were fixed upon the venturesome young Texan, who was fast drawing near the great mass. of crazed beasts. She saw him turn slightly to the right as he intended to gain thsdlstant -flank of the approaching herd, and the next moment she heard the report of his pistol, followed by a wild yell. . ' "He had os well try to command the winds!" exclaimed the girl as she slapped her flying horse upon the neck. The two endangered people were now about a hundred yards apart and the cattle were not more than half that distance away. If the Texan had continued his course, he might have gained the opposite side of the valley in safety, but he turned back. Firing In the faces of the cattle and yelling like a Comanohe, he came dashing towards tee Indian girl, shouting defiance at the rapidly approaching herd. - "He must be mad." said the girl as she urged Rebo forward, hoping to gain the young man's side and induce, him to abandon the Idea of trying to stop the stampede. They were within ten steps 6f each other, and the cattle were not much farther away when the Texan's horse stepped In a gopher hole and turned a complete somersalt. Mr. Sams was thrown headlong and sprawling upon his back. "I had barely sense enough left to realise tat I was lost," says the Texan. The Indian girl held the same opinion for a moment. The fallen horse could not regain bis feet, and Sams by a, desperate effort was only able to scramble to his knees as his rescuer reached his side. Tlllle bent over and grasped his hand. The cattle were upon them. The girl could turesome, helpless youth. Fortunately her strength was equal to the emergency and she drew the struggling young man to his feet. None too soon he threw himself on the back of the horse behind the brave girl. "Saved!" exclaimed the Indian maiden as she slapped, the sensible horse' on the neck and bade him spring forward towards a place of safety. The spirited horse soon placed considerable space between bis heels and the horns of his pursuers. The battle was not over. . , - v x Fortune seemed determined to doubly punish the Texan -or his reckless venture and double his Indebtedness to the pretty girl who twice risked life In one day to save him from death. The lower end of the valley was covered with prairie grass that had grown high enough to hide a full grown horse. A? a moment when the young people were congrat ulating themselves upon their narrow escape, a great, dense cloud of black smoke' swept over the valley In front of them, and as they drew nearer they could see tongues of flame leaping high into the air. The Indian girl guided her horse in an oblique direc tion to the right, hoping to gain the hills before the right flank of the herd was upon them. This move gave the cattle some advantage, for she was not going straight away' from them. The iierd again approached Rebo's heels and at the same Instant a great, deep creek had appeared under the horse's nose. The cattle had been crowded Into this ditch and hundreds them-were thundering rwn the valley on the opposite Side, " Thir peril was now greater than ever. There was an avalanche of cattle behind them and a sea of fire in front. They had lost a slight .advantage In making the ride in an oblique direction and the steers on the, flanks were forging ahead. The horse was w hlte with foam, but his speed had not abated. "Forward!" whispered the Texan. "If hfs strerigth fails i I will fail off and you must save yourself. . ' ' The Indian girl turned her fine eyes with a look of rebuke upon the man she. was trying to rescue, and when she saw the livid eyeballs, red tongues, and sharp horns of countless mad cattle ready to sweep over horse and riders she Involuntarily uttered the Cherokee death wall, and throwing herself on the neck of the flying horse she said: "We will die together. If you fall I will throw myself by your side." ' The long line of flame in front was rising high In the air. As they drew nearer the ' sea of fire they could hear the crackling of the angry tongues of flame mingled with the hideous howls and screams of wolves and other wild animals that were being scorched from their lairs. There was no chance to escape, the pursuing horror or the Wall of fire "by turning; either to the right or left. The girl turned her head. Their eyes met and they understood each other. There was but one chance. They would dash straight at that roaring, settling hell, and If they fell they would perish In each other's arms. The Texan threw his arm about the brave girl's neck, and as they cloned their eye3 and bent forward both shouted a word of encouragement to the noble hoise. He seemed to know thBt a prodigy was required of him, and he sprang amidst the flames as If they possessed no terrors. A dozen leaps placed the spirited horse beyond the scorching fire and , the brave Indian maiden was ready to shout for Joy, but the fates seemed to have a spite against the lovers on that eventful day. There was another battle to' be fought. At the last moment, when the proud horse was bounding beyond the flre, a dozen ravenous wolves, maddened and rcorched hairless, sprang up from Jthe hot earth, and running to Rebo's side ' they fastened thfelr fangs In one of the Texan's shoes and dragged him to the ground. Fortunately, he had a small bowle knife at his belt, and quickly drawing th&hveappn he was able to protect himself until the Indian maiden again came to his rescue. The noble horse had stopped of his tiwn accord when he felt one of his riders slip from his back. When Tlllle turned about she was surprised, to discover that the fire had broken the stampede. The cattle were piling up on' each other at the line of fire. She saw the Texan in a cloud of smoke slashing at a peck of wolves that were snapping their white fangs In his face. Again she urged Rebo to his side and helped him to escape to a seat behind her. He was covered with blood, and through her sympathy while flying to her brother's cabin her secret escaped and the bleeding Texan found that the Indian maiden loved him, and before' he recovered from "his wounds under her tender nursinc; he. learned that she knew that he loved her before he. found It Out . himself. c , - - " - '; " a -.
