Council Meeting:.
Council met last night. The mayor
stated that the special purpose of the
meeting was to consider a communica
tion from Frank Dekum, returning un
signed the personal indemnity bond
asked for by the council at its last meet
ing. The communication was read and, on
motion filed.
Councilman Farley then handed the
recorder 1 a communication from De
kum and Thompson addressed to the
mavor and common council of Dalles
city, dated at Portland, December- 13.
The communication was read and filed.
A petition signed by W. Lord French
& Co. and others, praying the council to
accept the two deeds offered by The
Dalles Mill and Water company hereto
fore executed, and to deliver to said
company, the warrant- drawn against
the water fund for the pnrchase price,
and that no further covenants be re
quired. ;
The petition being read, Councilman
Thornburv moved that it be received
and filed. s
Council man Dufur moved to amend to
read, receive the petition, file and grant
the praver of the petitioners. The
amendment was accepted.
Councilman Peters stated that he
would not vote for the motion, on the
grounds that the deeds provided no war
ranty to divert the waters from the old
channels.
The mavor then stated that he had
disapproved the purchase of The Dalles
Mill and Water company's plant at $50,
000 from the beginning ; had from time
to time stated and communicated to the
council his reasons by message, and that
he still disapproves the purchase at tnat
price.
. He said "It was apparent that his dis
approval of the measure would be over
ruled now, as it had been heretofore, by
a majority and in order that the property
if purchased, might be had at the best
possible advantage, an additional deed
had been asked, warranting the city in
the right to divert water from the Dog
river ditch, and that he would now sub
mit to the council a copy of such cove
nant and a telegram from A. S. Mac
allister at Portland stating that the said
amended deed had lieen executed and
delivered."
After some discussion the motion was
by consent withdrawn.
- It was then moved to receive and file
the petition.
A resolution was then passed providing
for the acceptance of the three last deeds,
and the delivery of the $50,000 warrant.
The two deeds are now in the recorders
office and one was executed and delivered
to A. S. MacAllister to-day, at Portland.
Council adjourned.
' Killed His Mother.
A man calling himself John Anderson
has lived in Grass Valley, near Kerr &

years, and has always been a steady,
hard working man, but at times has
acted a little queer.' A month or six
weeks ago he received through' the land
office, the money he had paid on a pre
emption claim, it being returned on ac
count of some irregularity. With this
money he purchased a ticket for Arkan

pectation of being hanged, he having
killed his mother there about eight
years ago, and he goes back for the pur ;

An Indian Iaecead.
When the Great Spirit created the
world he first made three men, aH of tho
same color. Then ha led them to a pool
of water and bade them jump in and
bathe. One of them, obeying at once,
leaped in in advance of his fellows, and
came oat clean and white.
The other hesitated, . bat one soon fol
lowed the first. : When he went in the
water had become - somewhat stained
and he came out copper colored.
Then the third man went in. By that
time the water of the pool bad become
black, and he was . consequently black
when he bad bathed.-
Thus it happens that there are white
men, red men and black men in the
world. '
Then the Great Spirit laid down three
packaged before the three men, which
contained their future fate. Out of pity
for the black man he permitted him to
have his first choice of the parcels.
The black man, without hesitation.
took the largest of the parcels; the red
an, whose torn was next, took the
next largest parcel, and the white man
got the remaining one, which was very
Then the men opened their packages.
That of the black man was found to
contain shovels and other implements of
labor; the red man's contained bows and
arrows, and the white man's small par
cel consisted of pens, ink and tools for
fine, light work, .
From that time on each man made

Mew York's Ink Industry.
New York is entitled to consideration
as the leading city of the Union in the
manufacture of ink. Fifteen years ago
English ink controlled the market. Since
then the American article has been
gradually poshing the British product
oat of the market by its superiority and
excellence. There is a great difference
between the wholesale and retail price
of the fluid. A little bottle of ink con
taining two ounces, for which a person
pays five cents, costs at the factory one
cent. . The bottles are really more vain-
able than the ink they contain.
The best black ink is made from the
gall nnt and iron. The gall nnt is found
in Arabia, and is about the size of
hickory nnt and grows on a small, scrub
by oak. A large majority of the col
ored inks are made from the extracts of
coal tar. The most expensive colored
ink used for ruling is carmine, made
from the cochineal bag. The cochineal
bag is raised with much care in Mexico.
The dye from this hog is worth $15 a
pound. Since cochineal dye is becom
ing scarce ink makers are compelled to
use an inferior red color from coal tar.
The ten different colored inks are all
made from the extract of coal tar. White
ink is made for writing on black paper,
bat tbe demand for it is not very great.

A Story of Schiller.
A curious incident is handed down
from the boyish life of Schiller. One
day, in a tremendous thunderstorm, the
family gathered together in ill disguised
terror. Bnt Fritz was missing, and the
father, alarmed for his safety, sought
him m vain in all the rooms of the house.
He went outdoors to search for the
truant, and to his surprise found him
perched on a branch of a solitary tree,
eagerly watching the heavens and the
flashes which lighted up the gloom. He
was wholly indifferent to the rain, which
had wet him to the skin, and to the dan
ger he incurred. To the sharp reproof
of the father the boy replied with a
glowing face:

to Bee where it came from." Boston

Why Boys Are Fond of Natura.
I have often read in stories of boys who
were fond of nature, and loved her sub
limity and beauty, but I do not believe
boys are ever naturally fond of nature.
They want to make use of the woods and
fields and rivers; and when they become
men they find these aspects of nature
endeared to them by association, and so
they think they were dear for their own
Bakes, but the taste for nature is as purely
acquired as the taste for poetry or the
taste for tomatoes. I have often seen
boys wondering at the rainbow, but it
was wonder, not admiration, that moved
them; and I have seen them excited by a
storm, but because the etona was tre
mendous, not because it was beautiful.

Corporations Were Ever the Banna.
"Corporations have no souls" is a much
older expression than most people im
agine. . It originated with Sin Edward
Coke, who in the Sixteenth century was
considered one of the best legal writers
of the-age. He says, in one of his treat
ises. "Corporations cannot commit tres
pass, nor be outlawed, nor excommuni
cated, for they have no souls." Detroit

It is a curious and inexplicable tiling
that a cigarette or a pipe will spoil the
