LOCAL BREVITIES.
Mr. Orion Kinersly went to Portland
last night.
Hon. F. P. Mays came up from Port
land this morning.
Senator Watkins came home from
Salem this morning. v .
Mr. Win. Chambert has moved his
family to Albina and will make that
city his home.
Messrs. James Benson, of Goldendale,
Robert Rand and John Parker, of Hood
River and E. Husbands, of Mosier, are
in the city.
A light, but steady and apparently
general rain set in last night. It was
needed by our farmers and is more than
welcome.
Mr. J. A. Anderson shipped two car
loads of sheep to the American Dressed
Beef Co., at Troutdale last night, and
will ship another tonight.
Mr. Crook, father of Mrs. John Filloon
who has been visiting his daughter here,
returned to his home in Klickitat county
this morning.
Assessable property is being created
very fast these days in Wasco county.
Three or four firms are making out pa
pers and the entire force of the land of
fice are as busy as bees.
The weather reports are received here
at 8 o'clock in the evening at which
time the flags are changed. It will be
seen from this, that the weather chang
ing in the night the flag is not noticed
until the change has taken place.
Garden seeds are exposed for sale in
the groceries, and are being sold too.
Gardens are being prepared and the
hardier vegetables planted. Making
garden in January in this latitude seems
I preposterous but it is nevertheless true.

. It will cost you only fifty cents a month
to have it delivered by the carrier, and
it is brimful of news, wisdom and locals.
Read it for a month and you will find
that you cannot do without it,
Mr. John Stoddard manager and
member of the Oregon Lumber Co., of
Hood River, has received seven carloads
of railroad iron and expects eight more
soon, says the Glacier. This iron will
be used in building a railroad in con
nection with the company's mills.
Mr. Robert Mays returned from Salem
this morning, and informs us that the
appropriation for a portage railway at
the Cascades is going to meet with con
siderable opposition in the house and
that it will require attention if the bill
is to pass.
Several persons applying to locate,
forfeited land were compelled to take
out their first papers in order to do so,
though some of them were already
naturalized. All those who have their
papers should bring them, as it is abso
lutely necessary that they be produced.
Ed. W. Bingham, who was secretary
of the Ballot Reform League, writes
. from Salem, that if the people want the
. Australian voting system adopted they
will have to make their representatives
in the legislature know it pretty forcibly,
as there is great danger of the bill being
killed by having riders put on it.
Now is the time to buy your tickets
and reserve your seats for "A Celebrated
Case" which will be put on the stage
again next Tuesday night. The proceeds
are to be donated to the Y's, and this
should aid materially in filling the house.
We have the best amateur club in the
state and should show our appreciation
. . of it.
The land office is doing a rushing busi
. ness, which will evidently be rapidly
increased as the great majority of appli
cations are from Hood River which being
situated on the line of the railroad got
the news of the opening of the lands
first. When the other precincts are
heard from, the gathering of the clans
of Roderick Dhu will be nowhere.
There is really no need of hurry, but
everybody is anxious and consequently
the rush will be made just the same.
1 The Chronicle is daily in . receipt of
such kind words from the readers and
ich flattering indorsements, that the
TJlitor has nearly dislocated his maxillae
trying to blush. It is a lost art, and the
attempt is vain.. Chasing the elusive
item, perusing the spring crop of poetry,
and bringing pnr marble cheek (monu
ments are made of marble) in contact
with the icy breath of a cruel world has
dismantled the blush that used to be the
mantle-piece thereof. We thank our
friends for their kind words, and hope
' they will take our attempt to blush, for
the deed.

His Behavior Accounted Eor.
Pedestrians'in Fifth avenue, New York,
near the Windsor hotel, on Thursday last,
were surprised to see a well dressed man,
who had been placidly promenading the
sidewalk, jump into the air, fling his cane
into the gutter, toss his hat away, rip
open his coat and vest. It was supposed
by those who observed his antics that he
was insane. He was seized by several
men, who pitied bis condition, and while
he howled and fought his captors, he was
carried to a drugstore. . After a pony of
cognac had been administered to him
without any evidence of repugnance on
his part, he explained that something
was burning his back. On partially
disroding him a partly burned cigar
ette was found lodgedb etween his under
shirt and his skin, between his shoulder
blades. It is supposed that a cigarette
smoker on the roof of a Fifth-avenue
stage tossed a half-smoked cigarette
toward the sidewalk, and that it hap
pened to lodge in the sensitive place
where it was found. -
A meteoric stone resembling- granite
recently fell near the mouth of Pistol
river, in Curry county, Oregon. It
weighs something over 400 pounds, and
embedded itself feet in the earth. Par
ties who saw it fall went to dig it out,
but found it so hot nothing could be
done with it. After it had cooled it was
removed and will soon be placed on ex
hibition in Portland.
Rev. Mr. Talmage says "There is no
happiness in this world for an idle wo
man." Mr. Talmage should reserve his
sympathy for the overworked women.
The idle women can derive considerable
pleasure fiom a 25 cent novel and .a $5,
poodle dog.
The secretary of thetreasury has sent
to thej house a communication from the
attorney general relative to the necess
ity of having means of transportation of
witesses arrest of murderers in that sec
tion of Alaska lying west of Sitka. The
secretary recommends that a revenue
cutter be detailed for this dutv. -

A prominent physician and old army
surgeon in eastern Iowa, was called away
from home for a few days ; during his al
sence one of the children contracted a
severe cold and his wife bought a bottle
of Chamberlin's Cough Remedy for it.
They were so much pleased that they
afterwards used several bottles at var
ious times. He said, - from experience
with it, he regarded it as the most reli
able preparation in use for colds and that
it came the nearest being a specific of
any medicine he had ever seen. For

From Society to Socialism.
Speaking of ministers reminds me of
a little story I heard recently. Hugh O.
Pentecost, who started out as a Baptist
preacher, broke away from his church,
ran for mayor of Newark, N. J., and is
now editor of Twentieth Century- He
married a very prominent society girl of
Hartford, Conn., about ten years ago.
Their wedding was a very swell affair.
Afterward Mr. Pentecost accepted a pul
pit in Brooklyn at a salary of $10,000 a
year. Everything seemed bright for the
young couple. The wife was handsome
and popular, the preacher was eloquent,
earnest and successful.
A few nights ago some old friends of
Mrs. Pentecost, who had known her in
the days when she shone as a societv
belle, went to hear her husband address
a crowd of workingmen on the east side.
Imagine their astonishment when Mrs.
Pentecost came out on the stage and, at
tired in a most striking garb, sang to the
assemblage a revolutionary song. She
has been a most loyal wife. She has sup
ported her husband in every step he has
taken, and has been of great service to
him in his rather peculiar career. Con
sidering her former life as a society
woman, her present career as a singer of
socialistic songs is picturesque. New
York Cot. Kansas City Journal.
Mrs. N. E. Bragg, president of the
Ladies' Auxiliary, recently laid the cor
nerstone of the new Y. M. C. A. build
ing at Bangor, Me. Of the $40,000 so
far paid in on the building fund the
women of Bangor have given $13,600,
and it is to be hoped that young women
will share with young men the) advan
tages of the building when completed.
Mrs. Olive Washburn, of Ran TlVnrv.
Cisco, is about to devote the bulk of her
fortune to founding a Nationalist col
ony in California. Bellamy's "Looking
Backward" theories are to be followed,
and all people of good moral character
will be admitted, irrespective of religious
belief. Over $100,000 will be spent in
buildings and improvements.
Instead of wintering at Corfu, as was
her original intention, it is very likely
that the empress of Austria Trill go to
the West Indies in a few weeks, in which
case she will probably cruise on this side
of the Atlantic during the greater por
tion of next year. The empress has con
ceived a wish to visit Cuba, Jamaica and
Mexico.
One of the three daughters of John D.
Rockefeller, while a student at Yassar,
had a handsome allowance in the way of
money from home. Instead of spending
this on rich gowns and apartments she
paid for two years the tuition and ex
penses of a girl from the country who
was not able to pay them herself.
For lovers of condiments and highly
spiced dishes it is a simple thing to work

radish, a few drops of caper or Worces

mustard.

PEANUT CRAFTINESS
AN ITAUAN PEDDLER WHO UNDER
, 8TANDS HUMAN NATURE.
Othars "Malta da Appetite" and He
,Waka de Mon" How a Shrewd Vender
Takes Advantage of the Wind and His
Companions Ignorance.
A newspaper man who is fond of hot
roasted peanuts, and generally pur
chases a pint of them daily from some
street .vender in Park row, noticed on
one occasion that a particularly swarthy
old Italian gave him better measure for
his money and also larger and more per
fect nuts than any other. Accordingly,
being, a thrifty man, even in small
things, he resolved to deal with this fel
low exclusively if possible.
The next day, however, as he descend
ed the stairway of the elevated railway
he missed the vender at his accustomed
stand, and so purchased a pint of pea
nuts, which subsequently turned out to
be a rather wormy lot, from another son
of Italy. He had not got half way to
Broadway when he came across the gen
erous vender selling his wares as usual,
but in a different place from the one he
occupied the day before.
The newspaper man did not want two
pints of peanuts, and in fact he had not
then discovered the wormy condition of
his recent purchase, nevertheless he made
a mental note of the new stand of his
chosen source of supply and passed
along.
DODG1NO AROUND.
The next time he had occasion to go
through Park row he entered it from
Broadway. He looked about for his
peanut vender, expecting to find him at
the new stand, but he was not. "His
honesty has bankrupted him," solilo
quized the newspaper man. "It evi
dently pays better to remain in one spot
and sell wormy nuts." So he purchased
from another vender and got among his
change a plugged Canadian dime, which
a horsecar conductor subsequently re
turned to him with loudly expressed
scorn.
This thing happened several times.
The honest vender always shifted his
position and his would-be customer al
ways bought his nuts elsewhere. Final
ly it flashed into the mind of the news
paper man, whose brain was generally
so busy with the big questions of the
day, that the circumstances just de
scribed had hardly been noticed by him
at all up to that time, that this honest
vender was always in Park row, some
where between the elevated road and
Broadway, so he determined not to buy
any nuts till he came np to him, wher
ever his chosen stand for the day might
be.
Accordingly, the next day he passed
several venders before he came to the
shifting merchant, but was rewarded by
a heaping measure of particularly fine
nuts.
"Why don't you stay in one place?"
asked the newspaper man. "I bike to
buy your nuts, and I would do so every
day if I could find you without so much
trouble. I really can't spare the time to
keep thinking of you and a trifling pint
of nuts all the way. from the elevated
road to Broadway. If I knew just
where you were I need only think of
you as I pass your stand, and my mind
would do that mechanically without in
terupting my other thoughts. See?"
"No unnerstando," said the Italian,
with a bright smile.
thk secret out.
"I suppose not," arid the other. "Why
don't you get one stand and stay there
like the other fellows?" he shouted, fall
ing into the popular belief that people
understand a foreign tongue when it is
screamed at them more readily than
when it is whispered.
The Italian shrugged his shoulders.
"Tinka I get reglah customers?" he
asked with a grin.
"Certainly," said the adviser. "Look
at me, for instance."
"Why you reglah customer of me
and not of other fellahs? Lika de good
nut, eh?" and he showed his white teeth
from ear to ear.
"Well, that's so," replied the news
paper man with a laugh. "I'd deal with
you anyway, and you've found that out.
I suppose youll begin to treat me less
generously by degrees, now that you
think you've got me. But what makes
you shift about so anyway? The others
don't do it."
"The wind," said the peddler, and
then he looked as if he had admitted too
much, and would say no more. But the
newspaper man's curiosity was aroused,
and after dealing with the man for a
week or two he won his confidence, and
finally learned what the wind had to do
with it.
"Well," said the Italian, still grinning,
"I tell you. People dat lika de good nut
reglah follow me; people dat lika nut
once in while I follow dem. More of
dose don de odder. Today wind blow
from dat Dago vender up de street, who
always stand in one place, to me, who
shift about. Man come along very bey
and pass his stand. Just as he go by he
get strong smell of roasta peanut. He
tink he like some, but no time to go back..
'Plenty other fellahs,' he say. Den he
come to me and buy some. To-morra,
praps, wind blowa de odder way. I
go odder side of Dago dat always
stand in one place, and I catena de cus

Japanese Lacquer.
The Japanese lacquer which attracts
so much attention here on trays and
ornaments imported from that myste
rious land has an interesting history. It is
extracted from a tree, like sugar from a
maple, and these lacquer yielding trees
reach a very large size. They only live
about forty years, when they are cut
down, and the lacquer extracted from
the branches, and young trees take their
place. The varnish is proof against boil
ing water, alcohol and almost every
agent known, while it takes a polish
which is practically indestructible. It
can be used for the most diverse pur
poses. New York Telegram.
