The Capitol Journal says Simons will
resort to bribery to carry the amend

necessary. These are bold words and
will probably draw Mr. Simons' fire.
Mr. B. Huntington is in Walla Walla
representing our board of trade in the
waterwav convention which met there
yesterday. Mr. Huntington is thorough

, Our review pf the 'market is without
interest. In mercantile lines our mer
chants have been fairly busy in closing
up last year's business, and as far as
business transactions . are . concerned,
have been satisfactory. ' The present is
fair to average and as the season passes,
with the near approach of spring on us,
the activity is increasing with each week.
Collections for the past month, although
a little close, were fair and compara
tively easy.
Produce receipts have been limited
Wheat transfers from first hands to the
buyer have been in excess of the preced
ing week. About 3600 centals have been
sold and shipped from the Moody ware
house at . prices ranging from 53 to 54
cents per bushel. The wheat in the
Wasco warehouse, which is on storage,
is not being offered for sale, and there
has been none received during the past
week. Buyers are offering as high as 56
cents per bushel for Al.
Eastern and foreign markets are as
fluctuating as ever and to conjecture
what the future will bring is idle specu
lation. Chicago's May delivery quota
tion is 99 ; New York, 1.04.
Portland's market remains unchanged

little higher. Valley is quoted $1.25
1.26J4"; Eastern Oregon, $1.151.16.

since last week .56 for- No. 1 ; .54 for

Oats The oat market is very quiet
and offerings limited at quotations. We

Mil-lstuffs The supply is quite suffi
cient for the demand. We quote bran
and shorts $20.00 per ton. Shorts and
middlings $22.50 $24.00 per ton.
Hay The hay market is weaker, with
lower quotations and want of firmness,
owing to the continued warm weather,
which has checked the usual demand.
Quote, timothy, $17.00 per ton, wheat
hay in compressed bales $12.50. Oat
hay dull sale at $11.0012.00. Al

My Deab Sib : Yours of the 27th inst.
is at hand and contents noted. I have
examined copy of bill you enclosed in
your letter and it fully meets my ap
proval. I would suggest one matter for
your consideration ; might it not be bet

doctor asserts positively now that no
new complications will arise. I feel bet
ter now than at any time since taking
sick, in fact I am very much encouraged
and expect to return home a well man
in the spring.
I am back at the Florence hotel again.
We left the place we were staying at on
account of a defective sewer.
Again thanking you for the interest
you have taken in me during my sick
ness I remain, very respectfully,

A prominent physician and old army
surgeon in eastern Iowa, was called away
from home for a few da vs ; during his ab
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
arterwards used several bottles at var
ious times, tie 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
sale by Snipes & Kinersly.
For slapping a drummer in the face
last week, Willis Kinder, of Waitsburg,
was on Monday fined $20 and cost. No
doubt, Willis felt aggravated, for drum

freshness and smart aleckism, and the
drummer probably deserved it.
The question has been asked, "In

physic but cleanse the whole system and

V A Black Female Samaon.
Freedman's Town, a suburb of Hous
ton, Tex., boasts of a female Samson,
who has nrpeatedly proven herself a
match for any three men that have pitted
their united strength, and who a few
nights ago successfully routed Officer
John Baxter and three of his assistants,
all men of fine physique. The woman
is a negress, as black as night and of a
stature slightly above average, but mag
nificently built and extraordinarily ac
tive. Her grip was such that she was
able to break two of the bones of the
hand of the woman with whom she had
a fracas recently, and it was on the po
lice attempting to arrest her that she not
only was able to prevent them putting
the handcuffs on her, but, taking the
officer and his posse one by one, flung
them out of the house and closed and
locked the door.
Baxter, in particular, is accounted a
man of unusual strength, and is of large
build, but he says bis muscles were as a
child's when compared with those of the
black Amazon. The woman, -whose
name is Caroline Jenkins, is about 30
years old, and is the mother of seven
children. She has been seen to pick up
a barrel of flour and carry it a distance
of several yards without appearing to
overtax herself, and when tested was
found to be able to break with ease a
new grass rope an inch in diameter.
Since her exploit with the police it is
said that a party of gentlemen propose
traveling with her, if she will go, and
give exhilafc.ons of her strength, which
is to be ascribed to no electrical or mag
netic process, but to her muscular de
velopment alone. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Out Partridge Huntliiw.
"Did you ever go a partridge hunting,
and tramp all day through the brush,
tear your clothes half off, get wetter'n a
drowned rat, fall in the mud and never
see so much as a feather?" queried a well
known gunner.
"No, indeed. When and where did all
this happen?"
"Up in Sardinia the other day. Ed
Andre W8, the crack shot of that town,
invited me to come up there and go
shooting, claiming that the birds were
thicker in the woods along Cattaraugus
creek than honey bees in a sweet clover
patch. Of course I went; but I came
home all broke up."
"And you didn't get a feather?"
"Nary a one. Tried to shoot a chicken
on a hen roost, but the farmer caught
me at it and chased me four miles with
out a let up. Andrews killed a chipping
bird and a red squirrel, that's all.
But you brought home some birds?"
Very true, I bought them on the
market, the same as the other Buffalo
boys do. Let's see, it cost me about $30
in cash, and I've got to buy a new suit
of clothes and a new hat. Bet your
boots I don't go partridge shooting again.
Tired? 1 can't walk; am lame all over,
and feel like a second edition scarecrow.
Andrews walked me all over four towns;
wanted me to invest in real estate, too,
and all that; talked about their great
race track and the metropolitan Sardinia
city of 1990, and filled me so full of
glorious enthusiasm that my head is
cracked from ear to ear. Fun? Well, 1
should snicker, but one dose will last the
lifetime of Methuselah!" Buffalo Com
mercial.
Another Bear Caught by a Cowcatcher.
As the Louisville and Nashville pas
senger accommodation was passing
through Wade's cut, a deep and narrow
passage through the rocks, about eight
miles east of Milan. Tenn., Engineer
George Pendor was surprised . to see a
big brown bear come into the cut at the
west end, about ten rods away. The
bear stopped directly in the middle of
the track, facing the engine. The loco
motive bearing down upon him seemed
to paralyze the bear, and he was perfect
ly motionless until the engine was with
in thirty feet of him, when he arose on
his haunches preparatory to a spring.
The train was running at the rate of
twenty miles an hour through the cut,
and seeing that he might wreck the
train by a collision with bruin Engineer
Pender shut off steam. As the train
came in contact with the bear his hind
legs opened, and he fell forward on the
cowcatcher, clawing savagely at the
hard wood. He seemed stunned or be
wildered at the strange occurrence, and
did not manifest any inclination to get
off. He rode into town on the cow
catcher, and was shot and killed. Cor.

The Deceiving Safety Parse.
A safety purse has made its appear
ance over the ocean. It can be laid
down without any fear that the con
tents will disappear. Many women have
an unhappy knack of leaving their
purses about, and it is to these that the
safety purses appeal. They are a puzzle
to the uninitiated. A purse with silver
mounts . will have the opening spring
hidden away in one corner, yet all the
corners look the same. The way to open
another is to turn the spring right round.
Another purse deceives you into the be
lief that the bottom is the top. New
York Journal.
The original She of Rider Haggard's
famous story is said to be a swarthy po
tentate named Majajai, whose kraal was
lately re-enforced by certain unprovoked
captures from a neighboring tribe. For
this offense she was fined 300, and for
the greater offense of refusing to pay
was mulcted in the sum of 1,000 and
800 head of cattle, which the native com
missioner of the Transvaal has now set
out to collect from this defiant Boadicea
with two cannon and a force of - armed
