Dr. Crossby the veterinary surgeon

to examine into the cattle disease which
has been so fatal this winter. '
Ten carloads of cattle were fed at the
stockyard Monday, and eight yesterday.
Fonr carloads of sheep were shipped
yesterday, but today there is no business.
It is to be hoped the company will put

The cars are so crowded now that it is
almost impossible to find a seat.

up on last night's passenger and is quite
indisposed, so much so, that he is con-
JTt .... - . . .

The leaden skies today give promise of
copious showers, but the season has been
eo remarkably dry that like the portage
railroad bill we can have but little con
fidence in promises, until we see. them
fulfilled.
r The bill extending the .time for pay
ment of taxes, in Washington, to March
1st has become a law. Parties who have
. paid the 10 per cent penalty on delien
quent tax since January 1st can proba
bly the recover the same. .'

It is dollars against nickels that the
portage railroad bill is not kept, as it has
been for nearly two weeks, in the com
"mittee for nothing, and that the intent is
to kill the bill. It is also a safe bet that
unless our citizens .get a vigorous move
on themselves the new charter hill will
be hypnotized. : . :

unknown disease the symptoms of which
. ."are similar to those in blind staggers.
The state veterinary surgeon has ex
amined into the matter but has not yet
made public his opinion.
The testimony in the case of the Hood
River Ditch and Water Co. was filed by
the referee yesterday afternoon. It cov
ers 703 pages of legal cap closely written
and consists of 4234 questions and ans
wers. It will probably furnish the court
. with reading matter, and food for thought
, for some time.
The contract for laying the sewer
through the block bounded by First and
Second, and Union- and Court streets,
phich was let to Mr. Bert Thurston, has
z'hC&Jleen temporarily abandoned owing to
the d,covery that a mistake had been
inadethe survey, and that the sewer
would nave to be laid several feet deeper
than called for in the contract. It will
probably nave lb be re-let.
Our dispatches yesterday mentioned
the shooting of Mr. J. O- Greenwood
and the murder of his wife by robbers at
Napa, Cal., Monday. They were uncle
and aunt of Mr. John Dexter. Thev
were very wealthy people which.no

THK SHOE FACTOBT.
Orders Coming In Krelj

A few days ago the traveling men were
put out soliciting orders for the Boston
Shoe and Leather Company and they
are meeting with excellent success. Mr.
Bobbins ' got one order for six cases of
goods from one firm in Oregon City and
all the way up the valley he is meeting
with like success. Mr. Fraser has been
to Pendleton and one or two other points
and has secured good orders. Work has
began at the factory on the goodB and
they will be pushed right through to
completion. The agents of the company
find they can undersell eastern factories
and furnish a better shoe. The factory
will soon have a large force "of employes
at work.

go Around
Willie Wiley the 12 year old boy, that
conceived the idea of going around the
world in eighty days, and got as far as
New York, and was' sent home to his
parents a couple of weeks ago, has taken
up his logbook and started out again on
a proposed trip, this time, he went west
on yesterday morning's extra. If he
could be put before the mast of a sailing
vessel, probably there would be some
efficacy in a restraint that is required in
such cases.

Congregational Social.
Last evening a large party of friends
met at Mrs." Wilsons handsome ; reel
dence on Union street arid passed a very
pleasant evening, it being the occasion
of a social in the interest of the Congre
gational church and society. There was
a neat little impromptu programme of
instrumental music and singing which
was very acceptable to all. Games,
charades and conundrums served to
while away the evening and all felt the
pervading influence . of the charming
hostess. A neat lunch was served in
connection with the social.
The Hair I'ia.
"A hairpin is a woman's best friend,"
is the heading to an article in an ex
cnange. lias is really absurd. . JJoes a
hairpin ever come home very, late, and
sit around the bed-room,' and' look fool
ih, while she blows it up to its heart's
content? Does a hairpin ever buy new
bonnets,' promise her - in July a sure
enough seal skin for the- cold snap' the
next January or February? And then
stave it off by another piecrust promise
of a season at,Clatsop the next August?
Does a hairpin ever but pshaw, the man
who wrote that article is either a cynical
old bachelor, who dosen't know what he
is talking about, or else he is employed
by some harpin manufacturer.

It is amusing to watch how brokers
and bankers who put their bonds and
stocks in their boxes in the vaults of the
New York Stock Exchange overnight
close them. Some pull away at the han
dle of the lock as though they would
pull it off in their anxiety to make sure
that the box is locked, which action is
largely the result of nervousness; others
take it very easy, give the handle one or
two turns and go off satisfied. One gen
tleman said to another down in the
vaults the other day: "A queer thing
happened some five years ago. I noticed
that the door of a certain box was on the
crack and its key sticking in it. I im
mediately notified Mr. Cole, who is in
charge there, and who at once closed it.
"I then went to the' gentleman who
had forgotten to lock up. 'Oh, it's all
right,' he said; 'I intended to go back.'
But I noticed that he was all in a trem
ble, and that he went over to the vaults
in a jiffy.' He staid there an hour
counting over his securities. There
must have been a million dollars' worth
in that box, for I noticed loans of one
and two hundred thousand dollars apiece.
He didn't even take the trouble to thank
me when I went over and notified him
of his carelessness. Epoch.
A Squaw's Remarkable Journeying;.
In the last century a Chinook Indian
woman, known to Father Huk, a great
traveler and missionary of that period,
while he was with the Indians on what
we now call the Pacific coast, was many
years afterward met by him in Asia.
Through many vicissitudes and strange
experiences she had passed from tribe to
tribe and place to place, always moving
northward, until she reached Behring
strait, and there, having gone out in one
of the large canoes used by the seafaring
Indians of that region, in a great storm
they were driven across the strait to
wreck and death to all save her, and she
wandered on until she met Father Huk
in the interior of Asia. She had not
sought to return, but following the spirit
of adventure bred in her by her strange
experiences she went on to see new lands.

BEAUTY IN DISTRESS.
PsxinmsD Sort of Belle
, a Crowd of Well to Do Women. .' '
Did you ever see a poor and shabby
belle? Such a young lady- stood ' In the
throng of women in a cabin of a Twenty-third
street ferryboat yesterday. At
the first glance you would, not, in all
likelihood, have noted anything peculiar
about her. You would have seen only
a tall, very shapely, modest girl of dis
tinctly genteel appearance. If you had
glanced at her again you would have
been startled, for she presented a picture
as rare as any that we see in the kaleido
scope of life in the metropolis. - For she
was young, well bred, proud, and yet
very, very poor.
She wore a hat of what appeared to be
rabbit skin, evidently home made and
made with great cleverness and taste,
yet showing in other ways than in the
cheapness of the fur that it had never
come from a TnilUnor'f hftrwfo, Moreover,
the fur was bedraggled, as if its wearer
had been out in the rain without an um
brella. Her Newmarket was of gray
cloth and fitted her perfectly but the
cloth was old and had faded, and here
and there were little knots of stitching,
showing that small moth holes had been
carefully sewed up without success, at
concealment. Her gloves were good.bnt
they were of cloth. But it was when her
face was studied that her condition was
made eloquent. Her skin had that waxen
appearance which the human' face dis
plays when the body lackszratritious food.
There was a hint of pathos in her eyes.
and though the lines that were drawn
down and back from her mouth were not
yet deep they were apparent, neverthe
less; they were the lines of sorrow and
of continually enforced self denial. A i
little boy was with her, and when she
spoke to him her voice was soft and
musical. Her choice of words was that
of an educated and refined lady, her
manner was dignified. When she moved
about you saw that one shoe, though
polished, was torn and out of Bhape. She
was very, very poor. And she was con
scious of her condition; indeed, it was
evident that she had not long been as
poor as now. She must have once been
in comfortable cirenmstances.
Very richly dressed ladies crowded
around her, pushed against her, pressed
close to her. Their perfumes filled the
air, their heavy furs slid past her hand
as it hung by her side, their brilliants
flashed in her face. It was a remarkable
gathering of fashionable and wealthy
women. There were mincing. triDning.
fay like young women, some almost in
solent in their pride and ease. There
were chubby, rosy, well nigh stupidly
comfortable little women, swathed in
fur and broadcloth. There were great.
rotund matrons moving luxuriously each
in her own atmosphere of comfort and
plenty.
There were practical, firm looking
young married women "g no dis
play of ornament or superfluity, but bear
ing themselves confidently, as lac King
nothing and asking nothing. All these
surged around the shabby belle as the
boat floated into the pier. They squeezed
her among themselves, they hid her as if
they had swallowed her up. Not one
appeared to notice her, nor did she seem
to be conscious of their presence. . But
she must have noticed it; not a figure, or
a brilliant, or a fur garment, or a whiff
of Bcent could have escaped one so keenly
intelligent as she.' How every person
ality, and every luxury, and every hint
of comfort must have cut her like a knife
thrust 1 New York Sun.
A. Uf Savins Skirt.
"While my wife and I were on oar last
trip to Europe," said a gentleman the
other day, "we met a middle aged lady
who was going over the ocean for her
health, and my wife and she became
great friends. One day, while sitting in
the ladies' private cabin, the lady said.
'Let me show yon my life preserver, and
removing her outer skirt my wife beheld
a skirt that was a cariosity, if nothing
more. Banning up and down the skirt.
at a distance of two or three inches, were
soft, flexible rubber bands abont two
inches wide. They were sewed on at the
side of each band and ran all the way
around the skirt, and at the top they were
all joined to a broad rubber band six
inches wide. At the top of this band
was a rubber tube abont two feet long,
and which ran up the waist in front and
was left resting on the top of the corset.
"Said the lady, 'Yon behold one of my
own- inventions for saving my life. In
case of an accident all I have to do is to
take the end of the robber tube - in my
month, and in two minutes I can fill all
the rubber bands, which are hollow and
air tight, with air. Then tying the tube
in a hard knot I am ready for the waves.
This skirt, when I strike the water, will
spread out in the shape of a pond lily leaf,
and I will rest on it in an upright position
as easy as though reclining on a couch,
and I can float around until picked up.
