Mr. Kinney was well and favorably known in The Dalles. tie came nere about V years ago as spec ial agent of the land department to ad just the donation land claims of the state. He was also one of the commis sioners appointed to . appraise the Fort uaiies property. He was the first regis tier of the land office at Yakima. Wash. and since his retirement from that office he has been engaged in the practice of law. Many of his old time acquainten ances at this place will be sorry to hear" of his demise. .

The commissioner of the general land office has notified registers and receivers that his construction of the - new land law is that no one who already owns 160 acres of land in this country can get any more under the provisions of the homestead act. Astorian. The Astorian is mistaken. An enn nirv at The Dalles land office elicits the fact that no such orders have, been received here. Nor could'there be for the statute is sufficiently plain, on the subject. As the law stands, no man owning ''more than 160 acres of land in any state or territory" can make a homestead entry, and a homestead applicant must make an affidavit to that effect at the time of making his application. We regret to learn that Mr. A?S. Mac allister received a very severe injury- to one of his hands and arm, at his ranch, on the John Day. He was' handling a colt and the halter rope in some way got round one of his feet, as the colt scared and made a dash through . a gate drag ging Mr. Macallister with it. With great presence of mind Mr. M., caught the gate post with one arm as he was ing dragged through the entrance checked the progress Of the animal pulling out his knife with the free , arm he opened the blade with his teeth and cut the rope, thus saving himself from Deing dragged to death. One hand was so severely injured that -the sinews were laid open. i be- and till Some Heoteh-Irlshnien. The following list of "Scotch Irishmen" containing such names as "Sullivan", ."Barry "Butler," "Kearney' "M Donongh'" "O'Hara," and "CarroLV reminds us of a story that a well known citizen of this county- tells on himself. " The gentleman in. question has a very large hook nose and he relates that a stranger once accosted him and said, "Ain't you a Jew?" The gentleman answered f'No", whereupon the stranger said, "Then, by-jimminy, you have got a Jew's nose."- O'Hara, Sullivan, and Kearaey may have been Scotch Irishmen but their names have a remarkable sa-. vor ; of a-genuine native of the soil adoiit them.' ' Population continues steadily to 'drift to the cities. According to a bulletin issued by the census office, giving the population of the cities in the countrv containing 8,000 . inhabitants or more, the total urban population in 1880 was 18,235,670 or 29.12 per cent, of the popu lation, as against an urban population of 11.318.547 nr 22.R7 nor fnt in ISQft The proportion of urban population has increased irraduallv during the -oast cen tury from 3.35 up to 29.12 per cent., or from one-thirtieth up to nearly one-third of the total population. The increase was Quite reeular from the besinniner nn to 1880, while from 1880 to 1890 it made a leap of 22.57 up to 29.12 per cent. The numberof cities having a popula tion of more than 8.000 infrpustvl from R in 1700 to 280 in 1880, whence it leaped to 443 in 1890. In 1880 there was but one city, JNew York, which had a popu lation in excess of 1.000.000. In 1890 there were three. New York. Chicaaro and Philadelphia. In 1870 there were but fourteen cities, each containing more than 100,000 inhabitants. In 1880 this thin niimtipr huH inivniiHi t.rk twontw and in 1890 to twenty-eight.

The woeful expression of a Des Moines teamster's countenance showed his deep anxiety was not entire ly without cause, when he inquired of a druggist of the same city what was best to give a baby for a cold? It was not ne cessary for him to say more, his counte nance showed that the pet of the family, if not the idol of his life was in distress. "We give our baby Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," was the druggist's answer. "I don't like to give the baby such strong medicine," said the teamster. You know John Oleson, of the Watters-Talbot Print ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug gist. "His halve , . wj j n "vu suvi,aj. lUVUtUQ old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and drank the whole of it.
