The county, treasurer .of Crook adver tises to pay all county warrants registered prior to January 12th, 1691. This is a very good showing for Crook county. The town of Medford in this state had a municipal election on the 12th, under the new election law. The working of the new law gave great satisfaction. President Harrison is reported to have stated at a cabinet meeting held on the 12th that the Chilian suituation was more serious than at any previous time. He had found nothing that indicated the least regret on the of Chili for the outrage The state land board has made a for mal order to the effect that hereafter no certificates should be isued to intending purchasers of uneurveyed school lauds. The ruling is opposed to tho practice that has been pursued for" years and it shows that the hoard is favorable to actual settlement as opposed to specula.' tive purchase. Politicians have long memories and it can scarcely be doubted that had W. L. Hill not been connected with the Cranio affair in 1876 he would have been ap pointed to the vacant federal judgeship in the ninth district. As it is, he seems to bo completely out of the race and the president's objection to him has taken the form that any one who received any of Tilden's money could not be consid ered eligible for a judgeship in this administration. A viUanious brute named Andrews in -Muskegon, Mich., fraudulently placed his wife in a private insane asylum and then eloped with a wealthy Miss Me Greggor of Jacksonville, Ills. Andrews and Miss McGreggor have gone to Paris. The wronged wife has been left penni--less with two small children, one of "whom was born while Mrs. Andrews was in the asylum. It is just such vil lians as Andrews that make a burning hell a moral necessity under the govern-' ment of a righteous God. There arc some things" railroad com- -i pan is cannot do.

MENTAL TELEGRAPHY. INFLUENCE OF MIND ON MIND STRONGLY ILLUSTRATED. A Strange Story of Thought Trauimii Ion Two Well Known Men Conceive the Same Ides at About the Same Time. An Odd Experience of Mark Twain's. -" Now I come to the oddest" tiling that ever happened to me. Two or three years ago I was lying in bed idly musing one morning it was the 2d of March when suddenly a red hot new idea came whistling down into my camp and ex ploded with such comprehensive effec tiveness as to sweep the vicinity clean of rubbishy reflections and fill the air with their dust and flying fragments. This idea, stated in simple phrase, was that the time was ripe and the market ready for a certain book; a book which ought to be written at once; a book which must command attention and be of peculiar interest to wit, a book about the Ne vada silver mines. , The Great Bonanza was a new won- vuvu, ouu uyuv was IcUJLinfc i i . ,J . J " about it. It seemed to me that the oer- son best qualified to write this book was Mr. William H. Wright, a journalist of Virginia, Nev., by whose side I had scribbled many months when I was a i reporter there ten or twelve before. Ha j might be alive still; he might be-dead; I . j could not tell: but I would write him to be the plan of the work, he being an old inena, ana not given to taking good in tentions for ill. I even dealt with details and suggested -the order and sequence which they should follow. I was about to put the manuscript in an envelope, when the thought occurred to irie that if this book should be written at my sug gestion, and then no publisher happen to want it, I should feel uncomfortable: sn ! I concluded to keep my letter back until I should have secured a publisher. . READING AN CNOPEXED LETTER. I pigeonholed my document and drop ped a note to my own publisher, asking him to name a day for a business consulta tion. He was out of town on a far jour ney. My note remained unanswered, and at the end of three or four days the whole matter had passed out of my mind. On the 9th of March the postman brought three or fbur letters, and among them a thick one whose superscription was in a hand which seemed dimly familiar to me. I could not "place" it at first, but presently I succeeded. Then I said to a visiting relative who was present: I "Now-I will do a miracle.: I will tell you everything this letter - contains date, signature and all withon t break ing the seal. It is from a Mr." Wright, of Virginia, Nev., and is dated the' 2d of March seven days ago. Sir. Wright proposes to make a book about the silver mines and the Great - Bonanza, aud.asks what I, as a friend,. think-ox the. idea-.. He says his subjects are to be so and so, their order and - sequence so and so, and he will close with a history of the chief featnre of the book. ;the . Great Bonanza." , READ ARIGHT. ' I opened the letter and showed that 1 had stated the date and the contents cor rectly. Mr. Wright's letter simply con tained what my own letter, written on the same date contained, and mine still lay in its pigeonhole, where it had been lying during the seven days since it was written. There was no clairvoyance about this, if I rightly comprehend what clairvoy ance is. I think the clairvoyant pro fesses to actually see concealed writing -and read it off word for word.. This was not my case. " I only seemed to know, and to know" absolutely, the contents of the letter in detail and due order, but I had to word them myself. I translated them, so to speak, out of Wright's lan guage into my own. Wright's letter and the one which I ; had written to him, but never sent, were ! in substance the same. i Necessarily this could not come by ac cident; such elaborate accidents cannot happen. Chance might have duplicated one or two of the details, but she would bave broken down on the rest. . I could not doubt there was no tenable reason for doubting that Mr. Wright's mind and mine had been in close and crystal clear communication with each other across 3,000 - miles of mountain and desert on the morning of March-2i 1 did j not consider that both minds originated that snoceesion of ideas, but . that one mind originated them, and simply tele- graphed them to the other .. acniAii iitiiuiurai, . 1 was carious to know, which brain was the telegrapher and which was the receiver, so I wrote and asked for par ticulars. Mr. Wright's reply showed -that his mind had done the originating and telegraphing and mine the-receiving. Mark that . significant thing now;. Consider for a moment bow many a splendid .."original'' idea has been nn conscionsly stolen from a man 3,000 miles away. . If one should question that this is so, let him look into 'the cyclopedia and con once more that curious thing in the j atory ot inventions which has puzzled ! everyone so mnch-that is, the frequency with which the same machine or other contrivance1 has' been invented at the same time by Beveral persons in differ ent quarters of the globe. 1 "The world was without an electric telegraph for several thousand years; then Professor Henry the American, Wheatstone in England, Morse on the sea, and a Ger man in Munich all invented it at the. same time.

Not many years ago the title of doctoi was considered justly as an honor and an evidence, of sound education and training. : . . - - .- - - . ' ,- - . . . The extraordinary fondness in this country for titles of all kinds, especially those of doctor, professor and colonel or some military equivalent, has taken away all the prestige from the name. The druggist at the corner is a "doctor," the chiropodist is a "professor," and the advertising columns of some newspapers are emblazoned with pictures of these long haired "doctors" and "professors." To .a man who has been-a groom the bestowal of "doctor medicines," no doubt, still confers an honor; but, on the whole, the title has become rather a trade mark and a convenient means of unobtrusive advertisement rather than a badge of distinction . or evidence of scholarly attainment. - . There seems to be a growing feeling that, after all, the title of "mister" is as noble a one as a gentleman needs or can desire. . This is the title that is almost now a distinction among medical men, who feel their own strength and rest on their consciousness of being masters of their art the good old title of "mister," which some of the best men in the profession find ample for all social and professional purposes. It is certainly infiuitely more honorable than any nnacademic or' tjn-' warranted use or the title of "doctor." And I see many indications that this view is shared by the professional and by many who think they have a right by conrtesy to something more. New York Herald. . It Came Off, for Once. "How now! What ho! dear sir," said an old rounder, stopping me at the Wash ington statue in front of Independence hall, "will you allow me, beneath the shadow of this historic building, to speak a few words to you?" "Well, go ahead," 1 said. "For about the fiftieth time I read the Declaration of Independence todav " he continued, "and I pondered lonir and deeply oer it. I believe the whole gist of it is that all men are free and" equal. Am I not right?" "Certainly. But what have 1 to da with t'eaXT I asked. "Everything, my dear sir; everything," he replied. "You are a good American, I know, and that is the reason why I" wished to say to you that men are not free and equal in all cases." - "In what cases are they not?" "Well, take for instance bnr own case " he said with all seriousness. "True, we are both free, but we are not equal. You nave enougu money about yoa to buy a bracer. I have not. Therefore we are not equal. Do I make myself clear!" : "Perfectlv. HVr rnn m Will tan place us upon an equal footing?" . "Undoubtedly. Would that all Ainer- j icans thought, as much of our fnpda- mental principles." ;.: .;. : And lie shot nn the street veioteiBst m". the fact that for- once he was freeAnd -: equal. Philadelphia Pkess. Names it London tHpaetsv ' : . I don't wonder that reformers shudder when it comes to the names of streets. ' I myself have counted twenty-six -King streets, sixteen Qneen streets' and thir teen Duke street in this townf " The same name will repeat itself in street, road place, .crescent and square, upper and lpwer, .east and west, until the brain begins to soften. , We've spent ore shillings in directing cabs to . Gloucester something or otheri when we. ought" to have gone to Olooeester' something else, than I dare tell. Bob declares hell be chained to an ad dress book hereafter. - I suppose good deal of this repetition is due to the greediness with which London swallows up town after town.. But really there is no excuse for baptizing the same streets several times. One street in our neigh borhood, not half a mile, long, has three names. It's a blessing to get into Picca dilly, Oxford street and the Strand, for then I know where I am; but now I come to think of it, 1 don't know any thing of the sort, for Piccadilly runs into Knights bridge, that street runs into several things, the Strand becomes Fleet street at . Temple Bar or, , perhaps; L ought to say, at the place-where Temple Bar once stood and Oxford street loses itself in Qolborn. London Cor.. Kate Field's Washington. Tlie Glow Worm's. Cight. - i;. The English glow worm is . the wing less female of a winged beetle. Some suppose that the light she bears . is .be stowed for heir protection to scare away the nightingale and other nocturnal birds. Others, however, believe that the gift of brightness is the very lure.by which her foes are assisted to discover and devour her. . Much speculation has been indulged in as to the nature of . the glow worm's light, whieh is not put out by water nor seemingly capable of giv ing forth any heat. ,. It lias been asserted; that the light diffusing substance con-' tains phosphorus, .but this -has- never been proved.. Certainly it is incapable of communicating ignition to anything.
