Coroner William Michell
The Salem grange haa resolved that
"Whereas, it is shown by national sta
tistics that capital invested in agricul
ture does not yield more than 3 percent.
- therefore resolved, that farmers should
not carry on their business on borrowed
money at the current rates of interest ;
that we are opposed to the credit system
and the tnorgage system." If this is in
tended to discourage the practice of go
ing in debt it is a step in the right direc
tion. It is true beyond a question that
ordinarily a farmer cannot afford to
work on a capital borrowed at the -current
rates of interest, but on the other
hand tens of thousands of western farm
ers have done so and succeeded. What
one has done another may do and no
resolutions passed by any meeting or as
sociation will stop men from borrowing
money or going in debt when there is a
fair prospect of a successful outcome.
The January number of the Forum
has turned the light on the business
methods of the Louisiana Lottery com
pany and for the first time has explained
in brief compass the workings of this
huge fraud. It appears that the total
amount of money taken in per annum
by thelottery, if all its tickets are sold,
is $28,000,000 and the largest possible
amount that can be drawn by the hold
ers of the tickets is $14,000,000 -so that
the lottery puts into its own coffers 47
per cent of all the money it receives and
the sum, in years when there is a good
run in the sale of tickets, amounts to
413,000,000 or more. No wonder the
company is able to buy up a whole state
legislature and that it now has a ticket
of its own in the field with the hope of
renewing its charter for another twenty
five years.
The supreme court of the United
States has just ruled that a shipperover
a railroad cannot be compelled to tes
tify before the interstate commission as
to whether or not he has been allowed
freight rates below the schedule list
fixed for the public. The decision is
undoubtedly right in principle, as a wit
ness cannot be compelled to give testi
mony that may criminate himself; but
if the shipper cannot be made to testify
as to the rates he receives the commis
sion will find it difficult to prove charges
of unfair discrimination against any
body. "The state of Iowa has passed a law
that ought to have a healthy effect on
the tramp nuisance. It declared that
any male person .six teen years of age or
over who is physically able to work, who
wanders about begging or idle and who
cannot show reasonable efforts to secure
employment, shall be deemed a tramp,
sent to jail and put to hard work. - While
in jail he shall not be allowed tobacco,
liquor, sporting or illustrated news
papers, cards or any other means of
amusement. The tramps will no doubt
avoid Iowa like they would an unmuz
zled bull dog.
The Salem Journal, speaking of the
great Objector, says : "A watch-dog of
the treasury is a nice thing to brag
about in a platform but a "very uncom
fortable animal to have around when
you wish a special appropriation, as in
the "case of Governor Pennoyer asking
$430,000 of Holman and the democratic
congress for a portage railway.
The AxtoHan is- responsible for the
statement that John L. Sujlivan has
wired to Washington that in case ot war
with Chili, he'll go down there and help
lick 'em. That settles it. Turn her
loose Mr. Harrison. When Chili sees
John L., coming, she'll get down behind
a log. ' '
The Eugene Guard says that from in
formation received from nearly every
portion of the first congressional district
it appears almost certain that Senator
Veatch will receive the nomination- for
congressman on the democratic ticket.
His integrity and probity the Guard
thinks will insure him a hearty support.
The new Australian ballot law, requires
that the state ticket of each party shall
be filed in the secretary of state's office
at least forty-five days before election
The county ticket must be filed thirty
days before election. ' " '
Ab Exciting Chats After at Baraiag Tag.
Four men struggled for their lives on
burning tug three miles from shore
one morning recently in the gathering
dawn. The men .were the crew of the
tug John A. Miller, suddenly aroused to
find the engine house a mass of flames.'
A gallant struggle to check the flames
was of no avail. With a full head of
steam on the boat was headed for the
shore, but the rapid fire drove the
wheelsman from the pilot house, and
then the blazing and unmanageable tug
plowed the choppy waves in a great cir
cle, the flames swiftly eating their way
to the stern, where the four men stood
helpless against the fury of two ele
ments. They had fought the fire till
almost exhausted, their hands and faces
were burned, and in despair they glanced
in, every direction for a sign that help
was coming.
A mile away east the crew of the tug
Welcome saw the flames of the burning
boat. The throttle was thrown wide
open, and the little boat, with the
whistle tooting hope for the imperiled
crew, plunged through the heavy sea
toward the burning tug. Blazing air
most to the water's edge it was running
a mad race through the waves. Two
brothers of the Welcome's captain were
on the burning boat, and, in danger of a
collision or of catching fire, the Wel
come shot after the Miller on its course.
It -was a thrilling race. Bound and
round the boats went before the Wel
come could touch the Miller. - The four
men crouched astern. The flames leaped
toward them. They were scorching the
faces of the men. With a spurt the
Welcome crushed into the Miller. Three
pairs of arms shot out over the bow
and in a moment two of the four
exhausted men were on the Welcome
and it steered clear of the burning boat.
Another spurt and the rescuers managed
to haul out the other men. Chicago

Aa Island All Ablaze.
The steamer China has arrived from
Hong-Kong and Yokohama. While the
steamer was between Hong-Kong and
Yokohama on the return trip to San
Francisco an imposing sight was wit
nessed by the passengers and crew. .
The great earthquake at Yokohama
had taken place a short .time previous,
and many of the islands in the Yellow
sea were in a state of volcanic disturb
ance. About 7 o'clock on the evening of
Nov. 3 the China was passing the Aleu
tian islands, in Van Dieman's straits,
when suddenly the island of Succa
seemed all ablaze, and flames and lava
shot up to a distance of 800 feet in the
air.
The steamer was twelve miles distant,
and the spectacle as seen from her. deck
was grand. The night was dark and the
eruptions from the crater of the volcano
took place at intervals of about fifty sec
onds. They were accompanied by deto
nations which in the distance sounded
like bombs ermodinsr . And aftur em-Vi
discharge of molten lava and flames the
uuruiug irugments descended like sparks
from a gigantic Roman candle. San

Redeemed After Many Days.
Several vears airo a resident of TWhi '
placed seven five dollar bills for safe
keeping in the fancy piece surmounting
the parlor stove. The latter hardly ever
came into use, and it was his intention
to remove the money on the following
day. It so happened that a few days af
terward some guests arrived at the
house and a fire was started in the stove.
As the stove reddened into a glowing

An Ingot Welching 90,000 Pounds.
The first ingot of nickel steel to be
used in the manufacture of armor plate
for the United States navy was cast in
the open hearth department of the Beth
lehem iron works on Saturday afternoon.
The weight of the ingot is 90,000 pounds.
It is 47 inches thick and 00 inches wide.
The mold in which It was cast weighs
fifty-six tons. This armor plate will be
used on the Maine, now building at the
Brooklyn navy yard. Its casting is the
result of the recent tests at T-"diTi

Theodore Tbomu' Baton.
The baton presented to Theodore
Thomas by the Oermania club, of Chi
cago, is made of the whitest ivory, fif
teen inches long and three-quarters of
an inch thick. It is bespangled with
jewels and arabesque tracings and bears
the initials of the leader in diamonds
and rubies. At the head is an Ameri
can eagle in gold corresponding to an
imperial German eagle at the lower end,
also in gold. Altogether the baton is a
very elaborate work of art. Detroit

Girls Will Furnish the Cuticle.
Several months ago Ernest Schmitz, of
Laporte; Ind., was severely burned with
gasoline, and his physician has decided
that the only way his injuries can be
healed is by skin grafting. As it will
require a considerable quantity of epi
dermis, the young ladies of the Laporte
Charity circle have consented to furnish
the necessary amount of cuticle. Oper
ations will be commenced immediately,
providing the young ladies adhere to
their agreement. Cor. Baltimore Ameri

"Well, Johnny, what are you thank

"Nuthin," said the boy. "1 ain't had

The Bight to Privacy.
, .Two decisions have recently been ren
dered by important tribunals which re
buke" the tendency to interfere with the
right of the citizen to be let alone. - "The
supreme court of Mississippi has decid
ed, in the case of a black man whose
cabin was entered by a party of men
who came to "arrest" him, without war
rant of law, for an alleged offense, and
who shot and killed two of these invad
ers of his house, that a man has a right
to defend himself under such circum
stances. -
The court, in setting this man free,
declared its belief that the home-ehould
have every possible safeguard thrown
around it.
The other decision mentioned is in a
caseof a very unusual character. A cer
tain society proposed to erect a statue of
a deceased and very philanthropic lady
The members of this lady's immediate
family objected, on the ground that
notoriety in any form was wholly dis
tasteful to her, and that, inasmuch as
she was a private citizen, the erection oi
a Btatue of her - was an unauthorized
invasion of privacy.
The supreme court of New York took
this view of- the case and declared that
the wish of her family, representing her
own known desire, should be observed,
and that no public representation of het
should be permitted. Youth's Compan

- A big yearling bear was killed on Fri
day on Little mountain, near Parkers
burg, W. Va., by John Hall, seventeen
years old, and Mont Black, twelve years
of age. The boys were coon hunting in
the mountain when the dogs treed the
bear. They had an old single barreled
shotgun, loaded with bird Bhot and an
ax. They fired the load of shot into the
bear and brought the animal down.
Then the dogs attacked it, but they were
beaten off. One of the boys ran in and
struck at the bear with the ax, but did
not hit it. Young Hall then drew.hu
pocketknife and went at the bear. Ha
was pretty badly scratched and severely
bitten on the fingers, but stuck to the
brute until he cut the bear's jugulai
vein. The boys dragged home the body
in triumph. Cor. New York Sun.
Curlons Marrying Mistake.
At the parish church of Brierly Hill,
on the borders of the Black country, a
curious mistake occurred a few days
ago. A bridal party by some means oc
cupied their wrong places, and the bride
was married to the best man, who was
engaged to marry her sister. During
the ceremony the bride had some ides
that the proceedings were hardly as they
should be, as the bridegroom 6tood be
lli nd her and the best man, and handed
the ring to the latter. On the othei
hand, the best man made the necessary
responses. Happily the error was dis
covered before the register had been
signed and . the ceremony was gone
through a second time, care being taken
that the right man waa wedded to th
bride. London Tit-Bits.
A Cricket Bowling Machine.
Recently a patent bowling machine
for the use of cricketers, for practicing
purposes, was exhibited in England,
where the unerring aim of the mechani
cal cricketer knocked out the middle
stump of the most expert, batsman that
stood before it. The length of pitch, di
rection and movement of the ball can bs
produced within wide ranges with great
facility. The aim, sighted as after the
manner of marksmen, is regulated from
a dial, and the ball, thrown from a re
volving iron hand, is capable of bowling
over or under hand with great accuracy,

Divorced in Fifty-seven Seconds.
In the district court at Galveston Fri
day the suit of Mattie Brooks against
her husband, William Brooks, was on
the docket for trial. The case was called
by Judge Stewart, but the defendant did
not appear. The plaintiff's attorney arose,
read the petition, alleging the statutory
requisitions and setting forth the cause
of action, put a witness on the stand and
examined him, and secured the sanction
of the court to the entree of a decree of
divorce, all having been done in exactly
fifty-seven seconds. Exchange.
Mining from a Balloon.
Think of a mining enterprise con
ducted by soaring aloft in a balloon.
There are many ore producing ledges on
the precipitous sides of hills in the Rocky
mountains. These ledges are so lofty as
to be inaccessible by ordinary methods;
therefore, Mr. S. C. Rees, an experienced
miner, proposes to reach them by means
of an anchored balloon. This will en
able him to secure foothold on the
ledges and make entrances through the
sides of the precipitous hills. Yankee

then lovingly reflected that his daughter
might also need something to comfort
