A recent measure, introduced in the
house by Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska, and
which is said to be favorably regarded
by the ways and means committee, is a
"bill to amend the act to protect trade
and commerce against unlawful re
straints and monopolies. It provides
that whenever any United States circuit
urt shall find in a case pending before
It that any contract, combination or
conspiracy in restraint of trade or com
merce, exists in respect to any article
which is subject to tariff duty, it shall
report the facts to the president, who
shall issue a proclamation placing such
article on the free list. Whenever such
article is subject to a tax under 'the internal-revenue
laws the duty on such
article shall be equal to such tax. And
after the date fixed in the proclamation
the article shall be admitted when im
ported into the United States subject to
a duty qual to the internal-revenue tax.
The Spokane Review nominates -Robert
Lincoln as a compromise candidate
for Minneapolis. It says: "At this
critical moment the presidential light
ning is playing about the head of Robert
Lincoln. The Blaine workers are not
unmindful of the magic spell that lies in
an nonorea name, anl they cannot Jail
to consider the splendid opportunity
herein presented of stampeding the con
vention for a man whose name alone
would arouse tremendous enthusiasm.
In the event of the defeat of Mr. Har
rison the party cannot possibly strike
upon a happier choice. Mr. Lincoln
lias created no antagonisms. If he were
nominated you could almost count upon
the fitlfrerR nf ft nincrlf hnnd fha pnnnKTt-
'caiiB who would bolt the ticket.. He
could awaken intense enthusiasm, and
.lie could poll the full vote of the party.
In these lie the chief elements of vic
tory. "
One of the most interesting features of
;the Methodist conference, just closed at
-Omaha, was the singing of ten deaf and
dtimb young ladies from the Omaha in
Htitute. Chaplain McCabe led in sing
ing "The Home of the Soul" and"Near-
er, My God, to Thee," and these mutes,
led in the sign language by their teacher,
gave to the audience their rendering of
Uhese familiar hymns. The. effect was
thrilling,, and, indeed, almost over
Mwhelming. Their expressive gestures
.-and serious countenances made the scene
full of genuine pathos, and no' sermon
from any preacher has so elegantly
preached the gospel to the people as
these unfortunate people have done by
have been an attraction at all of the re-.
cent evening entertainments;
The Lewtston Teller thinks it is "high
time" that tho people of that section
should jise every endeavor to secure the
opening of the JHet Perce reservation.
The allotment will be finished this vear
--and by the time congress could take ac
tion in the matter 'it.' will all' be- com
pleted ready for adisposal'df the remain
der to actual settlers. Speculators are
watchingfor the opening, settlers are j
watching tu event and railroads are on
the alert. The reservation is the key to
-th stimulation, and now that the allot
ment M ill eoon be in shape to finish the
'work, it is to the interest of Lewistoti in
particular to see that something is .done
'dtuuiediately toward. pressing the matter

PRESENCE OF MIND.
How a Man Who Hail It I'rolltrd by th J
.Scheme of One Who Hadn't It.
Presence of mind and bravery in the
face of peril vas beinjy discussed in the
office of W. II. Busenbark. general man
ager of the Maple Leaf route. The cap--sizing
of a yacht off the lake front the
day before suggested the theme. After
listening to the thrilling experiences
which each of the group present related
and somehow on the occasion of an
exceptional accident ieople are prone to
talk thrillingly of what they have passed
through themselves Mr. Busenbark told
a story.
He did not need to call onr fancy to
his aid to give interest to his tale.' He
had been the central figure in the well
remembered burning of the Newhall
hotel, in Milwaukee, being the only per
son above the second floor who did not
perish in the terrible fire. -
Referring to the manner in which he
escaped, he said he owed his life to the
fact that a man who was burned to ashes
in the flames the sairie night told him
how he would try to save his life in case
of fire. '
"This is how it was, boys," said Mr.
Busenbark. "I got orders from my road
to meet one of our agents named Ware,
who was to- be transferred from Detroit
to Milwaukee,' and introduce him to our
patrons in the Cream City. .1, joined
him here in Chicago, and we went to
Milwaukee together. It was the day of
the Newhall hotel tire. On tho trip, by
a strange coincidence, we began talking
about fires. Ware, 1 think, brought up
the topic. Yes, it was Ware: and what
started him on the subject war the fact
that he had witnessed a big fire in the
Western Union building at Detroit, at
which five lives were lost. ' 'Isn't it curi
ous, Busenbark,' said Ware to me, 'how
common sense will desert a man in the
hour of danger? I saw the big fire in
Detroit.
' A number of operators could be
seen standing helplessly and iD wild de
spair at the windows of the Western
Union building. There was a perfect
network of telegraph wirer. within
twenty feet of them, by jumping on
which they might have saved their
lives. But they didn't jump and they
perished. What is puzzling is that the
telegraph wires as a means of escape for
the poor fellows did not occir to me
until after all was over."
" 'No accounting for these things,
Ware,' said I to the Detroit man, and
then we talked about other matters.
"That evening, after arriving at Mil
waukee, we went to the theater. I re
member it as if it was but yesterday.
About It , o'clock we reached the New
hall and wero given a double bedded
room. When I was awakened by the
heat and stifling smoke 1 pulled Ware
out of bed,' and the poor fellow dashed
from the room and toward the staircase.
I never saw him again, alive or dead,
for he was burned to ashes. - I rushed to
one of the windows of my room and
stood for fully half a minute, dazed sod
bewildered. Right under the window
was a network of telegraph wires. . Poor
Ware's story of the Detroit incident
flashed across my mind. '
"1 jumped toward the wires, and all
that I remember is that 1 grabbed them.
They told me afterward that I hung on
for abont a minute and then fell to the
pavement below. I was put among the
dead in the old bank across from the
hotel, but I revived, and two months
later 1 was able to walk.
"Ware inspired me with the idea that
saved my life, and while he had the
same opportunity as 1 had ho . did not
avail himself of it.
"It is idle. boys, to talk of what one
would be sure to do under given circum
stances. There is no" accounting for
what a man will do when he is looking
into the jaws of death."
All the boys looked thoughtful and
agreed that it was fx. Chicago Herald.
Effective Use or KnUalt.
No accomplishment excels a thorough
mastery of English.. Those .who have
acquired it are the .most cultivated and
scholarly men and women of our age.
This superiority frequently passes un
noticed, for it has a certain subtle qual
ity like the delicate odor of roses. On
reading or listening to the best English
we never think of the form of expression,
and not till afterward, when the clear
ness of our conception reveals itself , do
we notice the beanty and the appropri
ateness of the language. -To use English
appropriately, elegantly and forcibly im
plies not only a thorough knowledge of
tne language itself, but also a broad cul
ture. - It implies both connected, logical
thought and the ability to clothe the
thought grammatically, rhetorically and
connectedly in fit language. A style as
massive and majestic as that of Burke or
Macaulay renders any man immortal.
The grace of Irving and the copious flu
ency of Scott fascinate the reader; and
the power to write with the eloquence of
Mr. George ;William Curtis, President
Eliot or .Co toner Higginson would recon
cile almost, -anybody, to being ;a ,Mug-wump.-r-Education.r.

The-Face of m Clock. ' 11
An "excellent way to test a man's powers-
of observation is to ask him to draw
tha dial -of .a clock, t Most , persons set
down Fv for four, instead of the four
straight, lines usual on dials, and few
remember that all the-letters pf the diai
stand with their bases toward the cen
ter. It has been demonstrated that all
persons .ordinarily read a iclock dial by
the position of the figures and-disregard
the figures tliemselves- . .
' One of the best- known public dials in
a 'provincial :towu has', no. mark save a
st raight line at each of the places usually
occupied bv the Roman nuineralsv and
the maker of the-great 'clock of ;.the
houses of parliament made another great
diaLupon .which he indicated each hour
by a single straight line. It. has been
found, however,, that-while most persons
have no accurate knowledge' of dials,
any marked departure from the usual
rule iaithe'Tnarking'of watch faces or
house clocks is easily detected. --A dial
bearing IV instead of four straight lines

TO THE PUBLIC. It having come
to our knowledge that a party in
The Dalles in selling lime has made the

brands than the "Oregon" because they
are better, thereby implying that the
"Oregon" is an inferior article, we desire
to state that the "Oregon" is the strong
est lime on the market; that it ibUI work
inore plastic and leave the work when set
stronger and firmer than anyfttlier lime at
present manufactured in either Oregon
or Washington. Wm. Butler& Co., Agent
at The Dalles for the "Oregon" lime, are
instructed to fumih,free of charge,, any
and all Oregon lime, which does rot fully
come up to the stipulations above set
forth. The object of this notice is solely
to defend our goods against the false im
putations and statements of any person
whatsoever. The Or. Marble and Lime
