A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
The search for little Gladys Miller
who bo mysteriously disappeared from
- her home in Eastern Opegon six months
ago, has come to a fruitless ending.
The circumstances surrounding the
child's disappearance, and the eagerness
with which the slightest clues which
might lead to her restoration to her
iome have been followed by her father,
with one unvarying result, combine to
snake the case one of the most pitiful re
corded in the annals of this section.
The little girl has not been seen since
one afternoon in September when, on
going out to play, she vanished as com
pletely as if the earth had opened and
' Bwallowed her. Since then her father
lias unceasingly searched for her. Be
lieving her to have been stolen by gyp
sies he has visited every encampment
he could hear of, often following vague
rumors which proved to be without
foundation, and always returning disap-
pointed. In the six months that have
elapsed since the disappearance of his
child he has traveled over 3,000 miles
ind has visited almost every portion of
the three northwestern states. His last
visit was to the Yakima reserve, where
be had, been informed a white child was
living with some Indians, and from this
fruitless mission he returned but a -few
days ago. .
The eager search, the hope, always
deferred, and the final termination of
the father's quest touch a sympathetic
chord in the hearts of all. The burden
would be easier for the parents to bear
were the child known to be in her grave,
sinee life may possibly hold in store for
her a future to which death would be in
finitely preferable. As it is, the agony,
the doubts and fears, must ever abide
with them if the forlorn hope fails that
an offered ransom can accomplish more
than the father's personal search could.
Review. '
The Salt Lake Tribune ad voocates im
ported sermons on the same principle
that when the minister gives out a hymn
to be sung, he does dot pretend that he
wrote either the music or the words, but
the congregation like the hymn just as
well, probably better, and thinks the
minister should give proper credit some
thing after this style: "My brethren,
it was an off week with me last week.
If I had insisted upon trying to write a
sermon, you would all have gone to sleep
today under its inf i?tion. Anticipating
that I should have such a day now and
then, I sent to London and purchased a
sermon for five shillings, which I am
able to retail to you, because there are a
good many other clergymen just like me,
and the venders and manufacturers of
Jthe sermons can deliver them to the
crowd cheaply. I wish to say, in ad
vance, that if this sermon were manufac
tured at home it would be worth $30. It
is genuine goods. The religious part of
it is' from orthodox sources, and it was
no slouch who put the matter together.
Hence, I do not want you to think I am
giving you a spurious article, for, in
point of fact, there is more brains in this
sermon than I could ever put into one
to save my life. My only object is to
-save your souls at least expense to my
self if possible, so here goes." Now, if a
minister would do that, there would be
a curiosity on the part of the people to
see what he had been able to gather
during the week and there would be a
grand rush to church on Sunday. The
more we think of it the more it seems
to us like a good device.
The straw which broke Sacramento's
back, says the Telegram,. was the recent
publication in the Bee of an illustrated
article which showed up the California
eolons in an unenviable light. It was a
description of a midnight legislative
orgy, where there was more wine and
women than lawmaking. It was an in
stance of where it did not pay to tell the
truth. ' San Jose profited by the mia
lake of the Sacramento paper. The
legislators who were exposed became
incensed and voted against Sacramento,
publicly denounced the Bee and repudi
ated all responsibility for the public
tion, but that did not placate the legis
lators whose follies had been paraded
before the public. If the capital goes to
San Jose, it will probably be with the
implied understanding that the legisla

Seotlaad and the TbUtla.
The thistle was selected as the national
emblem of Scotland in the year 1010. It
was during the reign of Malcolm 1 that
a notable invasion of the country was
made by the Danes. They came in
thousands; and landing on the coast
swarmed over ttte inhabited districts
like locrista. destroying, burning and
plundering wherever they went. . For
safety the inhabitants fled to the castles
and fortified towns, and among the most
notable of the fortresses of Aberdeen
shire was Staine's castle, where were
collected a large number of people of
the neighborhood.' The Danes projected
a surprise. Approaching the castle in
the darkness they planned to scale its
walls, and laid aside their shoes that the
greater secrecy might be observed when
drawing near to the fortifications.
The surprise might have been success
ful had it not been for the fact that, on
descending into the dry moat, they
found, to their great discomfiture and
mortification, it was filled with thistles,
by which their feet were so severely
pricked that several made an outcry,
which aroused the defenders of the castle
and brought them to the wall in time to
repel the onset. Regarding their good
fortune in repelling the Danes as due to
the thistles, these plants were immedi
ately placed in the arms of Scotland and
adopted as the emblem of the country.

The Scorpion's 'Wonderful Kar.
I have studied the habits of the scor
pion for many years, and have often
noticed how very sensitive scorpions are
to the most delicate Bound, musical
or otherwise. Under the thorax the
scorpion has two comblike appendages,
which are the antenna (pectinatae). It is
pretty well settled by physiologists and
entomologists tnat in insects the an
tennae represent the "Organs of hearing.
These delicate " structures are easily
affected by the vibrations of Bound, and
there can be no doubt whatever that
they are also affected by sounds quite
inaudible to the human ear.
The slightest vibration of the at
mosphere, from any cause whatever, at
once puts in motion the delicate struct
ures which compose the atennaa,. to
which organs insects owe the power" of
protecting themselves against danger
as well as the means of recognizing the
approach of one another. London Spec

The suit of A. S. Collins and Mrs. A. 8. Collins
against H. Herbring of this city, which was to
come before the jury yesterday morning, was
egain postponed. This suit against one of our
oldest and best-known dry goods merchants
creates considerable comment in commercial
circles. It appears that Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Col
lins obtained under false pretenses and promises
at the end of the year 1891, goods to the amount
of $50.80 from the defendant; but instead of pay
ing the bill, as agreed, they shortly afterwards
left the city by night and moved to California.
Last spring Mr. Herbring learned that all their
household goods, etc., were in the hands of the
sheriff of Wasco county, and consequently placed
a second attachment upon the goods held by the
sheriff. A portion of these goods were sold last
December by the sheriff of Wasco county, as no
