FOSTER HAS ASSIGNED
Ex-Secretary of tie Treasury in Fi
nancial Trouble.
MUCH EXCITEMENT IN F0ST0RIA
His Assets and Liabilities Not Yet Ac
curately Known Wall Street
Not Astonished.
Fostaria, O., May 26. Ex-Secretary
of the United States Treasury Charles
Foster and the banking house Foster &
Co., have assigned. There is great ex
citement at Fostoria.
This city was shaken to its circum
ference this morning by the announce
ment of the Foster assignment, as it
was recognized this meant the downfall
of some of Fostoria's most prominent
institutions. The assignment was made
to J. B. Gormley, president of the First
National bank of Bucyrus, of the bank
ing house of Foster & Co., the wholesale
house of Davis & Foster and Charles Fos
ter individually. The affairs of the
Mambury Crock & Calcined Glass Co.,
the brass and iron works and the Fos
toria Light & Power Company are so in
volved it is expected they will be in the
hands of an assignee before the close of
the day. Everything is in a chaotic
condition. The bank carried several
hundred thousand dollars in deposits,
and had negotiated loans for the brass
works and glass houses, giving its own
indorsment. This caused the crash.
Banks holding the governor's paper de
manded payment, and having so much
paper out. he was unable to respond.
Governor Foster has issued a statement
expressing his deep distress and humilia
tion over the failure, saying his indor
sement for the window glass companies
and the brass and iron works company
were very large and precipitated the
failure.

USED AS A TRANSPORT.
A Missins Nicaragua
covered.
Steamer Dls-
Panama, May 26. It has been learned
that the Nicaragua Canal Company's
lake steamer Victoria, the whereabouts
of which had been shrouded in mystery,
is being used as a troop transport boat
by the revolutionists. As such it was of
great service in conveying 500 soldiers,
commanded by General Montiel, to San
Carlos, which fort was surrendered to
the insurgents on the 12th inst, without
a shot being fired. Inasmuch as Roma,
the most important point on the Mos
quito Coast, is in the hands of the revo
lutionary generals Chamberlain and
Alfaro, thee is no doubt but what San
Juan Del Norte will be quietly sur
rendered. The proclamation of Natiago
Morales as president is not construed as
a temporary makeshift to give credit to
the revolutionary party.
Wall Street Not Astonished.
New York, May 26. The Foster fail
ure caused no astonishment in Wall
street. In certain circles it was known
for some time the firm was in a tight
place for money. One banker said Fos
ter had been caught between seed time
and harvest. The trouble with him, he
said, was he was interested in too many
things.
Crops in Russia.
St. Petersburg, May 26. Abundant
warm rains, followed by sunshine, have
improved the prospects of harvest. On
the whole, crops promise be fairly good.
Most of the winter crops, however, in
Podolia, Kief, Ekaterinoslav and Khar
kov are ruined. The spring crops will
be excellent.

United States District Attorney Gil
christ said it would be impossible to
prepare a bill tor an injunction in time
to prevent the opening of the world's
fair gates next Sunday.

MOS1ER MUSINGS.
A Batch or News from 70 to 5,000
Years Old.
This is "Sub's" head, but I under
stand that it is not copyrighted, and as
it is large enough for two, I use it with
out permission.
It has long been predicted that the
Pacific slope would some day produce a
literary genius. The genius has ap
peared, and his sun is gradually rising.
Ella Higginson, Ambrose Bierce, Madge
Morris, Bret Harte, Joaquin Miller,
Mark Twain and William Edgar Nye
have eaeh attained some literary fame,
but I guess that it is left to Mosier,
Wasco county, Oregon, to produce the
star of the Pacific slope. The holy land
had its Nazareth, Indiana its Posey
county, Illinois its Egypt, Jerusalem
its Hades, and Oregon has its Mosier.
Your readers will remember what came
out of some of these backwoods places
named, including the Savior of the
world, and, not irreverently speaking,
Abraham Lincoln, who spoke universal
liberty. How, then, can Mosier, the
prosiest of all, fail to produce its genius?
Well, this is enough upon that point,
and I will try to give you some news.
It has been discovered by a Mosierite
who it was that struck Billy Patterson.
This question, you will remember, has
been one of the most perplexing ones of
the last 4897 years, and no one seemed
to know, who would swear to it. Your
correspondent was informed, from an
authentic source, that it occurred on
Noah's ark, the 39th day out. Billy
was talking loud at the supper table.
His remarks were frequent, though
brief, and reflected discredit upon Mr.
Noah, the owner and proprietor of the
vessel, when Ham, Mr. Noah's son,
slapped him overboard and he was
drowned. Billy's folks were well con
nected and well to do, and well thought
of before the flood, but they were all
drowned and this case was nolle prossed
by the district attorney for want of tes
timony. I have been reading "An Article on
Railroads" from the Indiana Journal of
May 8th, 1827, that would be of interest
to your readers, but the paper looks so
much like a smoked ham that it is hard
to get the full meaning of the writer.
He says railroads are of two kinds, the
tram road and the iron rail, with a
turned up edge to keep the wheels on
the track, and that a horse car can draw
much more on a railroad than on a dirt
road. I see from the same paper that
Buell & Dunn of Crawfordsville propose
to sell goods lower than the same qual
ity of goods has ever been sold in the
state, for "pfy in hand," which means
spot cash ; that they will pay the high
est price for country linen, beeswax,
tallow, coon skins and feathers ; they
also keep on hand salt and whisky by
the barrel, which they bind themselves
to sell at the Cincinnati cash prices.
The arrival and departure of the
mails to and from Indianapolis are pub
lished as follows: "From Centerville,
on Saturday 9 a. m., departs immedi
ately ; from Brook ville, arrives on Mon
day and Friday, departs immediately ;
from Vernon, arrives on Thursday ; from
Princeton, every other Thursday; from
Washington every week. The office will
not be opened on Sunday. Persons ex
pecting mail should bring the postage
(money) with them, as no trust can be
given.
"Henry Clay has been spoken of as
the probable Whig candidate for the
presidency in the coming national elec
tion. "General Jackson is criticised for the
lack of civil and diplomatic attainments
to fit him for the presidency.
"The Kankakee Indians, on the bead
waters of the Illinois river, are said to
be in a state of wretchedness for want
of provisions, and are eating their dogs
and horses to keep from starvation.
Governor Cass has ordered supplies for
them."
A citizen of Mosier has a (flint lock
musket, a British piece, made in 1682,
214 years old, found in 1885 on the
plains near the Turtle mountains. This
gun will be exhibited at the next county
fair. It should have been sent in the
Oregon exhibit to the world's fair.
This town is called "The New Jeru
salem" by some here, but I think that
is a nickname, and is not, strictly speak
ing, to be considered a compliment. It
offends the writer to see people so famil
iar with things that do not belong to
them. Mosier is the proper name of
this station. Dont let Rev. D. O. know
about this town, or he might get a map
of "The New Jerusalem" and go east
and sell it.

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report.
ABSOLUTELY PURE
A Precedent for It.
In the fall of 1889 the writer of this
was in Harney valley, and was greatly
surprised on going down to the lakes
there, to find that Malheur lake, which
in 1877 was a body of water about 8 by
15 miles in area, had dried up, until
there was remaihing only a shallow mud
pond of two or three miles in diameter.
This great change has been brought
about by a series of dry seasons and
light snowfalls in the surrounding
mountains. That this condition of
drouth has happened in that region be
fore, and for a very long period of time,
there is abundant proof. In the lowest
part of the recently dried up lake bed
was to be seen the deadened trunks of
the mammoth sage brush, so plentiful
in that region. These old trunks were
still standing where they grew. Now,
when it is understood that Harney val
ley is a great basin with no outlet, and
that the whole valley has once been a
lake, it can be seen that the lakes there
now only exist through the medium of
the rains and snows on the streams run
ning into them. If we could tell how
long it was after the waters dried up be
fore these ancient sage brush began to
grow, and then how old they were when
the water covered them, we could tell
how long the great drouth lasted. Un
less our climate here has undergone a
great change since then we could rea
sonably expect the same things to occur
again. Our people complain of the dry
seasons here for the past few years,
What would their condition have been
then, when our great lakes dried up
and nothing could have been seen in
that vast region but parched and barren
waste.
His Appearance Was. Timely.
"May I ask you, madam," inquired
the gentlemanly caller at the front
door, removing1 his hat, "if there has
been a large and . successful cooking
school in this neighborhood for some
weeks?"
"There has," replied the lady.
"Some member of your family has
been in attendance, perhaps," he ven
tured. "Yes. Two of my daughters attend
it."
"Ah!" rejoined the caller, pleasantly.
"A srood cooking school is one of the
adjuncts of an advanced civilization. I
am always interested to notice the ad
Vance of a community in the knowledge
of the gentle arts and sciences that go
to make up the sum of human happi
ness. But I have allowed myself to for
get the business upon which I have
ventured totcall," he continued, briskly,
opening a small valise. "I am introduc
ing a small but comprehensive work,
entitled: 'The Horrible Curse of Dys
pepsia and Indigestion; How Cured and
How Removed.' The price is only
seventy-five cents, and I can assure yon,
madam Thanks. Good morning!
Chicago Tribune.

President Cleveland's Pocket Piece.
The president recently received a sil
ver half dollar which was coined in the
year of his birth, 1887. It came "from
Andrew Jackson Long, of Tennessee,
who is, as a matter of course, a demo
crat. The medium of the gift was
Representative Washington, who pre
sented it, and with it a letter from the
donor. The missive asked the presi
dent to carry it as a pocket piece, as
suring him that if he did so he would
be always lucky, and could catch fish
while other men stood around and
swore with vexation or wept with de
spair. When this assurance reached
the president's eye the half dollar
slipped into his trousers' pocket with
a deftness of motion that Hermann's,
self would have envied.
