Some daisies, blue violets, bu 'cups, erigenia, Bisyrinchiums and wild pinks were all brought into our office today which were plucked from dooryards in the city. Fresh blooms of marigolds are also noted. Something should be done at once to relieve the town of undesirable charac ters. The more successful robberies that occur the more we may expect. The same measures that were adapted after the big fire might be employed now. Sig Sichel, chairman of the Midwin ter Fair Association of Oregon, at Port land, writes to M. A. Moody, appointed for The Dalles, appealing to the city's pride for financial aid. Those who sub scribe receive certificates of stock there for, the money being merely loaned to the state for a year without interest. The plan is a worthy one and should receive proper support. Messrs.' Moody and E. Schanno are circulating a sub scription paper. Considerable excitement was occa sioned on the streets this afternoon by the arrest of two men who were supposed to be the robbers of Saturday night. The men were seen in the city jail by a reporter. They were quite indignant over their arrest and claimed to be totally innocent. Also that they had families who would suffer by the publi cation of their names.

The town seems to be infested with robbers. .There were two robberies last night, besides an attempted robbery, and another theft Saturday night has been reported. Some time before 1 1 o'clock the corner window of Mays & Crowe was broken and four revolvers, which were within easy reach, were taken, . One was a 44 Colts, another a 44 Smith & Wesson, a 32 Forehand & Wordsworth and the other a make not known. A Winches ter rifle which stood in the corner and just as easy to take, was left. The value of the stolen revolvers is in the neighbor hood of $40. . .. . . . , - . The evening before the clerks of the store were talking about the- ease with which this window conid be robbed, and decided on taking the cumbers of the pistols the following day. The front window of Sam Klein's second hand store was also broken be fore 9 o'clock last night, but the robbers evidently became frightened before mak ing an entrance, for nothing was missed. Two young men of the town were stand ing across the street from Mr. Klein's and heard the crash of the glass. : Look ing over, they .saw a man leaving the place and disappear in the alley, but supposing he had broken it accidentally, did not follow him. , Mr. Vanbibber missed forty rolls of butter this morning which were taken during the night, and Saturday night Paul Kreft loet a tent. The mayor con templates putting on an extra force of police. . I). P. Thompson on Turkey. A good-sized audience greeted Hon. D. P. Thompson at the court house last night, to bear his lectuie on "Turkey." For an hour and a half he 'entertained them on the manners and customs, of the Turks and their history from 504 years before Christ to the present time, and of the progress made by them in the last century, particularly the last half of the century. The present sultan has introduced a system of compulsory edu cation whereby all males between the ages of 6 and 16 must attend schools, and are taught to read in three lan guages. Females are not permitted to go, and are virtual slaves. When the sultan was asked by Mr. Thompson why not educate the girls, he merely shrugged his shoulders and made no other reply. The Koran is both the law and the re ligion. The sultan holds the United States in the highest esteem of all the nations. Mr. Thompson .is considered a man of great wealth, yet when he was introduced into the presence of the sul tan, the room was furnished so gor geously as to make him feel ill at ease, the throne alone being worth all of his fortune. The magnificence of the rugs, as well as other furnishings, is simply bewildering. The carpets are woven with gold thread and diamonds are used in every available place. Mr. Thompson compreseed a great many facts into the allotted space of his lec ture, and one of its greatest charms was the Simple, unassuming . manner in which he describes Bcenes that he had actually witnessed. THE ART OF EATING. . A Branch of Education la Which Amer icans Are Woefully Deficient. "When my children get to the proper age," said the man who was smoking a briar pipe, "I intend to have them taken in hand by some competent per son and gi ven a thorough instruction in the art of eating, and, f urther, in the science of finding out what to eat and orderinpr.' "What do you mean?" inquired the man who sat next to him. "I mean this: The average American citizen is woefully deficient in knowl edge of what he can get to eat. He falls down when it comes to ordering a dinner. The great majority of peo ple in this country are brought up frugally at home and do not know any thing but the commonest dishes. The consequence is that when a man goes into a restaurant for dinner or to a hotel he gazes helplessly at the bill of fare and sees many things of which he does not know the component parts. He dares not order anything that he is not sure of, for fear of ridicule, and he falls back on roast beef and mashed potatoes. The fact is, he doesn't know anything but roast beef. Same way in a restaurant. When a waiter shoves a bill of fare under a man's nose nine times out of ten he will look it over and then say: 'Gimme a steak and some fried potatoes.' Now, the man who does this day a fter .day doesn't want roast beef. He is sick unto death of steaks and fried potatoes. He loathes ham and eggs, and yet he keeps on ordering them in dreary and dys peptic succession, because be- doesn t know any better and he is too pround to confess his ignorance. It's that way with me, and I'll bet it's that way with most of you. I am going to relieve my children Of all these ttungs. They're going to know . what's what , when it comes to eating. 'No roast-beef domi nation!' shall be my household slogan." And the rest of the party, says the Buffalo Express, thought it over and concluded that . he . was pretty nearly right. - - - - - " ' wood; wood, wood.

Dr. Sanders has just finished fixing up his dental parlors, which are most daintily and exquisitely furnished. He supplies the center ta le with such pe riodicals as Harper's Bazaar, Scientific American and Youth's Companion. The dressing room contains everycon venience, and besides the staple comb, brush and mirror, contains the minor articles necessary to the feminine toilet, such as powder, pins, etc. The labora tory is also supplied with every con venience needed for his work.

From the luxu rious : equipments throughout, tne re porter is almost induced to believe that it would be a coveted pleasure to be operated on dentally by Dr. Sanders. - ' NEWS OF THE STATE. Diphtheria and scarlet fever ia begin ning to make its appearance at Milwau kie and Sell wood, suburbs of Portland. An old prospector of Baker City named John McCloud was found dead in his bed Monday evening. He left a letter stating that after careful deliberations be had decided to take his. life, which the press would call cowardice, but that he would rather be called a dead coward than a living bum. A destructive snowslide occurred at the mining camp of the Cornucopia, east of Union, at about 6 o'clock Mon day morning, the Oregon Gold Mining Company being the principal sufferers. The slide occurred near the Whitman mine, carrying away the tramway, sta tion No. 1 and partially wrecking the terminal. Considerable anxiety is felt in regard to the waters of Pine creek, as the bed of the stream has been dry be low the slide since it came down, and a large amount of water must be accumu lating above. How far the slide ex tends above the mill is not yet known. The snow is over eight . feet deep in camp.' PERSONAL MENTION.

The story was a fabrica tion of a Roman historian hundreds of years after the supposed time. Gen. Cambbostte did not say: "The guard dies, but does not surrender." The words were the invention of a Paris journalist, and attributed to him. Blondel, the harper, did not dis cover the prison of King Richard. Richard paid his ransom, and the re ceipt for it is among the Austrian archives. . HoBATrcs never defended the bridge.

That Is the Declaration Made by Gov ernor Mitchell. Tallehasse, Fla., Jan. 19. If Gover nor Mitchell has any intention of aban doning his fight against the Duval Ath letic club, he does not show any signs of it. . On the contrary, he seems more de termined than ever and has laid plans which he says cannot fail. When ap proached today he said. "You can "announce that I'm going to prevent thfs prizefight, for that's what it is, no matter bow many other terms are applied to it." "But it ia hinted that Jacksonville militia has declined to aid you," was suggested. "That's not true," said the governor sharply, "but if they did happen to so decline it would not affect my plans in the slightest degree. I'm going to pre vent that fight, and that's all there is about it. Corbett and Mitchell cannot fight in this state." "Have you read that the club has sev eral other plans in view if Jacksonville is abandoned?" was asked. "I have," said the governor, "and I repeat emphatically that the fight shall be prevented in the state of Florida. I grant you that they may sneak off in the- woods somewhere and have it out, but I don't see how even this can be done. ' I shall not' call upon the Jacksonville militia. -. Some of them are in favor of the fight and have friends who are in tesested." . - . ' "Then you will employ the militia of some other point of the state?" "You may draw your own conclusions. The adjutant-general has planned to cover every point which might be avail able, and his men are men who may be depended upon. I am prepared, in any event. Now, then," said the governor, in conclusion, "I think I have made myself plain. . If anybody comes to Florida to see a fight and don't see one after spending time and money, he can only blame himself. - There will, I re peat once more, be no prize-fight here." "The adjutant-general would say noth ing of his plans further than the fight would surely be prevented. Smag-gllnff by a New Route. Spokane, Wash., Jan. 16. An opium smuggler doing business on a big. scale was caught here today, and $15,000 worth of opium was captured. The prisoner gave the name of S. B. Davis, but ad mits it" is not his true name. His ac tions excited the suspicion of two bag gagemen at the Union depot. Officers were summoned, -Davis arrested, and four trunks were seized. He ad mitted his guilt, and the trunks were found to contain more than 1,000 pounds of contraband opium. ' He was held for trial in $5,000 bail. Davis' method has been to pass through British Columbia as a traveling man with four large sam ple trunks labled hardware. The opium was loaded at a point on the coast and taken east to the Kalis pell river, then down into Montana to a point on the Great Northern. The lucky baggage men will get a reward of about $7,000. Davis refuses to talk. - The Cook City (Mont.) Mercantile Company, which practically controls the business of that mining city, offers $75, 000 in gold bullion and all expenses for the Corbett-Mitchell fight.
