No; it is simply iiie roar that is arising from Eastern Oregon towns that fondly, but in vain, hoped for the branch insane asylum. Ore gonian. The Harney Times announces that it will help bear the dear old democratic banner to victory in 1896. The balance of the paper is devoted to advertising almost illegible by reason of its bad print. Mr. E. E. Lytle has provided his office with a valuable watch dog, in view of the several recent robberies. It is a new breed, known as the Curbstone and Sooner f "Hy, but Lytle is determined to be on safe side. It was reported yesterday on the Streets that Ben Snipes had been shot in the head at Seattle. The report ori ginated from an operator who told a former clerk of Snipes that he heard it ' going over the Associated Press wires. John Binehart, grandfather of the late Dr. W. E. Binehart, died in Sum merville recently, aged about 70 years. The deceased is a brother of James H., L. B., Henry, William and Jasper Bine hart, all of whom are prominent pioneer residents of that section. Freight No. 22, while coming in this morning, ran into a small elide while rounding a curve, but not enough to de rail either the engine or cars. Engineer Montgomery and the fireman jumped, but alighting in some soft mud, about knee deep, were not injured. The board has jftecided on a place near Union for the branch insane asvlum, provided land and water rights can be bought at reasonable prices. The action of the board in making the eelection was unanimous. The site is on Kather ine creek, near Hot springs and Hot lake.

McClure's Magazine for Eebruary will contain an exhaustive study, profusely illustrated, of the life and character of Philip D. Armour. Without slighting Mr. Armour's business genius, and the mammoth enterprises which that genius has originated and conducted, the article will give special attention to a less known side of Mr. Armour's character, his beneficence, and the far from small enterprises in which that has fructified. The article will get an added interest from its pictures, many of which will be from special drawings made on the scene. Captain Sweeney, " U. S.

Tibbets and Party Always Ready to - - .Fight Bobbers. The late robberies have put everybody in an apprehensive etate of mind, and figuratively speaking, all have their hands on their revolver. So when No. 1, coming in late this morning, stopped about a half mileshortof the depot, Tibbets, the plucky little delivery man for the express company, easily ima gined the train was being field np by robbers. He, with two or three others, secured guns some way, boarded the switch engine, and were soon en route to the rescue. Arriving close to the scene they got off from the engine and bravely marched with guns ready for instant use to the aid of the passengers. The latter took Tibbets and his men for the robbers and those who happened to have guns were getting them out and preparing to shoot. Both ' parties then simultaneously became frightened and ran in opposite directions. . When the train finally pulled np at the depot, the trouble was explained. The cyl inder head of the locomotive had been blown out just short of reach ing the depot, and the .train had to stop. The passengers were informed that the supposed robbers were their in tended allies, and Tibbett's party soon found out the peaceable intentions of the passengers. Both had a good laugh on the other and the incident ended. None Bat Ayer's at the World's Fair. Of all t ie blood-purifiers in existence Ayer's Sarsaparilla was the only prepa ration of the kind permitted to occupy space and to be exhibited at the world's fair, Chicago, notwithstanding the most strenuous efforts on the part of other manufacturers for a showing. The rule adopted by the world's fair officials for bidding the entry ot patent medicines and nostrums was waived in the case of J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass., in a decision substantially as follows: "Ayer's Sarsaparilla is not a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on its merits." State Tax Levy. Yesterday the state board made the levy for the state tax. The levy was fixed at 4 3-10 mills on the dollar of assessable property. On the basis of valuation fixed by tbe state board of equalization, this will yield $722,000 in round figures. Last year the levy was fixed at 7 mills on the dollar of taxable property which yielded an income of $1,069,000. This year's levy did not in clude the expenditure for the new insane asylum in Eastern Oregon, nor for the two wings to the state penitentiary, as the assessments provided for in tbe ap propriations have already been made. Barks, but Don't Bite. Dear Chronicle: I see by your issue of yesterday that "the supreme court of Oregon declares in strong language that the owners of barking and vicious dogs are responsible for all damages caused by such dogs, and that the owners keep them at their own peril." But what if tbe dog be not vic ious but only large and with a bark which can be heard two or three blocks away and keeps that same bark going half of every night -disturbing the neighboring people, spoiling their sleep and their tempers not for a night merely, but for consecutive weeks and months. Question May not 6uch a dog be de clared a nuisance and put out of the way, if not kept in the house? Citizest, o Behalf of Citizens. PERSONAL MENTION. ' Hon. W. II. Biggs of Waeeo is in the city.

Oh for the light of other days, van ished alas in the gloaming ! Poor, pau per ed Linn county, once the glory of Oregon, is now a land where "two-thirds of the people are without employment and one-third without sufficient meana of support."

Every thing is meat that comes to the net now. , Know you that the citizens of Lebanon endorse Governor Pennoyer's Christ mas letter to Cleveland. .Want to Barn the Doctor. An Associated Press dispatch from Goldendale, Wash., says : Hon. W. B. Dunbar is in receipt of a letter from We-We-Us, an Indian of the Calawash tribe, asking if it could be arranging with "Boston tyees" (mean ing court and jury) whereby they could be permitted to burn an Indian doctor at the stake, who has been doctoring the son of Skamiahs nigh unto death, and by the destruction of this doctor the evil spirit will be destroyed and Skamiahs' son will recover. The Indian tradition is that where the medicine man fails with his herbs to effect a cure, he has been possessed of an evil spirit, and that, as long as it exists, it will prevent a patient's recovery. Therefore, utter destruction by fire is the sentence the entire tribe passed upon the unfortunate doctor. Mr. Dunbar, during his many years' residence in Klickitat, has often been called to council the different tribes. He says this is among the worst barbar ities he ever knew them to want to inflict, but be believes the custom has long been practiced, but civilization is bringing them to dread the law.

Last Thursday the bank of Jackson ville opened its official eyes pretty wide on eight pounds of -quartz brought to town from near Jackass creek, Jackson county. The lump was brilliant with gold and was supposed to be worth no less than $1,000, and perhaps considera ble more. W.- B. Flamm, the miner who dug it out of a pocket, would not give the exact location of his valuable discovery. It is said that the most val uable placer mines in Southern Oregon are situated on Jackson and Jackass ereeks, in the vicinity of the find. SlOO Reward, SIOO. The readers of this paper will be much pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu tional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building np the constitution and as sisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer $100 for any case that it fails to care. Send for list of testimonials. Address F. J Cheney & Co., Toledo. O.

A hybrid has been procured between Azalea mollis and A. viscosa which pre serves the agreeable fragrance of our native plant with the bright colors of its Asiatic parent. A new race of sweet-scented azaleas would be a de sirable addition to garden plants. No other shrub equals the hydrangea paniculata granditiora ior matting- a display in August. The large heads of white flowers last for a long- time, and when they fade it is to a light pink color which is still attractive, if not so much so as when white. Further than this, the heads may be cut later and used in their dried state as ornaments for the house, placed in vases. RAILROAD RATTLE. A locomotive requires fuel and labor to the value of three thousand dollars in the course of a year. The railways of England and Scot land derive a larger revenue from their goods than from their passenger traffic. - In every mile of railroad there is seven feet and four inches that is not covered by the. rails the space left be tween them for expansion. The Victoria railway bridge over the St. Lawrence, at. Montreal, Can., contains S, 000,000 cubic feet of mason ry work and 10,500 tons of iron. Mosquitoes were unknown in Atlan ta, Ga., before sleeping: cars were run from Savannah into that city. This is evidence that mosquitoes travel first class.
