Yesterday Easter was one of the
loveliest, most beautiful days of spring.
The sun in the early morn shone out
through a fleecy film of clouds, and in a
short time they had disappeared and
the Bky was clear. The temperature
ranged between 60 and 71 degrees dur
ing the day, with a light, balmy breeze,
just enough to invite the old and young
to the hills, which was accepted by a
large share of our people, who rambled
hither and yonder gathering flowers.
What a contrast ! Wyoming Colorado,
the Dakotas, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Missouri a'nd Michigan blizzard-ridden.

Easter Services.
The churches of the city were all
beautifully decorated yesterday, com-,
memorative of Easter. v '
The Methodist church was decorated
with' house plants and cut flowers.
Among the decorations were four calla
lily' plants, each having a number of
flowers. ; A Sunday school concert was
given a 11 o'clock and regular evening
services at 7 :30 o'clock. ; . '
The Congregational church was pret
tily decorated . with vines and flowers.
In the ' evening the church was packed,
on the occaaipn of a children's concert.
There was a choir of twenty or more
young ladies. The most pleasing num
ber was the infant class of Mrs. Condon,
comprising abeut forty little ones, who
sang and spoke an Easter greeting.
The Christian chnrch, besides flowers
and vines, was adorned with . several
canary birds in cages, whose song gave
an added significance to the day of
praise. -
The Catholic church was likewise
adorned with cut flowers and plants,
and besides about 200 burning candles.
The usual Easter services were given.
DIED.
In Dufur, March 24th;"Dr. Larkin
Vanderpool, aged 63 years, of kidney
trouble and diabetes succeeding carbun
cles. .
Dr. Vanderpool came to Oregon from
the east in 1852, settling in the Willam
ette valley. About 1870 he removed to
Prineville for his health and in. 1882 to
Dufur. He leaves three children, Wil
liam T. and Willard L. Vanderpool and
Mrs. Rebecca J. Wilson of this city.
He has also six grandchildren, the eld
est HQ years. Dr. Vanderpool was a
self-made' -physician, being literally
forced ' to accept it as a profession.
He acquired a home knowledge of
medicine from books, for the purpose of
administering to his family, and was
called by neighbors for common ail
ments. He was soon in great demand,
and as his practice widened he was com
pelled' to charge for his . services, he
lost so - much time from his farm
work attending calls from near home.
He is the originator of the S. B. reme
dies -now medicines of reputed excel
lence which -are for the most part made
of herbs native to Oregon. At the time
of his death he was , president of the
company. This section has lost a valued
citizen by his demise.

CHILDREN IN PERIL.
Saved from Impending Death . by a
Mother's Prompt Action.
James Welsh, who has a ranch on 10-
Mile, came nearly being indirectly re
sponsible for the death of a child Saturday.-
' He came . in with a four-horse
team, and driving up to a house at the
corner of Tenth and Garrison streets,
went in without 'tying the team. A
number of small children were playing
in the vicinity, who clambered upon the
wagon and one of them in play cracked
the whip over . their beads. The horses
stated to rnn. ' All the children but two
jumped. One of these was too terrified,
and one' in attempting to jump became
entangled in a rope tied across the end,
in lieu of an endgate,' and could not
mo've either way. The mother of one
of the children saw the .four-horse team
start, and outstripped them in the mad
race. In her desperation, she reached
the rear of the wagon, disentangled the
child from the rope, and with her other
hand rescued the other little one, who
was crazed with fright. She could not
haVe done this only that the team hap
pened to be headed up hill, a slope
covered with deep sand. . The owner of
the team reached them a moment later
and secured control of the reins. If the
horses ' had been headed the other way,
they would have made a short turn on
Ninth street, overturned the wagon, and
dragged the child to death who was
fastened in the rope, and possibly killed
the other one.'

It is reported that a number of young
men met one evening last week and or
ganized what promises to.be an impor
tant factor in the coming campaign. .A
club with, a membership of over fifty
young men was formed who propose to
have a hand in the election. The object,
so it is stated, is to vote for men whose
ability and integrity are unquestioned
and who will give the county and city
clean administrations. All party lines
are merged into the general good of the
community. Officers were elected who
will have the management during the
campaign and our informant states that
the members are seriously imbued with
the idea that they can exert a good deal
of influence at the polls. Arrangements
have been made to hold a public meet
ing in the near future and have addresses
by prominent speakers.' -It is rumored,
how true we cannot say, that a red rib

A Strange Plant.
In the island of Reunion is a plant
known as the wild orange, which pro
duces a fruit, gxeen at first, afterward
bluish, and verging into purple as it
ripens. This .has been tested and
found to make a beverage in every
way equal to coffee and at a much
lower price. The product is called
"mussaenda," and can be used
alone or mixed with pure coffee. It is
announced that about twenty-four
thousand acres of this plant are now
being1 cultivated. It is most likely,
however, that chicory, more than cof
fee, will suffer from the introduction
of "mussaenda."
The celebrated "Queen's pipe," at
Portsmouth, a furnace in which, for
many ytears all seized contraband to
bacco has been burned, has just been
abolished. The tobacco will in future
be supplied to the troopships, for the
use of. troops during passage froni port
to port, and possibly to the ships of the
navy in general. . 1

. LEASING A-. WIFE.- - -
A Queer Custom Formerly In - Vogue In
England. .
Taking a wife as one does a house
on lease has actually been done more
than once in England. A Birmingham
correspondent in tbe Gentleman's Mag
azine, in 178S, writes: "Since residing
in this town I have often heard there
is A method of obtaining a wife's sisr
ter upon lease. I never could learn the
method to be taken to get a wife upon
lease or whether, such connections are
sanctioned by law; but there isan emi
nent manufacturer in the vicinity of
th.ia town who has had his deceased
wife's sister, upon lease f or ninety
years and upward, and I know she
went by his name, and enjoyed all the
privileges and received all the honor
due to the respected name of wife."
And as late as 1S53, also in Birming
ham, which would, seem to be espe
cially given to the leasing of men and
women, a woman who appeared in
court against her husband said in evi
dence that she was not living with
him because he was leased to another
woman, and the document setting
-forth the terms of the lease was pro
duced and read. But this agreement,
couched in imposingly, legal terms,
the man and woman pledged them
selves to"mutual exertion, by work
and by labor, - and by following all
their business pursuits to the best of
their abilities, skill and understand
ing, and by advising and assisting each
other for their . mutual benefit and ad-i
vantage, and also to provide for them-,
selves and each other the best supports
and comforts of life which their means
and income may afford.".
. i r
Ingenuity.
The following ingenious, mode of
crossing a river was once displayed by
a Kaffir, who had for some time stood
watching the vain attempts of a party
of soldiers to cross the stream at a time
when to ford it was attended by con
siderable danger. After smiling ,at
their efforts with that sardonic expres
sion remarkable among these savag-es,
he quietly raised a heavy stone, plaeed
it on his head and then walked with
perfect ease through the torrent to the
opposite side.

A Piece of African Despotism That Pre-.
vents Overcharging.
. Kabarega, the negro king of Unyorov
in Central Africa, is a man who rules
his subjects with-a rod of iron. .Like
all tyrants, he regulates their smallest
actions, and a host of spies . inform
him of any disobedience to his com
mands. Among other things he has made a
fixed tariff of prices for everything
bought or sold in his country, and
every deviation from itisseverely pun
ished. An instance of "this is given by
Vita Hassan in his book about F.min
Pasha and the Equatorial Province.'
. About a month after . 'his arrival in
Unyoro, he bought a fowl and paid
thirty cowries for it, while the market
price was only twenty-five. In that '
part of Africa it takes about two hun
dred and fifty, cowries to make a dol
lar. Soon afterward a. dragoman of
the king appeared, and brought back
five cowries with the message:
"A fowl costs only twenty-five cow
ries, while yon have given thirty. The
seller has done wrong, and the king-'
will punish him; but he sends to you
the advice to be careful henceforth in
your purchases never to give for any
thing more than it is, worth, first of all
in your own interest, and, next to this,
in order not to disturb the market."
