The Carlisle currency bill was knocked
out yesterday by a vote 124 for and 129
against. This is a decided victory for
the silver men.
The snow is in excellent condition for
snow-balling today, as many a person
who has "got it" in the back of the
neck,' or had his hat knocked off, can
testify.
It is almost certain that the Pacific
Insurance Union will go to pieces in the
very near future. When it does there is
going to be a wild scramble for business
and a reckless slashing of rates
The commissioners have been doing a
lot of preliminary work and examining
of accounts, but have completed bat little
business. They have matters in shape
however, that when they commence to

Five hundred dollars expenses for
bringing a prisoner from Harney county
to Portland in order to try him for sell
ing a pint of whiskey to an Indian,
seemB like a high price for the punish
ment of the offense ; but that ia what
the last case cost the government. The
prisoner will lie in jail until Jane, and
the total cost of trying him will be about
$1,000, which is a big price for a pint of
whiskey.
PEASE
The sleighing last night ' was very
good, there having been travel enough
to get the snow pretty well packed.
This being the case, it was taken advan
tage of by a large number, and the jin
gle of bells and toot of horns were heard'
until a late hour. Among other turn
outs were three or four four-horse rigs,
and all loaded. The parties in the big
wagon beds seemed to be having the
most fun at least they made the most
)ise.
A Jacksonville correspondent says :
The contract for the survey of the Rogue
River Valley railroad from Medford to
Eagle Point was let to W. E. Coul, and
the survey was begun Wednesday. Mr.
Harvey Man, the president of the com
pany, has been in Jacksonville the past
week making arrangements for the pre
liminary survey. The line between
Jacksonville and Medford has been suc
cessfully operated the past four years,
and the extension will carry the line
through a fine body of fruit and grain
lands up to the timber belt on the east
ern side of the valley.

The following account of a trial the de
cision in which ought to be an example
for the real courts, is given by the Port
land Sun:
'An exciting and interesting meeting
of the moot court of the law school was
held last evening - in Judge Hurley's
courtroom. As a preliminary officers
for tne ensuing term were elected, as
follows: D. A. Grout, president; F. S.
Grant, secretary; W. Q. Buffington,
treasurer, and I. J. Sweet, sergeant-at-
arms. Judge John L. McGinn, in an ex
haustive opinion, decided that the
young man arrested for dropping a nickel
to which a'string was tied, in the slot of
a cigar machine, and then withdrawing
the money, after the receipt of the' cigar,
was not guilty of larceny as charged, as
the owner of the nickel -in-the-elot ma
chine had intended to part with the title
to the cigar as long as a person complied
with the direction to drop the required
nickel.
A jury trial which, for its bickerings,
personalities and irrelevant inuendoes
would do justice to a first-class murder
trial then followed. Contrary to custom
Mr. J. B. Mullay was excused because
he knew absolutely nothing and Mr. S
B. Riggin was accepted for the reason of
his defiant affirmation that he was a
professional Juror. Mr. Jnowell was
excused because he had no property but
was living in hopes. At a late hour the
case was going with a State-vs-Steeves-
like slowness and the embryo lawyers
were arguing at great length a point
about as relevant to the issue as is a
hawk to a handsaw.

POPPING THE QUESTION.
Ueneral Information as to the Method Is
Bard to Obtain.
'It is a strange thing," whispered a
whimsical individual one night, after
making sure no one else was looking,
says the Louisvalle Courier-Journal,
that a married person always declines
to inform an unmarried friend just how
the proposal tableau was arranged. It
has been a matter of much speculation
to me as to the most popular and com
mon tableau enacted on such an auspi
cious occasion. Every time I have asked
a married woman how lier husband
asked her to be his, she has always
blushed and given an evasive answer.
It s been so long I have forgotten,' she
sometimes answers, unthinkingly. If
she had realized that she had referred
to her age she would have expired.
"Another woman will answer: Why;
John just asked me, and I said yes.
On account of these different answers
I have begun to think that, as compari
sons cannot be made, an artistic pro
posal will never be had in this world.
I have also begun to think why it is
that these evasive replies are invaria
ble. So deeply has the matter taken
hold of me that, for the enlightenment
of humanity in general, I am half de
termined to form an army somewhat
after the fashion of Coeur de Lion or
Coxey and march upon the hosts of
the silent women and compel them to
yield their secret."
