postmaster at Kingsley.
Jos. T. Peters & Co., have cord wood,
which is desirable in all respects and
respectfully solicit your orders.
Gold is going oat of the treasury at

There has been a tremendous land
slide on the California and Oregon, and
it will be several days before trains are
again running on that line.
A long box looking exactly like it con
tained a deceased man has reposed on a
truck in front of the express office all
day. What gives the thing a gruesome
kind of ghastliness is the card tacked
thereon containing the address,' which is
"The Portland Meat Co."
Mrs. Hopkins, formerly Mrs Dunn, at
one time a resident of this city, but now
of Hood River, was to have been brought
here this afternoon to be examined as to
her sanity, bat a telegram from Com
mi88ioner Blowers stated that she was
too sick to be moved, and that she
would probably live but a few days.
btate Commissioner Butts made all

sleigh with them, and stopped at the
stable door without a particle of damage

large a contract, but by night the
breeze that followed the Japan . gulf
stream, starting perhaps from the rose-J
garlanded grottoes of Cathay, was
sweeping merrily up the gorge of the
Columbia and whistling a rollicking tune
to the big firs as they nodded and whis
pered to the warm caresses. But this
was not for long, for by midnight, altho'
a light breeze still came out of the west,
it was so cooled ere it reached here that

Tuesday evenings next. Monday night

and Tuesday night a double bill, "My
Uncle's Will" and "Frou Frou," instead
of "M'liss." It does not matter what
play is put on, those who attend will

nothing thaj is not interesting. They
deserve a packed house, and we hope
they will have it on both evenings.

The situation at Salem remains un
changed. The legislature met in joint
session today at noon and cast one ballot,
which was practically the same as that
of vesterdav. Tr. was aa follows ; DolDh
Every Moore 19, Bennett 8, Moody 4, Lord
.12,1 Williams. 1, Kincaid 2. Governor
SJoody it will be seen received a neat
complimentary vote, so did Kincaid.
The situation shows that as far as the
publican anti-caucus republicans are
dbncerned they are not concentrating on
Jny one candidate, and that the move
lent now is simply against Dolph. The
Democratic and populistic vote will never
go to Dolph, but would, with one possible
xception.go to almost anyone to beat
Dolph. We believe that a combination
would have been formed today, if it were
not for that one democrat: In voting
or Judge Bennett, Senator Cogswell
stated that he did not indorse the opin-
ns which Senator Huston attributed to
udge Bennett, though he would vote for
him. Cogswell has always had the rep
utation of being quite close to Senator
Simon, and it iapredicted that if a com
bination should be formed against
Dolph, Cogswell would vote for him,
thus making a tie. Dolph's danger lies
in the defection of one vote, for as we
understand the situation, a combination
can and will be formed as soon as the
bolting republicans gain one more vote.
Every influence possible is being brought
to bear by both 'sides, and the end may
be quite remote.

There has a custom grown up in Ore
con, that came from nobody knows
where, of the relatives of deceased per
sons publishing a card of thanks to
neighbors, friends and the public for the
sympathy and aid extended during the
illness of the deceased. With all due
deference to those who. follow the cus
tom, we would suggest that it is not
good taste. The thanks are uncalled
for, and unnecessary. In a Christian
community, the care of the sick and the
burial of the dead with proper and be
coming respect and decency, are not
things to return thanks for, for they are
the simple duties of the friends and
neighbors, acts performed for others
that others will repay by performing
similar services for them. Let the card
of thanks cease to appear.
