There were four little children on this
morning's passenger, says the La Grande
Chronicle, traveling by themselves all
the way to Tennessee. They ranged
from about 5 to 10 years old, but seemed
thoroughly at home on the train. The

A Debate and Spelling; School.
Last night a class, being taught by
Mrs. Geo. P. Morgan at the Locks, en
tertained the citizens of that place with
a debate followed by a spelling match.
The debate was upon the subject "Re
solved, That the Signs of the Times Do
Not Indicate a Speedy Return of Pros
perity." The question had a good many
knots on it for the young people to
tackle, but they made a good struggle on
each side, and arrived at as satisfactory
conclusion, perhaps, as older people
could have done. The argument took
the lines of protection and republicanism
on one side, and democracy and free
silver on the other. It was quite a co
incidence that those who expected bet
ter times baaed their hopes on the ex
pectation of the republicans again as
suming the reins of government, while
the negative side believed the times
would not get better, because the laws
are wrong. Those taking part in the de
bate were Messra Benson and two Al-
drich brothers for the affirmative and
Levins and Parkins for the negative.
The hall was crowded and everybody
was deeply interested in the debate.
Unfortunately we were compelled to
leave to catch the train, before decision
was given or the spelling match settled.
One of the boys touched ua in a tender
spot. He said there were only $5.17 per
capita in circulation fn this country,
and that made us wonder' where that
extra $5 was.
In Nebraska.
We received today a copy of the Cal
laway Tribune, a newspaper published
in the drouth-stricken section of Ne
braska. The paper 1b printed on wall
paper, and the editor, Frank Conly,
says that this is done because it is all be
can get. We reprint a few short items
from his paper to show something of the
condition of affairs there. Wasco county
should do something towards helping
them. The itema are aa follows :
"A fellow northeast of here atole a
sack of flour, and when the officer got
there to arrest him the children were
eating it raw."
"It ia now estimated over 12,000 left
this county last fall ; in fact all who
could get away went."
"The food trains from the South to the
drouth sufferers of this state will furnish
the sort of union that is needed between
the South and West."
- "To have all you want to eat is a
luxury in this country now days."
Infringment Suits.
The Western Electric Company, of
Chicago, on December 10, brought suit
in the - federal court at Springfield, III.,
against the Decatur Telephone Exchange
for an accounting. The Decatur ex
change is about to begin business with
the instrument manufactured by the
Harrison Telephone Company. An in
fringement of patent is claimed.
Tho Western Electric Company has
also brought suit for infringement
against several other companies in differ

of the American Bell Telephone
