HOW VIC TREVITT BROKE THE
DEADLOCK. '
Ever'' old-timer in The Dalles, and
nearly every one in the Btate, knew. Vic
Trevitt, for he was the kind of a man
to make himself known. This trait in
his character was illustrated by his se
lection of a burying gronnd on Mema
loose Island, twelve or fifteen miles be
low here, where his . remains lie, and
where his simple monument, placed on
the sharp basaltic point, that like the
prow of a steamer, fronts the channel,
invariably causes the tourist - to
learn somewhat of him who sleeps there.
Vic was a great joker, and it made
little difference to him at whose expense
he had a little sport, for if he could find
no one else to work off his superabund
ance of spirits on, he would put up a
job on himself: ' " '
When the legislature met that finally
elected Mr. Corbett to the senate, Vic
was in Salem, and if we remember cor
rectly, was a member of the legislature.
Be that as it may, he was there, and
Trhen the fight came up between Cor
bett and Gibbs it soon reached that tire
some stage known as a deadlock. Vic
was a shifty fellow, and the matter had
no sooner grown wearisome to him than
lie began to study tip some device that
would relieve the monotony of the situ
ation. Corbett lacked but two votes of
having enough, and it suggested itself to
Trevitt that as the democrats were in
the mmorfty, and consequently out of
the fight, he might have a little fun out
of some of "his friends, the enemy,
He soon selected one of the country
' members, opposed to Corbett, and be
gan his fine work on him. He told him,
in effect, that it was only a question of a
few days until some of the opposition
would weaken ; that there was money
to be had for a vote or two; that he (the
member) was a poor man, and that he
might as well go home with $500 in his
pocket, having elected a good honest
man too, as to go home broke ; that if
he did not get it, some other fellow
would. And so he followed this chain
of making the vote-selling seem not
much of a crime, until he got the mem
ber to say that he did need the money ;
that Corbett was a good man, and that
be knew of no reason why he should not
vote for him, always providing the $500
aforesaid warmed his pocket and acted
as a soporific on his conscience. Then
Vic proceeded to carry out the details of
the purchase. He told the member be
could not, of course, pay him any money,
nor could anyone else that he might
know, but that the man who paid the
money and the man who received it
should neither know the other. "At
exactly 11 o'clock tonight," said he,
"you go down in the alley back of B 'a
wood-pile (B. was a saloon-keeper in
Salem at the time) and there in the dark
a man, whom you will not be able to
recognize, or he to recognize you, will
hand you the money. The member con
senting to this, Vic went to B 's saloon
and, calling that getleman (who, by the
way, had a very handsome wife) to one
side, said to him : "You know, B., you
and I have been friends for a long time
and I would not knewingly see you get
the worst of it, and I only want to give
you a hint. One of the members of the
legislature" is trying to get your wife
away from you." "O, pshaw!" said B
"That's all right," said Vic, "but if you
doubt me, go to the wood-pile in your
alley shortly before 11 o'clock tonight
and see what yon will see." The result
-was that at 11 o'clock that night the
member was on hand promptly, so was
B. The foimer got on the wood-pile
and waited ; the latter behind it, and
got mad. Finally B. stepped out and
, the member stepped towards him, think
ing it was the man he was to meet
"What are you doing here?" said B.
and on getting no satisfactory answer to
this question (for how could the explan
ation be made), he fell on that same
member and beat him into a state ot in'
sensibility.
When the roll was called in joint ses
Bion next day, one member who had
been "waylaid, beaten and robbed," did
not answer to bis name, and Corbett
fetting one vote additional, was declared
elected. And thuB it happened that Vic
Trevitt's disposition to play practical
jokes, broke the deadlock, defeated
Gibbs, and elected Corbett. It might
have been that the same result would
have been reached, but at the least the
settlement of the matter was precipi
tated.
There is liable to be a hitch in nego
tiating . a treaty with Japan on account
of an amendment to the proposed treaty
made in the senate. By the treaty as
proposed Japan is allowed to fix her own
tariffs, but by the senate amendment
the- United States could cancel the
treaty on one year's notice, and insist
on fixing the tariff 'on all imports from
this country at 5 per cent ad valorem.
A nation pf 40,000,000 people, that has
shown the spirit and enterprise that
Japan has, will not, and shoild not per
mit any other country to fix her tariffs.
This country would not submit to it
when it had only 5,000,000. However,
now that we have 70,000,000, it seems
that "we are unable to fix a tariff to suit
ourselves, and this without outside in
terference It will be hard enough for
Japan to regulate her tariff for herself,
and unti we can fix our own satisfacto
rily, we should not add to our load by
monkeying with some other country's.
The Chinese government seems to be
ncapable of realizing the situation in
which it is placed, and imagines it can
hoodwink and play with the Japanese.
For some time it has been known that
China had sent peace commissioners to
Japan, ostensibly to arrange terms for
terminating the war. It developed,
upon their credentials being shown to
the Japanese commissioners, that they
had no power to make any binding
greement whatever. The result is that
instead of entering into negotiations the
Chinese representatives have been sent
home by Japan, with instructions not to
come back unless tbey were ready and
empowered to bind their government to
any agreement that might be reached.
Mr. Bohwno'i Bats.
Mr. Erail Schanno is firmly convinced
that the statement that rats will leave a
sinking ship is literally true. He is
responsible for the following story :
When the high water was reaching
after the second story of the buildings on
the bluff last summer, his barn was
about to float away. He took a turn or
two around the barn with a rope and
tied the end of it to a tree to keep the
barn from floating away. The rope was
not more than fairly fastened before a
colony of rats that had inhabited the
barn, no doubt, taking Schanno for the
life saving department, and the rope for
a life line, began to use it to get ashore.
One at a time they walked the rope, and
dropping to the ground scampered off to
new quarters. The last to leave the
barn was an old gray whiskered rodenc,
a father in Israel, so to speak, who de
liberately stopped when he reached the
tree, gnawed the rope in two and turned
the barn adrift, evidently just because
the family, his family, had no further
use for it.
Dolph Loses a Tote.
The situation is changed somewhat at
Salem, thoughjit only amounts to Cooper,
who was first against Dolph, and then
for him, again changing and voting for
Hermann. The dispatch gives only 89
votes, and does not say whether Scott
was present or not. If he was, then one
of Dolph 's men was absent. If he was
not, then Dolph has lost two votes. As
the dispatch only mentions Cooper's
name as changing, it is provable Scott
was absent. The vote was as follows:
Dolph 41; Herman 12;' Hare 10;
Weatherfrd 8: Lord 3; Lowell 3;
Williams 12.

Ten days loss of time on account of
sickness and a doctor bill to pay, is any
thing but pleasant for a man of a family
to contemplate, whether he is a laborer,
mechanic, merchant or publisher. Jas.
'Jones, publisher of the ' Leader,
Mexia, Texas, was sick in bed for ten
days with the grip during its prevalence
a year or two ago. Later in the season
he had a second attack. He says : "in
the latter 'case I used Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy with considerable suc
cess, I think, only being in bed a little
over two days. The second attack I am
satisfied would have been equally as bad
as the firBt but for the use of this rem
edy." It should be borne in mind that
the grip is much the same as a very
severe cold and requires precisely the
same treatment. When you wish to
cure a cold quickly and . effectually give
this remedy a trial. 50 cent bottles for
