A warm rain fell last night, amounting
to 11 hundredths of an ifcch. The air in

springlike and refreshing, and in tbe

garden product. It is not a radish, nor
a sprig of .lettuce, nor yet the fragrant
onionette, . but some tomatoes, a fruit
commonly supposed not to mature
until August. Yet Mr. Frazer assures
us the vine grew out of doors. This
speaks much for our equable climate.
Mr. G. W. Watkine, ventriloquist,
with the Georgia University graduates is
indeed a wonder in his particular line of
work, and as an autoharp soloist and
musical juggler, is far superior to any
that ever appeared before an Appleton
audience. Appleton Press, Dec. 3d. At

The postoffice reports a largely in
creased amount of business today, due
to good St. Valentine. Those who are
fortunate in receiving the tinted, scent
ed missives, with paper-lace borders and
impassioned sentiments, will feel a thrill
of pleasure emanating from the heart
when opening tbe envelopes; but those
who draw therefrom a daub of the one-
cent variety, will experience a pain
farther down.
A dispatch was received tnis after
noon stating that the Fitzsimmons
Maher prize fight, which was to have
taken place today ne,ar El Paso, Texas,
has been postponed, and will occur Mon
day. All cars in and around the city
have been chartered for use, as it is ex
pected the fight will occur about sixty
miles irpm that city. The principals
and all connected are trying to elude the
vigilance of the authorities, so that de
tails are hard to get. '
The residents of Chinatown have been
exploding firecrackers for several days
commemorating their New Year. The
small boy deplores the reckless waste of
shooting large bunches off at once, for
he would string them out and prolong
the enjoyment. The Chinese have tfaei
oldest authenticated history, and their;
customs have followed down the agea
uncnangea, out tneir persistence l
clinging to ancient modes and idea
have made them, as a race, unfit to copi
with any other civilized people in art
science or warfare. ..

Imposing Upon the Schoolma'ams.
The teachers applying for certificates
before the county school superintendent
will conclude their labors about 4 or 5
o'clock this afternoon. The several pa
pers will then be passed upon and cer
ificates granted, according to their ex
cellence or lack of it,by the superintend
ent. This work will hardly be finished
before Tuesday, as it involves a great
amount of labor. There are ten studies,
and ten questions in each study. There
being twenty-eight applicants, this
means 2,800 answers to be examined.
Really there are about 4,000 answers to
look over, for many questions are sub
divided and require separate answers.
The ten etudies are a3 follows : Or
thography, reading, writing, geography,
written arithmetic, mental arithmetic,
grammar, history, physiology, theory
and practice. The questions upon arith
metic are conceded to be more difficult
than any other study and are certain to
greatly lower the average. There are
few having a collegiate education who
could answer them after leaving the
walls of a college a year or two. For in
stance question No. 5, which involves
the remembrance of a certain formula:
"Find the diameter of a circular island
containing five square miles." Question
6 is ridiculous : "A certain room is 26
feet long and 20 feet wide. How many
feet is it from one of the lower corners
to an opposite upper corner?" Mr.
Shelley Bays he won't work at that until
he knows the height of the room, and
the teachers wonder what sort of a room
it was the fellow was in who formulated
that question. The reporter gives it up.
too, unless it was a bar room.
The school clerk is about half through
taking enumeration ofschool children.!
He believes there artU be about a 5 Der
cent increase of ehumef ation. The ratio
may be figured out by the following fig
x -
ures of the number of school children
for the years named : 1892, 868 ; 1893,
907; 1894, 1058; 1895, 1212. The more
children found and enumerated, the
better it .is for the district. For each
child of school age, $5 of school money
per year is allowed the district, which is
taken from the state school fund.
There is also the 5 mill ecbool tax on
property in the county, to be used for
school purposes. Consequently the
more children there ere, the greater
(should be the facilities for teaching.

The Regulator made tbe trip to Col

dent. The machinery bad been so per
fectly adjusted that nothing had to be
touched. Tbe only business done was
carrying back about 10,000 feet of lum

regular trips. As soon as this fact is
generally known between here and the

and shin them home bv Regulator
Wednesday. This is past experience and"
amounts to a rule, in the same manner
as life insurance companies estimate
with absolute certainty how many peo
ple out of a thousand are going to die in
a year. They can't tell who it will be,
but juBt so many have to go. It is an
acknowledged fact that the majority of
farmers' supplies used Jjetween The
Dalles and Cascade Locks are purchased
at The Dalles, and the resuming of tbe
boat's regular runs means therefore an
immediate increase of business.
An A. I. A. Lecture that Did Not
Materialize.
The Baptist church was to have been
used Thursday and Friday eve'nings of
this week by Rev. A. B. Sift ton, an A.
P. A. lecturer and state,, organizer for
Washington and Idaho. Tbe church
was lighted up and people commenced
to congregate, but at 8 o'clock no one
had appeared who looked like he might
be Sutton, and no excuse bad been
offered for bis non-appearance. It was
learned this morning that be has suf
fered an accident at Ostrander, Wash.
He writes to a friend here : "I fell from
a raiiroad trestle today at this place,
and must go into dry dock for repairs.
Will send a new appointment in a few
days. . Don't know how bad I am hurt.
Will know in a few days."
