each worth more than that. Buttons at
10 cents per thousand was certainly,
also, an eye.opener. The value of arti
cles offered for sale Beemed to cut no
figure. All bids were accepted, and eo
much interest was aroused by the re
ports of bargains that the Vogt stand
was crowded until 10 p. m., and yet only
one-half of the stock was dispoeed of.
The balance will be closed out on next
Saturday, the auction beginning at 10 a

Certain boys of tender age are in the
habit of jumping on cars, locomotives
and trains aa they are switched around
in the yard, a very dangerous pastime,
and disagreeable, as well, to the train
men. If persisted in, the result will be
a killed or maimed boy, for they get
more reckless with experience, and when
they get to the stage that thev are "too
smart to be hurt, the time Is ripe for
'horrible accident." Parents should
know where their boys are at all times,
The railroad management have finally
become aroused by this long-continued
nnisance, and propose to make an ar
rest or two if it is not stopped, as much
for -the protection of the boys them'
Selves as for the bother they make the
switchmen.

FARLEY'S- FIND.
An Unknown Infant Left at Bis Door
step Eurly This Morning;.
The lusty crying of an infant on the
doorstep of Mr. J. G. Farley about 4
o'clock this morning awoke Mr. Sher
man Frank, who occupies an' upper
front room of that residence, who at
once alarmed the household, and Mr.
Farley proceeded to the place auricularly
demonstrated to be the location of the
unbidden guest.
Here he found the frail morsel of hu
manity, ensconsed in a common lunch
basket, wrapped in an old shawl, but
with finer garments beneath it. In the
basket was found a gilt-edged card, con
taining the following information :
: Little Kenneth Clair; born :
: Feb. 17th, 1896. This child is :
not born out of wedlock nor of I
: low parentage. - .
The note is reproduced accurately as,
to spelling and punctuation. It wai
written in bold hand, of good penman
ship, but thought by Mr. Farley to be
woman's writing. The only other clu
to the little one's identity is the cos
mark attached to a slip, the only extra
one put in the basket, and upon which'
was the maker's trademark, the mer
chant's cost mark in cipher, and the
selling price in figures, 90 cts. Mr. Far-,
ley took the cost mark to every store I
ine uaiies, ana found, it was not pur
chased here. He has reached the con
elusion that it was left by some parties
aboard the morning train, who azain
took the train after depositing the charge.
Mr. Farley lives in that part of town
where the train stops at the depot. The
train stops about fifteen minutes, giving
plenty of time to make the errand and
retnrn to the train. The basket con'
tainea a iew cracuer crumbs and bad a
grease spot on the bottom, indicating its
recent use for a lunch basket.
As soon as the excitement caused by
the baby's unexpected advent had sub
sided a little, Grandma Blakeney was
called in to help care for it. Another
lady, a neighbor, was called, and volun
teered to supply the demands of appe
tite from the maternal fount, but it was
not hungry, and had evidently been
nursed about ten minutes before.
The baby has dark blue eyes ; the
color of its hair has not been deter
mined yet, it will have to grow first;
the slip in which it was dressed is hand
embroidered and., its other clothing
would f indicate that it is the child of
people of education and refinement. Mr.
Farley has not determined what he will
eventually do with the little stranger,
bat if he caters to the wish of his little
daughter he will keep it. She was very
much elated over the discovery this
morning, and mystified as elated. Al
though it is "very sudden," she accepts
the situation with perfect equanimity
and exhibits the pride ef a mother in
showing the new arrival to her little
friends.

The case of State of Oregon vs. D. Mc-
Kelvey was dismissed, and was not per
mitted to go to the jury, the facts in the
evidepce not being sufficient to warrant
a question of guilt. McKelvey had
taken a three-year lease of a farm be
longing to E. C. Dickerson, with a priv
ilege of five. Before the expiration of
the time the owner of the farm bad a
good opportunity to eell. It became de
sirable to abrogate the lease held by Mr.
McKelvey and it was Bet aside by a jus
tice of ithe peace. Under this state of
affairs the arrest of McKelvey was in
stigated for feeding from a stack of hay
owned jointly bv the two. In circuit
court it was shown" the justice of the
peace exceeded his jurisdiction, and
therefore that McKelvey had committed
no crime. .
Vogt .Block to tie Rebuilt.
Oar citizens will be pleaded to learnl
that the Vogl block will be rebuilt.
Plans are now in the 'bands ft Contrac
tor Glenn for its constsncnon. It will
look like the former stfovure, which
perished in the great fire of 1892, with
the middle story left out. This was a
magnificent block, as the towering walls
which yet remain, will attest, and was
built is 18S9. The new building, like
the old, will contain six store fronts and
two large hallways on Second street,
and one hallway on Federal. Its main
dimensions are 100x150 feet. It will
have two pedaments, one containing the
words "Vogt Block," the other the fig
ores "1896."
The Knights cf Pythias will use about
half of the upper floor for a ball, which
s to be something very tine.
A ntnlomatlc Tutor.
From a French journal comes this
little anecdote of a tutor and his royal
pupil: The lesson was in Roman history
and the prince was unprepared. "We
come now to the Emperor Caligula.
What do you know about him, prince?"
The qnestion.was followed by a silence
that was becoming awkward, when it
wa broken by the diplomatic tutor.
"Your hiphness is right," he said, "per
fectly right. The less said about this
wnperor the better."
