and Hilarious
By unanimous opinion the Wyom
ing snpreme court Friday held that the
equal-suffrage amendment was adopted
at the recent election. The consittution
provides that an amendment shall be
come part of tbe constitution if a major
ity of the electors shall vote for it. At
the election tbe amendment received
12,126 votes, while 6228 were cast against
t. There were, however, 29,516 votes
cast for electors, and it was held by the
state canvassing board that a majority
of that number was necessary to carry
the amendment. . The question was
taken into the supreme court on a peti
tion for a writ of review, and was argued
by some of the leading attorneys in the
state. In deciding the case . the court
says it is impossible to harmonize the
conflicting authorities on . the subject,
but that the language of the section ot
the constitution was considered in con
nection with the language of the other
sections of the same article, and clearly
shows it was intended that a majority
voting on an amendment should be
sufficient.
The decision carries two other amend
ments with it. One of these does away
with the office of district attorney, sub
stituting county attorneys. The other
segregates the offices of probate judge
and county school superintendent.
Damaged tne Trees.
Reports from Hood River and Hosier
indicate tbat considerable damage was
done to fruit trees by the recent cold
snap. It came so early tbat this year's
growth of wood had not yet hardened,
and the result was disastrous. An ex
amination ot the young orchards shows
that the bark bad burst and. turned
black. The extent of the damage can
not be told until later, but we hope it
is not so great as tbe orchardists eeem
to fear. -
The Regulator Tuesday. .
An effort is being made to start a
Labor Exchange here by Mr. Barzee and
others. The name is somewhat mis
leading, the idea being to arrange for the
exchange of tbe products of labor, and
especially those of the farmer. Several
such organizations are in existence in
the state, notably one in Salem, and all
seem to be giving satisfactory results.
Under the system adapted for their
management, any member can deposit
anything he has to sell, and will receive
far it a certificate, showing its value,
the certificate is transferable by indorse
ment, and will be redeemed at any time
by its equivalent in any kind of produce

It is not often permitted to a newsr:
paper in Ihese degenerate days, to
chronicle the wild and wooly happen
ings at a modern eocial dance, such as
used to happen in the good old days of
the coast, when gold dust was the money
of the country, and six-shooters its
statutes. Yet only a few days ago a
dance occurred, not in Wasco county, of
course, but not a thousand miles from it,
that would .have satisfied the cravings
for the sensational, that ' possessed the
old timers.
A set bad been formed, or was forming,
for a quadrille and as the dancers were
waiting for the music to start up, one 1
young lady for some cause unknown,
but presumably moved by that great
feminine motor, ' jealousy, walked up to
another girl in the set, and without
calling time, shaking bands or haggling
over a referee, drew back her muscular
right arm and dealt that other a blow
in the mouth that would have brought a'
storm of applause from tbe short-haired
patrons of San Francisco's social func
tions. The girl's head went back with a
snap that nearly dislocated her neck,
but she was not knocked down. In a
moment she gathered herself, the blood
of her English ancestors boiling in her
veins, and with tbe spring of a panther
she landed on her enemv. In a moment
tbe other girls in the set ' had taken a
hand, fur flew and claret flowed, ribbons,
buttons, laces and those innumerable
things that go to make the female get-up
a thing of beauty, were scattered on tbe
floor like shells on: the sand at a public
clam-bake. There was no chance to in
terfere with the combatants, for they
were mixed and intermingled "nntil one
could not be told from the other. The
men gathered around and let them fight
it oat, lending encouragement occasion'
ally by shouting, "Pull her hair I "Pound
her in the short rib!" and other re.
marks of a similar nature.. At the end
of five minutes three of the girls were
down and counted out, while t"he fourth
with one waving band : full of light
mauve hair, and the other flourishing a
gored skirt or two, was hailed as the
victor.
When the fight ended, a young fellow,
who had been gazing in wonder at the
Amazonian battle, felt his nerves were
utterly unstrung, and getting in the
corner he pulled a bottle of whisky from
his pocket and' proceeded to take
bracer. This was too much for the floor
manager, who could hardly . believe he
saw correctly. Walking over to the
violator of social etiquette, he sternly
asked him ifjhe had "ever been in the
society of ladies before?" and, "If he
did not know that hauling a bottle at
social function, was an insult to all the
female functionaries?" If he didn't, it
was time to leave, so .laying indignant
hands on the young fellow, he threw
him ignominiously out 6f the door. By
this time, tbe voung fellow's blood was
hot, and as he lit he pulled a pietol and
fired three shots in quick succession at
the man who endeavored to protect tbe
ladies from the insult of his presence.
The bullets went high, doing no damage
except to make three neat perforations
in the wall at tbe opposite side of tbe
bouse, but at the first fire a married lady
standing by the door,' threw . up her
hands with a gasp and fell in a dead
faint to theoor. Everybody thought
she was shot, and her husband, in his.
frenzy, commenced striking right and
left at everything in eight, getting e'ven
on the slayers of his ' wife.- The lady
soon came to, and quiet was ' restored,
but the dance was broken up. The fel
low who did the shooting skipped for
another state, the fainting woman was
taken home, the four Amazons departed,
t-aking witn them their tender escorts,
and the lightB went out.
We have the particulars from one
who says he knows, and be vouches
for their truth, only that they are not
told with that detail that would made
them much more of an exemplification
ot the dances of earlier days, and would
convince the old-timers that the chival
rous regard of gentleman ior ladies, so
boasted of in earlier days, and the gentle
lovliness or lovely gentleness of the fair
sex has not deteriorated.
We will not give tbe location of the
dance away, but we wish to inform the
public that there is a whole lotof wheat
money this side of the mountains tbat
says Corbett, Fitzslmmons nor Sharkey
can stay in the .ring with the black
haired Semiramis, who won tbe fight
above described, for four rounds.
