ing liquors in the hands of officers ap
pointed by the Etate.
A special train from Chicago yester
dav made the run to Denver, 1026 miles,

Senator George Turner of Washington
advocates the election of United States
senators by popular vote'. He says : "I
thiuk it would result in the election of

every man who knows George Turner

He speaks by card.
The arrangements for the inaugura

K. D. Gordon's oil well, in Looking
Glass, Douglas county, has ended like
the last net of a comedy, fcays the Riddle
Mite, A sample of the product was1
sent to be testedj and the reply was re
turned C. O. D. at a cost of $10. When
opened, it suid the fluid contained co
much per cent refined petroleum aud so
much "lard oil," and advised the owner
cot to continue operations.
The woman's suffrage amendment to
the constitution of the state of Nevada,
was defeated in the assembly yesterday
by u vote of 15 to 13. The legislature

Kansas legislature the citue day took
similar action on the question.

clothes, doing little damage, however.
The new law passed by congress to
prevent the Bale of intoxicating liquors
to Indians is a stringent one. The mini
mum fine is $100 and costs, and further
provides that the offender shall be im
prisoned until the fine and costs are paid.
As the man who sells liquor to Indians
is generally a hobo, and could not raise
$100 in 100 years, the sentence would
virtually be imprisonment for life.
It may be some satisfaction to thdse
who failed to pass the teachers' examin
ation, to know that at all ttte other ex
aminations .held in the state, the result
was about the same as in this county,
about, two-thirds of the applicants fail
ing. In Umatilla county there were
thirty-five applicants, and only eleven
passed, and of six trying for first grade
all failed. The examination was an ex
ceptionally severe one.
ThomaB Berk is a rancher, living out
in the foothills which border the line
between Mason and Thurston counties.
Recently he took his gun and went back
in the hills to see if he could find a bear
tree. He was out all forenoon, and had
about given up finding one, when he ran
on a big hollow cedar stump that
"showed signs." He built a fire and
tried to smoke the beast out, but did not
succeed. Cutting a pole, he got on top
of the stump to see if he could not etir
bruin out. In trying to get a firm foot
hold on the stump he Blipped and went
into the stump feet first. The hear
started out, and at the same time
pushed Tom out head first into a pile of
brush, and before Berk could pull him
self together the bear got away, says the
Olympian.

were showered upon them. They wore

When Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Wilson ar
rive in Portland this evening, they will
need an introduction to their trunk fo
they will not recognizo it without. The
boys got hold of it, and when they got
through with it, it was a beauty 6ure;
presenting a tout ensemble calculated to
bring a tremor of fear to the stoutest of
bridegroom's heart. It was entirely too
complicated for a brief newspaper de
scription. One end of it supported a
rubber over-shoe, an old gaiter, nnd a
collection of old shoes. In front was an
immense horse shoe, then there were
railroad guides and folders, and a dozen
glaring advertising cards proclaiming in
incarnadine letters the merits of Bab
bit's .Soap, Somebody's Potash, Corn
Cure, Spavin Cure, Castoria and a dozen
other patent medicine advertisements,
and over the whole lot were strips and
festoons of whito silk ribbons. The
trunk had its bridal costume on, sure.

The most expensivo book ever pub
lished in the world, says the Chicago
Record, is the official history of tho war
of the rebellion, which is now being is
sued by the government of the United
States, at a cost up to date of $2,324,328.
Of this amount $1,184,291 has been paid
for printing'and binding. Tho remain
der was expended for salaries, rent, sta
tionery and other contingent and miscel
laneous expenses, and for the purchase
of records from private individuals. It
will require at least three years longer
and an appropriation of perhapb $000,000
to complete the work, so that tho total
cost will undoubtedly reach nearly $3,
000,000. It will consist of 112 volumes.
Only 51,194 cooies have been sold for
a total of $30,154.
