WHEAT MARKET.
San Fbancisco Spot wheat is firm at
an advance ; speculative business prac
tically at a standstill ; Chicago Decem
ber wheat went beyond the dollar mark
but dropped. Barley, unchanged ; mar
ket firm. Oats firm.
Portland There is but little change
in the local wheat situation. Exporters
will not go above 76c as a track quota'
tion for Walla Walla, but millers are
reported to be paying fully a cent above
these figures. Local flour trade is quiet,
but there is a fairly good shipping de
mand.
Wheat Walla Walla, 7576c; blue
etem and Valley, 7879c.
Flour Portland Salem, Cascades and
Dayton are quoted at $3.85 per barrel
Golden Pheasant, $4.25; graham, $3.40;
superfine $2.25.
Uhicago The opening in wneat wa9
firm, May starting at 94c. There was
moderate buying at the start, influenced
by strength at Liverpool, where Jd
advance was recorded, in the face of a
Jc decline here yesterday. The
earlv firmness shown by corn and oats
also helped. . There was official confir
mation of the small exports from all
countries to Europd last week. A weak
jepell succeeded the firm start, caused by
f the heavy receipts in Chicago and the
"iJorlh west, and an estimate that Argen
tine would have an exportable surplus
- of 600,000 buBhels. Trading was very
- dull, and tbe market broke very easy on
the moderate offerings, May selling down
ito 93c.
The Letter people were conspicuous
buyers on the advance. After 12 o'clock
the market experienced another weak
apell, during which May dropped to
:9393c, but toward the close the
market became quite strong again, and
. gradually recovered to 94c, where it
-closed. December was weak early, but
rshot up to $1.00J on the selling of prob
ably 25,000 bushels. Afternoon deliv
eries of wheat amounted to 250,000
ibushels. half of which came from Ar
mour, Allen & Grier receiving it.
NEWS NOTES'
T.ate reports from Dawson state that :
two fires occurred in that place recently,
and that a large amount of provisions
and liquor were destroyed.
George Sader, who lives alone near
Weston, in Yamhill county, was found

and the prospects are for a lively skir
mish.. ... - -v
Thirty person b arrived at Seattle
Wednesday from Dawson. Tbey came
to Dyea, where they took the steamer in
-different ''parties. .The last party to
leave Dawson left November 25th. All
of them came up the frozen Yukon and
out over Chilcoot pass. Concerning the
food situation at Dawson, all say that
there is more alarm felt over the situa
tion outside than is felt,by the people of
Dawson, who, while they have no great
eurplnB, have sufficient to last them un
til late in the spring. Whatever dan
I
ger of starvation existed has been avert
ed by the exodus of a large number of
people from Dawson to Fort Yukon and
the departure of a great many people op
the river to the coast.
TRAGEfJY IN HARNEY COUNTY.
An
Account of the. Murder of
French, the Cattle King.
Peter French, the cattle king of East
ern Oregon, was assassinated on trie
afternoon of Sunday , the 26th, in his
own field near what is known as the Sod
House ranch, by a man of the name of
Edward L. Oliver.
French and his men were working
some cattle, when this man Oliver came
into the field where they were at work,
and Mr. French rode out to where he
was, and after talking with him two or
three minutes, turned to ride away,
when Oliver drew bia pistol, which
snapped the first time, and the second
time he shot French just above the right
ear, the ball coming out in the left eye.
Burt trench, the murdered man e
ftfjroiher, was within thirty
feet of him
IVhen
he fell off his horse, and picked
4jm Qp at ne never ep0ke, and only
(.groaned once. There were eight of his
men there at work and they allowed the
assassin to escape.
The sheriff went from Burns to the
scene of the murder, and will probably
eet the murderer. His men stretched a
tent over mm ana leit Dim lust wnere
he fell until the arrival of the coroner to
hold an inquest. The sad occurrence
cast a deep gloom over the entire com
munity. "
PROVING HIS POINT.
the Mesmerist Convinced
His
Aodlence of Bia Power.
Several prominent people were talk-
mg togetner recenxiy in me uimaiu
room of the principal hotel in a large
provincial town in the north when a
well-known conjurer ana mesmerist
came to see if the bill poster had left
any of his programmes, says the Scot
tish Nigrhts. Two or three gentlemen
began to poke fun at the professor and
intimated that there was some trickery
in his performance.
Finally the mesmeric professor stood
upon his dignity and offered to give a
free exhibition of his skill then and
there. He said that he would so place
ne of the party when under his influ
ence that when he had caused the sub
ject to grasp his own nose he could not
eave the room without taking his
fingers from his nose.
The wager was accepted and one of
the party, an alderman, gave himself
up to the influence of the. mesmerist,
who placed him by the side of an iron
column at the end of the room, told him
to close his eyes, and made a few passes
jver his face. He then took the alder
man's arm, brought it round the col
umn and put his nose between his
fingers. After a few morepasses the
oroiessor said:
"Now, sir, you cannot leave the room
without taking your linger from your
Qose.
The victim opened his eyes and at
.nee saw the point of the joke.
THE MARINE ENGINEER.
n Officer -with Vast Responsibilities
for Which He Seldom Gets Credit.
From the time, less than 60 years ago
when the first steam vessel crossedHhe
Atlantic the evolution of the marine
engineer has been rapid, 'but he is the
one class of marine craftsman that,
above all others, has kept pace with
the developments of this fast speeding
age, and he stands to-day the most fin
ished product of a century that has
created more new types and more new
occupations than any that has preceded
it, says the Pall Mall Magazine. The
marine engineer to-day is more impor
tant than any deck officer, but his im
portance is as little recognized by the
nonseafanng man as his laenitity is
concealed from the view of those who
travel in ships.- Down in the bowels
of the vessel, he controls not only the
propulsion, but the steering, lighting,
pumping, anchoring, ventilation of the
modern marine structure, . and on the
warship he is even responsible for the
manipulation of heavy guns. The eyes
that steer the ship are those of the
officer, of the watch, but the brain that
guides the ship to her destination and
regulates her internal economy is the
brain of the marine engineer, iie is
the real responsibility, and, we are
afraid, his is the least share of the hon
or that is given to those who serve
their country or their employers with
courage and devotion, on the sea. ' ,

LAUNDRESS TOOK THE HINT.
Made a Buttonhole Large Enonnh for
the Soldier's Improvised Button.
The private soldiers' washing at a
home station is usually done by the
married soldiers' wives, who .are ex
pected to sew on missing buttons and
do general repairs. Patrick McGmnis,
says the Troy Times, had a good deal
of trouble with his laundress. Sunday
.after Sunday had his shirt come back
with the collar button off or else hang
ing by a thread. He had spoken to her
on the subject, and she had promised
to see to it, but still the buttons were
always missing. One Sunday he got
out of patience when a missing button
had made him late for church parade.
"Bad luck to the woman!"' he ex
claimed. "Begorra, I'll give her a hint
this time, anyhow!" He then took the
lid of a tin blacking box about three
inches in diameter, drilled two holes in
it with a fork and sewed it on the shirt,
which he sent .to be washed. When his
washing came back he found his laun
dress had taken the hint. " She had
made a buttonhole to fit it!
