Word ru.mlied hero today that a fright "I tragt-ily occurred at Trout Lake yes , "'' resulting in the death of a young l4"y school toachor, named Ida M.

Miss Foss wbb the daughter of Mr. nnd MrB. William Fuse, of Kafit Hood Kiver. She was well known in The Dalles, and by nil who knew her was esteemed a most estimable young young Indy. IIir ago was about "(I years. Several prominent stockmen have re turned from Shimiko and the interior mid Hay that the completion of tlio road into Shaiiikn will result in the shipping I of about 25,000 sheep from that point In about ten days. The sheep will bo shipped much earlier this year than formerly, ow mg to their fine condition. Most of the sheep will go to Montana, while some will go os far oast as Chi cago. The report that appearud in Sunday's Oreg.inian to the effect that Lloyd, son of Mr. and Mrs. U. F. Laughlin of this city, was "critically ill" at the Good Samaritan hospital is not trie, On the contrary tlio lnd is getting along nicely, and today his parents expected to move him from thohospitul to the Vendome hotel, and from thence it was expected he would bo well enough in a few days to be moved home. I'lainly It is not hard for the Indians to pet whiskey in this town. Some of the Yakimas recently filled themselves with the white man's lire water after being paid for the horses thoy sold to the Linnton cannery people. Last night the watchman found an Indian lying helplessly drunk on the sidewalk. He was helped to the calaboose, where he was kept till ho had sobered up, when, as he had nothing wherewith to pay n line, ho was turned loose. The Regulator took down to Stevon s'on yesterday 1700 head of sheep belong ing to J. L. Lauder, of .Salt Springs, where they will he placed on tho range back of Stevenson for the summer. Among them was an oddity in the way of a lamb of about a month old that had boon paralyzed from birth in its hind quorters and followed tho band, using only its fore feet. When it starts to walk its hindquarters are balanced in the air after the fashion of a boy walk ing on his hands. Word was sont from Hood Kiver yes terday to Judge Mays that the authori ties down there had a crazy man In custody whom it took three men to keep from doing mischief, and asking what should be dono witn him. Tho judge advised that under the circumstances lie had better be examined tlioro before a justice and, if found Insane, sent on to Salem, the proper papers being duly forwarded from here. The man was committed and sent below. His name h Evart and till lately be has been living across the Columbia from Hood Kiver. It is repotted that whiskey had a good deal to do with bringing him to hie present condition. 'It is not often that the preachers get us newspaper folks into trouble, but things are happening these days that never happened before. In reporting a wedding tbat be had celebrated last Saturday mornirjg, one of our best known preachers somehow got the names mixed up so that Tin; Ciiiioniclc reported the marriage of. the witnesses, or bride's maid and groom's man, in stead of the bride and bridegroom. Happily the mistake was only in the newspaper report, for Brother Poling tied Albeit Limiueroth and Edith Un derl. ill so tightly together that no sub sequent slip of the tongue or error of the types can untie them. By a bill introduced by Senator Mc Millan, it is proposed to reprint all $1, $2 and $5 bills now in existence, as they come into the treasury, and replace them with "post checks" of like denom inations, with blank spaces for names, for convenience in making remittances, as well as to pass, as the present bills do, from hand to hand. Thus the pres ent pieces of paper currency, and also proposed fractional checks, can bo trans formed at will into personal checks on the government for the amount they represent, and by affixing a two-cent stamp may be transmitted by mail any where, regardless of whether the des tination is a money-order oflice or not. It is thought that the proposed post- check money will bo an accommodation to very many people, and will increase the postal revenues. Careful experiments made at Cornell university are said to show that: "First, cut. nulls are superior to wire nails in all positions; second, the main advantage of the wire nail is due to its possessing a sharp point j third, if cut nails were pointed they would be 30 per cent more efficient in direct tension; fourth, wire nails without points have but ons-half their ordinarg holding power; fifth, the surfaco of the nail should be slightly rough, but not barbed barbing de creases the efficiency of cut nails about 32 per cent." The pointed end enables the nail to enter wood without breaking its fibre excessively, thus preventing its grip. A set lous defect of wiro nails is their leadiness to rust. They are made generally of a sort of soft steel, and steel rusts more readily than eouio other forms of iron. In some parts of the country, it is said, shingles put on with wiro nails drop off after six or eight yeare. Ualtlmnre Sun'. Notice, Columbia River Ico &.

A. S. Roberts as the two met on the street this morning, "that the Times-Mountaineer charges you with having ignored a petition that was sent to yon at Salem, during the last legisla tive session, asking you to introduce a bill to have the salaries of the county judge ai.d treasurer reduced. What have you to say about it?" "I never heaid of anv such petition till I saw the matter mentioned in the Times-Mountaineer last Saturday," answered Mr. Roberts. "Most certainly no such peti tion waa ever sent to me. Nor did any one, at any time during the session of the legislature, or at any time before it met, ask me to work tot a reduction of the salaries of anv county officers. This thing of a petition is a surprise to me. If it was sent to me 1 never got it. If it was sent to any other of the delega tion he never gave me the slightest hint of it. Right here and now I may just as well Bay that if the taxpayers of this county want a reasonable horizontal re duction of the salaries of its officers thev have only to say so, and they will find no one who will work harder to carry out their wishes than I will. I do not think, however, that any two or three of the officers, should be singled out for a reduction jtiet because some body might have a spite against them, or for any similar reason. If any re duction is demanded let the people say so, by petition or otherwise, and I will obey them with all the energy I can command ; but let it effect all equally, as far as may be just and right. Let no one, however, blame me for ignoring a petition that I never heard of till the time mentioned. If the Times-Mountaineer has any evidence that I ever heard of this petition during the session of the legislature, I, for one, would like a bill of particulars."
