The State Will Foot The Bill.
Saixm, Jan. 18.. Sculp bounty certifi
cates t" the amount ol over $4000 were
received ut tliu office of the secretary to
day. The largest certificate was that
for ifllWi, issued by Harney county to J.
M. ballon, of Hums. Thin instrument
certifies to thu killing of 4110 coyotes and'
(il wildcats. Up to tbo cIoho of the year
MOO, Hctilp bounty warrants to tbo
amount of $100,000 bad been issued.
Sinn,' tlmt lime the clerks In tbo office
of tins seuratary of state have been too
buny to Ihmio warrants of any kind, und
mi record Ihih been kept of the airgri-gute
ol certilieati'H received. It is estimated
tluu tlm total is now near tbo $110,000
murk. Only about 10 pur cent of this
amount Iiiib beeu paid into the scalp
bounty fund.
That Hie legislature, at its present see
aiou, will provide for the payment of the
scalp lionnty warrants there seems to be
little tlmiht. The members from EaBturn
Orison are standing snlidly for the inter
ests of tiieir section in this mattur, und,
apparently, will meet with scarcely any
opposition from Western Oregon. A
Urge porportion of thu scalp bounty
warriuitH have passed out of thu bauds
of tlm persons who killed the animals
for which the warrants wore issued, and
are now owned by Investors or store
keepers, who procured them at from 50
to KO cents on the dollor. As the war
wants draw ti tier cent interest, they will
prove a profitable investment.

I.o.siiox, .Ian. 18 At. the beginning of
tliu 'JUlh cfiitnry, English thinkers are
studying over the disturbing fact, that
the birthrate of Great llritiiiu has great
ly diminished. So great is the decline
in this regard that it is asserted that
there has been u decline of 17 per cent
during the last quarter of the last cen
tury. The luxury of these days is telling
on tiie Anglo-Saxon, as well as upon the
('.ml, und produces this sharp diminution
of birth-force. The economists ure await
ing with pome anxiety tbo figures from
Hie United States und Russia. If they
should show no diminution in this re
spect the feeling of uneasiness would in
crease, inasmuch as Germany is growiug
!' population steadily. Franca is try
ing to arrest its loss by ollering bountiop.
It renmins to be seen what Kugluud will
do. Meanwhile, it ie plain that the ad
vent of womon in tliu lines of occupation
formerly hold only by men makes them
inditluiont to marriage.

Nw Mncliln Drill.
Colfax, Wash., Jan. 10. W. W.
Waite, of this place, has secured a pat
ent on a new kind of machine drill for
all kinds of work requiring drilling in
rock. The invention promises to revolu
tionize the present methods of mining.
Tho machine is operated by one man,
who simply turns a crank which revolves
a wheel, to which is attached four four-
pound hammers, which strikes the drill
with terrific force.
The machine, which was invented and
manufactured in Colfax, being made at
Carley Bros.' foundry, was on exhibition
here today, and attracted great interest.
At a moderate rate of speed, 1!10 blows
were struck by the hammers in one
minute. This is said to be the work of eight
able-bodied men. The machine turns so
easily a boy can operate it with ease. A
number of mining men who witneseed
the exhibition say it will revolutionize
mining, and greatly lesson the present
cost of drilling, and will make many low
grade properties profitable minee. The
machine is made entirely of iron, and
weighs but 125 pounds. Mr. Waite has
been at work on it for several months,
but did not announce it to the public
until today, when he received the an
nouncement that his application for
patent had been received, and that the
device bus never been patented.
THE LATEST AILMENT.
It la Hlactro-Fanltla, or a Sneeclnjr
Cold, Canard by (ha Elec
tric Fan.
A brand-new hot weather ailment
has whirled into existence, aays the
rhilttdelphia North American.
It is electro-fanitis. Perhaps you
have got it, as no clnss is immune.
It's a sneezing, coughing eold in the
head caused by the germ-laden breezes
of the electric fan.
It is almost epidemic in Philadel
phia. If you are a victim hurry to a
physician or drug store and ask for a
powerful anti-phlogistic, remedy. That
is, something to relieve inflammation
of the mucous membrane of the head,
which is what electro-fanitis is.
This nil me,- by the way, bus been
agreed upon by eminent medico-philologists.
The utlix "itis," meaning "in
flammation," was selected been use it
is the term which of late years hub
been applied to all new inflammatory
ailments. It may lie pruuouced cither
e-tis, like e in each, or i-tis,- like i in
idol.
Unless promptly cjired electro-fanitis
may develop into the two other dis
eases of the same family tonsilitis
and bronchitis.
The victims of the new ailment in
clude bankers, merchants, clerks.
stenographers, barbers, and in fact
.very class of people who perform in
door work, where electric inns arc in
operation. Patrons of restaurants,
upon whose heads the artiliclal breeze
generators are played while they eat,
also form a large proportion of Hie
sutlerers.
Physicians report that the majority
of complaints come from barbers, who
stand for hours at a ti lie under tin1
whirring fans. Many of their custom
er are also affected. Among the city
officers dozens of eases exist.
The most distressing and annoying
characteristic of electro-fanitis is that
it is never contracted except in hot
weather, and there is nothing,-' more
distressing than a summer cold. 5e
ing caused by artificial atmospheric
conditions, it is much more dirhcult to
cure than an ordinary cold.
Dr. P. It, Cleaver, of this city, de
scribes the causes and peculiarities of
the complaint as follows:
"The principal reason why the air
currents produced by electric fans so
readily ciuife inflammation of the mu
cous membrane of the head is that
the drafts are sudden and easily im
press the system of the patient, whose
vitality has already been lowered by
the heat.
"Then these currents of air are not
the fresh waves of ozone which are in
circulation outdoors. The artltieial
breezes are nothing but impure air
forced into motion. A steady blowing
wind at the seashore Vvould not affect
the membrane, whereas the whlrlV
electric breezes cause inflammation,
The patient who Is suffering from the
latter cause ought to secure prompt
treatment. Teh coal tar preparations
arc about the best remedy."
