How The Whipping I'ost Works. New York Star. "Uur whipping post doesn't seem to take very well with your people up here," said (Jovernor liiggs of Delaware shortly after he had made his great "short talk" at the Tam many centennial, I told him that there did seem to he something of a feeling in New York against the whipping post aud other methods of Kith century punishment. J Well," continued the hl gentle" man, "we are old-fashioned pcop e itown in Delaware, and I presume we .are way behind the times in a good ninny things, and rather set in our Ways, and that method of dealing witn certain classes of criminals is iue of oar ways. Now 1 am not an apologist for the whipping post, be cause I don't believe that Delaware needs any apologies to be made for her people or her acts, and it 1 uiu they wouldn't enme with very good grace from her executive; but I can tell you some f.ids, 'i'liere i net in the State of Dela ware to-day a siugie penitentiary. It a man beats his wife or sets fire to a neighbor's baru, or breaks into a house, he isn't shut up with a lot of other criminals with full time and op portunity to learn aU their tricks of oeviltry that he did not know before.

NOTES. I'uiNEvii.LE, August 24, The t?tti!iam road across the Cascades is now lu good condition. W. W. Ray hauled a load of 1000 pounds Ter it with one spun of horses last week. . Large quantities of wool are be ing hauled from Crook county to Albany, the price there being: about 5 cents io advance of The Dalles market. A big trade will flow from Eastern Oregon icto Albany as soon as the Orzgin Pacific rail road reaches this region. Ed Schmecr arrived from Albany last Sunday, having crossed the Oaeitrir ty tirofcMrtiani route-. Whiie crossing the mountain Iw says several times he was compelled to dodge trees that wtre fallmg in the road in the section where the forest tires were raging. As harvcst proceeds it becomes more evident that the yield of grain 19 belter than was expected. Many of the farmers who have finished threshiDg say they have about half as much grain as they did last year, and a few have about the same as they had on previous seasons. But even this will not furnish enough grain to supply the demand for the country, and it is safe to say two thirds of the flour and ne-iourtu of the grain for feed will have to be shipped into the country. Koox Huston states that five hcrse thieves from Gilliam county passed through the northern part ofthecountv last Saturday, going west with fourteen head of stolen horses, Mr. Huston saw two of the thieves on Curran creek early Saturday morning with a pack mule and several horses. John JJoggs, an ex convict, and two ot the lircedinT: boys are said to be in the party. They were heard of this week encamped on the McKenzie river, and are supposed to be head ing for Lane county, where Boggs' relatives livt. Sheriff S.'oau, if Laue county, has been asked to intercept them, and it is hoped he has them in custody by this time. STATE GKASGE T03 WASHISGTOS.

Showers of rain fell in the Wil lamette Va'.iey and along the coast on Sunday aud Monday. Ia the southern part of Benton Co. the accompanied by hale. In Linn Co. near Albany, hale about the size of a pea fell. There ia uo re port of any rain, in any other part ot the state durisg the week. The showers were hcneucial to tnc grasses and late garden products. Liitt.e 01 auy o a mage was umuc.w the sacked wheat or wheat stacks in the fields. The atmosphere was considerably cleared of smoke by the showers and they uau a tendency to dampen the forest fires. The sunshine was about normal; the morning's in Western Oregon being cloudy or foggy for a lew hours', in E .stern Oregon generally cloudless sky prevailed. The wheat harvest is about finished in all sections of the state and reports continue to be received "wheat is turning out better than was ex pected." The largest yield per acre is reported trom Hubbard Mariou Co. where C8J bushels per acre were obtained, GO bushels per acre were obtained in Linn Co. and near Weston, Umatilla Co. These are the the highest authentic yields so far reported. The Rogue River Valley has a much larger yield than was expected. The Umpqua Valley will export more wheat this year than last. The whole Willam ette will have more wheat to ex port than last year, the same lor the Grando Ronde, Indian and other valleys of Union Co. The when in these sections is of good quality, average sized grain and plump. Morrow Co. will export more wh'.-- than ever before, though in quality slightly poom, the increased acreage was vny g:eat there. Wasco, Sherman and Gilliam countie3 will havo a greatly reduced yield and of very poor quality, though even here there are exceptions. Umatilla Co. has in places good yields, in others very poor. Some claim for this county '.hat there will not be ever one fourth the usual -.mount of good mi)lin wheat. Future figures alone can determine that some fields were not worth cutting for even hay; bouie yielded S bushels, per acre, but most fields r.v-;ifed more.

St. James Gazette, A verdict of death from tight lacing is, perpaps, still to be enught among the curiosities of law, but a Birming ham jury have come near it in a ver dict of death from pressure round the waist. The victim wd a poor ser vant girl, who died after a fright, and her death was attributed by the med ical witnesses to the fact that she was too tightly belted to enable her to stand tho wear and tear of any sad den emotion. She was a notorious tight lacer; her collar fitted so closely that it was impossible to loosen it at the critical moment, and undtr her stays she wore a belt so remorselessly buckled as to prevent the free circula tion of the blood.
