IN THE DEAD LETTEK OFFICE
Whoro Now Hampshire Woman
Found Her Wedding; rresent.
There is likely to be a recovery
over at the dead letter ottice, and
the museum will lose one ot its
choicest treasures. When the
department festival was held
there the young woman who had
"dead letter exhibt" took some of
the museum curiosities to put in
it. Among them was an elephant
that had been supposed to have
been destined for some infant
prodigy. It is a peculiar elephant.
On one side was the flag of Eng
land, on the other flank that of the
United States, the two being con
nected by a line of 3traggling links.
The elephant occupied a place of
honor. Suddenly there was a cry,
"That's my elephant!" and a
woman made haste to the table
and gave the beast a cordial wel
come. Then she explained that
years ago a friend of hers, an
American, had man ied an English
man named Link, that accounting
for the queer design on the ele
phant, which had been intended
lor a wedding present. The wo
man lives in New Hampshire and
was here on a visit when she re
cognized her lost quadruped. The
elephant is still on hia accustomed
shelf in the dead letter museum,
but his creator will noon visit the
oflice. go through the necessery
formalities and start the elephant
once more on his trip to Mi. and
Mrs. Lank. Washington Tost.
Whiskered Catfish In the Columbia.
Astoria Bulletin. Captain Will
Warner, of the steamer Fisher.
brought up a catfish about fifteen
inches long yesterday which was
caught in one of the traps near
iMinil island and is one of the breed
known on the Eastern rivers as
vellow cats. It is an mrlv lonkinu
brute with a mouth out of all pro
portion to its size and has whiskers
about three inches long on each
side of its face. These destructive
fish are said to be multiplying
quite rapidly and in due course of
time will succeed in diminishing
tne salmon supply, it the brain
less idiot who first conceived the
idea of stocking undented Western
waters with these ugly, worthless
tisli would find some method for
removing them he would confer a
blessing on all interested in the
salmon industry.
While the Electric Lights Were Oft'
A story comes to me from Athens
which is almost too good to be
true, but quite too good to be with
held. The Privy Council had a
meeting in the room set apart for
them in the glaring, white stucco
ed palace. It was evening, and
the President had just risen to ad
dress his colleagues, lavimr.
according to custom, his
gold watch on the talle
in front of him, so that he might
mark time. Suddenly the electric
light went out, but after a short
interval returned. Then the
President discovered that his
watch, which was a present from
hia royal mastet, was missing. He
lamented, and invited his col
leagues to replace the watch, but
there was no reponse. He remind
ed them that the door was locked
and that the watch must be in the
possession of one of them. He
next put each member on hia
word of honor to say that he had
not got it ; which little performance
was promptly got through. The
President then remarked that the
situation had become embarras
sing; but as he wished to make
things easy for the culprit, who
had doubtless yielded to tempta
tion in a moment of weakness, he
would order the lights to be
again extinguished in order
to give him an oppor
tunity of restitution. This was
done ; and when the lights were
turned on the President found that
not only had he no watch, but
that be had also lost bis silver
inkstand ! Vanity Fair (Txmdon).
NORTHWEST H0TEB.
Mrs. M. E. Watkinds, widow of
W. H. (Bill) Wattinds, died at
the asylum in Salem on Monday
after a lingering illness.
The people of Salem raised a
subsidy for the big woolen mill, it
being agreed that 250,ii00 pounds
of wool a year should be manu
factured into cloth. The mill used
more tnan this last year, which
was the first year and is now on
the market for 400,000 pounds for
the second year's run.
The surveyors for the Siuslaw
Railway Company have now
crossed the summit of the range
of mountains that divide the Siu
slaw from the Willamette valley,
and the chief of engineers reported
to The West that the greatest
grade was less than 1 per cent or
a little below forty feet to the mile.
This is far below what was ex
pected and no one can longer
doubt the feasibility of this route
for a railroad to the sea.

is the forming of a Targe mudtlat in

forced to pull almost to the mouth
of the river, says the (Jazette, and

cannery, an extra pull of about
two miles; ana it is oniy at, ex

The y-vear-old son of Mr. Galo-

run over by the ti rat section of
Saturday forenoon's freight train
near Pendleton and had one of his
legs completely amputated at the
knee. The boy ran to lioaid the
train in a spirit of play and grasped
the rail of the iron ladder at the

as cleanly as a surgeon's knife.

LONDON'S GKOWTH.
The I'opulatlon Estimated al Near
ly Six Millions.
How steadily Ixjndon is grow
ing! The process of expansion
seems to go on with the relentless
silent force of nature herself.
During many year there has
been an annual addition to the
number of house in the metropo
lian about ll.(HH). or an average
of something like 000 a month.
There has been remarkably little
variation in the total yearly addi
tion. It might have been sup
posed that the last winter, with its
long-continued severe frost, would
have indicated that some check
had been given to the movement.
But it is not so. The increase for
the year ending March last is ex
actly 11,0!7. Building seeniB to
have gone on in spite oi ine
weather. On the date mentioned
the total number of houses in the I
metropolis was 771,413, occupied

estimates set down at something
over 5,800,0.0. London Chroni
c!e. Millions or Crickets.
o.C. Luckey, Indian agent at
Warm Sirinsr8. was in Prineville
recently and reported that crickets
had destroyed nearly all the crops
and gardens on the reservation
and had also eaten most of the
grass on the range. They made
tneir firsc appearance about tne
middle of last week, coming from
the northeast, and arrived at the
agency in swarms, andare traveling
west into the Cascade mountains,
where they w ill probably be frozen
to death. The armv of crickets is
about eight or ten miles long and
from two or three miles wide.
Whenever thev enter a field of
grain they take everything, leav
ing the ground bare, ine i nutans
are very much discouraged to see
their croDS thus destroyed Dy an
enemy they cannot subdue. Mr.
l.uckev says this raid by the
crickets will leave the Indians
without provisions for the next
year and there will be considera
ble sufferine among them if they
have to rely on theirown resources
for provisions.

from an extended trip through

ern Oregon and Washington,
Michenor says that within a few
weeks Eastern Oregon and Wash

ern people buying wheat
to ship East and under
favorable circumstances the
whole grain crops of that region
may go East. Rail rates to the
coast and rates at which ships can
be chartered will be prime factors
in this movement. I be nign
rates charged by shippers last

East, and unleas there is a reduc

Crops and Business.
We scarcely remember a year
when the reports from the differ
ent sections of the west were at
this date so generally and decided
ly nopetui. winter wheat, which
opened the season with a good
start, has made excellent progress
since ; Bpring wheat has a large
acreage, while oats hare been
seeded under the stimulus of high
prices, and the crop is likely to be
a large one, and to go into con
sumDtion at a irood hirure as soon
as harvested. Should no untow
ard event happen the results which
these prospects forecast, added to
the assurance that an abundant
yield of food products will meet a
large and urgent demand, must of
course mean good returns to the
railroads, and so long as this an
ticipation finds encouragement in
the reports that come up from the
agricultural sections it is impossi
ble that confidence in such proper
ty should not be on the increase.

Out In Jacksou County.
Jacksonville Times.
Mayor Howard is grieving over
the ruin of his promising orchard
on Evans creek, the trees all hav
ing been girdled with a saw by a
devilish wretch just at the crown
of the roots. Thev hang such
miscreants in some sections of
the country.
The orchardists in Southern
Oreaon will find themselves under
the necessity of generally thinninp
out, even to the sacrificing ol nan
the young fruit, so heavily loaded
are the trees, the sooner tne
work is done the Ik tter, or praall
fruit must be the rule the coming
season.
It may be that Burtenshaw, the
lawver who robbed a poor old
woman of several dollars at Ash
and recently, will not escape
justice altogether. Ihe next grand
jury will probably cont-ider the cage
ana una an lnaicuneni, n u i
thought it can be made to stick.
Hon. J. C. lohnan will erect a
dwelling house and several bath
houses at the poison spring on
emigrant creek in a short time,
near the scene of the old Indian
Bweat-houses in early days. The
Indians had an unswerving belief
that a few days of perspiring at
these springs would sweat the very
devil out of a man and return him
to the bosom of a family pure and
undefiled as undrifted enow. The
judge has an idea that the waters
will still produce tne same c uect,
and has concluded to give the
eprings a show to illustrate their
virtues by testing them on him
self and a few chosen friends who
have grown weary of living the
lives they live at present. If the
waters do what is hoped for them
in purifying the subjects, they
will deserve a flaming advertise
ment; and in common with the
rest of the community we shall
anxiously await the result while
devoutly praying that the devils
will see fit to come out of the
judge's frame. They are wily
devils, however, and have made
their home there a long time, and
we fear they will be loth to leave
their wonted haunts.
Don't Apply To Cities.
City Attorney Curtis, of Astoria,
has been corresponding in refei-
ence to the applicability of the
Australian ballot to municipal elec
tions, Under date of the 21st Joe.
Simon writes as follows: "The
Australian ballot law, prepared by
the ballot reform league, was not
intended to affect municipal elec
tions. The act itself deals only
with county and state elections."
Judge Adams, Portland's city at
torney, writes on the same date:
there is nothing in our Portland
chharter regarding the Aus
tral ion ballot law, nor is
there any reference to such
law in the consolidation char
ter, on which we are to vote ou the
1st prox. 1 do not think the law
applies to municipal elections."

One Way or Driving an Obnoxious
Tenant off a Farm.
Toi kka, Kas.. May 26. Joseph
Bennett, ho bought a farm in
Washington township, borrowed
money from a Jewell City firm to
make the first payment and put in
his crops. When the note fell due
Bennet did not have the money to
take them up, and his place
was sold by the sheriff. He re
fused to give possession and was
ejected. Joseph Kindlesberger
then occupied the tarm as a tenant
of the pjrehers. Bennett is a
member of the farmers alliance.
Thirty or forty masked men, with
Bennett at their lu ad drew upat the
place Sunday night, and requested
the new tenant to leave. He re
fused to do so, whereupon revolvers
were drawn and he was told he
could either leave at once or his
dead body would be carted off.
Bennett was then reainstated, and
still holds the place. Kindlea
Itcrger has the names of the leaders
of the mob, aud will institute civil
and criminal proceedings againat
them. The officers in this county
are all farmers' alliance men, in
