The democratic congressmen who attended the St. Louis national con vention had hardly settled them- selves in their seats again when the republican members left for their oonventiou in Chicago. , All is not well in congress during presidential campaigns. Legislation suffers be cause of the absence of members and those who remain cannot debate any question without interlading it with campaign talk, entirely irrel- evant to the subject On Monday, while the District police bill was under consideration. Representative Strubble, of Iowa, arraigned the majority in congress for giving no attention to the de nands for temperance legislation, Jeclaring that it was prohibition or lubstantial restriction of the sale of liquor in the District of Columbia that was needed more than increased police or police facilities. The com ii it tee to which the temperance bills lad been referred was attacked by Hr. Dingley for its remissness in ut having reported back these ueasures. He Raid the arrests for drunkenness in the state of Maine wjre not more than one-tenth the nimber of such arrests iu the Dis-trj-t. The District committee was defended by Mr. Rowell, one of its latnibers, it had had all avii It e -!.l .L aioV llial trf.T I ImLu deprtvettmy thrtriJV, billcf lfiv days to which it w as justly en - Uifctl lo Tor thediaposal r its" bui- nt-Hs. J of the al Mr. Campbell, the chairman coholic liquor tralic com- niittec, said his bills would have been acted upon but for the failure U gtt a quorum of his committee, lathe quesliuu of prohibition, he said his committee was awaiting the action of tho senate committee. Secretary Whitney, of the navy, will neither affirm nor deny the rumored report of his retirement fiom the cabinet if Mr. Cleveland is rt -elected iu November. He does n it deny, however, that he is in ill- health, and states that had he any itteution of leaving the cabinet he would consider it his duty to inform the president before any one else. That the secretary has been some what dissatisfied of late is an open secret, it having been caused partly by the quarrel between the line and s .iflf which shattered the unity of the tavy to an extent. Several other Ininor matters, such as the slowness ith which the manufacture of the runs for the new navy has been t irried on, have tended to increase l is annoyance, aud in conversation Le has not hesitated to express his opinion on the subject with great freedom . One of the newest sights of the capital is the "gospel wagon." It ii a church on wheels, and is one of the agencies used by the workers of the union mission. Kvery Sunday it passes from one poiut lo auother where preaching services are held, ul nearly every evening it carries christian workers on their evangel istic trips. Different churches in the city are interested in the work of the mission, and their repre sentatives take part in the meetings and assist in the missionary efforts that are being made. Representatives of a number of the churches have some oue evening in the week when they take charge of the "gospel wagon," and conduct the services at the several localities in the city where the services are held. - The purpose is to reach the class of people who do not go to church and whe have no church connections. The church is in this way brought to them. The chief field of operation for the wagon i.t the outskirts of the city. "It is 20 feet long by 7 feet wide and 0 and a half feet high. The wheels are low and of the same size, so that the box can turn on them, and all the running gear is unusually large and strong, having been made to order just for the purpose. When on its wsy to meeting, the wagon. drawn by four horses, looks like a new ainu oi ncumoo tcukic. t v ucu it a bona for a meeting it is quickly transformed into a comfortable little pulpit and choir platform, with the organist ready to play, and the leaders and singers atanding tn front. best hard coal. An acre of sunflowers will furniah fuel for one stove for a year. In the case of Schwab vs. ItijdVy, the Supreme court of Minnesota lately de cided that, since a deed i not txcuted until delivery, if a decl is wjmed and sealed on Sunday and is not delivered until a succeeding secular day, it is valid. The unpleasant discovery has been made that the bones that have been shipped recently from Caifo to England for fertilizing purposes and which were supposed to he those of giraffes, antelojies, etc., are, many of them, llie laities of Knglir-h soldiers killed in Kgypt, the natives having followed the terrible prac tiee of digging on battle-fields and pulling the bodu.it from trenches. It is claimed that the dominion of Canada awarded a contract to build a bridge over the Frazer river on the Canadian Pacific, at l, 500 ,000 to con tractor Onderdonk, who sublet the work to a contracting firm for $400,000, which in turn let the job to another contractor for $100,000 who let it for $75,000, at which figure the bridge was built. A device has been patented to keep the .hell of an ttyMtr closed front the lime it is captured until it is opened and sH liefore an epicure 1000 miles aWay. It is a Minple piece of wire twisted around the oyster hell with a pair of pincers and then waled. Close an oyster's mouth and he will preserve himself for weeks three mouths is the Onto claimed. Oysters were recently loi itetl tu ibis wnv'antl SvCt . Denver. wh. r- were opYtwJ ind Vund of an excellent flavor. J nn 1 ilim - i "ii mmi . The jury inline case of Mrs. " li Job n son vs. the Northern Pacific Rail road company rendered a verdict for $1000 damagss in favor of the plaintiff. The ease of Mis Lulu Johnson, daughter of the above named plaintiff, is now on trial for I sing j.t ted from the train at Missoula, the conductor claiming that her ticket was not good. The cause of the complaint in the lirt case is the same as I he above. (aov, St'UtpIe has n jsiiited the mem bers of his staff under the provisions of the new militia bill, as follows: Quarter, master-general, with rank of colonel, W. II. Ulair, of Montesano; inspector gen eral, with rank of colonel, A. P. Curry, of SjN.kane Falls; judge-advocate, with rauk of colonel. F.Iwiasl Kvans, of Taeoma; paymaster-general, with rank of colonel, M. Kaufman, of Taeoma; surgeon-general, with rank of colonel, J.

Sharpstein, of Walla Walla; aides-de camp, with rank of lieutenant colonel, James Hamilton Lewis, of Seattle, Gwin Hicks, of Olympia, Vince H. Faben, of Seattle, and Henry Kelling, of Walla Walla; assistant adjutant-general, with rank of major, J. Kennedy Stout, of Spokane Falls. A youthful applicant for graduation at Lexington, Ky., being asked, the other day, "What does history teach?" an swered: "That the United States never has been whipped and never will be." Secretary if War, Kndieott, has recently made a large purchase of army blaukets iu England. Just the figure for it. American manufactures are ignored because an Englishman bids 30 cents apiece less than the American, and as the government pays no tariff it thus gets its supplies a trifle cheaper by so doing; but the money goes out of the nation and helps to make the trade bal ance against lis instead of in our favor. Mr. Ken nuu gives one a ood idea of the enormoas size of Siberia by stating in the Century that its territory would contain the ITnited States, including Alaska, with all the states of Europe, except Russia, and there would still be 300,000 square miles to spare. A tale comes from the far rorth, above the Arctic circle, that mammoth carcasses are found frozen in the ice and that the Indians chop theiu out aud feed the meat to their dogs. These carcasses are as well preserved as if killed but yesterday, although they have lain for who knows bow many thousand years in a solidly frozen state. Undoubtedly these animals existed coeval with the glacial period and were iudigcuoua of a tropical climate, therefore we must reason that this period came on almost instantaneous; all livjng animals were tilled by the extreme cold and before their flesh could putrify, it became froien and thus it U preserved to us to-day. Juneau Free Presa wsre'oli'inrtown this weeek at 11c, but most of the wool growers are holding for higher figures. Could out sheepmen get a fair pi ice for their wool this season, Crook county would be iu u nourishing condition, but at 11c there is little hopo of much money being iu circulation this year. The date of execution for Mrs. M. J. I'yle and John Hum has been set for Friday, August 3, U-tween the hours of 10 a. M. and 3 r. M. in the court house yard Walla Walla. If no clemency is exercised, Mrs. l'vle will be the first woman hung on the Pacific coast. During the thunder si or m Thumluy afternoon a bolt of lightning struck u small barn at the upper end of town and badly splintered the corner ast besides otherwise damaging the building. Miss Annie Hanson, who was standing in the door of her mother's house about 100 yards distant, was struck by the flahh and felled to the ground, the blood gush ing from her mouth. Mrs. Louis Malone was attracted to the house by the cries of the other children, she fouud the girl had risen but was gasping for breath, she had been hit in the left shoulder and the led side of her face and head was burned. Dr. Clark was called and took charge of the patient who is now nearly recovered. Mrs. Malone was also shocked and states she never heard the report.' Only once before during the life of Dayton has lightning struck within her limits; Daylon Iulander, hi is lU-jr'W HMtflOB tlout t fast as packed; Very t.j If gone or is goilag to Sao Fiaacisco; so far not over 1 ,800 cases have been sent But little it expected to go to England; the Cutting Packing Co., has sold C,000 casts on Fngliab account, John A.

Col. fieo. Hunter lias placed the sale of his Issik "Reminiscence of an old Timer," in the hands of.Riggs & Tom linsou of Rattle Creek, Mich., and is going on lo Washington to try and secure recognition by congress of the claims of the widows pud orphans of tlusic who fell fighting in the Indian war of this state and Washington territory. In the circuit court Judge Taylor has handed tlown an opinion of some interest in a esse wherein the Astoria Packing company hud asked for an injunction restraining J. W. St V. Cisk from using the words "Salmon Steaks" on lalsls, plaintiff having filed a label with these words with the secretary of state and claiming them as a trade mark. Judge Taylor held that tho words were inertly descriptive and did not justly constitute a trade mark, thus denying the injunction prayed for. Raker City Democrat: Several thous and sheep will be shipped by rail to the Chicago market from Raker City within the next few days. Oue fstrty from Orant county will load 3,000 head. Upwards of 100,000 head have Ist n taken out of the country up lo the present time, this year. A telegram dated Colfax, W. T., June 22, says: A fiend who calls himself W. F.

The railroad switches are the main thing to be finished. Everything wears a business like air. Graders, car penters, masons, blacksmiths and laborers are as busy as bees at their occupations. The massive engine for running the blower is In position and steam ii the only thin needed to put it in motion. duct. Labor is paid in India in the manufacture of grain bags, only 15 cents per day. The duty on Iho imported ni ticlo is forty per cent, ad valorem. Tin industry on this coast can bo prosecuted only under pro. tection, to meet tlio competition of tho imported goods. This protection works benefit to tho farmers as it does to tho manufacturers. In California I hero 1s n large juto factory in the San Quentin state prison, iu which over oOO convicts are employed. Tho factory is kept running day and niht, without cessation. Tho bags are sold directly to fm iih ih at cost price, or to dealer who nell at only a nominal profit. Comparatively small as tho product is, it is enough to prevent importer, from working "corners" in bags, mi J raising the price to exorbitant rates. It maintains a steady market, nn.l protects the farmers from extravagant prices. The convict labor thus employed docs not ntVect fi dA labor in the state. It is in compel itiou only with the cheap labor of India. Convict labor in competition wilh mechanical trades is prohibited by law in Cali fornia. The prisonets must be either put to useful and remunerative labor, or rest iu idleness at tho ex pense of tho btute. Tho jute grain bag factory at Sun Quentin prison enables this labor to be profitably utilized without entrenching upon mechanical employments and ffwtf labor in a uaefi?? - -a d alio. . ka trood in fur- i nisbinaf a iiee1?dr 'article, v and in regulating the pi ice so as to prevent excessive charges. The enormous number of grain bags required U testimony to the immense grain ploduct of !! coast, already among Iho greatest gralli producing regions in the world. Forty years ago, tho Oregon of that penoil produced Jess than one thousand bushels. Now, within the territory embruccd by tho Oregon of that time, there Is raised a surplus of many millions of bushels for im portation, iu t'io carrying of which to Kuropcan maikets a large fleet of ships in regularly employed, besides the amount which is sent by steam ers and sailing vessels to ports of Asia, and tho islands of the Pacific. California imported all her bread stuffs until IK.'.', from the Atlantic ports and Chili. Now ho supplies the world with a product superior to any that alio ever imported.
