A dispatch from Cincinnati
say s the steamer Island Queen
was fired upon Tuesday" evening
during her trip up the Ohio river
with Wm. H. Taft and the noti
fication committee and guests on
board. 4. lady standing near Mr.
Taft was struck in the face and
breast by a number of small shot
but not seriously injured. The
fact that the gun was loaded
with only fine shot renders it un
necessary for any one to get ex
cited over the occurrence, or im
agine that an assassination was
attempted. Probably some fool
fired the shot for fun.
We wouldn't always recognize
our own faults if we should stum
ble over them, r" ;
You can't always tell when a
gun is loaded, but it is easy
enough to tell when a man is,
Keep your eye on the man who
has : to make an extra effort to
give you a hearty hand-shake.
Fair play is all any man wants,
but he usually wants to be the
judge of its fairness. .
By a new law Louisiana forbids
drinking intoxicating liquors on
passenger trains. The. dryness
spreads. "
The schoolmaster is abroad in
the Philippines, and sometimes
so much abroad that the natives
shoot at him. , ; -
It has been noticed that - the
man who delights to hear himself
talk is generally alone in his en
thusiasm. ; -.-
When you hear a doctor say
that hot weather is healthy, you
may conclude that he means it is
healthy for him.
An exchange says that all men
should pay as they go. but it is
well to hold the price of a ticket
back.
Somebody concludes that beau
ty is as beauty does. The der
rick isn't handsome, but it has an
uplifting influence. ,.
It has been noticed that altho
a man may not be able to walk
straight at 2 a. m., his wife is
apt to talk that way. .
Some cases of luck are ex
plained by Shakspeare, who says
that fortune brings in some
boats that are not s eered."
It is said that when a young
man is trying to qualify for the
matrimonial race he hates to have
a millionaire pacemaker.
It has been noticed that the
nice thing about summer resorts
is the way people can go home
from them and get cooled off and
rested. -

An exploring party who started
. out to ascend Mt. Baker last week
. has returned to Bellingham and
reported that the mountain is
now "a seething volcano, belch
ing forth vapors and sulphurous
fumes," with three craters act
lvely engaged in business. It is
probable, as suggested by old
timers, that the big hill is merely
taking its periodical "smoke,"
as do Mt. Hood and other extinct
volcanoes in that region. The
possibility of a sure enough act
ive eruption, they say, is very
remote.
A fire in the north end of Port
land, Tuesday afternoon, swept
one full block off the map of the
business district, burned' most of
three other blocks, and threat
ened the entire district. Proper
ty worth approximately $225,000
was destroyed, $1,000,000 worth
was actually scorched, and sev
erai millions worth was placed
in jeapordy: The cause of the
fire is not yet clear. There are
several theories incendiarism,
spontaneous combustion in a loft
of new hay, dropping of a match,
sparks from a chimney, etc.
Bryan was initiated, Monday
night, in Omaha, into the mys

Somebody has looked into the
thing far enough" to express the
opinion that automobiling would
be less hazardous if it were less

The voters of the country may

day, of his nomination for Presi

An auto party with three buzz
wagons arrived in Portland Mon
day from Los Angeles, bound for
Seattle. They had been on the
road just two weeks, and ; had a
delightful trip.
Ex-Secretary Taft got into i

day, and had to stay there until a

President Roosevelt has heard
of the fame of Oregon wilds for

Forest fires breaking out along
the lower Willamette and Colum
