Court has breu ia session three days, and ". considerable business has been transacted. , It promises to be a short term, and this will suit taxpajers. There has been shipped irom North 1. Yakima "iOl i-alcs of hops, most of which J were sent to Milwaukee. . there am still , on hand 204 bales, forty of which are the isyu crop. : Farmers in Gilliam county during the :.' past season hauled grain a distance of sixty miles to market The price this year was sufficiently remunerative to war rant this hauling, bat ordinary seasons it will not. We received a pleasant call this morn ing irom Mr. w. a. staats, oi.umur. tie gives a favorable report of that vicinity, and says some who have farms on the south hill sides are plowing preparatory . to sowing spring grain. We have received a pleasant all to day from Mr. Chas. White, of lone, Idaho, wbo was sheriff oi Waeco count; over twenty-seven years ago. . Ho is well known to old residents, and will meet very many old friends. There was one drunk and disorderly individual and one with proclivities for tramping oyer the crusted surface of the ' mundame sphere at the city jail last night. They were interviewed by the recorder this morning, and fines imposed, Mr. Stacey Hhown, the jeweler, has two very interesting relics in the shape ot a watch and a pair-of spectacles, which date back to 1750. The spectacles are the kind: which were worn during the revolu tion, and the watch of the bull's eye pat tern that were in vogue at the time of our grandparents. This afternoon the case of Gibson vs the O S L & U N Co is on tiial. By agreement of counsel the case is being tried by eleven jurors, a follows: H F Woodcock, Polk Butler, V Wincell.

The funeral was held from his home at 11 o'clock Friclay, conducted by the Ma sonic lodge of Tuiner, Rev. Whitaker of the Salem BaDtist church officiating. Interment was in the family burying ground on the place. There is little doubt that E. R. Lackey, the misaine merchant of Eugene, who who was supposed to have been foully dealt with in Portland, has fled the coun try, leaving debts aggregating many thousands of dollars. Four attachments were placed upon bis property yesterday to satisfy the claims of the Lugene Na tional bank, the First .National bank, Lane county bank and F. B. Dunn, aggre gating over fl2,uou. very nine property can be found upon which the creditors can tile claims The affairs of the Eugene Canning and Packing company, of which he was president, are in a deplorable con dition. An investigation shows that it is Dracticallv bankrupt and the stock al most worthless. It is now known that Luckev collected all the cash he could Dossibiv raise iust before his departure. He went to Eunene eieht vears aeo with $40,000, most ot which has disappeared through bad business management. Ex. From Thursday's Dally. Mr. F. H. Snow, of Lexington, rfas in the city yesterday. The jury in the case of S. B. Gibson vs. U 3 Li and U JN Uo. brought in a veraici ior the plaintiff for $430.

Chautauqua Assemblies throughout the country duriug the last few years have fully demonstrated the great value ot the lecture platform as a medium tor bringing the best talent and the best thought of the country within reach of the people. The Newfoundland government has ap pealed to the imperial government in behalf ot the ratification of the treaty ot the United States, the terms of which were agreed upon in 1890, but which the Canadi an government has never yet consented to, a. tonching story comes over the wires from San Diego county, California. Mrs. Mary Gregory, postmistress of Villas, falsi- tied her returns to procure means to buy food for her children. She was tried for the offense and fined $50. Friends fur nished the money to pay the fine and the woman was liberated. Albany Herald: (Jne day last week a mail carrier named Holgate started across xaquina bay in a skin, and when nearly across a large breaker broke over his boat, filling it and throwing him out. He regained his seat in the skiff, and by his loud cries attracted the attention of citi zens, who at once went to his rescue.

Newt: Such beautiful weather as we experienced duriog the entire month of January, and the same that February has favored us with up to . date, makes our climate simply elysian in its character. No country on the face ot tbe earth could have enjoyed more pleasant mid-winter weather loan the Inland Empire has enjoyed during tbe past six weeks. : Prineville News: Mr. C. A. VanHouten, who is foreman of the B. 8. & IT. Co., of I .Hay Creek, visited the beaver creek coun try recently in the interest of the com pany, and on bis return 'he called on this office and stated that the snow un there in all the way from eight to twelve - inches deep, but while ali tile-stockmen are feed- tng, leed is still abundant and stock of all kinds is looking well. - Charley is an ex perienced stockman and knows whereof he speaks. - ... It seems that everything was created tor a purpose and all that is needed is to find out the purpose. The universal pres ence oi sage orusn, a snrub that is much despised when growing where a farmer wants to cultivate the land where it is found, is most difficult to find use for. Mr. Robert Long, of Boise City, has discovered that he can make a good qual ity of paper out of the brush. He is en deavoring to get some capitalists to join xii in iu ins enterprise. - Glacier: Thursday morning a few of our citizens asserted they bad felt an earth quake shoes: about half-past 8 o clock the preyious evening, but were not belieyed, as the great majority bad failed to experience toe snaae. xne lact that Cortland and other Oregon points report a "quake" at that time compels the doubting Thomases to yield the point. Indeed, the proof was so convincing tnat nine-tenths ot our popu lation have become convinced that tbey felt it at tne time. iri i i ii' . xue iuiiuiug irom a nasniogton miy dispatch will be of some interest to old residents of Tbe Dalles: "Representative nermann to-day secured a report from tbe committee on claims for the relief of -CbauDcey M. Lockwood, of Salem, who was a 'mail -contractor between Tbe Dal'es and Silt Lake City.many years ago. The amount carried in tbe bill is about $10, 000. Senator Mitchell reported tbe same bill favorably in the senate." Astoria Town Talk: Tbe two 16.000 pound guns for Fort Canby were brought "down on a scow towed by the steamer Puritan, arriving here last evening in charge of E. H. Freeman, department quarter master. Quite a large number of citizens went down to tbe Telephone dock this morning to take a look at tbe gnns. At bieb water tbey were started for their destination. E. W. Wright, tbe con tractor, will make quite a nice little sum - off bis contract. The most remarkable thing accom plished by tbe eartbquakelet tbe other evening, happened in a Nob Hill resi dence in l-Yirtland. Tne family have a piece of brae a-brae, in the shape of a grandfather's clock, which stopped short several years ago, and baa merely been ornamental ever since, a more modern ajticle keeping tbe time for - tbe bouse. Tbe quake stopped the new clock and started tbe old one, which, refreshed by its long rest, is ticking away as merrily as possible, and bids lair to run for anotber century, it tbe next earthquake aoes not cause it to change Its mind. The matter of wool is one of great im portance in this state. The Oregonian condences considerable information in the following paragraph : "The wool trade of the world is so closely inter-related that our markets will watch closely the sale ot jJou.uuu bales oi Australian wool that will be held this week in London. it is expected that Americans will buy more than they did at the sales a year ago, but there will be brisk competition from Yorkshire and Continental buyers, whose stocks are light. The home situa tion is tersely described in a Boston, tele gram; which says that a 'steady market and a steady trade is what the trade may exDect from now to cup time.' Last week good Eastern Oregon fetched in Boston V cents, or about 57 cents per pound clean. Tbe current for Australian are 32 to 42 cents per pound, according to quality. Salem Journal: T. T. Geer was in Sa lem Thursday and brought the news of t .c death of Wm. Tbos. Patton, a Waldo .hills farmer, wbo came to Oregon in 1848. and lived and died on bis donation land claim. He was well-known among all pioneers, and respected by every one. He bad not been wen ior six or sevea jean, and had suffered more than usual in tbe last ix or seven weeks. He was tbe father of Mrs. Dr. Golden, of Salem ; T. B. Patton, ex county assessor,- Macleay; Frank Patton. cashier Astoria Savings tank; Mrs. Ed. Downing: Mrs. E. M. Cljmer, of Fossil ; A. J, E.

He has a plan ot philosophy ot Ms own, ana aoes not follow the French school, Hani or ilaeckel, the German philosophical school, or Dar win, of the English development theory, We should have been delighted to bear him lecture; but he didn't have time, and was forced to return to his home. La Grande Gazette: 3. K. Romig will visit San i rancisco in a few days for tbe purpose of purchasing machinery to work ore from the Chloride mine. The stockholders in this enterprise have already expended i large amount of money in getting this prop erty opened, and are willing to spend more, as they have gratifying prospects for handsome return on the investment. The Albany Herald several weeks ago published the particulars of a man named J. F. Hill losing his way in going through the mountains in the snow from Gatesviile to the Santiam mines, by which he is sup posed to have perished. A brother of the unfortunate man left Monday for Gatesviile, where a large party will be formed to search until they find his remains or some evidence of the fate that overtook bim, . Tbe empire of tbe more precious metals- is in tbe west. The annual report of Wells, Fargo & Co. for the year 1891, just received, giyes the product of the states and terri tories west ot the Missouna river as follows: Silver, $60,614,004; gold, $3I,75,Htf4. cop per, $13,261,663; lead, $12,385 75. Total output, $118,237,441. Oregon produced $1,004,000 ot gold and $84,000 of silver. The spring season is opening and there is an opposition boat on the middle river. If our citizens desire to reap the advantage of our location, they should immediately in augurate mannfacturing industries, which would give employment to a large number of wage-earners. Without such, Tbe Dalles will. not advance in tbe least, end we shall suffer the reputation of being the moss-back town oi Eastern .Oregon as we have iu the past. . A terrible accMent acenrred to Charles Atwood, engineer of the steamer Skadijei, at Vancouver, Monday. Iu starting the en gine he slipped, and one arm was caught by an eccentric and the other by a crack, both arms breaking and one being torn from tbe socket. . With wonderful presence of mind he shut off the stenm, and afterwards dis played great courage, suffering amputation without flinching. His parents reside in Oregon. He is 21 years of age. We have received a copy of the Wau- tauga Valley News, published at Elizabeth- ton, lenn. la its salutatory it savs: 'It owes its existence to a belief on the part of its projectors that the people of Eastern Tennessee, and tbe Wantauga valley in par ticular, will support a high class enterpris ing modern journal devoted to the work of presenting to the world its wonderful latent resources." We extend our kindest wishes to the project, and hope it may succeed in the high ground of journalism it assumes. Salem Journal: The preparations are go ing forward for the Grand Army gathering tnat is to be nela in balem ibursday and Friday of this week. The committee re quest a general decoration of business and public buildiogs on that occasion, and it is expected that .Salem will show the veterans of the Union and Mexican armies the same attention that it is custom try ou such ocfca sions elsewhere. The statu encampment should be made the most of to advertise our public spirit and patriotism. A pious reverend claimed recently that hell, pure and unadulterated hell, is located in Oakesdale, to which the Sun answers: "Colfax may have her court house. Palouse City may keep ber saw mills, Pullman is welcome to ber agricultural college and Spokane her water power. Many other towns have the above named industries, but Oakesdale is alone in her glory. There are many other court houses, saw mills, ag ricultural colleges and water powers, but there is oniy one hell, and if the reverend gentleman's words be true, Oakesdale has a 'scoop on the entire world. All hail Oakes dale, the peerless princess of the world !" Vairhaven Herald: While at Fairhaven last Wednesday evening Bishop Paddock stepped from tbe steamer upon the dock and in tbe darkness walked into the slip and fell several feet, striking heayily ou tbe incline bottom. Fortunately he did not fall into the water. He was picked op in sensible, stunned by the fail and tbe ner vous shock. Rev. L. W. Applegate, who went down to meet him. bad him taken to Tbe Fairhaven immediately. He did not come ont of tbe swoon until after being placed in his room. Dr. Thomas was sum moned and everything possible done for the relief of the bishop. Albany Democrat: Yesterday we save an account of a sailor boy passing through Al- Dany on ms way to Walia VVailt. with U. S. S Baltimore on his cap. We learn some interesting facts in connection with the in cident. The voung man was Clyde Dan nals. - His mother, Mrs. Dannals. a widow. resides iu Walla Walla, and has been visit ing her cousins, Mr. James Elkins, near this city loi several days, and is here now. Young Dannals left home about four years ! ago and has seen most parts of the world since, being on the Hear on her trip into tbe Arctic seas among other voyages.. He was transferred from tbe Bear to tbe Balti more. Mr. Ira Genger - made a draw on the county treasury last Saturday to the extent of $10, the present valuation of a coyote scalp. His dogs succeeded in kill ing one ot -these animals near bis house on Deer creek. Two of the doKs struck the coyote's track, and it evidently bad an opinion that it could whip its pursuers and turned to face them, when Mr. Genger turned two more dogs loose and they made quick work of bim. Ira baa a good pack of dogs tor that kind of business. Boecburq Review. We always considered these pests confined to Eastern Oregon, siid we are Bur prised that any animals of this species should be found in the murky, misty Willamette. Baker Democrat: A good atory is told on a prominent divine oftfhis section. He vis ited itaaer City the other day and during his stay he conceived the idea that the op portune time had arrived to raise funds for his church, in view of che'approacbing cam paign and tbe aspirants for office being nu merous. 1 he divine, being better than a "raw band" in politics himself, he saw a chance to work his game. He had recently been to Wallowa and Union connties. He claimed to be acquainted with the situation oyer there and in a position to wield an in fluence with the-state delegation to the Re publican convention. Preparing a subscrip tion list he personally called upon tbe con gressional aspirants, and they are numerous here, and by a neat reference to political matters during the course of conversation an unusual display of liberality resulted on the part of the persons whom be addressed and his subscription list was a healthy one before evening. It would be wrong to say that each of tbe congressional aspirants were promised the delegation of each of the counties, but, then, we know of one or two who think they are solid. Aalorian: Mr. F. Newman, signal service observer at Fort Canby, W ash., reports that during the month of January the mean barometer there was 30.106; tbe mean tem perature 42.7; the highest, 57, on the 23d; the lowest, 33, on the 5th; the prevailing direction of the wind was southeast; the total movement of wind during the month, 9,718; the maximum velocity ot wmd was sixty-nine miles from the southeast on the 26th.

FInrennn Wfjd- About nine miles UD the North Fork rivi j e a piece of swamp land containing abouWKX) acres. Robert Van derburg owns about 300 acres of this land and to clace it in fit condition it is neces sary that it be drained. Between me swamp and the riyer is a ridge of rock hills about 300 feet through at the base. . The only possible means of draining this swamp is to tunnel through the bill, thus mating a waterway to the river. With this object in vew Mr. Vanderburg. together with a few of his neighbors, have gone to work on the tunnel and are now in about fifty feet. It is quite an undertaking tor so few men, bot should they succeed in getting through and successfully draining the swamp they will be well paid for their labor. East Oreaonian: Will Gibson and Joseph Ray of Ray creek were out bunting a few days ago. and ran across a peculiar cave or recess in tbe mountains. iu crawiea in to investigate and was startled by a low growl proceeding from the.dark depths of the cavern, iietore be could retreat be was attacked pell-mell by a savage bear, a fe male cinnamon. The sounds of the conflict brought Joe to the rescue, and the two, by dextrous use of their knives, managed to despatch the beast before either became a victim of her wild fury, escaping with no very serious injuries. It was a brave ngnt and the hunters were rewarded by the cap ture of two cubs, hardly a week old, which will be domesticated if possible, and may some day be seen with a string attached to the ring, and an Italian at the other end, a sad fate surely. N. H. Tennery of this city is said to be negotiating for the put chase ot tbe cubs. From Friday's Daily. Hon. A. J. Dufnr, sr., of Dufur, is in the city to-day. Judge Davenport, of Mosier, was in tbe city yesterday. Hon. W. 11. 11. Dufur, of Dufur, is on our streets to-day. .New poles for the electric lights are being erected on Court street. The street doctor has nothing whatever to do with Tbe Dalles band concert this eyening. The mud has dried in our streets, and we have as good thoroughfares as can be found in tbe state. Mr. C. Wyes, the tailor, has removed his tailor shop to Second street, ono door east of Justice Scbutz' office. Wm. Ayery was sentenced to-day by Judge Bradsbaw to three years in the peni tentiary for ths crime of robbery from the person. The case of George Herbert vs. E. B. Dufur went to tbe jury to-day. but np to the time of going to press a verdict bad not been rendered.. Ihe new uniforms ot A and C companies will be distributed next Sunday afternoon, Feb. 14th. All members should be present, because the new nniforms will become them better than ordinary Sunday clothes. There are remaining at the new armory a pair of rnbber shoes, a white st&rf and siik umbrella, owners unknown. If tbe peisons who left these things at the armory will call for them, they can have them by pay ing tor this notice. The decisions of the supreme court re versing the decision in the court below in tbe cases of Francis Coulan, respondent, vs. Tbe O St and U N R K Co, appellant. and John Carlson, respondent, vs. The O S L and U IS K K Co, appellant, were re ceived and placed on record to-day. U axon Journal: JKd ward reterson, a Union Pacific railroad employee, is at St. Marv'a hospital suffering from a band car accident, resulting in his right arm being badly braised and strained. Monday Peter son, together with other men, started on a band -car from Wilbur, to do some track work. A broken axle threw the car from the track, all the men escaping injury ex cept Peterson. - Union-Journal: The organization of the Silver Mountain Mining company, recently noted, is for the purpose of working a new lode, recently discovered by U. s. Andrus on the land of Michael and Charles McCar thy in the foot hills east of the city. The new ore is said to assay well, and although the vein has not been developed bopes are entertained that much better ore will be encountered deeper in the vein. G. W. Hunt, the railroad builder, who has been struggling with financial difficul ties for some time, and who is now in the east, baa, says tbe Olympian, telegraphed to his agent, Mr. Robinson, at Olympia, to let all persons who have liens pending against bis plant on Puget Sound have judgment if they will stipulate to settle at the expiration ot ninety days for cash, tbe inference is that Mr. Hunt has reason to be lieve he will bave bis affairs into shape within that time, and that he wants to keep his railroad plant together for future works. Eugene Register: Geo. Craw was at Ya- quina last week when the steamer Chance came in there from a trip down the coast. The crew reported it tbe roughest trip they had eyer bad. Everything on deck had been knocked about by the waves. There were m lot of rails on board to be delivered at Florence for the government work being prosecuted there, but after lying oft the mouth of the Siuslaw two days waiting for a chance to go in, tbey were obliged to steam on up to Yaouina to fin? shelter. Every member of tbe crew was drenched to the skin when they reached Yauiua. Last "evening, at the conrt honse, a Re publican club (of forty-one members was formed with the following officers: Presi dent, B. S. Huntington; vice-president, M. A. Moody; secretary, T. A. Hudson; treas urer, Virgil Bolton. The president and secretary, with tbe three following, formed the executive committee: C. L. Phillips, M. T. Nolan and G. J. Farley. The following were appointed committee on membership: L. E. Crowe, F. E. Bronson and J. E. Bur nett. After the adoption of the constitu tion and by-laws, and the roster signed, an able and eloquent address was delivered by Mr. W. McCamaut. of Portland. Program of Teachers' Institute.

By order of tbe committee. been absent from the city since tbe China men bad started for Walla Walla; but bis dream was clear in details that be bad not the least difficulty in pointing out the place where the murder was committed. What Lee told Col. Gates and others that be saw J while asleep proved to be facta. After tbe sheriff and posse had buried the Chinamen, they returned to Tbe Dalles, and Mr. White arrested one of the packers near Jacksonville and the other one in that city. They were brought back, examined before a magistrate, and held to answer the crime. After being in the old city jail for some time tbey managed to escape by cut ting ott the lock of the door, and were never recaptured. Nothing more was heard of them until 1S68, when Mr. Trevitt, happening to be in Seattle, was walking in the suburbs, and noticed a man sitting on a wagon tongue ap parently in the last stage of consumption, who called him by name. Trevitt did not recognize tbe man until he told him Ms name and that he was one ot the two pack ers who murdered the Chinamen at Spanish Hollow. He further stated that Lee Wnng related the facts as correctly as if he had witnessed the act.aud advised Trevitt neyer to kill a Chinaman as be had no peace of mind since he committed the deed. He died soon afterwards. The other man caped to California, where he was shot and left for dead by a posse of men wbo bad fol lowed him and bis companions in charge cf a band of stolen horses. He finally recov ered; but is now a cripple, dependent upon public charity. Since writing tbe above I have read it over to Mr. Chas. White, who was in the city during the week, and he verifies every word in relation to this remarkable dream. PlONEEB. An Agreeable Evening. From Friday's Daily. ' The ladies of St. Paul's Episcopal church guild gave a reception last evening to . the members of the congregational and parish at the rectory. There was a goodly num ber present, though some of the familiar faces of tbe parish were missing, which was regretted by those in attendance. Games, music and the social chat caused the evening to pass very pleasantly and enjoya- bly. The programme of music consisted of vocal, and instrumental selections. Vocal solos by Mrs. Lcchhead and Mr. Stewart, and piano solos by Miss Brooks affordUd much pleasure to the listeners; while the solos and duetts on the harmonica by Messrs. Stewart and F. Garrettson revealed to the delighted assembly what charming music may be produced from a mere toy. These gentlemen are truly artists, 'and the ladies owe them many thanks for their kind assistance. Light refie.-h:i.eut8 were served during the evening. The hour of departure came all too quickly wheu all separated, as suring the committee that tbe evening bad been pleasantly spent. When Baby was sick, we gave her Caatnla, When she was a Child, she cried for Caatoria, . When she became Hiss, she dang to Caatoria, The Prineville Stage Boute. " ' Amtelopb, Feb. 2, 1892. Editor Tuns-MouHTAnrsiR: Mr. A. W. Branner, proprietor of the line, came in to-day on the stage from Prineville. He reports the roads in a ter rible condition, and, in places, almost im- able. The route by way of Antelope causes fully five hour's delay in the de livery ot the man at rTinevine, and this would be remedied if the route was by way ot Bakeoven and Cow canyon. Mr. Branner says the road between Bakcoyen and Antelope is very bad, and from tbe latter place to Cross Eeys, in places the mud is about two feet deep and very slip pery. Petition after petition nave been presented to the department at Washing ton city to change tbe service via tbe old route by Cow canyon, bat these have re ceived no attention whatever. Mr. Bran ner has double tbe number of men and horses employed than everhaye been, and still it is impossible for him to make reg ular time. As Prineville is a growing town, and The Dalles is the nearest rail road point, the mail service should be by the shortest and most available road. Times Mountaineer. The above explains Itself, now for the facts : - Firsts The roads at the time Mr. Bran ner was out here were muddy, but not as bad as be says ; the stage time is about one hour later at Antelope than in good weather. Second The road from Antelope to Cross Eeys is dry almost the entire dis tance, and never has been two feet deep in mud. Third The people at Prineville have petitioned for the change via the old route. They have no reasonable grounds for the change. Antelope is a growing town, and a great many get their mail there, and she is entitled to a daily service from The Dalles and Prineville both. The dif ference to the contractor and department is sis miles for whic he is allowed two hours extra time, which Mr. Branner uses one hour on the Prineville end and one hour on The Dalles end, which is not af fected. Now for the difference in time should we do without a daily mail from Prineville for two or three hours time? Fourth Mr. Branner has one extra man and one extra team for winter ser vice, just what other contractors have used on the old route. Trusting you will publish this in justice to the people of Antelope, we are yery truly yours, W. Bolton, N. Andekton, - .1. B. ASHBY, C. B. Dubbin. - A Eemarkable Dream. The Dalles, Feb. 11, 1892. Editor T1MB8-M0UXTAINKK&: If I remember correctly in tbe month of February or March, i860, there were living in The Dalles two Chinamen, one of whom by the name of Lee Wong had a wash house near tbe northwest corner of Court and Main streets. "About that time there came from below two Chinamen en route to Walla Walla, arriving on the steamer Idaho the only conveyance. Tbe npper river being blocked with ice they hired two men who had charge ot a pack train to take tbem and their goods to their destination. About a week after they started Lee Wang called on Col. N. H. Gates and told bim tbe Chinamen bad been murdered by the two packers, and he saw the act done while as leep. He said D. shot one Chinaman and killed him and the other ran. He was fol lowed by the other packer and murdered. Col. Gates thought tbe Chinaman demented, as be bad not been out of town since the Celestials started on their trip, and referred him to Mr. Charles White, wbo was sheriff at the time. Mr. White paid little attention to the story of Lee Wung, think- he had been indulging in opium, and, in turn, referred bim to Mr. Victor Trevitt. He listened to Wong's description of the murder, and told him he had been smoking too much opium. The matter was dropped for several days, when the two packers re turned and reported that they had delivered the Chinaman and goods safely at their des tination. They spent money quite freely, and soon sold their mules and left town. A few days after their departure Mr. Green Arnold came to town from near where Pen dleton is now situated, and said be bad found a dead Spaniard or Mexican on tbe otber side of the Deschutes, close to where the town of Wasco now stands. Sheriff White tben secured a posse of men, and to gether with Lee Wung who insisted on accompanying them started for the place. On arriving at tbe tpot designated, the re mains of a dead Chinaman was found, and Lee Wang gaided tbem to the place where the other was killed. Wang had never Eeport of the Grand Jury.

T. Nolan. P. M. Exchange: They needed money badly in a church at Burns, near Buffalo, so they held a social, and here is the way tbey raised the money: Across one end of tbe room was a curtain. For an hour the guests chatted after the old-fashioned church social style. Then the curtain was suddenly withdrawn. There in row stood six of the prettiest women in tbe congregation, blush ing and smiling, each bearing upon ber bo som a placard on which were tbe words: "Yon may kiss roe for 25 06018." It was fifteen minutes berore the device began to work, but when it did the silver quarters fairly showered into tbe aprons of the young ladies' circle. Old and young eagerly rushed to the front to exchange coins for kisses. The show lasted only a short time, when tbe curtain was again drawn. Then the storm burst. The women were jealous of their husbands and a dozen or more family tights were started at once. Soon it was announced that the women would pose again in a short time. Then the angry women tore down the curtains and blew out the lights. A scrambling for the door followed, and for over two hours the church members gossiped and fought on the sidewalks. Tbey finally di spersed and a factional church fight is the result. Card of Thanks. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Stewart desire to return their thanks to friends for the kind ness extended during Mrs..
