The county indigent poor were re moved from Mr. Cushing's farm, near this city, to Hood River, where Mrs. Fulton has received the contract for keeping them for the ensuing year. . . The railroad blockade near Bonneville has made business very dull with rail- road men, and engineers, firemen, con ductors and brakeman on railroad trains ' have made very few trips in the last few days. - Mrs. Harford, lecturer for the Wo man's Christian Temperance Union for the state of Oregon, will lecnure at the Free Reading Room on Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock. A cordial invitation is extended to all. ' Mr. W. C. Allaway, agent of the D. P. & A. N. Co. in this city, is making very many friends by his courteous treatment of afl. Any inquiry about freight re ceives a gentlemanly answer, atd pas sengers are given the most cordial at tention. A number of piles were hauled to the Bejulalor wharf to-day, preparatory to extending the wharfage capacity. There have been - eighty-three piles ordered, and as soon as these are driven a force of mechanics will be put to work to com plete the structure.

E. Saltmarshe & Co. have been pressed during the past few days . to feed the cattle which nave arrived. "There has been daily arrivals from all parts of the interior, and by rea son of the blockade these ceuld not be shipped as rapidly as they arrived. . The east-bound train, due here at 11:50 P. m., has arrived since the block ade about 4 a. m., being five hours late, and the other, due at 12:50 p. m., has ar rived about 3, three hours late. West bound trains have also been behind time, by reasons of accidents east of this city. Landslides have been disastrous on both the Union and Northern Pacific rail road during the past few days, and Washington has suffered worse than Ore gon by these accidents. Trains have been delayed on all lines, and freight traffic and passenger transit has been very uncertain. In working off the outside of the week ly edition ot tne paper this morning, an accident happened to our Potter power press, which threatened a serious delay; but the mechanical skill of Mr. F. S. Gunning repaired the injury in about fifteen minutes, and the old reliable was grinding out papers at the rate 0f 1500 an hour. The case of State of Oregon vs. Wm. Birgfeld, indicted lor murder in the first degree, was called this morning, After exhausting the regular panel, a special venire was issued for a new one. The following ten jurors were impanelled when the panel was exhausted and a new venire issued: Thos. Harper, Tim Mayhew, Robert Lowe, S. F. Blythe, 7 Chas. Cramer, L. W. Holgate, L. E. Ferguson, T. E. Wickens, W. J. Hani man. J. W. Wallace. Saturday night, at Fail-mount, daring the abeeoae of Mr. Boab, from his home, Fred Ream, Jessie Bash and Lain Dodaon hruke into the house and stole a quantity of cloth ing aod household goods. The former two ' boarded the oyerland Sunday morning and t-ame to Albany, wbere they registered at a hotel aa man and wife. Laat night the . Dodson girl returned to the Bash house and stole a basket of bahy'a clothes, etc She was arrested at 9 o'clock by Deputy Sbenfi Croner. Tnis morning Lane's live deputy came to- Albany, and arrested Reams and the Bush girl, just as they were getting ready to leave on the local for Portland, and took them back to Eugene on the noon 'train. Thf bov ia about 19 Vi-u-a nf nan nrl the xirl about 17. The trio seem to have been "catting op" for some time, culminat ing in a crime that may send them all to the penitentiary. The Bush girl is a sister of the man robbed, a fact that may help her oat of the difficulty, but probably not. Last night another very disastrous slide occurred, at Dodson's, sweeping away the temporary telegraph office and covering the railroad track with debris. All efforts heretofore have been futile to clear the track, for as rapidly as the de bris is cleared away a fresh supply takes the Dlace. The fact is. the lake on the hill has found an outlet, and the force of water is carrying everything before it. If a channel could be dug so as to give the water a free passage to the river, this would not pile up dirt, rocks and trees as it does now, and it could be safely bridged for the passage of trains. The geyser theory is wroncr. for this outburst possesses . none of the peculiarities of mat phenomena, it is simpiy tne lake that has been on the hill for untold ages overflowing and given vent to its pent-up force. If a free outlet were given it would cause little damage, and could safely be bridged. on ever recurring anniversary the living members of every family should congregate around the table. The raffles and shooting matches well supplied some of our citizens witq turkeys. while others preferred to purchase them and pay the ruling price. The roads leadiug to itoualana are in a deplorable eonditioD, we are informed, and until tne rain atopa and tbeae become dry very little whest will be hauled.

This slide has been the most difficult problem in railroading with which tbe Uuiu.i Pioi'i-j has hid to cutvn.1 since the road waa completed between this city and Portland, and has caused the com pany considerable arnoyance. Mr. C C. Eobart received a telegram yesterday from Lewiston, Idaho,anuouuc:Dg the painful intelligence that Mr. William Wiggin had fallen from the government sw in Suake river, and had drowned. He was aged about 24 yean, of steady and indus trious hahits, the idxat surviving son of Mr. Lot Wiggin, an old and resuected citi zen nf Lewiston and formerly a resident of The Dalles, and a nephew of Mrs. Hobart. As soon as thev received the' intelligence of Mr. Wiggia'a death, Mr. and Mrs. Hobart made preparations to go to Lewiston, and left on tbe midnight train. The telegram did not state where tbe scow was located at the time of the accident, aud it is not known where on Snake river the young man was drowned.

The following from the Prineville New demonstrates the fact that the editor con siders that the success of a newspaper is as much dependent upon the strict rules of business as any mercantile pursuit: "Do you want a dozen of our new strawberry plants?" writes a guileless nurseryman of the far east. "If so give us ten insertioqs of enclosed advertisement (worth 5.60) and we will send them to yon in the spring free of charge." This would be the greatest pleasure of our in - nocent young life, if we were prepared u accept it. But you see the only real es tate we own is what is contained in tbe tin-mounted cuspidor that sits under tbe editorial desk near where Ike "jwearingen piled the potatoes, and that is hardly large enough for a strawberry orchard. If some man who has a surplus of farms on hand will give us twenty acres for aa ad vertisement we will accept It, aud also this other offer and soon we will run in connection with this paper the finest strawberry ranch in the west. Citizens, it you want to see your county newspaper boom and flourish and grow into a straw erry festival, just embrace this golden opportunity und give us a farm for adver tising and we will get the plants and set 'em. Raising strawberries and running a newspaper are two occupations, no nearer related than the cousinship eight times removed, but we believe an editor of or dinary vertility ought to be able to man age both of them. It would be a nice diversion from clipping copy from ex changes, to take the editorial scissors and go out to the farm occasionally and cut off strawberry runners for a few wteks. ner, Alsatian girl; Daisie Allaway, flower girl; Myrtle Michell, Old Mother Hubbard; Maybel Riddell, Japanese maiden; Maybel Mack, chrysanthemum; May Sechler.night; Anna Taylor, astrologer; Ethel Baker, Priscilla; Julia Hill, Topsy; Laura Thomp son,- butterfly; ill Crossed, lirover Cleve land; Neddie Baldwin, The Press; Bertie Baldwin, soldier; Jake McCown, school girl; Willie Fields, Brownie; Burnside Tay lor, Topsy; Daton Taylor, milkmaid; Misses Aque and Holcomb, nobody's chilluns; For rest Fisher.colored baseball player; William Fredden, gentleman of the XVI century; Fred Snipes, African dude; Walter Johns, Oaude Seller; Maie Beall, Clare Davis, Pearl Williams and Bessie French, gypsies; Beulab Patterson, Cleopatra; Hairy Kelly, Shylock; Aimee Newman, Annie Willmins and Evelyn Newman, three witches from Macbeth; James Maloney, gypsy; Charles Clark, sweet sixteeu; Emma Bonney, an old aJy sypsy; George Dufur, gypsy. OLD TIME FUNERALS. WHEN LEADVILLE DID THE PROPER . THING" FOR DEAD MEN. KINDLY DONE. Attempts d Jail Break. Two young villians, Brown and Bond, who are serving a term in the Linn county jail, tbe former for highway robbery and tbe other for larceny, are now confined in dark cells, says the Albany Herald, and have brought upon themselves somewhat severe prison discipline. During tbe tem porary absence of Sheriff Jackson they attempted to break jail and succeeded in digging a good sized hole nearly through the brick and iron wall of the corridor, where they had been allowed to remain. Mrs. Jackson heard them at work and notified Deputy Sheriff D. S. Smith, who locked them up in separate cells. Brown took- his punishment quietly, hut Bond broke the bed to pieces and swore he would tear the jail down unless removed from the cell. On Shsriff Jackson's re turn be gave tbe prisoner the alternative of being gagged or being quiet Bond then grew sulky, and when his meals were handed to him by a fellow-prisooeri at whom he had a grudge, he refused to eat. At the end of thirty -six hours with out food, however, ho "squealed," said he had been a fool and promised to obey the jailor. He is a young man whose many crooked deeds have given him a bad name, although this is his first term in jail.

Plimp Kelly, nephew of Sheriff Kelly, of Multnomah county, was in Long Creek last Friday evening on the lookout for Wolf, who is supposed to he hiding some - where in tbe Blue mountains. Remain ing oyer night, he departed early Satur day morning for Harney county, where he expects to hear- something again of the murderer of Birdie Morton. It is expected that Wolf will wander into tbe desolate portion of Southern Ore gon or into Nevada, and enter the em ploye of some sheepman In order to Keep himself isolated as much as possible from civilization. Deputy Sheriff Morgan, who returned to Portland last week from a tour out in Gilliam -and Crook counties, said : "I do not consider that I have had a fruitless chase, for I tracked Wolf into tho Blue mountains, where, I am satisfied, he is now hiding. I was just five days behind him at, Jim Hamilton's place, about ten miles southeast of Fossil. He passed Hamilton's and inquired - the way to M itchell. Then he wended his way back into tbe mountains, where he is sure to be captured, sooner or later, by men who are there for other purposes. I have more confidence than eyer in the case, and he will be captured." A Pretty Story of a Clever French Critic and His Two Frienda. Many odd and amusing stories are told of the clever French critic, Jules Janin, and his friends. None is more pleasing or more to their credit than one in which Janin, Theodore Burette, the historian, and Leon Satayes, the composer, author and critic, figured. One of Janin's best friends was an old aunt, who sent him to school when he was a boy, kept house for him and took good care of him when ha a young man, was making his reputation, but not much money, in literature. It was perhaps in memory of her that he made a protege of a poor old woman whom he noticed one day in the street. He placed her in a home for aged per sons, and until her death years after ward was her thoughtful and generous friend. The good woman was very ill once, ana when -she was convalescing she said: "I want.to go and call on M. Janin. I must see him once more before I die." One of the women of the institution went with her. Janin was living then in the top of a house which commanded a beautiful view of the garden of the Luxembourg. His "garret" was filled with book and pictures, but like any other garret it was reached by climbing a great many stairs.- Slowly and pain fully the old woman toiled up the long flights. She had to sit down often to rest. It took her nearly two hours to reach the top. Janin was breakfasting with Theodore Burette. He received her with great cordiality and affection, and the three had a happy breakfast. The two men devoted them selves to entertaining her. They in quired all about the home, the rules, the diversions, the food, her recent illness, and listened with genial interest to all she had to say. She said goodby, and they made ready to escort her down stairs. "We will return your visit soon," they said, and placing themselves on either side of her they began to descend the stairs. But the effort and excitement had been too much for the feeble old lady. Her limbs failed her and she could not take a step. Just then Satayes appeared on the scene. "We must carry her down, he said. So they placed her comfortably in an armchair. Janin and Burette, who were small men, took the hack. Satayes took the front, and they went down night after flight of the many storied house breathless but cheerfuL "Well, my good woman," gasped Sa tayes, "I don't know of any queen who has a carriage like yours." The three literary workers were hardly in training for their achievement, but they placed her safe and sound on the sidewalk, and saw her go away with her attendant, her old heart deeply touched and pleased with the attentions she had received.

Reports are that there is some mystery connected with the death of Joseph Hunt, which occurred at TJkiah 'about two weeks ago. The deceased had been em ployed just one day in herding sheep lor N. H. Cottrell, and In the evening when he returned from his work, someone of fered him a drink of liquor. He refused at the time, but afterward accepted the proffered refreshment. Next morning he swallowed a drink of hot whisky, which he had himself prepared, and was subse quently attacked with violent cramps, which finally ended in death.' He made an ante-mortem statement to the effect that someone had poisoned him. In a chest in the room which he occupied a bottle of liquor was found after his death. From this it is supposed he took his morning drink, and an analysis will probably be made of its contents. The deceased resided on the middle fork of the Johii Day, and came to Camas Prairie not long before bis illness. He was 65 years old. Once Again Seen. Tribune. . Albert iiaraia, who now resides in Pendleton, but recently lived near Adams, thinks he saw Burdette Wolf, the much sought murderer. Tbe day after election, or November 9th, llarala was walking from a sawmill in the mountains to Adams about 9 a. m. He saw a man in the road ahead who acted strangely. Upon coming up to him, he asked the stranger if he had passed a four-horse team on the way. The fellowed refused to speak, and quickly went east disappearing in the mountains. Harala had seen tbe pub lished description in the papers and the subject answered very closely. His shoes were worn completely out, and his gen eral appearance was such as to induce one to easily believe he had been living in caves and neglected houses. A haunted look, a tremulous attitude when seen by human eye, a hurried departnre, all gave force to the suspicion lhat he was the man wanted. The Aoademj Party. The masquerade costnme party at Wasco Independent Academy Wedneaday evening waa an enjoyable event, and tbe characters were well represented.

Never among mankind can we find so absolute and complete an absorption of the individual by the social group as in the cities of ants and bees, where indi vidual property has never, it seems, been imagined. In these republics what One citizeness has for herself belongs to the others. . Does a hungry bee meet one laden with booty returning to a' city, she lightly taps her on the head with her antenna) and instantly the latter hastens in a sisterly way to dis gorge part of the nutriment provision ally stored in her own stomach. . Ants proceed in the same way as bees, but in addition the ant thus sustained is very careful to show her gratitude. "The ant who feels the need of food," says Huber, "begins by tapping her two antennae, with a very rapid movement, upon the antenna) of the ant from whom she expects succor. Immediately they maybe seen approaching one another with open mouth and extended tongue for the communication of the liquid which one passes to the other. During this operation the ant who receives nour ishment does not cease to caress the friend who is feeding her, continuing to move her antenna) with, singular ac tivity." "Property; Its Origin and De velopment." - Discovered Their Lou from a Friend. A small boy recently brought a ladies' gold watch into a Lewiston jewelry store and desired to have a broken crys tal replaced. The dealer had repaired the watch a few days before and he had its number and at once recognized it. The rightful owner of the watch, as it happens, lives neighbor to the jeweler, and when he went home to supper that night he called and asked them if they bad sent the watch to the shop for re pairs. They said they had not. He asked them if they had lent the watch to any one and the answer was in the negative. They were quite sure the watch was in the case where they had left it. At the request of the jeweler they looked and to their great surprise the watch was not there. The jeweler then pro duced the property and told of the boy's coming to the store to have the crystal put in. That was the first intimation the family had of being robbed. Lewis ton Journal. When "Texas Jack" Was Buried the Whole Town Turned Out There Waa m Brass Band, n Chorus from an Opera Company and a Long Procession. To one who passes along the streets of Leadville now there is just one feature in particular which serves as a mark of comparison of the Leadville of today with the mining camp of thirteen years ago. Leadville now is respectable, staid and as solemn as a mining city can be, but it isn't the solemnity in the abstract which strikes one now. It is a specific solemnity which concerns itself with funerals. To one who has lived in the past, when every funeral was an occasion for as much celebration as a circus, the quiet and sedate cortege moving along Chest nut street today is something not to be considered. It is too gloomy to suit the old timer; but, alas! the old timer is no more. In 1879 the town was wild. Every body carried a "gun" not in his pocket, mind you, only the natural born fool did, and he rarely lived to repent of it. The weapon was stuck in his belt right handy for immediate action. As a con sequence rarely a day passed without a violent death. Added to this the work of pneumonia kept the gravedigger over in the valley at work night and day. This may sound like exaggeration, but it isn't. The twinkling lights in the valley presented a grewsome appearance at night and more so when their purpose was known. They lit the gravediggers at work. Pneumonia was a fearful enemy. Men were strong, fearless, healthy in the morning, and when even ing came with it was the physician and the next day the undertaker. No ac commodations fit to be called such were obtainable, and men after days of hard work in the mines were obliged to sleep in that frosted atmosphere wherever they could. Rev. T. J. Mackey was the most pop ular clergyman in town at that time. He was loved by the good people and respected, almost venerated, by the gamblers and the miners, which doesn't imply that miners weso not in them selves reputable people. Whenever a miner or a sporting man or woman died it was Parson Mackey who was called in. There was one day in particular when the parson held four funerals, and that was the record. Four was fre quently equaled, but it stood as the top notch for one clergyman. Mr. Mackey, who was an Episcopal clergyman, held services in the Tabor opera house. Fifty dollars a day was the rent, and the collection never fell short. It waa, necessary to close the doors then long before the time for the beginning of the service to keep back the crowds. This four funeral day spoKen or was the day on which J. B, Oinohundro, known all over the world as "Texas Jack," was buried. Leadville never did funerals by halves. A brass band was a regular thing. No funeral was held without one. The band attending upon Jack was made up of fifty pieces, being a combination of several. Fay Templeton's opera com pany was playing an engagement in Leadville then, and Fay agreed to sup ply ner company to act as choir. The coffin was set upon the stage loaded with flowers, and flowers were rarer than mines in Leadville, and ev. Mackey appeared in his regimentals as chaplain of the Tabor Light Guards to preach the funeral sermon. As he pro ceeded, whenever he made an illusion to any good quality in Jack the congre gation applauded as vociferously as though they were approving a fine feature of a play. There was no dis order these people meant it all. They wept at the preacher's words and stamp ed their feet in approval of his hope for Jack s chances over there. Before the services Mr. Mackey had been waited upon by the Tabor Light Guards. They recited to him the fact that all the senior officers but the chap- lam were absent from the. city, and told him that as he was ranking officer of file day he. must don his regimentals and-lead the company. At first he de murred vigorously, but finally, equipped with blue and gold and a sword that knew not its place and the propriety of keeping it, he marched upon the stage to help Jack along. . When the services were over he found they had provided a horse for him to lead the column. The preacher wasn't the most remark able horseman in the world, but he was game, and he mounted and started away. Directly the band struck up the "Dead March in Saul" the preacher and his steed became almost as prominent as the corpse or they would have been elsewhere than ' in Leadville. Here everything went. The dominie waltzed to the graveyard on his fiery charger actually waltzed, but nobody noticed that. That was a regular thing, or at least not a striking innovation. - At Omohundro's funeral, as at all funerals in Leadville, work of all kinds was suspended. Men and women thronged upon the sidewalks packed them. One could really have walked on the heads of the people and nobody would have noticed it. In those days the undertaker took great pride in the turning out. Riding in the carriage with the preacher he would look back lov ingly and say: "Ah, now, this is a funeral that is a funeral. This is something like. Look at the crowds, parson, and we've got seven more pieces in the band than at tended the Swede that McCloskey buried yesterday. Cor. Omaha World-Herald.

"Will you let me drive?' asked Wol- eott. "Certainly," answered the other. But no sooner had Wolcott got the reins than he turned to his companion and said: "You have been shaming me for my timidity. My turn has come. Well see who squeals first P With that he flung the reins out over the horses' backs and began plying the whip furiously. The frightened horses dashed down the hill, swinging the buggy around curves and against bowlders in such wise as to threaten its demolition. Wolcott continued to ply the whip and to shout at the maddened brutes. His friend clung, white and trembling, to his seat. It is a marvel that both were not killed. Finally the buggy was overturned, the horses broke away and Wolcott and his friend were left in a confused heap, with a broken arm, a sprained ankle and a dozen body cuts and bruises between them. "Well, how do you like it?" asked Wolcott, gathering himself together and emerging nimbly from the debris. The other answered feebly but proud ly, "I hain't squealed yetr Chicago .News-Record. The Rattlesnake's Battles. It is an error to suppose that rattles are shed each year as are the horns of the deer, or that a new rattle is added each time the skin is 6hed. A friend of mine owned a massasauga over one year, and while the skin was exfoliated the rattles remained intact and without ad ditions. Men who owned rattlesnakes of the diamond species in Florida informed me that an adult might add one or two rattles that is, sections to the rattle in a year, or again not any, and that the changing of the skin exfoliation bad nothing to do with the new formation. All agreed that the older rattlers of the south were provided, as a rule, with a longer rattle than the young ones. Said one man, pointing to six specimens of the diamond rattlesnake (Cro talus ada manteus) about sixteen inches long and possessed of a single rattle and button, as the terminal and growing portion is called: "Those little rattlers were born in this house, and when they were a few weeks old I mounted them as you see them." Dr. Morris Gibbs in Forest and Stream. The Carbuncle Ring. The carbuncle ring is now quite fre quently seen on the hands of -the fash ionable gentleman. One of the rarest and most precious stones is the carbun cle, which is sometimes confounded with the ruby, from which it differs by the intensity of its fires, produced by an internal luster of gold, while under the purple of the ruby there only appear dottings of azure or lacquer. Ethiopia produced the most precious ancient car buncles. -The Chaldeans regarded this 8 tone as a powerful talisman. The vir tues of the carbuncle are resistance to fire, preservation of the eyes, promotion of pleasant dreams, creation of happy illusions and an antidote against impure air. Bangor Commercial.

Afterward there are two other collections. The caves in which the nests are found are scattered about the islands; some are far inian others in rocks concealed in mangrove swamps. London News.

' The floor walker stood beside a num ber of bolts of cloth. It was in one ot the big stores in Fourteenth street. "Come with me," he said. . When we had arrived at the rear of the store he carefully opened a door leading to a small room. - There, on a soft lounge, all cuddled up, asleep and evidently dreaming, was a 'dear child with golden hair. "The child," exclaimed the floor walker, "belongs to some woman now shopping in this place. She is wander ing around from counter to counter and has temporarily forgotten her dear little Willie. We found the child asleep neat the elevator, tired out apparently. . "And you will take care of it till she comes back, ehf "We wilL JWe have a number of children to look after each day. Some are lost, some forgotten, but the mam' mas all come back in due season." Just then there was a suppressed ejaculation at the door, something that sounded like: "Oh, my deardarlingchildchildchildr A woman bounded into the room. Such kissing, such hugging, you never saw m all your born days! "It was like this," the woman said. "I left the dear boy just one tiny min ute to look at some bargains in laces. Then Mrs. Gamp came up, and of course I had to talk to her. Time slipped by; it was most an hour before I ever thought of dear little Willie again." "Well," said the floor walker smiling, "he is safe." Then the woman went away with her prize, saying something at each step that sounded like: . "O-h, m-a-m-m-a's d-e-a-r 1-i-t-t-l-e 1-o-B-t b-o-y!
