Says Ilenry Dews, the Wall street banker, in his weekly financial review Contrary to all previous experience, money is flowing in large amount to this center at the middle of October the sea son at which it has always gone to the interior for moving the crops. All the tendencies are towards a plethora of funds seeking employment in this mar ket; and, should the repeal bill pass the senate, this ease in money will set capital free for employment in the larger enter prises and promote a general revival of business."

The peace and dignity of the clerk's office, which during these days of finan cial depression is as calm as a summer sea, was disturbed this morning by An drew Pearson striding into the room, and, with uplifted hand, swearing that hence forth he will bear true and faithful allegi ance to the republic of the United States and forever renounce the king of Norway and Sweden as his prince and potentate. The cranks continue to leap into prom inence. An exchange says : "A Kansas man has discovered a liquid preparation that will change the color of the African and make bim a white man. He says he has experimented on two negroes and that his preparation did the work. He says he will open an establishment to put his discovery into operation. He thinks his fortune will be made when bis Idea is introduced in the south." Attorney . B. Dufur, of The Dalles, says the Prineville Newt, represented Prosecuting Attorney Wison, who is in disposed, in the circuit court for Crook county this week. We wish to say for Mr. Dufur that he did bis whole sworn duty in conduciing cases for the state. It is, perhaps, needless to say more. But it is a satisfaction sometimes to Know that anv man and especially an attorney, will perform eyery dutiful obligation that he makes. Attorneys, you know, are often accused of trying to whip justice; hence the above remark. . A dispatch from Spokane, dated the 22d inst, says: "Edward M. Swanson, a Swede, was arrested at the Placer mining camp at the mouth of the Pend d'Oreille river late last night charged with the murder of a brother prospector by the name of Goldstein. There are several witnesses who, it is claimed, will swear that alter a dispute Swanson drew his rifle and deliberately shot Goldstein and then took what he claimed was his due from the dead man's pockets.

There is some indications that a literary olnb will be formed this winter by these in. ciincd to the study of the c'asaic. ft is presumed there will be weekly meetiozs. of which the programme will consist of du-J cussions oi tue leading dramas of Shakes peare, Bulwer-Lytton and Sberidan. E- says on subjects relating to Eaglish ai.d f continental literature, after the reoaissanc, will be an especial feature of the meetings We hope our informant is correct, as such a society will act as a great incentive to the study of the English classics, and the long winter evening could not be speut to a greater advantage. We learn from the Neva that arrange ments are being made in Prineville to have a match game ot baseball played sometime in November between the 1st and 20th between the Antelope and Prineville nines. A paper was circulated last week to ascertain how much money could be raised in the way of a purse, etc. The subscriptions are liberal, and, as the management is in good and com petent hands, we have no doubt of the success of the getting up of the games. ' Eugene Guard: One,Haok Tondro, a man about 50 years of age, who came here about a month ago and was em ployed in J. W. White's second hind store, left suddenly Monday night. He slept in the store and had the entire con fidence ot his employer. Mr. White states that a watch, a revolver, three suits of cloihes, some footwear and cigars are missing besides about $4 in money .which was in the cash drawer. The amount of the stolen property is worth at least $50 or $60. It is thought the thief left on one at M.

Mr. Linns Hubbard, who has been a resi dent of the city for several years past, left this morning tor his old home in Buffalo, N. Y. Mr. Chas. Mell, of Centerville, Wash., has been in the city for the past two days. His harvest turned out well, and he suf fered little Iocs by reason of rain. We receiver! a pleasant call to-day rom Mr. Frank Leiblaod, of Kiugsley. He har vested and threshed his Kiain before the rain, and was therefore fortunate. U. S. Grant is the postmaster at Dallas.

Carl Schurz and Wayne MoVeagh hay ing failed to net othces have tiegun to blackgnarJ the president. President Cieve land evidently thinks, like most honorable men, that the good will which has to be purchased is not worth having. The crushed rock from the machine now at work in Union street is being ud to till mud holes. If the produ :t of this stone chevter n properly utilized the thorough fares of the city would be very much lm proved in the next few weeks. . Mr. H. L. Powell, of Pleasant Ridge, brought us to-day some fine specimens of potatoes an 1 heats, growu on bis farm a tew miles from the city. Thev are very largo, and no doubt of excellent fiivor. The soil of Wasco county is very excellent and as prolific as any on the coast. The city jail was not vacant last night. and, during the dark watches, when nature all arounil was still, a loue, lOlitary lntbr: ate slept the sleep that knows a terrible awakening. This morning he was inter viewed by Recorder Dufnr and replenished the city treasury in a proper amount. A special dispatch of the 23 1 iast. from Everett, Wash., says: Daniel J. White, for some months employed as car repairer by the Monte Uristo railroad, at 4:d0 yes terday afternoon locked himself in one of the company's oars at the depot and blew his brama out with a revolver. Decea.ed was an Englishman, about 30 years old, and his iamily resided at Whatcom. No reason can be assigned for the act. A new student, .Nicholas Braunau, ar rived at the state school for deaf mutes Tuesday, fays the Salem Statesman. He came from Talent, Jackson county, and raised the total enrollment at this institu tion to 4422 bovs and 22 girls. The build ings at this school are btted for the accomo dation of 40 pupils, and it does not savor of exaggeration to say that the session rooms, dormitories, diniug ha 1, etc., are crowded. A Spokane attorney baa broken the re cord for short pleas. luis 11. rlattor is his name and the official time was 18 sec onds. He said: "Gentlemen of the jury1, admitting everything the attorneys for the defense have claimed is true, 1 wish to say merely this: Remember the assault oc curred on the prosecuting witness' prem ises." The jury awarded him by bringing in a verdict of guilty. Salem Statesman: The state reform school board held a meeting yesterday afternoon at the capitol.the purpo e being to consider the expediency of going ahead with the buildiDg improvements at the reformatory. Owing to the threatening weather it has been deemed best not to proceed with the laying ot the brick walls as the dampnes; would yery lisely have a bad effect upon them. The matter will be decided at a meeting to-day. - Monday evening a Union Pacific freight train ran into a band of valuable horses, the property of Dr. W. B. Clowe, Bays the Walla Walla Union, killing two fillies out right and injuring two others so badly that it was necessary to shoot them. The doc tor had jut brought 21 head of horses from Oregon and turned them into his pas ture near the city, where the train pass ing through the place stampeded them with the above result. The Peud etou East Oregonian says: J. W, Crawford, agent for the Umatilla Indian reservation, will soon distribute to the In dians $2000 in cash. Tnis money was paid to the department of the interior about eighteen months ago by the Umatilla Irri gation company, as return to the ladians for putting the company's ditch across the lands of the reservation. This $2000 will be a welcome boon to the local merchants, to whom most of the money will go within a few days ot its disbursement by Azeot Crawford. B-irglara attempted to blow np the post efhee safe at Rosalia, Wash., on Suuday night. ' They first broke into ' Charles Hoeck's blacksmith shop and secured some drills. The safe is close along side the wall that divides the postofflje from the drug store. It was drilled in four places, and the supposition is that the burglars bad no time to insert their dynamite, or were frightened by the night watchman passing, as they left all their tools strewn on the no ir. Ths postmistress has notified the de partment authorities. News: Meagre reports reach this city of a fatal accident which happened about two miles west of Philomath last Saturday, re sulting in the death of David Garid. The team which he was driving became unman ageable in some manner and ran away. The wagon capsized and the unfortunate driver was crushed under the load in such a terrible manner that he never regained con sciousness and died this morning. He was about 40 years of ag) aud leaves a wife and four small children in destitute circum stances to mourn bis irreparable loss. in the afternoon, and on examination of the wonnd the physicians decided that the hand must be amputated, but as Mr. Stauffer ob jected, thea they dressed the injured part and advised him to go to the hospital at Portland, and leave the matter" with the surgeon. From Friday's Daily. Ex Gov. Z. F. Moody is in the city. Large numbers of sheep are dying in the heavy snowstorms on the mountains of Klickitat county "The sere, the vellow leaf covers the sidewalk, and these should be removed by householders and property owners. Mr. and Mrs. W.

It has not been as successful as former years by reaion of the finamial depression; but the exhibits of the northwest have been equal to those of other years. It is stated that tne Southern Pacific com pany's shops are to run on full time. The change goes into effect to day and applies to all points on the system between El f aso and Portland. This order will affect 6000 men and increase the pay-roll $100,000. The weather is simply perfect. There is no Iudian summer of two or three weeks duration in the northwest; but the fall sea- before all the Brain is threshed. Many of the farmers are putting in their fall wheat when tbey can't thresh, and some are haul ing to the railroad, but business ot all kinas is at a standstill and wilt be till tne crop is sold. Everybody seems discouraged, and what the final outcome is to be is bard to divine. This country is seeing the hardest times since its settlement. The penitentiary at Walla Walla is ra idlv filling with convicts. Here is an ac count of the latest arrivals from the Stale' man: "rive new crooks nave arnvea at the Walla Walla penitentiary from Sno homish. The parties who have changed their boarding places are: Peter falnier aud B. O. Hansen, tried together, charged with assault with deadly weapons with ID- tent to kill, one year. William Cooper and John Webb, found guilty of burglarizing Clark's store at Everett, five years at bard labor, and Bud Cox, guilty of burglarizing Allen Zeicle's Dowder house, one year. Sheriff Hogan and Jailer Koowles brought their Dasseneers to Walla Walla last even ing- A Sorry State of Affairs. The Palouse country is a sorry spectacle this year by reason of the constant rains damaging the grain harvest. This region is undoubtedly the garden spot of the north west, and it can raise more bushels of wheat to the acre than anv soot in Oregon and Washington. Usually the crops are won derful, often producing as high as 50 or 60 bushels to the acre; but the rains came early this season, and the grain was dam aged in the stacks on in such a condition that it could not be threshed. The result has been most deplorable, and farmers, gen erally considered well-to-do, have lost their full summer's work. Of course this hss af fected all branches of business, and, coming as it does on the heels of the Democratic hard times, the country is in a terrible con dition. We have conversed with persons who have visited different towns in the northwest, and the universal verdict is that The Dalles shows more evidence of proper- pioneers with great satisfaction. For many years he has lived in The Dalles and vicinity, and for a long time resided in Port land. In 1846 he aet type on the New York Sun; but becoming tired of being "galley slave" took a position in the mail mg department, uuring ma resilience in Oregon he baa been thrown in contact with some of the most prominent characters in the history of the state. He had an in timate acquaintance with Gen. Joseph Lane, Hon. Delazon Smith, and others who have impressed their individuality upon the eommonweath. Mr. Wicka is always will ing to impart any information desired, and those interested in the northwest will at ways feel an attraction towards old pio neers. Princes of the Orient. The muezzin has sounded from the towers ot the mosque of Omar, and Prince Oslamish Pashaw has moved bis tents to the city of The Dalles. This evening, soon after the call to prayers has sounded, the Princes of the Orient will meet in Fraternity hall to confer in secrot conclave. Let those only approach the outer door who have made the pilgrimage to Mecca.and in evidence thereof is adorned with the white turban. Candi dates will only be admitted after a thorough examination of their residence in the desert. and a claar deduction from their answers and conduct that tbey seek complete knowl edge of a further insight into the mysteries of the royal arcarum of wisdom.

Even Portland, change of seasons is hardly perceptible, The Regulator takes heavy loads down the river. Wheat has been shipped to Port land in large quantities during the past few days, and there is a yast number of bushels in this and Sherman counties that must find an outlet to market by means of the Colum bia riyer. According to a vote in the house Monday, nine representatives favor worn ui suffrage. They are Allison, Carey, Dolph, Frve, Gal linger, Huar, Kyle, Peffer, Teller. Carey is from Wyoming where women have al ways been allowed to vote. Dolph has long been an advocate of this reform. A tall, athletic appearing Indian has been on the streets for the past few days, and considerable curiosity has been exercised regarding him He is dressed in a tur coat, snd is perfectly conversant with German and other foreign languages. After diligent inquiry he was ascertained to be a member of the Wi:d West show that hid given ex hibitions in France, Eagland and Germany. He severed his connection with the troupe, and returned to his farm in Crook county, where he baa remained ever since. He was offered a good sum if he would go to Chi cago during the work 'a fair; bit preferred to stay on the old homestead, and remain with his amily. Heppner Gazelle; W. M. Stauffer, of the Social Ridge country, while working with a thresher at Benge's ranch, met witfl a very paikful accident last Saturday morning which may cost him bis right hand. He was oiling the machine while the same was in motion, when his hand was eaugbt in the cogs of the side gearing, badly smashing it, and crushing several of the carpal bones, Mr. Stauffer was brought to Heppner late The west-bound passenger passed through the city about 7 o'clock this mo ning.

Of this amount 7700 bushels were his own, and the yield was very good. He thinks Wasco couutv has suffered the least from the lato rains of any portion ot Eistern Oregon. A maiden from the citv tripped lightly amid the trees and sniffed the pungent odor that floated on the breeze. "Ah. tell me ancient farmer wi;h arms so brown an.l bare, what is the wonde'ous flowtr that scents tbe morning air?"

Walker, of the Distillery Co , met with a paiuful acci dent lust week. He is the head miller, and while patting an endless chain onto a spro- kit wheel his hand not caught aud was drawn between the chain and wheel, muti latine it in a very serious manner. He will probably be laid np for a couple of months. "He is a foreigner" is a common expres sion among Americans, ana tnis n not in good taste. No one is ashamed of his birth place, and to call a man a f renenman, Irishman, Englishman, German or Italian shows no disrespect, for every one is proud of his nationality; but CO class a'l not to "the manner born" under the generic term of "foreigners" is not courteous, and is uu- gentlemanly. The midwinter fair buildings, at San Francisco, are being pushed forward with great energy, and the enterprise promises to be a great success. The grounds are ai re idy dubbed the Palm City, and from de scriptions given, very apprnpriite'y nick named in that manner, as from the tropical character and munificence of the decora tions it will form a very attractive place of resort. , Papers were filed in the county clerk's otbcj committing one Jack Martin to the insane hospital at Silem, says the East Ureqonian. Tney set forth that he resides in Dayton, Wash., and is a com m in laborer. It was ascertained that wheo be was twenty-six years of age, be was injured aud took morphine for medicine, and that since that time he has been much addicted to the use of tobacco, whiskey and morphiue. Oregonian: D. H. Stearns is in the east booming Oregon fruit lands. He has a car load of fruit with him, and is advertising Oregon to the extent of a half page in the daily papers. At present he is in Omaha stirring np tbe natives. He writes to a friend in this city that nearly everybody is anxious to come to Oregon, and will de so as soon as a purchaser for their property can be found. , . The servant girl problem has reached such a crisis in Massachusetts that a really sensible though high-sounding movement has been made. Schools are to be estab lished where cooking, washing, etc., are to be taught and the new science of house keeping is to be styled oekologv. Training schools of this description have been long needed, aud it wili be found that intelligent graduates from a course of e:kology will do much to make the fast vanishing home life enjoyable. Our good wishes are with the oekologists. Advance: . Information comes from Okan ogan county that the people are much elated by the assurauco of G. W. Adnam, who is making his second tour of tbe coun try for President Hill, of the Great North ern, thit tne railroad win surely ce ex tended to tue mines at an early date. 1 he plan now in contemplation is to continue the operation of steamboats on the Colum bia river between Wenatcheeand the mouth of tbe Okanogan, or that vicinity, and con nect at the latter point with a railroad op tbe Okanogan valley. The tramps uppear to have taken posses sion of the Sontbern Pacific railroad. Hun dreds of them are swarming toward San Francisco and the end is not yet, because when the world's fair closes there will be an army of hungry. men without banner mak ing their way to the Pacific coast. If the Chinamen were -out of the way there would be room for them, but it looks as if congress was going to extend the Geary act and thus permit the Chinese to remain in tne coon- try What to do witn an army of unem ployed workingmen on this coast in a dull season is going to be a serious problem. The government snagboat Corvallis, which has been operating along the channel of the Upper Willamette for some time, as cended to Eugene Saturday and remained until Monday morning. The boat went down to the riffle, about one mile below Eueene. where she will spend a day or two yanking ont a number of snags in the river channel. It will yet take seven or eight days to entirely clean out the river channel between Eugene and Harnsbnrg from these obstructions. Captain Hatch says, witha liberal appropriation from the govornment, that the river could be made navigable to that point all tbe year. The Pomeroy Independent has th:s to aa of tbe damage to g ain crops in Garfield county: "Tbe outlook is dark for the ag ricultural interests of this oounty and all of Eastern Washington. The damage is much greater north of this connty. there will be people all over this section that will baye only bread and potatoes for diet for manv months to come. Such as groceries are out of tbe question for many hard work ing families whose entire resources were in their wheat crop. Now this ia practically gone there is nothing to pay debts already contracted, much less buy supplies for the future." A Gilliam county exchange has the fol lowing: "The rains this fall are unprece dented in the history of Eastern Oregon. In the first place the harvest was later than common, and before the grain was all cut tbe rain began, and has so retarded thresh ing that it will be nearly or quite month the metropolis, taking into consideration its 100,000 population, is not Equal to the little moss back town at the head of navigation. The Times Mopxtaineer is of the same opinion that it has entertained for years that with the proper exercise of enterprise on the part of its business men this city would lead all others in the Inland Empire, Nature has dona everything possible to make it the center of trade and manufac tures, and if it does not attain this position no one is to blame but itself. Fossil Journal: Friday evening about dusk, at his sheep camp near Lost Valley, Geo. Hardie met with an accident that is causing him considerable pain and may disfigure him somewhat. He had been cleaning his rifle, when, hearing a coyote howling close by the camp, he hastily put the pieces together aud went out to take a shot at the varmint, which was in plain sight but a few rods away. In his haste' he tailed to put the gun together correctly, with tbe result that when he fired the needle flew out, passed through his nose and lodged in his right cheek. The coy ote escaped. George's brother Willie came in after Dr. Howard, who went out and tended the patient At present he has much more than his ordinary amount ot cheek, but, unless com plications arise, he will not be permanently disfigured. Seven Million Bushels Lost. It is half amusing in the gloom of drowned crops to read interviews with men who travel along the Northern Pacific rail road 100 miles from the heart of the Palouse valley, says an exchange, hooting at tbe idea that two thirds or about 7,000.000 bu-hels of the crop of Whitman county was des troyed by the recent heavy storms. One man said the loss could not be so heavy, be cause 40 per cent was cut before tbe ram set in. Forty per cent waa cut, true enough, but four fifths ot that 40 per cent is totally ruined. Most of it was in stacks, and those stacks are thoroughly rotted Nearly all of the threshed grain, too, was lyiug out, and of course the priucipal part of it was damaged to such an extent as to condemn it tor merchantable purpose. Fully half ot the standing grain was knocked down and neatly all that is down has sprouted, and much of that still stand ing is swolleu and ready to sprout. Lake D. Wolfard, of Tacoma, who hai several thousand acres in wheat a few miles north of Colfax, says after a thorough in spection of bis crop and other fields in eyery part of the county, that it would be hard to get one-third of a crop from Whitman. He places tbe loss of the county at 6 500,000 bushels. J. W. Arrasmitb, speaker of the house of representatives, says the loss wi'l go above 7,000,000, for very little east of Colfax will be saved. Improving the Iee. Among tbe many insects indispens able to man are the cochineal hug, the silkworm and the honey bee. To the latter Dr. Lamborn s attention has recently turned, doubtless with a view to bringing about the advent of the much talked of "coming bee." Although apiculture is the oldest economic pursuit, it is only within the last century that much scientific thought has been directed m the per fection of the stock. Much has been accomplished in the line of developing a gentler bee, but at the expense of other qualities. To evolve an ideal bee some points must be considered which have hitherto been overlooked. A combination of desirable points of various races and an elimination of objections must require much pa tience, time and money. Entomo logical News. A Raflromd Man Thrilliug Eseape From at Crowd of Boisterous Tough.

I was quiet ly passing down the street one day when a gang of drunken greasers concluded that hanging would im prove my personal appearance, and before I suspected harm a lariat was thrown about my neck, and I was brought to earth with a jar that nearly drove my spinal column through my broad brimmed straw hat "The telegraph line was in course of construction, the poles being up, but the wires not yet strung. To ward one of these poles with its cross bar the Mexicans dragged me over the Btony street, while a crowd quickly gathered and began to pelt me with pebbles. I was rapidly choking to death and realized that if I expected to continue to send in fat expense ac counts to my house I had best begin to get a hustle established in busi ness. "I managed to fish out my jack- knife and cut the lariat before it pulled my head off, and as I got on my feet I pulled my revolver and be gan to shoot. In 10 seconds I had the street to myself, but I realized that the treacherous natives would soon begin to bushwhack me and hurried down toward the railroad, hoping to hnd a mustang to carry me out of danger. I found no mus tang, but a locomotive and four flat cars loaded with telegraph poles stood on the mam track. The en gineer had left the cab, and a lazy Mexican fireman was lounging out of the window. I bounced into the cab and pulled open the throttle. The Mexican raised his voice in protest, but I covered him with my empty revolver and ordered run) to fire up. It was 54 miles to Nogales, on the Arizona line, ahd I covered it in an hour and 10 minutes. Once across the line I was all right, and as I didn t know the result of my pistol practice I can tell you that I left the land of the erstwhile Montezumas with a profoundly thankful heart."

At last, Ellen's patience being exhausted, her temper arose, and promptly deciding that strong measures alone would answer he drew back and slapped the child on the cheek with all her might, ex claiming, "There, now, is you mad at me now I" It is needless to say there was an answer at last.

"Jason," said Mrs. Calliper to her husband as they sat at dinner, "when I was. coming back from Cometville the other day, after my visit to Mrs. Gratebar, the train boy went through the cars, as usual, with papers, magazines and candy, and when he was making the trip with the candy he threw a package into the lap of a little girl who was sit ting with her mother. They were nice looking people, but it seemed to me somehow as though they were very poor. I imagined that she was a widow and that she had to look out now for every penny. . Well, the lit tle girl picked up the candy package and looked at it all over and read what it said on it, and finally she said to her mother: - " 'Mamma, can't I have this candy?' "And her mother said softly: " 'No, dearie. I wish you could, but mamma can't spare the money.' The little girl didn't say a word more, ishe just held the package and kept it ready to hand to the train boy when he should come along. It was plain that merely to hold it was a pleasure. 'Sitting in the next seat back of the mother and her child was a woman who couldnx help hearing what had been said. She had of course kept quiet, but when she saw the little girl fitting there holding the candy she couldn't keep still any longer, and she leaned forward and said: " 'Madam, I don't wish to intrude, but it would afford me great pleas ure if you would permit me to buy the candy for the little girl. "Of course this was an intrusion, Jason, but the mother couldn't fail to realize from the woman's voice and manner the spirit in which the offer was made, and I am glad to say that she accepted it with a smile and a pleasant 'I thank you,' and the lit tle girl looked up, smiling, and said, So do L' And so you see, Jason, the little girl got the candy after alL" Yes, Cynthia," said Colonel Calli per, "and l think: i could guess who the woman was that gave it to her."

The uses to wrucn asbestua is ap plied are so varied that tbe mining of the mineral has become quite an extensive industry. In the majority of mines the Rtone is blasted out, ma chine drills being used to bore the blast holes. The crude asbestus in the most modern plants is carried up an inclined railway to a stone crusher, where it is broken with the adhering rock into pieces not much over 14 inches in size. From the crusher the ore drops on an inclined sieve, which is shaken continually by suitable machinery, the loose fiber and dust going directly to the cleaning and grading inw.nmnn, wiuie we larger pieces are dropped on a revolving table, where the worthless rock is removed by hand. The larger pieces are 8tDl further crushed and sorted, the object being to procure a clean fiber free from dirt. The chief difficulty in this method of preparing the material lies in the fact that if asbestus is crushed with a considerable amount of stone until the latter is reduced to powder the long and most valuable part is partially destroyed, while if the stone is not entirely reduced be fore grading it a large amount of waste is the result.
