The flags in the city were at half mast to day la honor of the memor ot Dr. Rine hart, who died yesterday in La Grande. This morning was. the coldest, of the season. Heavy lrost lay on the ground, and the atmosphere had a wintry feeling. - Farmers in this county, after the wet wheat has been threshed, spread it out upon the floor of the barn to 'dry. This requires the labor of several men eyery day. - On account of the death of Dr. Rine hart the Union whist clnb, of which he - was a member, will not hold its regular " ' meeting this evening. A person who came in town from Du fur this morning says theie was snow at Eight Mile, and a blizzard blew with considerable violence.

Eugene Guard: David Smith while clearing ground four miles above Spring field caught a nondescript animal tun other day. It has the form and voice of a chipmunk, but the tail is long and busby, the eyes are red, and the fur is white and finer than that of the chip munk. It is doing well in a cage. Loop Creek Eagle: Wm.

The Corral lis Aeuwsajs: A meeting of theO P. R. R. employes was held at Ya- qnina last evening for the purpose of con sidering the question of taking receiver's - certificates for back wages.

Umatilla county wool-growers have or ganized the "Umatilla I'onniy Wool Growers' Association." T. B. Wells was elected president and William Beagle as secretary and treasurer. One of the pro visions of the constitutions is that it shall be non-political ana committed to no can didate for office. The association will discuss and act upon such matters as con- - cerns4lukaliterebt8 of wool-growers, prob ably agreeing on wages to be paid sheep herders and shearers. v . , "- -, Baker City Democrat: A 5 courier came in from tbe Virtue mine yesterday bring ing the intelligence that a miner by the - t i m u: u.j I I name uj o uuu j.umpa.iuB uwi ucou ustcu on and badly injured in one of the stopes. 1 1 j . i irw soon as possible to attend the man.

Tbe YVaterville Index bas the following in regard to tbe products of a portion of Washington: Lincoln county will raise about 4,000,000 bushels of wheat with a Joss by rain of only shoot 6 per cent. Dooglaa county will not raise so mucb but her loss is less. The Palonse country, while tbe crop is estimated at 10.000,000 bushels, will not have oyer 2,500,000 of Ho 1 wheat to ship. On account of careless stacking the rains sprouted the wheat ao that much of it is only tit for feed. A certain real estate agent in Salem, aaya the Democrat, who baa more atyle thau honesty, becoming pressed for lunds, re cently retorted to the following method of "raising the wind." . Going to a mill man he purchased $100 worth of lumber, prom ising to pay on tbe first of tbe month He then 'sold the lumber to a contractor f r ninety dollars ai d waa to have been paid in a coup e of days, but the mill man got to bear of nia last transaction and collected the money from the contractor. The pro oeediogs waa probably within the law, yet none tbe less rascally. I nnt inivtr in thia iuDi. There ia a aimnta announcement that he it "back from Mo Minnvilla sooner that was expected." The "Ye" on last evening gave a most en tertainiog social at tbe academy building It waa cbaracten'atic of tbe society and was one of tbe most enjoyable affairs that have occurred thia seaaon. A cons.derable nutn ber were pretent, and all express them eelve as having had a very pieasnt time. Wheat teama atill continue to arrive in large numbers, and the afreets in the vicin ity of the warehouses are crowded early and late with a throng of wagons waiting tneir tnrn to unload. Mothwitbataoding tbe large quantities that were damaged by the late rainr, the amount o merchantable wheat this year will be greatly in excess uf any prior season. A new regime on the Southern Pacific railr ad, not known by many, is that aix ot riokerton s detectives are now employed on the night run on the overland train. Wells Fargo & Co. hve alao placed armed guards in their cars on the overland train. Thia precaution is taken, it ia understood, to preyent the possibility of any tram rob beries and train wrecking. Wei's Fargo & (Jo's shotgun messengers run between Al bany and Ashland.. Heppner Gazelle: Mel Dusliu and Wm Coy have been arte-ted over at Canyon Cty, charged with furnishing Moore and Reiter, the robbers, wi'h tools with which to make a key. The evidence against tbe men is quite conclusive, and each waa re quired to give f 1000 bonds. Moore had the key completed when discovered, and Sheriff Combi piid bim (5 to show his expertnea in getting out ot iiil. He earned tn V in hve minutes, but did not gain bis liberty. Tbe following from the Baker Democrat sounds very encouraging: ''The proapecta tor an era of prosperity for oar cattle men are excellent. Eartern buyers are scouring Oregon and Washington for everything for three years and over. Tbere have probably been 20,000 head shipped oot this season and Monday one buyer's cbecka amounting to $21,000 were cashed ia this city, -a fact ahowing that this section haa furnished its qnoto of the number. For several years paat growers have been discouraged ove the low price prevailing and stopped feed ing to a great extent so tbere ia aore to be a shortage soon. Whenever the shortage be comes apparent then prices will begin to raise." Goldendale Sentinel: Died at bis resi dence, near Coiumbus. on Monday the 23 oat.. Amos Stark, aged 74 years. The de ceased was born in Missour , and was a pioneer of E is tern Washington, having come to Klickitat county from the Fraser river 40 years ago. He waa also a veteran of the Mexican war.

John Finn in the Saamokawa Eagle savs: "Talking about vteam boat r tea, in 1850 I took my first ride on the C .'umbia river. It was on a little boat called the Columbia. I remember that we had a big crowd on her, over a Hundiel passengers They charged me a $20 gold piece for the issage from Astoria to Portland. We left Astoria iu the eveniog without aupper and when we got to Oak Point about 12 o'clock that night, a number of us made a rush ashore to get something to eat; but tbere as nothing there aud we went on board and pushed on for Portland. At noon the next aay we got tur first and only meal on the passage. It was a grab game, I tell oo, aud we were a hungry lot when we reached Portland late that night. The f .11 account of the fatal electric car accident was not as disastrous as at first re ported. Five bodiea have been recovered from the river, and every effort has been used to ascertain whether any more fatali ties occurred. The Evening Telegram i es a very lull account of the uutortuuate oc currence, and from that it appeara theie were eighteen or twenty pa-iaengers on board, and tbe cot doctor, aeeiog tbe dan ger a few feet from the gate, gaye tbe warn ing to jump, and it is h iped that all es caped except tbe five mentioned It was a foggy, trostv uioraing, and the red light could hardly be discerned and the track was covered witb ice.

Moro Observer: Henry Burro bas sold his farm, tbe property be intended raffling off, to K. M. Starns, one of Hay Canyon'a prosperous farmers. Mr. Starna owls con aidcrable land adjoining tbe Burro farm, therefore tne acquisition of this piece ot f roperty is very gratifying to him. Tbe farmers of Clackamas county are or ganizing to buy farm machinery in quan tities of the loweat bidder. These organi zations generally fall under control of some unscrupulous sharper and the farmer pays well tor bis experience. Ic is bettei to trust the local dealer of whose responsible ity there is no question. From Portland it is learned that Charles Luodegger, who bas been writing cranky letters to Mayor Mason aod Governor Peu noyer for some time, stating that Senator Mitchell and other persona ought to be killed, was arrested Wednesday aud sent to tbe asylum. No attention was paid to his tetter, till Carter Harrison waa assassinated, when it was thought best to lock him op and dispose of him. Tbe death of Dr. Rioehsrt leaves the city without a chief executive otfi er, and tl e vacancy shuu d be tilled by the couuoil at the earliest possible date. From a careful leading of the charter tbe council bas the power to appoint, . and a t on should be tsken immediately, as a city cannot act in many instances withont s mayor. This will be no disrespect whatever to tbe honored dead; but aimply for the welfare of the municipality.

Statesman: Our neighboring town of Milton is stirred up over a series ot trials going on in Justice Armstrong's court, wherein the p antiflV names are legion and the defendant's name is Willis Young. A short time ago Mr. Young dis appeared from Milton and left numerous debts nopaid; aUo two horses.

Dinner was being cooked when a noise was heard issuing from the building, as it ' made by seething flames. Oa going oot to ascertain the caus the roof was found to be a mass ot flames, and they had progressed so much when discov ered that it was impossible to stop their ravages. The builriiog and furniture were completely consumed, and the family saved very little from the fiery destroyer. There was no insurance on the house, and the loss falls heavily on Mr. Montgomery and his family. The fall seaaon is fairly inaugurated, with autumn tints on forest trees, and the chrysanthemums in bloom in gardens. It is a time for poets to dwell on the beau ties, of decaying vegetation, and the morn ing atmosphere, clear days, bright sun light and the universal calm that per vades nature furnishes a theme for simile and imagery. There may be poetry in frosty mornings, clear, cold days, and the signs of death and decay in forest trees ; out to him who delights in the spring time ot lite, witb budding nowcrs on every hand, there is something more in vigorating than in the silent murmur of tbe flowing stream or the variegated lints oi mapie, poplar ana oak.

God has indeed been moat beneficent to our atate and na tion, and yet unjuat and ill advised congres sional legislation having made gold alone full legal tender money, haa so dwarfed and paralyzed business, that the bounties, of Providence are now denied to hundreds of thousanda of people within the national do- wbo are not only without employ ment, but alao without means of procuring food, raiment or shelter. While, therefore, the people of Oregon return thanks to God for bis goodness, I do earnestly lecommend that they devoutly implore Him to dispose the president and congress of the United States to secure restoration of silver aa a full legal tender money in accordance with the policy of tbe fathers cf the republic, whereby our industries may be revived and the honest toilers of tbe laod may procure tbeir daily bread not as an alms, bot as a reward of their boor." Many Aspirants Already tbere are long lists of namea be ing heralded in the papers for candidates for state offices at the June election. A good deal of it la talk. The Independent saysi "Tbere will be no lack of aspirants for gubernatorial honors. The names of Mayor Mason, of Portland, Judge ft. P. Boise, Hon. Tilmon Ford and Z. F. Moody, of Salem, will probably oome before the Re publican state convention, and Apperaon, of Oregon City, T. T. Gear and Binger Her mann are - mentioned oa tbe Republican side. Among Democratic aspirants talked of are George Chamberlain, of Salem, Gen- Fatal Accident in Fortland. A terrible accident occurred at Port land this morning, causing the death of several persons. It seems that the elec tric car from Milwaukee was passing over the Madison street bridge at 6:30 a. m.. and tbe draw being open it went to the bottom of the Willamette. There were sixteen passengers on board when it reached the bridge, and one lady was put off before the accident. It was the early morning car, that carried suburban resi dents to their work in the metropolis, and twenty-five fares bad been taken, but only fifteen had engaged passage to the city. Three or tour bodies have been recovered from the wreck, and it is supposed tbe fifteen on board were drowned. The morning was dark.and it is said the track was slippery; but this is no excuse lor such a deplorable accident, and a thor ough investigation should be made. Until the bodies are recovered and a coroner's inquest held the (acts connected with the tragic occurrence will not be known, and then the officials of Portland should set an example that should be followed by every municipality in the United States. New Steamer Company. Salem Statesman: From Portland direct comes the rumor that a new company is in process of orginizttion for the purpose of operating 3 line of light draft steamers be tween tbe metropolis and Salem and the head of navigation, wherever that shifting point may be. The new corrpany s pur pose is announced to be to effect the pur chase of or build a new light veaael and to take the old Salem and remodel ber. She will require a new bull and many other improvements to make her serviceable. The company haa had a man along the river soliciting among tbe warehou-emen aod it is said they are promised sufficient patronage to amply justify the venture. A. D.

It is dangerous to get shaved by an inexpert, clumsy handed, negli gent or groggy barber. It is danger ous to get shaved in any barber's shop in which the lather is not per fectly pure, or in which any of the tonsorial appliances are unclean. The man who would guard against danger ought to have a lather mug and brush for himself, ought not to let his face be touched by a sponge that is in general use and ought not to patronize a barber who will use the same towel for different custom We whisper these words here, not as knowledge for men of circumspec tion, but as a warning to negligent men, who throw away dull care when they get into a barber's chair. We assure .them that there are doctors who can tell of the perils that maybe encountered under the razor. New York Sun. Care of the Byes. Avoid all sudden changes between light and darkness. Never begin to read or write or sew for several min utes after coming from darkness to a bright light. Never read by twilight or moonlight or on a very cloudy day. Never read or sew directly in front of the light or window or door. It is best to have the light fall from above, obliquely over the left shoul der. Never sleep so that on first awaking the eyes shall open on the light of a window. Do not use the eyesight by light so scant that it re quires an effort to discriminate. Na tional Educator. Styles In Alaska. It is strange how soon one becomes accustomed to and adopts the cus toms of the country in which one so journs. AH our party have gradually come to wear native clothing, more or less. Sealskin boots (hair seal not the fur seal), either with the hair on or off the uppers and legs, as maybe de sired, with walrus skin soles, worn with an insole of dry grass, were the first articles of apparel adopted. They are the most comfortable I have ever worn. They are also the most clumsy looking. But one soon forgets about the ap pearance, and a person with a pair of American made leather boots or shoes looks as much out of place as an Eskimo would on the streets of Portland with his parka (coat), hood and boots on. It is too warm for us to endure the fur coats made of reindeer, seal, squirrel, minkskins, etc., but most of the party are provided with them. The hoods are usually attached to the coat and are thrown back in warm weather, leaving the head ex posed. The winter boots are made of rein deer and other warm skins, with the fur on, but are not worn in wet weather. The hair of the reindeer is as soft as beaver, and a coat of its material will keep out the cold more effectually than 10 times its weight in woolens. In fact, as I am told by residents, one cannot wear enough woolens to keep warm in winter, the weight be ing too great. Furs are also a neces sity for bedding. Cor. Portland Ore gonian. The Habit of Mlsrratlng. The best authorities state that the habit of migrating is due to the fact that at the time of the great climatic change whereby the northern portion of the globe became the frigid place it is now the birds inhabiting the ex treme north were forced southward, and, further, that in the change of seasons, wnen in summer tne norm furnishes them the conditions of life they have gradually formed, the habit of resorting thither. This ex planation sounds plausible, but there are some questions which it fails to answer. For instance, how do the birds forecast a change of season so that their flight southward is begun in time to escape the storms of winter? And by what messenger are they informed in the spring that the time has come when they can with safety return to their northern breed ing places? The latter question receives a hy pothetical answer in the assertion that, as most migratory birds breed in the northern limit of their flight, it is the sexual instinct which sends them north and the statement is supported by the fact that the male birds of some species usually precede the females and as the sexual in stinct is .always stronger in the male there Beems some reason in this the ory. But not all birds are migratory. v Mrs. J. B. Southworth in Albany Journal. ' The Bravery of Women. Whether they are recognized as more than a passive force, women have played an active part in his tory and have shown resource in emergency, presence of mind in peril, and invincible determination in the face of seemingly hopeless ob stacles. They have not degenerated. On the contrary, with the opportunity of the present, its broad training, its liberal education, they are more ready now for active duty than ever they were. ' Never before nas tne state had m reserve such a force of intelligent, steady nerved, well disciplined wom en.

Unfolding from ber Bplcy breast A subtle fragrance on the air; A pink flush where ber sweets repose. And alow unveil In modest bliss. Wooed by the sun's warm, loving kiss. Tlsnot the child, though dimpled fair. Nor yet the woman's thoughtful face That wins most hearts. Tie that sweet flush On girlhood's cheek like sunset'B blush; The bloom of heaven that lingers there. And crowns her with angelic grace. Her clear, pure eyea behold afar The glory of Hope's gate ajar. God grant this perfect opening flower Hay blossom full without a blight; May wear her crown of womanhood As something noble, grand and good: May spend her strength in righteous power. With heartstrings ever tuned aright. Then shall God's presence, like a dove, O'ershadow her with wings of love. Rose Thorpe in Ladies' Home Journal. Wonderful Work of K art h worm a. Darwin, the great naturalist, gave it as his opinion that earthworms annually bring to the surface not less than 10 tons of dirt to every acre the earth over. This they do through swallowing earth for the sake of the vegetable matter it may contain, the rejected "casting" being the portion brought to the surface, because it is rendered unfit for further use by the action of the worm's digestive fluids. Thus it will be seen that earthworms are the farmer's best friends, aiding in agricultural work by rendering the surface porous. Their work of con stant perforating makes the soil highly pervious to rains, the tender stalks of plants, etc. They also cover up decaying vegetable matter that may be lying upon the surface and perform other services that are as yet unexplainable. The earth without worms would be like dough without yeast, cold, hard bound and void of fermenta tion, and consequently ttcrile. This has been the case in many instances where the earthworms have been accidentlyor intentionally destroyed. In all such cases the lost fertility of the soil has been again restored as soon as the worms resumed their work of fertilization. St. Louis Re public. A Horse That Reasoned. One very dark night a doctor was driving along at a fast trot on a level road, when he heard a wagon ap proaching at a rapid pace from the opposite direction. He could nothing, but as his lights were burn ing brightly and the highway was a broad one he was not alarmed. Sud denly, however, his horse made a violent jump to the left and crossed the road just in time to let the ap proaching team, driven, as it ap peared, by a drunken man, dash by in the track which the doctor's buggy had that instant left The intelligent creature had waited till the last minute, thinking that the vehicle would keep to the right, and then, when she knew a collision to be inevitable, had sprung out of the path of danger.

Going in to dinner the host leads the way with the lady he desires most to distinguish, and the hostess with the gentleman whom she intends seating at her right hand.
