The New Tariff BUI.
Washington, Nov. 10 It is difficult
to predict tbe eflVct that the recerjt elec
tions will hare on the tariff bill now
being formulated by the Democratic ma
jority ol the ways and means committee
Chairman Wilson declared the passage
iof the very measure now under consider
ation to be the only tbiog needful lo res
tore public confidence and replace the
Democratic party on the pedestal of pol
nical supremacy, but many promintnt
men in the party do not agree with him,
and these will counsel moderation in tbe
tariff tevision. The moderate tatifl men
n the Democratic party were pretty ef
fectually sileoced by the overwhelming
Democratic majorities ot a year ago, but
now, that popular expression Bcmi to
have changed, they have taken heart and
propose to be beard in council. The
proposition to put wool, lumber, iron.
ore, coal and salt on the free list will be
opposed in tome quarters, and by strorg
men. There seems to be a fjronintr ie-
s re on the part ot th- se men lor a caucus
course to pursue before the nil! is repor
:ed 10 cougress f-.ven B- eminent a lead

credited with a determination to fight
the bill il it places the articles men
tioned on the free list. The lommi'tre
is making satisfactory progress, and ex
pects to have the bill ready to report,
when coDgres meets.

add that over an area of 20 to 30 rai'es
there was no ice. and that they could

Fram had gone through the otherwise
geueraily ice-choked Kr sea in a few
days after leaving Jugor s'rait. In all
their experience these hiib latitudes
have never been so free of ice. A letter
from Nanscn adds tbat tbu winds from

objection to tbe quality of the fruit; it is as

Chas. Prindle of Fossil has been riding

frequently seen by the vaquerors, including
Charlie himself, while riding, until that
date. Since then, although the boys Lave
ridden the range closely three times, only
four of the steers bave been found, and
tbesa Mr. Prindle bas taken us. Strange
as it may seem, eight head of big steers
have suddenly and mysteriously disap
peared from the range.

Corvallis Timer. There is a powibilty ii
not a probability that the $18,000 of agri
cultural college funds on deposit in the Job
bank at the time of the suspension will be
wholly lost. It will be remembered tbat
shortly after tbe bank passed into tbe hands
of a receiver that in order to secure tbe col
lege claim, an attachment was placed on
the property by Treasurer Shipley. It now
develops that the attachment was irregu
larly issued. Having neglected the oppor-
tunity for making proof claim before the
assignee, the date for which expired Oc
tober 3d, if the technicality in the issu
ance of the attachment is held to be valid,
the college will be without any daim what
ever to the funds on deposit when the bank
suspended. The exact amount of these
funds is $17,664.74 and by so much the re
maining creditors will be tbe gainer.
An exchange aavs: "The value, in dol
lars and cents, of an ordinary man is well
worth considering. An exhibit at the
National Museum shows tbe chemical ingre
dients which go to make up the average'
man weighing 150 pounds. Not counting
other ingredient) in his flesh, blood and
bones, there are three pounds and thirteen
ounces of calcium. Calcium, at present
market rates, is worth $300 an ounce, to
that the amount of it contained iu one
human body bas a money value of $18,300.
Fe of our fellow citizens realize that they
are worth so much intrinsically. Here is a
chance for speculation on the part of some
enterprising scientist who may discover the
means of retaioing the valuable ingredient
at or before the death of deceased relatives
or friends. .The death of a dear friend or
relative would be quite a fortune and ayoid
the expense of life insurance."
W. W. Statesman: A dispatch from Gen-
Idaho, dated the 9th lust., states
that great excitement was caused in tbat
town on Tuesday night over an attempt
made to rape Mrs. Peterson, living on the
outskirts of town. Two masked men rapped
at her home, and wh-n the door was opened
by M s Peterson one grabbed her by the

ance and screams of three small children,
threw her to the floor aud choked and beat
her fiendishly, and would have accom
plished their purpose, but that a lamp wu,4
overturned and exploded, which set lira to
the bedding and whicb compelled the sec
ond villian to extinguish the flame so lie
was - not able to assist. Tbe brutes were
finally scared away by the approach of
neighbors. One man bas been arrested on
suspicion. Mrs. Peterson is badly bruised
and scared by the attack .
The Dunsmnir News tells the following
ab ut our owu Joaquin: "If the eon-mit-

was built and occupied by Joaquin Miller
in the earlv '50's near this place. Tho cabin
stands there now in about as good condition
as when it-sheltered the famous poet of the
Surras. Tbe walls have been pierced in
aevrnl places by bullets, and sum broken
off anow-heails are still imbedded in the
logs. Joaquin stood off about a hundred
Indian warriors one winter's day, who were

A party of four men earns down from ,
Pendteton on tha "blind baggage" of the
Union Paoibo train this raorniog, Tbey
had been at work in Umatilla county, and
were noable to receive their pay. This
forced them to take advantage of any op
portunity tbat afforded for a free ride.
When the train arrived in this eity. they
"skipped" so as not to be seen by the con
ductor, and when it started one of them 10
attempting to jump on missed his footing
and fell from the railroad bridge to the
ground, a distance of several feet. He was
unconscious for ao hour afterward, bat
fioallv rallied and came up town. His
head is somewhat bruised, and he may
haye suffered internal injuries. He is a
voung man of about 25 years old, and from
his appearance one is inclined to believe
his story.
This vigorous "kick" comes from the
Hood River Glacier: "The county court
Is in session, and we humbly suggest that
it take a new departure, and when it
whacks a man's tax op to double what it
was fixed upon by the assessor, that it
notify the party and give him a chance.
The taxes of Wasco county are now little
short of robbery, and if there is not a
change soon they 4vill amount to confisca
tion. So wben a fellow gives in his prop
erty for all it is worth, and has it raised
to double what It will sell for and then
taxed 85 mills on tbe dollar, and all this
without being aware of the fact that his
assessment has been changed, it is pretty
tough. We know one place here that last
year was assessed at $1400, and was sold
soon after for $-"50."
East Oregontan: How a 500 pound iron
wheel ooald fall upon a three-year-old boy
and not in a serious way injure him, was a
question frequently asked Monday after
noon. An iron engine wheel about four
feet in diameter aod weighing nearly 600
pounds was standing on the sidewalk in
front of Neagle Brother's blacksmith shop
on Walter street, when a 3-year-old son ot
Walter Wells came along and grasped it.
The tire was qnite narrow aod the boy suc
ceeded in causing the wheel to fall to tba
sidewalk and en himself. The wheel was
so large and heavv and the boy so small
that the rim of the tire was driven into tba
sidewalk. When the ponderous wheel was
lifted from the boy's form, be was fouod to
be uninjured except tbat there was a slight
bruise en the oeek.
