spring. -.
The young men have formed a new danc
- ng club and will give a series of dances on
' Friday evenings in the Chrysanthemum

. and each one of these brought their pho
tographs with him.
Last evening at the regular meeting ol
Mt Hood ctiinp, Woodmen of the World,
there were eight initialed inlo the order,
and thirteen applicants. This society i
increasing in numbers very much during
; the last few months.
The stockyards of R. E. Saltmarshe &
Co., in this city, have done a good busi
ness in the last few weeks in shipping
- hogs to Portland. These came from ibis
county and Klickitat on the Washington
tide of the Columbia.
The East End Hose Co., at a meeting
held a few evenings since voted to hold a
ball on the 14th of next, month St. Val
entine's day. This company is well or
ganized,and is a great protection to prop
erty, in case of fire in that portion of the
: city. . ; . '
Leon Rondean, of Kingsley, is in the
city to-day on his return from Portland,
where he bad been to dispose of a carload ci
hogs, upon which he realized 4 J cents a
pound. - Tbia be considers a good price,
considering the general dullness in all liner
of business iu the metropolis. . ,
We are informed that a whis t club hut
been furmed at Dufur, under the manage
ment of Mr. M. J. Anderson. The uiem-
- bers are attaining a high degreee of pro
ficiency, and several who, a few week
ago, could hardly tell one card from an
other, can play a good game now.
The Salem Statesman says that the
state's tax levy for this year will probably
be b mills. Last" year it was 6 23-25
mills, together with a special tax of 1-7 ti
a mill for the support of the state nniver
: sity and 1-5 of a mill tor the support ol
the Oregon national guard.
Last Wednesday night, says the Salem
Journal, two boys, fatsy Moouey and one
named Davey, made their escape Iroiii
the reform school. They are :uout 17
years old, and made their escape through
a window into the new wing. Assistant
Superintendent Bryant is in pursuit, and
last evening had. them surrounded iu
. water waist deep, at Boone's ferry, about
40 miles down the river. -The
Astoria Budget says: A gentleman
from Portland stated to a Budget reporiei
the other day, that there is liable to be
trouble up there at any time. He say.
that the ieeling there against the Portland
Savings bank crowd is something terri
ble. They are rich .men, and many a de
positor m the defunct bank are now with
out a mouthful to eat. The Budget be
lieves that they should be comoelled to
settle as loag,as either of the stockholders
' has a cent.
Newspaper editors and printers are not
such a bad lot after nil. . Kead what a
valuable exchange says: "Of the 3891'
convicts in the slate penitentiary ol
Texas, there is uot a printer or a news
paper man, white there are bankers, dec
v tors, photographers, ministers, barkeepers,
cooks, bnrbers and members of all otbei
callings and professions. The cog-wheel
of justice must have slipped somewhere.'
The New Year's edition of, the Salem
Statesman has been received. It consist:
. of 24 pages, and contains a very elaborate
description ol the capital city and viein
ity. rom its columns the fact is gleaned
that, notwithstanding the hard times ex
pel ieuced during -the past )er, Ualcui
has forged right ahead, increasing in
wealth of new buildings and of the de
velopment of natural resources. Such i
number is not enly indicative of the
pluca. and energy of the publishers, but
of the enterprise of the community from
which it derives its support.

taxpayer. The times are too brisk, (?) you
know the good old Jefferson times of sim
plicity (and poverty )
Mrs. Luther White, a pioneer of 1847,
died of la grippe at Brownsville on January
4, at the age of 72 years. Mrs. Sarah J.
Sawyer died at the same place, on the same
day, from the same cause. She was 64
years of age and has been a resident of Ore
gon since 1877.
Officers of the reform school at Salem
1 captured the two runaway boys, who had
bee a at large several days, and returned
with them Monday night The 'a 1s pos
sessed pluck and e idurance, and gave their
cup tors a merrv chase thro gh the woods ol
Oregon. They were finally captured in
Portland by members of the police force,
aud given op to the olfioerj.
Down in Benton county ttie clerk com
plains that the hard times of 1893 affected
even the marriage license business and onlv
53 licenses were ieued iu 1S93 as against 9S
i 1S92 Here in Jackson county, says the
Acbland Tidings, the license business
pretty good with the c uoty clerk in 1S93.
Our young people evidently take anothtr
view of hard turns, aud double up as a mat
ter of economy.
Mr. Chauibefiain, deputy collector of in
ternal revenue, has received 84 applications
for registration of Chinamen' in this city np
to noon to day and will le.veto night for
Heppber, and from there will go to Arling
ton, where he expects to be Friday or Sat
urday. From there he will go to Grants,
and will return here for a short stop on
Monday or Tuesday next.
J. E. McCoy, a Salem contractor, re
turned Monday from Oregon Pacific head
quarters, savs the Journal. He had been
(here to loo after some claims for his
mends. "I could have bought the whole
thing if I'd a wanted to," said Mr. McCoy.
Being asked why he did not acquire a prop
erty that cost eleven million, ha said he
would have done to but the property would
not earn money enough to sand the rails
and he did not want it.
There is to be a. windmill pump pat into
rhe Colfax artesian well. The contractor
has got water at 1000 feet depth, but there
is no ovetflow. The wind mill pump it is
bought, will be feb!o to supply all needs.
It should be one satisfaction to the well
Jiggers of the Inland Empire to know that
it they get a good ne it :s likely to' last
forever. The oldest artesian well iu Eur
( e is found at Lillers, France.- From iu
mouth water has flowed uninterruptedly tor
746 years.
Bilker Uity JJemocrat: Ihe tall ot snow
during the pa t twenty-four hours has been
general over Eastern Oregon and especially
las the depth been great and drifting un
usual at points west of Baker City, across
he line in Union county, Pyles' canyon
be meat treacherous placealong the entire
route of the Union Pacific system. At last
iccotints last night a freight train preceding
he morning passenger was snowed in and
lothing definite was given out when the
;rain from the west would arrive here.
George H. Smith shot and almost in
stantly killed Charles Long at Palmer
ske, eight miles from Loomis, Saturday
ight. Smith, who is a Kittitas cattle
nan, had trou le with Long over a ranch,
nd at night the Utter called at the Smith
-am'n and, asking Smith out, announced his
utention of ' killing hitr. Smith alien
lulled a gun aud fired. The two men
: appled and Smith- hit Long on the head
vith the bntt of a gun, and then shot him
mith then went to Conconully and gave
Himself up to the authorities.
A telegram was yesterday received bv
Dr. T. N Snow, of thiscitv. says the Baker
City Democrat, informing him that his son,
Charles, who is attending a medical collrge
it Umaha, had shot a man, JNo particnlars
were given further than the wound had not
vet proved fatal. This is a' sad blow to the
voung man's parents, who are prostrated
vith grief.. Charley comes from. one of the
'et and most highly respected families in
Baker City.
Democratic) Clubs Convention.
The committee of credentials reported
at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the
convention proceeded to business.' As
the matter of permanent organization
was the first consideration before the con
vention this was done by the election of
Hon. S. B. Huston, of Uillsboro, perma
nent chairman and It. L. Hay den, per
manent secretary.
A committee of five was appointed on
resolutions, consisting of J B Mullay, H
P McGuire, P Powers, A S Benuett and S
K Blythe.
The meeting then adjourned until half
past 1 in the evening, after adopting an
order of business.
At the evening session the first on the
order of business was the election of a
president of the Democratic clubs of Or
egon, and hear the fun began. The Jefi
ersomaus and Young Men's Democratic
clubs of Oregon nominated Hon. J. J.
Kelly, and the Tammany association
named Hon. George Is. Chamberlain.
This was the gauge of battle, and it was
eagerly seized by the opposing faction.
We have never seen such an apt illustra
tion of "confusion worst confounded" as
at this juncture of the proceedings. The
permanent chairman, Mr. S. B. Huston, of
Hillsboro, had a most difficult position to
fill, and it is to bis credit to state that he
kept his head and managed affairs coolly.
To the spectators it was a free show, and
they eujoyea it veiy much. Hot and an
gry words were passed by the supporters
ot each candidate, and at one time it
seemed probable that the meeting would
adjourn after the Donneybrook fair style.
A dozen at a time jumped up and called
for the recognition ot the -chairman, and
the speeches in fact, senseless explosion
of language were amusing but not en
tertaining. If ideas were expressed tbey
were clothed in words that completely
covered their meaning, and passions were
torn to tatters and the actions of the
members in their wild excitement re'
minded one of bedlam. It was a show,
circus and several minstrel entertain
ments thrown in. The boys enjoyed
themselves very much, and the cat-calls,
stamping of feet and whistling reminded
one of what pandemonium should be.
There were speeches that consisted of
words without ideas, empty sounds that
did not have the least affinity with sense
of their management. And in this connect
tion we approve of the act ef the last leg
islature providing for a soldiera' home in
Southern Oregon and an insane asylum in
Eastern Oregon; and,
Resolved, further, that the building of
these institutions and the erection of the
jute mills at Salem will provide much
needed work for the unemployed in our
state; that we iavor the speedy construe
tion of the earn?. And fiually we reoom-
mend that the executive committee be in
structed and empowered to appoint an or
ganizer of clubs in every county in the
state.
Afcer tendering a vote of thanks to the
local club tor courtesies shown, the con
vention adjourned sine die.
Snow-Bound.
East Oreaonian: A biz train, a furious
southwest gale, a number of deep cut.', an I
something like 4,000,000 wngou loads ot
-now were a combination which knocked
out the Union Pacij pnsienger train, No.
1, Portland-bound, Tuesday night. Inquiry
at the depot during the evening discovered
the train was about four hours iate. Later
it was six hours late. Liter it was twelve
hours late. And in fact it was late all
around. The train up from Portland was
held to day in the hope that some more sure
prospect of getting through would op.'n up.
The deep cuts near North Powder were
loaded to the gunwale with hard packed
snow. As fast as the crew threw it out the
wind blew it in and for a I these hours no
progress was midu. A snow plow came to
the rescue and the iuo bileigured tram is
coming slnwlv along in the hopes ef some
time reaching Pendleton. Several feet ot
snow in the mountains at the a i minit are
yet before it. At 3:30 this afternoon the
east-bound train pulled out.
The Battle Ground.
The fizht between the'seventeen Demo
cratic clubs in Multnomah county took a
turn something after the scrap between
Mitchell and Corbett, who finally selected
Florida as their battle ground, there to
have it out and leave all the odium of
.their meeting upon the heads of the peo
ple of that state. The Democratic clubs
of this state came- to The Dalles unsolic '
ited. They had their fight, and finally
departed. Only because of the better
counsels of Hon. A. S. Bennett and J. H

jail, one held for murder, and the others to.
petty larceny and larceny in a dwelling.
The Ashland Tidings is now issued semi
weekly. We exieLd to our cotempcrarj
congratulations on this evidence of pros
perity. R. E. Saltmarshe & Co. shipped from
their stockyards last night a carload bi
hogs to Portland, and will ship another one,
to nigi.e.
Work still continues on the improvement
of Second streut, and it is expected, whti.
this highway is completed others will be
covered with crashed reck.
We have received a neat calendar, with f
good supply of blotters, from J. M. Hunt

In the past few days there have bee
sleighing in the Willamette valley and r i
the Sound; but at The Datleatbe wiathet
has been most delightful and as enjoyabt,
as spring.
Tbere is a baud of bogs at the stockyard
of R E Saltmarshe & Co. belonging to tnt
Columbia Packing Co. They are in excel
lent condition, and are fiom Klickitat

In police matters the city has been ver
quiet, and no arrests have been made for a
tew days past. No hoboes have ben found
on tbe streets, aud the citizens bave rested
in peace and quietness.
A man by the name of 8. P. Bur w

meeting. Topic "A Prayer of Daniel; a
Confession." Dan. ix:3-19. All persons not
attending elsewhere are cordially invited
Persona frcra the country say tbe roadi
are in a terrible condition, and in places al
most impassible. More rain has fal'en thi
year than for many yeara previously, ami
the ground is thorougnly moistened. With
the usual spring rains there will be no fail
ure of crops by reason of drouth, and snow
is not needed to insure the growth of cer
eals. The member of tbe East End HoceCo.
are making extensive preparations for the
ball tbey propose giving on Feb 14th. It
will be held in Wingate'a hall, and wi'l be
one of the most pleasant events of the rea
son. The rock-crusher still continues chewing
np the b'uff in Union stieet. When it can
find no more feed in this place it may be
turned loose in Court street, where there is
enough stone to keep its jaws at work for a
long time.
A journal in rival town on Paget
Sound thus refers to Everett, Wash.: "The
home of the whileback, the mosshack and
tbe greyback; followed by a slideback
which is such a set back that nobody ever
expects to ge their money back."
The Baker City Democrat, in speaking of
tbe heavy snow in tbe Blue mountains, says
it was general over Easttrn Oregon. The
Dalles should be excepted from tb6se re
marks, for there has not been enough snow
since Nov. 22, 1893, to cover the ground in
this vicinity.
Many of the farmers in tbe county are
feeding their damaged whrat to hogs, and
this gives them better return than if it bad
been sold at ruling rates. More attention
will be given to hog-raising in the future
and there will not be as much dependence
placed npon wncat and grain harvests. -. - .
The tax receipts this year are as extensive
as a Chinese puzzle, the result of the pres
ent revenue law. mere is Doming puzzling
Contrary to expectations the Chinamen
re not registering in Salem, in fact say they
won't. First, they are afraid of highhind--ts.
then tbey hare not been ordered to
torn headquarter, and they can't afford to
'uy theMctnres required. Only nineteen
have registeied in Portland The same re
ult occurs in Albany. They will not regis
er, unless .instructions are .received from
he b.x companies to do so. An effort has
een made to make the Celestials believe
theis irfere registering; but th y are not so
easily fooled.
The Rosalia Rustier furnishes an interest
'ng contribution to the old marriage ex
libit. It says that A. J. Gregg, or Father
Gregg, as he is familiarly known, of Rosa-
ia, wai born June 30, 1811, and Mrs.
Gregg May 8, 1S13. They were united in
marriage Jnne 22, 1828. He was a boy of
not quite 17 years, and only 15 summers
had passed over her head at the time, but
or almost 66 years they have traveled the
rugged path of life, hand in hand, heart and
heart. Few couples have clung together
o well or lived as happy, peaceful liyes as
hey. They are still living in Rosalia, and
ire one cf the most prominent and beloved
couples in the community.
The Coryollis Gazette talks in this manner
carding Albany: "God bless the man
who first invented sleep," so Don Sancho
.inzt said and so says Albany. They had
quite a fire down there the other nicht,
ut seet-ed unaware i f its existence. Offi
cer McLagan, as usual at his post of duty,
tnticed. the light and suggested to Carl
Hoiles, at the telephone exchange t hi t a
ire was raging in Albany, who in turn not
fied them that the fawn was burn ng.
Had an Oregon Pacific tram been handy.
he Coryalhs file department would have
tiken their apparatus down and cut it on
and thus avoided awakening tbe- t red
people of that sleepy town.
A dispatch from Colfax, dated the 9th
inst., says: "Late this afternoon ihe $1000
which it was supposed Rursell had taken,
was found on the bank conn tor in a package
addressed to a correspondent of the bank.
Russell is now reported out of danger. His
friends state that he has done nothing !
wrong. They make the explanation t at
he owed the bank about $8030 on notes.
Being oalled upon to make up that snm im
mediately or lo-e bis position and stand
-lUir, he became despondmt and attempted
his life. The warrant originally issued for
his arrest here has been withdrawn, al
hough the suits and attachments hold
Ruseoll is in a kind of stupor, and ha can
not explain things clearly."
From Friday's Daily.
Mr. Ed. M. Wiugate, a leading merchant
of Antelope, is in the citv.
Revival meetings are being held at Morn,

The East Oregonian reports an accident
to tbe Union Pacific in the Blue mountains
Wednesday night, in which the Denver
sleeper was detached from the train and tbe
coach burned. Before the accident was dis
covered the train had left the burning
coach, which had rolled down an embank
ment, some distauce in the rear, and the
Pullman conductor rescued tbe eight pass
engers from w hit threatened to be a holo
caust by presence of mind and active efforts.
In a circular from Prof. E B Elroy to
to Rev. Troy Shelly, the school superinten
dent of . this county, occurs this paragraph,
which is ot especial importance: "Ail
school districts in your county desiring to
levy a tax forany and all school purposes
whatever, must do so between this and tbe
first day of February, or, otherwise they
will be compelled to wait another year."
This is a matter of great interest to the di
tricta in this county, and should receive
immediate attentioa. -
Pendleton Tribune: . The Union Pacific
trains are having a hard time these days for
100 miles or so east of Pendleton. There
are nine or ten landslides between here and
La Grande, while snow in large drifts both
ered the engineers in a number of places.
No. 1 west, doe here at 9:40 A. M , did not
arrive until 8 t. M. N- 2 east arrived yes
terday morniug on time, but remained nnti)
3 o'clock in the afternoon, waiting for the
track to be cleared. All the section men
bave been mobilize i on the mountain di
vision, and railroaders are in hopes that the
worst is over. The snow can be easily
ikam hnvAver. save the knowledge I e oime
of where the money will come from to c.u l wpHt- the situation.
Cradlnlianirh were thv nrevented from

Motions to adjsurn sine die, to January 8,
1895,until to-morrow morning were mado,
and each one voted down. Tbe Republi
cans in the audience could not but coolly
cogitate npon the performance, and come
to the conclusion that the atliurs of the
nation would.be safer in the hands of any
mob than in the keeping of these Demo
cratic clubs.
Judge Bennett, Hon. J. H. Cradlebaugb.
and a few others kept their heads, and
this was tbe only reason that anything
like order was brought out of this wild
confusion. The former gentleman was
nominated for president; but very sensi
bly declined.
la the chaos of motions, after the nom
inations of Kelly and Chamberlain had
been withdrawn, Mr. Huston was' named
for president and elected by accla
mation. Mr- George Herbert was thun
elected vice president. Then came a
Democratic love-feast. Pat Powers buried
the hatchet against Kelly, and said be
was a better Democrat than ever before.
Edward L. Gates was elected secretary,
and P. Powers, treasurer.
- An executive committee of fifteen was
elected.
Before adjournment the following reso
lutions were adopted as th$- platform
upon which the Democracy of Oregon
Stood:
Whereas, There has been a studied at
tempt ou tha part of the Republican pres
aud party leaders to falsely represeut that
the present financial J depression is owing to
the Democratic control of the national administration,-and
Whereae, We fullyfbelieve that said
financial crisis is the natural result of a long
system of Republican misrule, where the
many - have been taxed for the benefit of
tbe few, and the weath ot the country
taken from the masses for tbe few, by the
unjust and uoiquitous tariff system; now,
therefore be it
Resolved, That in tbe opinion of this asso
ciation a restoration of the country can only
be secured by tbe modification or repeal ot
the tiriff . Bysteai which has been brought
about by our present condition, and es
pecially the obnoxious McKinley tariff, and
the enactment in the pjace thereof of sucsV
laws as shall tend to a more equal distribu
tion of tbe wealth of the country, Jand the
restoration to the masses of tbe common
people of a, just proportion thereof; and be
it
Resolved farther. That in this convention
we heartily approve of the proposed enact
ment of congress of a law providing for a
saving ot a portion of the revenue of the
country by a tax upon tbe incomes of the
weathy and opulent.
Resolved, That we, the repretentatiyes of
the state association of Democratic clubs in
convention assembled do reaffirm our al
legiance to the puociples of the party as
formulated by Jeffersoa and exemplified, by
the long and illustrious line of his success
ors in Democratic leadership from Madison
to Cleveland.
Resolved, That we warn the people ot our
common country, jealous for the preserva
tion of their free institutions, tint the pol
icy of federal control of elections, to which
the Republican party has committed itself,
is fraught with the greatest dangers,
scarcely less momentous than would result
from a revolution, practically establishing
monarchy on the ruins of therepublic .
Resolved, That the present time is ripe
for perfecting the organization of tbe Dem
ocratic party of the state of Oregon, and in
so doing to embrace within its folds all
who will join it in the patriotic effort to re
dress the many abases of the party in power
in this state by repealing laws that are un
just and oppressive, and substituting in
their places others making the taxes lighter,
and giving laws that will check the cen
tralization of power in the interest of cor
porations and will bringthe capitalist and
wage-earner stability anl permanency that
will secure productive investment to the
first and constant eniployement to the
latter. - - , r ' '.
Resolved, That we denounce that attempt
of the Republican majority Of the last leg
islature of Oregon to destroy the Austra
lian ballot law, and we coalmen 1 the pat
riotic course of Hon. C. H. Woodard, the
Republican senator who has dared to vo'e
against the decree of tha Republican caucus
uu this question.
Resolved, That we recommend to the con
sideration of tha voters of Oi'egon tbe ays
tern of legislation known as the initiative
and referendum.
Resolved, That we favor the passage ot a
I iw providing that non-residents shall not
serve aa peace officers in the settlement of
labor disputes, and that tbe Pinkerton and
other private police shall be prohibited.
Resolved, That we condemn as unpatriotic
and un- American, any organizitioo, secret
or otherwise, which seeks to apply a relig
ious test as a qualification for holding
office.
Resolved, That we approve of the system
of distributing such of tbe public institu
tions of the state among different sections
thereof, so far as the same can be done,
without impairing the efficiency or economy
that finally restored order.and thus Wasco
county was in a measure excused from
responsibility tor the muss. This morn
ing a delegation of ten members from the
convention called upon Judge Bennett to
thank bun for bis kind e-fflces, and say to
him, that in future should tbe Democratic
clubs of Oregon ever find occasion to do
so, they -voulJ reciprocate the favor with
interest. - '
x A Hotable Prisoner.
Oregon JJemocia.
Ellas Downs finished serving a sentence
of one year in the Oregon penitentiary a
day or two ago. He waa sentenced from
Umatilla county on conviction of obtain
ing money by false pretense in Pendleton.
It seems bo was agent for renting a house
and it was charged that he rented it to
two different parties for the same month,
collecting the month's rental fee from
each of them. JTbe turn collected was
only $15. But the old gentleman was
convicted and sent to prison.
He bad not been in tbe penitentiary
long . before he was made a trusty by
Superintendent Downing. His conduct
was so commendable that bis term of
service was considerably shortened by
credit marks. Now there is a move on
foot to have a pardon issued to restore
tbe old man to citizenship.
Mr. Downs is an old newspaper man.
He worked for years on the Boise Stales
man and Walla Walla Staeetman; Super
intendent Downing says he ought never
to baye been sent to the penitentiary.

flHHUBL DISTRIBUTION OF SURPLUS VS. TONTINE OH LONG "TEBjH DISTRIBUTION."
Annual Distribution Shows Decidedly Best Results.
SOME STRIKING!- COMPARISON S, showing that the MUTUAL BENEFIT, the leading Annual
Distribution Company, saved more of its interest receipts above expenses in 1892 than the Four leading Tontine Com
panies combined; that over (16,000,000 would have been saved by the Four leading Tontine Companies in
1892, and over 1 20,000,000 would have been saved by the two Original Tontine Companies since
organization, for policy holders, had their management been as favorable as the
MUTUAL UKISlFim
Tontine Funds Jeopardized as a General Surplus Available For Expenses.
Tontine " is a system of forfeiture nnder which a liability is convertible into a delusive "surplus," as under the Tontine
system the LIABILITY (for deferred or confiscated dividends withheld in pool ostensibty (or the benefit oi persistent sur
.. vivors) is not only IGNORED; but this Tontine Fund is included in and unjustly jeopardized with the general
surplus, and is also available for expenses. The enormous expenses of the Tontine companies as shown .
below, and the great disappointment experienced with the results of the first drawing
of the Tontine lottery, prove not only this, but also that "Tontine is
more available to excite hopes pf legitimate gains
than it is to fulfill them."

. But the Tontine Companies claim that, as by their plans they withhold moneys for many years which the MUTUAL

is, with the amounts ''put by" during the year for the future benefit of their policy holders. The following table compares the stand
