science, my own taste and my own sense of

best judgment." If Hon. A. M. Cannon

ing tbat assumed various shspes in the brisk
wind tbat was blowing at daylight. Some
thought it looked like volcanic smoke and
that the old. volcano must have resumed ae

and it is probable that it was only s nimbus
er cirrous cloud bsnging ovsr the mountain
summit.

This is the Christian way in which Rev,
F. VY. I). Mays, of the Pomeroy Independ
ent, speaks of President Dole, of the (sand
wich islands: "If anyone can read Dole's
reply to the president and not conclude
that he is a boodler snd a usurper and
negro throne stealer, we miss our idea of
what a gentleman and statesman sboulJ be.
He seems to have great confidence ia the
fact that be can depend on a Republican
administration to become a pirate and help
him to steal the islands of the sea where
God did the Kaoska cannibal plant as a
punishment for the sins ot tbat people.

gest was done to alleviate tbe suffering of

The Midwinter lair of Oregon.
In connection with the midwinter fair in
San Francisco it is proposed to erect a suit
able building on tbe grounds to bs known
as the Oregon building. The exhibits of
the state are to be made in tbis building;
and, by a special order made by the board
of managers of the midwinter fair, all ex
hibits made ia the "Oregon Building",
shall be entitled to all rights of competition
fer premiums, tbe same exsctly as in tbe
"General Building" of the fair. The man
agement of tbis exhibit will be virtually
under charge of the aame gentlemen who so
ably represented our stste at the World's
Columbian exposition, and the successful
results of their labor in Chicago are well
known. In order to raise funds tor this
work the committee have incorporated un
der a canjtal stock of $20.00, at $1 per
share. The fair ci m nisiioners have aayed
twenty thousand dollars of tbe amount ap
propriated by the legislature for tbe
World's Columbian exposition1, acd it is
proposed to pay from tbis fund, to all pur
chasers of stock, the amount of stock taken
by them. It must be borne m mind, how
ever, tbat this money is the property of the
state of Oregon, and suitable legislative
ao'ioo must be taken before the money can
he so ased.
Hon. M. A. Meody hss been appointed
the member of tbe finance committee for
Tbe Dailies, and he desires to see our citi
zen purchase as msny shares of stock aa
passible. - Our people will be called upon to
at certain what they are willing te subscribe,
and wa hope to see a generous response, as
the object is a very worthy one. - The
money will be simply loaned to the state for
the purpose of making the exhibit, which
will undoabtedly be a good advertisement
of the resources ef all portions of the state.
Store Bobbed.
1 Last night there were two attempts at
robbery, one of which waa successful, and
these happened before 11 o'clock. About
10 the glass in the front door of Mr. S.
Klein's store was broken out; but the
noise attracted the attention of some per
sons in the vicinity, and the thief made
a rapid flight. Mr. Klein was informed
of the attempt on hie building, and nailed
np the dear, after carefully secreting all
valuables. Soon afterwards tbe large
glass window in the hardware establish-.
ment of Messrs. Mays & Crowe, on. Fed
eral street, was broken and five revolvers.
hanging on a little pedestal, stolen. The
building was not entered, and -it is pre
sumed (he parties reached in tbeir arms,
took the revolvers and departed. Many
believe the attempt at Mr. Klein's was
simply a ruse to attract the attention of
the policemen until the object waa ac'
compluhed in Mays Ss Crowe's building.
Tbe loss will be about $50; but if tbe
robbers had time to enter the store they
could have secured much rqore valuable
booty. There teems to he a general opin
ion that the parties who have been guilty
of tbe nefarious acts daring the last few
days are persons who are acquainted with
the city, and know where to operate. In
a few days there may be astonishing de
velopments.

Turkey.
The address of Bon. D. P. Thompson
at the court house last evening on the
subject of Turkey attracted a good audi
ence, and tbe discourse was listened to
with the closest attention. He gave his
personal experiences in the Ottoman em
pire, aud being brought in close relation
ship witb the high dignitaries of the
realm, was enabled to talk intelligently
on matters pertaining to the governmcn1
ot "that country. When he first went to
Constantinople us was received with all
the pomp and ceremonies of monarchical
courts; but afterwards, when he met the
sultan, he was as affable as any gentle
man' could be. They conversed freely
on all subjects in relation to tbe people
and the religion ; but when the condition
of the women was broached there was a
shrug of the shoulders as much as if the
sultan had said, this is not debatable. Mr.
riiompson spoke of the Turkish schools,
the plan of education, and the small ad
vancement they made towards western
civilization. There are good schools iu
Constantinople; but these are under con
trol of Christian foreigners. At 'the time
ef tbe massacre of the missionaries and
teachers by Moslems in Turkey, he was
empowered by the secretary of state to
make aa immediate demand for repara
tion from that government He presented
his instruction, and there was an imme
diate compliance on the part of the sal
tan. Mr. Thompson received decorations
of similar import to those of tbe Legion
of Honor in France and Knight of tbe
Garter in England. These will admit him
to the presence of the saltan on all occa
sions, whether in public or private life.
This gave him many opportunities of ob
serving the inner political life of the em
pire, which furnished him an insight into
many matters hidden from the public.
He was admitted te the treasure house of
the empire, to which no one is allowed
to enter except by special permission of
the sultan. Here he beheld some of the
most valuable diamonds and jewels in
the world. As Col. Sellers would say.
there were "millions in it;" but these are
carefully guarded from the least oppor
tunity ot being purloined. The Turks
he considered, tbe most religious people
on tbe globe, wherever a Moslem is,
when tbe muzzin sounds.be falls prostrate
on his face, and cannot be disturbed until
tbe prayer is finished. The next minute
he will continue his business, as though
nothing had happened.
The greatest interest was manifested
through the entire lecture, and the expe
riences of Mr. Thompson gave evidence
tbat he was one of the closest observers
of men and manners. On all subjects in

Boston, Jan. 18 S. B Davis, who
was arrested in Spokane, Wash., Tues
day, on a charge of smuggling, told tbe
arresting ofheers he had been a Boston
merchant aod was highly connected in

Philosophical Pendleton.
The chief city of Umatilla county felt
yery confident in being tbe choice for the
location of the branch asylum, and the fol
lowing from the East Oregonian shows bow
the two senators aod the citizens of Pendle
ton take the matter:
Senator W. F. Matlock I am much sur
prised. If it bad gone to tbe Kanaka
islands my surprise would not have been
greater. However, it was a fair tight and
Union won. Pendleton and other tewns
have no cause for complaint.
Then Senator James H. Ktley waa found
in his offioe sod several gentlemen had hap
pened to drop in to talk about tbe weather.
But the weather was soon forgotten, and
the telegram was looked at with wonder
and amazement. Had a message come an
nouncing war witn Jjingtanel, the company
would net have been more surprised. Sen
ater Raley said as follows:
Senator J. B. Raley You may aay that
I as much expected that asylum to go to
Echo. Uutil you showed me the telegram
I waa confident that Pendleton would be se
lected. Ia fact while there was room tor
doubt, 1 yet bad made up my mind to that.
But there ia no moro reason tor - Pendleton
to complain than for the other towns had
we secured the prize.
Bat in a few minutes the little group
took a new tack, and all said that there waa
nothing to do but to sensibly accept tbe
aituatioa. Tney united ia saying that Pen
dleton was simply one of half a dozen can
didates and sinoe the fight bad gone against
ber, she mast not mske.au ungracious show
of temper. In a short time they were chat
ting merrily about it, and all seemed re- -
lieyed that the vexed question was settled.
Charles Long Bolted.
Heppner Oaxette.
A recent issue ot the East Oregonian has
the " following news note: "George H.
Smith shot and almost instantly killed
Charles Long at Palmer lake, eight miles
from Loomis, Wash., - Saturday night.
S nith, who is a Kittitas cattle man, bad
trouble witb Long over a ranch." As Char
ley Long, once a resident of Heppner, had
written about jumping a ranch np there at
Loomis, stating tbat be expected trouble
over tbe matter, Heppner people have con
cluded tbat tbis is Cnarley Long formerly
of Hppnsr, and that he has had the trouble
anticipated and once too ofren Charles
was one of the participants in the Vaughtn-
Long fight at Pnneville some years ago, aod
though severely wounded in that conflict,
losing the use of his left arm to some ex
tent, he came out a pretty good man and
from time to time figured iu scraps here at
Heppner, but at no time nsing a gun. He
was quarrelsome when drinking, bat in later
years, at tbe advice ef friends, stopped
carrying a pistol and became a very quiet
citizen. 'About two years ago be left for
Washington, aad sinoe thst time little waa
known of bis career. He was a good-
hearted fellow and alwaya stayed by hia

Annual Distribution Shows Decidedly Best Results.
SOMJE STRIKING COMPARISONS, showing that the MUTUAL BENEFIT, the leading Annual
Distribution Company, saved more of its interest receipts above expenses in 1893 than the Four leading Tontine Com
panies combined; that over J 16,000,000 would have been saved by the Four leading Tontine Companies in
189a, and over 1 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 -
Tontine Funds Jeopardized as a General Surplus Available For Expenses.
'.Tontine "' is a system of forfeiture under which a liability is convertible into a delusive "surplus," as under the Tontine
system the LIABILITY (for deferred or confiscated dividends withheld in pool ostensibly for the benefit oi persistent snr
vivors) is not only IGNORED; but this Tontine Fund is included in and unjustly jeopardized with the general
urplus, 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 of legitimate gains
than it is to fulfill them."
The following tables, compiled from Official Reports, show the relative standing of the Mutual Benefit Life Ineur
avmee Company the leading - Aanual Distribution " Company, on one hand, and the Northwestern, the
New York Life, the Mutual Life, and the Equitable Life, the leading Tontine or ''long term distribution" companies, on the other

, But the Tontine Companies claim that, as by their plans they withhold moneys for many yeurs which the MUTUAL
BENEFIT pays out in Dividends Annually, they should be credited annually with the additions to their assets; that .
is, with the amounts "put by" during the year for the future benefit of their policy-holders. The following table compares the stand

The figures speak for themselves, as the payments and accumulations of the Tontine Companies, as well as dividends, are
proportionately Less than those oi the Mutual Benefit, and show that 116,648,086 would have been saved to the policy holders of
the four Tontine Companies in 1892, under management as favorable as the Mutual Benefit's.

The above table shows that from (150,000,000 less premiums than the New York Life, the Mutual Benefit has saved $20,000,
000 more of its interest receipts than the New York Life; thst irota $182,000,000 less premiums than the Equitable, the Mutual
Benefit has saved 33,ooo.oco more of its interest receipts than the Equitable; that from $479300,000 less premiums, the Mutual
Benefit has saved over four times as much of its interest receipts above expenses for policy holders as the New York Life and Equit
able combined, by excess of payments to members, plus assets, over premiums received; and that f 1 20,000,000 would have been
saved by the fwo companies since organization, under management as favorable ss the Mutual Benefit's management. The first
table" shows that while the Mutual Benefit saved $1,294,557 of its interest receipts above aU expenses in 1892, the total expenses of
the New York Life and Equitable exceeded their combined interest receipts by over three million dollars in 1892.
Tbe Tontine Companies, like lotteries, do not publish the moneys forfeited by members unable to pay np to the end
but the above tables exhibit the enormous amount of the loss to the losers, and show the great advantage of the Annual Distribution
of surplus, as practiced by the Mutual Benefit.
