Blooming, budding spring is waiting t
inaugurate her reign as monarch of tbe

the sceptre. Il inusftoe admitted that the
hoary locks oi the old man are becoming

The east-bound passenger train, which
passed through the city at 11 o'clock last
night, met with an accident one mile and
a half east ef Quinn's about half-past 1
this morning. At that hour the train was
proceeding at tbe usual rate ot speed
when it encountered some rails on the
track which bad been thrown out of posi
tion by a heavy bowlder falling on the
road-bed. All the coaches except two
were ditched, and the trucks badly in
jured. Fortunately there were no em
bankments at this point, ana the cars sim
ply left the rails without turning ovej.
No one was injured at last accounts, al
though there was quite a number of pss-
sengerson board. It will take some time
io replace the coaches and locomotive on
the track and repair the injury to the
rails, and until this is done ao trains can
pass eitber east or west.
A new8papci editor is bold enough to
deelare that the world needs a religion to
day that will make a man's world as good
as bis note; that will make its professor
pay 100 cents on the dollar, sell 16 ounces
to the pound, 36 inches to tbe yard, 4
pecks to tbe bushel and 128 cubic feet to
the cord : that will make a workman do a
full day's work for a full day's pay.
whether tbe eye of his employer is on
nim or not: that will make capital dis
gorge the lion's share of the profits and
divide them equally and justly with
labor; that will cause the manufacturer
to cease from adulterating his goods, the
clerk from robbing bis employer, the
official from embezzling the funds com
mitted to his trust; a religion that will
make men upright, bnnest,nure and trust
worthy in all the walks of lite; a religion
that not only makes men happy but
righteous.
The law regulating vo'iog at sohool meet
ings reads as follows: 'To all sohool dis
tricts in this state with a population of one
thousand and upwards, any citizen of tba
sate shall be entitled to vote at a school
meeting who is 21 years of age and has re
sided in the d ist not thirty days imnvili
ately preceding the meeting, and who has
property in tbe district npon which h or
he pay a tax." In addition to tbe above
the voter must possess the qualifications ot
an elector in this state.
Heppner Oazetta: At some hour Sunday
night, a burglar entered the general mer
chandise store of G V McHaley, of Ham
ilton, and obtained $12 in caah from the till
tnd ab iut $75 in clothing of all kinds. A
i aae of glaea had been taken from a rear
window through which the thief had gained
an entrance. There was no clue to the
bnrvlary until some pieces of tbe stolen
clothing had been found on the publio high
wsy east of Hamilton, snd st the hour of
going to press no developments have been
made. However, officers with a search
warrant have been diligently at work for
several days.
rossil Journal: Ihe school tax wa
voted down Monday with a vengeance 33
to II. Heretofore the vote has been clou.
hat the tax generally carried. Hard time
and disatitact:oa caused many voters to
vote against a school tax for tbe drat time
in their lives. The district owes $350,
principally for teacher's wages, and the ap
portionment of state and county funds for
1894 will be sufficient to pay this off and
have a term of three months. Another
three months might be had if the directors
can manage to repeat their action of last
fall by hiring teachers willing to wait for
tbeir money.
Albany Herald: A gentleman down from
Det'oit yesterday informed a reporter that
some of the settlers on the Upper Saotiam,
wn do net belieye in going r.uogry er al
icwng destitution to prevail wbi e game
abounds in the mountains, went hunting a
lew days ago and fonod a band of elk, out
of which they killed tou. fine fat ones. Th
meat was all carried out and divided among
ail who were short of provisions. While it
is contrary to law to kill elk, there will
hardly be any prosecution in this case, be
cause ot the actual extremity to which many
of tbe rettlers are driven for food, and the
fort hi r fact that no one could be found who
would inform on the hunters in suoh a ease
Baker City Democat: A peculiar looking
character by the name of Jsho Cooper has
beeu conspicuous on the streets of Baker
Citv since some time last fall, his eecentri
city in dre.-s and general demeanor miking
him an oddity, tie was a sheepherder by
occupation, and a good one, it is said. He
was last emploved by Bennett A Loye, on
Lower Powder river, and when he arrived
in the city last fall he deposited at one of
the banks about $500 and started in on a
gennina debauch Little by little he drew
his money from the bank until last Satur
day his last rent was gone, and he wound
up with an attack of delirium tremens.
Persons who observed his pitiable condition
helped him to a room in the St. Lawrence
and a physician was summoned to attend
him, but to no avail, and at 11:30 yester
day morning he died, and will be bariedat
the expense of the county. The deceased
was aged about 52 years and has a wile anil
several children living near St. Paul, Min
nesota; also relatives in the state of Dele
ware.

Pqrtlakd, Ore.. Feb. 8, 1894.
X liter TniasOiocirrAiHsa:
A clipping from yonr issue of February
1, 1894, has been sent me in which the fol
lowing language is used: "Mr. Jos N.
Teal is reported to bave stated that he had
lately visited Baker county, and a majority
of sheep raisers were in favor of free trade
in wool." and based en this, alleged state
ment a long editorial is written to prove
that what I was reported to have said is un
true. 1 do not desire to rash into print or
sees any kind of notoriety, political or
otherwise; but when one is quoted he
ahou'd be reoorted correctlr. I did not
make at any time or any place the state
ment abeve anated. or anything like it. I
do say now that I know sheep men and
wool men who do not believe that the tariff
affects the price of wool, except detriment'
ally, and I herewith enclose you. a clipping
I cut from tbe Suokane Chronicle as evi
dence nf tbe fact that wool men differ on
this question I believe that the majority
of sheep men favor a high tariff, bat with
oat discussing the question (as what I think
is of no moment to anyone ssve myselt) I
believe thst tbe entire theory of protection
is a fallacy. I do not believe its practical
workings are beneficial to the great mass of
people. I have seen under its blighting in
licences wool steadily drop, until to day it
is probably as low as it has been in our his
tory. I have seen Valley wheat drop from
2.15 per cental to .874 cents in 1894, occa
sioning a loss ot untold millions to the farm'
era. I see every branch of trade and in'
dastry in a state bordering on decay; men
and their families starving, yet willing to
work; the country teeming with p'enty.but
untold misery the lot of many. I have
seen American shipping almost, if not quite,
annihilated, ihe red flag of anarchy waving
in this year of grace, 1894, in the protected
state of Pennsylvania, and all of this after
thirty years of high protection.
The sheep man is no worse off than the
farmer, the farmer than the mechanic, the
mechanic than the merchant. Everything
and everybody is in the same condition, snd
will be, in my judgment, until the constant
violation of the simplest, economic truths
cease. We probably do not agree on the
cause ef the condition of affairs. I think it
time that laws be passed which have for
their object the good of the many and not
the prof t of the few, that the consumer is
a factor who should not be overlooked, for
if there is no ene to boy there will be yerv
bard times for the producer. Our laws
having overlooked this necessary factor we
have arrived at that point where the con
sumer is without means, and the producer
with a product he cannot dispose of.
Respectfully, J. N. Tsar
sought, being rioh and eapable of producing
an immense quantity of gram, vegetaoiea
and fruit. Tbe purchase price will be $25.
000 or $40 . per acre, in case this land is
bought, leaving $55 000 to be devoted to
the. buildings nnd improvements, of ths
money raised by last year's levy. We pro
pose to push thing as rapidly as we can
and the $55,000 will all be expended dari ng
the coming season."

They have been given the more satisfac

DlFUB Ore., Feb. 8,
Ealtar naBS-atoiraTAUBaa:
Tea-erday alteration juat after the arrival
of The Dalls stage from Wapiaiti, while
the patrons of the poto(Ece were gathered
ia off the street discussing the political is
sues of the day and listening to local states-
unraveling the tangled mysteries of
the tariff, a tall important looking stranger
cams sanntering down tbe street. But little
attention waa paid to the individual, and,
were it not for subsequent events, it would
hardly been noticed that hie front teeth
were peculiarly filled with gold, or that in
aize and appearances he closely answered
the description of the larger of tbe two
robber who committed the robbery on Ben
Wilson some week ago. There are some
who claim that he acted in a suspicion
manner wnen first observed on the street.
Be iMss it may, the stranger passed quietly
along to the front nf the drug store of C. P
Batch, in whene window is a dixplay of
jewelry, consisting of several watches,
chains, rings and chains, although not
soah an assortment as would seem to tempt
a daylight burglar. Tbe glittering dis
play oanght the stranger's eye, and he
topped aa though to examine. Across the
street, immediately opposite the'drug store
ia tbe shoe shop of Mr. Saodow, who was
at this moment sitting in froot of hi win
dow, repairing a pair of shoes. Mr. Balob
and bia clerk, George Dafur, were in the
drag store at tbe time aad Mr. Batch, see
ing tho strsnger examining the jewelry.
and, thinking of a prospective purchaser,
went toward the front door. A few sec
onds later tbe crowd at tbe postoffice wers
t vrtled by a sound of broken glass and a
hot, fallowed by a cry of alarm from the
shoemskrr serosa the street. Baled was
standing on the sidewalk with blood in one
eye and motioning wildly aeroaa tbe street
to the shoe shop, where a straggle Was go
n 4 on. There the glass was broken out of
the window, the store overturned and h?
brav little shoemaker sitting on the pros
trate form of th stranger. Mr. Bsloh soon
earns upon tbe scene and ia answer to tba
ijoeitions: "How mach did he gt?" "Rob
year safe?" "get any watohes?" eto. Re
plied: "Bob be d 1 de you suppose I'd
knook a" man clear through Sandow's win
dew for a simp'o attempt to rob mef Tbe
fellow did a great deal worse than tbat; he
proposed to pat mo on the date for the
sheriff nomination arun this year." Tho
airaoger was beyond recognition and r
gone. The (hot was nnaccoaated for, antes
it was the report a ho ehot across the
street. Two peculiar gold filled teeth are
amoog the jewelry display described above,
and add greatly thereto. The moral of it
all is tbat Batch is "not in the hands of . his
friend this year." KsHO.
Free Trade and Wool.
Mr. J. B. Cart wright, a son ot Hon. C.
M. Cartwright, tho manager of tbe Bald
win Sheep and Land company, is in the
city. He say the company haa about 20,
000 bead of sbeep in Crook county. Tbe
expense ef shearing and placing wool in tbe
market in Eastern Oregon will be about 3
cents a pound, he calculates, not taking in
consideration herder's wages, price of pas
turage and other expenses necessary in ear
ing for flocks. Tbs cost of the sheep, capi
tal invested, contingency of hard winters
and atorage of fleece in warehouses where
sales sre not made, must be added to this.
Taking these matters into aocoant wool can
not be placed on the market for leu thsn 7
cents a pound, and thia is net counting in
terest on investment, but simply th bare
expenses ef running sheep in Eastern Ore
gon. With theae bgnres, it i nonsense for
aay on to soatend tbat sheep men io the
I land Empire can pasture their herds,
shear thsir flocks and sell the fleeces aa
obeaply as tbs Australian or Argentine wool
grower. There is only one possible effect of
frae trsde in wool, and that is, it will dnye
all capital now invested ta tbat industry
into other lines of business. Mr. Cart-
wright says the company has made all ar
rangements for tho sheep iodustry, and if
tboy were forced to give np the business all
tbe appointments would be sold at a great
less. In the management ef their flocks
they have made careful 'estimates, and do
not theorize in their figures, but arrive at
conclusions from many years of practical
experience.

Metsehsn were in Pendleton on Friday last.
and this ia what the tint named official aaid
to an East Oregonian reporter: "Mr.

Stabbing; Affray at the East End.
From Thursday's Dally.
For some time there ha exia'td bad
blood between a young man by tbe nama of
Watson, who formerly acted as waiter in
tbe hotel st the East End, and tbe proprie
tor, Mr. F. W. L. Skibbe. Yesterday
afternoon, about 2 o'clock, it culminated in
Watson being serionsly stabbed by Skibbe.
rhere were several rumors rife about tbe
affair this morning, and a reporter of the
Times-Mountainkbr called on Skibbe to
procure his version of the matter. He ap
peired to be sorry that it occurred, but says
it could not be helped under the circutn-
stances. Soon after noon, he said, the
young man came to bia kitchen and began
abusing his wife. He ordered bim out of
the house, and a quarrel ensued. Wataen
truck at Skibbe several times, and in the
beat of passien he (Skibbe) drew a pocket-
knife and stabbed him two or three times.
Another account of the enoounter is
given by Mr. Watson. He says he heard
that Mr. Skibbe wanted to see bim, aad
went to ths hotel about 2 o'clock, where he
fount Mrs. Ssibbs in the kitchen. " Talk
ing pleasantly with the lady, he told her
his errand, and inqnired where Mr. Skibbe
was. While engaged io conversation Mr.
Skibbe bolted into tbe room and immed
iately struck at bim. He bit him once or
twiee with his fist, when he drew a knife
and Watson made for the bick door. In
making bia exit Watson received a thrna
from the knife in the face, but did not
know be wat atabb-jd in any other portion
of the bod uutil some time afterwards.
Going to hi room in the Cwmopolitan
Watsoo pat hi band in his pocket for hi
handkerchief to wipe the blood from bia
face when be found bis underclothing sat
urated. Immediately disrobing, he found
blood gashing in a constant stream from
the wound in his left side, in th flank. Ha
bled profusely, nearly filling a vessel which
he held to receive it. Procuring a towel he
bound it around hia body, and feeling him
self fainting he laid down on the bed, where
be remained in an unconscious . condition
from 3 o'clock until half-past 6. Physicians
were called at 10:30, and the wound exam
ined. It was considered dangerous to probe
to ascertain the depth of the wound; but
the stab was apparently from the small
blade of a knife, and the cut was not an
inch in length. If the knife piarced tbe
diaphragm of the abdomen, the injury may
be very serious. A warrant of arrat was
sworn out before Recorder Dafur this after
noon, and D. puty Sheriff Phirman brought
Skibbe down to the recorder' office, and he
waa placed under $1000 bond to appear for
examination Saturday forencon at ten
o'clock.'
Too Cld ta Keep.
Exchange,
A son of one of eur prominent Metho
dist divines liviug in Chicago, tel!s tbe
following amusing story:
Remembering tbe religious lesson of his
youth he bas taagbt bis children to revere
everything pre taming to the Deity.
tie is extremely proud ot bis bright and
pretty children who are 3, 5, 7, and 9,
respectively. One evening a short time
sgo, while easy in bis study with some
of tba affairs of tbe Ofpbeus club, of
wbicb he la president, he was annoyed by
a damping ot feet on the floor of tbe
iHrery overhead He knew tbe cbll
dren were making tbe no:se, and more
out of curiosity than anything else, he
stepped quietly np stairs to see what was
going en.
What he saw and beard almost turned
bis bslr white.
In tbe middle of tbe floor, with c.asped
bands forming a circle, were bis four chit
dren. Witb tbeir feel tbey were keeping
time, and in astonishing good voice thev
were singing to tbe tune of Boom-fa- ra
tbe following words:
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray tbe Lord my soul to keep;
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take.
Boem-tara-ra, boom ds-ay,
Beom-ta-ra-ra, boom -de-ay." etc.
The scene was too much for bim. He
slipped back to bis study, and calling bis
wire said: "l have taken extraordinary
pans in tbe religious training of our lu
lls ones, but I resign the position henceforth."

Tontine Funds Jeopardized as a General Surplus Available For Expenses.
a '.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 ostensibly for the benefit oi persistent sar
vivors) is not only IGNORED; but this Tontine Fuad is included in and unjustly jeopardised 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 "Toatia is
more available to excite hopes of legitimate gains
thsn it is to fulfill them."
