Dividing the Rolling Stock
La Grande Chronicle.
Mr. McCully, who recently returned
from Salt Lake and Ogden, informs the
Chronicle that the work of segregating the
rolling stock of the Union Pacific and
Oregon Short Line roads is now In prog
resa. All the separate property, includ
ing engines, cars, cabooses, etc., being
delivered to the respective roads to which
they belong. Mr. McCully was informed
that when this work is finished, the Short
Line will be in possession of tbe princi
pal part of the rolling stock. This prop
osition seems te be bourne out in a state
ment that is prominent in railroad cir
cles, concerning the plan by wbich the
Union Pacific provided Itself with new
rolling stock when it was operating the
Short Line and the U. It. & N. under
lease. The plan was that ot purchasing
new cars and charging the expense to the
leased roads. Of course the cars belong
to these leased roads now and they have
a larger equipment of this kind than is
necessary, while the Union facinc naa
the use of the new errs without having
been compelled to contribute anything
toward their purchase price.
Attempted Suioide.
Arlington Record.
Manlty Keizir, a i expectable citizen of
our couuty, made an attempt to take his
life by the etrycliuine route a few days ago.
As near a we are able to learn tbe facts of
tbe matter are about these:
He came in with some money to lay in
supplies for his family, and as fate would
have it got into a game, lost the monpy.and
not lavii g the courage to face bis wife and
femily or go bat k home without the neces
saries he expected to get, concluded to end
the disgrace by taaicg his life. He accord
ingly went into the drug store and bought
a bottle of strychnine, opened the bottle
and attempted to swallow its contents. It
so happened that juet a be attempted to
pot the bottle to bis mouth John Moiman,
who had stepped in, saw him and struck his
arm in time to tp;ll the contents of tbe bot
tle before he could swallow it, and in this
way no donbt sayed his life.
We are glad that the matter ended as it
did. Mr. Keizur is one of our most re
spected citizens and bas a loving wife and
nice children. We hope that this narrow
escape will be a lesson long to be remem-
Dered, not only by him, but others, to avoid
every appearance of evil.

The Uirls Got Ca.ndv
When Senator Hutchinson provided
cigars for his colleagues in the Washington
legislature a few days ago, the lady clerks
were necessarily overlooked. Asa conse
quence Senator Weoding introduced the
following:
Wdkbeah, At least one branch of this
legislature bas deoreed that tha fair sex
should be precluded irom participating in
the rights, privileges and yieea of the "lords
of creation," and that by reason of the
aforesaid the young lady clerks are com
pelled to forego the pleasure of smoking
any of the cigars ss considerately furnished
by Serator Hutchinson on this most joyous
occasion; therefore, be it
'Resolved, By this honorable boiy that
Senator Hitcbinson be and is hereby or
dered to immediately procure for the edifi
oatiou of of cur lady clerk, a suitable sup
ply of oonfeotionery.
Tbe resolution was adopted and the sen
ator purchased eleven boxes of candy for
the young ladies.

Soma Legislation-
Statesman comment says: Senator Pat
terson's bill for the conveying of oonyicta.
insane, etc., to tbose institutions by special
deputies sent after them by said institu
tions was defeated by a large majority in
the bonse Wednesday, Tbe sentiment
which obtained control in bringing a bent
the result waa an unwillingness to take
away from the sheriffs of tbe several conn-
ties tbe perquisites of soeh trips tq the cap
ital ako a fear that such a law would es
tablish an army ot deputies and messengers
around tbe institutions. Mr. Smith, of
Polk, yoted in the negative that he might
have an opportunity to mcve a reconsidera
tion, but tbe bill will not pass. It bas some
excellent feature-, but there is sufficient
objection to prevent its passage. .
Land Ownership In tbe United States-
Tbe census office baa made pnblio a report
showing that the owners of farms and
homes, including houses in towns and cities,
regarded as substantially the landowners of
tbe United States, own more than 90 per
cent of the wealth of the country. Of the
white more than CI per cent are owners; of
tbe negroes more than 17 per cent; of mixed
white and negro parentage, 5 per cent; of
the Indians 65, and of the Chinese and Jap
anese, 14. The woite owners of farms and
homes that are free of mortgage form 71
per ceat of all white owners; of the negroes,
89; of those of mixed parentage, 87; of the
Indians, 06; and of tbe Chinese and Japan
ese, 97 per cent. The percentages of own
ership is also higher among womeo, exoept
with the Indians and Chinese and Japanese,
The Masquerade Ball
The costumes displayed in the windows ot
MessrB. Pricz & Nitschke's furniture store
are very handsome, and are some of the
most unique ever seen in Tbe Dalles. The
masquerade ball this evening promises to be
thegrandeit event of the season, and no
doubt will attraot the largest audience of
any pirty ever given in the city. The ar
rangements have been perfected, and un
doubtedly it will be one of the bist man
aged parties which bas taken plaoe. The
Dalles Orchestra Union will furnish mnsio,
and this is a sufficient guaranty that it will
be first class in every particular. The grand
march will take place at 8:30, and all tbe
maskers will take part in this number of
the programme.
To Kill Gopher and Squirrels -
Tbe following receipt has proved to be
the best for tbe destruction of gophers
and squirrels: Take a five gallon can,
put a stick of phosphorous with a little
cold water in tbe bottom of it. Pour in
hot not boiling water, just bot enough
to melt tbe phosphorus gradually. Add
two pounds oi sugar and stir. Then add
cornmeal and flour In equal quantities to
make 8 thick batter. Then stir in whole
wheat until lbe latter is quite stiff. Pour
in at the same time fifteen or twenty drops
of rhodium. Tile wheal will absorb all
tbe water and tbe mass will become hard.
For use chip off small pieces tbe size of
a hickory nut and place in tbe runs. "

Indicted
Portland Telegram,
The grand jury also reported true bills in
otber esses, the most important being an
indictment against ex-Rev. J. C. Read,
Baptist preaober and bank robber. An in
teresting faot made known for the brat time
is tbe amount of money which Bead had at
tempted to slip from the money vaults into
bis bag when interference pot a atop to
further proceediosa. The indictment aa a
that it waa "twenty $20 gold coins," or,
1400, thna falling far short of the first esti
mate of the amount he would haye secured
if be had escaped. Toe oharge against Read

A Live Land Case-
The Eugene Register tails of a very live
as well as complicated land case. It says;
"A warrant has been issued for the arrest
of Fred Berger, near Junction City. Tba

np a claim near Junction some time ago.
He deserted it, and another fellow took it.
This fellow deserted it and Berger took it.

Homestead Exemptions-
Statesman.
Tbe homestead exemption bill as It
passed the senate is modeled after the
Illinois law on tbe same subject and al
lows a homestead exemption from execu
tion to tbe amonnt of $1000 together with
minor exemptions, and tbe exemption is
valid until such time as tbe youngest heir
shall have attained majority. The law is
a good one a much needed measure and
should speedily become a law, as the
present homestetd exemption law is
thought to be void by reason of a clerical
error of tbe 1893 session which enacted It.
Bv reason ot this error au amendment
which passed both houses in 1893 does
not appear in tbe law as it went to and
was signed by the governor. The states
ot tne union, wim a possinie three ex
ceptions, all have homestead exemption
laws. Tbe only dissenting votes on its
passage yesterday were those of Price,
Raley and Simon.
War of the Yakima Buoeessson-
Billie John, brother of Captain John
who after getting -'the power" was mys
teriously killed in the Walla Walla coun
try, claims that he is the residuary chief
of the Yakimas, and that he intends to
maintain that position against all usurp
ers, lie was the second chief during
the life of Captain John, and under the
laws of the tribe he became head chief
at his brother's death. He says that no
election will have any force, and that he
has made his hereditary claims impreg
nable by paying off the store debts of
the members of his tribe through the
sacrifice of a good many horses. The
pun and salmon dances of the Indians
will be held in the medicine bouse, be

The Color Line Is Drawn.
WASHuroTOti, Fob. 2t The civil ser
vice commission has just made public
corespeudence with tbe secretary ef tbe
treasury respecting alleged discrimination
on the ground of color m tbe removal of
women as plate printers' assistants in tbe
bureau of engraving and printing. The
following is the statement concerning tbe
matter made by tbe committee.
"These wuroen were appointed through
competitive examination under the civil
service rule. Since Mr. Johnson became
chief of the bureau, July 1, 1893, there
have been eighty- eight women removed
who were appointed through examina
tion, and of tnese eighteen were white
and seventy colored, leaving onW ten
colored women remaining in tb service.
This waa out of a total force of 887 print
ers assistants.
"The fact of this large number of dis
charges ot colored women and of passing
tnem over on certification bas ereatlv re
duced tbe numnerot colored women ap
plying tor examination. No allegation
has been made to tbe commission that the
colored women were removed for any
misconduct."
Tbe reply of tbe secretary refers to a
copy of a report from Chief Johnson
dated December 26, in wbicb be states
that the statistics submitted by tbe
commission msy be correct, but that the
inference sought to be drawn therefrom
that there has been marked discrimina
Hon on tbe ground of color alone is
erroneous. lie states that every selection
for appointment and recommendation for
remoyal made by bim bas been made
by bim has been made solely ia the in
terest of public service.
