The snow is very low down on the
mountains; and high-water may be ex
pected in June if there is not warm
weather soon.
The sheriff and deputy are kept
quite busy these days making out re
ceipts for taxes. Our citizens are
usually prompt in liquidating their
indebtedness to the state, county and
city..
Walla Walla Statesman: The Daily
Times-Mountaineer has come out :
with a new, face of type, and looks as
blushing and modest as a young bride
with its new honors.
Cattle and hogs are going up all the
time. Meat is now as high in Chicago
as it has been for years, and the end of
high prices is not in sight yet. Let
our farmers and stockmen look out be
fore they sell.
A hobo,, hearing the euphonious
cegnomen of Carlos Thompson, was
. arrested last night, and this morning
the recorder sentenced him to three
days' work on 'the street, under charge
of Commissioner .bums.
This "feeding horses to hogs" story,
supposed to have occurred over in
Morrow county, is all rot. It was
caused by leaving off, inadvertently,
the creait oi a cupping rrom a ixeo-
raska paper, says the Heppner Gazette.
The ground is in excellent condition
for seeding, and it easily pulverized
under the plow. A Dufur farmer this
morning informed us that rain and
warmer weather would impel growth;
but the soit"could not be better to re
ceive the plow.
The Seattle canal subsidy of $500,000
is fast being subscribed. Although
only a week nas elapsed since it was
started very nearly $300,000 has been
collected. Among the subscribers on
Saturday were Stewart & Holmes for a
Ool thousand dollars."
The sociable of the Woodman last
-evening attracted a large audience,
COmpusea oi mwuiuens auu liigii iau-
ies and invited guests. An excellent
programme of Literary exercises was
rehearsed, and all present appeared
well pleased with the entertainment.
La Grande Chronicle: The Dalles
Daily Times-Mountaineer was six
years old Monday, and the event was
celebrated by enlargement to the six
column size, and the donning of a new
dress. The publisher has just reason
for feeling proud of the improvement.
. East Oregoniara The Dalles Daily
Times-Mountaineer has put on a
new "spring dress," and assumed an
air of thrift that is as pleasing to the
intellectual eye as a bright and cheer
ful face. We are pleased to see this
evidence of prosperity on the part of
our esteemed co temporary.
Mr. H. Esping and Mr. Chas. Mich
elbach went up the railroad track yes
terday afternoon about 4 o'clock on bi
cycles, intending to return in two
hours; but sinee that time nothing has
been heard from them. They may
have continued their journey to some
of .the neighboring towns, and . may
turn up all right in a day or two.
The ship Ciipica, with a cargo of tin,
arrived at Astoria Monday, 199 days
from Liverpool. She had been given
np as lost, and many of the canners of
the lower river had duplicated their
orders for tin. The ship experienced
remarkable rough weather during al
most the entire trip. Tin will now be
plentiful as the Vupiea had enough,
and another lot is on the way.
In The Dalles items in the Oregonian
today is the following: "The first clip
of this eeasons's wool arrived at the
Wasco warehouse today. The ship
ment is from near Hay creek, and of
fine quality." This may be the first
clip that the correspondent noticed;
but the Times-Mountaineer pub
lished an item of the arrival of a load
of wool from Dayville at Moody's ware
house about three weeks ago.
Baker City, says the Democrat, can
probably claim the highest feats of
bicycling in the world, and the more
wonderful it is that young ladies are
entitled to the honor. The roof of the
Hotel Warshauer has of late been the
place selected by several young women
to practice wheel riding. The roof is
as smooth as glass, is four stories high,
and is adequate in size for learning the
art. Most of all, it is secluded and re
peated falls cannot be observed by an
unsolicited audience.
From Thursdays Daily.

Albany Herald: The Dalles Times
Mountaineer is out with an- entire
new dress of clear cut handsome type,
making a very neat appearanee.
Captain Blowers, who has been in
attendance on the county court, which
held an adjourned meeting yesterday,
returned to Hood River this afternoon.
The county court held an adjourned
meeting yesterday to receive the de
linquent tax list; but it not being
ready the matter was deferred until
the regular meeting in May.
The Columbia Packing Co. ships
dressed beef to Cascade Locks, Sprague
and Hood River almost every day. The
Dalles supplies the surrounding coun
try with beef and other commodities.
In the windows of Mr. M. Z. Don
nell's drug store there was a fine dis
play last night. This was admired
by all persons who passed that way,
and the taste of the proprietor highly
complimented.
The Roseburg Review rises to the
occasion, and remarks that the only
thing wrong with this railroad com-
mission is that the members receive
their salaries from the state treasury.
If the railroad paid them as it does
other employes no one would object to
liiu cumuussiun.
At the raffle last night at Mays &
Crow's store Mr. Harry Liebe held the
winning numbers and was awarded the
two bicycles. The numbers were 163
and 170; but the wheels were those
adapted to the use of ladies, and it may
be considered that hereafter Mr. Liobe
will be a great favorite with tho gen
tier sex.
The following, from an exchange, is
sound wisdom, and should be followed
by every editor: "I ever write when
you are angry. If you do, lay the
manuscript by and read it when you
cool off. The first impulse upon read
ing an abusive article is to sit down
and rip the other fellow's hide off. But
this is a mistake. Nine times out of
ten it is better not to reply at all."
Counting the number of vessels grain
laden for foreign countries that have
already left Portland, and those now
on the way, the total foots up the larg
est list that has ever sailed from the
Columbia river. Up to date 83 foreign-
bound vessels nave cleared with grain,
and tne total when the season is over
makes 104. The total tonnage now in
port represented by three vessels is
5180 tons.
No pupil who smokes cigarettes is
allowed to attend the Joseph public
school. The school board has just
taken the matter up, and decided that
anybody discovered using cigarettes
will be promptly expelled, no matter
whether smoking on or off the school
grounds. All members of the board
voted lor the proposition. Every school
board in the country ought to follow
suit.
Wasco tribe, No. 16, 1. O. R. M. of
this city, intend to give an excursion
to Cascade Locks on May 12th, Chief
Tammany's day. They will charter the
boat or the train and start from the
city about 7 or 8 o'clock in the morn
ing, and spend several hours there be
fore returning. This will be an oppor
tunity for any person who desires to
see what work has been done on the
government canal, and how this under
taking: has progressed under the con
tract system.
From Fn ay a Daily.

$1200.
A force of Chinamen arrived in the
city yesterday to work in the can
neries. Several white men will be
employed; but celeitials will clean the
fish and prepare them for canning.
Salt rheum often appears in cold
weather, attacking the palms of the
hands and other parts of the body.
Hood's Sarsaparilla, the great blood
purifier, cures salt rheum.
To-morrow there will a special sale
at A. M. Williams & Co. of boys two
piece suits, prices ranging from $1 to
$2. This is a rare opportunity for bar
gains. There was one arrest made last
evening, and this morning the recorder
interviewed him and imposed a fine of
$5 on him for being drunk and disor
derly, which he paid and was allowed
his freedom.
Goldendale Senienel: The Times
Motjntatneee has received a complete
new dress and is enlarged to a six
eolumn paper. The change makes a
wonderful improvement in the inter
esting daily. .
At the raffle last night Mr. C. W.
Stone won the bicycle, and this time
it was one for the use of gentlemen.
It was an elegant wheel, one of the
best that has been on sale in Mays &
Crowe' 8 store.
Wasco News: The Times-Monu-
taineer came out this week in a brand
new dress, and a column larger. It is
a credit to Bro.' Michell that he has
been able to stem the hard times and
make such a marked improvement in
his paper.
Moro Observer: Bro. Michell has
paid the fine imposed upon The Moun
taineer by the Observer for that
newspaper suit" joke, and his paper
comes to us this week sparkling and
bright in a bran new dress, and en
larged to a six column 10110.
- One mieht as well try to stem the

The latest results of pharmaceutical
science and the best modern appliances

is fully abreast oi the age in an mat
goes to make it the standard blood
purifier. The old reservoir on the bluff is being
drained into the Union street sewer.
When the water is low good fishing
may be expected, as several years ago
trout were placed in this reservoir and
it is expected they have increased in
number. The small boys have had
considerable amusement catching eels
ni the mud on the side of the pond
Labor "statistics for 1894 show that in
the United States there were twelve
per cent, or one-eighth fewer hands
employed than in leas, xnat repre
sents an unemployed army of 565,000
persons. In wages earned and not paid
it stands for $500,000,000. Applied to
product values it shows a falling of $1,
254,000,000 as compared with the year
in which the people voted for a change.
Moro Observer: Thomas Callaghan
sold 49 head of hogs to a Portland
buyer last., week, to be belivered at
Grant, at 3c. The lot averaged 268 ft
each, Morrissy & Weigands sold a lot
to the Bame party, on the same condi
tions, which averaged a itt more per
head. So you see Sherman county
falls in with the progressive idea of
having something to sell besides
wheat.
A load of merchandise left Moody's
warehouse yesterday for Prineville.
The freighting season for this spring
has fairly begun, and goods for the in
terior will leave the warehouse almost
every day. This is the distributing
point for a large region of country,
and goods shipped to merchants in
Crook and Grant counties pass through
the warehouses at The Dalles. The
road to the interior from this point is
always in better condition than from
other places, and this attracts trade.
Owing to the fact that a demand has
been found for Oregon and Washing
ton potatoes this spring there is dan
ger of greatly overdoing the business
planting potatoes in the Pacific north
west this year, says the Sural North
vxst. If it had not been for the great
drouth which cut short the potato crop
of Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, the
Dakotas and other states in the east
last year, hundreds af carloads of po
tatoes would have rotted in Oregon
and Washington which are sow find
ing a market.
THE OREGON PACIFIC.
It Will be Built Into Eastern Oregon, and
Furnish an Outlet for Crook and
Grant Counties.
In "conversation with a person "who
has just returned from the Willamette
valley, and who has interviewed the
directors of the Oregon Pacific, we
learn there is not the least doubt that
the railroad will be constructed into
Eastern Oregon as soon as the sale is
confirmed by the supreme court,
There cannot be much .doubt that the
proceedings will be considered regular
and the sale made erood. If the deci
sion of the supreme court is favorable
a force of men will be put at work as
soon as possible in preparing the road
bed and laying rails, and it is expected
by the time snow flies the whistle of
the locomotive will echo through the
valleys of Crook county. The people
of Prineville are not favorably . dis
posed towards the railroad, but it is a
matter of business with the company,
and the directors are determined to
have a share of the trade of the Inland
Empire. This will be no benefit to
The Dalles, without our citizens have
sufficient enterprise to build a road
into the interior, and thus "head off"
the Oregon Pacific. Portland and the
O. R. & N. are interested in this matc-
ter, and it would be greatly to their
advantage to control the trade of the
.interior bv means of the Columbia
river. They can oo this by Duiiaing
railroads into Crook and Grant coun
ties; but. if they take no action it is
very apparent that the wool and other
shipments of these districts will seek
an outlet via the Oregon Pacific to
Yaquina Bay.
PLOWING.
The
Ground Is Not Wet Enough
For
Thorough Cultivation.
Some farmers claim that the ground
was never in better condition than at
present for spring sowing, and others
claim that it is too dry. It is a well
known fact in this latitude that heavy
snows in winter are necessary to pro
duce good crops, and last winter the
snowfall was not as much as it might
have been. With the prevailing winds
from the west the moisture -in the
gTound is" soon absorbed. . Constant
rains in spring are always beneficial,
and generally insure good crops. At
present .the soil is easily pulverized
under the plow, but the moisture is
not deep in the ground, and a few
inches in depth it is absolutely
dry. There have been' a few showers
during the month, but the precipitation
has not been sufficiently abundant to
satisfy the demands of farmers. It is
to be hoped that during the present
month copious showers will fall, and
then our farmers will be contented.
The low prices last year have not in
the least discouraged our producers,
and every plow is busy turning up
ground. The acreage will be fully as
large this year as formerly, and in
some places much larger. Our farm
ers are not discouraged, and when the
harvest time arrives there will be the
same activity as in former years. The
soil of Wasco is. very prolific, and with
proper cultivation will produce abund
ant crops.
O. R. . N. CO.
The Company Improving The Road Along
The Line And The Bridges to be
Filled In.
Major J. P. O'Brien, general super
intendent of the O. R. & N. Co., was
in the city yesterday examining the
property of the railroad in this vicin
ity. He took a trip down to the high
bridge, a few miles , west of the city,
and also to some of the bridges east of
The Dalles. Since the lease of the
Union Pacific has expired the O. R. &
N. has displayed considerable enter
prise in placing the road in first-class
shape, and when the work now in
operation is completed the line will be
in as good condition as any in the
country. When the road was built
several bridges over gulches were con
structed, and these have been a con
stant expense in keeping in repair.
The object is to do away with the' tres
tle work, and fill the gulches with
dirt. Every year there are expenses
incurred in keeping them in good con
dition, and then they frequently burn
and during freshets are washed out.
This bill of expenditure will be cur'
tailed, and the object of Major O'Brien's
visit to this city was to look over the
work and see how it was progressing.
The receiver, Mr. McNeil, left New
York yesterday for Portland, where he
is expected to arrive in a few days.
TTia visit east had for its object the in
terests of the company, and the re
sults may be expected to be seen in a
little while.
COLD STORAGE,
Company That Will Work a Great De
velopment of the Fruit and Vege
table Iddnstries.
The Cold Storage Co., in this city,
shipped three carloads of potatoes to
Omaha yesterday. This is but the be
ginning of a good export trade, which
will inure to the benefit of the commu
nity. There are fruits and vegetables
grown in this vicinity for which a
ready sale could be made in the east,
and the Storage Company will furnish
a means of transportation for our pro
ducers. Every season there would be
large quantities of fruits and garden
growths shipped if they . could be
placed on the market in a saleable
shape, and the facilities of this com
pany are such that with refrigerating
cars it could put our early vegetables
and fruits in as good condition in the
Chicago and New York market as they
are when offered for sale here. This
cold storage idea cannot be consid
ered an experiment, or in any manner
a novel arrangement, for the necessity
of such a company has been apparent
to every one who has made the least
observation of the means necessary to
bring us in touch with eastern markets.
Won't Fay For Papers.
Salem Post: Secretary of State Kin-
caid has now refused to allow the state
to pay for any newspapers subscribed
for by the state officials. The economy
idea has struck him since the legisla
ture adjourned. He says that if any
officials desire a newspaper he can well
afford to pay it out of his pwn salary.
Heretofore the custom has been to al
low each man holding office five papers
to choose from any in the state which
he may desire, the bill was sent to
party subscribing where an O. K. was
placed upon it and sent to the secre
tary's office to draw a warrant for the
same.
It has always been understood that
the money for these different news
papers was taken out of the salary of
the officials, therefore not costing the
state a single cent, and if such is the
case the secretary is in error in refus
ing to allow the same,
Interesting Statistics.

A HURRICANE.
Tho Wind Blew With Great Velocity at
Different Points East and West of
The Dalles.
Yesterdav -afternoon an unusual
I heavy wind storm prevailed in this
portion of the northwest. The railroad
I men who came to the city on the
freight and passenger trains describes
the velocity of the wind as something
terrific. " In passing over the sandy
regions east of the city they say the
sand darkened the atmosphere, and at
times it seemed as though it were im
possible for the cars to keep the track,
Fortunately no accidents occurred, and
as they stepped off the train at the de
pot they felt relieved of a great anxiety.
On the river the waves rolled moun
tains high, and the old Columbia
showed her anger in a very perceptible
manner. The good, staunch boat- Beg
ulator rode the billows like a thing of
life, and appeared to laugh at their
fury. Everything was in perfect order,
and the rudder answered to the wheel
in absolute obedience. While the wind
howled around in demoniac wildness
the good ship held her course, and
plowed the furious billows as though
the elements were at her command.
She made her landing in good time,
and as she was made taut to the
wharf she seemed to say; "I am queen
of the river; I am monarch of all I sur
vey." - At The uaiies a iew gusts oi
wind were the only unusual occurren
ces, and the elements were not furious
in their outbursts, Surrounded by the
everlasting hills this city always en
joys ah immunity from winters
storms or the freaks of the old man of
the seasons when he bids farewell to
blushing spring.
FIFTY YEARS AGO.
A Half Century Since He First Settled In
This Portion of the Northwest.
Today is the anniversary of an im
portant event in the life of Mr. Geo.
W. Rowland, for on April 10, 1845, his
father and mother settled on the old
homestead in the Willamette valley,
where they lived until -their death, a
few years ago. Mr. Rowland remem
bers arriving at The Dalles over fifty
years ago, where his father built a raft
and on it the family floated down the
Columbia. They could make only a few
miles each day, and when night over
took them would tie the raft up
and camp on the shore. It was a tor
tuous journey, with the cold, sleety
rain and heavy winds, and when they
reached the Cascades they turned the
raft loose and made the journey to the
settlements in a wagon. This portion
of the state at that time had few inhab
itants, and between here and the Cas
cades there was a complete wilderness,
composed of inaccessible mountains
and giant and primeval forests.' Mr.
Rowland has witnessed a wonderful
improvement in the wilrjs of Oregon
since his boyhood days, and expects to
see further advancement before he an
swers to the last summons.
Editorial Cares.
The editor of a Texas paper gives
the following figures of a statistical
memorandum of his every day life, and
still people will think that editors

A Blizzard.
At Dufur yesterday forenoon the
weather was fine and pleasant; but in
the afternoon it blew a hurricane. The
wind howled around the buildings and
through the streets in true Kansas
style, and people feared that a cyclone
was venting its fury. But the storm
did no damage, and its fury was fully
spent without any one being injured.
The dust was lifted from the roads and
formed clouds that darkened the sun
for a time. As a mde the people of
Dufur are very religious, and they
knew it was no visitation of the ven
geance of the Almighty for their sins
of omission or commission; but they
kept within doors, and spoke in
whispers and with feelings of awe. In
the evening the wind went down, and
there was an opportunity for the new
club lately formed on the communistic
principle to divide the weekly fees in
front of Johnston Bros.' store.
Will It be Enforced?
The Astorian, in speaking of the
Sunday-closing statute of Oregon of
fish-wheels, traps and nets, says:
."The action of the Washington leg
islature in repealing the Sunday clos
ing section of their fish law, leaves
Commissioner McGuire, of this state,
in a quandary as to his duty under our
law. Tq enforce the Oregon statute so
as to prevent our people from fishing
on Sunday would amount tq a direct
discrimination in favor qf Washington
fishermen but, on the qthec hand, if
the commissioner ignores the law,
some political or personal enemy will
be sure to raise a hue arid, cry, It is
the general opinion among the can-:
nery men of Astoria that the law will
be treated as a dead letter, and that
our fishermen can fish all they please
on Sunday, without fear of being disturbed."
DUFUR NOTES.
Items of Interest From Our Neighboring
Town.
Dufur, April 11, 1895,
Editor Tihss-Hocstainskr:
After a silence of some months again
we greet you. What a beautiful clean
face you have; how neat and tidy you
appear in vour new dress, and how
welcome are your enlarged proportions.
That old face was worn, and no wash
ing could clear it up. As a reader we
are glad it has gone to hell the print
er's hell we mean. The only lament
we hear comes from our spectacle man,
who declares you have set him back
about ten years in his business. The
editor's talk about old friends, half
apostrophe to the old type, struck us
as kind, true philosophy that may be
variously applied, even to ourselves.
Time will tell on all things. Unlike
type we give our best impressions after
many pressures, but after long and
continued pressures we become
blurred, here and there a peremeter
niched, a corner gone or center
blocked. Then our mission is filled-
one place really vacant. Nature ab
hors a. vacuum, and for this reason we
have thought many die young. But
no need of this philosophising we are
heartily glad to see you looking so
neat, so clear, so trim, so ample.
Our farmers are busy seeding. Some
are abont through, while others will
be some weeks yet. The ground is
much dryer than it was at this time
last year. Mr. Neal says it was as dry
as it was at this time in May last year.
The winter has been remarkably
healthy up to the last month, when an
epidemic of grip set in. The mumps
appeared to accompany the la grippe,
and between the two we have had quite
a hospital time in our community.
Mr. Heisler starts next Monday for
the upper John Day country with
young cattle to supply the ranches of
his sons who are located up there.
C. P. Balch, our irrepressible drug
gist, and Fred Frazier, a young black
smith of our town, have recently im
ported some strange looking, though
to them valuable dogs. A description
would be difficult, but here goes: lean,
almost white, solemn in countenance,
drooping ears, tail drooping, hair 2i
inches long, at right angles with the
hide; class, lanidce porcopinus (porcu
pine.) Looking at them one would
hope the class will be extinct when
they are gone.
We believe it is generally agreed to
postpone the May picnic until May 7th
or 17th, at which time it is hoped that
verybody with their uncles, aunts and
cousins will want to be out of doors to
enjoy a day with us. Our band, and
we are proud to say there are few bet
ter, will be with us. There will be
swings for the children, shade for the
old folks, room for the beaux,' baseball
and other games for the sports and
May-day for all. Q. R. X.
Emit Prospects. ,
Mr. Emile Schanno, who takes a
great interest in fruit culture, says the
prospects for a 'good crop were never
better, and without something unex
pected happens to injure the young
buds the yield will be abundant. The
cold weather and frosts did no damage
in this vicinity, and there will be no
loss for this reason. Peach, apple,
prune and plum trees are covered with
blossoms, and every tree bids fair to
give an abundant return for the or
chardists' labor. Spraying has rid the
trees nearly of San Jose scale, and the
codlin moth In apple trees are under
control. With the cold storage com
pany in operation, and good prospects
of a fruit cannery being established,
fruit growers around The Dalles have
the promise of a very remunerative
harvest. This point is truly the fruit
orchard of the state, and our pears,
peaches and apples are earlier in the
market, and have a much ' more de
lightful flavor than those grown else
where, "
New Snake River Boat.
At O. R. & N. headquarters it is
learned that -the new river steamer
Lewiston, on the Snake river, has just
been completely fitted up for passen
ger service and will go into commis
sion at once. This is probably the
finest pleasure boat on the Snake and
was built to replace the Faxon, which
was burned a short time since. The
Lewiston was run last fall as a freight
boat, her cabins and passenger quar
ters only being finished this spring.
She will commence Saturday making
regular runs between Riparia and
Lewiston as a regular mail and passen
ger packet, and will make the run
without layovers. She has a set of
new chime whistles, and was presented
by the citizens6f Lewiston with a
complete set of very handsome new
colors. '
A Potato Famine.
Salem Journal: Mrs. T. A, King,
who last winter successfully raised a
carload of provisions for the people of
the starving districts of Nebraska, has
received word that there are no pota
toes to be had in that section for seed,
and an effort will be made to secure a
carload donated in and about Salem to
be sent for that purpose. This will re
quire about 400 bushels, and the same
should be ready to ship within ten
days. The good people hereabouts .
will no doubt come to the rescue as po
tatoes are cheap. This is a deserving
charity, and as the former effort to re
lieve those suffering people was so sat
isfactorily disposed of, it is known
that all donations will go to the proper
hands. Potatoes can be left at the S.
P. depot, and should be sacked if pos
sible. AUCQ'C

New Ditch In Washington.
It is stated that a company has been
organized to build a big irrigation
uiucu near me mourn oi Snake river
by which to furnish water for 12,000
acres of land which lie between the
mouth of the Snake river and the
mouth of the Walla Walla river. The
scheme is to go up the Walla Walla
river on the south side a few miles and
take water from that stream and run
it down the left bank until about four
miles from the Columbia. There it
will cross the Walla Walla and run up
the Columbia and parallel with it to
the mouth of the Snake.
It is thought that such a natural
grade can be had with so little rock
work that there can be no difficulty
and comparatively light expense in
putting1 in the ditch. The sum of $60,-
uw is thought to -be enough to com
plete the work.
The Railroad Commigion,
The following from the Salem Journal
of Tuesday is the latest regarding the
railroad commission:
'Governor Lord has been examining
the authorities cited by Col. Drake
and it is said finds they sbstain his
message in holding that the legislature
has no constitutional power to create
offices and fiill them. The governor
upholds the secretary of state in refus
ing warrants and holding the board
should have qualified.
"Judge Willis, of Roseburg, left for
home this morning. He says the rail
road company can well afford to pay
the commission their salaries and
maintain them in office at its own ex
pense and prefers doing that to losing
their valuable services."

Charles Cunningham, the Umatilla
county "sheep king," owns 14,000
acres of deeded land and has enough
more under lease to make nearly 60,
000 acres. He has 20,000 sheep, or one
sheep to three acres. Ten thousand of
his sheep were wintered without a
pound of hay or "grain, and in four
weeks on grass will be ready to market
for mutton. He will ship 3300 to Chi.
cago about May lst. His lamb crop
this spring will number 7000. He will
shear about 400,000 pounds of wool, 80
men being employed. To feed his
hands takes three tons of sugar per
year, 1200 pounds of coffee, 800 pounds
of tea, 36 hogs, 10 beeves, 200 sheep,
etc.

It soothes the child, softens the gums,

the best remedy- for diarrhoea. Is

Twenty-five cents a bottle. Its value
is incalculable. Be sure and ask for
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup, and
take no other kind.
The State of Inventors.
The inventiveness of Connecticut
Yankees is unparalleled. Every year
theyrow more inventive. A good
proportion . of the population of the
state are inventors and patentees.
Their business in life is to invent
things and take out patents for them.
Lots of the women of the state are patent-holders,
' and the patents are for
their own inventions, too. Connecti
cut stands the first among the invent
tive states of the union. The patents
taken out last year, by the inventors
of the nutmeg state, number one for
every 903 of the state's inhabitants.
This was for a single year.

not entitled to it in that way. He
thinks the only way sanctioned by the
constitution for the payment of money
is upon bills properly audited by him.
The understanding of the Institutions
getting appropriations, has been that
they could draw it quarterly and spend
it as they pleased," but ; Mr. Kinoaid
says it is intended for certain purposes
and the vouchers ' therefor must be
