not more than a year.

when contemplating a trip east and
when bringing friends west, know
very little about the interior lines, and
the object of this article is to afford re
liable information.
In the first place for good time and
service select a route via St. Paul and
Minneapolis, because the lines that
way are continuous under one system
without any change of cars, and every
man from peanut agent up, is a cour
teous, reliable and experienced officer,
ready to aid and protect you in every
emergency and capable of making you
feel at home and comfortable during
the long journey. Then see that your
ticket reads via the Wisconsin Cen
tral lines, because that thoroughfare
affords strictly first-class service, and
the meals on its dining cai 8 (always
reasonable in price) are equalled by
few and excelled by none. Geo. S

MlM Yaw Dead.
From the Chicago Musical Times we
learn that Miss Ellen Beach Yaw died
Jan. 10 at Binghampton, N. Y. She
was singing before an audience, and
in reaching the high notes for which
her voice was famous, the jugular vein
in her throat burst, and she bled .to
death on the stage before her hearers
Miss Yaw was able to reach the highest
note of any cantatrice in the -world,
which was dus to the peculiar forma
tion of her throat. In straining to
reach this high note, muscles in her
throat were pressed against the jugular
vein and injured this by abrasion until
the membrane was worn through caus
ing hemorrhage. She had been warned
by the best vocal masters that the re
sult would be so if she persisted in sing
ing so high, but the warning was not
heeded, as was witnessed by the people
of The Dalles a few weeks ago. Miss
Yaw was born in Boston, Erie county,
N. Y., and was nearly 30 years of age.
It is to be regretted indeed that this
talented lady, before whom there was
Buch a brilliant future, should thus be
so untimely cut down.

pour into it a quantity of tar and tur
pentine, equal parts. Then stir the
contents with a red hot iron, so as to
fill the room with fumes. -The little
patient, on inhaling the fumes, will
cough up and spit out the membra
neous matter and the diptherla will
pass out. The fumes of the tar and

throat, affording the relief that has
baffled the skill of physicians. '

A CUBAN MEMORIAL.
Urging; Congress to Beeognlse the Inde
pendence of the Vnban Patriots.
' Senator King, of Baker, has intro
duced a memorial that is valuable for
two purposes, for the sentiment it ex
presses in favor of independence, and
also as a retorical production from
which Forth of July orators may make
extracts. It Is as follows.:
?.To the senate and house of repre
sentatives of the United States of
America in congress assembled:
"Where, it is a primary principle
of the people of the United States that
all men are created equal; that tbey
are endowed by their Creator with cer
tain inalienable rights; that among

The Indian's Appetite Held Out as Jmom

For feats of downright big eating 111
back the North American Indian
against the world, said a Colorado
man. -1 recall in particular an Arapa
hoe Indian who visited our camp by
the Fontaine qui Bouille river one
night. We had killed a buffalo calf
that day a ' good-sized, fat calf,
four or five months old and having
skinned and dressed the carcass, had
hung it up on a wagon pole. We had
carved enough oil one shoulder to go
along with mountain trout, bacon,
bread and coffee for our party of four
at supper; the rest of the meat was all
there. The Indian came riding up after
We had eaten and he looked pretty
tired and empty, lie had evidently
traveled a long way with little to eat,
for he was dusty, haggard and thin as
a shoestring, and there was no doubt
when he asked by signs for food that
he wanted it badly. AVe pointed to the
buffalo calf, and with hi knife he cut
off some slices of meat , laid them on
the embers, and as soon as they were a
little scorched ate them ravenously
and began again with the calf. - I
He was still, cutting and cooking I
meat and eating when we went off to
sleep, and so far as wo could tell he
spent the entire night in that occupa
tion, for whenever one or another of us
woke up enough to look around the In- '
dian was either cutting at. the calf or
eating by the fire. When we turned
out in the morning we found that aj ;
that was left of that buffalo calf was
its skeleton hanging from the pole. ;
The Indian had not carved away its :
joints and ribs as a white man would
THAT FKTITION TO MB. JONES.
Air. Jacobsen Makes Some Statements ana
Correetlous.
G. Jacobsen, who expects to be post
master at The Dalles if Mitchell is
elected senator, was engaged today
circulating a petition asking F. N.
Jones, of Bakeoven, Wasco county,
represonlalive-elect, to go into the
Mitchell senatorial caucus. Senator
Dufur was here and started the scheme,
and expects to secure the land ollice
appointment in return. The first
name on the petition is Frauk Mene
fee, a relative and partner of Dufur's;
the second is John Cradlebaugh, de
feated candidate for district attorney
last June, and the third is Bert Thurs
ton, who was the leader of the Bryan
forces here during the presidential
campaign. Others on the petition are
not prominent. It is not expected
that Representative Jones will pay
much attention to the petition, as he
is known to be a man of firm convic
tions and capable of acting for him
self. Dispatch to the Oregonian from
The Dalles, dated Jan. 16.
The communication of this Dalles
correspondent, who planned ihut ar
ticle to the Oregonian, is a fabrication
and false from top to bottom. I have
never circulated a petition asking F.
N. Jones to go into the Mitchell sena
torial caucus, for the reason generally
known that Mr. Jones is pledged, over
his own signature, to vole for Senator
Mitchell. I couid not, therefore, be a
party to any measure that would even,
by implication, insult the integrity of
Mr. Jones by assuming that he intends
to go back on asulemu, existing pledge
of honor. But 1 have circulated a pe"
tition asking Mr. Jones that we re
spectfully, but earnestly, ask that he
assist, by all means in his power, by
his presence, vote and influence, help
toward the organization of the house
of representatives: that there is legis
lation needed for the benefit of the
people represented by him, and we
emphatically condem obstructive meth
ods. This petition was signed by hundreds
of our best-citizens.-However honorable
the aspire tion, my name has never
been mentioned in connection with
the appointment of postmaster, 80 far
as I know; nor have I ever, like some
political bosses been a candidate for
unattainable honors. ' The people who
elected Mr. Jones no doubt are sur
prised to see the combine handling
him. It remains to be seen if Mr.
Jones is a man of firm convictions,
that will rather listen to bis bosses,
whose lieutenants are at Salem giving
advice, or give the people who elected
him legislation. If The Dalles corres
pondent will kindly answer this and
sign his name, I will show the citizens
of Wasco county that he is one of the
barking kind, and leaves all dirty work
for his lieutenants. Some people deal
in dirt, like to build imaginary bridges,
but never sign names.

WILL WITH A TIME LOCK.
Odd Testamentary Freak of an Eeeentrle
Follsh Land Owner.
The contents of a most eccentric will,
left by M. Zalesky, a rich Polish landed
proprietor, who died in the province of
Taurida in March, 1889, were recently
published, says the London Telegraph.
The property left by the deceased
was valued at seventy-five thousand
dollars, and his will was inclosed in an
envelope bearing the words: "To be
opened after my death." On this en
velope being opened, the executor
found a sealed envelope, on which was
written: "To be opened six weeks
after my death." The stipulated time
having elapsed, the second envelope
was opened and a third was found
with the words: "To be opened a year
after my death." At the end of the
year a fourth envelope was discovered
which was to be opened two years after
the death of the deceased.
This continued for five years, and
when, at length, in 1804, the actual will
was read, it was found to be as eccen
tric in its dispositions as in the direc
tions attaching to its opening. The
testator bequeathed half of his fortune
to such one of his heirs as has the
greatest number of children. The rest
of his money he directed to be placed
in a bank, and at the end of one hun
dred years, distributed, with the ac
cumulated interest, among the de
scendants of the testator.
The heirs of the deceased, however,
have taken proceedings to test the
legality of the will, on the ground that

cost that much a month. If people
dont want the instrument, it can be

Opinion of a Well-Known Swiss Writer A
Mixture of Troth and 1'ictlon.
A well-known Swiss writer, who vis
ited the world's fair and was then
forced to remain here for some time on
account of illness, has joined the long
list of foreigners for whom "America"'
has been a favorite subject for "disser
tation." In a recent issue of the Neue
Zuricher Zeitung, one of the most fa
mous Swiss journals, under the head
line, "What is America?" he wrote:
"America is a land compared with
which Europe is only a peninsula;
the United States forms a country com
pared with which the European king
doms are pygmies. America is the land
of unmeasured distances and dimen
sions; the land of dollars and electric
ity; the land where the prairies are
more extensive, the rivers mightier,
the waterfalls deeper, the bridges
longer, the lightning expresses faster,
the catastrophes more terrible than id
any other country in the world. It is
the land where in a single raihoad acci
dent and one occurs every few days
more people lose then- lives than in
Europe in a whole year. It is the land
where the houses are higher, the 'jail
birds' more numerous, the rich richer,
the poor poorer, the millions greater,
the thieves more daring, the murder
ers more shameless, the educated few
er, the teeth more generally false, the
corsets narrower, the diseases more
deadly, corruption . more general,
the summers warmer, the
winters colder, the fires hotter,
the ice thicker, time more precious, the
men more nervous, than in any coun
try in our pastoral Europe. It is the
land where the old men are younger
and the young men older, the negroes
blacker, the whites more yellow, than
in any other place. It is the land of
immeasurable natural wealth. In
short, it is the land of extraordinary
contrasts, of strange extremes, of non
sensical pride, of reckless money-hunting,
of senseless croze for gain the
land of the colossal and the pyramidal
of course, in the opinion of Ameri
cans. How many have gone from our
peaceful home to the land of false hopes
to seek riches, fortune and better life,
and have been lost either in the gut
ters of the great cities or the sands of
the prairies! How many have been
glad, when poor and deserted and
broken in heart and soul, to sail back
to their native land!"
