a thief.
It is stated tnac oooaie nows iib.o

ment. Legislators all over the coun

meet their current expenses, which is
evidence that there is not a very big
barrel on tap. The legislators have
all been in politics too long to go
hungry when there is a corruption

Senator Dufur on the canvass in his

ways brought down the house. It was
something like this: "In the last leg
islature 72 republicans employed 121
committee clerks, or on an average of
1 apiece. Elect me gentleman, and I
will take my wife down to Salem with
me and then I won't need any clerk,"

ADVANCED TKmPKKAKCK IDEAS.
New Features of the Temperance Ques
tion Presented by Mrs. Hoffman.
The seating capacity of the JVTogt
opera house was taxed to its fullest
capacity to accommodate the audience
attracted there last night to hear the
lecture of Mrs. Clara C. Hoffman,
national secretary of the W. C. T. U.
Mrs. Hoffmaa has a pleasant, motherly
appearance, though in her kind, pleas
ing features one can read firmness and
strong personal character, and when
she faces an audience her hearers are
readily convinced that before them is
a speaker who is earnest in her con
victions and honest in her beliefs. Eut
in the presence of such a speaker, one
would be disappointed if he heard any
thing bitter or personal, for 6he readily
wins the good opinions of her hearers,
and carries them along through the
thread of her argument 90 pleasantly,
that all have a kindly feeling toward
her from the time she begins speaking
till she closes.
On being introduced by Mrs. W. H.
Biggs, president of the local union,
Mrs. Hoffman prefaced her address
with the question, "What advance
ment ha3 been made In the cause of
temperance?" She then proceeded to
show that the cause of temperance had
made rapid strides during tho past 50
years io that public sentiment had so
changed that intoxicants were no
longer considered necessary to socia
bility. Tho side-boards once seen in
the homes of the well-to-do in every
walk of life have almost disappeared;
setting the decanter and glass before
the visitor is no longer the custom; it
Is no longer deemed absolutely neces
sary to supply tho laborer with intoxi
cants that ho may labor. Religiously
too, the cause of temperance has ad
vanced, since fermented wines are now
seldom used at sacrament; ministers
as a rule are teetotalers, and few
church members engage in the liquor
traffic in any form.
The next matter to be considered by
the speaker was the proper method for
advancing temperance, and on this
line Mrs. Hoffman certainly has ad'
vanced ideas. She would not waste all
the energies of temperance workers in
attempting to reform those whose
habits have' been formed, but would
devote their greatest energies to edu
eating the youth, and preventing them
from becoming habitual drinkers of
intoxicants. To accomplish this she
would have the effects of narcotics and
intoxicants taught in every public
school, from the rostrum and from the
pulpit. She would educate the youth,
warn him of the dangers to his physi
cal and mental faculties from the use
of narcotics and intoxicants before
habits have been formed. She would
reverse the order of a majority of old-
school termperance workers by . pre
ventiDg intemperance through tha
medium of education, and in this re
spect she is certainly far advanced in
her ideas.
That she is a prohibitionist, the
speaker said there was no question,
but unlike the majority of temperance
workers, she had no special war to
wage upon the saloon keeper. "He is
as good as the saloon he keeps; the
saloon is as good as the law legalizing
it; the law is as good as the legislators
who framed it; and the legislators are
as good a the people who elect them,
said the speaker, hence the reason we
have saloons is because we want them,
because we still consider they are nec
essary. Her plan for abolishing them
is to remove the demand by every indi
vidual enforcing prohibition upon him
self, by his prohibiting the use of in
toxicants through refusing- their use
Mrs. Hoffman's lecture was listened
to with marked attention, and that it
was well received by her hearers was
made evident from 70 members having
been added to the local W. C. T. U. at
the close of the meeting.

TO DOWN THE SHEEP MES.
A. Bill Introduced by Gowan to Knock
Out the sheep Uoaiiiess.
, Hon. A..W. Gowan, the republican
senator from Grant, Harney and Mor
row counties, has introduced a bill
which has the appearance of being a
direct thrust at the sheep industry of
Eastern Oregon, and is rather a sur
prise to the sheep raisers, since last
June it was supposed that every nomi
nee oi tne republican party was an
avowed friend of the wool growers,
xne provisions oi the bill are as
follows:
Section I. It shall be unlawful fir
any person owning any sheep, hordes,
or cattle, or for his agent, or for any
person having any sheep, horses, or
cattle in charge, in any county in this
state, or for any person outside of this
state to move or drive such sheep into
any other county in this state, or for
any person outside of thisstate to move
or drive sheep, horses, or cattle into
this state, for the purpose of pasturing
or heruing such sheep, horses, or cattle
upon the public lands, or upou any
land owned by any person other than
the owner of such sheep, horses, or
cattle, or his agent, or the person hav
ing them in charge,- without the per
mission of the owner of said land; and
any person violating the provisions of
this section shall be guilty of a mis
demeanor.
Then follows a provision that live
stock - may bo driven -over lands
with the consent of the owners, or over
public lands, if two weeks and no
longer are consumed in the driving.
Section 2. Any persons violating
the provisions of this act ' shall upon
conviction thereof, be punished by a
fine of not less than $100 nor more
than $250; and the sheriff of the county
in which such conviction shall take
place shall have power to remove such
sheep, horses, or cattle from said
county at the expense of the owner' of
said sheep, horses, or cattle, or his
agent, or the person having them in
charge, and said sheriff is hereby giyen
lein upon said sheep, horses, or
cattle to recover said expense.
Section 3. Courts of justices of the
peace are hereby given concurrent
jurisdiction of offenses against the
provisions of this act.

Saturday evening Prof. McMillan
gave an exhibition of his strength at
the Germania, that sonvinced all who
saw him that he was by all odds
the strongest man in the world. He
opened his entertainment by taking a
bar of half-inch round iron in his teeth
and bending it into all manner of
shapes. . He next took a long bar of
iron in his jaws and allowed five
heavy men to get on each end, hold
ing them up until the bar bent under
their weight. Next he took a No. 2,
Phoenix horseshoe, and broke it in
two with his hands, three decks of
cards were torn to nieces with his
hands, weights of 4( 0 and 500 pounds
were thrown around as if they were
feathers. Those who saw his per
formance were convinced that he
would be a dangerous adversary in a
contest of strenth. an i all were satis
fied to allow him to wear the cham
pionship belt without disputing his
strength.
- Prof. McMillan is touring the United
States for a wager 86,000. He left San
Francisco on May 2, 1895, clad in a
suit of newspapers, without a cent of
money, was to travel into every state

Didn't Want to Move.
Yesterday Special Agent Sherwood,
of the Indian department, held a coun
cil with about 25 Indians who live near
Turn water on the Columbia, for the
purpose of ascertaining if they . would
consent to being moved to the Yakima
reservation. The old braves, who had
made Tumwater vbeir home so long,
were loth to leave the scenes of their
childhood and the place where their
ancestors had lived .long before" the
white man invaded their territory, and
by a unanimous yote decided not to ac
cept the proffer of, the government to
move them. The matter is left to the
option of the Indians, hence the col
ony at Turn water will not be disturbed.
The Indians will be allowed to remain
where they were bred and born, to pur
sue the even tenor of their way, living
on salmon and smoking the pipe of
peace, as they have for many genera
tions. - JVho Bald So.

MEXICAN -!RA:N ROBBERS.
DIM "Set a Thief to Cutch a Thief" Hi
Socn Got ltiri of Them.
Apropos of the recent train robberies
in this country, a western railroad
man F.ujjfjesls to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat that we should adopt
the' Mexican plan of dealing with
them, which proved so effective there.
Mexico oSerr. great advantage over
this country for train robbing. It is
thinly nettled: the land is cut up with
mountains, oSTcrinfj hiding places for
the robbers and a raf j retreat; its peo
ple are not to advanced in civilization
as ours, and there is a much larger
dangerous element, ex-bandits and
revolutionists, to whom train robbing
would come as a natural trade. The
railroads, moreover, ere a new institu
tion, and it was natural to sirrpose
that train robberies would be numer
ous. During the first extension of our
railroad system into Mexico they were
so frequent that a passenger thought
himself lucky to get from the Kic
Grande to Mexico without several
stoppag-es from these '-knights of the
road." Detectives, bloodhounds and
other means of suppressing the evil
were tried, but with little more
success than in this country, when
President Diaz, on the old theory of
"set a thief to catch a thief," hit upon
the happy idea of utilizing- th? bandits
and railroad robbers to protect the
roads by oraniaia" them into a police
force known as thn rural en, or rural
guards. He had romo of the men who
were suspected of this business sum
moned !:-fore him and oi'crcd them an
opportunity of entering tho govern
ment survive as mount nd police, and
told them that if they did :. he would
furnish them with fine vniifomis, im
proved firearms and the best horses
that could be bought, but if they did
not he would have the soldiers hunt
them down. They knew that Dia2
was a man of his word, and they en
tered the government service, and.
being daredevils, as far as courage is
concerned, and thoroughly acquainted
with the ways end methods of the
train robbers, to whom they showed nc
mercy, they very soon suppressed these
robberies. When a train was held up
the rurales, who knew every moun
tain recess, never stopped i:nti! they
had hunted down the lirt, robber. The
plan v. orked rplendi-liy, and there is
to-day less interrupt in;; . ." railroads in
Mexico than in thin : -.r.r.tr;-, r-1 though
the chances for robbery arc so much
better there.

RUNG IN A COLD DECK.
How a Gambler In Mexico Swindled a Na
tive Monte Iealer.
'The coolest gamblers -on earth are
the Mexicans," said a traveler from the
land of the tamala to a writer for the
Washington Post. "Win or lose, they
never display the slightest chagrin or
joy". They won't raise a row, as our
American gamblers do when they are
beaten. I was sitting one evening at
the monte table in the great gambling
resort of Mexico, situated in a suburb
of the City of Mexico. There were two
Americans whom I had seen around
the table on several occasions. One
was a railroad man and the other was
the most expert short-card manipula
tor I ever saw. They played for very
small stakes for several days. Then
one day the railroad man came in, sat
dosvn and began to play. The short
card man followed him in about half
an hour and took a scat five or six
chairs away. I saw him take a large
silk handkerchief from his pocket and
spread it over his knees. In Mexican
monte the dealer allows each player to
cut the cards when he makes a bet. The
short-card man brought with him a
deck of cards exactly similar to those
used in the game. Fact is, the backs
of these cards are all alike. When he
was given the cards to .cut he stibsti-
. . .i i . i . e , .

was a card, a king, which would make
mm win. lie naxl put down eighteen
hundred dollars on the king on the
board. He cut, the dealer turned and
of course he won. The pack that the
dealer had handed him to cut lay in the
Bills- handkerchief spread over his
knees. He gathered the handkerchief
together, put it in his pocket, took his
ttiirty-six hundred dollars and loft.
His confederate played on for a few
minutes, making small bets, and then
cashed in. As he turned to go the
dealer, who knew he had been robbed
but could not quite comprehend how
it had been done, said very quietly:
very well done, signor.
An American gambler would have
raised a row and pulled hisgun and de
manded his money. They watch Amer
icans very closely in that gaie now.

The fact that Bilyeu and Lee, (demo
crats,) went into tho Mitohell joint
convention .Monday has little signifi
cance and does not by any means
pledge them to support Mr. Mitchell.
Mr. Bilyeu explained his position and
no doubt that of Mr. Lee by saying
that he wanted it distinctly undor-tood
that he was here to assist in organiza
tion. He further wished it understood
that he did not recognize the legality
cf the Benson house. He was of the
opinion that the election of a United
States senator could be had with tem
porary organization.
"If organization of the house is not
had at ouce," he said, ''I wash tny
handa of the whole thing. Tho respon
sibility for rot organizing must rest
on the republicans."
The Hawthorne Cnse.
Rather an interesting point was
raised in the circuit court before Judc
Bradshaw this morning. The griud
jury returned an indictment- yesterday
against Bert Hawthorn for assault, and
this morning Hawthorn came info
court- and plead guilty, whereupon his
attorney, Judge Story, moved to quash
the indictment on the ground that de
fendant had served a long term in the
county jail awaiting the action of the
grand jury, and tlmt tho justice of the
peace had exceeded his jurisdiction in
holding Hawthorn to answer before
the grand jury instead of fining him
for the offense to which he plead guilty
at the time of examination. The
court held the point not well taken
and remanded Hawthorn to the custody
of the sheriff.
