scribe unbosomed his feelings with
reference to the recent hold up at
Salem. After expressing his views
about all of Mitchell's opponents ia
no very choice language, the Wallowa
statesman turned his battery loose on
Governor Lord, and. belabored him as
follows:
"I toll you sir. Lord was to blame for
the whole damned business. (I mean
by that the whole obstructed business
and atr. talking about a mill dam, said
Jennings parenthetically.) Lord could
have effected organization had ho de
sired. But he had the senatorial bug
in his ear and lent his powerful in
fluence to the position and kept advis
ing them to hold out. Had he done
as we wanted and called special elec
tions to return members from the
counties from which came the mem
bers of the Davis house whose seats we
declared vacant, the thing would have
been accomplished. Lord has killed
himself with his party. He can expect
nothing from the populists or demo
crats or free silver republicans, and
we will lay for him from now on until
tbe next campaign. At that time we
propose to give the anti-Micchell re
publicans a touoh of high life, and you
just watch our motions. They will
resemble a Kansas cyclone and - a
Dakota blizzard all relied into one
package. Our knives are out and we
will koep them sharp from now on.
"Damee sir, I tell you Governor
Lord deserves the censure of all repub
licans, for he prevented organization
and put the republican party In a
hole from which it will have a lively
time scrambling."

for Governor Lord to make a selection.
Last Saturday the goyernor went to
Portland, and after a consultation be

Corbett lasting about an hour, de
livered to him tbe commission which
is to make Mr. Car bett-United States
senator, to fill the place made vacant
by the expiration of the term of Sena
tor Mitchell.
Henry W. Corbett needs no introduc
tion to the people of Oregon. He
came to Portland in 1851, and since
that time has been prominently before
the people of Oregon for almot-t half a
century. Mp. Corbett is 70 years of
age, still ia possested of all his men
tal faculties, though physically ia con
siderably broken down. He . re
presented Oregon in tho U. S. senate
from 1867 to 1873, and was an active,
enerpetic member. He is one of the
wealthiest men In the state, his for
tune being measured by the millions,
and he is connected with various bank
ing and 'transportation enterprises.
For years he has been vice-president
of the First National bank of Portland
and at present director of the O. R. &
N. Co., president of the Savings &
Trust Co., and is president and one of

New England Reptiles Mast
Their Vacation.
Whenever you say: "This is a splen
did season" to the Boston Journal's
snake editor, he shakes his head sor
rowfully and remarks: "Not a bit of it.
It's the worst season on record."
"Why, didn't you see the other day
that rattlesnakes had appeared a.
Exeter, N. H.?" he was asked by an in
quirer. "What of that?" was the reply.
"Would you consider that that was
worth being compared with the story
from the west about the man who
went down into an abandoned mine
and killed one hundred and thirty
three rattlesnakes, drank a quart of
whisky and earned one hundred dollars
in less than an hour?"
And the snake editor's eyes fairly
glistened at the thought of the ad
venture. "Don't you remember the eight-foot
snake found out at the Back Bay?"
"What is an eight-foot snake in Bos
ton to be compared with the big ser
pent stories coming from other parts of
the country. Ihere was the boa con
strictor who escaped from a cage and
hid in a sewer."
"Oh, that was old."
"No; that happened in Washington,
ana is voucneu lor. 'men there was
the duel between two jealous boa con.
strictors in a Brazilian forest, and the
two different stories about men barely
escaping being swallowed by pythons,
and the educated black snake which
milked a cow, and the man who caught
eight ground hogs and was attacked by
blacK snakes and had to throw the ani
mals away to appease the reptiles.
J. his was a long sentence and the
snake editor had to pause for breath,
but before the questioner could get in
a query, he resumed the catalogue.
Ihen there was the reappearance of
the sea serpent in the Pacific ocean,
and the man who eats rattlesnakes in
preference to spring chickens, and the
snake charmer who was being photo
graphed with his pets, when they went
on a strike and demolished the estate

two cases of people on tho California
coast who were seized by shall I say
ocotpuses or octopi? and almost killed,
No, this has been a splendid season for
snake stories in every section of the
country but New England, and it is

editor west, where there is something

ing requires a capital of $12,000,000 for
the building alone, and $3,000,000 for
the ground. Its purpose is also that of
an office building.
This building, while it may not oc
cupy a plot more than 200 feet square,
will extend with perfect safety up to a
height of 1000 fuet in the air. It ia 00
stories tall.
From various places along the build
ing strong steel ropes will form guys
reaching a block or so away, and firm
ly fastened to the . elevated railroad
structure or other available objects.
These are expected to save tbe build
ing should a heavy wind strike it.

Representative i Jennings of Wallowa
Blames Lord With Everything. -
Hon. C. E. Jennings of Wallowa
county, one of the members of the
Benson house who was arrested in
Portland by Sorgeant-at-Arms Holman
recently, as he was leaving the metropo
lis for his home, was interviewed the
other day by a" reporter of - th East
Oregonian on the train between Pen
dleton and Walla Walla, and to the
Files Pestered the .Fathers of the Repub
lic as They Created It.
Jefferson was fond of telling a story
which illustrates in a forcible manner
the importance that absurdly insignifi
cant matters may sometimes assume,
says the Philadelphia Press. When the
deliberative body that gave the world
the declaration of independence was in
session its proceedings were conducted
in a hall close to which was situated a
livery stable. The weather was warm.
and from the stable came swarms of
flies that lighted on the legs of the
honorable members and, biting
through the thin silk stockings then
in fashion, gave infinite annoyance. It
was no uncommon sight, said Jeffer
son, to see a member making a speech
with a large handkerchief in hand and
pausing at every moment to thrash the
flies from his thinly-protected calves.
The opinion of the body was not unan
imous in favor of the document, and
under other circumstances discussion
might have been protracted for days, if
not weeks, but the flies were intoler-
able, Efforts were made to find
another hall, free from the pests, but
in vain. As the weather became
warmer the flies grew worse, and the
flapping of handkerchiefs was heard
all over the hall as an accompaniment
to the voices of the speakers. In de
spair at last some one suggested that
matters be hurried so that the body
might adjourn and get away from the
mes. 1 here were a few mild protests,
but no one heeded tham, the immortal
declaration was hurriedly copied and,
with handkerchiefs in hand fighting
flies as they came, tho members hast
ened up to the table to Bign the
authentic copy and leave the flies in
the lurch. Had it not been. for the liv
ery stable and its inmates there is no
telling when the document wonld have
been completed, but it certainly would
not Pave been signed on the Fourth,
X&E UOMK MINSTKEL8.
They Made a Uooil Hit and Amused the
Audience.
Dalles playgoers will ever have
pleasant recollections of the entertain
ment given by tho Commercial and
Athletic Club's minstrels at the Vogt
last night. There was fun from be
ginning to end, and not a single hiich
to check interest in the show. - The
hall was filled to overflowing, and
when the first number came on there
was scarcely standi ug room.
The fun was begun by the appear
ance of Hampshire and Hartnctt, in
Irish characters, and so well did they
amuse tho audience that they were
called back the third time. They took
off the Celtic so well, had not their
hearers known otherwiso they would
have declared the two comedians were
just over from the Emerald Isles. Af
ter tho customary vegetable boquets
had been presented to those accom
plished commedians, Harry Morso, in
the character, "Madam Hotstuff,"
gave a skirt dance that was heartily
encored. Then Arthur Clarke and
Will Crossen appeared on the stago in
German characters, taking oil n boy
and girl just over from "My Fodder
Land," and had Emperor William
been privileged to have gazed upon
them he certainly would have claimed
them as his subjects. They were called
ba;k and executed a waltz that was not
altogether graceful but most amusing,
and merited the bog net of cabbage thai
was sent up from the gallery.
At the close of their dance tbe cur
tain fell, but before it appeared a most
bashful girl in bloomers, who chose
the euphonious cognomen of "Cissy
Sideways." She was six feet long,
blushing damsel, bedecked in flashing
colors, and it was some time before
the crowd could realize that the smil
ing uamsel was none ether than the
rising young attorney, Nick Sinnott.
Nick told all about how "we lauies do
at theclub," and sang "My Mama Told
Me So." most charmingly, and fully
merited the head of cabbage that was
presented, though he got even on the
donor by stating that the boys all lost
their hearts on girls like him but this
was the first one to lose his head ex
hibiting tho cabbage head.
When the audience haif ceased laugh
ing at "Miss Sideways." Prof. R.
Harry Lonsdale appeared, and after
wasting five minutes in getting tbe 20
yards of glove off his left hand, deliv
ered a lecture on the money question
that made the ablest financiers in the
city scratch their heads, and wonder if
he got all his information from "Coin's
Financial School." Before the logic
of Prof. Lonsdale's lecture had been
fairly weighed, the "four new coons in
town" Arthur and Charlie Clark, John
Hampshire and John Hartnett gave an
ocular demonstration of the little
pleasantry of relieving a hen roost of
its fruits. Then Prof. Love gave a
lovely little song, and responding to
an encore gave what he called a "ter
pentine" dance, a most graceful move
ment. - The first half of tbe entertain
ment closed with an encounter between
"Corbett" and "Fitzsimmons," In
which the latter was knocked out com
pletely.
While the scenes were being
changed, Prof. Birgf. Id's select orches
tra rendered "Life on the Mississippi" ;
and when the curtain again raised, the
26 minstrels were discovered in ebony
black with N. J. Sinnott as interlocu
tor, Frank French and John Hamp
shire as right end men, Arthur Clark
and John Hartnett on the left. The
looal gage Dorpctrateil by the eud men
were well received, and the songs that
were rendered by the special attrac
tions were exceptionally well received,
and each called for a hearty encore
which was promptly responded to by
each of the singers.
The musioal program rendered by
the minstrels was as follows:

It is to be hoped and is confidently
expected the new officers will be as ef
ficient as tho ones they will succeed.
If so tne affairs of The Dalles schools
will receive close attention indeed,
and will not suffer from lack of care
on tho part of the 6chool board. Dur
ing the past three years, Mr. Kinersly.
ua director, has devoted much time to
attending to the affairs of the school
district, and has been a careful and
painstaking official, and the. retiring
clerk, Mr. Jacobsen, by bis careful at
tention to the business of the district
and activity in makiag the enumera
tion, has been beyond question the
best clerk tho district has ever had.
Both gentlemen retire from office with
credit to themselves and with the as
surance that they have performed their
duties faithfullv.

Clumsiness in dancing has for a long
time been regarded as a most unpap-
qonable sin at the various royal and
imperial courts of Europe, where the
highly-polished and parquetted floors
of the palaces and the spurs which
form part and parcel of every full-
dress uniform render waltzing a mat
ter of some danger. At Berlin acci
dents of this character are said by
Vogue to have been so frequent until a
year ago that shortly after Christmas
fcmperor William summoned tho geni
era! commanding the various troops
stationed in and around Berlin and in
structed him to direct those officers
who were not able to dance properly to
abstain from attempting to do 6o at
imperial entertainments. Since then
young officers are nut through their
paces by their seniors and are obliged
to display a certain proficiency in pas
seuls around the nicssroora billiard
table before being allowed to dance at
court. On one occasion a court ball
at Berlin a young cavalry subaltern
incurred the anger of the late Prince
Frederick Charles by tripping np
his partner. The prince assailed the
young officer so bitterly that the late
Emperor Frederick, then only crown
prince, was obliged to intervene. At
the Viennese court, a young secretary
pi the Roumanian legation once fell so
unfortunately while dancing with one
of the archduchesses that he came
down in a sitting position on her face.
causing ner llapsburg nose to bleed.
It is scarcely necessary to add that he
left Vienna the next day. and. a
week later, obtained his transfer to
another post. The duke of Aosta.
