"Romeo and Juliet," will be put on at

a perfect Romeo. The play in the

purely an American play, full -of life

by all classes.
- The Prineville Review says that Jeff
O'Kelly, while out hunting on Mill
creek, in Crook county, tracked a bear
into a small save. Jeff went up to the
opening and saw bruin, when he fired
and killed the animal. The opening
was small, so he had to crawl in. He
then went in and was dragging the an
imal out when another ono ran out
and in a few minutes returned. Jeff
had not let go of his gun in the mean
time, so he floorod the second one, and
going in after ' that' he discovered a
third one and a well directed shot laid
that out also.
We have been handed a communica
tion defending the bill -introduced by
Senator Dufur requiring owners of
steam threshers to execute a bond in
demnifyingowners of grain from dam
age by fires that may occur from
threshing machines while operating
on their lands, but at present withhold
publication. At present there is no
probability of the bill becoming a law,
since there is no legislature to enact it,
nor is there a probability of a session
in the near future. Should a special
Bession be called, we will give the ar
ticle space,-together with such com
ments as may seem just.

The Statesman and tne Merchant. '
There are people in this world who
are short sighted enough to bolieTe
that their interests can be best pro
moted by grasping and clinging to all
they can get, yet, as a general thing, it
will be found, other things beingequal,
that he who is most liberal, is most
successful in business. It is an ever
lasting fact that there can be no per
manent prosperity or . good feeling
Where benefits "are not reciprocal.
There are merchants as there are
great statesmen, and there are small
merchants as there are small politi
cians, and the difference between the
great and the Bmall is very much the
same in both professions. The small
politician works by the day and sees
only the small opportunities before him
and the small merchant simply looks
for the next dollar. The statesman, o a
the other hand, is master of the situ ft
tion, because he understands the I r in'
ciples which control events, and Che
great merchant does the same tt i ng,
His business is not a mere matte. of
barter, but a science and an art. He
studies the general laws of tra ile,
watches conditions,' investigates pr 5s
ent needs, foresees future wants ai d
adapts his business to the condition t ' ,

One of the members of the emi
nently successful firm of A. M. Wil
liams & Co., said the other day, the
more he studied life the more clearly
he saw that it was all done on business
principles. Promptness, thoroughness,
courage, honesty and liberality are
wrought Into its- every fibre. These
are exactly the principles that have
proved such productive seeds for
Messrs. A. M. Williams & Co., who al
ways treat their big business from a
statesman point of view.
Forethought, and .. judgment have
certainly figured In the recent buying
of their splendid spring stock of
clothing now ready for the people
Liberality controls their underselling,
and honesty rules over their "white"
treatment of customers. The K. N. &
F. Co. clothing is a leading feature of
tbeir's, a make .famous for style, ser
vice and satisfaction, and worn by
leaders In professions, society and
every trade, from Maine to California
and from Canada to Texas the most
repteablo dealers. Surely cannot the
city of The Dalles claim A -M. Wil
liams & Co. ' as the statesmen of
merchants? .' -
Tuesday the body of a man was
found lying under a tree near the road
at the head of Dry Hollow, some four
miles from The Dalles, - and was
brought to Crandall & Burgett's
undertaking parlors by Coroner "Butts,
where an inquest was held. -From all
appearances the man had sat down,
leaning against the tree, and had de
liberately fired a bullet from a 32-cali
ber, six-chambered revolver into his
bead, the ball entering just above the
right ear. When found the body was
reclininer upon Xhe erround, the left
hand upon his breast and the right by
his side, the pistol on the ground
underneath his right hand. No papers
or books were found on tho body by
which it could be identified, the only
articles in his pockets being a pencil,
a comb and $1.70 in silver. Of the
many wno viewed the body at tne
undertaking rooms, none have been
able to identify the deceustd. though a
number have seen him about The
Dalles occasionally since about tho
middle of October last. Tho findings
of the coroner's jury were as follows:

able to identify said bo3y, either from
bur own personal knowledge or from
the knowledge of any one who has so
far viewed the remains, and for the
further information ofr-the public we
herewith submit a description of the

lighten us, which is as follows:

REPORT OF EXPERT.
To the honorable board of directors
of school district No. 12, of Wasco
county, Oregon.
Gentlemen: As requested by you, I
have made an examination of the books
kept by E. Jacobsen, your retiring
clerk, and beg to submit the following
report. The receipts have been made
up from three sources,
First State and county apportion
ment.
second Special tax.
Third Amounts received for tui
tion, and for sundry sales of school
furnishings.
I have compared all items charged
against the district by the county
treasurer, which cover classes 1 and
for 1S9-1 and 1895, and have fovjjd only
one discrepancy as shown in accom
panying statement. The special tax,
prior to 1S94, wa9 collected by the
school clerk, and the amounts ac
counted for compare with the stubs of
receipt book with one exception; where
the clerk takes to account $2.50 for
which' there is no stub.- This amouut
is allowed to stand,' as the clerk admits
its collection. The collections under
class 3 have been made with the knowl
edge and assistance of Professor Gavin,
your principal of The Dalles schools,
wnose certificate as to their correct
ness appears herewith.
All charges for disbursements have
been compared with the warrants au
thorizing same. The vouchers have
been found genuine, and the charges
correct with two exceptions as shown
in statement above referred to.
The manner of keeping the accounts
has been admirable, and the records
are clear, definite and satisfactory.
Respectfully,
F. E. Bhonson.

says the regonian, and it ie under
stood thrt most, if not all, of the
countior , in the state will follow suit
and wl thold the state taxes. . '
Th , various counties are nearly "all
in f .ebt and paying interest. The
rea on for thie proposed action is
lar gely that, as the secretary of state
h ,s decided that he will issue no state
'warrants, the state tax money would
accordingly only remain idle in the
j vaults of the state treasurer. Different
county boards have about concluded
that it would be better to use the 3tate
tax for 1896 in paying up the debts
which the counties owe and reimburse
the state from future taxes to be col
lected after the legislature had met
and passed an appropriation bill. As
the legislature will probably not meet
for two years, the county governments
would have the use of the state tax
money during that period.
It has not been decided to withhold
all of the money, but tb pay over to
the state treasurer enough to defray,
the - urgent necessities of ' the state
government, or abou 10 per cent of
taxes collected. Judge Gray, of
Astoria,' bas mailed a circular letter to
all of the county judges, requesting all
favorable to withholding the state tax
to meet at the parlors' of the Perkins
hotel;- Portland, Thursday. " Judge
Northup bas received some letters up
on the subject from other counties,
and, independent of what action others
may- pursue, Multnomah's judge has
determined not to pay over the state
tax- . .

Again we would call the attention of

to the condition of roads, and the pos

steel road plows, which can be used to
excellent advantage at this season of
the year, just as tho mud begins to dry
If these plows wjarertiseSnal the rroads
now-, tne mud as It-'begias to dry could
be dragged Into and till np all holes

Don't Kill the Birds.
Every youth who is possessed of a
target rifle or as air gun must of course
find something to shoot at, and natur
ally the first song-bird that makes its
appearance in the spring furnishes an
attractive target, but even the boy
with a gun should consider that-the
bird loves life, and by its happy sonss
makes life pleasanter for all creation,
hence he should desist from killing it.
More than this, some song-birds are
protected by statutory law, a penalty
belngttached for willfully destroying
them. So, boys, train your guns cn
something else, and let the little birds
live.' - - V . .
