- When you ask an editor to suppress
an item of news because it does not
please you; then go and. ask your gro
cer to exclude pickles from his store
because you can't eat them, or your
butcher not to keep bologna because it
goes against the stomach. . There is
just as much fairness in one as the
other. News is an editor's stock in
trade.. So are pickles a grocer's and
bologna and nockwurst a butcher's.

audience at the court house last even
ing. Mr. Sharp is a pleasant and con
vincing speaker, and yery ably set

ficial to the organization, and -no doubt

It is an unfortunate thing that a
custom has been established requiring
the free distribution of intoxicating
liquors on election days, but there is
such a custom, and -it will remain in

demns it. The bad effects arising
from this practice was evidenced
yesterday when boys under age were
seen reeling on the streets thoroughly
drunk.
Some time ago a man by the nacre of
A. Brown was drowned at Lewiston,

went to Collinn today to take up
the remains and take them back to
Lewiston for burial.
The concert band discoursed some
excellent musio on the streets last
evening prior to Mr. Sharp's lecture,

the same as were given last summer.
The citizens of the city are anxious
for the Sunday concerts', and are ready
to meet the expenses. .

promply discharged. Mr. Moore was
in the city at the time Hill was robbed,
and had been waiting on the latter In
his room at the Umatilla House, but
there was nothing to connect him with
the robbery.
It is expected that from 125 to 150
delegates will attend the " Sunday
school convention to be held here next
week, and it is expected that the peo
ple of the city wiU give them free en
tertainment during their stay here.
The residents of The Dalles certainly
should take an interest in entertaining
the delegates as hospitably as possible,
and all whp are prepared to care for
them during the convention are re
quested to make the fact known to E.
H. Merrill.

do much for any town. One of two
things must be done run the thing
for all its worth: get up steam and
keep it up, or quit, slide out and let
nature take its course. If you want
business to come to your town, en
courage those who do come. If you
want a prosperous town, where people
eaa come who are disposed to make
homes, then do away with and bury
from sight all jealousy and spite and
work more for common prosperity and
mutual benefit. Wake up! Rub your
eyes, roll up your sleeves and go to
work. Do not work with fear and
trembling but take it for granted that
blood will tell. Leave results to them
selves, borrow no trouble, but all unite
to make it the biggest kind of a town.
Go to work.

Xo one cau tcii how high a tempera
ture man can cr.uu.re uutil he is sub
jected to the tt.&i.. The effect of an. in-tensely-hca-.-J
a.masp!:.re in causing
loath has been Lut little studied.
'Some yenrs s.nce," says Dr. Taylor,
the eminent jurisprudent, '"I was con
sulted in one case m which the captain
ot a steam vcssjl was charged with man
slaughter f jr cau.ir.',' a man to be lushed
within a s.vovi distance? of the stoke
hole of the f umcce. The man died in a
few hours, apparently from the effects
of his cxposuie. Yi t ths engine rooms
of steamers in the trop'.cs have been
observed to have a temperature as high
as 140, and engineers after a time be
come habituated to this excessive heat
without appearing to suffer materially
in health. In certain manufactories the
body appears to acquire a power, by
habit, of resisting these high tempera
tures; still, it has been proved that
many suffer severely. In a report on
the employment of children (London)
it is stated that in a glass manufactory
a thermometer held close to a boy's
head stood at 130 degrees, and as the in
spector stood near to observe the in
strument his hat actually melted out of
shape. Another boy had his hair singed
by the heat, end said that hia clothes
were sometimes singed, too, while a
third worked in a temperature no less
than 150 degrees. Amid tbis tremen
dous beat they carry on work which re
quires their constant attention. They
are incessantly in motion."
In the Turkish bat ha higher tempera
lures than this have been noted, but
there is reason to believe that eerioiisi
symptoms have been occasionally pro
duced in persons unaccustomed to them,
and that in one or two cases death has
resulted.- All sudden changes from a
low to a high temperature are liable to
cause death in aged 'persons or those
who are suffering from organic dis:
eases, In attempting tq breathe ait1
heated to temperatures varying from
ISO to 200 degrees there is a sense of
iuffocation, with a feeling of dizziness
and other symptoms indicative of an
effect on the brain, and the circulation
is enormously quickened. An inquest
was held on the body of a stoker of an
gcean steamship. He had een by irada
a grocer and was not accustomed to
excessive heat. While occupied before
the engine furnace he was observed to
fall suddenly on the floor in a state of
insensibility. When carried on deck
it was found he was dead. All that wis
discovered on a post-mortem examina
tion was an effusion of serum into rhe
ventricles of the brain, It has now be
aome one of the recognieed causes of
death in tbis countrty. In some cases a
person may sink and die from ex
haustion, or symptoms of cerebral dis
turbance may continue for some time
and the case ultimately prove fatal.
Death from sunstroke, when it is not
immediately fatal, is preceded by some
well-marfesd symptoms, euch as weak
ness, giddiness, headache, disturbed vi
sion, flushing of the face, followed by
oppression and difficulty of breathing,
and in some cases stupor, passing into
profound coma. - The skin is dry and
hot and the heat of the body is much
greater than natural.
Walk slowly and don't fret, apd you
will not experience anything of that
sort. Philadelphia Time.

Nebraska for feeding purposes. The

STRANGE PUo i OFFICES, '
Queer Arrangements Seen In Otner Farts
of the World.
Until quite recently the postal system
in Persia was very loosely conducted.
It was under the superintendence of a
minister of posts, who, however, does
not work the system himself. Each
road is farmed to Borne merchant pr
wealthy person, who pays a certain sum
to the minister for the privilege, and
makes as much money out of the busi
ness as he can.
On the south coast of Patagonia is the
most remarkable postal service in the
world. Closo to the post is a large sign
post with the inscription: "Post Office."
Attached by chains to the foot of the
sign post is a strong chest, which has
served as a post oCce, master, clerk, all
in one, for many years. The ships pass
iDg through tbe Magellan straits Bend
a boat to tbe shore to fetch any letters
that may be addressed to their places of
all, and at the same time to leave any
letters they may wish to have taken in
other directions.
In a small group of islands off the
south coast of Iceland the islanders have
a bottle post, which depends mainly on
the wind. When the wind blows from
the south they put their letters into a
well-corked bottle. To insure delivery,
a plug of tobacco or a cgar is put in
side, and people on the mainland are
usually on the lookout for and ready to
deliver the letters so dispatched, in re
turn for the inclosed remuneration.
There appears to be a tendency
among wool raisers to bold on to their
wool this season, hoping that the
settlement of the tariff question by
congress will result In higher p ices
prevailing in the near future. For
tbis hope there teems little founda
tion, for already the importations of
foreign wools have been unusually
heavy this year, and both warehouses
and mills are pretty well filled, hence It
makes little difference what action
congress takes, as wool cannot go very
high within the next few months.
rhe wooi raiser who is in a position t)
hold his clip for a year, and can do so
without too great expense for storage
and insurance, may profit by so doing.
But the wool owner who is paying in
terest on money cannot expect to
profit by holding his wool a year, for ,
even the raise that may come in that
time by the enactment of the tariff will
hardly be more than 10 per cent.
As to the probable prices that will
prevail at any time this season, a well
posted wool buyer gave it as his opin
ion the other day that they would no
range higher than average prices of
year ago, for as he said, the majority
of wool buyers are not buying to store
but with the view of selling their wool
to manufacturers before another clip
snail be placed upon the market, there
lore they will not pay more than they
can realize fi om tae factories at pres
ent or within the near future.

The crop outlook throughout the
county was beginning to look rather
serious until Monday, when the clouds
were opened and spilled their moisture
upon tne parched earth in' copious
showers. A week later much of the
grain would have been past saving,
as in many places it had begun to show
the effects of drouth, but coming just
as it did, there is very little grain any
where but now will yield a fair crop,
and in many sections ic will be the
heaviest yield ever known. The wain
is easily worth two dollars an acre to
every acre of wheat it reached, and
will also he beneficial to most fruits
and vegetables.

'Barrel kites" are the novel invention
of Miss Nellie Eosa, of Fruit Vale, Cal
says the New York World. Three
months ago she demonstrated their
practicability, and since then hag
proved, as she claims, that they fly
higher than any other kites ever made
on the Pacific coast. A recent visitor
to what Miss Eose calls her "kitery"
saw simply a very clean and neatly'
whitewashed back yard. Against some
deserted henroosts leaned some queer
cloth and bamboo objects that looked
like flattened balloons with the ends
knocked out. The largest were five feet
high by four feet broad, and they were
of all colors. The string used in flying
them is about two miles long.
The young kite-Uyer, who holds that
every woman should have a hobby and
who thoroughly enjoys hers, makes all
her own kites. Then she flies nine or
ten. at once, to the great edification of
the surrounding neighborhood and to
the delight of the small boys, who are
always willing to help haul them in.
Each kite is named, and "McKinley"
and "Grover" compete with those bear
ing less famous names to see which can
climb the-highest. Barrel-kite flying
is said to be as pretty es it is success,
jful, and California's champion kite-
flyer wears her distinction very grace
fully. .- .
