supposed the water bad frozen, and

thought of the water being shut off
sooner.

instating that the attorneys for For

venue. The action of the court was
to overrule the demurrer to the in
dictment, and give notice to tbe at
torney's as to the. date when the case
would be set for trial. The attorney's
for the defendant are not decided as
to whether they will move for a change
of venue, but ia all probability will
offer uo objection to the case being j
tried In this county.

Tba New Oregon Senator Had to Stand the
rirst Day.
Senator Simon found himself In
rather an embarassing position on tbe
fltut dav of the session. He couldn't
find a seat among tbe republicans and
would not sit with the democrats. A
Washington special of tbe 6th says:
When Joseph Simon, tbe new sen
ator from Oregon, was formally
sworn into office, he found that there
was no seat for him in tbe senate.
After he bad qualified, signed the
roll and reeeived coneragulatlona, be
was turned over to the sergeant- at-
arms, who was expected to provide
him with a desk and a seat. Tbe
senatorsbip in Orejron has been
vacant so long that in tne nrrange-
meets of seats no place was made for
Senator Simon on the republican side
of the chamber.
Tbe new senator resented tbe sug
gestion that he sit on the democratic
side . The reuublican senators con
sulted and it was suggested that Sen
ator Butler, the populist from North
Carolina, might be willing to move
over to the democratic side. The
North Carolina man had tried that
side early in the day, and was stung
by a chance remark that in view of
the race troubles in his state he would
hereafter Identify himself with the
democratic party, so he refused to give
up his present seat, and Senator
Simon is still' seatless.
BILL UN TUB WOBTHWE9T.
President of the Great Northern Says It
Has a Brilliant future.
James J. Hill, president of the Great
Northern, wa9 in Portland yesterday,
and to a Times reporter said:
'It would not surprise me," and
in fact I make the prediction that
Portland will be a' city with a
population of a. quarter of a million
within ten years or fifteen years at the
outside. Your people should be a unit
in favor of the acquisition of the
Philippines and the expansion of trade
in tbe Orient. It means a rapid de
velopment of the Pacific Northwest
unequalled in " tbe history of the
world's progress. Congress must
enact such laws as will enable the in
auguration of regular lines of steam
ers and sailing vessels between Pacific
coast ports and Asiatic points, it
would mean the opening of a market
for all the products of this section. It
would mean that there would be a full
and growing demand for all the sur
plus produce raised in the states of
Oregon and Washington. The busi
ness of transportation is the key to
prosperity. Give tbe farmers a mar
ket bring it to them or them to It
and you have solved the problem of
good times. What is needed is a sub
sidy of say one dollar per ton and
lines of merchant ships would be es
tablished that would make daily clear
ances from Portland and Puget Sound
ports.

Tone cr Pianos.
Toner was tuning and singing a song,
To people of Grass Valley, that wasn't
very long.
But the truth wasn't in it, and they
found it out e'er long.
So he left for another climate, and now
calls The Dalles his home.
A great traveling salesman Toner

that he shall remain in one town "a
few days only."
But the writer don't wonder, for with
his wind stories, he
Cannot last much longer here than at
Grass Valley, and so it must be.
Now a' few plain words to the public
at large.
For I deem it my duty to see no one

Snohomish, Monday night, and stole
goods to tbe amount ot $600. : Tbe
burglars took tbe glass out of tbe win
dow and took the goods to. the river,

. WO.OOO. . The daoiaga to the building
was probably 120,000. All tbe county

Tbe police of Seattle and tbe mem
bers of the Salvation Army are at outs.
It has all come about through com
plaints that the Army is blocking the
streets and doorways with their open-

the Army were arrested Monday.
Tbe case promises to be a hard fought
one.
George Barton, a Trask river trap
per, says the Tillamook Herald,
caught a curious animal in one of his
traps. The animal, or a duck, was
about three feet wide by one and one-
half feet long. Its oaek was covered
with feathers. The stomach held a
flush ot scales. Its tail was like a fish,
and Its bead was ornamented with a
bill and comb, while its forefeet were
webbed, and the bind ones were just
like a dog's.
A Woman's Display of Love.
One of the flippant superficial women
of tbe new school of fiction-writers
says that very few men are better for
having women show bow much they
care for them.
The proposition Is. so locselv stated
that it is capable of several construc
tions, but neither will bear the test of
experience
It Is not clear whether the type of
man in question is the object of inter
est to a number of women, or whether
be is a husband whose care is the ob
ject of a wife's demonstrations. In
either case the writer is mistaken
There is no man more to be envied
than be who not only has his wife's
love, out is permitted to enjoy her
manifestation of it. A silent and de
monstrative self-satisfied love is as in
valuable as the gold which is yet at
Klondike in its undeveloped ore bed.
Its intrinsic value may be great, but
it is free from the nature of inate ob-
curity, it confers no blessing. - What
gratification would It be to a man to
know that a far-off woman cared for
him if the affection were never to be
displayed in propinquity by words or
actions? It would be not a blessing,
but a life's desert, if it were not a.
companied by the hope of eventual
fruition in companionship.
The most beautiful feature of a
woman's love is tbe varied and loyal
effort it makes to demonstrate its
strength and singleness of purpose, by
never ceasing expressions in attention,
such as no other relation can afford.
The affections, too, are as subject to
the law of development and supplv
under demand, as tbe physical quali
ties are. Love lying dormant does not
thrive, it alternates, contracts and
diminishes. . Love expands as it is
called upon fjr greater sacrifices. It
is so notorious and universal as to af
ford a truism, "that a husband who
gives his wife most anxiety and care is
usually the most fondly and unselfishly
loved." This, of course, does not
prove that the husband always be
comes better from the lavisbment of
affection, yet it is true that more men
are ruined, and far more homes broken
np, through the absence of a wife's
love than through the presence of an
active, care-giving affection. Some
men, like the late statesman and
premier of England, "Dlsraele," are
so constituted that love is only
secondary with him.
It is vt ry rarely that a man is un
moved by a woman's affection or de
votion. In a lesser or greater degree
the influence is always to be seen or
felt. Unfortunately, the kind of re
turn such devotion seeks is not always
accorded the woman. Tbe nature of
women is even more varied than that
