Violent Intlueiira In Snellen.
The iDfluenza in ratling ver)- violently
all over Swedeu. Even Id oold Lapland
it kills the people like flies. Ia Strom
al adt almost every other person is down
with it, nnd the death rate grows alarm
ingly larger every day. In many cities
the Bohools are closed on aeoouut of the
sickuess. The high sohool of Strengnoes
is shut tip, the principal and nearly all
the teaohers being down with influenza.
The bishop of Strengnoes also is very
ill.
Tbe Emlgratioa From CopeottagtD.
Daring the last year, 12.624 persons
emigrated to Atnerioa from Copenhagen.
Of these, 6,278 were from Denmark,
3,242 from Sweden, and 1,183 from other
countries. Most of the people left with
the Thingvalla line, but a great number
made the journey via England. Two
bnndred and ibirty-niue Mormons omi
grated during the year, a muoh smaller
number as compared with the records of
previous years.
Infanticide in Chrlrtlnnia.
A sohool teacher of Christiauia has
been found guilty of infautioide. She is
a good woman of good tatnily, and was
engaged to a pbvsioian. She secretly
gave birth to a obilil, which she killed by
cutting its throat. The case liaa created
a f;reat sensation.
New Biulillrs Material.
Mr. Itiohard Sundell, a young Swedish
sculptor, has made a great invention, it
is supposed. He bag for some time ex
perimented with plaster of paris to pre
pare it for use as a building material,
tie means to use large ohuuks of plastor
ot paris as hard and durable as atone und
causing a house constructed of this ma
teria to look as though it were a palace
of marble. A house built of plaster of
parts has the advantage of beiug oool in
summer time and warm during the
winter.
Crown Prince In St. Peterabarg.
The Crown Prince of Sweden and Nor
way baa taken a trip to St. Petersburg.
During his el ay there he visited the
oathedral of tbe fort Poter and Paul, and
laid a wreath on Alexander IPs grave.
Then he visited St. Petersburg's other
two oathedrals, and heard in one ot them
a mass for the late Prinoe Konstantin.

The Wool Market.
The local market is inaative and lower.
Valley is quoted at 1517o per lb, and
Eastern Oregon at from 9 to lie, accord
ing to shrinkage. All markets are more
r less demoralized, the decline beiug
due to heavy imports from Australia.
Tho Uoston Daily Advertiser, March 21,
has the following: "In the last three
.lays two Amerioan ships have arrived
in Boston from distant foreign ports.
On Monday the Great Admiral oame
into port from Melbourne with 5,840
bales of wool averaging 500 lbs. per bale,
and tbe Exporter from Melbourne with
5,800 bales. The value of these two
cargoes, duty paid, ia about $1,600,000,
and the duty on them at 11a per lb.
imount to $000,000. Three more cargoes
ire now on the way to Boston from Mel
bourne." These oargoes amount to
ibout 1,800 bales of 500 lbs. each, or
3,000,000 lbs.'. In addition to the forego
ing, there are 8 vessels en route to Bos
ton from foreign ports with onrgoes com
posed principally of wool, and these
immense supplies arrived and on pas
sage are chiefly responsible for the de
cline. Seven mouths ago these wools
would have fetched 71o uer lb. sooured,
while tbe price today is b'5o, causing a
loss to purchasers of 3 to 4c per lb.

to do the work. Tuke it auoording to

ALLIANCE COLUMN
Submitted by a subscriber.
Shall the people take tbe corporations
or shall the corporations take tbe peo
ple?
All people are loyal to the principles
of majority rule so long as they are a
part of the majority; but when they are
in the minority they sometimes find it
hard to give in.
The partisan press are assiduously at
work trying to hold tbe attention of the
people to a discussion ef the tariff, silver
ooinage, and southern outrages. But it
will not work this time. "You can fool
all the people some of the time and some
of the people all tbe time, but you can
not fool all the people all the time." The
"hayseeds" and "clodhoppers" are just
now the hardest people in tbe country to
tool.'
The peoplo's party is under great obli
gations to the old party orgaus. The
democratic papers are proving very
olearly that tbe people cannot expect
any good from the republioan party.
The republican papers are proving with
equal clearness that the democratic
party is worthless. Hence the general
stampede.
The Alliance Mnuifesto.
"Whon, in the course of bntnau events,
it becomes necessary for one people to
dissolve the political bonds which have
united them to another aud to take for
themselves tbe fiee and equal itutions
among the nations of the earth to which
tho laws ot nature and nature's God en
title them, a decent respect for the rights
of others demands that they make known
the causes which impel them to the sep
aration." The demand for prompt and decisive
action by the Amerioan people to day is
as great as it was when the ringing
quotation above were peuned. The oppres
sion of King George and his laokeys was
no greater, no more unjust, ho more uu
indurable than is the oppression of the
triumphant plutocracy and its hirelings
upon the wealth producers of this last
decade of the nineteenth oentury.
These are no "piping times of peace."
Trusts, combines, and monopolies, black
lists, shut-downs, and lock-outs, boyoots,
strikes, and riots these cannot go on
indefinitely. War is upon us. The
money power baa its iron heel upon the
necks ot the workers, and its bony fingers
about their tbroatn. There is do time
for delay.
; i
The llenuty of Free Competition.
The followiug Mem, clipped from one
of our own dailies, is a good example of
the beauty of the present competitive
system. Think of what an otitruge it is
that a man who has led an active life,
been a producer, and of actual benefit
to the world, should, iu his old age, be
forced to ask tor charity solely because
he was not smart or unscrupulous
enough to make a success us a money
getter and a money boarder: "Henry
Hudson, au aged pauper, oalled upon
the county commissioners yesterday aud
asked them pitifully to forward him to
Portland, Or., where he could obtain em
ployment. The commissioners, after
looking narefully into tho matter, onm
plied with the old man's request. Hud
son is a shoemaker by trade, but of late
years has been aftlioted with asthma so
that he cannot sleep lying down, and is
obliged to work standing. He told the
board that he bad been ottered work at
Portland."
IONE ITEMS.
The usnal fine weather was side
tracked tor a day during the past week
to allow a wild train s clear track.
The wild train iu question was loaded
with wind, dust, onytises, sunbonnetsand
almost every other movable article that
one could thiuk of.
Your correspondent had not tbe nerve
to face suoh a storm, therefore he an
chored his conveyance safely in tbe lee
of Farmer Allyn's residence and waited
patiently for fairer weather.
It's au ill wind that blows nobody
good, anil tho next morning as Frank
Holland was making a survey of the
premises, he found that au immigruut
from some nameless shore bad drifted
into his home. The little fellow was on
the way to Suunyside dairy. Frank's
folks have supplied the little pilgrim
with suitable raiment, and have other
wise made overtures that bid fair to in
duce the Btranger to settle in the neigh
borhood. The Gazette's efforts are always
crowned with success, and tbe conserva
tive readers will please note that tbe
recent move to iuduoe immigration is
already beginning to bear good fruit.

The democrats oame baok from the

demonstrates their power to make the
best of it. Tho ineotlug was harmonious

The quadrangular political contest
whioh is ooming bids fair to bo tbe live
liest ever seen iu the history of Morrow
county. After tbe republican, demo
oratio, allianoe and fourth party, or buoh
elors' oouveutions, if sorao one will only
suggest it, an independent ticket oan be
placed iu the field, and than every man
in the county will have a chance to vote
for himself.
Would like to suggest tho propriety of
a new party and would favor calling it
the "dquare Deal." That would, as the
name suggests, be something new and
uniquo, and would oertainly oatoh a few
votes,
James Nunamaker has been favorably
mentioned as c andidute for oounty judge.
Jim bas tbe bottom necessary to holding
down a judicial bench, and nothing short
ot a cyclone divoroe oaso would disturb
his equanimity .
A newspaper man reports that the
gale a day or two uinoe blew in two the
neck-yoke of his vehicle. Good oouits
of bad, sometimes, and a local rueobanio
is thereby busy. He oarveth a new yoke
from a feuoe rail.
The enterprising stooknien Imve about
oonoludod that theoayuse rauiit bo.
Active measures are being taken to rid
tho country of this pest, and it was the
purpose of those interested iu raisiug
good stock to meet iu tho vicinity of
Wells Spring today for that end. Owing
to tho inclement weather there were but
tew in atteudunoe. There will, however,
be a general "round-up" ut the same
plaoe next Hauday, which will result in
preventing the spread of this pest any
farthsr.
The plains are eaten bare by a horde
of stump-headed worthless oritters, and
if no other moans will effeot their ex
tinction there should be a drive and a
killing, similar to tho rabbit drives of
California.
The suggestion of a board of trade at
Heppner is a move in tho rigbtdirectlon.
Let it be a board of trade of Morrow
county as well.
Much good can be accomplished hy
the united effort of our progressive busi
nosa men. Would like to suggest the
propriety of a board of immigration as
well, if there is not ouo in the oounty
already. Let evory one interested iu the
growth of our fair oouuty meet ut some
time and plaoe, which you can mention,
for that worthy purpose. I am satisfied
from my knowledge ot tho spirit that
rules throughout the rural districts that
there would be a full representation from
every preoinct in Morrow county if it
were known that such a meeting would
result hi the organization of a board for
the diffusion of knowledge concerning
our county.
There are many important features ot
this subjuot too many to d incline in
your crowdod space just now.
Niiine a Uute and plaoe for meeting.
Let there be a discussion as to methods.
Insist upon a full attendance from each
ilistriot in tbe county. Not only; must
immigration be turned this way, but
committees must be appointed to help
newcomers in securing a desirable loca
tion. The farmers in their respective
difltriols know best where vnoant land
is, and can and will cheerfully show
strangers around. Let them come for
ward and publicly manifest their dispo
sition to advance this most worthy
oausH. Let them deeido up iu some good
practical methods for tho fmprovuinentnt
our little o immonwealth.
