.4 FOOLISH CONTEST. The republicans in congress have notified those candidates who were defeated for a seat in that body, and who are desirous of con testing the election of their oppo nents, that they must rely upon the justness of their individual causes, and not upon the overwhelming republican majority. This is perfectly right and proper. It is a pity that Mr. Estee, the late republican candidate for governor of California, did not gauge Ins conduct by the same rule. Had he done so lie would not have in augurated a contest with his suc cessful opponent. Mr. Estee may get the ollice, but if he does it will be because he had the might in stead of the right on his side. The election went overwhelmingly re publican throughout the state, with the exception of Mr. Estee, and that he was not carried along with the tide was his own fault. A general suspicion that Mr. Estee was entirely too friendly to the Southern 1'aciiic was what left Il r. Estee in the shade; that it was, and not a fraud as he would now have the public believe. The Dalles Chronicle. The above article expresses our sentiments. It matters not how many congressmen were throwu out unjustly during the last session, in the language of the democratic boss of Tennessee, the republicans had better lose a dozen seats than to steal one. Mr. Estee was beaten on the face of the returns, and he should have resigned himself to his fate. The republican party of California should remember that "old hacks" will not work any longer, and that if they want to hold California, a republican state into the ranks, they must purge themselves of corporation influ ence. However, now that the supreme court has washed its hands of the matter and turned it all over to the state legislature, Estee may bo seated. But if he has nothing on his side but power, the masses will punish the whole party at the next election. As it is, the entire Htato is republican except governor. The number of demo cratic representatives to congress has been decreased, and this is enough without straining a point to get Hudd out. Tub Ga'otto onco more jogs the minds of our people as to the dire necessity of raisina more money for school purposes.

ITRGATORr AMI HY A MAX rtill PARADISE COMI'ABED HAS SEES MlltACLE I.N lil'KAL KKCK8SK3 OF IlOItOIHNO CKKATKS A SENSATION. (From tlic Evening News, Syracuse, N. V.) Albert Applebee was a very sick dird. He had been ailing fur months and Intd been compelled to remain home, nimble to attend to Ins bueinees. His friends stood or nat about tlio few email stores iu the village of Uorodino and dincnpsed his sad oouditinn. Appletiee was s oarpeuter mid a xood one too, but since bis strange malady overtook bira lie bad not shown any disposition to do any work. Lire bud lest its charms for him, he been me u misanthrope and lost iu eerytl.iiu(. IJisfrie;;di!advinedliim and the local doctors tried their ekill on him but it was of no avail. Altlioniib they no doubt diagnosed his oase correctly. Ue rrrw woree despite their eflorto. Then came a change, he entirely re covered his former self and soon went about bis work whistling as blithely a a lark. Now he iB just the same genial jovial fellow that he was before. This waH a surprise for everybody bad given him up for dead. His remarkable recovery bad made such a stir iu the small town and the townspeople were regarding it as bo miraculous that a "NewB" reporter was sent out to Uorodino to investigate. He irove over and found Mr. Applebeo hard at work on the roof of a bouse he whs building. When asked if he would mind relating his experience to a re porter Mr. Applehee expressed bis acquiesoeuce by ooming down to the ground. He Oame down the ladder with out showing uuy mum of his recent trouble and laughed wilh a good hearty laugh as he shook the reporter by the band with a squeeze which betokened muoh physical Btrength. "Well, it was just this way, began the carpenter, who is a good looking man ot about fifty summers. "Iu the fall of 18H0 I hud a siege of grip which took me by the heels and threwme Hat on my hack in bed. It was a pretty rough time for me as I was very sick and I never ex pected to go out again except feet first in a ooflin. lint I recovered after a long siokness but was left wilh an ailment which was quite as dangerous aud infinitely moro painful. I had scrofula iu my bead for two years and n halt or over aud there was sickening discharge from my right ear. I took about every medioiue known to the medical frater nity but could get no henelit. "I was also troubled with a severe pain in the stomaoh aud indigestion whioh made me feel that life was not worth living. Lust fall I began taking a medicine known as Dr. William's l'ink Tills for pale people which were recommended by a frieud whose wife had read of them iu some of the country papers. But I gave it a trial aud wiib surprised to find that it bene fited me. I tried more and persevered and nt last, thank God, I was oured. My ear has discontinued discharging and for the past three months I have been perfectly well. I make these statements merely beoauso I think the world should be acquainted with this remarkable remedy." Mr. Applehee finished his story aud climbed the ladder to resume his work, there wan no halting about his footsteps aud iu about as little time us it takes to tell it be was hammering shingles on the roof, sitliug there the picture of health. Several of Mr. Applebee's neighbors were seen by the reporter and they in tutu expressed their confidence in Dr. Williams' l'ink Pills ufler seeing the wonderful change they hud wrought on him. One said the cure was simply wonderful as the man bad lost his appe. tite and could not sleep nud was a total wreck. Ur.

Peculiar Formation of Itacolnmlte or Flexile Kauiistone. fieolnffists tell us that "one of the most marked and well-known charac teristics of stones and rocks in general is their extreme rigidity," but there are really some specimens that are mure flexile than wood, bending under the hlihtest pressure without break ing The best known and most abun dant of these flexile stones, says the St. Louis Kepublic, is itaeolumite, an elastic sedimentary deposit found chiefly in South America, but not un known in the United States, being- fre quently found in large quantities in the mountains of North and South Carolina, and occasionally in Georgia. The flexibility of itaeolumite is readily understood when the stone is subjected to a microscopic examination. All or dinary sandstones are rigid and brittle, but in itaeolumite the grains are ce mented by mica and sericite, which confer the flexible property to the stone as a whole. Viewed by a strong polarized light it is plain to be seen that each separate grain of sand in a slab of itrieolumite is surrounded by a cement of the flexile mica and sericite, and that veins of the same cement ramify in every direction, imparting to it a peculiar elasticity, a flake of such stone two feet in length and two inches thick "sagging" five inches in the middle when both ends are held up by some support.

These birds weigh nearly two pounds. They congregate in the bays iu winter in hundreds of thou sands, and in the spring fly away south to the nicks and islands on some deso late coast. I have seen them perched in thousands on some iceberg making its southern march in the spring. A. K.

It matters lot to me or to my neigh bors what cimpany or companies are furnishing tin present list of text books. They are gool enough, especially these bard times. The books are all better than those nsid in Idaho and Montana where I lived efore ooming to OregoD, And no new crmpanies are going to do any better by is in the way of prioe. What this stite wants are m ire good teachers who are walking disoiples of progress; who have their minds well drilled; who lave all of the real facts stored away fr use and who oan go to a blaokbourd uiu teach even w ithout a referenoe bock; wh. have not finished their educations at tha Willamette University or anywhere else, but who continue as stadeuts in the school room. I do hope that those iu newer will sit down on this proposed change of text books, and use their efforts to get a little more progressive, normal training injected into those who wield the destinies of the schools in Oregon.

Equal with the interest of those having claims against the government Is that of INVENTORS, who often lose the benefit of valuable inventions because of the incompetency or inattention of the attorneys employed to obtain their patents. Too much care cannot be exercised in employing competent and reli. able solicitors to procure patents, for the value of a patent depends greatly, if not entirely, upon the care and skill of the attorney. With the view of protecting inventors from worthless or careless attorneys, and of seeing that inventions are well protected by valid patents, we have re tained counsel expert in patent practice, aud therefore are prepared to Obtain Patents in the United States and all Foreign Countries, Conduct In terferences, Make Special Examinations, Prosecute Rejected Cases, Register Trade-Marks and Copyrights, Render Opinions as to Scope and Validity of Patents, Prosecute and Defend Infringement Suits, Etc., Etc.
