Thursday, July 27, 1899.
Unfortunate affliction restricts
our reply to attack on the charac
ter of the Gazette editor. That
we must defend later on, and will
draw comparison, if our cootempo
iary, as we earnestly hope, re
covei s from his deplorable afflic
tioD. President McKinley is much
interested in the daily reports re
ceived at the war department from
the recruiting officers and greatly
pleased at the promptness with
which men are enlisting, the
- average is nearly 400 a day, for
the hard service known to be be
fore them in the Philippines, al
though he is not surprised. He
has an abiding faith that the
patriotism of Americans is strong
enough to promptly meet every
call that it may beoome necessary
to make it. It is now certain that
the tan new regiments of volun
teers will be recruited in time to
be sent to General Otis as soon as
ha can use them, which will not
be untill after the rainy season. is
over in the Philippine?.
Director Roberts, of the
United States Mint, has just re
turned from a trip through! the
middle west lie said of what ha
observed: "Money is plentiful
and the west seems to have all of
its share. In fact, there is bo
much money that Nebraska banks,
for instance, are competing for
commercial paper in Chicago, with
interest at a low rate. I do not
think this has ever occurred be
fore. Heretofore, the western
banks have never had too much
money, and have had to borrow
from Chicago aud the east.
Money is now going from the west
to the east, and this renders the
money market in the eaBt easy.
Therefore, American money is
going to Europe, where interest is
higher. There is not much talk
of politics in the west. The gen
firal understanding is that Presi
dent McKinley and Mr. Bryan
will be re-nominated. Mr. Mc
Kinley will carry more western
states than he did three years ago,
and will obtain a much larger
majority in Iowa than before.
Many democrats who voted for
Bryan told me that Ihey were
satisfied with the situation, and
vote for the re-olection of Mo
Kiuley." 77 K REGIMENTS RETURN.
The writer was present at tha
lauding of the Oregon Volunteers
at fjnn Fraucisco, and witnessed
their march from the city front to
the Presidio. The royal reception
tendered the returning soldiors by
the San Franciscans must have
been Bejn to be properly appreoi
ated. A hundred thousand people
along the line of march shouted
themselves hoarse and greeted the
heroes with waving banners and
bouquets of flow ere. However, as
the troops marohed by. there was
a deeper feeliug that overcame tha
assembled hosts and people, aud
the cheering somewhat oeased, and
many an eye was filled with tears
and many a silent prayer was off.
ered up in gratitude for the
Boldiers' safe return, and the
tears were shed for those who were
left behind. What a joyous wel
come, yet what a sad spectacle, as
they marched with measure tread
through the streets, looking Deith
vr to the right or to the left. On
pvsry face was pictured the de
privatioiiH aud HiifforingH which
they had undergone.
Those who had left us as boys,
their cheeks yet blushing from
mothers', sisters' and sweethearts'
kisses merged into men by the
cruel test in the crucible of war.
War was no lougar a holiday to
them, but on each face was the
vetrean look that tells tha world
that they only knew to do or die.
On each face ona could see the
needs of old age already planted
while the recollections of tha toys
of childhood could hardly yet
have been effaced. Spoiled chil
dren call you them? No, heroes,
everyone. They have done their
duty, each heroioally, manfully.
Worn and weary thev returned
and asked no paradise but rest.
Ha, who could have wished them
to remain longer upon tba crowded
transports must be leas than man.

MAN A HABITUAL LIAR.
"Through its emphasis of the
superlative our age is in danger of
losing all power to tell the truth,"
writes Bev. Newell D wight Hillis,
D. D., of "The Diffusion of Happi
ness Through Conversation," in
the Augnst Ladies' Home Journal.
"The modern collegian has reached
such a state of culture that the
positive and comparative degrees
are unknown. It is no longer pos
sible for the schoolgirl to find
either an adjective or an adverb
to express her ecstasy of feeling.
Abstience and sobriety in speech
are rapidly passing away.
"David Swing once expressed
the fear that through excess in the
use of adjectives our generation
would lose all sense of proportion
and symetry in the statement of
facts. He noted that the adjec
tives most loved by our age are
in themselves gross exagerations.
In studying the history of lan
guage he found that very early
men began to say that 'the sun
went down in a bed of gold; the
moon turned all things to silver;
the eye darted forth flames; the
face was brighter than the sun
Having used such expressions for
twenty years man awakens to find
himself a habitual liar. We must
also note that the modern schools
of wit does not deal in the pure,
delicate humor of Sydney Smith
or Charles Lamb, but for its
effects depends upon gross ex
agerations and word-pilings.
Thus, not only the playground
and schoolroom, but the papers
and books also, through extrava
gances, are teaching men to strain
language to the very uttermost.
In literature that style is best
which has most abstinence, for
swearing adjectives and adverbs,
and dealing in tha simplicities.
That character also is finest which
is simple, and founded on frank
ness and truthfulness."
CONTROVERSY HETTLED.
Dr. N. U. Blalook Pronuaaoei the Three
Cane Smallpox.
Tbe dissection arising from tbe dig
nosis of tbe three cngei of smallpox by
Dra. Mu8words and MoFaul prompted
ao roe conservative buaioeaa men to aend
to Walla Walla for Dr. N. Q. Blalook,
wbo ia personally known to many Id
Heppner, and whose word is above sus
picion, for bis diagnosis. Ha arrived on
Monday ulnhl's train and early next
morniug went to tbe homes of both the
Driskell and Hlmtt families, making 8
oareful examination of the oases aud
pronouncing them most emphatically
smallpox, and assures that verdict from
any physioian wbo may be called. In
an interview with the Gazette tbe dootor
spoke very oomplimentary of the town'e
prompt action in the matter, assuring ns
that in tbe early singes of tbe disease
no oonttigion from the Bflliotion is
liable. Tbe quarantine had been more
than ample, and advised tbe release of
many quarantined. About quarantining
tbe town, be tbongbt it most inadvis
able, as a majority of the towns lo the
northwest bad oases of it and thorough
quarantine would take in the entire
northwest. The disease is being held
in cbeok by the intelligent oo-operation
of tbe communities affected, aud in these
towns is interfering In no way with
tbe business. He advises cleanliness
and disinfection, and cautions particu
larly against the patients wbo are de
olared well, that before they oome out
thorough disinfeotion be made, and
tbe bedding and nnderololbing be de
stroyed. Oats and doge should be oare-
fully looked after and kept at home as
muoh as possible. lie considers the
dootors here as competent to oontend
with tbe disease as anywhere in the
oountry, and completely ignores the re
ported contention, which is agitating the
people. It a pest house is needed for
those wbo might possibly ooutraot the
disease here as strangers without a
home to go to, a suitable tent outside
tbe center would prove tbe best kind of
a plaoe to handle the disease.
The smallpox of the past is now only
startling legion, as under a general
oondition of vaccination and sanitary
laws it is now almost robbed of its seri
ous consequences and contagion, and in
the cities where it always eiists it is
given no thought, aud seldom is a
death from it aunouuooil.
The scare and general deiuoraluatiou
of business in small towus like ours is
tbe result of sensational agitation. It
seems natural for most people to try to
go the other fellow "one belter," and
thus the sensation extends.
Just as tbe business of Walla Walla,
Ooltax, Uulou and uiher joints where
tbey have oases, has assumed its normal
condition, so will ours in a few days,
and the smallpox gtsip will turn to
something else.
An America Railroad In Chin.
Moneyed men from the Uuiled Htatea
have teourd a franchise for building a
railroaJ from Hong Kong to Vau Kow,
China, a distance of nearly 700 miles.
While railroads are neoesnarv to a na
tion's proxparity, health is shll more
necessary, a eick man cant make
money if there are a thousand railroads.
One of the return n a why America is ao
progressive ia the fact that in ever? drnit
store is sold Hostetters Stomach Bitters,
that celebrated touio for the weak, ap
petiser for the dyspeptic and sedative
for tbe nervons. It is taken with great
sncoess by thousands of men and women
wbo are run down, pule and weak. It
inoreasee tbe weight, and the gain is
permanent sod laottaotial, ,

DsTBorr, July 20 Again tbe unex
pected happened in tbe Merchant's and
Manufacturers' 810,000 trotting stake.
Todsy Royal Baron, a comparative out
sider, beoame tbe winner of the prize.
But it was not won without effort, for
never was there a finer straggle in a
horse raoe than the one put up by King
mond, wbo won two of the beats and
finished second in the other five. Royal
Baron is a 6-year-old bay horse, bred by
Oolonel Stoner, of Kentucky, and is tbe
property of N. W. Hnblnger, of New
Haven. Up to yesterday, when be r. on
one Meobanios' and Manufacturers' best

Tucson, Ariz., July 20 A Nogales
special to tbe Star says that the grand
jury discovered that four Mexicans have
recently been kidnapped at Nogales with
tbe connivance of two offloiuls of Santa
Ornz county and handed over to tbe
Mexioan authorities without due prooess
of law. Tbe four men kidnapped were
summarily tried and shot by Mexioan
authorities. Ao effort to indite District
Attorney Harlow on aooount of the out
rage failed. It ia alleged that the Mexl-
oani kidnapped were hard oases. This
means used to dispose of them waa with
tbe understanding that tbe kidnapping
and exeoution should be suppressed or
relations between Americans and Mexi
cans on both sides of the line, which are
now very oordial, might be disturbed, it
offioial action was taken by tbe Ameri
can authorities.
Portland, July 21 The body of Clara
Fltoh, tbe 19 year-old daughter of Gen.
A. Fitoh, a Southern Pacific engineer,
was found in Cyole park this morning
and tbe police have juiled Frank Mo
Daniel, a truckman, oo suspicion of
having murdered tbe girl. Strangulation
waa apparently the oanse of death. Mo
Daniel strongly maintains his innooenoe,
though be admits be was with tbe girl
Wednesday night when she was sup
posed to bave been killed.
NuwYork, July 11. George W. Mo
Bride, United States senator from Ore
gon, on Monday left tbe post graduate
hospital, where he bad been for several
weeks recovering from the effeots of a
painfal and delicate operation. ''Popu
lism is dead in Oregon," be said, "and
ii rapidly dying out in other parts of
the west. Oregon oan be oounted in

BAiNBMDaB, Oa., July 23 Three
oegroa were lynched during last night
near Baffold, Qa., aud tbe mob ia hunting
(or five more, who are believed to have
been members of a gang that robbed J.
E. Oglitree, agent of the Plant system,
at Ssffold, Saturday night, afterwards
binding him and assaulting bia wife in
bis presence. Sinoe the crime was com
mitted, bunting parties have been out
in search of tbe gnilty negroes. One
of tbe negroes appeared at an old darky's
hones near Brinstoa, Oa., and asked to
be harbored. The old man went to
Brinson and informed tbe authorities of
bis preseuoe, A posse returned with
him and captured tbe negro, who gave
his name as Louis Satnroirj. Tbe man
was laaen to natioiu, woere be was
identified by Mr, and Mrs. Ogiltree as
one of their assaileots. He said there
were eight negros in bis gang, and that
they oame from Augusta. He said two
of the gang were not biding far away.
One portion of tbe mob went iu pursuit
of these two, while tbe other banged
Sammin and riddled bis body with
bullets. Tne other two were overtaken
shot and soalped, a party briogiog their
soalps to Haffold this evening. A bun
drsd men witb bloodhounds are after tbe
remaining five members of the gang,
aud if caught they will be lynched.
The followiug extrsots from the latest
medioal works on the disease, published
by Horatio C. Wood, A. M., M. D., L. L.
D., of Tale, and Reginold H. Fits, A.
M., M. D., will prove an influenoe witb
our local people who are disposed to
discuss tbe subject:

fever, characterised by an eruption,
whose unit ia at first a bard papule,
(feeling like a shot under the akin,) tben
n u umblicsted vesiole (that is tied dowu
in the oenter) then a pustule aud finally
a crust.
For the transmission of the disease
oontact is not necessary. Tbe poison

lbs respiratory organs (known as tbe
lungs). It escapee from tbe body witb
all the exoreliona and is abundantly
given off during tbe stags of invasion

Edward Jenner in 18H7 discovered
that milkmaid who beoame inoculated
by tbe oowpox were iasuoeptlble to
smallpox and this led to discovery of
vaoination. During Jenosr's days email
pox killed more people than 'all diseases

There is an endless discussioo about

An Awful Community.
In these days of iodostrinl sorambliug.
where every man's band is per force
turned against every other man, no pain
of poverty it is refreshing to see a little
group exercising some sense in the way
they apply their labor to make a living.
Morehead, Kansas, is a little community
of fifteen families, who do not itnmagine
themselves to be reformers, bat who
have been working on the sooial prob
lem, for the most part anoonsoious of
its import. These people and tbe farm
ers about own a co-operative store witb
83,000 worth of goods; it is held in 810
(hares. Tbey have a skimming station
from which they abip 8700 worth of oream
per month. Tbey bave a oanning faot-
ory, held in 810 shares. Shares in il
were paid by some in labor and others
in oash. After tbe canning season is
over, tbey will use tbe building for tbe
cnt irg room for the meat peeking,
which they propose to do co operatively
instead of paying shippers out and iu as
do most communities. They have a
broom factory organized and bave tbe
oorn growing and will put in otherwise
idle daya in making brooms from tbeir
own growth. Tbe are organizing an
implement works, some skilled men
from Btudebaker's beiug anxious to put
in tbeir shares sad labor, and 0 aim that
wagons tbat sell for $65 can be made at
a total cost sf $30, good wagons in
cluded. When tbey want to do some
thing to help themselves they first study
np tbe business in all its details and
tben go out to tbe school houses and
cull tbe farmers together, explain it to
tbem and have no difficulty in getting
all tbe help tbey want. None of tbese
industries bave the same ownership,
atockboldera in one being different from
those in any other, exoept tbe store, in
wbiob all bave a $10 share. Tbe oom
munity has ao orobestra and ia creating
a public library. Where hardly any
owned their homes a few years ago, now
all own their own homes. It ia tbe

The Hio Grande Western railway,
otherwise kuowu as "The Great Halt
Laks Route," is and has been, since the
opening of tbe "Oaden gateway," tbe
popular trans continental route between
tbe Taoifio northwest and the East. To
add to its popularity, arrangements
bave been made to make its train servioe
and equipment superior to any of its
competitors. Already tbe runnins time
of its several express trains baa been out
don ao tbat passengers from Portland
reaob Chicago in less than four daya,
and New York in lesa than five daya.
Effeotive May 1st, a perfect dining oar
servioe will be established. This will
make the trip via SU Lake City tbe
ideal one. To further add to the oum
fort of its patrons, handsome exeursion
tourist ears are being built for tbe ron
between Portland and Chicaao. With
the diuiug oar servlos established and
tha uew tourist cars ruoniug, there will be
little to be addod to nisk perfect train.
