The Gazette. 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. The Lantern. 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.

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 in 2-M, his beat mark waa 2r23'4. 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.

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.

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.

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.
