And who has heard anything about him that he can really bank on? Near ly all the biographies of Shakspere have been reconstructed from the signature to his will, and are nec essarily crooked. Yarns about this great man are very conflicting, Some say that he was a myriad- minded individual, about as all- round as Denny the Frenchman who used to live here. Others tell ub that this is all a fake, that he was a perfect bum who should have been run in at an early age. He wrote a good many things in blank verse, and even these have become the subject of controversy. Some say that he never wrote them at all; that he didn't have enough education to write an excuse to the teacher when he wanted to go fish ing; others say that he never went to school aDd didn't have to write excuses. Ilis spelling and his capitalization have been held out against him, and with remarkable unanimity a certain faction de clares him to have been a numb skull who couldn't possibly have written anything, uuless it was a communicjitiou on the many-sided silver question. There were re porters in William's day, and some of them may have written the plays for him. One of the men who claims to have written the Shakspere plays still lives. Shak- spere managed the Globe Theatre in London and lived in the fogs outside the city, where he trained actors with dogs. He only went down to the theatre once a week, and then to cash in. When the theatre burned Shak spere went back to Stratford-on- Avon with the insurance money. He had himself buried there in order to give the tourist quite a job hniiing him. JNot many people trom Jtleppner call at his grave. PREACHER-ROBBER. The Portland Telegram of 16th says: John Stockton is awaiting trial on a charge of stealing a bicycle. Stockton is considered a bad lot by the police. They say he formerly lived in Eastern Oregon, where he used to work at odd jobs and hold revival services, then after the religious ceremonies were over he would go out and steal anything he could lay his hands upon. A de tective states that Stockton also assisted in a jail delivery at Day ton. If all the Indians had the vi tality possessed by Blind Jim, who is now superintending the pulling of perfumed wool in the Heppner Hills, they would not decrease. The annual report of the Commis sioner of Indian Affairs shows that the entire Indian population is 207,905, of which number 95,679 wear citizens' dress, while 31,923 wear a mixture of Indian and civ ilized clothing. Those who can read number 52,597, and 53,314 oan carry on an ordinary conver sation in English. There are 25, 230 dwnlling houses built for Ind iauri, 1153 of which were built in tbe past year. The number of births was 4237 mid the deaths 5253. Twenty-six weie killed by whites and seven whitPB by In diaus. One Indian was killed by Indians. Ihe number Indian criminals punished was 14C9, There are 31,655 Indian church members and 348 church buildings upon the various reservations. HIGH SCHOOL NO'IKS. By Orville A. Jones.

GoldenBtair Guild, editor of toe balem Independent, says: xreraons interested in raising poultry for cats should select eggs irom tne oest breeds of chickens to be had for hatching. One eood healthy cat will consume about 200 chickens a year. They are verv delicate animals and should not be fed on tough meats. Some cats will not eat chickens. They can be taught to chew chicicens how ever, by gradually baiting them wan dead robins, jay blues and other stuff. Once the appetite for domestic fowls is established, one ought to have no trouble in getting them to eat the young, tender, juicy chicks. It is great and profitable sport raising chickens for cats. Some of the poor felines appear to like to chew on the cute little birds, very much, indeed. By great perseverance, all cats can be trained to go and kill chickens of their own accord. Some persons are selhsh enough to object to raising poultry for cats, and shoot all the Tommys and Puesys that come within range.

But beat of all it has no equal as an evergreen doormat hoi cleaning muddy shoes on, it is the very essence of perfection. It beats the ordinary doormat all to pieces.

Spring weather and the march of pro gress is having a good effect on the town of lone, and many of its people are beautifying their homes by setting out trees and shrubbery. Tbe mild waather will cause them to grow Huh t along with no interruption on account of tranaplant ing, and trees in a few years will make a wonderful difference in the landscape and cause lone to become one of the beauty spots of the earth. LOVE BY MAIL. For several months Foster Adams of Heppner and Mrs. Maria Church, of Missouri, have been making love to each other by mail, and the result was that the lady came here a few weeks ago, and the couple were married Hun day by Uev. St. Clair. In the evening they were given a reception in the M 15. church South, and Monday night a serenade. They have settled down to quiet housekeeping in Heppner. The Oreeonfan. Beyond a doubt tbe Portland Oregon ian is tbe ablest all round newspaper in tbe Pacific Northwest. It Is indispensa ble in connection with keeping track of tbe world's progress. It reaobsg Ilepp oer at midnight on day of issue and men stay up and await its arrival. It Is kept on sale at Patterson & Sou's drug store, and it always does tbe fair thing for Heppner and Morrow county. Ia Qaod Colors. Quite a few Columbia river Indians in showy blankets have been in Hepp ner this week selling tbe first wool of the season. They bring it in wheat sacks, and last year sold oyer $:i(J00 worth in Heppner. They secure their wool without the experme of keeping sheep. There be ing 200,000 sheep in Morrow county, a fair percentage of them naturally drop dead around cer the big range, The Indians ride all over the county and discover the dead sheep and pull the wool. The ripor the sheep the easier it is to pull the wool, and the stronger the smell. If you ride along a trail and there is a gay cavalcade of Indian pack horses ahead of yon with a cargo of pulled wool, you will need corks for you nose. When the old Morrow and Herren store stood where tho grand Palace hotel now is, several clerks were driven to drink Florida water on account of the accumulations of pulled wool in the back yard. A Uuod 'oils' h Merilisine for Children. "I have no hesitancy in reoommending Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," says F P. Morao, a well known and popular baker, of Petersburg, Vs.

In the war in South Africa of to day the hostile battalions of two hostile armies emolov the Bame chaplains to repeat the same pray ers in the same creed. And strange as it may seem, in spite of big guns that will kill at six miles; in spite of dynamite bombs that will kill a whole company of sol. diers ifwell directed; iu spite of lyacute enelis that tear up half an acre of solid earth, and in soite of all tbe devils of destruction that the genius of modern invention has produced, the cavalrv horse and the army mule still remain the most potent factors of this war in Africa. In the land of the Transvaal, where the Jioers are now battling to hold their country aeainst Eng land, during the dry season the earth puts forth no verdure, and the rivers are emptied of their waters. How can an army of cav alry subsist in Buch a country as this? How can the horses of the United States or Europe Jive in a country where the thermometer ranges 120 degrees in the mid day, even now. Already the English government has purchased in the United States over 15,000 mules that have been shipped to the seat of war in South Africa. Ten times 10,000 more mules will be wanted. And where are tbese much-wanted cavalry horses to come from? The United States and Canada will have to supply the demand. Battle of Thorn Krlck. Next Sunday will be the 22d anniver sary of a great battle up on Thorn creek Obadiah Welch had seven roosters and one ben, and tbe roosters attacked the sUespsbearers, who were oompelled to right and slay six of them. And wben Mr. Welch oame home be feasted for a long spell on what be thought was groase potpie nntil be missed tbe usual orow iog next morning. One of tbe roosters had a bard time being born. His mother bad stolen ber nest high np on tbe bill aids, and when tbe breeze blew tbe eggs from nnder ber sbe followed one down to tbe bottom, sat on it 3f j days longer, and brought forth a ouie little baby rooster who grew up into a horrid fight er who attacked shearers and had to have bis spurs clipped and be put into a potpie. Prevented a Tragedy. Timely information given Mrs. George Long, of New Straitsville, Obio, prevent- a dreadful tragedy and saved two lives. A frightful ooogb had long kept ber awake every night. She bad tried many remedies and doctors, bnt steadily grew worse nntil urged to try Dr. King s New Discovery.

NO. 774 tf INVITING ILL-WILL. By a ourioas faot, those who invite ill will seem often to get it. Society, based on a reciprocity of faith., seems to have no smiles to bestow upon tbe misan thrope. It bids him, "Laugh, and the world laughs with you." It so comes to pass that many of them acquire some real ground for their "sense of iDjury," and in the long ran that real quarrels are precipitated from this atmosphere ot suspiciousness. Indeed, this is tbe psychology ot most quarrels, says an artiole in Appleton's Monthly. Tbe effeot of imaginary grievances oomea in torn to be tbe cause of real ones. Thus into an acoident between two persons, one of them mistakenly reads an affront to himself. He retali ates, and tbe other person, unconscious of having done anything to evoke any hostility, finds himself affronted, and in bis turn retaliates. Bv this time real grievances have oome, and the quarrel is on. Balzac, that master analyst, in alluding to friendship, in one of bis stones, says: "It died" (tbe friendship) "like other great passions by a mis understanding. Both sides imagine treaohery, pride prevents an understand ing, and tbe ruptore comes." Just as tbe malevolent feelings may arise de novo, so it is with the benevolent ones. Nordau shews bow the nondesoriD state of beiug "in love" often arises. Some inoident betweeo John and Mary leads one of them we will say John to tbink mistakenly that Mary has been attracted to him. Pleased with the faot, be re ciprocates, Mary, although unconsoious of tbe reciprocal natare of John's atten tion, finds pleasure in it, and in her tarn reoiprocates. Mutnal reciprocity then follows. In irritable persons we find the morbid sense of injury coupled witb resent ment. Quickly interpreting anything disagreeable to them as an affront by another, tbeir first impulse is to resent it, which tbey do more or less violently, acoordiug to ciroumstances, tbeir second thought otten recognizing tbe irrational nature of the outbreak. (iOOl) CROP OUTLOOK. A. Andrews, sheriff of Morrow county, is now promptly performing bis duty of personally notifying the ofliciale who will preside in each precinct at the com In ir election, lie has been to Alpine and Wells Hpring, ami on Tuesday re turned from Eight Mile and Dry Fork, where he found vegotation green, grow ing and flourishing, and the crop out look never better. He saw many farm ers plowing summer-fallow and harrow ing barlev ground. KheriirAndrews will today go to Dairy and Matteson precincts, and afterwards notify officials in Lena and Pine City precincts. AT THE TIMBER'S EDGE. A dozen or so miles south from Hepp ner, whore fringes of timber vonture down from the mountains, where the towering tamaracks grow and mingle witli the picturesque pines, where pure water splashes and dashes, is always a pretty place, and particularly pretty now. Thorn is snow up there on the higher ridges and it is melting fust, and along side of it is the greenest of grans and acres of beautiful blooming buttercups, and ttie larks are singing and the blue grouse beginning to make love. The tall tamaracks are threatening to thrust out their needle-like leaves of vivid green, the most beautiful shade of green on earth. It is of such a tint as comes in the springtime to a troe in Senator Carson's yard in Portland, which the' neighbors come for miles to see, and his Italian gardoner from the Tratisvall calls the Oregonius giuantictia tamarackahiis. It is a beautiful trea wherever met, and Hcppner's Blue mountains are full of it. LAND BALE. Lon Markliam has bought from Pat Kpillane 10KI acres of land at the head of Clark's canyon, a fow miles west of Heppner, at the rate of $400 a quarter section, lie also bought Pat's ewe sheep at $1.K0 with wool on. This gives lxn 1000 head of ewes in sight, and probably more than that now out of sight but which will soon be in sight. He now has 2K00 acres, making one of the best ranches in Morrow county. Pat will remain on the place for tbe present and help through lambing, and probably huy sheep ai?ain next full. Always rtlluhle rtie Weekly Oreg'onUn.
