THB CHICKEN FBVKB.
It Is Contagious and It Ooei to the head
Quickly.
M. M. Johnson, of Nebraska, in a
recent issue of Orange Judd Farmer,
says:
"This chicken fever that gets in all
some time is contagious and needs a
remedy. I would advise some kind of
a tonic, sucb as holding on to part of
good job. I can't make fun of any
one with that fever, as I had it once
myself. It waa about six years ago
that I was stricken, and it came in this
way: If it costs only one bushel of
gain to keep a hen a year. I can buy
corn for lftc, and if she lays 24 e
worth 1 cent each, here will be 12. i 5
profit. Then why should, not 100 hens
make a profit of $225 and 1000 hens of
92250? Then I took up the broiler ques
tion, and found that lc eggs could be
turned into 40c broilers.
"I have gone through all the ex
perience that belongs to the novice in
the business and tind that poultry
really pays. Start in on small capital
with a small flock, learn the trade and
grow up with it. You will tlnd a
sciew loose occasionally, but always
carry a screw driver."
Only American Girl to Marry King.
But one American girl has ever
married a king, and she, a New Eng
land woman, now a widow, is living
in a royal palace in the country of her
adoption, almost lost sight of'by her
American sisteri and friends. The
romance of this fascinating, gifted
American girl, who won the liana and
heart of a king one of the prettiest of
love stories will be one of '.the
features of the March Ladies' Home
Journal.
Noah and the Ark.
"Yea," said the statesman with the
kindly eye, but tbe (irmly set mouth
"1 like to read about Noah and the
ark." "What brought then to your
attention?" "Nothing in particular.
I couldn't avoid being struck by tbe
manner in which Nodh and bis sons
went to work and carried the enter
prise through without asking a
penny's assistance from the govern
ment. But, of course, those were
primitive daya." Washington Star.
THB EVIL OF GAMBLING.
Dr.
Felix Adler Lectures on the
'Pai-
slon and Its Consequences."

gaming and gambling. The former
l. t AA.An4-.. 1,., . h Inn thn
element of gain is widened it becomes
gambling. . 1 I
"The savage and tho child are
natural gamblers," be said. "The'
streets of New York swarm with gamb-J
ling children. Craps is a prevalent
species , ol gambling among them.
The Chinese and the Italians are pas
sionate gamblers. On the whole
civilized life is the least given to
gambling, and particularly the life
which is orderly and regular is apt to
be free from it.
"It is sometimes said that all busi
ne. i is speculative, and to a consider
able extent this is true. Every man
almost who attempts to carry out anv
great work is speculating, and such
speculating is productive of the! greatest
good to the world, But the dilterence
between hiin and the gambler is that
his success depends upon toil and lore
sight. The gambler wauts wages with
out working. He wants to live well
without effort. For this reason he is
anti-social in his aims.
"Much is said nowadays about the
produce and stock-exchange: It is un
doubtedly true .that they offer chances
for gambling excelled by no faro bank
anywhere. Yet a careful examination
will show, I think, that they are a
valuable element in progress.
"What we need to do in this day is
to lend our influence to the unspecula
tive side of life. In spite of some im
provements this city is still wide open.
Give me what is squandered at the
card table in this city anil I change

ADAMS WAREHOUSE BILL.
It Has Passed the Senate and Promises
to Become a Law.
The Adams warehouse bill, senate
bill No. 7, passed the Oregon senate
Thursday, but not without opponition.
The principal objection to the bill was
that it imposes burdensome and un
necessary obligations upon warehouse
men in requiring thorn to make regu
lar monthly reports and special reports
upon demand of storers of grain. Tbe
bill, as originally introduced, had
been amended at the request of Sena
tor Booth, so as to exempt from its re
quirements all operators of grist mills
who do not receive grain for export.
This amendment was made in the in
terest of small millers . in Southern
Oregon, who grind wheat for farmers
and miners, but do not conduct an ex
tensive storage business. Senator
Adams spoke briefly in support of his
measure, saying that its purpose is
to protect the farmers against the care
lessness or dishonesty of warehouse
men. He stated that Marion county
farmers have lost 253,000 bushels of
grain by warehousemen shipping away
grain which they did not own. and
that this would not have occurred had
the warehousemen been governed by a
law which required them to make re
ports showing the amouat of grain on
hand at various times. He said that
the present law lor the punishment of
warehousemen who shin away grain
which they do not own has proven in
effectual, and this bill proposes to
remedy the defect of the old law by
making the requirements more specific.

Linn county representatives in the

alight, greeting King Leopold, of Bel
gium, King - George, of Greece, and
other royalties in the order of their
rank. Twelve men from the Cold
stream guards removed the coffin from
the car and placed it on the waiting
gun carriage. The crowds and
draperies were arranged as at Cowes
yesterday. This part of the procession
waited, while the troops fell into line
and started away. Outside tbe station
is a mass of irregular higli buildings
amid which, in every possible and
impossible place, stands were erected
giving effects to buildings bursting
with people.
In Hyde Park hundreds of acres of
people stood. Soldiers, thirty-five
thouand strong, stood shoulder to

spot during the procession, fcr there

like it was ever witnessed. Several

during the rush for the gates, after the
procession passed. Extraordinary am
bulance preparations were, made and
the soldiers, eight deep, forced the
struggling humanity back. Every tree
was filled with people and they filed

millionaires. Only athletes and the
wealthiest, however, secured an unin"

Legislative Notes.
The bill for a division, of the agri
cultural college will probably be
withdrawn. In the light of recent
advices from Washington the proposed
establishment of a separate college in
Eastern Oregon is impossible in that
it would result in the withdrawal of
federal support from botli institutions.
Under existing arrangements the col
lege receives $50,000 annually, from
the federal government, and Director
General True, in charge of the experi
ment work for the government, has
written to the college regents in effect
that the college must remain intact to
enjoy tho annual $50,000. The bill
passed appropriates $20,000 for
improvements and repairs and an
annual sum of $25,000 for the main
tenance of the college.
The anoropriation for the state uni
versity was increased from $30,000 to
$47, 5(H) annually and the bill passed
without, a dissenting vote. Thus far
there have been few clashes between
the members during debate.
In protestine against the bill
requiring county officers to have their
bonds secured by a surety comnany,
Mr. Eddy provoked the ire oi the
author of the bill, Watson of Mult
nomah, who construed Eddy's remark
into an intimation that he, Watson,
was lobbying the bill through in the
interest of foreign corporations. He
denied the implied accusation and
fiointed to instances where counties
lave been unable to recover on bonds
signed by private citizens. Tbe country
members were opposed to the measure
and it was finally sent back to a com
mittee to be amended so as to apply
only to counties of over 60,000.
while the appropriations are liberal
in the extreme all of the bills are not
going through without protest. Whit
ney of Linn, the old watchdog of the
treasury, is carefully scanning every
item and leads the o 'position when
tangible reason for V . erence arises.
The Multnomah cou itv delegation is
divided against itself because of a lack
of harmony between the regular nom-
nees and the candidates elected on the
citizen's ticket in Portland.

The Multnomah delegation met
Tuesday evening and discussed tbe dry
dock feature of the proposed port of
Portland bill. President Mohler and
Attorney Cotton, of the Oreeon Rail
road & JNavigation company, were
present on invitation, and gave some
interesting testimony snowing tne
necessity for a drydock. President
Mohler's talk was plain and very much
to the point, and, his yiews on the
matter seemed to meet with the ap
proval of nearly all of the members
present.

A WONDERFUL INVENTION.
It Promises to Revolutionize the Tele
graph Business.
Omaha, ieb. 2. An event of great
importance to the scientific world was
an exhaustive and successful test, just
made, at the Western Union Telegraph
office here, of tbe Pearne printing
teiegrapn, an apparatus which, its in
ventors declare, is destined to revolu
lionize all existing methods of trans
mission of intelligence.
The apparatus consists of a sender
and a receiver, operated by electricity
The first is not unlike the keyboard of
a typewriter, and the latter resembles
the carriage and platen. An operator
manipulates ine Keyboard and tbe mes
Bage is transmitted over a wire any
desired distance and is automatically
printed on a roll of paper by the
receiver, i.lectrical experience is un
necessary lor the operator and there
no telegraph alphabet to learn. Any
one who can operate a typewriter is
capable of sending a message. The
receiving is automatic, the only atten
tion required being that the rolls of
paper are supplied when needed an
the receiver kept in working order
Ihe cost of manufacture will probably

The invention was patented October

THE START MADE FOR LOKDOH
o
A Simple Ceremony at Cowes, But In London
tbe Last Rites Will Be of Surpass
ing Grandeur and Display.
Cowes, Feb. l.-The weathber here
today was perfect for the queen's
funeral ceremonies,the people of Cowes
never remembering a more splendid
midwinter day. All the arrangements
were perfect in detail, the start from
Osborne house being made at 1 :45 this
afternoon.. The remains of the
lamented sovereign were followed by
the family and her intimate friends on
foot. The funeral began with the
simplicity usually accorded any indi
vidual, but will reach climax tomor-,
row in London where it yill be of sur.
passing grandeur. Bearing tbe coffin
the stalwart guards came from the
great doors of the entrance ' to Osborne
house, and, as it weighed seven hun
dred pounds, it taxed the strength of
even these giants. The casket was
placed on the gun carriage, of the
Highland pipers, who took position in
.out, while trie bodyguards, in iuu
unitorm, followed the casket. I hen
came King Edward, the kaiser, Duke
of Connaugh, walking three abreast;
Prince Arthur of Connaugb, frince
Henry of Prussia. Duke Saxe-Coburg,
of Gotha, Prince Charles, of Denmark,
Prince Louis, of Hattenburg, crown
Prince Fredeiick Wilhelm ; then the
ladies of the family of tbe queen
consort, Princess Christian, with Prin
cess Louise leading. Tbe military
officers, representing the district, with
servants and tenants brought up tbe
rear. The Diners Bet up a wail and at
the gates the artillery bands joined in
the dirges, for miles down tne open,
country road was lined with crowds of
country people, and, marigned by rows
of the Hampshire volunteers, the pro
cession, with stately tread, passed on
to Last Cowes, winding through its
narrow streets, jammed with people,
to the trinity pier, where lay tbe royal
yacht, Alberta. The bands bere
itepped aside, but continuing tbe
direful music, while tbe gun carriage
was run forward to the gang way of the
yacht on which the casket waa placed.
After the sailors tenderly bore the
coffin aboard, the music ceased, only
the mournful beats ot muffled drams
sounding, the curtains from the daii
on which the coffin rested, were drawn
back to full extent and kept so. to en
able all to see the bier, which was
drapped in ruby velvet.
At 3 o'clock, proceeded by eight
black and grim marine destroyers,
two abreast, the Alberta slowly
steamed away from the pier and headed
lor Portsmouth. As the funeral snip
cleared, the yachts Victoria and
Albert, Osborne, Hohenxollern, En
chantress and Trinity ran in and took
aboard the members ot the royal family
of mourners. '
Now occurred the most impressing
funeral pageant ever witnessed at sea,
the Alberta passing down between a
double line of monster war vessels,
made up of cruisers, battleships and
gunboats of the English navy rein
forced by vessels of nearly all foreign
countries.
As the procession started tbe whole
fleet began firing nine minute suns. As
the Alberta passed, each vessel ceased
tiring so bat tbe roar gradually died
away and there was silence as the
yacht drew into Gosport harbor, where
she will lie over tonight. It was 4:30
o'clock when the Alberta reached
Portsmouth, taking an hour and a half
crossing from Cowes.
