The Goldendale Tribune ia poblwhed in a loft of a hotel building. The editor experiences considerable trouble in pnh lieniog tike-paper. Lately the bed-bogs made an attack upon the office, anrceed ing in eating up the roller and gtin away with the office towel. From his eyrie the editor views tbe sonroanding country and when be sees a suapicioo person approaching he pniU up the steps and thereby places liimt t( in a position safe from attack. In caee of fire he will slide down a greased pole leading from hia office window to tlie ground below. A doctor named C rot hers ha come loping to the front with a claim that a sober man can become "red head ed" full fig! ting drunk simply by parsing an hour or so in tbe company of an intoxicated individual. Thin is con tagion, and an exchange thinks that it ouht to work like a ebarm. A married man, upon reaching home late after an evening out, can tell his wife, when she looks into bis face with a sort of a William Henry rn-laying-for-rou gaze, that lie has simply been taking care of a poor fellow whom lie found drunk in tbe street. If his wife truly loves him she will be lieve him. If be doesn't believe him it will be a ain that her regard for him i somewhat chilled. Dr. Crothers talks like a great man, and this theory sound very sensible. If lie has written a word upon this great question it should have a place on the center table of every home in land. THE MAS DA MLS CASE. Editor Statesman : In the local press frequent ex parte mention of the Ladd St Bush mandamus case has been made in which it is sought to make it appear that tbe county treasurer is only actuated by desire to protect his bondsmen. Judge Boise, the attorneys, and all others who heard the case, know that this is but a lying pretense. In the beginning the trouble was the old one of a "little brief authority playing fantastic tricks." His weak vanity was wounded because the county Judge and commissioners did not consult him about the county business. Other parties finding his head swelled over his imaginary great conflict with the county court had an easy job in using him in an enaeavor to rob a creditor and plac tbe county in an attitude of at tempted repudiation. There could be but one end to such endeavor to exhibit a readiness to act the rascal, and a failure to accomplish it. And the taxpayers of the county have for months been and are paying interest upon these orders while money to pay them was presumed to be lying idle in the treasury. But in the cross examination of the county treasurer in this case the admission was extorted from him thai he had the county's money loaned for interest. And it is a reasonable conclusion that tbe present obstructions to the payment of theee orders are being resorted to to gain time for the maturity of those cer tificates. These are f.M'i of import to the taxpayers of tbe coui.lv. X. Halem, Aug. 1, 1887.' AS UNCOMMON AFFLICTION. ''What's become of Jones, who used to live in this neighborhood?" "Jones? Gone to the insane asylum. We had to send him. We kept him Just as long as we could, and then we sent bim away. He's incurable. You won't ever ss-e Jones outride of the asylum again. He actedpfr for a long time, but we thought he'il come out all right; but when he went ami laid a sidewalk in front of hi.- houe without being ordered five or six times by the authorities, and paid his taxes without making a noise about it, and threw a counterfeit quarter down the well, and muzzled his dog, and didn't poisun h'm neighbor's dog, and re fused to run for alderman, and kept his hens at home, and tied up his cow, and paid up his debt, why then we saw there was no hope lor poor Jones, and the sheriff put a strailit-jiii ket n him, and took him away. Too bad. too; because Jones used to be just as clear-headed as any of ns." Dakota Bell. TOO HONEST. "Humph!" be growled, as he untied a small package he had nci ivtd by ex press. "What is it?" "It's my old 15 cent Jack knife. I lent it to a Chicago drummer the other day to sharpen a pencil and he carried it off." 'J'.ut he was honest enough to return it." "Yes, confound him. but he sent it C. O. D., and it cost roe twenty-five cents." Defrost Free Press. A STi:Fr.XT OF II CM AN" NATURE. "I am devoted to George, of course," said a Chicago girl to her mother; "but I am afraid tliat he hasn't get-up-and-get enough about him to make any great snccesa in the world." "Why?" aked the mother. "Because be alwavs kisses me on the forehead." Puck." VENGEANCE FEARED. "What ia your objection L that tales man ? " aked a lawyer whoee client was being tried for brrglary. "It was at my house that he made tbe acquaintance of bis present wife. Chal lenge him, for heaven's sake, or he will want to find me guilty without leaving the jury box." Texas Sifting.

Pittsburg Dispatch. - CSITEL'SITY 50TES. Pmf . Starr i busy helping Benson to get things in vhjpe for bis new store. Pro. J? wan teen riding oat of town yesterday on a load of lumber and look ing as ragged as a regular granger. He will dual lees tie in good trim for his work by tieptemher 5th. n T (1. Oaensand J. W. Rousseau have put in mMt of their vaotfioo thus far by helping with the Woman 'a college. They will bo-'b be on hand and ready to enter school beptemtier 5th. If a hot wave or a cyclone doesnt strike Prof. Par v in within the next few days, he will be home by the 10th irwt., chock full of new raneic,entliasiai'm and work for the coming year. Prof Arnold lias had river water put ino his grounds and will now devote more time than ever before to them. He has a fine garden this year and pur pose taking the premium on vegetables and fruita next year should his game foot get all right again. With the work done on the carnpus by Wm. Wright, tbe painting of the cupola, tbe improvements on the Woman's col lege, etc., Willamette is keeping pace with Salem's bonm. It is hoped that in the future she may not only be able to keep up, but may lead in every good work. J. B. Starr, A. B., '87, has purchased Pro). Arnold's stock of hooks, together with his pood will, and with bis new tore and popularity among rtudents and citizens ill doubtless secure a large part of the trade, both of the city and country, in the line of books, stationery and music. Pres. Van Sooy spends his time in answering requests for catalogues and in formation, overseeing the work of the Woman's college, taking an occasional trip to the country and "watching" Methodist ministers. With these variont occnations he is kept quite busy during this hot weather. Of the doings of the lady members of the faculty, Micg-s Craig, Cunningham and Moores, not much is known, except that the last two have been away part of their vacation rusticating, and that they are all resting and getting ready to take bold of their work with renewed energy "by September 5th. So great will be the improvements in the Woman's college that, with the change of location, the voting lathes will hardly be able to recognize it upon their return. The prospects are that it. as well as all the other depart ments of Willamette, will be unusu;i')y full tbe coming year. Monroe Newport writes that he will return in September, and hopes to re main in school continuously until he finishes the classical course. Wm. J. Culver will also return and will room with Mr. Newport. Both of these gen tlemen are fine stndenta and each counts one wherever work is required. J no. Owen Goltra, A. B., '87, the ir repressible, may be found any week day hard at work and on Sunday at h is post in the M. E. church, looking after the comfort of the atdience and the Sabbath school. It is hoped that he as well as J. Benson Starr and all the ladies of '87, may become permanent fixtures of tbe capital city. Willis C. Ilawley, B. S., 84. is a resi dent of the boarding hall and is spending his vacation in getting thing!) abtut the hall and Woman's college in shape gen erally, and in looking after that boy who, by the way, is as fine a specimen of a Webfoot as can be found any where. It would be hard to tell whether he or Walton Skip worth, Forrester Royal, or W. P. Williams is proudest over their new accessions to alma mater. A DAKOTA BBIDE. Old Bud Jackson, one of the terrors of Montana, lost his fourth wife, and came over into Dakota for a fifth victim. He met and married the widew Baggs, a frail, gentle looking little woman, who had just been left a widow for the third time, and seemed crashed to earth by her losses. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson wended their way to Bud's Montana home, and as the goshing bridegroom led his bride into bis lovely cot of one room and introduced her to his favorite dogs, be said tenderly: "You want to remember, Mrs. Jackson, that I'm the boss here. Don't you never forgit that. The four dear companions that I've laid away mighty soon found that out. All I ever bad to do was to crook my finger and they come a runnin' to know w hat I wanted. There wssn't no hangin' back nor a?kin questions. Yon see that ox gad op there? Well, that's the little aibytrater that useter settle any slight differences I evr had with the four dear companions that are gone. They ginerally suckkumed after bout six licks, an' I hope you'll be equally obeejent. "Now s'posen you take my boots an clean 'em up an' grease 'em. They've got mighty muddy while we was on our tower. Clean 'em np good. I'm mighty pertickler 'bout my boots, an' I'd hate to take that air gad down the fust day yon was in your new borne. Come an' pull off the "boots, r The frail, sad-e"yed little bride did not move. Her pretty lips began to tremble and her gentle bottom beaved. "Yon comin'?" roared Jackson. "Hev I got to snatch down that air gitd? Oh, yer comin', eh ?" She came. She snatched down the gad on her way, and, with teeth set and eyes that twinkled merrily, she landed within two feet of Bud. He had faced wild-rats and hyenas, bnt never anything like this. A conflict ensued ; it was short, fierce and decisive. It ended in Bud's crawling un der the bed, and as his bride prodded him with a hoe-handle she gaily shouted : "Ye pore innercent thing, ye! Hain't no mo' sense then tor raise the dander of Lizy Jane Baggs Jackson, ber that never did nor never will take a word of rase from any man living. Ye'd better crawl nnder there! Ye'd better crawl clear through the wall. Oh, ye'll holler nuff, hey? Welt, yon go an' cuts month's supply o' wood 'fore you show yer face in this cabin agin. I'll learn ye who's boss here!'
