ASTOKIA. OREGON:
THURSDAY.-
..JDNE 14..188S.
TnE dispatches are silent about the
king of Spain's illness, but his serene
majesty has been a little off lately.
He cut two teeth last week
Tie difference between an original
newspaper and one made np o re
print is that one sajs what others
quote, and the other quotes what
others say.
From California comes a report
that Stanford of that state expects to
be nominated at Chicago. The idea
is too ridicnlou? for belief. With
either Stanford or Depew on the Re
publican ticket it would be beaten
worse than the Democratic candidate
for congress in this state was on the
4th inst.
Tun San Francisco Examiner says
that congressman Hermann of this
state, is "inebriated." "Inebriated" is
high English for Mruuk' Tho Ex
aminer is as badly mistaken in this
as in other things. Though if Ilor
mauu was that kind of a man ho has
excellent excuse. It is not even- day
that a congressman is chosen to rep
resent an entire commonwealth by a
practically unanimous vote.
A school for "journalists" is the
latest fad in Boston. For a modest
stipend a professor will teach young
men and maids how to become "jour
nalists." Journalists can be thus
manufactured, bnt newspaper men
cannot. The best school for newspa
per men is for the jonth at tho ago of
twelve, having learned all that he can
in school, to take a small frame of
thin iron and under competent in
stmction in a well regulated print
shop stick type into that iron rectan
gle C3 directed, aud afterwards, when
permitted, write an acconnt of things
seen, in small English words, tho
smaller the better, aud aim at all
times to bo the first one to tell the
trntlj. From this school the most of
the newspaper men aud tho fewest of
tho 'journalists" have graduated.
Tins morning's dispatches tell of
new troubles befalling, the hapless
dwellers of the northern Mississippi
valley. Last summer they had a
drought, and wore almost"! baked.
Last winter came a blizzard that froze
people in their beds: last spring camo
a cyclone that blew people into eter
nity aud leveled several towns; last
mouth came a flood that drowned the
stock and ruined tho stock men, and
now comes a plague of locusts
to cat whatever the drought
and the blizzard and tho cy
clone and the flood had spared. That
is certainly a good country to emi
grate from, audit the luckless deni
zens of that I region' waut to" live i
peace and plenty let them come to
Oregon where there are none of the
the disagreeable phases of nature,
where peace and prosperity await
willing workers and where as sure as
the'day follows the night abundant
harvest and fruitful soil unvexed by
disaster,. icld sustenance to all.
Tnnnn is no tree that is so surr to
grow without any care as tho.willow.
A twig from a branch of a tree stuck
into the moist earth, and tho labor is
completed. An article in a German
coteniporary, which is a great author
ity, recommends the cultivation of
willow trees, not only from an econom
ical and industrial" point of view, but
also for hygienic purposes. They are
especially useful where the drinking
water is taken from fountains or nat
ural wells, and still more where there
arc morasses and meadows, for in the
weinity of willow trees water is al-
wajs clean and pnre. Let those who
doubt this fact placo a piece of willow
which has not yet begun to strike, in
to a bottle of water, and placo this
within another bottle containing wa
ter only, in a warm room, for eight
days. - In tthe first bottlo will be
found shoots and rootlets in clear
water, while tho other bottle will con
tain pntrifying water. Holland is
covered with willows, and their dam
works arc made stronger by the net
work formed by the roots.
Complaints are reaching tho treas
ury department from northern Idaho,
with regard to tho large importations
being made there of lead ore from
the British dominion. Extensive
mines of galena have been found on
the line of the Canadian Pacific road,
and it is being brought across tho
border into Idaho to be reduced. The
complaint sajs that the ore is of ex
traordinary fineness, running as high
as CO per cent of lead, and with some
silver deposits. It is coming into
competition with the productions of
the mines of Idaho, and the com
plaint is based upon that ground.
The treasury department is uncertain
what position to take upon tho ques
tion. Silver ores are admitted free of
duty, audit is claimed that if this ga
lena is found to contain silver enough
to make it the component of chief
value in these ores, the duty could
not bo charged upon it. Tho recom
mendation has been made to the de
partment that a government official
should bo stationed on tho border to
intercept this product and see that it
pay the proper rate of duty. The de
partment will probably make an in
vestigation of tho matter. Complaint
has also been mado that the same
things occurs on the Mexican border.
AFTER FLOODS AND BLIZZARDS
Ocaes the Plague of Locusts.
(SPECIAL. TO THE ASTOE1AX.)
CniCAGO. June 13. A dispatch from
Emporia, Kansas, soys a portion of
the Texas delegation to the Chicago
convention passing through thi3 citv
to-day were interviewed as to their
preferences, n. (J. and C. M. Fergu
son, delegates at large, declared a
warm preference for Gresham, and
thought the entire delegation would
vote solidly for him.
WHAT NEXT.'!
Chicago, June 13. Dispatches
from points in Iowa and Illinois state
that millions of locusts aro making
their appearance. They aro doing
little damage as yet be.ond killing

ions differ as to whether they are the
seventeen year variety or not.

BLAINE'S THIRD LETTER.
He Will Not Have The Nomination.
(SPECIAL TO TOE ASTOEUN)
CniOAao, Juno 13. A Pittsburg
dispatch says that chairman Jones of
tho Republican national committee
has in his possession a third letter
which ho has just received from Jas,
G. Blaine who is now in Scotland and
which is to be read upon the assem
bling of tho national convention at
Chicago, next Tuesday. In it Blaine
states most emphatically that he will
not allow the use of his name in the
convention and that he would not ac
cept the nomination though it were
tendered to him unanimously.
Jones arrived uere tins morning
bnt would neither deny nor corrob
orate the story.
Flannel Dresses.
The flannel dresses are very pretty
this season, and follow the general
tendency in the absence of accessor
iesthat is, of superflons mounting,
trimming and the like. They consist
of nothing but flannel, plain and
striped; but tho plain with striped
vest is better wear than the all stripe,
because less conspicuous and the
more permanent The model is more
conventionalized than is necessary.
The pointed basque fits snugly
enough for an evening bodice. But
this is French style. Instead of this
close fit and outline, the waist may
be cut full, as a blouse, unlined, and
gathered into a belt. The vest and
falling collar, the latter cut very deep
and square at the back, should be
copied as they are. The severe lino
around the neck, without any relief
of linen or lace, requires a fair, round
throat and youthful freshness as its
complement; it is then extremely be
coming. The fullness of tho waist is
simply laid in folds to shape it into a
cuff, and tho folds stitched down.
Pinking is revived this season, and is
used in charming ways to give n ruf
fled effect to tho edge of dresses
that is, to the foot of tho skirt, not
the drapery, which is more elegant if
plain than when trimmed.
Reducing: the Surnlus.
The disposition ot the Surplus in the

our Statesmen, but a more vital question
has our attention, and that is the reduc
tion of the Surplus Consumptives. Since
the discovery and introduction of I)r.
King's New Discovery for Consump
tion, there has been a marked decrease
in the mortality from this dreaded dis
ease, and it Is possible to still further re
duce tho number of Consumptttes.
Uow? By keeping constantly at hand
a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery,
and using according to directions, upon
the appearance of the first symptoms,
such as a Cough, a Cold, a Sore Throat
a Chest or Side Pain. Taken thus early
a cure is guaranteed.
