"Anything that Divine Providence permits to happen, a newspaper man should not bo too proud to report." This is one of the reasons why a newspaper prints tho news. Tho Traiuhant is the name of a paper received, published at Town, send, Montana. The editor of the "I'raticJiant" evidently believes spell ing to bo a matter of private judg ment. "Grandfather's Clock" is the name of n new play which will bo brought out the present season. It it will only "go" as did tho one which has been so much sung about, thoro's monoy in it.

Taking warning by two fires the town of Aberdeen, on Gray'a harbor, has bought a hand engine and hose cart in Salem for 3125 and will or ganize a lire department to battle with the lurid leveler. In the police court yesterday Jos. Burns got off very light 15 days or S30, judge Jewett, not desiring to bring little girls into court to givo testimony, simply fined him on a con victed chnrge of drunkenness. The clerk and recorder of the Su preme court at Salem is believed to be the best paid official in the state. Before the business so greatly in creased the place was worth SS.000 a year, and it is, doubtless, worth more now. Joggles was in for a minute yes terday aud said he'd seen n man painting the gable eud of a house three colors, and added that that was a gablendingof colors. Joggles seems to grow worse that way as lie grows oldor. That was a great game of baseball at New York last Monday, between the Now Yorks nud 1 iladelphias. The game was called at the eleventh iuuing on account of darkness. The score then stoed: New Yorks, 0; Philadelphias, 0. Mr. Kiudred yesterday filed a plat of a new town ho has laid out be tween the military reservation east of Fort Stevens and the site for the new Jifo saving station. Several lots are already purchased. He thinks he will call tho new town Cornersville. A 3230,000 fire burned the business center of Baker City last Wednesday morning. This, with McMinnville and The Dalles, makes three big fires iu the state inside of a week. There is a warning in this to Astoria to ex ert the utmost vigilauce, which is the price of safety. The Grisedale arrived in yesterday iu ballast, to load wheat. The Vil alta is reported outside wjth pilot aboard The Vovenby is now due. Latek. The Vilalta, barkentine North Bend, and schooner J. G.

Tho Rritisli mvrornmfint IS about to erect a first-class lighthouse at or near Bonilla point, on the south end of Vancouver island, nearly opposite to Cape Flattery. In addition to the light, which will bo n very powerful one, visible for a long distance at sea, it is the intention to erect a steam fog horn at that point so as to guide vessels in foggy weather. The whole of the Pacific Htates and territories can, no doubt, produce six to seven million tons of sugar, enough to supply 50 per cent, more than the present consumption of nil the civil ized countries. ' Tliat consumption, though, is increasing very rapidly, and it doubles in the United States in about twenty years. Thus in that time it would absorb all the possible production of the state. The value of 3,110,000 tons of sugar would, at five cents per pound, be close on threo hundred nnd fifty million dol lars per annum.

On receiving a dispatch that his sister was dangerously ill iu San Francisco, Dr. Kinney left Thursday night, on the Southern Pacific train for that city. Oram Jicho. SALMON ITEMS. A gentleman from Yaquina states that the fall run of salmon has com menced in earnest, and the canneries aro in active operation. The salmon are largo this year, many of them weighing as high as fifty pounds. The boats of Allen Parker's cannery brought in Sunday night about fifty fish. A large run is expected this week, and the catch of tho season, it is thought, will be much larger than last year. The run has commenced about two weeks earlier than usual. Albany Herald. Tho Skecna river canneries nre full. The fish aro still running, but there are no tins to pack them in. At the river's inlet, Shotbolt, Hart and Dra ney's canneries have secured 12,000 cases of fish and are still running, boats averaging 200 fish per day. The run is unusual, continuing later than any .year since The fishermen at Tillamook bay have organized a union located at Lincoln, Tillamook connty. Vidette. The salmon run so far this season has been very light, and none of the canneries are running more than half time. Many of the Indian fishermen have become disgusted at the scarcity of fish and have gone to the hop fields, .lack himmons, who two years ago made S500 iu two weekB fishing, left for the hop fields yester day. He said he was willing to re main and fish, but he could not get a crew, as tho Indians would not work unless he could promise them 33 per day each, and he could not do that tho way fish aro running at present, aud so he joined the hop brigade. Caunerymen nro not discouraged, for they know that if they do not run now, they will run later. In the meantime they are getting their traps and seines realy, to reap a big harvest when tho fish do come. Se attle Post-Intelligencer, 5. Real Estate Transfers, Jas. Conner to Juo.

Lively Hitcli Up At No. 2's Engine Honse, Who does not enjoy at the theater a well set scenel It is more than half the play to have harmonious sur roundings on tup stage, to have the scenic accessories fit the dialogue, and stage fittings in accordance with the play. Not even to a good actor is applause more heartily or spon taneously awarded than to finely ar ranged and artistic stage fittings. What the setting is to the gem, or the frame to the picture, or the hand some dress to the handsome woman. or tho neat expression to the clever thought, is the Btage to tne actor. There is a fine stage and a clever performance daily in this city. So good is the stage and so excellent the performance that a good many gather to see it. The only difference is that this ia not in a play, it is a bit ot real life, business, regular order. The time is close on to 6 p.u.,the place is Rescue No. 2's engine house. Every thing is scrupulously neat and clean; the Silsby in all the glory ot gleam ing nickel and polished brass is glist ening in the light; "Nick" and "Char ley," the two glossy grays, are champ ing in their stalls; the two kangaroo hounds, "Rescue" and "Mollie." are dozing lazily by the engine; Frank Stewart the driver, and Jas. Hare, the engineer, are close by. Over the tongue of the engine, suspended by cords from the ceiling, hangs the swinging harness. Everything indi cates order, but a casual passer by would presume that five minutes would be required to lead the horses out, hitch them up, gather up the lines, get on the seat, take off the brake, the engineer to get on, and should a fire break out, ten or fifteen minutes more to get steam up suffi cient to pump. SOME LIGHTNING CHANGES. The minute and hour bands on the clock dial are on a straight line, clang! goes the gong; the electrio wires that radiate all over the stalls are doing their work; quick as thought can reach the stars the elec tric current unhitches the horses, the same impulse opens the circuit, closes all the poiuts of contact; the whips at the rear ot the stalls fall across the flanks of the grays, they are at the tongue, in place, almost as soon; "click" go the collars around their necks, two or three snaps of springs, Frank Stewart is in his seat, the lines in bis band, Jimmy Hare is up behind, flames shoot from the smoke stack, the horses are champ ing their bits and tremulous with ex citement, "all ready." Time eight seconds. Pretty work, and cleverly done. Like a Hash ot lightning the whole thing is over before one has time to mentally photograph it; there is no lost time, no false motion, every move counts, and if there is a fire, away they go tearing down the street, tho horboa on the gallop, great spurts of red flame shooting up in the air. a coil of smoke above, a trail of sparks from the lire box below, and by the time the engine is located, there is 25 pounds of steam and the suction being placed all is ready to throw water. It is n triumph of ingenuity: a marvel of swiftness and skill. AH that money can buy or science can devise, is there. This is not an isolated case: tho thing is daily done iu overy city in the country, perhaps just as good. certainly no better. This has its useful aspect, as well as its spectacular effect. One may say "what 8 tho good What difference does a few seconds make?" Let a fire break out. and timo is worth 31,000 a second; when the flames are crackling and properties and values are being licked up by the red destroyer, no angel of tho Lord was ever more welcome than the engines and the saving streams of water. That which wo have faintly de picted above is a vigorous phase of man's duty, and is deserving of news paper notice and popular applause. Krtlucius the Surplus. The disposition ot the Surplus in tup U. S. Treasury engages the attention of 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 Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump tion, there lias been a marked decrease in Hie mortality from this dreaded dis ease, and it is possible to still furtherie ducc tlie number of Consumptives, llnw?

Five other employes were bruised and scalded, but none' seriously. a ciuzy. man's deed. Columbus, Ind., Sept. C. Last night Jas. Ford, a farmer, while cra zy, sprang from his bed and made an attack upon his wife and two chil dren. He seized a chair and knocked down the baby, killing it, and fatally injured his.wife and 10-year-old son. It required eight men to manage the delirious man. A HARD CONDITION. New York, Sept. G. A refugee from Gainesville, Florida, makes tho following statement: While Jackson ville alone of the hundred Florida towns is battling with the epidemic of yellow fever, the whole state is suffering almost as badly from isola tion of quarantine, and the -cost to her citizens will reach into the mill ions. The first few days presented sights that made tho bravest despondent. The first panic lasted about a week and carried off fully thirty thousand people flying without means, nnd scarcely a change of clothing, from the scourge. Every county has its own board of health and quarantine officers are stationed at every point where any kind of a road enters tho county lines. No person can pass without a satisfactory bill of health. Some towns have as many as seven quarantine stations on the samo lino of road within oue county's limit. Florida is a charming resort in tho winter, but life among her fragrant groves is not as delectable now as then. A 'NVariiins. The modes of death's approach aro various, and statistics show conclu sively that more personsdio from dis eases of tho Throat and Lungs than any other. It is probable that every one, without exception, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Qorms iuto tho system aud where these germs fall upon suitable soil they start iuto life and develop, at first slowly and is shown by a slight tickling sensation in tho throat and if allowed to con tinue their ravages they extend to the lungs producing Consumption and to the head, causing Catarrh. Now all this is dancerons and if allowed to proceed will in timo cause death. At the onset yon must act with prompt ness; allowing a cold to go without yonr attention is dangerous and may lose you your life. As soon as you leet mat something is wronc with your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, ob tain a bottle of Isoschees German Syrup. It will give you immediate relief. At a Great Disadvantage. The salvation army of this citv is still sadly in need of some girls. Un til a lass or two is sent here the bar racks will be located under tho citv hay scales.
