The feeling seemed to be 'general that a combination would be tt fected and the matter will be finall set--tied today. ... An alleged Presbyterian minister, who camo to town from Lewis county last week, is In the dual business of peddling stoveilfters and writing poems to widows. He says he is trying to raise a mortgage on his farm. . Baits were commenced In the circuit court yesterday by Wiley B. Allen and J. Q. " A. Bowlby, executors of the will of Louis Wilson, against J. H. D. Gray for $206.97, goods sold and delivered, and Astoria Box Co. vs. J. H.- D. Gray to re cover. $286.33. A suit was commenced in the circuit court yesterday by Henry F. Nurnburg against Mary F.

A majority of the creditors were represented, but no final election was made of an assignee.. W. W, Parker had tho weight of the voles on his side and H. G. Van Ousen was nom inated as his opponent County Clerk Trenchard decided that Parker could not vote the amount of his own debts for himself, to which his attorneys objected. ' A transcript of testimony and proceedlrlgs will be submitted to Judge McBride on Monday at the opening of the Circuit Court and the assignee will then be ap pointed. Sioux City,, "the Corn Palace City of the world," is arranging to hold another of its unique and peculiar festivals this year. The date of opening Is fixed for J. G. Blaine's First Big Speech. September 20th, continuing until October 18th, 1893, and the management promises attractions that shall far surpass any thing heretofore 'presented. It is ex pected that many of the thousands who will attend the World's Fair can be in duced to extend their vtstit to Sioux City and view the marvels in cereal dec oration which will be so perfectly shown, and at the same time gain a correct Idea of the' greatest corn producing territory on the globe. - Some one has Imposed upon the Port- landTtlegram about that awful experience of deer hunters freezing to death near 8il Creek falls during the storm a few days ago. Writing on this subject from Meha- ma, F. W. Hull gays: "I think the nara- tlve is a canard, false from beginning to end. Whoever set such story afloat in tended a false personification o myself (in my opinion). Still there may ba a person by the name of F. W. Hull in Mehama or Marlon county. I think not. I do not know of three hunters as named in said relation; . nor the old bachelor trapper Wolf; nor have I heard of any such calamity happening to any hunters at all this season." . - China gin was flying around yesterday very freely and some of the sailors in port were not slow to accept the gener- not -r rsr thA rncr Innn rPnin- tn Dll Ut l UV iUUUt)UltiMlDi J. T VJ ituo started In making New Year's calls about ten o'clock In the morning and kept it up till three In the afternoon when the liq uor seemed to have got so good a held on them that they had to be escorted home by sympathizing friends. They have a man in the Washington legislature who knows how to express himself. In explaining his vote he in dulged In this climax. "You may 'hang Puget Sound on a tall tree to dry; you may place Mount RJTiler on a noil keg, unbucklV the belly-band of eternity, but you will never get me to vote for a man I do not believe entitled to a seat in this house." In the office of the secretary of state at Salem Wednesday articles of Incor poration were filed as follows: Franklin Fruit Land Co., of Portland; capital stock $15,000; Odd Fellows' Temple association, of Portland, capital stock, $100,000; Incor porators, A. G. Walling, AV. A. Wheeler, W. Y. Nasters. Gravel Ford Creamery association, of Coos county, capital stock, $10,000, incorporators, J. D. Barklow and others. One of the apprentices on the ship Hel enslea was a daily enquirer .at the ex press office for a small box which he seemed very anxious to get. Tuesday the ship sailed and yesterday a small tin box addressed to Andrew Larson came to the express office and from Us appear ance there is little doubt that it contained a piece of wedding coke. This was the secret of the little fellow's anxiety, and now he will have to sleep with hard tack under his pillow and try to dream of his future bride without his coveted package, Thomas Ogle, of the firm of Ogle Bros., the well-known sheep-growers, says the East Oregonian, was lately surprised by the receipt of a government check for $300 In payment - of his Indian depredation claim. He had -heard nothing of the claim for so long that he supposed' it had been filed away among the archives and forgotten. Mr. Ogle had a horse and a lot of clothing stolen by the Indians in 1878. B. F. Ogle has as yet received no intelligence in regard to his claim, which is a large one, the amount befhg $4,100. his home on Bear creek and much stock and hay were destroyed. The South Bend case was tried yester day before Judge Langhorn at South Bend.' Mr. R. K. Boney appeared for the defendants and Mr. G. C. Fulton for D. O. Parmeter, the plaintiff. Mr. Parmeter asked that Barney as county auditor and clerk of the county commissioners be re strained from carrying out the result of the balloting for county seat and offices. The court held that the petition could not be granted; that the plaintiff could not go behind the returns and that the action of the county commissioners was judicial and binding. The case will be Immediate ly appealed to the Supreme court. Dr.J. B. Mahana. of Sunnyside, presi dent of the Single Track Railway com pany, says the Oregonian, proposes to erect an elevated car line on East Taylor street from the river to Sunnystde. . He presented the project to the attention of the. Sunnyside Improvement , association at its last meeting, and the members were greatly interested in the statement made. He presented an array of facta and fig ures In relation to the line to show that it Is perfectly feasible. Among other thliigs lie said he had obtained the signa tures of a number of property owners on j:-5 T!'-r xtr--t to the city, council for The members of the Oregon State Breeding and Speed association held a meeting Wednesday night at Salem and raised the capital stock of the association from $2,690 to $5,000. The next meeting will be held on July 4th, 5th and 6th, and there Is already every Indication that the meeting will be a success. On Saturday, Feb. 25th, the association will meet again when officers will be elected and a com mittee be' appointed to prepare a speed program. It has been decided to conduct a colt show on the 5th, and premiums amounting to $100 will be offered for colts. It 1b likely the North Pacific Breeders' association will go to Salem for a meet ing some time in August. The late cold snap, says the Oregonian, was very unpleasant while it lasted, but It will prove beneficial in many ways, For the past four years there has been a total absence of natural ice in the market here, and as this has been one of the best ice producing winters known to the old est inhabitant, everyone Interested in the ice business has endeavored to lay' in a full supply. Every available house in The Dalles and along the Upper Colum bia has been filled to its utmost capacity. Many who complain bitterly of the cold snap will, when they are eating ice cream and drinking mint Julep. and feasting on watermelon lined with cnampagne frappe next July, thank their lucky stars because of the Ice. The last rock has teen dumped on the jetty, and work has been suspended for the annual repairs, and general over hauling. About ono month will be con sumed for this." The barges have all been removed 4j$p Young's river and four of them will receive entire new docks. Bids are being asked by advertisement for 100,000 tons of rock with tho privilege of double that amount. The latter quantity will be required, but It hinges upon what congress will do In the way of appropria tion before a contract can be made. It only requires about $175,000 more to com plete this great work, which has proved one of the most successful engineering feats of the character ever undertaken, and the money should be forthcoming at once. If there should be a year's delay in securing the appropriation the cost of completion would in all probability, be double what Is now required.. ' The last soundings made by the Manzanlta when changing buoys showed thirty and one- half feet of water on the bar. The Oregon State School Journal has been purchased by parties who are or ganizing a stock company. Its name has been changed to The Western Pedagogue, The State School Journal of Oregon. C. Elton Blanchard, a teacher well known on the coast, has accepted the editorship, and the prospects for the paper are better than they have ever been before. Mr. Blanchard Is an educator and writer of long expedience and has called to his sup port some of the best educational writers. The new organization has plenty of capital to push the enterprise to a suc cess never before attained. The paper should, and will without the least doubt, receive the hearty support of the teachers and school officials of the state. Under these circumstances the organ will serve the school public to a valuable advantage. The March Issue, the first number under the new management, will be mailed the last week of February. The home . of the paper will now be at its former loca tion, . Corvallls, Oregon, "The Heart of the Williamette Valley," the seat of our Agricultural college. NOTICE. v This was nearly one-third of a contury ago, in tho memorable Lincoln and Ham lin canvass of ISO). For all I can learn to the contrary, it, was Blaine's first regular campaign speech, which he was delivering in various parts of Maine a set speech, no doubt, but delivered with 1 out notes and having all the appearance of spontanlety, . Blaine was only .thirty years old and scarcely known to fame outside of his county. To be sure he had won some dis tinction as editor of "The Kennebec Journal"; as a rising and smart young politician, and as a delegate in 1856 to the National Republican Convention. Hence, this particular address, which I heard him deliver In the Bridgeton Town House on the evening of July 6, 1800, and In which, in the slangy political par lance of the time, he "hooped er up, boys," marked an epoch In the career of the great Republican chief, which also furnishes an interesting and personal reminiscence. - - His speech, in one respect, was not only odd but unique, in that he selected a pas sage of scripture as a text for his "politi cal sermon." And this is how his speech opened, which I am able to quote cor rectly from memory: , "Mr. President and fellow citizens: It gives me great pleasure to see such a great gathering of the people here to night; so many- earnest, freedom-loving, loyal Republicans; an omen' of Republi can success, so pronounced and so in spiring as to thrill with joy and hope the whole Republican host throughout the length and breadth of our' mighty land from the rock-bound bay of Mada waska to the Golden Gate of San Fran cisco; from the wood-fringed shores of Lake Superior to the surf-beaten coast of the Gulf of Mexico! (Great applausa) "My remarks this evening will be de voted principally to a discussion of State Issues in general, and to the life and suf- j ferlngs of the Democratic f Igurehc-ad, Mr. Ephralm K. Smart, " in particular.' (Laughter.) "Now, fellow citizens, I trust thai I shall not be deemed sacrilegious for no sacrilege is intended it 1 select as a basis for my remarks, as' a foundation for my humble political sermon, a passage from Holy Writ. The words of my. text you will find ' in the seventh chapter of Hosea, eighth verse, and are as follows: " 'Ephralm, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephralm Is a cake not turned.' "Yes, fellow citizens, Ephralm Is a cake not turned, and now I propose to turn him!" And such a turning! It was perfectly awful. Point after point, saying, after saying, deed after deed, marking the po litical career of the vainglorious Ephralm K. Smart was taken Up by "Professor" Blaine, dissected by "Doctor" Blaine, and satirized by "Speaker" Blaine. And when at the end of an hour or more he bowed and took his seat, there was a perfect Niagara of laughter, of hand clapping and foot-stamping. WAKKIIOVSS STORAOE.

The World's Pair Sirectors Have 5,000,000 Souvenir Half Dollar' Coins in their treasury, the gift of the American people by Act of Congress. ' The patriotic and histonc features of these Coins and their limited number, compared with the millions who want them our population is 66,ooo,000 have combined to create so great a demand for these World's Fair Souvenir Coins that they are already quoted at large premiums. Liberal offers from speculators, who wish to absorb them and reap enormous profits, have been rejected for the reason that This is the People's Fair--We Are the People's Servants and a divided sense of duty confronts us We need $5,000,000 to fully carry out our announced plans, and We have decided to deal direct with the people---To' whom we are directly responsi ble among whom an equitable distribution of these National heirlooms should be made. The World's Fair Offer to the American People: That none of our plans for the people's profit be curtailed we ' must realize from the sale of 5,000,000 Souvenir World's Fair Fifty cent Silver Coins the sum of $5,000,000. This means $1.00 for each Coin, a much smaller sum than the people would have to pay for them if purchased through an indire medium. Every patriotic man, woman and child should endeavor to own and cherish one of these Coins, as they will be valuable in future years-a cherished object of family pnde. , - ' Remember that only 5,000,000 Coins must be divided among could be sold at a high premium to Syndicates", but we have enough confidence in the people to keep the price at a Dollar for each Coin, as this will make us realize $5,000,000 the sum needed to open the Fair's gates on the people's broad plan. HOW tO Get Go to yuf ntT Bank and subscribe for as many Tt r coins as yu neal fr vour family and friends.
