He. had gone up town that morning in his usual health and returning about 8 o'clock was stricken when almost home, and wa3 not able to speak when he reached home. Funeral services will be held at the Presbyterian church Friday at 10' o'clock a. m conducted by Rev. Samuel Harris. Uncle Joe Reavis is dead. Those five words contain a message that causes genuine sorrow in the hearts of the people of this city and county. "Uncle Joe" he was to us all, the kinship being of the heart, the fa milar name always spoken In affec tion and respect. Uncle Joe received only what le first gave. No larger heart ever throbbed In a human breast. Like Abou Ben Adem, he loved his fellow man, and made that love manifest in his dally life. Always kindly and cheerful, his face was a bene diction to many weary workers. Did you ever hear Uncle, Jqe say an un kind word about anybody? The chlefe3t among his many, vir tues was his thoughtfulness the rarest as well as the choicest gift that is given man. He always did the right thing in the right way at the right time. of Peter Sullivan, appellant, vs. J. M. Blakely; from Union county; Wil liam Smith, judge; reversed; opinion by Chief Justice Moore.

Hill will not extend the Oregon Trunk beyond the O.eson line but will confine his operations in connection with that project to developing this atate. Stories to the effect that, the altlmate destination of the Oregon Trunk is San Francisco were denied by Mr. H1U this week, who said: 'All the bul'.dlng the line will do will De done In Oregon. There is plenty of room for new feeders in the state and the mileage which we intend to add to our system will be confined to Oregon. We have no Intention of entering California."

Life on board a submarine Is essen tially "In common." The way men mid many objects nre crnnmied to gether in n narrow space Is almost miraculous. Cooking is done In nn electric oven, and no foods which have n strong or disagreeable smell nre used. Of course RinoUiiij,' is allowed only when on the surface and then on the bridge. Ow ing to the character of the men select ed discipline Is perfect. There Is scarcely any noise In a sub marine when submerged. The greatest depth the boat descends does not ex ceed thirty feet. At that depth her speed Is about R knots. The nlr Is quite "breathable" for four hours, but In case of emergency the crew can re main closed In for seventy hours with out danger. The men lore the life. With the offi cers they are as one family. fthnring everything equally. Including the dan gers, wiucn nre not much to speak of. provided every one does his duty. When the weather Is fair there Is very little rolling. In rough weather the men escape knocking about by holding on to "steadying lines." New York i ress.

Life aboard a submarine Is not so unpleasant or dangerous as one might Imagine, but it Is entirely different from that led on other types of ships. The crew, usually consisting of two officers and fourteen men. Is selected from volunteers after a most rigid medical examination. Service rarely extends beyond n period of two yeurs. and reul work on a submarine la limit ed to about three weeks In the sum mer and one la the winter. During the remainder of the time the men live on a "parent' ship or on shore. The bont is, however, put through the various evolutions once every week. The first Impression on entering a submarine Is one of heat, the air being rather close and honvy, but the men soon become accustomed to It. Stand ing room spnee Is about six and one half feet, and toward both ends the boat tapers away almost to n point. There are no portholes. The hntebway In the conning tower is the only aper ture.

Piers are being constructed for tha Parker Bottom crossing. The grade at the North oast now extends to Parker Bottom, 12 mile3 south of North Yakima. JURIES IN ENGLAND. Thay Get Through Their Work Quickly and With Little Fuss. The working of the British Jury sys tem exhibits a marked contrast with that of our own. It Is possible that my experience In British courts was ex ceptional, but in not a single Instance did I see a Juror chnllengod or reject ed. In nil of the courts requiring Ju ries the necessary number of men were present, nnd they were sworn In without question. In the sheriff's dep uty court In Scotland the presiding Judge gave notice to the Jury that ho expected to adjourn the court at 2 o'clock nnd stated that If they could all remnln until that hour ho would at once dismiss the men who hnd been called for a second pnnel. The Jurors conferred together and decided to re main till 1 o'clock, whereupon the Judge notified the other men to appear at 12:30. The one Jury impaneled for the morning session rendered six ver dicts In cases Involving prosecutions ror thefts, fraud nnd burglnry. In the court of quarter sessions at Taunton, England, I saw a single Jury In one day render eleven verdicts. I found that it was customary la the several sorts of court that 1 attended for the same Jury to net In successive cases. In no instance did I see a Jury leave their seats to make up their ver dict. Usually the Issue before them was made so plnln that all who gave attention knew In advance what the decision would lie. I mode note of an exceptional InMnnce of delay when the court was forced to wait nine minutes for the report of the Jury. In this cose the Judge who gave the Instructions was himself In doubt as to what the verdict ought to be. A Scottish Jury consists of fifteen persons, and a majority may render a verdict. In Englnud the number Is twelve, and tinnnlmlty Is required. But I noted no difference as to practical result In tho two countries. The twelve men In the English Jury were as prompt and certain In tbelr action as were the eight out of fifteen in the Scottish Jury.-McClure't Magazine.
