L Davis, proprietor of the well known Black Percheroo horse, Ore gon, will, after March 16th, during the season, las at John Kamna's, Farmington, from Monday morning to Tuesday noon; at Arthur Flints', Mcholls, from Tuesday afternoon to Thursday morning; at Lystrop's, Reedville, from 10 a. m. to 4 p. in., Thursday; at Forest Omve, Friday, aud at home barn, IUIlsboro, Bat nrday. - On Monday last, Bincence Vieth, a yoting man who works in KyleV raw mill, north of Cede.r Mill, got his right band In contact with the saw while if was in motion and a bad laceration was the result, ex tending even into the wrist. - Dr. Bailey, assisted by Dr. Wood, dres sed the wound. The middle finger and Its attachments were removed from the wrist. It is thought that the remainder of the band can be saved. A.D.McOahey was before Recorder Bagley sitting as a committing mag. istrato, charged with assault and battery on the erson of lis wife. There Is not much doubt of the i assault but at the examination the memory of the witnesses proved to be defective though there was evi dence enough to justify the court to impose a fine of 20 and cost1. The defendant went to jail. This, is the first he will have earned in many a day. The popular verdict Is, that the sentence is just, unless the court erred in the amount of fine impos ed. Three months in ' jail might have been better. In the abaence of Dist. Ally. Tongue, Benton Bow man conducted the prosecution. On Bunday last, the residence of W.JI. Weir, on the mountain eight miles noith of Oleneoe, caught fire and was entirely consumed. The spread of the flames werr so rapid that tbo furniture and bedding of the second story went with the rcit, A few articles from the first story were saved. One Inmate of the house who was in the bath room es caped with a, single garment. The fire caught from a defective Iron stove pipe. The loss will foot up to 1800 or $1,000. No insurance. The fire is more than ordinarily unfortu nate. Mr. Weir la advanced in years, being 72 years of age and quite infirm. His land is mostly covered with timber which has little or no immediate value and the re building ot the residence will be a heavy burden. The pride of Washington county are the seven sequoia gigantea stand ing in the court house square, south of the building. These trees were plsnted 15 or 1C years ago, as llttleshrubs. Capt. R. Crandall was county Judge and urged the setting of the switches which came from Porter's uursery near Forest Grove. There were eight ol them at first but they all died except one, the srrond, from the front gate, on the right. Next year, the dead ones were replaced. All these lived ex cept the second on the left of the walk. It was replaced the third lime but died. A white walnut was then plant"!. It grows, but what a (-outran'! The walnut tree is hardly ten foe' hltth and two iiichea in di ameter, while the big Imi of 1'al avrra" (hough only two years older, re 45 fu t hiRh and 27 inches in diameter, 1 fcait . atove the ground. The sequoia: ar making a vigorous growth and bid fair to reach the pro portions attained on their native mountains. These seven are the only ones known to be growiug in the Valley and for a time it was thought that the "big tree" would not grow away from Calaverua county. One of the court yard group has met with an accident. In some way, the tip of the centre shoot baa been broken, probably by the weight of a bird that perched on the high place. The trees are beauties and we aie all justly vain that we have them. amnios, u. tongue Conoention Held at Rosburg April 1st KOM HATED BY AtlLJliTIO.N Bettewef t'oar teaveatioas aad Mr. Taagae's Sajsritj In t'sriasr (eatesst. p0P the fourth time Thos. Tongue, luf this county, has beeu nominated . ... uy lue repuuiicin conveuuou oi iu First District, for representative In Congress. In 1S9G, after a close con teat, he was nominated by the con vention in Albany where there were a number of caiididaisa. His elec tion followed in June but bl plural iiy was less than 100 votes. He made a personal canvass that year, speaking once or more In each county in his-district. That fall, at the presidential election, the district was carried for Bryan though the Btale went for McKloley. Mr. Tongue again made speeches in the fall can vas and was considered the ill out effective vote getter who took the stump. In 1898, the convention was held In Eugene and Mr. Tongue was nominated wilhoutnppoaition though the politicians, both in Oregon and in Washiug inn, bad no hope of his election. He bad the Bryan plural ity of more than 1000 voles to over come before be could think of get ting a majority for himself. Very many of the shrewd workers thought the thing could not he done. It was probably this very uncertainty that made It easy to get the nomination. Mr. Tongue was in Washington and he stayed tbero faithfully, per forming the duties of his office. His friends here, while perhaps, not having the same confidence that suc cess would come, went to worn. When the votes were counted, he had not only destroyed the Bryan plurality, hut bad more than a thousand to the good. To bis Washington associates, on both sides of the bouse, this was a great surprise but not equally relished. The free silver democrats saw, what they had suposed to tie a safe dis trict, slip away from ' them. Two years later, in 1900, there was op position to bis nomination, though it was rot so formidable as to require a ballot. The nomination was pract ically settled by a ballot taken on a question in the organization of the convention. The election was a rep etition of that of '93 only with a more decided majority. All this was done without Mr. Tongue's per sonal preheoce in his district. This year, the nomination has come be cause the people have demanded it. Thev note bia good work, bis blgh standing on committees and with the administration, bis industry, and the fidelity with which he espouses their Interests that they refuse to listen to talk of an exchange. His course in congress is takeu and maintained be cause it is riirht, not because he would play to the galleries. Ltal summer when the msjoriiy of con greasiii.n were renting, during the summer vacation, he was doing the harden kind of work with the Riv ers and Harbors Committee, not even staying with the committee on its earned junket to Alaska, but at home arranging for the trip of 'he committee up the Columbia and Snake rivers flowing through the hot plains of Eastern Oregon. The result of this labor is seen in the lib era I treatment accorded to Rivers and Harbors in the Northwest. In truth it Is not Mr. Tongue's pleasure or honor that Is consulted in this unanimous re nomination, but the peoples' rail to a man who does their business intelligently, promptly, efficiently and with dignity. t HON.

COUNTY CONVENTION Union Partu Held Concen tion Yesterday NOSUATE rt'LL COUSTT TICKET Neadaatlens fer Coaatr OHlcers Went Begging The County Convention of the Union party, assembled in the court bouse yesterday forenoon.

Mr. Bernard asked to be left off. His request waa granted, The next ballot selected J. L. Smith B.U, Leedy J J. Wirts and T. S Weatherred. It is noticable that whereas the democrats, two years ago, bold a separate convention to elect delegates to the Democratic State Convention and then joined the Union Convention to nominate county officers, this year no demo cratic convention was held but the work of sending delegates to the democratic state convention was taken up by the Union party. Many names were put before the convention ror representatives. One delegate proffered his Hon O E Ed son, conditioned that be would sat isfactorily explain bis votes for U S Senator In the last legislature.
