A dispatch from Kantai CitV of Mon day last aaya that there wag a Combina tion of iuow, sleet and rain that worn lug in that part of the Southwest, with freezing weather prevailed from the Ne braska Hue to Texas. At Iei Moinee, la., a heavy mow atorm prevailed all day and further damage to fruit wai done in that vicinity. The Milwaukee, Wine., Sentinel ha instituted another "beauty" conteat and announce! that it will give prize next fall to those whooe back varde show the greatest Improvement in appearance from now until September. Such aeon- test ail that is commendable and if en tered into heartily would make a mark ed improvement in this town. Seven years ago the wife of J. J. Sal finger, of Mel roue, Minnesota, died, and she was buried in the cemetery near that city. I-act week her husband had the InhIv removed to another lot. The body was found to have turned to solid st'uie, and it took eiitht men to raise it from the grave. The features were as natural as when interred excepting a part of the nose hail disappeared. The body was perfect. Henry Muldrnm, former United States Surveyors ieneral of Oregon, ia on bis way home from Washington. When he reaches Portland ofTlcera will meet him at the train and conduct him to McNeil's Island where he will be imprisoned for the term of three years, and also pay a line of $r,500. He was convicted nearly three years ago on an indictment of 21 counts, charging him with fraudulent surveys of government land and collec- tion of fees allowed thereof. The Oregonian of liut Monday morn ing was in every respect a newspaper rellectiuu credit upon Its publishers and the whole slate of Oregon. Start from the Atlantic coast and gather the best of all newspapers published in all the Kreat cities, and von will find none bet ter than The Oregonian, published In the Hose City and the future New York of the Pacific Coast. It was born in it has continued to grow better and bet ter with every issue until it would seem that perfection had been reached. Hut if there is anything better to be had, or anything that will make that great newspaper more welcome to it thousands of readers, its enterprising publishers will certainly find it. We were going to say "success to The Oregonian," but that it alreaily has, and will only add, "sail on ; you're the whole thing on the Pacific coast." The following is from the Heaver State I lurald, and goes to show that if big Dull who violate law against the govern ment and go unpunished, what can be expected a court of justice can do with small llsh who are charged with violat ing much lesser crimes : "A few months am the authorities had a warrant out for J oli n D. Rockefeller and were to sud denly land him in the pen. Have they lone it? In all the years past can you recall the name of a single millionaire grufter or murderer who has Iwen made . to pay the enalty a poor man would .have hud to pav for committing the sumo crime? No. Well, what is the matter? loyon realize, dear reader. that the United States, with all Its boasted power, wealth, intelligence and standing in the world, is the laughing stock of the world? Why? Itecause of the farce made of the enforcement of the law. That's all, and complete enforce ment will come only when the parent by their action, speech ami training in. still into the mind of the boy at his mother' knee the absolute necessity of ol iedicnce to parents, teacher, and to the law of our land. Teach the child the true meaning of crime, instill it into his very being and he is not apt to de part from it. Teach him that a law breaker is in the eye of the law a crim inal; that the one who bleaks the law ol the land, lie it little or big, customary or not, is a law breaker just the same and as such should be punished in order that others may lie deterred from following his example." People now living may never seen the day when not a drop of lienor will be sold as a beveraice in the t'uited States, but the younger one will come pretty near it. The effects of liquor on the human system as taught in the public schools, the evil effects of alcohol that w e encounter every day, and the thous ands iion thoaanda of human wreck that are cast away annually tor no other cause than the blighting curse of strong drink, i slowly but surely working to that end. Public sentiment and state and municipal law seem to be making steady headway against the abuse of stiinnian'.. According to re cently published result of Investigation the medical profession ha been gradu ally almudoning the use of liquors in the sick room. At the seventy-fourth an nual meeting of the ISritish Medical as sociation at Toronto, Canada, Sir Victor llrwly had this to say of th view of. the Fnglish medical profession: "Th profession at home ha th same hostile attitude toward alcohol not only a beverage, which is indulged iu to tio great an extent, but a a drug. The profession at home ha found out what the true value of alcohol U a a diug. and that ia in my opinion, at any rate, absolutely nil. When I wa a student, al cohol waa the traditional leuiedy In sur gery for the post-operative treatment of blood-poisoning, for other operations, for an infectious disease like pneumonia. Now alcohol Is no longei used. In Ii2 the expenditure on milk in scfen gieat hospitals in London wm f 15,000; in W- it was f 40,000. The expenditure in me lima hospital In liijuor in lHti2waf .. 000. Today it I lwtow that figure and i (teadlly falling." Tom Richardson, secretary of the Oregon Ievelopment Lesgue hai been making Inquiries as to w hen it is best to call together the State Leaitue to meet in Portland. We do not know how the date would suit people in other jmi tion ofthetate, but anywhere between the 15th and 2oth of June would aatisfy our resident, providing the days selected could be Friday or Saturday, as on these day he newspaper men of Washington county could get away. If Friday and Saturday ia objectionable, make the date Monday or Tuesday. Harvests. Our hearts are the gurdeus In w hich we plant and sow, We must tie careful of the tares For they will surely grow. The wheat will be of profit, , In the reaping by and bye, Ami if our attempts are worthy, No need to uiouu and sigh. Siifha are only for the mournful Who have nothing much to do, Who haven't Heaven as their Star To hitch their ideals to. Something high we must aspire t , As our journey we pursue. Something good and something worthy, In tins life we battle through. Whst is it we have to live for, If we don't strive to win? What's the use of being worthless In this world of toil aud sin? It we would all strive to lie worthy What a place this world would be If we would all aim the highest, hat a great change we would see. There's a higher power to lend us,' Anil if we II be guided by that hand, We will surely see the riches, . Ol a glorious promised land. II. F. CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS. Service at the M.
