The joint debate on the money ques- i tion which began Thursday afternoon waa closed Friday a ternoon in the Chau­ tauqua building in the preBence of a large audience. T. T. Geer maintained the single gold standard position of the Re­ publican platform, E. Hofer of Salem spoke for the Union-bimetallic party and John A Jeffreys supported the free coin­ age of silver from the People’s Party standpoint. The debate bas excited con­ siderable public interest, the attendance being good both days. The presence of a large number of ladies, both young and old, was a conspicoua feature and the close atention given by them to everv phase of the discussion was a noticeable contrast to the indifferent interest they have heretofore evinced in political matters. The subject seemed to be fascinating to all present and notwithstanding the warm weather, the people sat through the two and a half hours to the close each day. The order of debate was conducted bv a committee consisting of Senator S. H. Holt, J. C. Whipp of Jacksonville and M. F. Eggleston. The debate pro­ ceeded with marked good humor and decorum so that there wm little tor the chairman, Mr. Eggleston, to do beyond the introduction of the speakers and at­ tention to the division of time as arrang­ ed by the committee. All parties were well represented in the audience in num­ bers sufficient to give plenty of encour­ agement to their respective champions. Farmer Geer, whose colloquial Btvle of discourse is familiar to many of our peo­ ple, had an hour each day while Messrs. Hofer and Jeffreys had forty minutes each, in oppositien. The speeches were all good and the effect of the debate, though it may have convinced no one, will be beneficial in directing the atten­ tion of many people to the great nation­ al 'ssue which has heretofore taken but little hold in their minds. The majority of male listeners however were old stud­ ents of finance who watched the fencing of the champions like amateurs who are familiar with all the points of the ring themselves and applauded vigorously whenever a score was made for their side. Antl-Chinese Agitation. Sissons, August 14 — The Chinese trouble which came near stopping work on the Sisson and McCloud River Rail­ road has at least been adjusted to the t-atisfaction of all concerned. The labor­ ing men were not at first willing to ac­ cept the proposition of the railroad com­ pany to allow the use of seventyfive and no more Chinese on the works till No­ vember 15th.They held a meeting and sent the manager of the company word that if they could not build the road without the use of Chinese to stop the work. However, after a second consideration and assurance being given that the com­ pany would abide by its agreement, thev consented to the propos tion advanced hy the company. The Chinese have not yet been replaced on the work, but ar­ rangements are being made to do so within a day or two, and no opposition is looked for from the workingmen. Sheriff Hobbs and District Attorney Ray nee, who have been in town since the commencement of the trouble, re­ turned to Yreua to-day, satisfied that they weie no longer needed. Successful G. A. R.

The following new of­ ficers were elected: District Commander, J. E. Peterson, of Grants Pass; Senior Vice Commander, L. Pape, Gold Hill; Junior Vice Com­ mander, W. K. Davie, Medford; Quar termaster, W. H. Beidler, Gold Hill; Chaplain, C. A. Stine, Ashland; Sur- geon, J. S. Herndon, Ashland; Ordi­ nance Officer, James Elliott. Gold Hill was selected as the place of meeting for the next reunion to be held in Septem­ ber 1897. tbe exact date to be named by the officers hereafter. The newly elected officers were duly installed in their respective offices by S. V. C.,T. E. Hills. A vote of thankB to the people of Ashland in general was adopted; also to Comrade Jas. Elliott, artillerist, E. Youmens and G. C. Coy, the chief cooks, tbe drum corps and all past officers for the manner in which they had discharged their duties. A com­ mittee consisting of S. H. Dunlap, C. A. Stine and J. R. Casey, were appointed to draft an order of business for the next reunion meeting. Friday afternoon was occupied by a continuation of the finan­ cial debate in the Chautauqua building which drew away most of the people from the camp. At night there was a big camp fire, largely attended, at which speeches were made by General T. J. Thorp of Washington county, and others. The veterans broke camp on Saturday and dispersed to their several homes. Before doing eo however, tbey indulged in a grand feast for which an elaborate table richly laden with the choicests viands Ashland affords had been spread by tbe families of the old soldiers. The attendance at tbe reunion this vear was small as compared with that of last year, but all who werd present ap­ peared to enjoy themselves as is their wont at these assemblies.

The Wonderful Effect on Enormous Waves. A Curious Sight. One of the most curious sights at sea is that of an oil bound ship. Every up to date ship carries oil tanks, tho quantity varying with the size of the vessel. For instance, a steamer of 150 tons burden carries on an average 60 gallons "8f oil. Thia oil is the refuse discarded by the oil refining factories and often consists of a mixture of whale oil, petroleum and vegetable oiL It costs about twopence a gallon, and a large sized vessel can be well sup­ plied for 20 shillings. The oil is stowed in spacious zinc tanks, arranged in the hold of tho ship to act as ballast. Each tank contains 50 gallons of oil, and an ingenious mechan­ ical tap arrangement connects the tank with the outside of the vessel. If a dangerous gale arises and the ship becomes unmanageable and likely to founder, the sluices are opened, and 20 gallons or more of tho oil is allowed to escape into the sea. The effect is instantaneous. However stormy the sea may be, the vessel lies in a gently heaving millpond. There is no further danger of foundering, and FROM ASHLAND. the oil moves along with tho vessel for C P Jones, D co, 5th Mo inft some time, often half an hour, after H E Slocum.

MYER + HARDWARE and TINWARE | pure Public School Lectures. It is a good sign that these are in- jreasing. In some of the cities tho feen- srosity of private individuals of wealth enables the working people to attend lectures in the halls of the publio school houses at stated intervals during tho winter season. Some of tho state legis­ latures have made provision for the ap­ propriation of small sums from the pub­ lic school fund to pay the lecturers. This is perhaps the best way. Cities in states in which no such provision is made for free lectures to tho people ought to bring the matter before their legislatures without delay. New York state has such a law. Tho report o^ tho lecture course in New York city during the past season shows that 1,040 admirable lectures were given to the people, chiefly at the public school buildings. In most instances the speakers received a very trifling fee, but there was no charge for admission to the people. The audiences at these sittings were literally an uprising of tho peo­ ple. Men iu their working clothes, tlioso who had only paused long enough to swallow a bit of food after coming borne from their 10 hours' toil, hastened to tho hall to get good seats. The attendance at all the lectures for the season reached the remarkable flgureof 392,733. Next year it will probably be 500,000. The people almost climb over one another in their eagerness to learn. In the large cities the audience at tho public school free lecture is always composed of many foreigners, those who particularly need instruction iu Amer­ ican ways—such of our ways as are good, that is. The course in Now York city included lectures on American his­ tory and American statesmen, on our national government and city govern­ ment, also on civil service reform. Nat­ ural science, art, literature and music received a full share of attention. So also did foods, hygiene, care of the eyes, teeth, etc. One of the most commend­ able topics of instruction in some of the cities was alcohol and its effects on the human system. Every department of instruction has had justice done it by the many lecturers except perhaps one. That is the department of ethics. It is all very well for common people to un­ derstand the use of the microscope, but will that: teaoh them to bo honest and kindly, to lead clean, wholesome lives and to livo up to the golden rule? That is the teaching the people need today, and it can be given to them without a trace of theology being mixed with it either. When the bicycle was first invented, it was considered a remarkable achieve­ ment for a wheelman to travel 100 miles a day. Now that is nothing at all uncommon for men and not very ra- markable for strong women riders. One or two men have accomplished 400 miles iu 24 hours and not u few have made 200 miles in that lengt h of time. Much of this increased speed is to be set down of course to improved roads anti improved bicycles. No matter whence the increase cf speed comes, however, it is just as much of a gain. It has long been known that one man upon a bicycle can outrun a fast trotting horse and keep up tho pace much lon­ ger. The crowning glory of wheelmen was, however, uttaiped tho other day when a sextuplct bicycle outtravelcd for a short distance tho fastest express train on the New York Central road. Six athletes and expert wheelmen re­ solved 8QIB0 ago to make tho race. They trained for it «specially, and at a given point, near Syracuse, mounted up­ on a bicycle built for six, they boldly pedaled out abreast of the rushing tx*in. In a half mile spurt they gained four of the lengths of their cyvu machine urbn tho train. What they could have done in a greater distance cvuld not be ascer­ tained then and there, for they had to slow up for a bridgo. But they proved, as far as they wcut, that man’s will A Village Rising Boll.
