Baker, ex-eUle printer, has sued his wile, Kite Baker, for a divorce In the lUte circuit court Washington's new governor, McBride, has declared war on the big railroad combine, Tbe officials of the Northern Pacific and th. Great Northern railroads deny that (ha merger destroys com petition, but tbe governor is incredulons and is oat with his tomahawk. An example of tbe danger of hyp notism when its practice by lrreiponsi ble parties is permitted has occurred daring tbs past week in Spokane. man was placed In a hypnotic ileep and tbe Identity of the hypnotist is unknown. There was no one to rouse tbe unfortunate man from bis stupor. He bad soml-conscious Intervals when he would partake of food, then relapse into his former condition. Physicians say that bis mind cannot escape being seriously Injured. Seldom If ever, in the history of the country, bat there been sucb an appalling frequency of accidents and disaster ol all kinds as there bas bean In tbe past few months. Accidents on railroads, on the sea, and in mines, bav become so frequent that they excite only passing comment. Msny of these have been caused by carelsssness, bul why there should be en epidemic ol carelessness does not appear. Why these accidents should occur with sucb frequency of late Is a profound puule, Every where tramps, fool puis, thugs and highwaymen are being treated witb nior and more sevsrity. Last week a Portland judg sentenced two bold up men to long terms In the ptinlteatlary, one of tbesa being given a 20 ysar term Such occurrence as the murder ol young Morrow In Portland have made public sentiment toward blgbwaymea and similar criminals very unrelenting. It la aoticesble also that municipal officials generally are taking a mors ever altitude toward tramps and like specimens of mankind and chain gangs re recognised as necessary Institutions Governor User bas declined to extend any clemsnoy to the Portland murder ers, Wade and Palton. Home have ex ported that nation might be panlened as It was Wade that fired the fatal shot and It was Del ton's confession that led to tb arrest of both murderers. This belief however, seems not to have teen well founded. In this regard tb gov ernor says: "When two men start out with guns and a purpose to commit rob bery ,thy gree with themselves, before starting, to murder, If Decenary, In or der to say their own lives. That Is what the guns are for. If the rule is established that tb Uovernor will com' mule tbe sentence of the Informer in such eases, then it will be an, Incentive to such as ars planning robbsrles to pro ceed, with the renewed hope that if murder does accidentally result from the advsnture, tbe one who can get to tbe District Attorney' office first will be saved from the gallows. This would be a loophole throuub which a gleam of hone, and tbsrslor of encouragement, would shin to strengthen those who might be faltering through lack of the necessary courage. This loophole should be closed, It might mak it somewhat bardsr for tbe detectives, but this can be endured, If it should tend to lessen the number of victims of this otterly worthless class of eur people uot only worthless, but dangerous." Admiral Hcbley is a man whs possesses a considerable quantity of good common sens. Before his present visit to Chicago, be remarked that bs would shoot any man who mentioned Hantlsgo to him. This was In regard to a notion which bad gained credence (list he would make that subject a theme fur public talk while in Chicago. He now ssys that bs bas no presidentisl aspire lions whatever snd that be is salislled to be a sailor. Bcbley, when be might be pardoned lor anting uiiierwlse, still cantluues to be a man who is content to let bis reputation rest on deeds, not words. No official criticism can mar the glory ol Hchley's achievements and be will be remembered long alter Nsnip eon, Long and CrowinahielJ are lor gotten. The only way that Bcbley can mar bis reputation is to talk aud be seems to hsve the sound sense to refrain from the verbosity which has brought to grief more than ous bsro ol the Kpauisb American war. Hchley's Journey to Chicago was a continual triumph. He could not b honored ore as president than be is as a sailor. Indeed It is as com uodor railier thsu adaiiral, that be is best remembered and tbe same is true of lewey. Their fame rests on what they did, not on what tbey might or coald have done, and iu this, tbey bave an advantage over Ham peon. Holid achievement is the best foundation lor a reputation and uch a reputation can not be overturned. Already the people bave forgotten tbeu wrath toward Dewey for turning over their gift to his wife and he and Hcbley are two heroes wbom they continue to delight to honor. Coming Event.

In Ike first place we would like to iiilcnu K. Y. Hathaway that be is sadly mistaken and Art Harmon is not the dreamer and kuuas nothing of the uovel Idea as it is termed by the great pull' which has been lately turned loose in the air. Tie on who is writing to the (.'or mm from I if) din, is a man between 46 aud 50 years ol age and baa lived in the valley continuously lor III years. Th manner I'd has acquitted, himself put me in mind ol a six months old bloodhound pup alter his Aral fox, and th fox ran up one side ol an old black stump and doan tbe other and the porp did not know enough to ito to the other aids, but stood and bawled unlit b starved out, thiuklng th lox wou'd com down n time to come. Ever since ( 'bave been writing to the Gouaiaa, the Observer man has been taking excep tions to my work. Heretofore there bas been but little attention paid to what h said, but since be bas jumped at an innocent one as be bas, we believe it onr duty to give him a shot. There is such a thing as the enlirgement of tbe brain and tbe swelling ol the head, and li e swelling of tbe bead without, the en largement of tbe brain and we fear poor El is affected with tbe latter disease nc be bas been getting 60cts. per week for sending news a month and a half o'd to the Observer. Well, as we believe we bave ssid all that is eoeisiry on this subject, we will again reeuine cur regular work. We sincerely hope Mr. Observer man will mak no more such breaks as the last one and ill know wbat he is say ing before be speaks so loudly auj watch some other boy go to Selma to mail letters on Sun- day. Th name we now take is that of John Gees. He cam to oar vallev among he first and took a donation claim in the center of tbe valley, tbe fsrra which it now owned by J. W. Harmon. Mr. and Mrs. Uess bsd lived here seversl years when ths Indiana became trouble some and Mr., Gess was appointed leader to guard sgainat the cunning tribe. At one time the whites nurrbered but 15 to guard against the treacherous fellows. For two years the people had been guarded so close that provisions were getting low and for a while the people tel to live as tbe Indians. Under the direction of Mr. (jess the Indians were driven back and the people resumed the work in their fields once more, but the trescberous trite took advantage of tbe opportunity and watched the men who did not know of the danger which was near them and the second day Mr. Gees had been plow ing the Indians succeeded in finding his gun, aud killed him witb it. Now the Indins had killed tbe leader, they thought they would hsve things their own way, but another came to tbe front as leader for the whites by the name of Mr. Potter, wbo proved a suitable leader and under his command ths people so greatly defeated the Indians that there was no more trouble at this time and later Mr. Potter married the widow of the one whom the Indians bsd killed.

If be would locate many ledges in this vicinity, we think he would bave little trouble In finding bnyera. We have big, heavy cbaDnela that are run ning through the mountain in this locality.

Ov IT HAD fairly poured for two days, and I had waded through all the newspaper and other reading mat ter to be had at the little Adirondack hotel at which I was staying. The. landlord, Mr. Carpenter, was a jolly old fellow who waa noted for hi sprightly stories, and he did his best to entertain his guest and keep up their spirit aa they sat on the broad piazza of the Wayside house and watched the steady downpour. I did not join the group on the veranda. If there ia anything I par ticularly dislike It is to listen to the chatter of a lot of people who are trying to delude themselves into the belief that they are enjoying life when the face of Nature is ankle deep with mud and water, and it ia still raining as If it never intended to stop. So I stuck to my room and burrowed my way through books, week-old newspnHfrs, patent medi cine alinanuc anything that would help me In a measure to forgot the aboihinable weather. Hut on the evening of the second day, when It grew suddenly colder and a roaring wood fire had beien k'indled in the open fireplace in the big sitting-room, I was one of the first to gather around its cheerful blaze. Now, if ever, was the time for story-telling, but the landlord's reper tory seemed to be about exhausted. "No use asking for any more funny itoriea," he drawled out with a depre catory shake, of the head. "These two wet days have pumped me dry, so to speak. I con only think of one more story, but as there Isn't any thing comical about that one, I don't suppose you'll care to hear it." "tiive us a story, by ull means," urged one of the ladies. "I can 0,1 wnys sleep better if I have a ghoat story or aome exciting adventure to go to bed on." "Well," began the landlord, re flectively, "1 don't think this comes Jnder the head of a ghost atory nor sven a atory of adventure. I'll hnve to tell it, ami let you classify it for yourselves. The climax of my story Mine ten years ago when I was keep ng a hotel in my native village, which I will call Eden Center; hut the beginning dated buck ninny years be fore that, to the tiuie when the Peeks were the iihIkiIh of the place. "Squire Peek, with his wife and only daughter, lived in a big white house on a hill In the outskirts of the village, 11 nil u haughty, high-stepping old chop he was when I first knew him. He always seemed to consider himself and his family a little above the rest of the folks in Eden Center, end when Lucinila Peek grew up, al though she was by long odds the best looking young lady in the place, and while the young fellow were all half daft over her, none of them real ly had the courage to make love to her for fear of arousing the wrath of the stiff-necked old squire. "The first one who tried It was an outsider, and the ruthlees way in which his aspiration were nipped in the bud by I.ucinda's fnther held forth very little encouragement to the others. He was a young college student, named Henry 'Uandcll, who lad come to Eden Center to spend his lurnuier vacation In erning some needed money. Though dependent wholly on hia own earnings, he was bravely working hit way through college, it seems, and he got a job keeping the books and milking up ac counts at the village store daytimes, and at night he gave lesson ou the violin and other musical instrument.. He was a first-class singer, too, and soon after coming to the place he started a singing school, hiring the schoolhouse and churglng a regular fee for the lessona, which he gave every Thursday evening. "It was at the singing school that he made the acquaintance of I.ucindn Peek, and it was a clear case of love t first eight. He waa a manly young fellow, and when the rest of the hoys aw how matters were shaping, there wasn't 011c of them but wished him well. "Hut the course of true love runs uncommonly rough sometimes as the povt tells uliont, snd when young Uandcll walk.d boldly up to the big house ou the hill with l.ucinda jone rvening, aud asked her father for her hand In marriage, it no s,,i,i that the haughty old squire drove him from the house with the direst threats and curses that eur man sver poured uon the h.-id ,.f i noth er. It was then near the close of hi vacation, and Kandell was com- Rcmembcr a fifty cent bottle of Scott's Emulsion given in proper quantities will last a baby fifty days; a child six or seven, thirty days ; and a child of ten or twelve, twenty days.

For delicate children withou any real disease, it can be used with splendid results. VH tmi vaa s aula la , II foa Us. tOJTT BOWSE, r-,,,1 em.
