"Blinking tells ute has a leading part in the company lie is with." llow! that? "lie's with the Uncle Tom's .Cabin Troupe and he leads the bloodhound to 1 rm and from the theater." ' Tiie "bBng" must not go. It become every forehead on which it apjieara, and many a pretty woman without a bang would be so plain that she would never, go off without one. Judge. Chas. Dahlke, who had been stopping in town several weeks having bis broken arm treated, concluded to go to 1'o.i tland and remain intlie hospital until he ful ly recovers. Mont Downing took him to Arlington Tuesday. Our jovial assessor Val Wheeler was in town severe! days this week on busi ness connected with hi oillee.

The court held that while it may have been an er ror in printing the name on the ballot twice, the vote should not be lost. This will leave Oregon standing, one peoples and three republican Pres. electors. A Kentucky man recently got a prUe for the following definition of a gentle man: "A uinn of refinement and cult ure whoNe aims are noble, whose truth is constant, and not only constant in itn kind, but elevated in its degree ; whose want of meanness makes him simple, and who can look the whole world in the face witli a true manly sympathy for the grcitv Hliu oumn. a Jt Chicago Trib f ''paper; it gives ; great and small." Tribune". Take your homo you more news of imme diate interest than the big city papers ; it talk for you when others belie you ; It stands up for your rights; you always Lave a champion in your home paper, And those who stand up for yon should be well sustained. Your interests are kindred find euqnl, and you must rise or t fall together, Therefore it ia to your in terest to .support your home paper; not grudgingly, but in a liberal spirit, us a pleasure, not as ft disagreeable duty, but as an Investment that, will amply repay all expenditure. - " .'; Col. Bob Ingersol, one of trie world's most eminent lawyers, says: "No law yer has any rivrtit to nay anything against the opposite party or against, any wit ness that be does not firmly la-lieve to be true; and a lawyer that will attack a witness or attack a purty simply for suc cors nnd guin a victory ii simply g dog that men hire to set upon other men. I am not that kind of a dog." Our citizens have re-considered the matter ami have decided to incorporate nnder the name of "City of Condon," in stead of town, as was at first intended. We will wake up one of these fine morn ings ami realize that we are actually liv ing in a city which, according to our friend Webster, means an incorporated town. Thu petition for incorporation is signed by all of our citizens. J no. A. Brown announces in last week's Arlington Hecord that ho has sold out and turned the paper over to Mr, J. M. Johns. The only surprising thing about it is tliHt the. paper ran as long att it did under the old management. It is the inevitable result when a ja-rsou attempts to make a success at anything without lirst learning the business and eapecial ly the newspaper business. With a fa therly feeling the j,ohk pointed out to Mr. Brow n when he first launched the paper that it was a dangerous undertak ing, but he would not heed our warning, Mr. Johns is a gentleman and a scholar, and we wish the pajicr success under his management. It seems that the useless beast called the gossip, infests all sections of the country, A queer story is told by the Cincinnati Times as the failure of a Cler mont county merchant recently. While in that city lie was attracted by the watches displayed in a pawn shop win dow, and stepped inside to examine them. Two or three persons from his village happened to pass and saw him. They went home and gossiped about the matter. A report w bs spread that lie was hard up, and had been puwuitig his watch in Cincinnati. The report injured his business, and his creditors also be gan to press him. In a short time be was com alled to make an assignment. New counties up here hi the Inland Empire are getting as thick as "dotr on a Men's back." It is said a bill is already drawn for Hood county, with Hood Riv er as county seat; the new territory to include Cascade Locks. The Mitchell people want a slicing of counties to be done by the legislature. They, want a slice cut off from the west part of (irant and some ofr the northern part of Crook to form Mitchell county, with Mitchell as county seat. Antelope has also put a ball in motion slid baa a jaititiou signed by about 2o0 names, asking the legisla ture to cut a strip off from the northern part of Crook and all of that iortion of Wasco lying past of Deshutes, and create the county of Antelope, with Antelope as county seat. Of the three proposed changes, the Mitchell people need it the worst, as at present they are obliged to travel about J00 miles over the roughest country in Oregon, in going to their pres ent county seat, Canyon City. The Escaped Prisoners Capt- ' ured. Murray and liein, who escaped from the Condon jail last week, are again locked upthis time in the steel cell. After escaping from jail they traveled in tiie direction of the railroad at Blalock, and it appears they stole something in the way of clothing, provisions, gins, etc., from nenrly every house they passed during night time. .Sunday night they stole a Win. rifle, a raxor, some rope and a number of other articles from the house of II. L. Wise man on lower Kuek creek. Next day Mr. Wiseman finding them near there with the stolen property, arrested them both and took them to Blalock, where they bail their preliminary examination Tues day More Justice O. Parrish. They were bound over to tiie grand jury in the sum of $:)00 each, and the constable, J. E. Sindel, brought them to Condon. arriving here Wednesday night. ; At their examination, liein . told that he had never seen Mnrry until two or three daya lx-fore, and it was not known to the Blalock people that these were the escaped prisoners until they reached Clem on their way back. When Squire Parrish placed their bonds at iSOO, they seemed greatly astonished, and made souiH lengthy arguments to have the lunula reduced, and spoke of a great many places in different portions of the country w here they had been, where bonds were not placed so high for steal ing similar articles. It is very easy to predict how they learned all this Infor mation, It is presumed they stole the rope with the intention of catching horses with which to make their escape out of the country. They evidently aro a hard set, and their chances for going over the road are extremely good. It is not probable that they will receive much mercy or accom modation at the hands of tiie sheriff hereafter. ! ' List of Letters ' .

Hut likely that is a very natural feeling with them I know it is w ith me. We heartily congratulate Condon on her conclusion to incorporate, fcinee we incorporated two years ago there has been a grand change and improvement in our town, and we do not believe there ts a law-abiding citizen in Fossil who regrets the change.

It is en couraging to we such citizens as there buying property and locating in our town. The United States contains 70,000 law yers, 11,000 of whom are in .New York City, making the proportion there about one to every 150 of the population. France, with a tabulation of 40,000,000, has but 6,000 lawyers, and Germany has only 7,000 ont of a population of 50,000, 000. Lost Monday Joe- Combs, sheriff of Grant county,' paid our town a visit and arrested Geo, Madden, who has been acting in a manner as to create suspi cion since his chum, Albert Smith, went to the lock-up and made a confession of larceny. We hope the yoong man will le able to clear himself of the serious charge The hills and valleys have exchanged their mantle of white for that of a beau tiful green. The roads are dry and get ting dusty already ; and the weather is so delightful that only for an occasional peep in the almanac, one might think it was time to round up the "old-fashioned incubator" or make garden. Most of our people do not seem vey much pleased to learn of the re-captnre of Murray and Rein, a they would pre fer seeing their tax money applied to! a more worthy , cause than to help feed such worthless vagabonds. It is proba- M. however, that after the next term of eircuu court w.ey win uuuru ai u.c c peuse of the state awhile. Cowboy. The Revival. Condon, Jan. 3, 1803. Et.
