There Is always news of a sensational charac ter which would furnish interesting reading, but of course not complimen tary to reputation or the community, and it is such news that we decline to pnblish. A fine little son was born on Thursday of last week, 11th Inst., to Mr. and Mrs. 8. B. Barker of Condon.

Frank Byrne went to The Dalles last week to meet his 14-year-old son, who Just came up from San Francisco, and will remain here with his father.

Sayre estate, by B. F. Tennis, administrator. The sale will take place at John Phillips' ranch, near Mobley, on the Arlington and Hardman road. The merchants whose ads appear in the Gubk are never troubled with old, shoddy, shelf-worn goods, wbicb are dear at any price. Goods that are not worth advertising are not worth having, and our readers will find that they can always get the best bargains by dealing with tbe merchants and business men who advertise in the Giobb. Previous to his departure to St. Louis Hon. Chas. Hilton gave it as bis belief that tbe National Republican conven tion would declare for the gold standard. "While the republican party is in fa vor of the largest possible use of silver," said Mr. Hilton, "there can be no such thing as a double standard. One metal or the other must be the standard of value. The heroic act of a Kansas City wom an who Jumped into a cistern and saved her baby from drowning illustrates the promptness with which women act un der pressing emergencies, as welt as the devotion of mother love and the unsel fishness of her sex.

A Portland drummer who was in town last week says that Ed Copner is now traveling salesman for Wadham A Co. of Portland and that Ed and his wife have separated. Mrs. Copner and lit tle daughter Dot have been making their home with relatives at Berkeley, Cal., since last spring. Their many friends in this county will regret to learn of their unhappy married life. Sylvester Pennoyer says: "If tbe pol icy I advocated had been adopted, and Vanderburg bad withdrawn from the field when the democrats agreed to pull off Myers, and Judge Waldo made tbe congressional nominee, he would have had such a majority over Tongue that he could not have been counted out. No other is to he blamed for the election of Tongue than tbe populists themselves We stop the press long enough to won' der what in thunder has become of that Venexuelan commission that was sent down there last winter to see what "ails' the people of that country. Their prom ised monthly letters to this paper, ex plaining their investigations, have failed to show np and we are considerably an noyed thereat. If they get off without a heavy damage suit tbey will be very lucky. A prixe consisting of Tennyson's poems has been presented to Mr. Frank Ed' wards for winning a contest held April 25th, in the Agricultural College at Cor vallis.

Where they lit, great furrows were plowed into the road by their heads for a considerable distance.
