The following strange story comes from Savannah, Ua, V. VV, Brannen iB a prosperous larni uior of the Laeton district. He recently lived in Savannah. For some time he baB felt it In his bones that be would one day be a rich man. He chanced to drop into a fortune tellor's place In Savannah, and this sago of the occult told liiiu that on hia place in BuIdcIi county, at one eud of a certaiu old mill dam, vtaa buried n large amount of monoy. Brannen did not give the matter much. thought at first, but could not helpdreauiing abcut it now and then, be Bays. So he moved baca to b old home. Soon af'.er doing s) he wout to digging aroumljhis olil J 111 i 1 1 site Boek ing tli 0 hidden treasure. Iu tholmoaiitline a young woman liv ing near Brannen found that she pos sessed the power of mesuierian.. She happened oneday to gut one ol Bran son's little girls under her iufluence. While In that state of mind il le girl said that therojwas ou her fathei's place, at a cortiiin spot, a large amount of gold buried. Brannen eava line caused huu tojrenow IiIb efforts, and he made an exoavation large enough to re ceive the foundation ol a great building; Howas laughed at by hia neighbors. Then two other littlo girla told the gold story. Brannen contlnuod his digging, and finally he struck a pot of aute-bellum mould that contained $30,000 in gold coin. When or by whom tins treasure was laid away nobody knows nor does Mr. Brannen care, now that he has the laugh on hie neighbors. The commun ity ib wild ovor the Hud and now that the proBpscts for crops are bo poor, the people will spead the rainy days while they can't plough, iu digging for valua . bleu, hidden, probably in the early six ties, to keep the Union soldiers from get ting them. Again there are indications of eome gold In ihe Santjam mines. It ia to be hoped that some day this prospect strikes wiUi the gold hick of it into a great re ality! With prospects ot a big crop of every thing in this part ol tho world Albany should wake up and get a livo move on, Let na have the reputation of being the fastest business town in the valley . The democrats of Oregon Lave forced R H Sheridan out of tbe position of chair man of the democratic state central com mittee during the last Bryan campaign, Albany Herald. The Herald it one of the most rabid and blindly par isan republican organs in the state, but un.eus i. wants to obisdiibu e reputation lor being the biggest nar also, It will retractthe above. Tliedem ocrata of Oregon wo;ild gladly have re' 'aii.ed Mr Sheridan at the head ol tbeir state organisation, but as be iB now en ga;ed in business in Boise, Idaho, 'he voluntarily called tbe stale committee together and resigned, juBt as any hon orable gentleman like he is, would do. The talk about bia being forced out ib maliciously false, Ronehurg Review If all men were honest and honorable in their dealings with tbeir fellow men there wouldn't be much trouble in run ningtbia government in an equitable manuer bo Ibet all men would have tbeir rights, but the trouble is tbat men are not, and whenever a party gets into power it seems as if the rascals shake on top hold of the offices. JuBt now the republicans bave charge and they are a little the deepest in the hands of corrup tion nf any party tbat baa ever been in power. It looks very much as if the party bad gone over body and soul to the money power, tbat ia to the trustB. All legislation in recent years has beoa in the interest of tbe few, whereas, the policy of government should be to help tbe most poeBible Nothing could be done at the preaent time that would bave a more important effect this way than some good wholesome laws prevent ing large monopolies, and their enforce ment. Educational Qualification. Washington, July 9 Tbe Census of See ia soon expected to romplete ita work of ascertaining the number of ne gro illiterates in the south who are over twenty-one, this being taken to repre sent with tolerable accuracy tbe number ol negro voters who have been disfran chised by recent constitutional amend ments adopted in t e Southern States. When tbie is known, there may be an attempt to cut down tbe representation of tbeae States will certainly be, if cer tain Rupublicans bave their way. There is eome doubt, however, sb to tbeir buo case, aa the language of tbe fourteenth Amendment applies to all male inhabi tants. Ic would affect Illinois, for in stance, for tbat stale has a law requiring residence for a certain period before one can vote. Probably there are 30,000 males over twenty-one years of age in Chicago who are unable to vote (because of this law. Massachusetts baa an edu cational qualification and Rhode Island has a poll tax. Other etateB of the North also have suffrage qualifications which would bring them within tbe scope of the constitutional amendment. Even the Inmates of the Insane nsyluuiB and similar Institutions would bave to be counted in reckoning the restriction ol suffrage. So there is likely to be strong opposition to anything definite being accomplished. By the time the next Oongross meets Alabama and Virginia will have amend ed their state constitutions to disfran chise a portion el tbe negro vote. The attention of the publio will undoubtedly be directed in an increasing measure to this subject, ospscially as thoro is proa Decl that Georgia will Boon follow the example set by other ol her sister states of the South. A review of the eubject eliowa that Mississippi led the way in the southern disfranchisement movement, adopting in 1S02 a constitution containing the quali fication that every elector, in addition to other requirements, should be "able to read aav reclon ot the constitution of this Btate or lo understand the aamo when read to him or give a rea sonable interpretation thereof.'' This provision was cariied to the State '.courts and ultimately to the Supreme Court ol the United States. In the latter it was npheld and this language was need : "The provisions in section 244 ot the constitution of Mississippi making the ability to rsad any Beotion of the consti tution or to understand It when read as a nece sary qualification to a legal voter do not amount to a denial of the equal protection of the law secured by the foui teonth amendment to the Constitu tion, and it baa not besn ehown that their admlniatratlpn was evil, but only that evil was possible under them," South Carolina next came into line, providing that each voter must be able to read and write any section of the con atltutlon or show that he owna and hse paid titxea on (300 worth of property. Louisiana In 1598 adopted an educe tional teat involving tho writing out an application for regletration and a proi erty option similar to South Carolina'?, It also added the "grandfather" clause, permitting thore to vote who were dee cendanta of voters before the civil ft at J North Carolina then followed with a similar law. In Maryland the white and colored I! literates were put practically upon tie same basis, but as it worked out in the last electtos, the negroes really had the advantage, because, acknowledging thtir ignorance, they were willing to be taught and learned the simole formulas users- sry to mark their ballots, while the white men, scornlnc to admit their jillil eracy, resented ufforis to prepare them to exercise the franchise. C. M, The Coming Battle. Washington, July 12. Even thongh Congress will not be in tettion for months to come the minority ia already making ready for tbe coming battle roya tbat will take place next wintsr in re gard to tbe status ol our island possess ions. Aa Representative Richardson said the other day, the Supreme Court decisiou was not an ending but a begin ning ; it decided what we could do, bu not what we ought to do; and over this question the battle will be desperate How desperate, is shown by two recent conferences. In tbe Senate, ten or a dnz n demo' oratic Senators bave entered into a com pact not to ask favors in the way of ap pointments, etc., of the present Admin- istration and to discourage tbe practice among the minority ujembers of the Senate. It is probable t ti at there will be a caucus declaration by the minority 0 each house that the asking of favors from tbe administration iB looked upon with disfavor and is hurtful to tbe party, There ib said to be no doubt tbat Presi dent AlcKinley has practically bought one or two so-called democratic Senators by way of conceding to tbemal! they ask In way of patronage, and is quite certain tbat others haye been embarrassed in tbeir opposition to Administration poli cies hy the obligations they were nnder to the President. iu tne;tiouBe mere is a movement on foot to supersede Representative Rich ardson aa leader of tbe democratic party not for any personal ambition nor from any question as to biB great ability, but simply because be is not enough of fighter. By temperment Mr, Richard son is disinclined to enter upon a harass ing fight, and more energetic men were Impatient of his quiet and tactful, rather than vigoroue, course during tbe last Congress. The opinion was ex pressed by those who do uot approve of hia methods that be lost ground, eBpeci ally during tbe dosing session, by reason ol lack of epint In opposition to republi canmeasureB. It la with the idea of giving more vitality to tho minority and making the opposition more emphatic and more constantly In evidence that the effort to bring about a change of leader ship is proposed. ihoee who are dissatisfied with his course are urging Representative De Armond of idiasouri, to take the field against him for the minority nomination for speaker, which carriea with It recog nition of leadership of the party on tbe floor, on Mr. De Armond'a return trom the Philippines he will confer with some of hie mends, and if it is still deemed advisable from a party point of view for him to mane the contest he will declare himself a candidate for the honor . I'he task before the democrats may be rendered somewhat easierthao is now expected if the prevailing report that a ring ib seeking to syndicate the govern ment patronage shall prove to be true. ThiB ring, it is eaid, consists of Mr. Hen na aa ohief, with Elkine, Manley, Ker ens, and two or three other members 0 tbe old guard as Lieutenants. . Recog nizing the futility of the talk of McKin ley and a third term, these men wish to compel the selection as candidate of a man whom they can control . CM. Salem Independent: Governor Geer delivered the 4th of July oration at Bak er City. It is not reported that he talked politics in hia addreas. He is sure ol one thing : He ie opposed to a third term In the Presidency. But if his party should declare for McKinley for a third term, where would Mr. Geer be then?

Sometimes it looks as If nearly everybody bad gone away, but sit do itn and figure it up and you will find that it ie only a small part of the whole population ot the city.

But it ia time the poor ones were burried. Dr. John Mitchell in Harpers Bazar, Learn to (keep still when jou rest: when you move, move with the part of tbe body needed; do not waste your force by walking with your arms and face aB well aBwilh your legs." If circum stances force an unuBual and fatiguing amount of exertion upon you. breas it now and then by periods of absolute rest. No matter mowibiief tbey are, they will be useful if you make them complete and perfect in tbe way described. Thia is true of mental aa well as bodily exer tion. A minute or two minutefl of quiet with closed eyea if; possible, with your tension relaxed and the gearing of the machinery thrown off for the moment, will help and relresh you greatly. Here, again, more may be gained If the ability to relax mentally can be secured, in a fashion singular to the withdrawing of muscular tension. Learn to empty your mind when not u . i The Eastern Oregon; papers, particu larly republican papers, are endeavoring to make capital against Governor Geer on account of tbe $1000 paid to him be fore election by a man named Flnramor. It ia claimed thia was in payment of an office Plummer wes to bave, and tbie ie Plummer'a version of the matter. A Salem man who profeBsea to know aaya that while it is true tbat Governor Geer received $1000 from Mr, Plummer it was only as a loan, when running for office he being in close circumstances and need'ng the money, that there waa no promiee connected wiih it at all, and that the facts will come out at the proper time. What the publh will wiBh to koow ia tbe truth and not atatementa for political effect, which if not true are back-acting. There are enough other things against Governor Geer without bringing injanything that cannot be sub stantiated. If tbe charges are true tbe public should know them, if untrue aa a great many believe, it ia as much the business of a democratic paper aa a re publican paper to assist in making the facta known and if they ever come out the Democrat will endeavor to give ita opin ion faiily in reference to the matter Those people where the drought has been worse will be looking lo: a new place ol abode.
