A BOLD KJRHKItT.
A IlarrlHburtf Man Fuse a Itsvolvcr.
This mcinlng about 3 o'clock two men
called nt the house of Mr Damon Smith, In
HarrUhurg, and requested him to go to
his drug store and put up a prescription
for them.as l was needed at once. Mr
Smith went, accompanied by the men
When Inside of the store and a lamp was
lighted one of them presented a revolver
and ordered him to open the safe or he
would fire. Mr Smith did as dlrertcd.and
the mei helped themselves to the contents,
which proven to iw $100 in monev and a
valuable yold watch. After lyir g and
gngilng him so he could not give an
alarm, they left. They were both com
plete sr range rs.and no clue was secured as
to their identitv, or where thev went. It
was a very hold affair and caused a great
sensation In IinrrUburg, Mr Smith for
awhi'e a resident of Alhany, being one of
the leading citiens there.
Holds The Kf.c. "It U interesting to
o over the Northwest and see the towns
at arc to become the great cities of th)
ctton of country," said a big man at the
pot. "There's Port Townsend.it knows
holds the key ; and then there's Belling'
am Bay, It will be on top, and over on
lays Harbor thev have just discovered
, Astoiia Is quite sure to jump to the
ront ; Yaqulna City over here has no
oubt about the result.and the city of Al
bany has some big hopes too." and the big
eliow chuckled and his friend remarked
hat some of them will get left. And sure
nough,and even men traveling over the
ountrv with their wise winks.don't know
which it will be. Many of them, though,
kill undoubtedly grow together. ,
Too Mfcit For Them. Two rural
guests who occupied a room at the Golden
llule the other night, says the Pendleton
E. O., were much puzzled over that "gol-
darned, new-fangled thing," the electric
light. Their conversation, overheard bv
parties in the next room, was as fo lows :
"Can't you blow it out, Jack ?'
'Maw. blank the blanked concern, anv.
how.1'
"Wait, let me try,'' and a sound was
heard like the laborious puflingof a steam
boat as it rounds a point In the distance.
Finally it appeared as though both were
engaged in the "blowing-out" process.and
were straining lungs and muscles to see
which could blow the hardest ; all to no
purpose.
At last a mu filed curse was heard, fol
lowed by the consoling remark : "Wall,
we might Rinother to death if we blowed
out the conearncd thing , let's let er
burn."
And so thev did, (or the clerk turned It
out in the morning.

Tkkriblb SupPiaiNO. One of the most
Jicrrible cases of suffering reported siuoa tks
tiigh water comes to light on Wild Ca
jcreek, Mr George Soven ana his lamiiy
who reside on that stream, were driven
from their home by the rapidly rising
water, and fled to a mountain near by for
afety. They took with them ouly a part of
their olothingand some bedding. Ihey re-
, out food or shelter. At last the children's
stomachs becan to swell, and the father
thought they would die. He killed the dog
I which they ate. Thev started to cross the
mountain to another house, but being thinly
clad and withcut shoos, they were ccin
veiled to retreat on account of the snow.
The water tinallv subsided until they were
able to get to the house and get a sack of
flour, which knt them from atarving until
relief eama. Nearly all the property was
destroyed. Eugone Register.
An Novel Effect. A bad res nit emana
ting from the flood is the iocreved number
of prevaricators in the country, resulting in
numerous marvellous iaeidents. The follow
ing is one from the Oregon City Courier:
One of tbe queerest incidents that ever

think the Chinese have no appreciation o1
the funny side of life; but the following
translated from the Chinese shows that
they are a little cute once in a while:
