Children Kindly Treated. Ladies Hair Dressing a Specialty, Cal on Proselyting. "Good morning, Cindy," said Mr, Tulip, as he entered my house last Sunday morning. "Where lit Cal?" " 'Tubs,' " said Cindy, "has arranged for a prize-fight between tbo dog and his pet coon. He calls the dog Corbett and the coon Jackson; and Cal has gone out to stop the light, altlio' 'Tubs' says they are to spar for points only." "Well, Cal, did you stop the tight?" asked Mr. Tulip afer we had exchanged greetings. " Yes," wild I, "after some persua sion. 'Tubs' contended that I had no right to Interfere us it was to be a glove contest, but I over-ruled tho motion. Then he sot up the plea of non-jurla-dictlon, but I soon convinced him without having to refer to Blaekstone. Then he threatened to go to Waterloo, where,1 said he, 'the spelling club would even offer a purse for a little good, solid fun.' Tho boy has been running with tliem Waterloo boys and I fear he Is to give us trouble." "Boys will ne boys," suid Mr. Tulip. "But," he continued, "Cal, what do you think of that article In the Ex I'ltWR under the caption of 'The Rev. Gives Some Free Advioe'?" "Well, snld I, "I first thought that it whs a kind nf n broadcast insinua tion meant to apply to any Individual wlio bad been guilty of the charge, but really I didn't understand the mean ing of the word 'proselyte.' " "I will tell you what I think of It," said Cindy. "He is hitting at the Baptists, and I think It a shame to offer such insults to as good a mau as the pastor. He is a iove reproach and I venture to suy that Ills new converts are us sincere as any who crosB the Methodist threshold." "What Is the full meaning of the word proselyte?" asked Mr. Tulip. "Its significance btiB no boutida," said I, "as 1 hnve just learned. I was I'd united lu Just a tolerable good-sized sehooi house, on a farm, and the books we used were the bent known ill the world. We bud Welister's elementary spelling book, MeGufly's rendera, Key's arithmetics and I have forgotten wlinKf grammar it was but I know it whs an awful good otie because I learned to purse in It no quick, and I c.mld purse faster than an ordluary democrat eould change the significance of a ballot. I remember one Frlduy evening when I returned home the pniud possessor of nine head marks, my mother asked me to purse some for M rs. Liingtleeker. I net di d no per suasion, so I 'lit out.' 'First person, I urn; second person, you aro; third per son, lb' I could go no further, us my mother bad me smothered up on her bosmu, and when I was freed so I could beur she was telling Mrs. Long decker that 'Cal Is bound for Washing ton. But,' snld Mu, 'I don't kuow bow In the natiie of God lie is to get there. I wouldn't have him to go out on the ocean for anything.' My teach er was of Scotch descent, and a more thorough scholar never licked a nigger or made a wooden nutmeg. But some bow we got Bouie things kinder mixed and I believe now that a great many grammatical errors mutt huve existed In our old grammars. The article you refer to bus led me to this conclusion. The author of the article is an educated gentleman and holds, perhaps, dozens and dozens of diplomas, i ou know, Mr. Tulip, that we were taught that a noun could not be used as a verb, or a verb transitive or a verb intransitive, mid we were taught that the word 'proselyte' was u uotiu and could not be used otherwise; but in this, you see, we ure away off, as 'proselyte' oiui be used as a noun, a common noun, a verb, a verb transitive, a verb intransi tive, adjeotives, and and I started to suy, all the genders, but I guess not. How glud 'Prince Duke' (Uucle Ba laam) would huve been if he could have 'caught on' to the word 'prose lyte.' Wouldn't ho have 'whooped her up' though? My! you oould have heurd hint to Long Branch. It Is so easy to suy, too. I am sorry I did not know tills before. I oould have used it to such good advantage last fall wbeu them prosclyturs was lu Leba non, proselytizing. Every night they . would proselyte some new proselyte, Awarded Highest feaEBaking Tueonl Purv. Cream of Tartar Powder. No Ammonia; No Alum. Used in Millions of Homes 40 Years tie Standard two ut a time. Their proselytes num bered many but It did not stick well, as the proselytes de-proselyted as soon as the prosclylers had proselyted to fields anew where they are proselytiz ing proselytes." Thank you, Mr. C. Bank; I will take the Job and I assure you I well do it up brown. I have been stuffing skins of dead animals and the like for twenty-one years. Several of us boyB com menced learning the trade together in 8. C. In the year of our Lord 1872. Our first lesson was In stuffingballot boxes. Butwoaic scattered now. Some of tbo boys went to the Okefinoke swamps In Florida; some went to Sing Sing; and I, your humble servant, im migrated to the Pacific slopes. If the proselyters keep on proselyting T think I will have a good job stuffing the skins of the two old political parties.' Well, as to the "Elder," I want him to have a rest. I was always of a forgiv ing nature. You may be close on to right as to the author of "A Startling Sensation," but from the way the story wound around I think the author must have been a snake instead of a human. Again, you remember it went into a torpid state all of asudden. Cal Jewpefper, P. S. "Tubs" has a bound volume of "A Startling Sensation," which he wants to trade for a treatise on evolu tion and proselyting. Cal J., Per "Tubs." The Lord Vii Vtisnllant. "I will get oft here," said a dignified, prepossessing lady to a conductor on the Washington street line as it ar rived at a certain corner, a few eve nings ago. "Oh no, don't stop the car," she remarked, as the conductor reached for the bell coid. "The Lord will take cure of mo." The conductor paid no further ntteutiou to the lady inn she went out on the rear platform, attempted to step off on the crossing and went sprawling upon the street Home persons who witnessed the affair rushed to her assUtnnce and picked her up, muddy and badly shocked. She wus recognized as one of the most prominent faith curisls ill the city, whose name has beeu sensationally mentioned in the newspapers during the past few months. The Lord, how ever, did not make a very graceful job of assisting her oil the cur. Sutiduy Yv elcouue. Kttnutilifiniia, Attention. There will be a meeting of the Re publican Club of Lebanon, Ore., at Millers Hall (over postofilce) Friday, February lb, 1884, at seven o'clock p. ni. The object of the meeting is to elect officers for (lie ensuing year, aud to transact busiuess of importance that will come before the club. At a meeting which was held last Friday night much enthusiasm was manifested. Ruff Hiutt, J. G. Reed aud Frank Hardmun were selected as delegates to thestate convention of Re publican clubs, which convened in Portland Tuesday of this week. Let every Republican come out to next Friday night's meeting, whether he be a member of the club or not. In unity there is strength. Let us or ganize; and when the Ides of June roil round, victory will perch upon our banners. A. A. Kees, Pres. 1 Albert Ckandall, Sec A. F. Stowe, Chairman of Chair man's Committee of Seven.

Russell, No man believed that any one of our court bouse officials would take a dishonest dollar. In none was their trust more freely giyen, and by none could it be more basely be trayed. Human nature is weak and may err, and can often be forgiven; hut no man can palliate the crime of robbing school children of the money that tax-payers have paid for their ed ucationespecially when the robber was at the head of the schools of the county. . Foverty could not have been Russell's excuse, for his salary was an ample one and his legitimate expenses were not great. Circumstances would Indi cate that a recently acquired fondness for fast company has been his down fall. Russell wus under no bonds, as the law does not suppose a superintendent to handle county funds. Hence there are no bondsmen to make good the losses, and these losses will have to be met by parses who have been duped. A rigid search should be made for the defaulter, and speedy justice meted out to him. His whereabouts are now unknown, but he cannot escape. It is possible that ho has gone to Hawaii. LHe visited those islands 'list spring- probably at the cost of his dupes. His system of robbery was well planned. In some cases he obtained the money from the county treasurer by forging the names of the clerks in out-lying districts. Ho also drew money for districts not in existence, by using fictitious names. He also in creased the number of school children in the county by several hundred and thus made another haul. He pocketed the fees received from applicants for certificates. The amount thus obtained will reach several thousand dollars. He has also run his credit in Albany to a large amount. Attachments have been issued and his goods have been taken. His wife lias returned to her father's house, and is said to have refused to join hk' liusl.siid. Much sympathy is given the unfortunate wife and little ones. Kvmia 4nlD. Fkf.s.no, Cal., Feb. 4. -A fight be tween the bandits, Evaus and Morel, and Deputy Sheriffs Timuiins and Boyd, occurred in the Slippery Rock country about 20 miles east of Dinubia this nfteruoon. The officers were looking for the bandits in that neigh borhood, and were riding in a cart. When they got near the place of a rancher named Robinson, Thiamins alighted and started iu the direction of the house. He had only gone a short distance wheu Evans and Morel came outcfSt. Clair's house near by and immediately opened fire ou the officers. The latter had the advantage of being separated, and oould have raked the bandits from both sides, as Evai.s aud Morel were in a line between them. Instead, it is reported, the officers took to flight, the bandits diligently firing upon them. HAITI HOME. Mr. French is quite sick. W. W. Bishop is planting several acres to prunes. Ho has sold eighty acres of his land to a man by the name of James, consideration ten dollars per acre. Mr. James has built a house and stable and is knocking the rails out at a lively rate. We wish him success iu his new home. There was a populist meeting at the Burrelischoolhouee last Saturday. The people were addressed by Mr. Parker, of Waterloo, and C. D. Steen, of near Lebanon. W. G. Brown is very busy looking after his sheep. There are over one hundred lambs, and tit this time of year it requires much time and atten tion looking ufter them. The past week bus bec.i very foggy and chilly. Still there is considerable less sickness than heretofore in this part ol Canada. Jacob Newman is still very feeble, although able to walk. Grandma Cummiugs is carding and spinning wool, knitting socks and stockings. Says, "Economize these bard times." Beubock. A Man Lost. One day last week a man was pass ing dowu Main street, and all at once disappeared iuto Baker's Dry Goods, Boot and Shoe store, where he fell into Baker's low prices and was lost to all. M. A.

Kirkpatrick some time since thought he would be hospitable so he wrote a letter to the Cumberland Presbyterian, a ohurch paper published at Nashville, Tenn., Inviting all Cum berland Presbyterians who visit the Midwinter exposition to stop at Seltna and take a look at Fresno county. He is now receiving letters from people all over the east asking for information about the country. A man named J. B. Thompson wants to looate a factory for revolving harrows la this valley In some town where they will give him a building site. The factory will cost $20,000 and will furnish employment for twenty skilled workmen. If this mau means busiuess It will pay him to come to Seima to investigate the situ ation for himself. Selma, (Cal.) Irri gator. The same paper in a later issue says: J. B. Thompson, of whom mention was made in Tuesday's Irrigator, is here from Lebanon, Oregon, investi gating the opportunities offered by this place as a manufacturing point for his newly patented rotary harrow. Mr. Thompson's home is in Oregon but with proper encouragement he can be induced to locate in Selma and establish a factory which would be of great benefit to our growing town. He comes to us highly recommended as a gentleman of integrity and excellent business qualifications, nnd we hope satisfactory arrangements can be made to induce him to locate here. Probate.

Jones, publisher of the Leader, Mexia, Texas, was sick in bed for ten days witli the grip during its prevalence u year or t wo ago. Later in the season he had a second attack. He says: "In the latter case I used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy with considerable success, I think, only be ing in bed a little over two days. The second attuck I am satisfied would have been equally as bad as the first but for the use of this remedy." It should be borne iu mind that the grip is much the same as a very severe cold and requires precisely the same treat ment.

Some Pertinent Questions Editor Express: The Oregonian, In an editorial, on Jan. 30 says; "The first cause of the present deficiency of the revenues' was the repeal of the sugar tariff In the McKinley act, which cut off nearly sixty million dollars since the law went into effect. " Now we have been taught that tha foreigner paid the tax. Have we been wrongly informed? Had the tariff re mained on sugar, who would have paid that immense sum of two hundred million dollars? Would sugar have been just an cheap as It Is now, or would It have been higher? Is it not solid fact that the greater part of this vast sum would have been paid by the so called common people? Kindly answer plainly, so we can all understand this great question. One Who is Tibed of Tapfy. fHome other nerson who "Is tired of taffy" will probably answer the above questions to your satisfaction. Ed. LEBANON PRODUCE MARKET. J Changed Every Week.l Wheat 39c.
