H. W. GofT, H.J. Hopkins and Dr,
C. U. Chamberlain, by Blackburn
Watson, attorneys, have filed a peti
tion In the circuit court, for the re
moval ef W. 8. Thompson as ussignee
of the Bank of Oregon. It will be
heard by Judge Burnett at the regular
term of court beginning on March 12.
The matter is exciting considerable in
terest, and the proceedings before the
circuit court will attract general atten
tion. A meeting of the depositors of
the bank was held this afternoon tn
consider the situation, At present the
Democrat will not publish any of the
allegations in the matter. The present
line of attack seems to be to secure the
present on unpaid stock, and if possible
secure something out of the building,
on which a foreclosure of a mortgage is
now proceeding, Very little has betfn
collected go far, and the depositors are
dissatisfied with the efforts made to do
so. The hearing itself will bring out
imlh sides, which it always takes to do
justice to so important a matter. Mon

I' heard a little storytoday that makes
ltem conscience, Christianity and self
ajasement are something more than
Inere words, after all, and it Is so nice,
too, to heir such story of distress-,
ingly rich woman. The heroine and
the Is t geunine heroine none other
could do as the did ia the wife of a
magnate whose wealth Is Inestimable,
whose income it. incalculable She lives
in one of the most gorgeous mansions
wf the metropolis and la famed tor her
piety and charity. But the was not al
ways rich indeed she once was actual
ly poor. When the was a girl at board
ing school, the had probably less pock
et money than any of her classmates.
One time a collection was taken up
among the girls for a most worthy and
needy object. Our young heroine longed
to help, and she was to ashamed not to
be able, A schoolgirl's pride is a dis
torted, disproportionate sentiment any
how. So, in a moment of temptation
and weakness, she stole f S from her
ohnm, who Vs the richest girl in school.
I The latter, with the happy careless
ness of a petted child, who has more
than she wants, never even missed the
money at all. The end of the term came,
and the girls all went home. The rich
girl never returned. She became lost
i tq the ken of her former schoolmates
all save one, who remembered her with
agonising and conscience quickened dis-
j tinctness.
Finally, in the course of many yean,
i pur poor heroine had become the wife
or one or America s ncnen men, and
one day she heard that the girl she had
never relinquished the search for was
poor, ill and a widow, with little chil
dren. She hunted her np, invited her
to come to dinner, and without telling
her invited also SO of the friends whose
friendship and esteem she most valued,
ampng them her pastor.
After dinner, to every one's amaze
ment, she bad every servant summoned
to the drawing room. There, before
ber most cherished friends and her paid
subordinates, she confessed her Dett
pilfering of 80 y- tilore md ended
hit confession simply, "But 1 will pay
hack the money tonight." Therewasn't
a dry eye in that stately drawing room
when she finished, bnt only very few
who listened to herself abasement know
that the widowed friend took home fl,
000 for the pilfered $3, and bmidea a
promise of education and subsequent
care for her three little children.
Don't yon think my heroine bad in
her the spirit of the early martyrs or,
indeed, I believe it a higher type of
son)!

PREHISTORIC REMAINS.
The- Hkeltton of Another Tall Alun Reoaut
ly Dlaeovared Men Ucntans.
Fresh discoveries of human remains,
probably prehistoric, were found this
week on the Italian frontier near Men
tone. Two years ago the skeleton of a
man more than 8 feet high was unearth
ed at the same spot nnder tho direction
of an English archaeologist. Workmen
in a cave recently uncovered several
slabs of stono which seemed to form a
part of a dolmen. Tbo earth contained
many hones of animals, broken evi
dently, for the extraction of the mar
row, and there were indications of fire
close by. Several small, pierced shells
which once formed a chaplet and a
ow of stag's teeth were near at band.
The skeleton of a man 0 feet U inches
in height was lying on itn back. The
legs were crossed below tbo knee. The
right arm was extended and bent back
ward toward the head. The hand was
clinched. The left hand was placed
nnder tho head. The same position has
been frequently observed in early neo
lithic burials, A fine crystal of carbon
ate of lime besidA the skeleton was prob
ably a talisman. Further excavations
in the cavern revealed innumerable
bones of animals, notably a tine verte
bra) of a mammoth. Still another find
is a flint implement, which appears to
be of palieolithio age. Paris Letter,

Beerpass was violently enamored of (Je

ousy the lover wrote Celia a very ob
jectionable letter. The girl promptly
turned the letter over to the proper au
thorities, and Beerpass was arrested for
ending obscene matter throngh the
malls. He acknowledged sending the
letter, but claims he cannot be made to
suffer for it, as every sentence in it it
a quotation from the Bible, which be
readily proved. The defendant says that,
as the Bible is mailable matter, be had
a perfect tight to use the mails tor
