Lebanon Express. H. Y. KIRKPATRICK, Editor - and - Proprietor. Trk Express hopes to see every' bv)y turn out next Monday and ot. And only good competent men put into office. When congress meets Binger Herman will probable be made chairman of the committee on rivers and harbors. Bonds, like other debts, are very good for creditors bat very bad for debtors that pay the in terest. Debt not Only endangers finandial stability but it destroyee independence. Ex. If the sheriff should have the delinquent tax list published this year. The Eppkbss hopes that the county court will see to it that it ib let out to the lowest responsi ble bidder and make a saving of two or three hundred dollars to the tax-payers. " " President Cleveland has had' the tails of all his horses docked and this discovery has canBed some excitement among thosa who de - precate such a radical departure from the long-tailed fashion that has prevailed among "White House horses since the dayB of Thomas Jefferson. The recent forest fires in Green leaf township, Sanilac county, Mich., have laid bare an immense stone wall running through a swamp. Tbe wall is eight feet wide at the tup and still wider at the base. It is believed to be ti'e work of man. A thorough examin ation will follow. The Southern Pacific has pro posed to the lines east of the Mi&v? sauri for an advance in freight rates from the Misouri river and points east thereof to California. Rates on the principal commodities are now on basis of 30 cents per 100 pounds from the seaboard. ' The Southern Pacific contemplates an advance inhese rates to SO cents. i . Completed statistics of gross earnings of all railroads in Mexico for nine months of' 1894Bhnw an increase of 4.81 percent, as com pared with the same time in 1893. .This result was -accomplished during a period when the earnings of United" States lines decreased ab ut 13 per cent. The increase on the Mexicanlinea in Septem ber was 8 per cent It is bad enough lor one man to sing another when be is sober, but when a man slugs another whom he knows to be prank, and has been drank for weeks, and deals him such a blow as to cause bis death, he deserves severe punish ment. It would not only be a lesson to him, bat would have a wholesome - effect rn fighting. Such men as Fitzsimmons are of no good to the. world anyhow. Ex.: The Silverton Appeal jay: An exchange thinks there will be a bitter contest against the re-enactment of the mortgage tax exemp tion of indebteduess laws. 'As a large majority of the legislators ware elected pledged to the re-en-aitment of these laws, the room for a contest does not seem very clear. But generally bankers and money lenders advance "solid" and "weigh ty" arguments enough to convince the average legislator that their ciuse, if not more, just,' is more profitable. Last Thursday afternoon as Edward iteach wm blasting stamps on. his place abovs Willamette falls he pnt a heavy charge of gUnt powder under a large stomp. Aft r waiting some minutes and tbe charge falling to explode, he proceeded to investigate th matter nd learn the cause. So sooner had Mr. Beach reached the .stump when the charge exploded, throw Jng him several feet into the sir, and when he resobed terra firm nnos more hs found himself Just 0 feet frsoi whsrs hs sUrtrl f" dfutttra Bl iluBS fpl I CITY TICKET. At the caucus held at the band hall on Wednesday evening the following ticket ' was placed in nomination: Mayor, M. A. Miller. ' Recorder, W. M. Brown. Treasurer, J. F. Hyde. Marshal, P. W. Morgan. Councilmen, N. S. Dalgleieh, J. C. Pilyeu, 8. 0. Long, 8. H. Myers, Ed Kellenberger and Geo Rice. The above is a good ticket and we predict all will be elected to a man, but before tonight (Friday) there will undoubtedly be another ticket in the field. Stolen Harness One Mr. Simon, a teamster, lived In East Eugene last spring. A tramp came along and stole a set of harness nf him. The tramp sold the name, which be had atoned In a seek, to one McFarland tor $1. McFarland snld the harness to Mr. Ell Baugi fur 11.60 Mr. Bangs sold to Wm Tarsons tbe enme harness for 6 SO. Mr. Parson trailed the same harness U Robert Blair for a light harass. This week Mr. Simutie who has been away-frora Eugene since last April returned to Eugene and happened to reoarnlae hishameM on one nf Blair's teams. 1 Blair gave It np to the owner and (at hlr light harness back from Parsons. Parsons got his 18.60 back from Bangs and when McFarland pays Bangs the tl 50 everything will be right again and McFarlaud will be in the scop for the tramp in gone these many months. All parties are satisfied as each had the one of the harness almwt Jnng dough to pay fur it Eugene Journal, Closed For Good. . Tuesday the Portland Baring Bank closed agalu; tbu time for good. The directors have concluded to wind op the affaire of thh institution. Upon a petition tiled by Cleveland Rockwell nne of the directors, Judge Stearns has appointed Hon. O. K. Denny, receiver. It is impossible to state what per cent the depositors will receive. It times were good, real estate eould be dis posed te advantage, so very little loss would be sustained to the creditors. As it is tbe chances of getting full pay is slim indeed. Many poor people will suffer this winter on ac count of this unfortunate transaction aud many a family will go hungry because their earnings are shut np in that defunct institution. If' the next legislature want to do a good act; let them pass a decent banking law, to protect depositors . from rascally officials and bank failures. Dispatch. . ' WasBhcDcadT There was s imitation at Phlhsnatb lust Thumday, writes "Jacob," when the O. P. truin arrived, with the cot par of Mrs. Frankie Peterson. Although he had died at five o'clock the day previous, her hands were still warm and limber, Tbe strange phenomenon caused many to doubt whether the case wss one of death, or only suspen ded animation. Far a long period friends stood around tbe still form and watched and wished for some sign of returning life, nut all in vain. The body was kept until two o'clock Fri day, when the hands became cold aud rigid, and tbe remains were consigned to a grave in tbe Newton cemetery. Corvallia Times. State Teachers' Association. The executive committee of tbe State Teachers' Assoeatioh -have determined to bold the annual con vention of teachers at Portland, December 26th, 27th, and 28th. Tbe committee extends a cordial and earnest invitation to the teachers of Linn county to attend and aid in advancing the Interests of the publle schools'. The committee on trans portation will secure good rates over the railways. It is requested that all teachers of this county who will probably attend the convention, send their names to this office. A- B. BlTBBBFORD, County Superintendent Mo Horse Market. J. W. Howard, of Manilla, says that there're more horses in Eastern Oregon than human inhabitants, and that they are running wild, and In many instances are unclaimed. The boras market is utterly demoralised, according to Mr. Howard. Several years ago there was more money in horses than cattle, hut during the past five years gnat change has taken place in these conditions. Now there Is scarcely any demand what ever for horses, and ths breeder in Eastern Oregon has tamed bis at tention to other pursuits, Ex. Miller will sell you 6 lead pencils for 6 sts, 12 sheets Fools cap paper for 8 eta. a magnificent tablet for ( ets. In fact everything in the stationary line In same proportion. Ladles, sail and sss what bargain jro ssn ftt to uilllnsry at V'M tSWipB'S, i How The Chinese Do Things. Everything relating to the Orient, where a terrible war is being waged uow between China and Japan is of Interest. . We would all like to see these people follow the example of the civilised nation In later years and set tle the difficulties without murder and bloodshed. But these heathen nations are just the opposite even in their way if doing common things. Tbe Chinese do everything backward. They exactlj reverse the usual order of civiliiition. Note first thrt the Chinese compass points to the south instead of north. The men wear Skirts and the women trousers. The men wear their hair long and the women wear It short. The men carry on dressmaking and the women carry burdens. The spoken language of China is not written and the language Is not spoken. Books are read backward and what we esll foot notes are inserted at the top of the page. The Chinese surname comes first Instead of but. The Chinese shake their own bands instead of the hands of those they greet. The Chinese dress In white! their funerals anu in mourning at weddings while old women serve as bridesmaids. The Chinese lauuoh their vessels side way and mount their hones from the oS side, The Chinese begin dinner wltb desert and end with soup and fish. Union Signal. Goo l Roads and Wide Tin Wagons, Mr. V. D. ritearns, in th Orange Judd Farmer, has some practical re marks ou tbe above Questiin,as follows: "When will the public wake up to thla important change? Not until there is a law to compel those who use narrow tires te make change. 1 have a large amount of road to repair and I find it Impossible In certain localities to keep a good road when heavy teams with uarrow tires are lu constant use. Mansfield, Ct, join tbe city of Willi- mantle and there is no railroad, ex cepting on the west side; consequently all the lumber and supplies from tbe north and east of the towns adjoining are hauled through Willimantic dome teams carry 8,tM0 pounds with two inch tires. They cut our roads all to pieces and do not pay a cent of tax. If heavy teams were compelled to use four inch tire and those carrying s ton or less three Inch tire, the roads eould be kept In good condition. In locali ties where the wide tire is used the condition of the road is much better. Why not have the ohange! It eould be readily brought about by legislative enactment" Ex.
