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

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.

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.

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.

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.
