Lebanon 'Express, H. Y. K.RKPATRICK, Editor1 - and - Proprietor. If business could only be meaa tlretl ly bicycling there would be no reason to complain of hard times. Those who expect to get fine farms at little or no cost on the Si lot a reservation are li t.oly to be disappointed. Morhow county has 241,680 Bheep. Out of this number 43,500 lias been driven out of the county by local and Eastern buyers. The lamb crop is estimated at 125,000. S. Dakota is to abolish its mili tia. The -people in these times find more use for pruning hooks and plows, than for swords. Bpears and pretty dudes in uniform, says anexchange. It would appear that the Kicka poo reservation lost its reputation when it' ceased being reserved. So far only some 440 farms have been staked off out of a possible 24,000. The other boomers are coming home by slow freight. ISastkhn Oregon and Washing ton has had sufficient rain to en sure" good crops. Wheat took s jump to 40 cents at LiGiande last week, and 20,000 bushels changed hnndint ibis figure. The seller had bought the greater part for 25 cents.' The crop outlook was never brighter than at present The fail amount of Boring showers and sun shine has done wonders in bring ing forth this assurance of every production. Th?t another yor will bring our country to a normal condition now seems certain. While plowing on an island In Missouri a man recently unearthed a rusty tin box containing $2700, a diamond ring and a gold watch. The ground had just been cleared and the box was found under.a log turned up by the plow. He says the paper currency is in good con dition and is undoubtedly genuine and that the dates on the coins show that the box was buried over ,a quarter of a century ago. Hebe is something worth trying, says an exchange, should you have occasion: "There is no use wait ing the floor with a felon," says a gentleman who has had experience in that direction. "Wrap a cloth closelv around the felon, leaving the end open. Pour gun powder in the end and ehuke it down until the felon is covered. Then keep it wet with camphor. In two hours the pain will be relieved and n perfect cure quickly follow." The great iron industry ot the United States .is now inoking up and the big manufactories are nearly all running on full time. This of itself is a propitious out look. Following closely nil periods of close financial times of our country it will be seen that this has been the first industry to move from its lethargy. And it is so now. A cheerful view of coming eventB is surely being imbued into the spirit of the times. One of the most wonderful clocks in the world is being exhibited in St. Petersburg. It was originally manufactured for the late Duke Charles, of Brunswick, who be queathed it to the Swiss confedera tion. There are no fewer than ninety-five faces to this colossal timepiece. It indicates simultane ously the time of day at thirty different spots of the earth's sur face, beside the movement of the earth around the sun, the phases of the moon,the signs of the zodiac,the passage over the meridian of more than fifty stars of the" Northern Hemisphere, and the date accord ing to the Gregorian, Greek, Mus sulman and Hebrew calendars. So complicated are the works that it took two, years to put them to gether after the clock had been ! sent in detached pieces from Swit lt rlW)4 to fcttitUi . Ourt order could leaid , a very valuable lesson from the doctrin of tho Quaker, or Friends' Church. That organization teaches, .and early instills in its' members the fact that there is no profit or gain in any of the courts, and they put it in this way: "The man who wins, loses, and the man who loses is robbed." It conies about as near the pratical truth as it is possibly can; in fact, its truth itsolf. How many have learned that truth to their Borrow? ' Our organisation has kept pretty dear of the courts, ' considering all things, and now it iB entirely too late in the day to re sort to a method where it is bo pub licly known and dearly under stood that "he that wins loses, and he that loses is robbed." Brothers, whatever our differences may be in our order let us settle them out of court. Peter H. Burnett, ex-governor of California, who was a pioneer Oregonian, left an estate valued at about $U7,000. His will, which has been filed for probate, is re markable for the advice it gives rather than for the bequests. It was made four years ago when Burnett was eighty-four yearc old. The seven sentiments which the simple old governor desired to per petuate in his will are: "Pay yuor honest debts; never disgrace the family; be just to all men, yourself included; assist your honest, sober and industrious relatives; property is only desirable for two purposes: To procure the necessaries of life and to be, more able to be chari table; be intimate only with good people; have faith in God and your country." Governor Burnett had $65,000 in government bonds to back up his first sentiment .and the remaining six came easy. The following from the Baleiu Post is of a very serious character, and puts a new phase on the char acter, of some of the members of the last legislature, and it is.no wonder they stood in with railroad commissions and jobbery gener ally. Some of the rooms in the state houBe are undergoing a few needy repairs in the way of kalso mining and frescoiugthe ceilings. The room occupied by some of the committees during the last legisla ture were left in a very filthy con dition; the caTpets were spoiled by tobacco juice and tho ceilings ruined by smoke. It looks -very much as though some of the mem bers or the clerks might have been raised in a pig pen, if their quarters were to be judged. Many of the chairs and tables were also broken and rendered useless, all of which are of the most expensive quality, and when the next session is called these broken articles will have to be replaced by new ones. There never wag a time in the history of the nation when insur ance was so cheap and when the necessity ol it was so great as at the present. Every man who has a dependant should secure protec tion for such one by taking a pol icy in some responsible order. Al most any order is good enough for membership, and the man ur wo man seeking protection -fo.' those nearest and dearest to them, can not miss it by uniting with any good fraternal beneficial order. In surance in an old line insurance company is too expensive for a per son of ordinary means to carry; but in a fraternal beneficiary order the cost is so 'reasonable that a poor man can easily meet the ex pense if ho so desires. No one pos sessing a spark of love or affection for their dear ones would hesitate a a moment to give' the protection when assured of the small cost at tached thereto. Now, to any men or women who have not secured nsuranee on their. lives in favor of their dependants we say: Come, join our order and protect your loved ones. Frater.
