:".-vD-".'--j "f' V, ':. 1 1 Lebanon Express, H. Y. KIRKPATR1CK, Editor - and - Proprietor Virginia Ims a reform spell on. TIipv proposo a thorough reforrun- tion in the election laws. .1 he law tit present, no doubt, is well enough hut the methods p.obably need re form. Al least that is what is the trouble in this city. Ex. An eastern scientist says the bi- ovele will prove a curse to the hu man race, and ils presistent use will result in mental and physical deterioration till we will be noth- iiiff Riinerior to nionkevB. The -"O " public accepts his apology and ad vises him to dispose of his wheel lu.fnrA thn ninnkev becomes his mental susperior. , The old showman, P. T. Barnum, left his widow, a young woman, about 12,000,000. Of course a wo man, with such charms could not conveniently remain single.,. She has married a Greet; preacher, wiiose name is Agothodorous A. Papageorgopoulous. To pronounce that name would, snaggle the teeth of an nlligator. The net that iB being woven about H. H. Holmes, the insurance swindler and wholesale murderer is discouraging to people who as. nire to like careers. Holmes was a skilful rascal and amassed a for tune bv his nefarious schemes but that will not avail him against the exposures made by his former ac complice whom detectives found in jail. Ex. ' If there is a man in existance who can conscientiously endorse all the principles of any political party as tiiey now are, we would like to. hear from him. The Re cord proposes to endorse the good in each party, whether it be Demo crat, Republican, Populist, Prohi bition or anything else. It also proposes to condemn the bad. ' Weekly Record. A man has been arrested at Baker City for riding a bicycle on the sidewalk. However, the fel lows who conduct gambling games, hold up men and other wise violate the law and degrade others have not been molested. The bicyclist should make war upon the derelict officials and drive them out of office if they will not enforce the laws with fairness. Pendleton E, (). The republican primaries in Philadelphia brought out almost a full vote, and Senator Quay de feated the combine formed against him by Governor Hastings, David Martin and Mayor Warwick, of; Philadelphia. It appears almost certain that he has won bis fight for the state chairmanship with some votes to spare, A conserva ' tive estimate gives him 160 votes in the convention, fifteen more than the number necessary to elejt. Ex. Theodore Durrant, the suspected murderer of the two San Francisco girls, is evidently guilty; but he is entitled to a fair trial. The judge seems anxious to give it to bim. The Examiner, though generally a fair paper, is entirely too biased. Its columns are filled with studied arguments atteniping to establish in the minds of the jury and the general public, the guilt of the ac cused. This should be beneath so great a paper and is wrong from principle. The fruit crop of Oregon, which is now coming into market, and for which a fair price is realized, is very large and of fine quality. Buy ers are all over the country, and take all that is offered, and the larger the quantity the better they like it and the higher the price. John Holman took to McMinnville last week a four horse load of Bartlett pears. They were bought by a Portland firm on the trees at sixty cents per box. At thl price, Mr. Holman says, be Ban slew IS' 100 par aore. Thit ought to -'fy a rcitaiiably taodnt 014 The hop crop of Oregon .is this year far a head of the orop on the Sound, and an old dealer in hops ays that he has always predicted Oregon will become tlio bifcinor state of the coast in the hop line. "Our climatio conditions and soil are Buch," he continued,"that they cannot be beat. Some routs of the oelebrated Bohemian hops will be produced in Oregon superior .to those produced in Bohemia. It is found th.U hops cau be grown here on high ground as well as on low ground, and of a better quality- Some year before long hops will fetch a high price agwn, nd Ore gon hop growers will make moiiey galore." Oregonian. The Honorable Mr. Kincaid is a queer figure in Oregon politics. Personally, he is said to above Te proach; but he left his personality behind, when he entered upon the. duties of secretary of state. Time, talents and money have been lav ishly spent to prevent certain state officials from drawing the. 'salaries' guaranteed to them by the state; and the surureme court has de cided that the secretary of state is wrong. Now if the honorable sec retary would spend a little of 'his time and talents in preventing Mr. Kincaid from pilfering the state and the people out of innumerable fees, the supreme court would de cide that the honorable secretary was right and Mr. Kincaid was wrong. There is a good ae.n oi the "Dr. Jekell and Mr. Hyde" with our honorable secretary. LEBANON PRODUCE MARKET. Casnjtd Every Weok.l Wheat-37c. Oats 12 to 15c Hay $3 to $5 perton.

' Hammoth-Menul Machinary of BISDUnk, Hyrun snd Otben. , The famous and fitly named German ,s;uptur, Sehnper, who executed the stutue of llismarek at Cologne, was privileged to be on more familiar terms than anybody now living, probably, with his sitter's head. He had that head in his hands for days, says the New York Journal, and surveyed and measured, and manipulated it to his heart's content. The results of hlsob 'scrvatious and mensurations he sub- sequenfly placed at the disposal of science, and science has proceeded to institute comparisons between the prince's head and others not only in point of size, but in point of brain weight also very greatly, as may be imagined, in the great mans favor. ' The Bismarck head measured 918 and 170 in millimeters. This, It appears, is colossal. In Baden, where heads run big, out 'of 2,300 they measured only one ran to 2110 millimeters from fore head to occiput. The most extensive . head they could find upon a .savant mm a cubic capacity of L800 centi meters only, llismarck's goes this 165 cubic centimeters better. Coming' to weight of brain, Kant, Dante, Byron, .X'uvjer none of them are in it with the -chancellor. Ctivier carried 8 pounds ounces in his brain-pan. Bismarck put np 4 pounds 1 ounce avoirdupois. This weight, however, has been equaled ''in the case of a British subject, re ported a couple of weeks ago in .the Lancet. He yielded 65 ounces the chancellor's figure exactly and he was deaf, dumb, daft, and a Scotchman. TRICKING TREE CRABS. Bow the Natives of Afrlen Pfevsnt Their Depredations. In Africa there exists a certain mem ber of the crab genus commonly known as the great tree crab. This peculiar shullli:,!, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch, has an offensive trick of crawling up the coeoanut trees, biting off the cocoa nuts and then creeping down again backwards. The theory is that the nuts are shat tered by tiie fall, and the great tree crab is thus enabled to enjoy a hearty meal.' Now, the natives who inhabit regions infested by this ill-conditioned crab are well aware that the lower por tiou of the crab's anatomy Is soft and sensitive, and they believe that the ' bivalve" was thus constructed in or der tlmt he might know when he had readied the ground, and when, conse quently, he might with safety release his grasp of the trunk. . bo what they do In order to stop his depredations, which often ruin the coeoanut erops, is this: While the crab is engaged in nipping off the edeoonuts they climb half way up the trees and there drive a row ot low nails right around tiie tree, allowing an inch or so of the nails to project. The crub has no knowledge of dis aster, nor yet the fitness of things. As lie descends, the sensitive part of his body suddenly touches the nails. Think ing he has reached the ground, he nat rnuliy lets go. Instantly he falls back wards, and cracks his own shell on the ground. ' Two Queer Illinois Wells. Near Augusta, 111,, there are two peculiar wells, each of which deserves 'special .mention in a department de voted to accounts of things out of the ordinary. The first is a "bottomless well" one which was sunk down until the immense running underground river was struck. The second is a well In which the water remains frozen winter and summer. These two wonders, each of which may properly be referred to as ''combined natural and artificial curiosities," are located at a distance of about a mile and a half apart. The frozen well is only about ten feet In depth, that of the other not stated. The Fire Cure. The native doctors of India practice a peculiar system known as "firing." Afllieted persons, no odds what the dis ease may bo, are immediately upon ar rival of the family physician subjected to the tortures of fire. A late report by a medical authority declares that there Is not one to the thousand of total pop ulation In Bombay and tha larger cities generally, who does not tw trauti u the application of the Art r"f In the jliai of huis, -it t" -i t UI Tho Hereditary Bootjnelt.
