iibanoii Express. H. y. KIRKPATRICK, Editor and - Proprietor The populists of Linn county already have their ticket before the people. A serial story by Bret finite, America's great novelist, will soon be published in this paper. The Salem Statesman says that one democrat has been found in the first district with sufficient temerity to have his name used in connection with the congressional nomination. He is "Jeff' Myers, ex senator frim Linn. Owing to the low price for hops the pst three years, it is reported that many misers will either plow their yards up or not cultivate them this season. With the pres ent European war talk anu me prospects for one before the close i of the year, there may be money in hopB next year, besides there is u duty of seven cents a pound on them, which insures the home mar ket. Medford seems to be h iving con siderable trouble with her schpol buildings of late. The school house in that city was burned last Bumnicr, and a nevt one has been built; but now the regonian says ".Werlfora's schoolhouse is to floht under a new $50 American flag when opened." However, the Ore gonian does not state how far the building will float before it casts ' anchor, and it is to be hoped the! schoolhouse will not float out of town. Wilder than the wildest dream ot Jty Gould is an organization known in common parlance the coal trust. It started into ex stence last week and is builded on the ruins of the gold trust. J. Peir pont Morgan is the leading spirit and the Vunderbilts iwe his prin cipal backers. With a capitaliza tion of two billions of dollars, and the control of the entire anthracite cimI output of the country, the price oi coal Will be increased and the production decreased. The profits that will be made will be enormous. Ex. Mrs. Mary Ellen Lea e has made her debut into the ministe rial profession, and henceforth her literary prefix will be reverend instead of colonel. Her recent illness was the immediate cause ot her mind taking a divine turn. She promised the Master that if she recovered sho would consecrate her life to him, and she is keeping her! promise. It is thought she will be i ottered the pastniste ot the Central church of Christ, at Wichita, Kan sas which is vacant. She prom ises to skin the wolves m tiie church when she gets in, and she says there -re many of them there. For Sale. Allnfmy household goods and farm ing implements and toots ar for sale.

A PoUman'il Kxubuwtlon of Ik W Spot In tlu Atplwlt Walk. A Centra! park TwIUinvjn wns stand- Intr near the entrance i 100th street I and Central park vest the other duy looking very thoughtful. He strqked the leitrhnnd Bide of his fine red nius tiujhe with his ripht forefinger and gazed In mi alwtruuttd way at the lower riu8 of tlii' wheels oi carriages and bi- f cycles as ihoy passed. "What is weighing on your mind so heavily?" asked an acquaintance. The policeman turned savagely with: i "None of yonr " Then he broke off and said: "Oh, It's you, is it?" The tavage look pave wny to a half smile, and then the serious look came back again. "1 don't think," said he. '1 don't know, and, what's more, I don't give a cuss." Then he stopped talking to look at his questioner through the corners of his eyes. After a little urging and much hesitation he told this story; "You asked me once If I'd ever seen any snakes here in the park, ond I told you yea. That was early last sprinir, wasn't it? Yes, I thought so. Well, I ve Been some snakes since then. May- be you would like to hear about one that I've got to know pretty well? Yes? i uuoi oa x imuuguh U gU UUW.Q U11B T.. ..

You can see for yourself that it's not more than half an inch high now. What do you suppose wore it down so much ?" "The scuffling of shoes on it," the man guessed. "Well, I rather think nit The feet of men don't touch the edge of this walk twice a year. Do you Bee that robin's nest there in that oak? Well, the first time I saw that snake it was just Bwallowing the last of five eggs that had been in that nest. I know that there were five eggs In the snake be cause they showed in five bunches in the snake's middle the cuss had swal lowed them whole. He was a black one, by the way, and could ciimb like a gray squirrel, "H oa T 41.4 1.-1-.J nve unbroken eggs in him. and I m, wondering about what he was goinj to do with them. I found out nrettv soon. The snake climbed down the tree head first and crept toward the walk here, getting along pretty slow, for he was only 14 inches long, and the five eggs made a pretty big load for him. "The snake came straight toward this hummock here, and I was standing right here by these bushes. He crawled around the hummock several times, ihcn stuck his head in this little hole here in the asphalt, and then drew him self up into a hump, with his tail stick ing in this little crack here only the crack wasn't so large then and then he stood up just like a letter U upside down. Then he straightened out, and down came one of the eggs on to that hummock there. I heard the shell break. The anake raised up again and another egg was broken, and so on unt il there wasn't a whole egg in the snake. That's what wore that hummock down for all summer the snake broke his eggs on it" "Is that what made you think and look so seriously?" the man asked, as the policeman stopped talking. "Oh, no. I was just wondering if it wouldn't be a good plan for us police men to be made auxiliary observers on natural history here in the park. N. Y Sun. A POLITE SHERIFF. A Haaslng That Was Conducted Under - Rule of Society. "The most polite man I ever knew." said J. D. Ewahs, of Mississioni. to n gtar writer was a colored man down in my county. He belonged before the war to Col. White, one of the moat cul tured ond polished gentlemen in the south. During reconstruction daysTom was elected sheriff, and the first yeor he held the office a white man was sen tenced to be hanged. I knew the doomed prisoner, and at his request was with him for several hours a day for the last week of his life. "The aheriff came in the first time 1 was there, and addressing the prisoner, said: ' "Souse me, Marater Bob. I jess cum fur jess n little advice. Yo' see, wo ain' neither ob us as used ter ceremoi:: ous occasion ob dis kin', an' I jc. wants ter know how yo' would like lei hab de gallows, facih' de sun, or de odei way?' 'The prisoner told him to have his face awny from the sun. " 'Thank yo', Mars' Bob. I done hab It dat way. We don' wan' to make no exposition ob oursefs by notdoin'whut is propnh on sich events.' "Upon the next occasion the sheriff came in: " 'Mars' Bob, 'scuse me one moment, gem man. I jes wants ter hab yo' show me once mo' how you done tie dat knot. Mo" curiousest knot I eber seed.' "Upon the morning of the fatal day, as I went In, the sheriff had thedoomed man's foot thrown over a chair and was blacking his boot, the other one hav ing already been polished. 'Mawnin', sah,' he said to me.- 'Mars' Bob jes gittin' ready. I done borrered a suit an' necktie from de cunnel an' jess slickin' 'im up. Den I gits inter my own dress suit dat I hud made a puppus, an' Mars' Bob an" me, we gwine ter be de bes' dressed ob anybody.' 0 "Arrayed in full evening dress, the convicted man and the sheriff mounted the scaffold when the time came. 'AH right now. Mars' Bob,' said the sheriff, as he adjusted the cap. "Scuse me, sah, jess a minute,' and he touched the fa tal spring." Washington Star. Be Found It Out.
