Lebanon Express. H. Y. KIRRPATRICK, Bduor - and Proprietor It loots like an extra seasion of congress will be called.' There is a lively contest going on in Kansas for the sent of Sena tor Peffer. The Oregonian says that Jona thrn Bourne will not be elected speaker, but that sn . Eastern or Southern Ooregon man wili be chosen. Senator Mitchell is the choice of the people. Heppner Gazette. Which Senator Mitchell the one who made free silver speeches in Washington, or the other who stumped Oregon in the interest of the gold bug candidate for presi deut? Roseburg Review. Charles R. Crisp, son of ex speaker Crisp, has been nominated by the democrats of Georgia to fill out his father's unexpired term in congress, and will no doubt be elected. Mr. Crisp is just 26 years old and will be one of the young est members that ever occupied seat in the national legislature. It is hoped that the election of senator at Salem next January will he accomplished without friction and loss ot time, lhe state is actually Buffering for important legislation and the members should see that relief is given. The senatorial question is principally a war among politicians and how' ever it may end will not benefit the common people greatly.' Guard. Palmer and Buckner carried only one precinct in the United States, and most romarkable of all that in Kansas. The place was Dudly tounship in Haskell county in the short grass country. In that township five democrats voted gold ticket and carried it bygone plurality. Against this McKinley and Hobart had four votes, Bryan and Sewall two votes and Bryan and Watson one vote. RoBeburg Review., In speaking of the senatorial articles published in the metropoli tan newspapers, a California ex change says: , "If only one paper gave such prominence to affairs at that character, it might be said that the paper was responsible, but when they all do it, the indications are pretty strong' that they have good business reasons for it. They lie in the fact that all subscribers demand it from the -sport who has his money up to the goody-goody fellow who won't even read the headlines until -he is safe within his room. The loss of fruit this season has been quite severely felt through out the valley. Just think of apples selling at $1.00 per bushel right here in Oregon, the home of big red apples. What may now seem to be a severe hardship may prove to be a bleesing in disguise, however. In the first place the stock of green, canned and dried fruits on the coast will be pretty well thinned out. This will leave a bare market and a good demand for next year. To meet this de mand the orchards of Oregon will be in better condition than ever. After a year's rest orchards always yield better. We predict that with anything like a favorable spring that the fruit crop next year will he unusually large, and that the price will be remuner ative. Ex. Washington girls are in aflutter, There is a new dude in town, and his name is, Seifl'edin Bey. ; He isl only 26 years old, and is said to be the handsomest man in Washing ton. He has fine eyes, regular features and a beautiful complex ion. In short, he is a diplomatic Adonis, being attached to the Turkish Legation in the capacity of second secretary, Seiffedin Bey only recently arrived in Washing ton. He is unmarried. Society gossips say that he has already captured a number of hearts, but ht declares modestly that tb re- port u premature. It may be safely anticipated, however, that he will be a conspicuous figure in society there diiftng the coming season. It is a misfortune that be speaks no English, but in Trench he is fluent, and many of the young women of the national capital can talk in that language. Chronicle. in tne senate there are now three candidates for the presidency of that body. There are: A. J. Johnson, of Linn county; L. L. Pattersoryof Marion; Jos. Simon, of Multnomah; with the chauces more in favor of the latter than either of his competitors. Of the thirty members of the senate, 24 are republicans, one-half being hold-overs, three democrats and three populists. The republican senators will settle the organization of the Benate in caucus, so that thirteen votes will be sufficient to determine who is to preside over the senate. It will be in the lower house that the real struggle to secure organization will be made. The representatives most spoken of in connection with the speakership are Geo. W. Riddle, Douglas county; Henry X, Benson, Josephine county; John M. Somers, Linn county; J. N. Brown, Morrow county; Jonathan Bourne, jr., of Multnomah county Ex. The following is taken from the Omaha, World Herald: Mirny farmers in Winside as well a? a number of business men are burn ing corn in order to keep warm, inpreferenceto coal. The princi - pal reason for this is, of course, that it is vastly cheaper, for- it takes only 1i bushels of corn to make a ton. There is also another feature to this which is actually sstonishiug when figured out. Ten dollars will buy 91 bushels or 11 cent corn. This at 75 pounds to the bushel, makes 6,825 pounds, which is equivalent to about the same amount of coal. The freight on this coal at 22 cents per 100 would be $14 32, so the railroad company loses that to begin with by this substitution of corn for coal. Thev also lose the freight on the corn they do not haul to Chicago, so in $10 worth of corn, or 91 bushels, at 12 cents freight per bushel, they lose $10.91. Thus we reach the remarkable conclus ion that overy time a resident of Wayne county burns $10 worth of corn for fuel, he saves $10 and de prives the railroad companv of $25 24 worth of business. The appearance is that only a comparatively small number of people e .er quite realize what an easy thing success would be if only they made effective the means to it which they have already in hand," writes Rev. Charles H. Parkburst, D. D., in an article on "The Young Man on the Fence," in the December Ladies' Home Journal. "Difference among people in respect to efficiency are far less an affair of resources than they are a matter of getting those resources trained upon a particular point, and of getting that point so close to the eye and the heart that it shall be able to draw those ener gies along convergent lines, like a sun-glass that will convert ordi nary temperature into heat by contractiiiL' solar lines to a fucus. It is worth a whole fortune to get well stirred up, to get all the energies of one's being drawn out in warm intensity upon a single object. A good deal of the success of even a man like St. Paul is due to -that posture of mind and of life which he expressed when he said, 'This one thing I do.' He was wholly drawn in under the power of a single purpose. He was aglow with that nurnose. Everything within him as corn- bustible material, which he laid upon the crackling bonfire of that purpose. Success was, therefore, easy to him." To The Mothers. You have nice children, you kuow and nothing pleases them belter than a nice nobby suit of clothes that keeps them warm and healthy.

The mayor, who was to head the deputation, pro posed to present him with some of the chief produce of the country, consisting of pineapples, figs and oreaui. It was accordingly arranged that each member should carry some figs and cream in sil ver basins, the pineapples, however, be tng dispensed with, - Before rutting out the mayor thus ad dressed his followers: "'As you do not know vory well how to conduct your selves before exalted personuges, you must watch me closely and do as I do." The procession was formed, with the mayor stalkiug majestically in front, furnished, like his followers, with a bit sin of figs in his left hand and another of cream in his right. There was a step down into the room, but the mayor fail ed to notice it. He stumbled, and the shock sent his face and beard into the cream basin. Trying to recover himself, he only made matters worse, for he fell upon his knees, with his hands and basin under him, and his creamed face raised imploringly to the holy father. The members of the deputation, think ing that this was the proper ceromony to observe in the presence of such a distin guished personage, dipped their beards in the cream, threw away their vessels and bent down on their knees, at the some time casting a half inquiring and confident look at their leader, as if they meant to say: "You see we are all right, We have carefully followed your exam ple." The pope was at erst astonished, but joon burst into a fit of the must boister ous laughter, while the attendants, thinking that the deputation had come to mock their master, began pelting then, with the saturated figs. The mayor hobbled out of the room, closely followed by his brethren, one of whom whisperedo him: "How lucky it is for us that we did not bring the pineapples!

The wife of the vice president has evidently never opened the coven of her husband's authorities on parliamentary order. Bat she was not blind to her own defects, so she supplied them quite easily by engaging as adviser a mild mannered man, who neverthe less knew all about overruling and quashing and laying on the table. This man sat at Mrs. Stevenson's elbow, told her what to do next in all cases and scut tled a number of ships in the Bhape of resolutions offered by adventurous Daughters. The first little incident of this sort was when a motion was offered by a distin guished looking woman from the Mount Vernon chapter. Mrs. Stevenson was standing at the time, and without wait ing for any discussion asked the yeas and nays and got them, too, before, the little man or any one else had a chance to draw a long breath. Immediately there was a storm of opposition. Then the mild parliamentarian whispered some thing to Mrs. Stevenson. She pounded in a ladylike manner with her pretty gavel and said: "The question before the congress, la dies, is the resolution. We can do cue of two things with it. We can either we can either what?' she blandly and frankly asked, turning to the blushing parliamentarian. . It was so openly done that it brought down the house, Mrs. Stevenson laughed, the little man laughed, everybody laugh ed, and order was not restored for sev eral minutes. Then they laid the reso lution on the table and went gayly on about their business. New York Sun. The Gallery God' Applause. Lawrence Barrett once told me of conversation he had with Edwin Booth. The latter bad been congratulated upon an ovation given him by a crowded house on the opening night of an engage ment. "The sweetest music to my ears," aid the great tragedian, "is the shout ing of the boys in the gallery. J know they are not applauding because I have a reputation or because they wish to make a display. They simply give vent to their natural enthusiasm. When they lliout, I know that I am giving a good performance. As for the parquet, it may clap its hands nt of politeness. A dramatic critic who had certain notions as to how a line should be read will ap plaud if I read it his way; otherwise he will remain quiet, I can never analyze the applause of the front rows, but the gallery is sincere in its likes or dislikes."
