C. S. VanAuker, ex-cashler of the Rainier Bank, accused of being a de faulter, who is now in jail, is said to have led a dual existence, While at home he was affiliated with the church element, opposed to saloons and gamb ling, yet he is .known to have lost heavily at faro, In Astoria and other points, where gambling Is permitted. Such cases as this should be a lasting lesson to young men. You may fool part of the people all of the time, all of the people part of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time. ESTIMATED The Dalles has a school attendance of 653, which if multiplied by 1000 will give an "estimated" city popula tion large enough to make Salem and Astoria think they have symptoms of municipal appendicitis. Oregonian. Portland has a school attendance of 15453, which by the same rule would cause Liverpool, London and New York to have a few symptoms. We have accepted the agency for the Columbia Phonograph Co. and have a stock' of Disc and cylinder re cords on hand. Parties, desiring Co lumbia Phonographs, any style, can se cure them from us at the same price they would have to pay In Portland. We pay the freight.

They perfectly regulate these organs, without pain or tfiMemforl. 25c at W. P. McMMm'i SQHOOL NEWS This is the last week of the first month o' ichool. Examinations are the chief topics now. Marshall McAlister Is out of school for a few days, making a trip to Idaho. Several pupils in school have re ceived nice long letters from their "Uncle Will" but he evidently missed Lexington on his journeys, for if he had come here he certainly would have chosen this place instead of the place he decided to locate at, and Bessie would be attending school here. Monte Hunter has been absent from school a few days. He is visiting his brother in Portland. We have heard cf some comment in regard to the teachers review class and we would be glad to hear from those Interested for if enough wish t) undertake that work we would like to know it at once. The Directors have been very thoughtful of the Primary students, so rearranged the desks so the feet of the students might rest on the floor, where heretofore they dangled in the air. The slates are all nicely ruled, so the vertical writing may be carried on to a greater advantage. The little ones appreciate the long table furnished by the school board. Here they may use the gun-wads and imagine they are dealing with their fellow men and thereby gain a know ledge of the multiplication table and forty five combinations, without the learner knowing the aim of the in-instructor. TO BRIBES. b:.: of the Coal Dealers' association ;)f Gcnr.uiiv a number of delegates -poke on the practice of tipping and bribing. They complained that sto kers and others having to do with coal used in manufacturing works and large establishments of any kind must be given bribe money or have their influence used against the coal dealers to prevent the securing of new orders. The delegates urged the necessity of taking measures to abolish the nefarious practice. Americans traveling in Europe find the tipping abuse very annoying. The tipping evil has undoubtedly led to the bribery method which now has become so vexatious to business people. Brooklyn Eagle. Homemad Tops. Take big, empty cotton spools and paint them in bright colors; then pound into them Btumps of lead pencils of round sticks, leaving about half an inch at the bottom. (Sharpen this into a point, and you have a fine top. If you wish, you can put short, fluffy skirts on the spool and make a tiny hat or bonnet for the. part of the pencil that sticks out above, and you will have a ballet dancing top. Hospital Cars on Prussian Railways. The Prussian ministry for rail ways has placed at every important railway center throughout the king dom a magnificently built and ap pointed car for the transport of sick persons. These cars have been spe cially fitted up from plan3 supplied by sanitary authorities. Spring beds and every medical device for the al leviation of suffering during transit have been utilized. There are ice safes, gas stoves for cooking, rooms for attendants and ingenious devices for muffling the sound caused by the motion of the train. It is not in tended to make these carriages pay. They have been instituted chiefly on the ground of humanity. ruin from a ISurn I'romptly Itnllnvod by Cliniubei'liihrg J'liin llulm A little child of Miceael Strauss, of Vernon, Conn., was recently In great pain from a burn on the hand, and as cold applications only increased the in flammation, Mr. Strauss came to Mr. James N. Nichols, a local merchant, for something to stop the pain Mr. Nichols says: "I advised him to use Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and the first application drew out the Inflam mation and gave Immediate relief.
