Hood iiver Slacier. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1S94. Samuel Jordon Kirkwwort, the .war governor of.Iowa, died at Iowa Uity, ...Sept. 1st at the ape of 81 years. The national encampment of the Orand Army was in session this week at Pittsburg. Louisville was selected us the nextplaeeof meeting. . The Editorial Association of Oregon .lueetaat Pendleton on October 2d, just at the right time for them "to take a look at our big apples on their return trip. Shall we have a fair? ,... " ' At the election in Maine, Monday, the republican candidate for governor waselected by 38,000 over the demo cratic candidate; a gain of 1,300 votes. 'The democratic loss was 23,000. The U. 8. strike commission sitting at Chicago adjourned Aug. : 80th to meet in Washington; Uity Sept. 20th. Their report will be ready by Nnveiii Iter. Over 100 witnesses were examiu d, and - the commissioners think the investigation will result in much good. ' . . " ;. ' . The new Portland duily, the Morn-. ingSun, to-be issued by tli Portland j printers, will be started October 1st. "It will probably be a six-column folio, . arid will receive apness report. ; Capt. John O'Brien and Wm, F. Osborn will ...be its managers. ... One of the great attractions at a Mis- ouri countv fair last week ' was Ella liwlng, the Missouri giantess, the tall? est lady on earth. "She is 8 feet high, .22 years old, wears No. 19 shoes and No. 17 gloves. She was ; born and reared on a Clarke county (Mo.) farm, and notwithstanding her great height, Is still growing. The big railway depot at St Louis -was ppened Sept- 1st. The occasion 'Was made a civic holiday. Fully 25,000 people gathered to participate in the dedicatory exercises. The train heds cover thirty-two tracks, and are COO by '700 feet. This exceeds the area of the next greatest depot in the world by 400 square feet. The building is of stone, and, together with the grounds, tracks nd appliances, makes aii aggregative cost of $6,000,000. ' ' . . Though Senator Peffer of Kansas has, been the standing freak of the nation -who was pointed out to the Visiting hordes, the interview with him at his uvrauv vuv v"i - iiiigi j. scribes the tariff fight as a "grab game" in which thirty-eight democratic sen ators who desired to revise the tariff were balked by six more. ' He says that these six' are more republican' than democratic, in which he tells the truth. The thirty-eight had to submit to these men or pass no law, for without them a majority could not be secured.' Ac cording to him, the contest became a scramble for protection. The principle on which the democrats expected the bill would be constructed was lost and be among the others did his best to de stroy discriminations against the pro ducts of his state. Tomahawk. . 7 Senator Daniel W. Voorhees is mak ing arrangements for "the greatest ef forts of his life," in the .present Indiana Campaign. He has probably been reading in Western newspapers un- ' pleasant references to his health, which -for a time was really not robust, and recently he took especial pains to im press upon friends the remark: "I never felt better in my life." , In addi tion to this statement he announced that he would make his first speech of this year at Terre Haute, on September 18th, and that he will from that time on speak every week day until the polls close in November. ' 'The cam paign in the Hoosier state promises to be exciting and fiercely contested, while for Senator Voorhees the situa tion is more than usually interesting, as many ambitious democrats have de veloped a desire to be his successor in the, senate.. The legislature to be chosen this fall does not elect a senator, but a portion of it holds over, aud sev eral members chosen iu November will be in the assembly which will pass judgment upon Daniel W. Voorhees two years later. ' ' '' Republicans seem to have four favo rites in the field for the; presidential nomination Harrison, Reed, McKin ley and Cameron. The old officeholders favor Harrison, the congressional con tingent favor Reed, the extreme pro tectionists want McKinley, aad Cam eron is the choice of the free silver men in the party. The hope of Reed's friends is that the next house will be republican, wheu they will make the man from Maine speaker and in that way give him a great ; presidential boom. The friends of the other three candidates declare they would want nothing better to lay out Reed than .another term as speaker of the house, They insist that it wus his conduct as presiding officer of the house of te fifty-first congress that caused the re publican collapse in 1800 and 1892, and that another dose of Reed in the fifty fourth congress would at least have the effect of destroying Reed, even though the party should survive. The demo- prats, too, are doing some speculating j regarding presidential possibilities.. The democrats talked of for '96 are William .R. Morrison, William C Whitney 'Adlai A. -Stephenson and Claude Matthews. Morrison seems to be the favorite. Eastern elements, in their Jiiore serious moments, concede that the next candidate will be a west ern man. Those Avho adhere to the eastern control of ,the party favor the Humiliation of Whitney.. Mr. ' Steven son has a gaeut many friends who would like to see bim president, 'and yet, somehow," the . more reHp'onsible arid serious politicians do not think that his chances of receiving the,' nomina tion are excellent. Senator Turner, who is in charge of the populist headquarters at Washing ton City, eaya of the outlook for his party: "We polled votes in every state In the last election and have organized 100; per . cent Kirongor this ,,; year. South Carolina is absolutely purs. In California the populists are sweeping over the state like a tornado., .We are almost sure to elect Webster for - gover nor. Washington we will carry without a doubt. , We expect to get more con gressmen from the South than .from the West. We will have three or fouu. from Virginia.' Our leaders in North Carolina say they are going . to send us several. We will get every thing i n Colorado.. . Kansas has one unknown quantity how many votes will the democrats take from us by putting out a ticket? They have no hope for themselves, but just put out a ticket to help the republicans. Admin istration democrats are gradually amal gamating with the republicans, and in 1896 there will be only ' two parties republicans and populists.", , ' Colonel Thomas G. Lawler of Rock ford, Illinois, was elected. Thursday by the national encampment at Pitts burg, commander in chief of the Grand Army.' Colonel Lawler was born in England April 7, 1844.'

Moro Observer..... ' The 5ew Road to Winans. 'Winans, Or.; Sept. 12,' 1894. Editor Glacier: I notice in the. Glacier of September 8th a statement concerning the new road from Tuckers to Winans, the substance of which was that the road has just been, opened for travel; that the petition for the road asked for an appropriation of $700, but the com missioners cut it down to $200; and that Captain Blowers was authorized to con tract the work for $200, which lie did, etc. The statement is somewhat mis leading, making it appear that the pe titioners asked for an appropriation of $700 to construct the road and that the commissioners cut it down to $200, and got it done for that amount. The facts are, the $200, together with consider able volunteer work both before and after, simply constructed one mile of the short-cut , road between Tuckers and Divers, leaving five or six miles of the road from Tuckers to Winans as it was, no better, no worse, barring a lit tle grading (volunteer work) near Di vers. The mile of -road constructed with the $200 was the most expensive to build, two-thirds of it being heavy grading. There is no complaint about the $200 being spent where it was. Captain Blowers accomplished enough with it and- has the thanks 6f . all who are interested in the road for all he has done. '. Part of the new road, near Di vers,' Is too rough and sidling to haul heavy loads over yet. ! I write this to show that the petitioners did not ask too much when taey asked for $700, to be appropriated to construct the entire road .from Tuckers to1 Winans, the dis tance being six or seven miles; expe rience having shown that the first mile has cost considerably over $200. The opening of this road was and is a pub lie necessity, as every year sees many people from many different parts of the state traveling over the road, nearly all complainjng of Its rough condition. When extended it will finally give. the easiest possible access to Mount Hood, being a river grade from the Columbia to the foot of the mountain; Mt. Hood being the only serious hill on the road, aud that being at the farther end, no one who does not wish to need drive up it. '- The road will connect with all points of interest in the valley and will not be very expensive to construct. ' -' 'v"7; W. R. Wisass.

Copyright, 1887, by Harper fc Bros. ; , Mrs. Loring wanted a cook, and was j good to unburden her heart, and Mrs. talking with a young Swedish woman j Loring was a kind comforter, and re wlth a view .to engaging her. The nec-j minded her how quickly time flew, essary questions and answers had been exchanged, and everything seemed sat isfactory; but the girl still stood: as if hesitating, fingering the fringe of her shawl. She was round-faced and rosy cheeked, with a .somewhat chill look, which,' however, changed to a brighter one in a pleasant unexpected way when she smiled. As she stood with her head bent a, little' down, aud her eyes turned a little up, she would not have been a bad model for a painter of rustic studies. v , ; ' V "Dus you gels hev dey frants come in de evenings?" she said. "I didunty vwant much cumpny like so lots er gels, but I hev vwon fran whut come often.". And her red cheeks grew redder." - ';'. ' 7 ' ; ... Mrs. Loring "grasped the situation." ''Oh yes, Tilda," she said, "that will be all right; you are welcome to see any of your friends,;if the kitchen is not noisy and you keep early hours. You must tell them that Mrs. Loring is very cross if the kitchen - is not locked' by 1 o'clock." This last with a smile that at'once gave the lie to her words and insured obedience to them. ' -7 ': So Tilda came, and three times a week her lover came to see her. ' Reg ularly at balf-past 7 on his accustomed evenings his step would sound on the walk that led to the area, and as regu larly it would be heard, a few minutes before 10, departing. Her only other guests were her sisters, who came but seldom, and then, by. an amusing chance, always upon the alternate even ings; but no loud noises or boisterous laughing ever disturbed the houso; in deed, beyond a ' subdued murmur of voices, which might be heard .in; the pantry adjoining the kitchen,1' 'there was no noise at all. ' ; , . . . One evening, when Tilda had been domesticated about a month; Mrs) Lor ing went into the kitchen to prepare something for one of the children, who waa ailing. Tilda's "fran," Nicholas Jansen by name; was there, and Mrs. Loring, who always felt a kindly in terest in the affairs of her servants, no ticed him somewhat closely. ; To' her quiet "Good evening" he responded re spectfully, but . without any of the "sheepishness" which Mrs. Loring had observed, on occasions like the present, iu the men who had "kept company" with her other servants. He was a large, well-built fellow, with a strong, honest face, and as Mrs. Loring went upstairs she felt a little of the pleasure that all true women feel in the thought that another woman; however humble, is to be cared for by a man who will flo it worthily a pleasure not entirely ob literated by the more selfish mental query ' which would obtrude as ' to whether she would be getting married just as she became well wonted to: the work.; :.' ;;.', J!r- "I hope it will prove a 'long' court ship,' " she said, half aloud, as she reached the nursery, where other things soon . drove the subject from ' her thoughts. ' - ; '-"''' i Two or three months passed. Nich olas continued his visits, but Mrs. Lor ing, with the exception of two glimpses as hurried as the first, did not see him agaiu. One morning , in ; the ear'ly spring, when Tilda had been nearly four months with her, Mrs. Loring no ticed that she looked sullen and 'dWl, and that her eyes were swollen as If from crying; but she avoided remark ing upon it; thinking that the kinder way, and hoping that the mood would soon give way to a happier one. But days passed, and the change did hot come, . Tilda was. civil, and did her work fairly well, but she "glummed around" without a smile, and the traces of tears were often visible. So a week went by, when it suddenly' occurred to Mrs. .Loring that she had not heard Nicholas coming and going for some days and two and two instantly be come four. "A lover's quarrel," she thought; "I'll see if I can help mat ters."' So that evening, when the work was finished, she went to he kitchen. Tilda was sewing, but her eyes", were red and wet. Mrs. Loring always "re spected" her servants, and her intui tions were as. true, if different, in, ap proaching them on a subject sacred. to themselves as they would have been in a pimilar interview witli a social equal, so that in a few moments Tilda's heart whs won, and she was pouring it out unreservedly. . ,':... : -.. 7 : 7T7 "He hev gone back er Swaden," he said, wiping her eyes. . Then in an in stant: ' " He told I sud go longer wid em; but I kennety yus now. Marsees ters day all hare, and maryoonges seester, see heventy been - long avay from Swaden. -; I kennety leev hare right avay." 1 'But, said Mrs. Loring, ,."heJsft.'tJtwheu a lou knocking roused her to a angry; tie win come backY" v "Oh yaas; fen em fader veil, he com. Yaas" (with a pretty conscious pride in. It Is difficult to catch and transcribe the peculiarities of the Swedish accent partly that no two Swedes of the uneducated class, so far as I haTe been able to notloe, have Just the same, and partly that, after spelling lias done what It can, there remains an Indescrib able something, a sort of pervasive ''tongus tiedness," through it all, that baffles the at tempt to imitate It, Most of us, howver,aave met Swedes often enough to supply by our memories what Is deficient. hgr eye, and a little straightening), "he com back, but mebbe it be longer time. 'Em fader pretty mush seek,1 and em moder ees ole. I kenenty tal." And she cried again. But it had done her and how nice his letters wOuld be, and the interview ended. 1 Nearly a year passed. Twice every month (which was often for a man to whom a letter was doubtless a serious undertaking) a letter came to Tilda from Sweden, addressed to Mr. Lor ing's care, and Tilda herself had long ago regained her cheerfulness. In the mean time she had grown quite inti mate with the cook next door, and went with her to church Sunday even ings. One evening, as they chatted a minute in the area, Mrs. Loring no ticed a man's voice, and wondering if Nicholas had returned, looked out. as he walked away (it was bright moon light); but it was a much smaller man. She heard the same voice once or twice again, but gave the matter no thought, supposing, so far as it had place in her mind at all, that the man was the next door girl's friend. But one evening he came in, and she could hear his voice as he went around to the back' door. ,It was peculiarly rasping and harsh, and as the house happened to be otherwise unusually quiet, she could distinctly hear it in the distance from the kitchen for an hour, before he finally took his leave. She had by this time grown quite attached to Tilda, and she in stinctively feared trouble. "I'll wait and see," she said." She was accord ingly somewhat on the alert, and at the end of two weeks was sure that he had spent three evenings with Tilda, So she determined on an interview. As before, she waited until Tilda was at leisure and alone, and then went to her, armed for war, but wary. . "You have had several visits from a new friend lately, Tilda," she said, With a pleasant smile: "is he a rela tion?". ' ...... Tilda looked conscious, and crimped her apron hemin comfortably. It was a moment before she spoke: "Das been yoong' man com sometime hare; but dey's good man: dey's all time to de shursh." ' As the Swedish church was noto riously the one common place of meet ing of all the young working people of that nation in the city, Mrs. Loring had her doubts as to the singleness of motive ' which influenced, the youn& man's devotion to the sanctuary; but she kept this question of casuistry to herself, And also withheld any com ment upon Tilda's ignoring of her question as to the relationship, and Himed directly at the point of what she came to say. - , ; ' "I have no fault to find , with the young man, 'lilda; but I was thinking of that nice lover of yours in. Sweden. You musn't forget him." 'lilda laughed. "Oh, das all right, Meesis Lo'ing," she said; "yoong gels must hev sometime lettle foon. He'll trus' me" with a little head toss, "Das all right." . , : . . Mrs. Loring looked and felt doubtful, but she remembered the many girls in her own circle who also had a "lettle foon," and feeling, like the Vicar of Wakefield, "tired of being always wise," threw out some word of general caution and retired from the field. Again the weeks ran on, bringing such sequel as we may have guessed. Mr. Neilsen, as Tilda's new friend was named, could not have been a very amusing person, for it took more and more frequent visits,' until finally he came nightly, to afford her the "lettle foon" which she claimed as her right. Mrs. Loring expostulated until Tilda became sullen, and then, making up her mind that the matter was out of her province, dropped it, "shortly after which Tilda "gave warning." - 7 1 ' "You are going tobemaniedjTilda?' Mrs. Loring said. 7 Tilda's face hardened, and she stood silent. , ". Mrs.' Loring continued, "I have no right to your confidence, Tilda, if you do not choose to give it; but you have been with me a good while, and I am attached to you, and I am so anxious that you should do what is right" the last words with a manner so winning that it broke lilda down. "I kenenty halp em, Meesis Lo'ing," she sobbed. "Neeklus hev leen gone longer time, an' deys fader donnotty fettin veil an' donnotty die, an' I enenty alvays vwait for man wutkere more for deys fader an' moder 'n dey kere for me." ' - Mrs. Loring was silent, and seeing absolutely no soil in which to sow her store of good seed, remained so, reflect ing, as she retreated, upon the difficulty of grafting one person's actions upon another's motives. So Tilda left at the expiration6of her month, and soon after was married. Mrs. -Loring employed another cook, and Tilda slid into the past. ' -It was the new cook's "eveningout," about a month after Tilda's marriage. Mrs. Loring was reading in the library, sense that a gentler one bad preceded it. It seemed to be at the kitchen door, and she went herself to open it. At first she did not recognize the man whom she touna standing there, but In an in stant It came to her that It was Tilda's old lover, and in that same instant she realized with Catherine mdiarnation that Tilda, with the cowardice charac teristic of a weak and ignorant nature, had shirked the hard duty of confessing her faithlessness, and had left the re sult to distance and chance. What should she do? . . . . ; (Concluded next week.) ! Eea-CLtlfuil . S-CLroJLrl.d-In.gs-, ' SEND FOR CATALOGUE AND PRICES, Address,' : ' ' " '"-' " MRS. SARAH K. WHITE. Principal.
