WEST SIDE TELEPHONE. Th «re is some miggefltion of buying Gov. Moody’s handsome residence a» a gubernatorial mansion. It is a shame that impecunious Oregon governors have t*> sleep on a French bedstead behind a curtain in the executive oiiice. Secure the mansion bv all means. I )C ill I u D I f Watts introduced in the senate,a license law Tiles lay t > supplant the defunct Ready law. It places the license at first »•">');) and requires the applicants to file an alii Iavit not to violate anv of the provisions of the law, violation and con­ viction of which will incur the penalty of perjury. The>e is little doubt of it* passage. The license feu may be cut down though. Senator Wagner, of Umatilla county, has introduced a lull in the senate to regulate freight charges. The bill es­ pecially applies to eastern Oiegon. It provides a maximum rate per mil« and will make a reduction of about one-third. It lias particular application to the O. R. A N. Co. This bill should become a law by all means. Eastern Oregon people have been burdened t»y heavy freight long enough. A bill has been introduced in the leg islatilre to chop off three miles from Col­ umbia county and tack it on to Clatsop, thus taking in the line farming land along the Nehalem valley. Columbia county very justly, objects, liecause of the road and school imp.-oveinnt.s made by that county and pronounces it a land grab ot the greatest magnitude. Ranch­ ers ure just getting patents, enabling them to pay taxes, when Clatsop reach­ es lor tlie prize. The greatest tool ot the age is a girl in Chicago, who wants to marry Spies, the condetned Chicago anarchist. But Sher­ iff Matson declares lie will not permit the marriage to occur, so long as Spies remains in jail, under his charge. The sheriff expresses surprise that the par­ ents of the giil should allow her to vis­ it a condemed criminal. When Miss Van Zandt appeared at the jail, the other morning, she was refused admittance by the guards, as orders had been issued to allow no one to see the anarchists. ! It seems that the democratic adminis­ tration will have democratic postmasters or no postoffiees. At Burton View, in Logan county, Illinois, JIr.V. N. Hinkle lias been postmaster for some time, and a short time ago was arrested and taken to Springfield oil a trumped-up charge, and was promptly discharged. A dem­ ocrat was hunted up to take the office, mid the only person ot that persuasion was a woman, who, on being ap|>ointed, declined, and now the office is to be abolished, and the people of Unit vicinity will have to go seven miles to Lincoln to get their mail. Some of the evils resulting from strikes are being exemplified in New York, ns will be seen elsewhere among the dispatches. It is not the strikers alone who are thrown out of employ­ ment hv their froward actions. If this was the case there would be far fewer strikes. In this instance hundreds of men, in no way connected with the strikers, but whoso employment de­ pends upon a supply of coal to run the machinery of the various establishments where they ate employed, and which supply is not to be hail oil account of the strike among the coal handlers, are thrown out of work, while their chil­ dren cry for bread. Truly, evil begets evil. TELKOHAl’HIC. NOTES AND NtWIi George Hurst has been elected U. S. senator from Caliiornia. Savoy, Texas, is all agog over the dis­ covery of an underground lake that may be reached twelve or fifteen feet from the surface of the ground. The water is pure and good, arid affords the most valuable basis for factory purposes. Maxwell, the murderer of 1’reller, still lingers unhung, though the public has almost forgotten his atrocious crime, If he doe* not die of old age in the meantime the sentence pronounced against him will probably Ire executed sometime duriug the present century. Great activity is still manifested in the war department at London. A feeling prevails in all departments that an Eu­ ropean war is inevitable ami the crash will come when least expected. Military circles in France. Italy, Austria, Ger­ many and Russia, still continue active. The San Francisco chamber of com­ merce has passed a resolution recom mending the legislature to promptly puss an iimmendment to the penal code to make it a death penalty for every at­ tempt to destroy life by dynamite and other explosives, whether successful or not. Mrs. Henry Winn, of Oak Grove, III., died Wednesday night after fasting lor forty-seven days. She was afflicted with a bowel complaint, and has taken neith­ er food nor drink in the above time, When the fast began she weighed 300 pounds, and at her death she was re- duced to a mere skeleton. Four prisoners escaped from the coun­ ty ¡ail in Portland last Tuesday. They made their escape by digging through the rotten mortar and bricks that com­ posed the outside wall of the jail. The escaped prisoners must be a pretty tough set if one can judge from the Climes for which they were waiting trial. An attempt was mado Monday night to wreck the east bound train on the At­ lantic A Pacific railway by putting spikes on the rails near San Joes, a small sta­ tion ninety miles from Albuquerque. N. M. The express wag three hours late and a freight train ran ahead and struck the rail. The engino was turned com­ pletely over, but the fiieman and engin­ eer escaped. About 10 o'clock Wednesday morning J. N. Berry, a saloon-kee|>er at Flagstaff Arizona, was shot and killed by Hames. The llamea brothers were quarreling with a man in the saloon, and Berry in­ terfered. Half an hour after the murder tho citizens took the two brothers and shot them to death. Berry was a quiet peaceable man. The Hanies brothers were known to be desperate characters, and have been involved in many robber­ ies and shooting scrapes. The New York Star’s London special of January 14 says: Inquiries at Down­ ing street to-night elicited the informa­ tion that the government has no con­ firmation of the reported Russian seiz­ ure of Afghanistan territory. The re­ ports are utterly discredited. At the same time it was admitted that extend­ ed defensive.preparations were going oil in India. Military operations in the northwest is only a question of a few months, more or less. OAKDALe, Cal., Jan. 18.—A fire broke out at 12 o’clock last night on the east side of the railroad op|>osite the depot, destroying Farson's restaurant, Ruther­ ford A Adie’s saloon, Reeder’s restau­ rant, Momoe's saloon, and Kernmayer's hotel; loss, »20,000; half insured. The cause of the fire is unknown. M inxeapous , Jan. 18.—The six rounds contest between Cardiff and Sullivan to­ night resulted in a draw. It is claimed that Sullivan broke his wrist in the first round, and duiing the five other rounds but little sparring and shuffling was done by either of them. The crowd of 7,000 spectators were disgusted. W asiiixotox , Jan. 18.—The bills granting pensions to Mrs. Logan and Mrs. Blair were defeated this morning in the house by the committee on inva­ lid pensions. When the committee met the members were arrayed in party lines, Reven democrats voting against, and five republicaus in favor of the bills. S t . Louts, Ian. 18.—This afternoon William Elie, a cabinet maker, entered the kitchen where his wife was engaged in preparing dinner, and seizing a butch er knife stabbed her several times in tlie breast. Elie then attempted to cut hi* own throat, but did not indict a fatal wound. He was removed to the hospi­ tal. It is thought he is insane. N ew Y oke , Jan. 18.—The trial of ex- Alderman John O’Neil, the next “bood- ler” on the list of the district attorney, will probably ere ite more of a sensation than its predecessors. He is going to set up the defense that lie never was an al­ derman of the city, llis counsel will demur to the indictment, basing their argument on the assumption that the entire board of which the members held office was in direct violation of the pro­ visions of the constitution. N ew Y ork , Jan. 18.—The scarcity of coal, on account of the strike of the coal handlers, causes increased interruption to busineRS and hardship to the poor. Havemeyer A Elders large sugar re­ finery has shut down, being unable to get coal to carry on the business. Eight hundred men are thrown out. The I’almer cooperage was also compelled to close, throwing out GOO men. A large number of other establishments will succumb unless the blockade is speedily raised. Coal at retail sells from »7 to »9 per ton in the city coal yards, and the supply is rapidly diminishing. The sit­ uation of the strike does not seem to have materially changed. TSTew To-Day. A. A.
