There is no Alaska news of an ex citing character this spring, Trans- portation companies have probably learned that it pays better to stick to the truth and transact a legiti- mate business. Justice David Brewer of the su preme court of the United States rightly tells the people that the hatchet-destroying saloon women of Kansas are the logical result of put ting laws on the statute books, then failing in reasonable enforcement thereof. The officers would not per form thi* duties which they took oath to execute. The joint committee appointed by the two houses to examine the books and accounts of the state land de partment have discovered a short age of $30,949.73 in the accounts of George W. Davis, who was clerk of the state school land board from 1891 to 1895. If the alleged defalcation is proven, about the only tiling the state will get out of the deal will be the report of the investigating com mittee, as the bonds required of the ex-clerk were only given in the sum of $5,000. In 1895 a joint legislative committee employed experts who ex amined the books of this department, and reported having made a thorough examination, which examination showed a condition reflecting great credit upon the clerk. ■ ■ ------- The tragedy that, was enacted Off Golden Gate last week is as old as the history of navigation, but its consequences are none the less piti ful. The steamer, three days over due from the Orient, bad been lying off the entrance to the harbor all night, a heavy fog preventing her from entering. Restless under the disappointment of coming in with his ship so long overdue, the captain in the semi darkness of the early morning, took chances which proved his death and the loss of many lives, and also his ship. The pilot's story is to the effect that after the ship had entered the Heads and the fog enveloped her. he notified the cap tain that it was unsafe to proceed, but the latter ordered him to go ahead, The captain's order was obeyed, and therein the pilot con sidered himself exonerated iron blame, for the pilot's pilot s authority is subordinate to that of the captain, and he was solely responsible for her safety and the lives of the people aboard her However, the coroner s jury charged both the pilot and the dead captain with criminal negli gence. ---------------- - The last aet of the legislature be fore final adjournment Saturday night was the completion of the work which should have been done during the second week of the ses sion. That it was not accomplished then was due to the failure of the re publicans to harmonize and work to gether toward the election of a semi tor. In the tinal stampede, the al ternative of Hon John II. Mitchell or no senator was presented, and 35 republicans and 11 democrats decid ed the mutter in favor of the former. But the election of Mr. Mitchell will not act as a healing salve upon the two republican factions in Oregon. Mr. Mitchell has for a lifetime argued and debated and declared for free sil ver. The silver question never had a more ardent, or a more able advo cate than Mitchell, and his election tc the U S. senate is a decided tri umph for the well nigh obsolete ‘‘Mit chell republican faction, or fusion ists of the two preceding state cam paigns. Tliis means renewed bitter ness, for politicians are prone to de viate from the golden rule. Those who opposed Mitchell and Mitchell republicanism are apt to overlook his score of years of dignified semi torial life in which he was conspie uous us a statesman, while the mem ory of his loyalty to the cause of free coinage of silver remains to mock nt liis past career Mitchell s ability 01 fitness to represent Oregon has nev er been questioned, but there are those who deplore the inex itablecon tention and party bickerings that bis election suggests. ni:n<»< it vr*. Eleven demm'rals voted for Mr. Mitchell for IJnib ii States senator. But it is not. verily certain that they slr.ill have their reward. Even a larger number of democrats voted for Mr. Mitchell once before, out it did not seem to do them much g xxl. In fact, it did them harm. Mr. Mit chell did not help them out much; in deed, lie could not. Then, as he will now, he aligned himself with the re publican party and voted and acted with that party on all party meas ures. He will say. ‘‘You have your police and fire departments, J have performed my part of the contract; henceforth 1 am as straight a repub lican as anybody.” And very likely -in Washington - he will smile when he perceives what an unruly, uii tamable white elephant he has load ed upon the democratic party or a portion of it, of Portland. The local situation seems to be The republican party split in two: the democratic party split in two; the populist party vanished: and ev erybody at sea in the dark and a high surf except Mr. Mitchell, who, safe in port, takes his hat otf to ev ervbody, us everybody does to him. “Politics is a queer business.' Tel egram. Ill Il’S Hit a >1 VI ■« Ml n< II. It was on the twenty-fourth ballot that the landslide to Mitchell occurred. The hands of the clock pointed to 5 minutes to 12. Whitney moved to adjourn, but the motion was voted down. The roll call had been completed w hen Roberts turned the tide by changing his vote from Corbett to Mitchell McQueen ami Hemenway, of Lane, followed. Then came Thompson of Umatilla, and I’roeb- stel, who had also been voting for Cor bett, and Marsters, Diuitnick, Colvig and Hume, who since the first of the session had been unwavering in their loyalty to Binger Hermann. Hedges also returned to Mitchell, and then the willowy form of Butt of Yamhill mounted the chair Butt stated that inasmuch as he believed Mitchell had become the candidate of the majority of republicans, he felt it his duty to—but he was not allowed to fin ish. Cries of “Sit down!” stopped his oration. He then asked the question whether Mitchell did not have the ma jority of republican votes. “Yes,” and “No*’ came frotn every corner of the house. “Well, I vote for Mitchell anyhow," he declared with emphasis, as lie took his seat, The assembly hall echoed with cheers, Mitchell now bad 45 votes, within one of election. A critical 1110- nient had arrived. There was a sus- pelise. No one else seemed inclined to come to the rescue. Barrett got up and declared he would stand for Corbett for 40 years longer if necessary. Adams arose to protest against the filling of the aisles, There was no semblance of or- der. The president’s gavel was power- less, Cries of Shumanu and Mattoon came from all parts of the house, It was past the hour of midnight and it be gan to look as though tile assembly would have to adjourn without electing a senator. Mattoon was besieged and tugged at by a coterie of Mitchell men The Corbett men urged him to stand pat. Mattoon, however, was not able to with stand the pressure. All eyes were cen tered upon him An old man with tears in his eves and sobbing like an infant stood at his side. The election ot a Uni ted States senator was in his hands. He embraced the opportunity, stated his po sition anil cast his vote for Mitchell. Mitchell w»s elected. Pandemonium now broke loose in earliest. Deafening yells filled tile hall. Men and women stood on chairs and tables, shouting themselves hoarse, waved handkerchiefs and threw their huts up in the air. Dig nified senators embraced each other and danced and pranced like game cocks. The large crowd outside fell into line and for a while there was perhaps more noise in Salem than on a battlefield in the heat of battle. It was a scene that beggars description "Mitchell' Mitchell! Mitchell!” came from all parts of the house. President Eulton finally made himself heard sutli- cientlv to name Roberts ot Wasco, Brownell of Clackamas and A. C Smith ot Multnomah a committee to escort Mr. Mitchell to the platform. Mr. Mitchell was in the building, watching the prog ress of events from a distance, and was easily found. He finally reached the platform, but it was sometime before he had a chance to sav anything The sea of upturned faces w.is still thundering applause Mr. Fulton, in a neat speech, introduced the senator elect, who, m a few well-chosen words expressed his gratitude and promised to faithfully serve the best interests of the state. Mr. Mitchell declared with much feeling that he felt that the honor and ovation he was receiving should have guile to j Senator McBride, and not to him. F M. Garrison of the Sheridan Suit was in the city yesterday fining to sickness the relatives of the Widow Bean could not accom pany the body home to Oregon. E, F.

SPRING IS COMING So are Our New’ Goods. Tin- public school entertainment giv en on Friday last was fine, and the crowd that was packed in the hall showed due appreciation. The receipts were forty-eight dollars, which goes for 1 the public school library. Prof. Kelsey was quietly married to 1 Miss G. Binford of Indiana, at the home , of President McGrew, on Saturday even- I ing 1 1st, and the college boys were great ly surprised but recovered sufficiently to give the newly married couple a lively 1 serenade on Monday night. 1 oluaubiis School Notes.

Frisbie of this city is the pos sessor of a rare momento of the middle ages of the last century. It is a souve nir of Wm. Henry Harrison’s inaugura tion as president. It is made of brittan- nia metal, is about the size of a silver dollar, and on one side bears an eques trian statue in bas-relief, with the in scription “Maj. Gen. W. H. Harrison, 9th president of the United States.” On the reverse side is the capital build ing and the words, “Inaugural medal, March 4, 1841If these medals were at any time very numerous, they are not so now, as they are not within theniem- ory of any of our oldest citizens. This one has been an heirloom in Mr. Fris- bie’s family. Before the death of his father he made the request that it be given to his son, and while he was on his visit to the old home in Ohio last year it was given to him. Of course he prizes it very highly, both as a rarity and for the tender associations it recalls I'rnhalr Court. Guardianship of Walter and Harry- Jones, minor Indians.

T A great many women are subject to »pells of dizziness, spots before the eyes, and a ringing noise in the head.

Hence, cures of heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and other organs are constantly effected by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. There is no alcohol in the " Discovery” and it is free from opium, cocaine, and all other narcotics. Some dealers may offer a substitute as ’’just as good" as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.
