Chicago's Garbage Crrnutory.
Mrs. Schafler, of Chicago, has
lately invented a garbage crematory
built on the plan of a large oven. It
is fed from the top, the ashes sifting
through iron grates into four wheel
carts bo that they may be conven
iently hauled away. It is w) con
structed that the smoke and smell
are carried by pipes into a largo
smokestack. She has also con
structed a machine for washing win
dows. Frank Leslie's.
Salem aud all large cities need
some such crematory. And now,
while everything is dry aud before
the rains net in, would be a grand
time to have a general clean up and
burn up garbage and trash. The
resultant ashes would be a fine fertil
iser for onions and other crops.

THE STATE FAIR.

Preparations beins Made in
All Departments.
M'ACK IN VKKY GOOD ItUMANH.
Machinery, Turin Product, Mock,
Home luiUiHtrlc mill Flutter
to be Well ltepre-
ented.
Mr. K. L. Hibbard, of Sllverton,
who has been appointed superin
tendent of the pavilion at the state
fair, came in to-day to arrange for
the disposal of space in same. He
reports a good many applications
especially in the machinery depart
ment, which will be well filled with
a great variety. There are already
more entries than usual.
Mr. M. Wilkins, formerly presi
dent of thesocietv, of Lane county,
who makes the collecting of grasses
a specialty, writes that he is progress
ing well with his work and needs
fully as much space as last year.
George Relsliaw of the same county,
will have a magnificent showing of
grain.
The applications for room for
lloral displays in the garden lie
token a grand show in that Hue, as
this season has been especially
favorable for plant and blooms.
The garden will be under the general
supervision of ti competent florist.
It should be remembered that
there will be no entrance fee on
ladies' exhibits this year, but they
are entitled to premiums all the
same. Speaking of the cash
premiums, it should be remembered
that they will all be jwid in full
and promptly this year as the
society is in better financial condi
tion than for years before.
It is no longer a matter of con
tingency about the noted racers
being here, to compete for the
$1,000 and other pur&eson the track.
The indications of fine stock being
abundant are very good.
Salem and Portland merchants
ouixht to imitate firms in other
states, and make well arranged and
attractive assortments of their
wares, since competition is the life
of trade, and it affords one of the
best means of advertising.
At the great fair at Columbus,
Ohio, this month, additional at
tractions arc a Honied in the shape
of a day each for the republican,
democratic and prohibition parties.
Each is to have its day arranging
its own parade, speakers and doings.
It is expected that tho adherents
will crowd In from all directions on
the respective days and so swell the
gate money and thecnthuslasm. It
is not likely that the management
of our fair cares enough for affording
the farmers, when gathered from
all quarters, an opportunity to hear
tho three sides to follow such an ex
ample. Oregon has not grown up
to that yet. Politically It is pretty
sure to go one wayandsucha course
as that at Columbus might disturb
present relations.
One wise change made is the re
duction of the entrance fee one-half.
That will greatly Increase the at
tendance. Mr. Hibbard is determined to have
the pavilion all in order and
thoroughly cleaned up before the
hour for opening, on Monday, 17th
lust. Space should all bo 'ap
plied for by tho 12th. Intending
exhibitors note that.
A Tabacc Kxklkititi.
New York will hold a big tobacco
exhibition next winter. There are
600,000 retail tobacco dealers in the
United States end 000,000 workers
interested in the manufacture of
smoking and chewing tobacco. A
French machine will be exhibited
which will make cigarettes without
the use of paste and automatically
rolls, counts, sorts and puts the cig
arettes into boxes. A novel exhibit
will be a collection of pipes covering
a period of 100 years, from the stone
calumet of the Indian to the Jewel-
In-lald mecrshauin of tho Vienna ex
quisite. Pipe and amber carving
will be shown in all its branches.
The new growth of Florida-grown
tofcacco will be also shown. This
tibacoo, according to some accounts,
is the equal of Havana leaf and Is
expected to revolutionize the tobacco
trade in this country
Marriage at BllrrrUi.
As will bo seen from the usual
marriage notices In another column,
Miss May Coolldge, well known In
Salem, was married on Wednesday,
at Sllverton, to Mr. L. G. Adams, a
olerk in Wolffs store in that town.
Their many friends extend their
heartiest good wishes that life may
be loug and happy to the newly
married pair. They will remain in

Shortly before his death, Rev. E.
A. Shoreland, a missionary from the
Willamette valley to Africa, under
Risliop Win. Taylor's charge, wrote
to Jtov. T. L,. fcalis that it was so
difllcult toobtaiunativeAfrleanboys
on the Congo, to educate iu tho
Christian faith and to civilize, that
ho had been obllited to give for two
of them the overcoat bo bought iu
Salem, and twelve handkerchiefs
per month for each boy. When
tusked to give a dollar for foreign
missions many of us are to apt to
forget the self-denial, the sickness
and often the premature death of
those who go out to better the con
dition of tho heathen.

Word comes from Sautlam that
some lawbreakers In this land of

dastardly and destructive method of
concussion by means of dynamite or
giant powder. This Is unsportsman

is Illegal and subjects tho ofleuders

Calling In at Squire O'Donald's
shop, the writer observed him fram
ing a rather peculiar looking docu
ment, a diploma of membership in
the oriental order of the palm and
shell. It Is a side degree of Masonry,
gotten up by Dr. Rob Morris, a well
known literary man and great
traveler, who visited Salem shortly
before hl recent death, at a ripe age.
He is held in high esteem by many
both iu and out of the fraternity.
He was a native of La Grange,
Kentucky, but had become almost
cosmopolitan. Some years since he
was unexpectedly made poet
laureate of the great order to which
he was so devotedly attached by a
large meeting of prominent Masons
from various parts of the United
States, at New York. Occasionally
a Mason may be noticed wealing a
small white shell as a charm on his
watch chain. These shells were
brought by Dr. Mortis front the
shore of Galilee, for the members of
the order spoken of at the com
mencement of this article. Also a
plain, unpolished iron ring bearing
the mystic letters. A.N.I). The di
ploma of membership Is very
enigmatical and to the uninitiated
interesting but both literally and
figuratively, to a great degree, in an
unknown tongue. It is signed by
Henry It. Coleman, Louisville, Ky.,
assistant supreme chief of lT. S. A.,
Titos. Rowtiiaii Whytehead, York,
for England and Ireland; Robt. S.
Rrown, for Scotland; Rolla Floy,
Joppa, for Syria; Ferdinand F.
Oddi, Cairo, for Egypt; Constantino
C. Carrer, Smyrna, for Asia Minor.

Ho was a very inteiesting lecturer
especially on the evidences of the
truth of tho bible, being an active
Sunday school worker and member
)f tl10 Rresbyterian church. It was
unfortunate that no church could bo
obtained for his lecture on tho night
that ho was In Salem, as It was
Thursday and no one liked to give
up a prayer meeting for the purpose.
His request that a sprig of ever
green should be hung on each
certificate of membership when
news of his death was received, has
been compiled with here. Ho was
a "righteous knight." Peace to
his ashes.
A I'ei'Dllar IrrlJrnt.
Almost everyone In town knows
Willlo Murray, a bright lad of about
14 years, whoso father Frank Mur
ray formerly resided here. For sev
eral months past, Willlo has teon
engaged In freighting goods from
this point to Bridgeport. When ho
left hero on his return trlpyestorday
morning, among Ids other freight
he had some cans of powder, and
when out some distance on tho
road, looking hack he discovered
thnt tho powder was leaking out
Into tho road. Stopping his team
ho went to where the inflammable
material was hca)cd up in the
wagon rut and stooping over began
gathering It up. Iu doing this a
match fell from his pocket which
either from Iteing stepped umii, or
the hot rays of the sun, took fire,
igniting tiie loose powder and burn
ing the boy very badly. Mr. J. I).
Wright who acquainted uk with the
circumstance, says his right hand Is
nearly burned ofl aud that Ills head
and other portions of his lody are
badly scorched. He was taken to
Bridgeport where his parents reside.

, Jason Hamilton, a farmer, who re
sides near the Cascade locks, Mrs.
Hamilton and their hired man had
an experience with a cougar a few
nights since which is worth relating.
The Hamilton family had a number
of chickens, and these began to dis
appear Inside of one or two nights
in an alarmingly rapid manner.
The coop was almost empty, and
Mr. mid Mrs. Hamilton mourned
thereat.
At 0 o'clock one night a noise was
heard In the coop, and Mr. Hamil
ton and the hired retainer sallied
forth tocaptun the marauder. Mr.
Hamilton was armed with a shotgun
loaded with bird shot, while the
hired man carried a lire-torch. Hear
ing their approach something darted
from the coop and took refuge in
a tree. Mr. Hamilton, thinking it
was a wildcat, climbed the tree and
when he got close enough emptied
ltis shotgun Into a dark object perch
ed on tho branches above him.
Down came the object, striking Mr.
Hamilton, and he came down by
the run. The hired man saw that
it was a huge cougar, and, dropping
his torch, he tied like a scared wolf.
The cougar began to feel for Mr.
Hamilton, when the hitter's dogs
took a hand in the tight and dis
tracted Mr. Cougar's attention
Then Mrs. Hamilton picked up the
torch and Joined in the melee, which
by this time had become quite In
teresting and exciting. The cougar
made for Mi's. Hamilton, but that
plucky lady burned his chin whisk
ers with the torch and so held him
at buy. Mr. Hamilton elubbed his
gnu and struck tho cougar, break
ing oil the stock. Then ho took
the barrels, and with the assistance
of Mrs. Hamilton and tho dogs,
soon beat tho cougar to death.
When stretched out the animal
measured some nine feet.
The hireling lias In-en discharged,
the cougar skinned and the pelt will
lie tanned and made Into a cloak for
Mrs. Hamilton. Portland News.
