So much Is said about tho snappish lu 8f and iinpmlonco of tho clerks In the big dry goods stores that when one Is found that cannot bo mario crots by any combination of circumstances he ought certainly to have tho benollt of that fact being heralded abroad, oven !f for obvious reasons neither his nnmo nor the name of the stoit' whlcli is so fortunate as to have his trvlccs can bo given. Tho store is, however, In Four teenth stit'et. and the clerk is tho iihM accommodating one in tho whole tetail dry goods district, so it may not b" a haid matter for shoppers to iden tify him. It was on tho very hottest day of tho mouth that this clerk was put to his Mjvcrest test. An old lady from tho country had, with an intinito amount of tiotiblo, succeeded in making asomo .vliat extensive purchase of linen for her table. To pass over tho prelimi nary incidents of tho showing of about all the tablecloths and napkins and traycloths In stock before tho purchase was made, tho real trouble began with the payment. The old lady emptied out on tho counter tho contents of a small hand bag. The contents were dimes and live cent pieces, and there was a big heap of them. The purchaso camo to list under twenty dollars. After counting it over twice, tho clerk had to charter two extra trains on tho cash railway In order to get tho money to the cashier's desk. Tho old lady gave miuute directions for the doing up of her package, and statted for tho door. She stopped to think, and camo back again. Slio said that Uio napkins sho had picked out v. oio too coaVt.0 after all, and sho bo lieedthat sho would take finer ones. Tho bundle was sent for, and tho change was made. Moro dimes and live cent pieces were dumped down bo- foro the smiling clerk. Onco more the old lady started for the door, and onco moro sho camo back. She thought that sho would liko to look at the tablecloths that sho had bought. Tho clerk laid out her pack age before her, but sho decided not to make any cliango in tho tablecloths, and started away again; but sho came luck once moro nnd had tho tray cloths changed and tho clerk had to Ik her bill again. There did not seem anything moro that sho could want changed, and tho clerk sent tho bundle up stairs. In ten minutes tho troublesomo buyer was back again. This timo sho wanted u packago of Now York newspapers sent to bo done -up with her bundle. The clerk took them with a gracious icmark that it would not bo tho least troublo in tho world to liavo thorn put with her packago, and then ho gavo his attention to another customor as if all this had not been an incident worthy of notice. Of course, stories might bo told of clerks much moro accommodating than tiiis one, but thoy possibly might not havo tho advantage which this has of being strictly truo. New York Times.

Our criticism were made upon tho Board as such, as a body and not for a partisan purpose. If a reform In tho mauagemont of our state educational Institutions is to bo brnugutubout it Is not to bo no conipllshcd by introduction of more politics, but rather by employment of less personal and political methods. It is easy to understand why par tls'in Democratic papers seek to twist our criticism of the cut Ire Board around into u retlectlon upon an In dividual member. In doing this thoy would naturally seek to lay tho blamo on u Republican member of the Board. They do this as more partisans and for political purposes, and not for reform lu administra tion.

Givit.;; Eastern Headers a Conception of (lie Future Greatness of Oregon. Oregon is uot known to her Eas tern neighbors, nor Is hoi worth, her natural advantages mid resources reullzcd or oveu appreciated by her own native sous. A writer in tho Athena Press says; "No ono stnto In tho Union can compare with Oregon In tho vnrlety of resources and commercial advan tages. Take any state, or country in America and compare it with Oregon. It Is divided Into many districts, nnd has almost as many varieties of climate, and products, so in sj caking of her climate It must uot be cousldeied us general the state over.

Loudon, Sept. 0. On August 23, tho iudabltants of tho manufactur ing town of Liuthwulte, near Hud dersfleld, wero thrown Into a fever of excitement by . tho nows that a young girl of 10, Catherine Donnip, employed in tho family of nn inn keeper ucur that place, had been cruelly murdered by some unknown purpose. Tho iuu, lu which the family dwelt, was a small and little frequented ouo, on a quiet road, and was known ns tho Ivy Green tavern. The murder was a mysterious one. The girt had been left alone iu the house by her mistress, who had gone on a shopping expedition to tho towu. A neighbor, who chanced to cull, found Catherine lying dead on tho iloor covered with blood. All Uio Indications pointed to tho fact that Miss Dennis had died strug gling hard for lifo aud honor. The fatal wound was a stub In tho neck, which hud severed tho Juglar vein, though theio wusu number of other cuts and slashes sulllcleut, from tho loss of blood they caused, to hnye resulted lu deuth, even without the llnnlcutin the throat. Tho wholo neighborhood was In uu uproar, and tho entire populuco turned out en iniissc to limit for tho fiend who perpetrated the foul deed, The (lrst arrests mndo wero those of two men who wero known to hae visited the Iioubo '.sotno time befoie tho tragedy, and whoso movements wero regarded ns somowhat susp' cious. Thdy wero hurried before & magistrate and examined, but It wi s found that the wrong men had been arrested, tho prisoners having no dlfllculiy In proving their absence from the locality nt tho time of tho murder. Tho magistrates discharged them, and tho hunt, which hud been Interrupted by tho an est of the suspected men, was resumed with redoubled ardor. Several other sus picious characters wero takon luto custody, but nothing could be proved against them. Finally it became known that a man named Stoonwell had been eating a meal in the kitch en of the tavern when tho laudlady left tho hoiiHO on her shopping trip, and that ho hud been missing from his utiml haunts since that time, No doubt was henceforth entertained that Stockwell was tho murderer, aud all efforts were directed to dis cover him. The police aided by a pos-H) of 100 of tho dead girls neigh botH, searched dully for the mur derer, und tho authorities of all the towns within n rudlus of 200 miles were Interested in the hunt. The best available dotcctivo skill was brought Into requisition, yet not the slightest cluo to tho missing man could bo discovered. Tho people of the vicinity grew impatient nt the luck of success on the part of the guardians of the peace, und many taunts wero Hung at the detectives for their inefllclency. It has now turued out, however, that tho vigi lance of tho olllcers und tho caro with which they Jhavo been scouring the country wus uot without good eflcct, ns It prevented tho guilty mun from finding an opportunity to depart from the vlclulty of his awful crime. Lnst night Stockwell, uu able longer to endure the pungs of hunger, left tho place In uhlch he hud been hiding and crawled un observed to ids mother's house. The poor old woman, who had siidered tortures us tho revult of the suspicion which hud fallen upon her boy, M well us from his absence unit the uncertainty of ills fate, wus shocked ut his ghastly looks nnd wild man ner. Sho besought him to tell her the truth und ho related the talo of hlscrlinouud flight. lie confessed that finding himself alouo in th house with Cutlierlue, for whom ho hud conceived un urdeut ptuolou, ha could not resist tho tvmptutlou of milking advances to tier, When b ret I led him ho lost control of him self and attacked her with tho deter mination to overcome resistance by Torce. Tho girl screamed for help, und Stockwell was strkkeu with terror lest the nffenw should beooWxi known. He seized the girl by tb throat and endeavored to !! iter cries, but being nimble tOMiUlu her otherwise, he snatched up knife nnd stubbed her time nmd again uutll he ceased lu slruggkt. It was only when her lifeless form i 13
