Tub Tenerablo Judgo Holmaa of Intllanu, who did his level beat to defeat the world's fair appropria tlon, has applied for ten free tickets to the dedication ceremonies In Octo ber, ami he will Rot them, too. The Judge is a statesman of whom It may bo said that he "deaplseth not Hie day of small things," and the mauagers of tho exposition, being similarly dIsposed,canuot consistent ly lefuse his modest demand- for deadhead tickets. Spokane Spekesman: Kato Field discovered that the Capitol library doe3 not possess a gazetteer Inter than 1833. This fact probably ex plains the profound Ignorance dis played oy eastern congressmen when discussing weastern Issues and western needs- To legislate for Washington or Idaho on the basis of their population ten years ugo would be like reading Cooper's novels for a description of life In modern New York state. "The Democratic congressional committee, which is devoting thesa days to tho dissemination of cam paign literature, is receiving urgent calls from tho south for copies of the force bill," observes a democratic ox change. The item is doubtless cor rect. The force bill is the only Dem ocratic document tho faithful Iu tho south have uso for this year. They want It to serve as a scarecrow to persuade tho new party of the dan ger to the south If tho Democratic party does not stay solid. They know of no other good reason down there why It should. i THE FACT REMAINS No amount of misrepresentation of the facts by jealous competitors, or juggling with f ig ures, or pretended analyses and certificates, or distortion of any kind, can change the fact, that the Royal Baking Powder has been found by every official examination to be the high est of ALL in leavening power, and of absolute pur- x ity and wholesomeness. ROYAL is the best and most economical. a EX K. HALL, Paper Hangerand Decorator, Office at Chas, Cul ert's Mllllouery store, Salem, Oregon. JAPANESE Bsi CURE Utlctf, N. Y., Herald says: The "force" provided In tho Lodge bill was arrayed In every Instance to keep the ballot box free from fraud; to prevent false registration and fradulent voting; to secure freedom to citizens entitled to vote to cast one vote and to have an accurate re turn mndo of the vote cast. Tho bill aimed to "force" fraud out of our elections. Has the South any "right" to perpetrate fraud that lta curtailment would be "an outrage?" Tne bill was scrupulously free In every lino from Interferance with any oltizcn, black or white, south ern or northern, Democrat or Rep ublican, iu tho lawful and peaceful exercise of IiIb constitutional right.

He felt the iron as the bundle left his hands going into the cylinder, and grabbed to get it, but it was to late. It weut into the cylinder, where it was broken iuto several pieces and thrown back with terrible force. Ono piece cut oil tho end of the thumb, one strucK over tho eye and intlicted a bad bruise, and several other pieces cut his face badly. It was fortunate'that he was not kill ed.

This Is tho best crop ever raised on the placo.L.Townsend,who has a place adjoining Mrs. Craw ford's farm, raised 0,400 bushels on 100 acres. County Assessor Colo has about completed the assessment of Doug las county for the year 1802. Ho Is now gathering In tho few last strag gling blanks. There are many more blanks this year than last and it is probable the aggregate amount of tho assessable property will be proportionally larger. In making this assessment he has had the ad vantage of the present ownership list aud It Is doubtful if many prop erty holders escape taxatlou this year. A peculiar incident happened up the Oregon Pacific yesterday after, noon,, says the Albany Democrat of tho 1st ult. The train was coming towurds Albany, about three miles cast or jjyons, wnen a woman was seen by those in the cars to bo shak ing her apron violently, evidently for the benefit of oue of tho passen gers, a man ruling in tno car re- cognlzod tho woman, rushed to the platform, and though the train was going about twenty miles an hour, jumped to the ground, aud after turning several somersaults, got up, evidently not injured much. On reaching Lyons tho causo of the strange proceedings was learned, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Wyatt weut to that placo In tho morning for tho purpose of having Mr. Van Order, tho saloon man, arrested for selling liquor without a license. Mr, Mr. Van Order boarded tho train for Mill City, not being observed at tho time. Mrs. Van Order learned what was up, and walked up the track three miles and gave tho alarm, which her husband appreciated at once, A warrant was left for Van Order's arrest, aud lie will no doubt lie fouud in a day or two.

Mr. Steel has a picture nf tho first building. It was a small log hut, with shako roof, and had two or threo rooms. It was occu pied by Thomas Smith, the first postmaster, u November 8, 1849, and whs looted on the southwest corner of Front and Washington streets. Tall fir trees surrounded it, aud in front of the door huge fallen logs were plentiful. The office re mained there until 1852, wbeultwaa removed to tho corner of Front and Stark street.
