HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Events of the Past Week. The house has received another rate bill. A reign of terror now exists at Riga, Russia. An immense graft by St. Louis police has been exposed. President Morales' army has been beaten and his general killed. From Kansas north all trains are greatly delayed by snow storms. Both sides in the strike of printers for an eight-hour day claim gains. Witte has ordered wholesale arrests of all opponents to the government. Twenty-one miners were killed in an explosion at the Coaldale, W. Va., coal mines. One of Boston's savings banks has been looted by the officers and the institution closed. Harvard university authorities have ordered that there must be a change in football rules. The government will investigate the recent sale of the Fort Stevens military reservation in South Dakota. Small railroad companies of the middle west have reserved the right to issue passes, but all the larger lines will enforce the new order strictly. The Navy department has petitioned congress for a large number of changes in the navy. One of the changes desired is the re-establishment of the rank of commodore. Witte's cabinet is denounced as grafters. The national debt has decreased during the past year. The Russian government has captured a bomb factory at Warsaw. Congressmen are angry at losing passes and may retaliate on the railroads. Three Cheyenne, Wyoming, soldiers will die as a result of drinking a mixture of bay rum, lemon juice and hair tonic. A New York grand jury has been drawn to try about 1,000 alleged frauds arising out of the recent election. Wireless messages from the drydock Dewey report it to be making good progress in its trip across the Atlantic. The production of gold and silver in the United States for 1905 shows an increase of $6,000,000 gold and 1,000,-000 ounces of silver. James W. Wadsworth has been nominated by Republicans in caucus as speaker of the New York assembly, thus defeating the plans of Odell. Five men have been arrested in connection with the murder of ex-Governor Steuenberg of Idaho. One of them, Thomas Hogan, is believed to have at least made the fatal bomb. Kentucky Democratic members of the legislature in caucus have nominated Thomas H. Paynter for United States senator to succeed J. C. S. Blackburn. The nomination carries with it the certainty of election. Panama is preparing for a general election. The big drydock being towed from New York to Manila has encountered a storm. A sink in the tunnel connecting New York and Brooklyn has stopped trains temporarily. Printers are on strike in many cities throughout the United States for an eight-hour workday. It is feared that Governor Peabody and General Bell, of Colorado, will meet the same fate as the ex-governor of Idaho. The New York legislative committee on insurance has decided on a measure to regulate companies doing business in that state. Over 9,000 attended the president's New Year's reception. The Russian government announces that the revolt at Moscow has been put down. Thousands have been killed in the fighting. A Great Northern passenger train ran into a stalled freight near Helena. Several persons were injured and the caboose and four freight cars burned. The Russian government claims to have crushed the Moscow revolt. Roosevelt is now accused of taking sides in the British election. House Takes Up Consideration of Philippine Tariff Bill. Washington, Jan. 4. — The cause of the Filipino was advanced on the floor of the house by the Republican leader, Payne, for nearly four hours today. He represented the views of the majority of the ways and means committee on the Philippine tariff reducing the duties on sugar and tobacco to 25 per cent of the Dingley tariff rates and admitting other products of the islands to the United States tree of duty. Before and following Mr. Payne's speech brief discussions indicated that there is to be a protracted debate on the measure, and that the Republican opponents representing the cane and beet sugar interests of this country will speak and vote against the bill. Washington, Jan. 4.—After waiting for almost a year, R. M. La Follette appeared in the senate when it reconvened today, after the holiday recess, to claim his seat as senator from Wisconsin, and the oath of office was administered to him by Vice President Fairbanks. The ceremony was witnessed by a crowded gallery, which manifested much interest in the proceedings. After La Follette had signed the oath which he had taken, he was again joined by Spooner and escorted to the seat assigned him among those Republicans who have seats on the Democratic side of the chamber. Assignments of La Follette and Gearin to committees was made as follows: La Follette — Potomac river front, chairman; census, civil service, claims, immigration, Indian affairs and pensions. Gearin—Claims, pensions, forts and fortifications, industrial expositions, national banks and District of Columbia. Simmons resigned from the last-named committee to make room for the Oregon senator. The senate discussed at some length a proposition to reprint a magazine article by Newlands, entitled "A Democrat in the Philippines," and also a resolution for the regulation of senate patronage. Both were adopted. A resolution calling for information concerning the status of affairs in Santo Domingo was presented by Tillman, who made an unsuccessful effort to secure immediate consideration of it. Gallinger had expected to open the debate upon the merchant marine shipping bill today, but, when the bill was late before the senate, he asked to be excused from talking until next Monday, when the bill will be formally taken up as the unfinished business. After a brief executive session, the senate adjourned until Monday. BRITAIN READY TO STRIKE. Would Have Smashed Rojectvenski i Togo Had Lost. St. Petersburg, Jan. 5. — The remarkable allegation that the British fleet was held in readiness to destroy the Russian fleet, if the battle of the Sea of Japan had gone in the Russians' favor, is made by Admiral Rojestvensky in a letter published in the Novoe Vremya today with the permission of the minister of marine. Referring to the absolute secrecy of Admiral Togo in regard to the disposition of his forces, Rojestvensky declares that "this was unknown even to the admiral of the British fleet allied with the Japanese, who concentrated his forces at Wei Hai Wei, in expectation of receiving an order to annihilate the Russian fleet, if this, the final object of Great Britain, was beyond the power of the Japanese." From Admiral Rojestvensky's account of his tactics in the battle of the Sea of Japan, the reader is almost convinced that the Russian commander outmaneuvered Admiral Togo at every point, and was himself the real victor. He delares" he knew Admiral Togo's exact whereabouts two days before the battle, made his disposition accordingly and entered the fight with his eyes open. Mr. Spring-Rice, the British charge d'affairs, without waiting for instructions from his government, demanded an explanation from Foreign Minister Lamsdorrff this afternoon of the statements contained in the admiral's letter to the Novoe Vremya. Cincinnati, Jan. 5. — The United States Printing company, capital $3,376,300, one of the largest concerns of its kind in the country, will be leased to the United States Printing company, of New Jersey, if the stockholders on February 1 ratify the action of the directors announced today. The company has plants in Brooklyn, Montclair, N. J., Norwood and Cincinnati. The total output is estimated to be nearly $2,500,000 annually. The new holding company will take over all the plants of the company. Strikes Bankrupt Big Iron Works. Paris, Jan. 5.—The correspondent of the Journal at St. Petersburg sends an interview with an official of the Putioff Iron works, who declares that the establishment will be closed from January 13, owing to the impossibility of carrying on the works after the losses caused by the strikes. CONGRESS RESUMES. In the Senate. Great Printing Trust in East DARE NOT REVOLT Little Danger of Break Between Congress and President. HEAR VOICE OF THE NATION Many Senators Soon To Be Elected and Opposition to Roosevelt Means Political Death. RENEW Rebels Say Mr. Weakness Chicago, Jan. 11. Petersburg Revolutional initiative in one of them, just returned to the St. Peter General Doubts acres upon the Count Witte at the Interior d that the addi or 30 kopecks' fled the troop were continui Washington, Jan. 2.—Two-thirds of the United States senate will come up for re-election within the next three years, and of this total 34 are Republicans. This fact is likely to have considerable influence upon the ultimate stand taken this winter by the senate on measures advocated by the president and endorsed by the people. It does not necessarily mean that the senate will fall in line and follow the lead of the president, but it points to such action, and the wise observers, after studying the situation, think they can see the senate supporting the president on the large issues now up for consideration. During the first weeks of the session it looked very much as if the senate would take issue with the president on many important questions of legislation. There were unpleasant words regarding the Panama canal; there were murmurings about the president's course regarding Santo Domingo; and behind it all considerable private comment upon the president's railroad rate policy as outlined in his message. Many senators have reached the conclusion that the president is recklessly usurping the powers of congress to some extent, and they have displayed evidence of ugliness on that account. For a time it looked as if there would be revolt. But will there be? Rather, will not the senate fall in line and follow the lead of the president? It is a serious thing for the party in power to break with its president, and such a move is more apt to injure those senators and representatives of the insurgent class than it is to injure the president. What is more, the party in power must suffer from any such revolt. These things are being carefully weighed, and there are those who now predict that there will be no break between control and the president, unless it may be the railroad rate issue, and even on that issue a compromise is more likely than an open rupture. KILLED BY BOMB. Ex-Governor Steuenberg, of Idaho, Victim of Dastardly Outrage. Boise, Jan. 2.—Frank Steuenberg, ex-governor of the state, was killed Saturday evening at his home in the suburbs of Caldwell. A dynamite bomb had been placed at his front gate with some contrivance by which it exploded as he entered. Both legs were blown off and he lived but 20 minutes. There is no known reason for the outrage, but it is charged to some member of the famous inner circle of the Coeur d'Alene dynamiters, whom he prosecuted so relentlessly in 1899, while he was governor. Governor Gooding is in communication with the authorities of that county and is prepared to put the full support of the state behind the officials there in running down the perpetrators of the crime. It is thought probable that the leading detective agency of the country will be asked to send some of their best men to the scene and the state will offer as great a reward as the governor may find he has power to propose. Steuenberg was governor of the state from 1897 to 1901, having been twice elected. He was born in Iowa 44 years ago and had been in Idaho since 1887. He left a wife and three children. Anarchy on Siberian Road. St. Petersburg, Jan. 2. — Warning news has been received from Siberia. It is reported authoratively that the Siberian railroad is disorganized as far as Chelaiibsk. Railway stations have been pillaged by soldiers and sailors. General anarchy prevails along the line, and trains are being run with great delays and uncertainty. At Irkutek there has been a general heading-up of the line, and robbery and pillage have made the place almost unenable. Disasters of the worst kind are feared along the whole line. Smoot Confident of Result. Washington, Jan. 2.—Senator Smoot, of Utah, believes that when a vote is taken in the senate upon the question of his right tc retain his seat, he will come out victorious. He expressed himself as anxious that the test be speedily made. The call issued by Chairman Burrows of the committee on privileges and elections for a meeting Saturday, has brought up public interest. RENEW WAR ELSEWHERE. Rebels Say Moscow Revolt Showed Weakness of Government. Chicago, Jan. 3.—The Daily News' st. Petersburg correspondent says: Revolutionary leaders disclaim the initiative in the Moscow insurrection. One of them, M. Gilliaroff, who has just returned from that city, reports to the St. Petersburg committee that General Doubasoff carried out the massacres upon plans agreed upon by Count Witte and Minister Durnovo, of the Interior department. Discovering that the additions to their pay of 20 or 30 kopecks monthly had not satisfied the troops, and that mutinies were continuing, the government decided that military on interior duty should receive twelve-fold wages, and that the police should be given special rewards. Simultaneously the governors and their subordinates were empowered to declare martial law at any time on their own responsibility. Thus the whole empire was put in a state of siege. This encouraged the police and soldiers to provoke riots by attacking peaceful meetings and bombarding the buildings. Drunken dragoons butchered everybody, then the people joined the revolutionaries and built barricades, and the massacre went on. The chief of the revolutionaries, M. Sokoloff, said: The Moscow demonstration disclosed the weakness of the government. During an entire week cavalry, artillery, police, reactionary volunteers, generals, admirals and statesmen failed to overcome a badly armed force of 3,000 workmen, while the people remained neutral. We shall begin again in some place like Odessa or Kieff, where there are fewer troops and more workmen, and where the people sympathize with us. In the fighting at the Newsky works the other day the losses of the soldiers were greater than ours. The fact that the garrisons at Krasnoyark has joined the revolution shows that the exar's forces are decreasing, while ours are growing. AGREE TO STOP REBATES. Big Three Insurance Companies Will Make Cleveland Referee. New York, Jan. 3. — An agreement to abolish rebating on premiums has been entered into by the New York Life Insurance company, the Equitable Life Assurance society and the Mutual Life Insurance company. An announcement was made today that Groves Cleveland has been approved referee to decide all questions in dispute that may arise in such matters and that his salary will be $12,000 per annum, to be paid jointly by the three companies. Mr. Cleveland has accepted with the understanding that the officers of the three companies are to second his efforts to stop rebating. A similar appointment was held by the late Thomas B. Reed. Any agent who gives rebates will be dismissed from the service and will not be re-employed by any of the companies. It is the desire of the companies to secure the co. eration of all other life insurance companies to this agreement. It was said today that, if rebating can be entirely abolished, the first year premiums can be reduced. SUBMIT PLAN FOR BIG CUT. Stevens Will Advise Canal Commission—Bring Labor From Spain. Washington, Jan. 2.—The Isthmian Canal commission held a short session today. Chief Engineer Stevens, who came to Washington to present his views to the commission on the type of canal that should be constructed, was requested to submit any project which he may have for the excavation, removal and final disposition of the excavated material to be taken out of Culebra cut in a canal with a summit of 85 feet above low tide, and also to inform the commission whether or not he has worked out or has a project for a sea level waterway. The commission authorized the chairman to appoint a committee to review, appraise, condemn or dispose of material left on the isthmus by the old French company, which must necessarily be removed. The experiment proposed for securing labor from the north of Spain was approved. Decision on Irrigation Law. Washington, Jan. 3.—In an opinion by Justice Brewer, the Supreme court of the United States today affirmed the decision of the Supreme court of Arizona in the case of Howard vs. Perrin, involving the right to use seepage water for irrigation. A statute giving the right to appropriate for purposes of irrigation water "from any convenient river, creek or stream of running water" gives no right to sink a well, collect in it the water percolating through the soil and draw it off in pipes or aquas for irrigation purposes. Earthquakes in Austria. Vienna, J n. 3. — A series of earthquake shocks were felt at about 5:30 this morning at Agram, Gilli, Laibch, Marburg and Gratz. Buildings cracked and the inhabitants fled panic stricken from their houses. NO. 37. After all, the wonder seems to be that there is anything left for the policy-holders to expect. Mr. Rockefeller's mall continues to supply proof that his money is in the mind of many people. Russia is finding that the end of the Russo-Japanese war meant only the beginning of the end. A sea level canal possibly might be completed in time to be called the Theodore Roosevelt Jr. canal. As between a battleship and a new bonnet there is some doubt as to which more quickly becomes obsolete. Emperor Nicholas' manifestoes, like the platforms of some American political parties, are not meant to stand upon. The fight is not against the principle of life insurance, but against the life insurance grafters who have no principle. Kaiser William says he wants "only plous and gallant soldiers." The Kaiser never had a regiment of Rough Riders. That writer who describes Sarah Bernhardt as the "greatest living dramatic artist" had better keep out of Richard Mansfield's way. John L. Sullivan announces that he is about to retire from the stage. Coming so soon after the death of Henry Irving, this leaves the drama rather groggy. The Japanese, the Chinese, and even the Turks, may be pardoned if, after reading our football returns for the season, they contemplate sending us a few missionaries. Colleges that have failed to win distinction on the bloody football field will have to be content with merely furnishing opportunities for the acquirement of a good education. One advantage of studying the "Origin of Life," as Professor Loeb is doing this, is that the job will last forever, passing along as good as new to an endless succession of professors. Judging by the cable reports, if the Russians had been as active in fighting the Japanese as they are in slaughtering the Jews, the war in the Far East might have had a different termination. Mrs. Astor invited only seventy nine guests to the dinner which she gave in honor of Prince Louis. New York's "400" must during the past few years have been making rapid headway in the race suicide business. Mr. Hyde admits that he does not know any other company that would pay him a salary of $75,000 a year. He probably does not know of any other company in which he ever held $7,000,000 worth of stock and securities. Edna Wallace Hopper has during the past few weeks been sued for breach of promise, figured as the heiress of an $8,000,000 estate and been operated on for appendicitis. Edna has evidently decided to make a stir or bust. Privilege is the root of all evils in politics and business. It is one of the oldest sources of wrong in the world and has wrought more ruin than all the piked mobs of the unprivileged, who blinded by poverty, ignorance and injustice, have stormed the citadels of privilege and power. All experience shows that human nature is too frail to bear the strain of privilege. The sense of might overwhelms the sense of right. One of the tests of a philosophical soul is the reasonableness with which it sloughs off old beliefs, and sees treasured doctrines die without losing faith in the whole scheme of things. A lady recently complained against attacks on her favorite patent medicines, her favorite financiers and her favorite character in history all in the same magazine. She humorously protested that she had been thrown into a state of universal skepticism. The wise person will not lose sleep or stop going to circuses simply because the "real mermaid" turns out to be made of shoe-leather. The person who makes up his mind too resolutely never to be fooled again will miss a great deal of intellectual serenity. The friends of vigorous outdoor sport have long been pleading for the rescue of football from the blight of unfair play which causes nine-tenths of all the physical injuries and all the demoralization of the players. "Slugging" is contrary to the rules, the hiring of outsiders to play in college and academy teams is forbidden, and various other things are condemned. Yet in spite of the rules, the conduct of many players and their trainers suggests that they deem it more important to win a game than to play fairly. The demoralization has progressed so far that college presidents have begun to protest against the practice of teaching the players how to violate the rules of the game without being found out. When matters have reached such a pass it is time to call a hail. College and academy sports should be conducted in a sportsmanlike manner. A victory won by fraud or trickery should be made so unpopular that the man or team winning it should be forced in very shame to refuse to accept the award. The only way to bring this about is for those who believe in fair play to insist upon it at all times. If every high-minded youth who finds his associates playing unfairly should refuse to take part until the unfairness is eliminated, the reform would soon be secured. There are already encouraging signs that the high-minded students are asserting themselves. Those in a large academy in New York have set an example by deciding to play no more games with other schools. They wish other schools to discontinue the game, and thus cut off the supply of material for the colleges, and thereby force them to amend the rules radically. The idea is a good one, and is to be heartily commended. It is imperative that the young men who are to lead the nation in the future should not have their moral standards broken down while in college by the practice of the theory that anything is fair to win. One's self-respect is always too high a price to pay for victory. You know the moral-hunting man. He likes to preach and be preached at. How often do you hear him say, with conscious pride, "I never read a book unless it is instructive and elevating. I can't waste my time on high-flower fancies." He may be a worthy citizen, a model neighbor, a good husband, but he is not the kind of man you'd like to go fishing with. And just here is where that Hall of Fame jury made the mistake which has caused a protest on both sides of the Atlantic. In the rejection of Poe and the selection of Whittier for honors in this lofty institution it would seem that moral character rather than literary genius is the essential qualification for undying fame. Granted that a man is as bad as his worst feelings. Isn't he also as great as his greatest work? What is highest literature or truest art but the clearest expression of man at his best? The beauty which man creates must first dwell in his own soul. And true goodness and greatness will sometimes thrive all the terrace in soil that is not too sterile of the human element. When Raphael painted his master altarpiece it was not moral enthusiasm—it was not desire to teach purity and sanctity—that inspired him to the work. He did not try to give a faithful portrait of Mary, a daughter of the house of David. He saw the flower girl on the street; the radiance of her countenance so filled his soul that he could not rest until he had perpetuated her loveliness; and as we drink in the purity of expression, the wistfulness of the far-seeking eyes, the tenderness of the whole character of the Sistine Madonna, do we not perceive the benign soul of the artist in his perfect conception of womanhood and motherhood? The great artist reveals two people in one—the person he paints and himself. Another of the world's great masters, Robert Burns, failed in many things, but his songs go straight to the heart. They will live as long as men live and love. And the best of him lives in them. It was much the same with Poe. His life may have been a curse to himself, his family and his friends. Yet those rare flights of genius which make him the "tall pine" in American literature reveal his higher self in lightning flashes. A man's work is the thing. Obliging Father. "What's till that bunch of stuff?" "Our little girl made herself sick yesterday, eating too much pudding, and I'm taking home a few of the remedies suggested by the child's two grand-mothers." Of Ancient Lineage. Dr. Holmes says it is better to be self-made than not made at all, but, all else being equal, he would choose the man with the family portrait-gallery to the one with the 25-cent tintype. It is truly comforting to feel that the possibility of inheritance lies on the side of good breeding, and not on that of ignorance. It was with such such sentiment that the lady quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle made her claim of ancestry. "Oh, yes," she sald, proudly, "we can trace our ancestors back to—to—well, I don't know who, but we have been descending for centuries." History Doesn't Relate. "The Mikado invited 2,000 naval officers to dine with him last Friday." "Graclous, I wonder what Mrs. Mikado said when he came home and told her he had invited a crowd like that!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Fatal. "Poor Perkins has gone broke." "Why, what did it?" "He took money matters out of his wife's hands and ran the house on business principles for two weeks."— Judge. THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON.

They who have the love of God will look like God. The father's manna assures their children of His mercy. You may know a man by the things he wants to Christian liberty. They who have the love of God will look like God. The father's manna assures their children of His mercy. You may know a man by the things he wants to know. Many preachers prove their courage by whipping the lambs. A chance comes to every man. When your chance comes, be ready. God always has a use for the man who cannot make a truce with sin. He who justifies the means by the end will be judged by the means at the end. Giving men the church without Christ is as successful as fattening hens on chaff. Some people think the choir is intolerant because it excludes those who can only croak. The only thing that gives a man the right to rule is the rendering of some service to men. A man can endure a good deal in the sermon if you give him something to do in the service. Many men hold their wives' religion as an ice-ticket to be cashed when needed in their own country. The success of a crooked stick and a bent pin only proves the possibilities of a good pole with a real fisherman behind it. The pulpit would be more likely to reach men if the preacher's course included a term in the rough and tumble of daily life. Many a man who congratulates himself that he has done nothing worthy of prison may go to perdition for what he has left undone. The church member who sleeps all winter is always the one who has most to say about the devil not taking a vacation in summer. MUSIC HATH CHARMS. Queer Medium Through Which Two Old Ladies Were Recognized. When Tom Harding read his wife the letter telling of the death of his father's cousin, Henry, by which Henry's sister, Veronica, was left alone and nearly penniless, warm-hearted Molly's response was instant: "Write for her to come to us, Tom. We have plenty of room." "Are you sure, Molly?" Tom hesitated. "It seems to me that in taking Grandma Miller you did your share." "But that's just it," Molly replied. "She and grandma will be such company for each other! It won't be any more trouble to speak of, Tom, really." So Tom wrote, and in due season Cousin Veronica appeared, dazed and bewildered, poor soul, but grateful for a home. Then the unforeseen occurred. Grandma Miller, who was really not grandmother at all, but some relation nobody had taken the trouble to figure out, apparently took an instant and violent dislike to Cousin Veronica, by whom the sentiment was promptly returned. All Molly's efforts to bring the two into harmony were unavailing; if one old lady expressed a liking for anything, from knitting to waffles, the other at once displayed her scorn for the thing in question. "According to all rules of sentiment," Molly lamented, "they ought to be reconcilled by the children, but that is as hopeless as all the rest; Cousin Veronica 'favors' Betty, and Grandma Miller sees only Teddy. I don't know what I shall do." But although nobody guessed it, the crisis was even then approaching. Half an hour later the country quiet was broken by an unusual sound, the gay thunk of a hurdy-gurdy playing—of all things!—"Dear, dear, what can the matter be?" Hurdy-gurdles were rare in South Meadows. Two small, eager figures darted out to the road; Hannah, the cook, rushed to the kitchen door; two other figures, one hurrying from the front chamber and the other from the sitting-room, met at the side door, each with a nickel in her hand. Evasion was impossible; they were caught, fairly, in a mutual enthusiasm. Cousin Veronica made one last stand. "Tain't the plano-thing; it was the music," she explained, stiffly. "We used to sing it in singing-school." Grandma's eyes were bright with memories, and the words slipped from her mouth before she could stop them; "So did we. There ain't any such pretty tunes nowadays." An hour later Molly, passing Cousin Veronica's door, almost stopped in her amazement. There at the two sunny windows sat two old ladies, rocking and knitting, and two eager, cracked old voices were singing with frequent breaks, but very evident content, the ancient strains of "Araby's Daughter." The hurdy-gurdy had done it.—Youth's Companion. Precision. "I hear you have invented a flying machine." "No," answered the honest inventor. "Not a flying machine; an airship. I have invariably found that flying machine" is a misnomer."—Washington Star. Now is a good time to quit talking one way and acting another.

The following dispatch appeared in the Oregonian Wednesday morning: Jackson, Miss., Jan. 2.—Governor James K. Vardaman, in his annual message to the Mississippi legislature, which assembled today, again took a strong stand against spending public money for the education of the Negro, saying in part: "As a race the Negro is deteriorating morally every day. Time has demonstrated that he is more criminal as a free man than as a slave; that he is increasing in criminality with fearful rapidity, being one-third more criminal in 1890 than he was in 1880. "In the South, Mississippi particularly, I know he is growing worse every year. You can scarcely pick up a newspaper whose pages are not blackened with an account of an unmentionable crime committed by a Negro brute, and this crime, I want to impress upon you, is but the manifestation of the Negro's aspiration for social equality, encouraged largely by the character of free education in vogue, which the state is levying tribute upon the white people to maintain. "It is your function to put a stop to the worse than wasting of $500,000 annually—money taken from the toiling white men and women of Mississippi and devoted to the main purpose of making something of the Negro which the great architect of the universe failed to provide for in the original plan of creation." All of which is a lie, a batch of lies. And yet that miserable, contemptible crank and liar, Vardaman, lives. This shows a great deal of self-control on the part of Mississippi Negroes. They allow that long-haired, abominable slanderer of their race to live, and even to be governor. They ought to make his life a misery. He is a liar, a slanderer, a moulting mountebank, an unreasonable, iconoclasts Negrophobist. It was this contemptible crank who wouldn't speak to Roosevelt, the greatest man of the age. He isn't fit to be constable of Skamokawa, let alone being governor of Mississippi, or any other state. He lies, every word he says on this subject, in the throat and teeth of him; and The New Age would like to slap his lying face for him—and would do so if it had the chance. Education is as good for the Negro as for anybody. Booker Washington and others have demonstrated that. The Negro people are human beings, and citizens; this long-haired Negrophobist would have them considered and treated as lower than cattle or dogs. Probably he has or wants to have a lot of half-breed children. Vardaman is a liar, a scoundrel, and an abominable thing, and we doubt not that if an honest, intelligent colored man or woman would face the dirty, lying brute he would run like the miserable cowardly rascal he is. Vardaman is a disgrace to Mississippi and to the United States. He ought to be beaten, bare-backed, out of Jackson, Miss., with a whip of scorpions. He ought to be hung in effigy—at least—in every capital in the United States. This is the only way to reply to such abominable brutes as Vardaman. The Negroes are in a majority in Mississippi. They behave themselves. But it is a wonder that they have so long endured the villifications of this damned monster. They prove their patience by not violently silencing him. County Commissioner Barues ought to be kept there. UNITED STATES SENATOR. Any one of the four men who so far as appears now will run for governor will be a good, capable man—Johns, Whythycombe, Geer and Chamberlain—though as to which one is the best many people have not yet decided. But as to United States senator there seems as yet no positive, strong current of opinion. Multnomah county claims and is entitled to this office, and its newspapers and other mountpieces might as well say so, and be done with it. Harvey W. Scott is head and shoulders above everybody else in capability and character—and this is saying nothing against other possible candidates—but Mr. Scott won't try for the office, doesn't want it, and probably couldn't get it if he should try. He is right; he is a bigger man, citizen and patriot, as editor-in-chief of the Oregonian, than he would be as United States senator. The state needs, then, a big, capable business man in that place; a man in the prime of life; one who knows and understands our business conditions and relations; and apparently no better such man is going to show up than Theodore B. Wilcox. He sizes up well in all respects, and if he should decide to become a candidate, we think there would be little opposition to him in this county. Judge Webster would like the senatorial toga, but he is not considered of quite sufficient caliber for that place. He has made, it is generally acknowledged, a good county judge, although while pocketing his salary he has been away for many weeks in the aggregate, on private, professional business, which a county judge here should not do. Mulkey's candidacy "is to laugh." Jonathan Bourne will keep running until he dies, but the people won't have him. Judge George, though we have not heard it intimated that he would be a candidate, would be a good and formidable one, if he should decide to "shy his castor into the ring." But perhaps he is satisfied with his present position, to which he will no doubt be re-elected. So at present it looks like Wilcox—if he will try for it. He will say so when he is ready, no doubt. THE COLORED PEOPLE If anything were needed in the way of argument or evidence to show that the colored citizen, male or female is entitled to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"—to recognition and esteem as human beings, rather than as cattle—it would be furnished forth by his, or her, audacity, temerity—the recognition of the right to live and do business in this country, or in any country. It was a colored man who tried to and nearly saved President McKinley's life. It was a colored man, who, this week, his clothes catching afire, stripped them off one by one, almost as coolly as a cucumber—and may live. But if he doesn't, we have no doubt that Saint Peter will give him the glad hand. It was colored men who, with courage spelling' martrydom, broke the teamsters' strike in Chicago last summer. It is colored men—and they only—who dare to defy the unions when they are wrong. They are among the best workers you've got, and you know it. They are mkaing their way, and have a right to do so. And the colored women—God bless them. He will. If we get to heaven, we will go right alongside of noble, helpful, dark-skinned women, who are just as good, true and righteous in nature, in character, in disposition and in deeds as Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett, Miss Grace Watts, or Mrs. Cleveland Rockwell dare to be. We know of Christmas and New Years and other times, charity and nobility on the part of many of these women that the board of charities never heard of, nor would recognize. We are a quiet, law-abiding people; generally we vote the Republican ticket—but we will do as we please. Ex-Governor Geer will undoubtedly get left. Who can beat Word? THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON. The Oregonian is to be commended and congratulated for its fight for cheaper and better gas. The people of this city have been treated outrageously in the matter of gas, both as to price and quality, and it is quite time a general and vigorous "kick" was made against present methods. Gas in this city ought not to cost over 75 cents, or at most 85 cents, per M, and people should not be overcharged for it either, as many entirely responsible and undoubtedly truthful people say they are. A housewife's gas bill one month will be say $2.50 and the next month, when she has used no more, perhaps not so much, it jumps to $5, $ cr $7. This has become simply intolerable, and must be remedied. Many people prefer gas to electricity for light; it is very handy to cook with; people want it and need it, as well as electricity; but they are entitled to have the best substance of this sort to be manufactured, and have it as cheaply as it is obtained in other cities. We hope the Oregonian will keep up its "lick" until we get better and cheaper gas. If we can't, people had better rely on electricity, or even go back to candles and peat. They ought unanimously to refuse to be swindled by the gas company any longer. If Judge Lowell would run for representative, he might be elected; the senator will be a Multnomah man. Watch The New Age for political news. Marion county can't get all the offices. Sigler did a good assessment job. Look out for Billy Bryan WANTS RESERVE OF 50,000 MEN Chaffee Proposes to Use Men Already Trained in Army. New York, Jan. 2.—Lieutenant General Adna R. Chaffee, chief of staff of the army, today expressed himself as in hearty accord with the provisions of the army bill evolved by the general staff, and now in the hands of the secretary of war. "Matters military in this country," said the general, "naturally mean the outlay of money, but I believe it will be worth all it costs to strengthen the military arm of the government by creating, as contemplated in the bill, a reserve of 50,000 men. By creating this force of the men who have served one term of three years and have been honorably discharged, we shall have the benefit of the instruction they have received, the proficiency they have attained in marksmanship and their regard for discipline. "It will be possible, with such a reserve, to put the army on a war footing with seasoned troops. The resevists would be enlisted for five years, during which they would be under pay and always subject to a call for service, but in time of peace permitted to follow the vocations of their choice." General Chaffee returns to Washington tomorrow. ANOTHER HOPE FOR MALHEUR. Senators Propose Irrigation, Excluding Wagon Road Lands. Washington, Jan. 2.—Senators Fulton and Gearin today called on the director of the geological survey to see if it be possible to revive the Malheur irrigation project, now practically dead. They hope the government will do something that will benefit settlers owning land in that vicinity and suggested that the original project might be reduced in size by eliminating the wagon road land and land included in the railroad right of way, which proved serious obstacles in the way of the first project. Director Wolcott promised to give immediate attention to this request, and in a few days will advise the senators whether or not it will be practicable to remodel the project as they have suggested. If such a plan is feasible, there is some hope that a modified Malheur project may ultimately be built. Want Open Debate on Treaty Washington, Jan. 2.—Democrats in congress want the policy of this government towards the republics of Central and South America to be discussed openly in both branches. Should the contention of some senators that the treaty with Santo Domingo is of such widespread importance that it should be made in the form of a joint resolution and submitted to both houses of congress, prevail, the debate, it is believed, will be protracted and bitter.

McAfee will move to Ninth and Davis streets next week. Mrs. Caroline White has gone to housekeeping at Eleventh and Kearn- ney streets. Miss Fannie Thomas is in Trisco visiting. It is rumored that she will soon be married. Mr. John Payne's mask ball was a success, both financially and socially. Do so soon again. The many friends of Mrs. Bettis will be pained to learn she is losing her eyesight and has to be led everywhere she goes. Where is Brother Charles Sykes' religion that he so forgot himself as to start a fight in a saloon on Sunday night? For shame. Kasper Vandran and Robert E. Brinstadt, clerk of the Oregon hotel, both committed suicide at the above-named hotel within the past week. Mrs. M. Moore, of Fourth and Madison streets, remains very ill. There are many who hope for a speedy recovery, but we fear our hopes are in vain. Miss Maud Lucas has returned from Spokane, Wash., where she spent the holidays. She was highly entertained while on her visit to Spokane. The Athenia club met at the residence of Mrs. H. LeRoy on Park street last Thursday evening. This club is trying to raise as much money as possible to go to the building fund of the Mount Ollivet Baptist church of this city. They should be encouraged in every particular. A club is being formed in this city of the saloonmen and they will occupy the building at 386 Everett street. It will be up to date in every particular. There will be billiard rooms, reclining rooms and sleeping rooms; also a parlor for the ladies, and a dancing room. More later. Watch meeting was held at the Zion church on Sunday night, December 31, by all the colored churches in our city having union services. Dr. Tolliver delivered the sermon of the evening and the choir rendered special music. A neat sum was taken up and divided equally between the ministers. The entertainment given by New Northwest Lodge, No. 844, G. W. O. of O. F. at Eagles' hall on Tuesday evening was well attended. The program, which was rendered by the Odd Fellows, was highly enjoyed by all. The brothers realized a good sum for the lodge. It is to be hoped at some future time they will repeat the same program. The Emancipation exercises were held at the Zion church, Thirteenth and Main streets, on January 1, at 8:30 p. m. Rabbi Steven S. Wise delivered the special address, which was scholarly and manly in every respect and was enjoyed by all present. It was regretted that Rev. Wise's address was not more lengthy. Mr. Ben Selling also made a few remarks and thanked the colored people for their contribution to the Jews' fund, which they are sending to help their brothers in the far-off country of Russia. A collection was taken and given to Rev. George Jackson. Mrs Anna Williams, beloved mother of Mrs. Lulu Easton, departed this life after an illness of two years on December 29 at the family residence on Seventh and Hall streets, at 10 o'clock p. m. Mrs. Williams was one of our pioneers, having lived here about 28 years, moving from Salem, Ore., to this place. Mrs. Easton is the only surviving relative. The Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth, with a large number of friends, followed the remains to the cemetery. The floral pieces were beautiful, the Household and Odd Fellows both sending pieces, also many friends. Mrs. Easton has the sympathy of a host of friends. TACOMA NOTES Mr. Jim Cruise, of Seattle, is visiting in the city. Mrs. P. A. Tanner is confined at her home with a broken leg. Miss Eliza Day, of Portland, was visiting in our city last week.

Gray, of Chicago, was expelled from the St. John's Grand Chapter, Order of Eastern Star for the state of Illinois. This is the same Mrs. Gray that was a short time ago suspended from the Daughters of Sphinx for misappropriation of funds of the order. Mr. John G. Jones, grand secretary of the St. John's Grand Lodge of A. F. & A. Masons of the state of Illinois, will leave Chicago for Pittsburg next week and will deliver an address to the colored Masons of the state of Pennsylvania on December 27, on the "Origin and Legal Status of Freemasonry Among Colored Men in the United States." A new Court of Daughters of Shipinx, which was named Evening Star Court, was organized in this city last Monday. Mrs. Lizzie L. Lewis was elected Most Worthy Grand Matron. The Court is composed of a large number of prominent colored women of Chicago. The work and the ceremonies were conducted by Mrs. J. H Johnson, a deputy of the Daughters of Shipinx of the state of Illinois. Your correspondent is now visiting the colored churches and Sunday schools in this city to see what progress they are making. Quinn Chapel, which is located on Twenty-fourth and Wabash avenue, was organized in 1847 and is the oldest colored church in Chicago. They have a membership of 1800; valuation of church property, $125,000. Rev. D. P. Roberts is the pastor of the church. The church owes about $25,000 on the debt of the church. Mr. Robert H. Harper, a colored man who is clerk in the postoffice of this city and Sergeant Major of the Colored Eighth Regiment of Illinois, was arrested for opening letters and stealing money out of them on last Monday, and as soon as he was arrested, like all other poor empty-headed mortals, confessed all that he had done and told the inspector that arrested him that he had been stealing ever since the second day after he went into the office. It is reported that he has stolen thousands and thousands of dollars. He pleaded guilty and was remanded to the Cook county jail to await action of the federal grand jury. The Butler Mission, of 224 West Forty-seventh street, is conducted by one William Gray. Your correspondent does not know, and after making inquiries was not able to find out what religious denomination this mission is connected with. It has a membership of about ten persons, including the aunts, sisters and brothers-in-law of William Gray and his wife. They hold services in the lower part of a house at 224 West Forty-seventh street. They own no property and we understand that a very wealthy white man in this city, named J. W. Butler, pays the rent of this place and the running of it, with the understanding that a kindergarten school should be conducted there for the benefit of the colored children of Chicago. From what we have been able to learn and see the kindergarten school is composed of three children, and it is the opinion of your correspondent that the money that Mr. J. W. Butler appropriates in that direction is of no benefit or use to the colored people of Chicago, and it is money and time wasted for no other purpose than to keep one or two indulgent individuals from working hard and making an honest living for themselves. The sooner Mr. Butler looks into the matter and stops contributions to that place the better off the colored people of Chicago will be. GERMANY PREPARES FOR WAR. Gives Rush Orders for Large Number of Cars. Berlin, Jan. 4.—The railway administration placed orders last week for 20,000 freight cars, at a cost of $50,000,000, with manufacturers of five countries, stipulating delivery by the middle of February. Besides utilizing the car works of Germany, the contracts were distributed among makers in Belgium, Holland, Switzerland and Italy, which would not have been done unless some reason for haste exists. Inquiries made regarding the reasons for urgency resulted in obtaining the statement that the ordering of the cas was a precautionary measure, the general staff desiring to be ready to move troops if necessary by the first of March. This is only a proper measure of prudence, it was arffimed, in view of the extensive military arrangements going on in France, which, among other dispositions, include the movement toward the German frontier of six regiments of artillery, or 180 guns.

THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON. WOES OF A STRANDED GIRL. farm, and all the neighbors' be caught the fever and I supp caught it from them. I was She Has a Hard Time Here, but Wanted a Friend Worse in England. "I've found a place at last," said the pretty English girl in the dove-colored gown, according to the New York Press, "but you can't think what it is. Walking on the stage. Just walking on and walking off without saying a single word. Imagine it. I, who in England played "Zaza" with great success, who was for a time with Irving, who have played leading woman again and again—walking on and off the stage without saying a word! "I am going to take it as a huge joke," she smiled lightly. "I am going to make the best of it. It is very hard for an English girl to make headway here in New York. Very hard. Many of my friends are without work. They can't even walk on and off." "Never mind," said the woman to whom she was talking, "you will walk on and off so gracefully that they will give you something else to do. I will wager that in less than a week they will let you open your mouth, in another week they will let you speak. What, if in a month they should let you speak a whole sentence? Wouldn't that be lovely?" The English girl smiled as she smoothed down the fingers of her long gray gloves. "I do play a little something on the plano," she said. "What greater opportunity would you have, then?" exclaimed the woman, for the girl was an exquisite pianist. "In a very little while they will let you play more." "I can't make my own selections," she sighed. "I have to play something that belongs to the play." "You can't tell me anything about the difficulty of breaking into a big foreign city and trying to help run it all at once," mused the woman, reminiscently. "I know all about it. I came here to New York once upon a time, not so very long ago, and did so well with my work that I said to myself: 'I will go to London and do better.' So I went down to the sea in a ship and eventually landed there. "Talk about trying to get a place on a stage in New York! Try getting something into a London newspaper or magazine for awhile. I was simply lost. There were a million newspapers and it seemed more than a million magazines, small, large and medium. The editors were polite, they accepted some of my stuff, but when they published it I couldn't find it. Each editor ran about seventeen magazines and it was the rule to publish work without the writer's name unless the name was of some consequence. "Fortunately, I had some money left from the sale of my little Kentucky home, or I would have starved. I got so disgusted I skipped to Paris and spent my money foolishly, having a good time. "But the stranded girls I heard of in London! Terrible. There was one across from me in an attic room in Russel square who killed herself—threw herself out the window on the spikes of an iron fence. She hadn't a son. I am not so very generous, but if I had known of it, I certainly would have divided up with her a little anyway. That's the trouble. You don't know of it until after they have made away with themselves. "And there were hundreds of them in those little old rooms up under the skylights in the American quarter. You know those rooms. One big room with a dozen paper partitions you can hear the sobs through. Awful little rooms," repeated the woman with a shudder. "Terrible condition of affairs. Young girls without money in that London whirlpool. Women without money. A thousand times while I was there I thanked my stars that I was not penniless, too. "There should be some provision made by the mother country for women and girls who invade foreign cities. A committee should be appointed to meet them at the docks and find places for them. I mean the pretty, charming, cultivated girls who find it difficult to get something to do. There is a demand for servants in all countries. There is less demand for brains, culture and refinement. "There is one man in London—Mr. Chamberlain—who is a committee and an eleemosynary institution rolled in one, so far as helping stranded American girls to get work or go home is concerned. He'll go straight to heaven when he dies for that if nothing else." ONE OF THE '49ERS. Old Fellow Tells of the Gold Seekers' Trials. James A. Wainwright, of Oakland, Cal., one of the original forty-nners, who fought their way to California during the great gold rush, was in St. Louis for a short time last week. Mr. Wainwright, who is nearly 80 years old, came here from Philadelphia, where he had been visiting a grandson. He was met here by a nephew, Frank Blair, of Chicago, and the two dined at the Planters and later departed together for Oakland. Mr. Wainwright is active and able to travel alone. He made the trip from Oakland to Philadelphia alone and returned as far as St. Louis, where his nephew met him. The two will finish the journey together. Mr. Wainwright grew reminiscent last night when he was seen in the lobby of the Planters. "I can tell you," he said, "it is far different traveling these days than it was fifty-six years ago. That is a long time ago and I am probably one of the few original forty-niners who has not crossed the great divide. I was living in Ohio when the gold rush came on. I was working on my father's farm, and all the neighbors' boys had caught the fever and I suppose I caught it from them. I was only 21 years old, but boys in those days seem to me to have been much older and larger than their years. "There were no railroads and the trip would have to be made by wagon. A large number of outfits were starting from St. Louis, and four of us boys came here. It was a far different city in those days, I can tell you, from what it is now. "Outfits were starting for the West every day and I joined one of them. It was a strenuous trip and we had many an experience. The Indians were cutting up high jinks and we almost had to fight our way across. In one of the Indian fights one of my companions who had started on the trip with me, was injured and died a few days later. We buried him on the plains, poor fellow, and searching for his grave now would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. "California was reached after months of hard work, and then the search for gold began. We were partly successful, but after a few months of prospecting and hard work I made up my mind that I could make my fortune sooner by going into business. I had made some money and with it I started a supply store near one of the big camps. A few weeks convinced me that I had adopted the better course. "Justice in those days was rapid and such a thing as a small technically bringing about a stay and a new trial was not to be thought of. As is always the case, a bad element was attracted by the gold fields and this element lived by robbing the more industrious workers. Robbery was punishable by death, and the guilty man was generally discovered and paid the penalty. "I remember one incident that was somewhat amusing and yet rather gruesome. A worthless chap by the name of Billings, located near our camp. He had a pretty wife and two children, but he was a brute pure and simple. He never did a bit of work and yet he seemed to have money enough to buy whisky, and then after getting drunk he would beat his wife. A committee of the reliable citizens of the camp took his case in hand one night and decided that it would be better if Billings was out of the way. He had been suspected of several jobs and was soon brought before the committee charged with the crime. His trial was short and he was sentenced to be hanged. "Just before the sentence was to be carried into effect one of the committee spoke about the wife and asked how she was to get along without some support. Another man said that the only thing to do was to get her another husband. Well, Billings was hanged and the camp was rid of a bad man. Two days later Mrs. Billings was married to a thrifty miner who had always had a liking for her, and everything was as good as could be. "Those things all happened many years ago," said Mr. Wainwright, in conclusion, "but they do not seem to be so far back to me."—St. Louis Republic. Our Greatest Arsenal During the Civil War Rock Island was called into unexpected service. At the very outbreak of hostilities the island suggested itself as a suitable place to care for the prisoners of war, and extensive barracks were constructed, with a hospital, officers' quarters and other necessary buildings. Over 20,000 confederate prisoners were confined there. Horace was indeed wise when he counseled to prepare for war in times of peace, but that advice was disregarded, and when, in 1898, war was declared with Spain, it found us unprepared, but the Rock Island Arsenal promptly responded to the call. The force of workmen was increased from 500 to nearly 3,000, and the necessary articles were poured out in like proportion. Even then it was 114 days before the soldiers could be made ready for action. Had Spain been in a position to take advantage of the delay, our victory might have been less decisive. It is not the object of the arsenal to encourage war, but to prepare for it when it becomes inevitable; in the words of Washington: "To be prepared for war is the most effectual means of preserving peace." "Four-Track News. Ocean Angling. Every day through the spring and summer and autumn, and almost every day in winter, a boat leaves one of the East River piers bound for the deepsea fishing banks. Every passenger on board is of that true democracy, the democracy of the rod and reel. Not death itself is more of a common leveler than the fishing rod, and who crosses the gang plank of this fishing steamboat leaves class distinction behind. The professional man fleeing business for a day, the clerk with a holiday on his hands, the mechanic thrown into idleness by a strike, the invalid who finds the city irksome and longs for a sniff of the sea, old men, young boys and all ages and stages of mankind between, may be seen in the stream of people that dribbles along the pler while the sun is yet dodging behind the Brooklyn houseets. The man who would go deep sea fishing must be up betimes, for it is a good three hours' run to the fishing banks. —Four-Track News.

As there are no cozy corners in a wigwam, it is the Sauteaux custom for a malden to converse with her suit or under cover of a blanket, which screens the young lovers from the gaze of the other occupants of the lodge. But old Noo-koom, The Knowing One, was well able to judge from the general contour of the blanket just how the courtship was progressing. Early in the evening the blanket always hung in a dignified way, as though draped over two posts set a little apart. However, the posts often lost their balance and swayed about in such a manner as to come dangerously near collision; and, if Noo-koom did not cough or poke the fire, the blanket would sometimes show that one support had given way. One night, when Noo-koom woke up from a nap, she found that both the supports of the blanket were in immediate danger of collapsing. Seizing the hindquarters of a frozen fox by the ankles, she leaped up and belabored the blanket so severely that it lost no time in recovering its proper form. In a few days Noo-koom became convinced that the lovers had "sat under the blanket"—or been engaged—long enough. Now they must "sit together upon the brush"—or be married. Accordingly, she talked the matter over with Standing Wolf and his wife, Ko-ko-kay. They agreed with the old woman. Ko-ko-kay called Mina-ce in and told her that At-tick was a good boy, that he would certainly make a good hunter, and that, if she would "sit upon the brush with him," they would give her plenty of marrow grease for her hair and some porcupine quils for her moccasins. They might even buy her some ribbon, beads and silk thread for fancy work. Furthermore, her father would help At-tick to secure enough moose skins to make a lodge covering. Mina-ce chewed meditatively upon the large piece of spruce gum in her mouth while she listened with averted eyes and drooping head. Noo-koom, supposing the child to be in doubt, interposed. "You must sit upon the brush with him, because I have promised that you would. Did we not eat the fat and the blood, and use the firewood he left at our door?" The remembrance of all that dainty eating decided the child, and she gave her word that she would sit upon the brush with At-tick, if they would promise to buy her a bottle of perfume when the "fur runners" came from Fort Determination. — Metropolitan Magazine. THE FAMILY DOCTOR Carelessness in Handling Medicines. —Patients have frequently placed a bottle of medicine to their lips and taken a draught of its contents in a dark room, under the impression that there was "only one bottle upon that shelf," when in reality some other member of the family had placed other bottles there. In other instances a wife rising in the night to give some medicine to her husband or child has picked up the wrong bottle in the dim light and administered a fatal dose. Pneumonia.—The prevalence with which this most deadly virulent bacterial disease shall attain, will depend chiefly upon the kind of care people take of themselves. Those who strive to keep in good general health need have little fear of it. Drunkenness is foremost among the habits of mankind that aid in the propagation of pneumonia. Over-eating is another form of intemperance which makes people fall its easy victims. Failure to bathe frequently and breathing through the mouth increases the liability of contracting the disease. Overheated houses are the cause of many cases. If the rule were generally adopted of never letting the temperature of the house or office exceed 70 degrees much less pneumonia would result. Smallpox.—This loathsome disease often makes its appearance with cold weather. The following is said to be a cure: One grain solid extract of digitalis, one grain sulphate of zinc, one-half teaspoonful of sugar, four ounces of water. Dissolve the digitalis and the zinc separately, then compound the prescription. It is of the utmost importance that the solid extract of digitalis be used. Some drugists say there is no such thing and use the liquid, but this is valueless. The liquid does not produce the results. The dose is one teaspoonful every hour for twelve consecutive hours, for adults; for a child under ten one-half teaspoonful hourly for twelve hours and for an infant ten drops every hour for the twelve hours. The face may be bathed with it thus preventing scars. The digitalis kills the germ of the disease and the zinc purifies the blood. The preparation must be taken with care, as it is very powerful.

LEADING HOTELS FIRST-CLASS FIREPROOF $3.00 PER DAY FIRST-CLASS FIREPROOF $3.00 PER DAY Conquest of the Great American Desert Conquest of the Great American Desert The development of irrigation brings with it a multitude of problems which increase in variety and importance as the land becomes settled and the capacity of the water supply taxed to a greater extent. Many of these problems lie at the very heart of practical irrigation. The relations between farmers under irrigation are far closer and more intimate than under the conditions of farming in the east, and the community of interest is necessarily much more in evidence. One man may ruin his neighbor's land by improper management of his water, and the continued waste of water prevents the bringing of new areas under cultivation and thus restricts settlement. Dr. Mead's report (recently issued) calls special attention to the increasing cost of water, which the farmer must have whether the cost is great or small. During the past five years this cost has risen enormously in nearly every western State. Certain water rights in Colorado, for example, which were originally purchased for $5 an acre now sell for $35. Where formerly 50 cents an acre foot for water would have been regarded as a prohibitive price, farmers last year paid $7 an acre foot. Fully $20,000,000 was paid by irrigators last year for the water they used. In many cases, from lack of knowledge how to use the water economically, they wasted and misapplied enormous quantities, thereby injuring their crops and their land and incidentally that of their neighbors through seepage. During the investigations of the past few years many instances of overirrigation have come under observation. With the restricted supply in many localities, the wasteful or unskillful use of water by one farmer often means that the crops of some other farmer must suffer because of it or that land must remain uncultivated. The area farmed, the yield of crops and the continued productiveness of the soil all depend on knowing how to use water aright and on the establishment of laws and regulations to compel this when men know and refuse to heed.—Denver Field and Farm. COUNT TOLSTOI Count Tolstol, the noted Russian, is quite optimistic. He says it is necessary to get rid of the present government. The people are tired of a rule which has hitherto rested upon force and wish it supplanted by one supported by love, good will and Christian acts. Count Tolstol, a Russian novelist, social reformer and religious mystic, was born in 1828. He was educated at the University of Kazan and served in the Army of the Caucasus and in the Crimean war, being appoint- COUNT TOLSTOL. ed Division Commander in May, 1855. He was in the battles of Tchernaya and Sebastopol. He retired at the end of the campaign. After the liberation of the serfs he lived on his estates, working with and relieving the peasants and also devoting himself to study. He is the author of a number of books, chiefly novels, that made him famous as a writer. Making a Bluff.

But, you say—"I'll take a course of Spring medicine to clean me out next April." Not considering your duty to yourself and family, isn't it certain that to leave the body full of poison all winter, and then suddenly attempt to force out all impurities by one violent attack is dangerous, absurd and unreasonable? * * * Keep clean inside all the time. That's the simple solution. If you can not diet, or keep your mechanism going by proper exercise, the self-evident alternative is to take Cascarets, the sweet, fragrant, harmless little vegetable tablets, that "act like exercise" on your bowels, and gently but powerfully clean out and disinfect the whole digestive canal. A Cascaret every night before going to bed will "work while you sleep" and make you "feel fine in the morning."

PORTLAND. OREGON CHRONOLOGY OF 1905. BRIEF RECORD OF YEAR'S PRINCIPAL EVENTS. Internal Disturbances in Russia and Independence in Norway-Close of the War in the East-Many Great Names in List of Dead. Most significant of the events of 1905, because it indicates unmistakably the inexorable advance of mankind toward high ideals of liberty, justice and perfect civilization, is the political and economic upheaval now taking place in Russia. Wearying under a load of taxation, rendered well-nigh unbearable by added burdens imposed by the prosecution of a disastrous war, the peasantry and common people started a revolt against the tyrannical aristocracy, and have been able to force from their unwilling ruler many concessions tending toward a free citizenship. Massacre and rapine, in which the Jews were the chief sufferers, are part of the price paid for the advantage gained. Another impressive proof of civilization's advance is the bloodless revolution by which Norway has dissolved its political connection with Sweden and seated a king upon its long unused throne. The recent exposures of graft and fraud in high financial circles and last summer's labor troubles in Chicago are only incidents of the constant conflict being waged for the establishment of justice and fair treatment between man and man. The Russo-Japanese war, after a brilliant series of land campaigns, during which one after another of the strongholds of the Russians in Manchuria fell into the hands of their opponents, and a decisive battle on the Sea of Japan, that is said to have been one of the greatest naval contests of all history, has been brought to a close, and largely, we believe, by American influence. The completion of the great Simplon tunnel was the accomplishment of another great engineering feat, and the Lewis and Clark Exposition in Portland, Ore., presented to the world a record of achievement in all lines. Great disasters have been fewer than usual, though tornadoes in Oklahoma and Kansas destroyed more than five hundred lives, and earthquakes, fire and railway wrecks have done their dread work.

CATARRH ANNOYING DANGEROUS Catarrh is usually regarded as nothing more serious than a bad cold or slight inflammation of the inner skin and tissues of the head and throat, when it is, in fact, not only a vexation and troublesome disease, but a complicated and dangerous one. It is true that Catarrh usually begins with a cold in the head, but when the poisons, which are thrown off through the secretions, find their way into the blood, it becomes a constitutional trouble that affects all parts of the body. It has more annoying and disgusting symptoms than any other disease. There is a sickening and offensive discharge from the nostrils, a constant buzzing noise in the ears, headaches and pains in the eyes are frequent, while filthy, tenacious matter drops back into the throat requiring continual hawking and spitting, and in certain stages of the disease the breath has an odor that is very offensive. Catarrh is worse in Winter, because the cold weather closes the pores and glands, and the poisons and unhealthy vapors which should pass off that way are thrown back on the tender linings and tissues, causing the inflammation which starts Bladder and other members of the body, while the general health is weakened, appetite lost and the patient feels despondent and half sick all the time. But worst of all, if the trouble is not checked the lungs become diseased from the constant passage of poisoned blood through them, and Catarrh terminates in Consumption, the most fatal of all diseases. You cannot get rid of Catarrh by treating it with sprays, washes, inhalations, etc., because they only reach the membranes and tissues, while the real cause of the trouble is in the blood. These relieve the annoying symptoms for a time, but the poison is all the while getting a stronger hold on the system and when they are left off will manifest itself in worse form than before. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood purifiers, and when it has cleansed the blood, this pure, rich stream circulates through the body, carrying healthful properties to the diseased parts.

Everybody knows that of late years natural forces have been wonderfully subjected to man's need. We are dazzled by the spectacular achievements in steam and electricity, but are likely to forget the less noisy but no less marvelous conquest of animal and plant life. Horses are swifer, cattle heavier, cows give more milk and sheep have finer fleeces than in days gone by. In plants the transformation is even more marked. People now living can remember when the number of edible fruits and vegetables was far less than at present and even those that could be grown were vastly inferior to what we now have. For example, our parents knew nothing of the tomato, except as a curious ornament in the garden. Sweet corn was hardly better than the commonest field sorts. All oranges had seeds. Celery was little known and poor in quality. In the flower bed the magnificent pansy has replaced the insignificant heart's ease from which it was developed, and the sweet pea in all its dainty splendor traces its origin to the common garden vegetable. This progress has been made in spite of the great tendency manifested in all plants and animals to go back to the original type. It is indeed a battle to keep strains pure and up to the standard they have already attained, let alone any improvement. The practical results are accomplished by men operating largely for love of the work, like Luther Burbank, in California, and Eckford in England, as well as by the great seed merchants, D. M. Ferry & Co., of Detroit, Mich., who are not only eternally vigilant to hold what ground has been gained, but have a corps of trained specialists, backed by ample means, to conduct new experiments. The results of their experiences can be found in their 1906 Seed Annual, which they will send tree to all applicants. The largest flour mill in the British empire is in Montreal. It turns out 5,000 barrels of flour a day. Catarrh is usually regarded as no slight inflammation of the inner skin when it is, in fact, not only a vexation plicated and dangerous one.

"I trust, Miss Cutting," remarked young Borem, as he rose to depart after a prolonged stay, "that I have not taken up too much of your valuable time."

When things began to go too "fast and loose" in New York, the people rose up in their wrath, got together and elected a district attorney who makes life miserable for wrongdoers.
