MORRISON ST. UNITED STATES DEPOSITORY OF SINCE 1850 ten Important Points of President's Communication to Congress The main points brought out by the president in his annual message to congress, delivered December 4, follow: I again recommend a law prohibiting all corporations from contributing to the campaign expenses of any party. Such a bill has already passed one house of congress. Let individuals own corporations, but let them effectively fashion all corporations from making contributions for any political purpose, directly or indirectly. Another bill which has just passed one house of congress and which it is urged to pass, that conferring upon the government the right of appeal in criminal cases on questions of law. This right exists in many of the states; it exists in the District of Columbia by act of the Congress that in any case a verdict for the defendant on the merits should be set aside. A failure to pass it will result in seriously hampering the government against weak individuals or corporations who do wrong; and may also prevent the government from obtaining justice for wage-workers who are not themselves able effectively to contest a case where the argument of an inferior court is stronger. In connection with this matter I would like to call attention to the very unsatisfactory state of our criminal law, resulting in large part from the habit of setting aside the judgments of inferior courts on technical matters solutely unconnected to the merits of the case, and where there is no attempt to show that there has been any failure of substantial justice. In my last message I suggested the enactment of a law in connection with the issuance of injunctions in the attempt to deter the maltreatment by the demand that the right of applying injunctions in labor cases should be wholly abolished, doubtful whether the law will uphold altogether injunctions in such cases would stand the test of the courts; in which case of course the legislation would be ineffective. Moreover, I believe it is the case of injunctions. But so far as possible the abuse of the power should be provided against by some such law as I advocated last year. And when what it feeds upon; and when mobs begin to lynch for rape they speedily extend the sphere of their operations and lynch for many other crimes are not for rape at all; while a considerable proportion of the individuals lynched are innocent of all crime. In my judgment, the crime of rape should be made a crime with murder; assault with intent to commit rape should be made a capital crime, at least in the discretion of the court; and provision should be made that the trial should follow immediately upon the heels of the offense; while the trial should be so conducted that the victim need not be wanted solely while giving testimony, and that the least possible public shall be given the I call your attention to the need of passing the bill limiting the number of hours of employment to 8 a day, as is very moderate one and I can conceive of no serious objection to it. Indeed, so far as it is in our power, it should be our aim steadily increase with as goal the general introduction of an eight-hour day. The horrors incident to the employees of your company or at work anywhere are a blot on our civilization. It is true that each state must ultimately settle the question in its own way, but through our efforts the unions published broadcast, would greatly help toward arousing the public conscience and securing unity of state action in the matter. Congress passed at the last session was an employer's liability law. It was a marked step in advance to get the recognition employers took, looks like the law did not go far enough. In spite of all precautions exercised by employers there are unavoidable accidents and even injuries that the business connected with the mechanic arts. If the entire trade risk is placed upon the employer he will promptly and properly add it to the law. It should place this responsibility appropriately upon the consumers of his commodity. It is therefore clear to my mind that the law should place this responsibility on the federal law nor, as far as I am informed, the state laws dealing with the question of employers' liability are sufficiently thoroughgiven. The federal employees in navyards, arsenals and the like. It is not wise that the nation should alienate its remaining coal lands. I have temporarily drawn a sketch of the geological survey has indicated as containing, or in all probability containing coal. The question, however, which my judgment should provide for the withdrawal of these lands from sale or fromentry, save in certain especial circumstances. In the United States, which should not, however, attempt to work them, but permit them to be worked by private individuals under a royalty or as permit it to see that no excessive price was charged consumers. It would, of course, be as necessary to supervise the rates charged by the coal companies, induct as the rates charged by those who mine it; and the supervision must extend to the conduct of the common carriers, so that they may be charged the expense of another. The withdrawal of these coal lands would constitute a policy analogous to that which has been followed with withdrawal of the coal lands in the management. The coal, like the forests, should be treated as the property of the public, and its disposal should be under conditions in order to ensure to the benefit of the public as a whole. must be left primarily to the several states. effort is to give the governmental assistance in the most effective way; that is, through as many farmers rather than to or through individual farmers, to ordinate its work with the agricultural departments of the several states, and so far as its own work is educational, to co-ordinate it with other educational authorities. Great progress has been made in the farmers by the creation of farmers' institutes, of dairy associations, of breeder's associations, horticultural associations and the like. The department can and will co-operate with all the mountains and the great plains through the mountains and the main areas of irrigation and forest preservation; no government policy for the betterment of our internal conditions has been more fruitful of the mountains and the Southern Appalachian regions should also be preserved; and they can not be unless the people of the states in which they lie, through their representatives in the country, are vigorous action by the national government. I am well aware of how difficult it is to pass a constitutional amendment. Nevertheless, I judge the judgment the national government marriage and marriage should be relegated to the authority of the national congress. At present the wide differences in the laws of the dals and abuses; and surely there is nothing so vitally essential to the welfare of the nation, nothing around which the nation should so closely be concerned, how ever the home life of the average citizen. The change would be good from every standpoint. In pari fect, the power of the congress to confer on the congress the power at once to deal radically and efficiently with polygamy, would be done whether or not marriage and divorce be safe nor proper to leave the question of polygamy to be dealt with by the several states. It would also be conferred on the national government. Let me once again call the attention of the congress to two subjects concerning which I have frequently before communicated with the American shipping. I trust that a law embodying in substance the views, or a major part of the views, expressed in the report on this subject laid before the house at its last session of Congress, will be adopted. Former years objectionable measures have been proposed in reference to the encouragement of American shipping; but it seems to me that the proposed measure is as nearly unobjectionable as the current one. I especially call your attention to the second subject, the condition of our currency laws. The national bank act has ably served the purpose of holding the country in better management of the country, and within ten years there has been an increase in circulation per capita from $21.41 to $33.08. For several years evidence has been accumulating that legislation effectively limits the currency of each crop season emphasizes the defences of the present laws. New Age Alaska's needs have been partially met, but there must be a complete reorganization of the governmental system as well as the governmental system as you expect attention to take. Our fellow citizens who dwell on the shores of Puget sound with characteristic energy are arranging to坐落在 Alaska's oceanic exposition, on the Pacific ocean, to exhibit, only to the people of the Pacific slope, but to the people of the United States at large. Alaska since it was bought has yielded to the government in the form of nearly $300,000,000 in gold, furs and fish. When properly developed it will become in large degree a land of homes. The country has numerous numbers than that of all the countries of Europe; their annual foreign commerce amounts to nearly $100,000,000. If there are more numbers than that of all the countries of Europe; their annual foreign commerce amounts to nearly $100,000,000. If this trade were thoroughly understood and pushed by our manufacturers and producers, the industry not only will be able to all of the countries of our cotton-growing states, would be greatly benefited. Of course, in order to get these benefits, we must treat fairly the countries Especially do we need to remember our duty to the stranger within our gates. It is the sure mark of a student who is abhorred or discriminate against or in any way humiliate such stranger who has come here lawfully and who is conducting himself properly. To remember this is incumbrant to the student and there assumed toward the course peculiarly incumbent on every government official, whether of the nation or of the several states. I am prompted to say this by the attitude of militantism there and assumed toward the Japanese in this country. This hostility is sporadic and is limited to a very few places. Nevertheless, it is most discreditable to us as a student of Japanese history and gravest consequences to the nation. To no other country has there been such an increasing number of visitors from this land to be treated as a foreign student in great numbers. They are welcome, socially and intellectually, in all our colleges and institutions of higher learning, in all our professions of higher education. The mass of our people cherish a lively regard and respect for the people of Japan, and in almost every quarter of the union the stranger he is treated as the stranger from any part of civilized Europe is and deserves to be treated. But here and there is most unfortunate the feeling that has been shown in shutting them out from the common schools in San Francisco, and in muttering against their efficiency as workers. To shut them out from the public schools is a wicked absurdity, when there are no first-class colleges in the University of California, which do not gladly welcome Japanese students and on which Japanese students are treated in the Japanese as I would ask for a fair treatment for Germans or Englishism, Frenchmen, Russians, or Italians. I ask it as due to humanity and civilization. I ask it as due to because we must act upright toward all men. Last August an insurrection broke out in Cuba, and the government was powerless to existing. Cuban government was powerless to rebuild. The United States wishes nothing of Cuba except that it shall possess morally and manfully its rights, and nothing that they shall be able to preserve order among themselves and therefore to preserve their independence. If the elections become a reality, the United States will be confirmed in the island, it is absolutely out of the question that the island should continue independent; and the United States should continue independent. For the civilized world for Cuba's career as a nation, would again have to intervene and to see that the government was managed in such a manner as to secure the safety of life and property. In many parts of South America there has been much misunderstanding of the attitude and purposes of the United States toward the other American states, that our assention of the Monroe doctrine impelled or careled with it an assumption of superiority and of a right to exercise some kind of protectorate over the countries of the world. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Yet that impression continued to be a serious barrier to good understanding, to friendly intercourse, to the introduction of American capital and the extension of American territory, that apparently it could not be reached by any ordinary means. It was part of Secretary Root's mission to dispel this unfounded impression, and there she was. "I have just returned from a trip to Panama and shall report to you at length later on." the whole subject of the Panama canal, demands for seals by pelagic sealing still continues. The regulations have proved plainly inadequate to accomplish the object of protection and preservation of this government has been trying in vain to secure from Great Britain such revision and modification of the regulations as were considered for by the award of the Tribunal of Paris. The process of destruction has been accelerated during recent years by the appearance of new seals by the inadequate limitations paid no attention either to the close season or to the sixty-mile limit imposed upon the Canadians, and have prosecuted their work up to the very islands themselves. It efforts to secure an agreement with Great Britain for adequate protection of the seal herd, and negotiations with Japan for the same purpose are in case we are compelled to abandon the hope of making arrangements with other governmental bodies which will now incident to pelagic sealing, it will be a question for your serious consideration how far we should continue to protect and maintain our seals, and whether it continuing such a practice, and whether it is not better to end the practice by exterminating the herd ourselves in the most humane manner. The United States navy is the surest guardian of peace which this country possesses, is capable of protecting, and the teachings of history in this matter. A strong and wise people will study its own failures no less than its triumphs, for there is wisdom to be learned from the study both, of the mistake as well as of the success. I do not ask that we continue to increase our navy. I ask merely that it be maintained in the same way as it was only if we replace the obsolete and outworn ships by new and good ones, the equals of any afloat in any navy. To ston building ships for one year means the use of a new battleship forward of the old battleship Texas, for instance, would now be of little service in a stand-up fight with a powerful adversary: ry. The old double-turret monitor is a useful useful device if it was a waste of money to build the modern single-turret monitors. All these ships should be replaced by others; and this can be done by a well-settled program of providing for the battlefield of at least one first-class battleship equal in size and speed to any that any nation is at the same time building. Another small revolution has broken out in Ecuador. There will be not tariff revision this session of congress. Dr. Lapponi, physician to the pope, has cancer of the stomach. The Harriman system has decided to build its own refrigerator cars. Great Britain will give France and Spain a free hand to pacify Morocco. Christmas gifts sent to United States soldiers in Cuba will not be subject to duty. The Wells, Fargo Express company will advance the wages of its employees within the next 30 days. A house committee is considering a bill which provides for a rate of 2 cents per mile on all railways of the United States. Russia and Japan are building up their forces and another war is likely when one or both recover from the effects of the recent struggle. The Interstate Commerce commission will this month commence an investigation of the Harriman lines., the board believing the laws have been broken. Senator Cullom wants an amendment to the constitution providing for a six-year term for the president and vice president and that they shall not be eligible for re-election. NO. 33.. THE REASON WHY Bourne Should Not Be Elected U. S. Senator The New Age has said before and it now says again that it does not believe that the next legislature will elect J; Bourse, Jr., to the United States senate. It has been said that our opposition to Mr. Bourne is inspired by prejudice, and that we can give no good reason for opposing him since he was regularly named by the republican voters for the office. We opposed Mr. Bourne during the primaries for the reason that we knew him to be unfit for the high office to which he aspired. First—That he is not a loyal and consistent republican. Second—That he is a traitor and political black-leg. Third—That he could not be depended upon to support Roosevelt. If he had been a loyal and consistent republican he would not have deserted his party in the hour of its dire distress, when the blight of Bryanism and populism overshadowed the country in 1906. But as a true and loyal republican would have put self aside and rendered whatever service he could for his party and his republican friends. If Bourne's will had prevailed and Bryan had been elected who can say that there would have been today a strong, invincible republican party in Oregon to honor him for his perfidy. The legislative session of 1895 was the most spectacular in the history of Oregon and the King Pin of that session was J. Bourne Jr., whose malodorous record is even yet a stench in the nostrils of decent people. With a goodly supply of money and other corrupting influences the trick of thwarting the will of the people and debauching the honor of the citizenry was the special mission of this political montebank, who, now, ten short years afterward, has the brazen affrontery to seek this high and honorable position at the hands of the party, whose murder he conspired to bring about. In the light of the past record of Mr. Bourne, who is so unsuspecting as to trust him in the future? Does anyone who knows him, save his hired henchmen, think for a minute that he can be depended upon to stand up for republican principles and policies in the United States senate, and to uphold the hands of life-long, true and tried republican leaders in that body, and to "stand pat" with the party's matchless leader, mose profound stateman, patriot and humanitarian since the days of Lincoln—Theodore Roosevelt. How wud yu lik tu be the tiperiter gurl? No; gentle reader, the present Duke of Mariborough is not the original Blenheim pup. The men who have organized a rhinoceros trust will at least never be accused of being thin-skinned. “Are there men as brave to-day as were the Spartans?” asks an essayist. Certainly; there are baseball umpires. When a married man has occasion to talk in his sleep he always says things that his wife is unable to understand. Thomas W. Lawson is going to write a novel. It is the only way in which he can bring about the adequate punishment of the villain. The men who claim to be able to fly when they want to should not overlook a solution of the problem of how to light when they want to. The English language has endured for a good many years, and, despite the efforts of reformers, may be expected to be good for a spell longer. No doubt, when he has time to think of it, President Roosevelt will order the names of the naval vessels, navy yards and forts to be simplifiedly spelled. A Wilkesbarre (Pa.) cat that died the other day had a half interest in a fortune of $40,000. The heels will have to wait, however, until it dies eight times more. An antiquary has just discovered that William Cullen Bryant once wrote a poem extolling the mosquito as "that fair insect." Evidently, William never wore peekaboo vests. Mr. Rockefeller has been assured by a theosophist that he will wear a crown. But Mr. Rockefeller is not credulous enough to stand before a mirror trying to imagine how he would look in a crown. When a man goes to the penitentiary to serve out an "indeterminate" sentence on sixteen charges of burglary and is released at the end of a year, is it any wonder he resumes the practice of his profession? Two divers descended to a depth of two hundred and ten feet in a Scotch lake the other day. This is said to be the greatest depth to which divers ever descended in the British Isles. It is farther than most people would care to go beneath the surface of the water. It is Spanish gossip that when Princess, afterward Queen, Victoria complained to her uncle, King Edward, that some ladies of the court in Madrid objected because she proposed to entertain English friends who were not of the royal family, her uncle advised her to "be a sensible girl," and said, "Do not make enemies. Respect people's stupidity when necessary. In time, if you are wise, you will have everything your own way." Whether the King ever said this or not, it is pretty good advice for every one. The man with the figures tells us that in fifty years this country will have 200,000,000 population, and he wants to know what will happen. As we will not be here we are determined not to worry about it. Our ancestors not only killed but ate each other. Possibly in the remote future the old custom will become fashionable. We recall that in early life we met up with one or two people we thought plenty sweet enough to eat. The fact that this hereditary appetite now lies dormant is no sign that it will not break out again at some future time and become quite popular. If any man wishes to immortalize himself let him invent some way to punish wife desertion. This crime has increased in Chicago 100 per cent in three years and Cook County, Illinois, is now supporting 1,000 deserted families. To bring the faithless husbands back, prosecute and punish them would cost just as much as it does to support their families, and it is impossible to prove desertion after they are brought back. They all pretend to have gone off to get employment and to have been unfortunate, and to rebut their stories would cost another pile of money. What is needed is some genius who will invent some cheap way to punish cheap husbands. In reply to the oft-repeated assertion that no girl should begin teaching unless she is to make it a lifelong profession it is sufficient to say that no young woman, however fancy free she may be, is able to say with certainty that she will continue so. However great may be her devotion to the general cause of learning at a given time, before the moon waxes again that broad affection may be particularized and focused upon one weak and unworthy member of the human tribe, and this is a phenomenon against which no human power has yet been found to avail. The best school teacher is the girl who has most of the domestic instinct and is most likely to leave the pedagogic calling and find her natural and proper place as the arbiter of her own home. It is pleasant to find the ory agreeing with good sense, and the test of good sense is its agreement with the fixed and universal laws of mother nature. The idea that the woman school teacher is an emotionless species of humanity is just about as senseless as it is ungallant. There are many indications that the common notion of the farmer must be entirely abandoned. The long whiskered individual who says "by heck," has hayseed in his hair, is interested in gold bricks, and is ready to consider favorable propositions for the transfer of title in the Masonic Temple in Chicago, is a passing type. The last few years have revolutionized life on the farm. No one can estimate how much has been accomplished by the rural free delivery system in changing the situation, but it is the common thing now for the farmer to receive his daily paper and to spend the evening looking over the news as brought to him by the metropolitan sheet from the city perhaps half a thousand miles away. The almanac which once hung in the kitchen, supplementing the Bible and completing the home library, now has to share with the standard magazines, the daily and weekly papers, and the books received from the traveling libraries sent out in several States. The better information makes the farmer less a stranger to the activities of the day. The trolley car possibly passes close by his house. The telephone connects him with his neighbor and with the stores of the village to which he used to resort for news and for supplies. The improved machinery has steadily reduced the tollsomeness of his task. All these forces combined have worked toward his transformation. The farmer of yesterday is not the farmer of to-day. There has always been recognition of the importance of the farming class in the prosperity of the country. The abundant crops and contentment of the rural class have been associated with the health and happiness of the nation. But there has always been, too, a tendency to depreciate the farmer as an individual, and to make him the butt of ridicule. This condition has greatly changed because of the reasons already indicated. When farmers meet in national congress and discuss such live questions as those of postal savings banks, the election of postmasters, the adoption of the parcels post system, the relief of farm labor scarcity by immigration, centralization of schools, centralization of farms, business methods in farming, it is evident that they are alert. Their minds have been prepared for such discussions by wide reading and intelligent thought, and they are ready to reach conclusions of value. The city man reads his daily paper hastily. He learns to form judgments quickly. He trains himself to reach decisions sometimes without that careful reading and thoughtful study which the man of leisure gives to a subject. It is by no means certain, however, that his judgments and decisions necessarily are better than those of the farmer, who reads with more deliberation and thinks more slowly because his life is less affected by the noise and rush. The modern farmer is worth appreciation. He is anything but the being of caricature. CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR. Norway Is the Least Intemperate of All the Nations. Americans are only moderate drinkers compared with those of other countries. The average citizen of the United States, counting in the women and children (which is not fair, but serves for the moment as a basis to figure upon), consumes in the course of a year liquors which contain one and a third gallons of pure alcohol. But the Frenchman, who, though formerly one of the soberest, has become the worst drunkard in the world, absorbs annually three and a half gallons of alcohol. The Belgian and the Swiss come next, with a consumption of two and four-fifths gallons. Then follow the Spanish with two and a third gallons, the Italian with just a trifle less, the Englishman and German with two and a tenth, and the Austro-Hungarian with about one and three-quarters gallons. On the other hand, the American citizen by no means stands at the top of the list in respect to sobriety. The Swede drinks only one and a sixth gallons of pure alcohol in a year; the Hollander drops considerably below him, with one gallon even; the relatively virtuous Russian, notwithstanding his much advertised addiction to vodka, absorbs only a trifle more than six-tenths of a gallon, and, finally, the Norwegian, who occupies a proud eminence as the most abstemious man in the world, barely exceeds a modest half gallon of the stuff in a twelvemonth's potations. It might be added for the sake of definiteness that the average person in the United States annually drinks one and a third gallons of proof spirits (which are 50 per cent alcohol), one-third of a gallon of wine and sixteen and a quarter gallons of malt liquors, chiefly beer.—Pearson's Magazine. Just Too Lovely. Kilder—The best illustrated paper I've seen in a long while was handed me to day. Jenks—What was it? Jenks- What was it? Kidder-A $50 note.-Philladelphia Ledger. When a girl is called to the telephone she answers as if expecting an invitation, but when the mother is called she wonders in taking down the receiver what company is coming now. When a man has the hot foot it is mighty easy for him to find an excuse to move. THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON JAMESTOWN, N. D. H. HENDERS Real Estate OSCAR J.

Status of Churches in Germany. The official order book of church membership in Germany, issued by Pastor Schneider of Elberfeld, as translated and reviewed by the Literary Digest, shows that the number of conversions from the Roman Catholic church to the Protestant is considerably greater than those who have gone from the Protestant ranks into the Roman faith. According to this authority, 75,978 members of the Catholic church in Germany became Protestants between 1800 and 1894, while only 1,054 went from Protestantism to Catholicism. The order book draws attention to the fact that not only in the empire as a whole, but in each and every State the Protestants have been making the greater gains. Relatively these are much greater in France than elsewhere. Vaccination for Germ Diseases. Vaccination for Germ Diseases. Sir Almeroth E. Wright, the noted London physician, who is credited with the discovery of the osopic index, which indicates the power of the blood to destroy diseased germs, is now visiting in this country, and recently delivered an address at the Philadelphia College of Physicians. He said he had reached the conclusion, after much experimentation, that bacteriological inoculation is the best means to fight any disease that owes its inception to germs, not excepting even tuberculosis. The general plan of treatment is the same with that as with other diseases. After the osopic test on the patient's blood the vaccine is introduced into the body until the blood is sufficiently strengthened to throw off its impurities. Morgan's $25,000 Bible. The famous illuminated parchment Bible, produced by the Cluny monks in France over 200 years ago, has just been received by its purchaser, J. P. Morgan of New York, who was required to pay a duty of $4,000, its value being appraised at $25,000. Morgan's brokers protested against the duty, saying that the book should be admitted free, because it is printed matter more than twenty years old. The Bible is about 20x24 inches and 8 inches thick, the cover being of stamped leather. YEGEN BROS.

The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite was first organized in the United States of America by Mr. Jean De Baptist DesSable, a brilliant and distinguished colored mason who came to the city of Chicago from the island of San Domingo on the fourth of July 1779. He had a patent of power and authority to establish and propagate the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite in the United States of America. In the year 1869 the United Supreme Council of Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite among the western masones for the southern and western jurisdiction was organized at Waltham, D.C. in the year 1860.

OUR CHICAGO LETTER Chicago, Ill., Dec. 1st, 1906. Miss Blanche Wright has been on a short visit and spent her Thanksgiving day in Gifford, Ill. Pitchfork Tillman was engaged to speak in Chicago on the Annexation of Cuba, but no one here has seen where Mr. Tillman ever touched his subject throughout the discussion. He substituted the race question, as usual. Rev. H. C. Martin has succeeded in waking up all the sleeping members of Bethesda Baptist church to a sense of their duty to themselves as Baptists and to the race by creating in them a spirit to buy some new church property. Mr. Theo. W. Jones, the proprietor and manager of a large warehouse and one of the largest teaming and transfer companies in Chicago, sustained a loss by fire to the amount of $72,000, partly covered by insurance. Mr. Jones lost by fire three years ago $22,000. Mr. Oscar DePriest, a colored man, who was elected county commissioner on the county ticket pulled through by a small majority. He was knifed at the polls by a large majority of colored voters because he is very unpopular in this city, and the republican party has got through putting such unpopular people on the ticket. At a meeting held at the Western Star club on Friday, November 30th, at their hall on State street. Lawyer John G. Jones offered a series of resolutions which were adopted thanks Mayor Dunne of Chicago for the position that he took in refusing to preside at a meeting in Chicago where Senator Tillman of South Carolina was to speak. Mayor Dunne's course was highly commended. The Grand Commandery of Knight Templars of the state of Illinois will meet in their annual session next Monday at Chicago, Ill. Sir A. W. Ford, grand recorder of the Grand Commandry of Knight Templars will deliver an excellent address on the occasion. Sir S. H. Prather, 33, deputy grand commander and Sir T. D. McFarland and Sir F. A. Campbell have been appointed a committee for the arrangement of a banquet. Mr. F. L. Barnett, another very unpopular colored man in Chicago, who was one of the candidates for municipal court judge, was defeated by a thousand votes. A large number of prominent colored men worked against him at the polls as well as a large number of white men. It is no doubt that he owes his defeat to the strong and bitter opposition that was made against him at the polls by a large number of prominent colored men in this city. Everett Market, (E. B. L.

REDUCES FREIGHT RAT Desperate Struggle on Shipboard Railway Charges Always Low Between Animal and Keepers. An exciting story of a baboon's escape from its cage on the Union-Castle liner Comrie Castle was told when the vessel reached Plymouth on the way to London, with a large collection of wild animals on board, including five wolves and eight zebras, the property of Herr Windhorn. Herr Windhorn, who for thirty years has collected wild animals, which he sells to dealers and zoological gardens, said the baboon stood 4 feet 6 inches in height and was very wild. About a week after leaving Cape Town it broke out of its cage, but fortunately the escape was discovered before the animal reached the deck. For two days, however, it was at liberty in the hold, showing fight whenever it was approached. An effort to snare the baboon by the cargo nets was found impracticable on account of the 15-foot leaps which the animal made whenever it was approached. At length Herr Windhorn ventured into the hold with his keeper and endeavored to secure the baboon, the keeper offering it food while the owner tried to come to close quarters. Herr Windhorn's foot caught in a net and he slipped, whereupon the baboon at once made a furious onslaught on him, fastening his teeth in the collector's leg. It was impossible to shake off the powerful beast. In his effort to release himself Herr Windhorn tried to force open the jaws of the baboon with his hands. He was in a measure successful, but the baboon quickly fastened his fangs in Herr Windhorn's right hand, which was injured even more extensively than the leg. The keeper, who hurried to his master's aid, quickly became the subject of attack, the baboon inflicting several bites on him, while the boatswain of the liner was also bitten. The beast afterward refused to be overcome by half a bottle of whisky and a dose of opium powerful enough to poison ten men was also given him in a bottle of lemonade without effect. Eventually a large grating was fixed outside the companion way and then by means of a display of fruit the brute was coaxed near it and as he stretched an arm through the grating to grasp an orange he was secured. Legs and arms were at length tightly lashed, after which the baboon attached to the grating was returned to his cage and then released. He died four days later and Herr Windhorn says he thinks death was due to a broken heart —London Tribune. SCHOOL STUDIES. MAN KIST ALTHO THRO KET RATE DO MUSIC DORG We give a real elevation of Henry Foster, better known as "Hen." Perhaps his name was not Henry Foster in your school, but you had a fellow like him. He was trouble's heir. He took ten lickings where any other lad got one. Unlucky. He was always caught. If a pane of glass was broken, it was Hen who stood with a stone in his hand. If the teacher asked a question it was Hen who always said "Huh." And once, when I asked him if it didn't hurt when he took a whaling, he gave the pathetic answer: "Should say not. Got used to it at home." Well, it helps to know that at least one "Hen" Foster within my knowledge became the head of a great educational movement, and the foe of beating children in order to teach them things.—Cincinnati Post. Teacher—Johnnie, on which side is your heart? Johnnie—On the right side, teacher. Teacher—No, Johnnie; it's on your left side. Johnnie—Yes, ma'am; that's what I said. Teacher—What you said? Johnnie—Yes, teacher; the left side is the right side for the heart—Cleveland Plain Dealer. "Paw, you believe in spelling reform, don't you?" "Yes."

Mr. Newlywed—Why not make Thursday your "at home day?" Hurry, your at home day? Mrs. Newlywed—Gracious, no! That would never do.

The average country woman looks at a restaurant bill of fare as if she was trying to pick out something to eat that wouldn't poison her. REDUCES FREIGHT RATES. Railway Charges Always Low Where Navigation is Available. "There are a few things they do better abroad," said Congressman Ransdell in a recent speech on river and harbor improvement, delivered in Portland, "and among these things is the foreign way of handling waterway transport. Other nations, notably Germany, Holland and England are expending annually upon canals and rivers sums by the side of which our expenditures are but trifles. A study of foreign conditions develops a few incontrovertible facts. Among these: Whenever canals, rivers, lakes and other waterways are properly developed, so that navigation is first class, freights are cheap and there is no demand for rate regulation. This demand comes entirely from communities which have no waterways. "Showing the comparative cost on railroad and water transport our own lake traffic is a good illustration. It cost 90c a ton to transport iron ore from Ashtabula to Pittsburgh by rail, a distance of 135 miles. It costs 80c per ton to carry the same ore by water from Duluth to Ashtabula, a distance of 1,000 miles. Imagine, you people of the Northwest, what the development of your own magnificent natural waterways would mean to every farmer, merchant and manufacturer. Each farmer would add to his profit seventents of the sums now paid the railroads for the carrying of his grain and fruit; each merchant would effect a saving in the cost of his merchandise and each manufacturer in the cost of his raw product. I believe, and we can demonstrate it by unassailable statistics, that were the national government to refuse appropriations for rivers and harbors it would be the most profitable of investments for you of the Northwest to bond your magnificent country for any sum, however great, that your unparalleled natural waterways be developed to the highest point of efficiency." Must Appear in St. Louis. St. Louis, Dec. 7.—The clerk of the United States Circuit court today received notification from the United States marshal's office in New York that service had been ordered on John D. Rockefeller and others in the government suit against the Standard Oil company recently filed in St. Louis. In addition to Rockefeller, the following joint defendants with him were served: Henry H. Rogers, William Rockefeller, John P. Archbold, H. M. Flagler and Oliver H. Payne. They will be required to enter an appearance here. Lesson to Free-Traders. London, Dec. 7.—The Daily Mail comments this morning upon the “Tale of American Prosperity” told in Secretary of the Treasury Shaw’s report. It says the striking fact about this dazzling prosperity is that it prevails in a country which British free traders, 15 years ago, predicted would be ruined by protection. The Daily Mail regards Mr. Shaw’s currency proposals as a bold statement, not feasible except for the $60,000,000 duties collected. Ask Cash for Explorers' Monument. Washington, D.

Twenty froglies went to school Down beside a rush pool— Twenty little coats of green; Twenty vests all white and clean. "We must be in time," said they; "First we study, then we play; That is how we keep the rule When we froglies go to school." Master Bullfrog, grave and stern, Called the classes in their turn; Taught them how to nobly strive, Likewise how to leap and dive; From his seat upon the log, Showed them how to say, "Ker-chog!" Also how to dodge a blow From the sticks that bad boys throw. Twenty froglies grew up fast; Bullfrogs they became at last Not one dune among the lot; Not one lesson they forgot; Polished in a high degree, As each froglie ought to be, Now they sit on other logs, Teaching other little frogs. —Anonymous. English Country Gentlemen Lived Welland and Codgers Custum Well and Had Curious Customs. An account of hospitality in 1629 gives a good idea of the manner in which a country gentleman of the period lived. Dinner and supper were brought in by the servants with their hats on, a custom which is corroborated by Fynes Morryson, who says that being at a knight's house who had many servants to attend him they brought in the meats with their heads covered with blue caps. After washing their hands in a basin they sat down to dinner and Sir James Pringle said grace. The viands seemed to have been plentiful and excellent, "big potriage, long kale, bow of white kale," which is cabbage; "brach soppe," powdered beef, roast and boiled mutton, a venison plen in form of an egg, goose. Then they had cheese, cut and uncut, and apples. But the close of the feast was the most curious thing about it. The table cloth was removed and on the table were put a "towel the whole breadth of the table and half the length of it, a basin and ever to wash, then a green carpet lailad on, then one cup of beer set on the carpet, then a little long lawn servier plaited over the corner of the table and a glass of hot water set down also on the table, then be there three boys to say grace, the first, the thanksgiving; the second, the pater noster; the third, prayer for a blessing of God's church. The good man of the house, his parents, kinkfolk and the whole company then do drink hot water, so at supper, then to bed, the collation which (is) a stoupe of all."—Scottish Review. Cause and Effect. Little Johnny Smith suddenly asked, in a startled voice, says a writer in Everybody's Magazine, "Mamma, is that bay rum in the bottle on your table?" It occasionally occurs to a mean man that when members of a woman's lodge go out of town to "put on the work," it is partly to get out of the work at home. ELDERBRAU GROTTO ERICKSON & BERG, Props.

Up-to-date stores nowadays consider window lighting a necessity, whether they remain open after dark or not. Competition forces modern methods. Is your store "SHUT UP" after sunset in the old style or in the new? There is no known illuminant which will light a shop window as effectively, hand-omely and satisfactorily as Electric Light.

COUNTRY OLGA REZANDER That the lives of Russian women are frequently mixed with tragedy, is shown by the history of the 23-year-old widow of the late Count Romanoff. The countess is the oldest daughter, by a morganatic marriage of Grand Duke Sergius, who was blown to pieces by a bomb over a year ago. She was married to Count Romanoff in February, last year, and when he was murdered a few months later she was forced to stand by and witness the crime. Then she was seized in her St. Petersburg home and made a secret prisoner by the officer in charge of the soldiers. She resisted him and escaped last June and has since been hiding in London. WOMEN AS EXPLORERS One of Them Crosses Northern Labrador with Husband. The arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Tasker at Fort Kimo on the east coast of the arctic peninsula, adds another to the list of women explorers, says the New York World. As probably the first white woman to cross northern Labrador, she has fairly won her spurs in a field of adventure for which her sex has of recent years shown a rare aptitude. Mrs. Tasker's feat will recall Mrs. Hubbard's venture into Labrador in the track of her husband's ill-fated expedition and the arctic voyage of Mrs. Peary. The return of Mrs. Max Fleischmann from a honeymoon spent in the arctic regions shooting polar bears illustrates new feminine ideals of a wedding journey. The exploits of Miss Mary Kingsley on the lower Niger still challenge comparison with masculine standards. Accompanied only by native attendants, she penetrated for long distances through the bush in the face of frequent dangers. In her writings she showed rare insight and sympathy with the native point of view, which male explorers have not always done. The reputation made by Miss Annie Peck as a mountain climber is world-wide. From the Matterhorn to the Peruvian peaks, what difficult summit has she left unscaled? She was the first woman to climb Orizaba, and she scaled Mount Sorata, in Bolivia, to a height of 20,500 feet, almost exactly that of Mount McKinley, which Dr. Frederick A. Cook has just conquered. In mountain climbing woman now asks no odds of man. Miss J. E. Duncan, whose explorations in Tibet carried her into regions previously unvisited, was the first European woman to cross the Changla pass, which is nearly 18,000 feet above the sea, 1,400 higher than any pass crossed by the British expedition to Lhasa. Mrs. Bullock-Workman has scaled great heights in the Malimaya. In April last Mrs. Laura Fitzgerald, an American, was reported to have left Mogador to explore the great Atlas mountains, among which are summits 14,500 feet high. Mountain climbing being in extreme altitudes a test rather of vital endurance than of muscular strength, women who have cool heads find it not beyond their powers. Fitzgerald camped for months at the base of Aconcagua, unable to get to the top, although there were no insuperable difficulties except the strain on the heart and lungs. There are probably many women who could with training have staggered with his Swiss guide to the summit. He was a seedy looking individual and reminded a casual observer of a man who, with Kipling's "tramp royale," had more than once found "his mate the wind which tramps the world." He wandered into small lunch room not far from Pennsylvania avenue and in a low voice ordered a mug of milk. He slipped the beverage slowly and it was evident that he was trying to make it do for a square meal. Throwing down a dime on the counter, he waited for his change. The spry and observing waiter tossed a nickel out to him, but observing the coin's brilliancy picked it up and looked at the date. "That's a 1906 nickel," he announced to the tramp. The tramp verified his words by looking at the date for himself, then muttered sadly as he started out: "Thank God the mint's still working!"—Washington Star. Held Back. "That big foundry over there can't get ahead very fast." "Why not?" "It's always casting anchors."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Mrs. Margaret Emmerich, of Clinton St., Napoleon, O., says: "For fifteen years I was a great sufferer from kidney troubles. My back pained me terribly Every turn or move caused sharp shooting pains. My eyesight was poor, dark spots appeared before me, and I had dizzy spells. For ten years I could not do housework, and for two years did not get out of the house. The kidney secretions were irregular, and doctors were not helping me. Doan's Kidney Pills brought me quick relief, and finally cured me. They saved my life." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

Third and Couch Streets, Portland, Oregon. Too Aggravating. A. B. It happened in a railway station. The baby cried and cried and cried. "Perhaps he desires his bottle," suggested a fatherly looking old party. "He has not been raised on the bottle," cuttily replied the handsome young woman who held the infant. The baby's shrieks grew terrific. He made unmistakable signs that he wanted his dinner. "Beg pardon, ma'am," said the elderly party. "but may I suggest that you—permit the child to—er take nourishment?" "This baby belongs to my sister," replied the young lady, blushing furiously, "and she won't be here for half an hour. I'm holding it for her."—Louisville Courier-Journal. Mothers will find Mrs. Winstow's Soothing Syrup the best remedy to use for their children during the teething period. Philologically Logical. Mrs. Gayboy—That's where you are wrong. You don't seem to understand the use of words. If a thing is "round" it can't be any "rounder." Mr. Gayboy—Then there is no such thing as a "rounder."

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damages they will do is tenfold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Cataract Cure, man-made, contains no mercury, and is taken internally, setting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall's Cataract Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally, and must be administered, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonial fees. Sold by Druggists, price 75c. per bottle. Hall's Family Pills are the best. Table Mustard. Common, ordinary, every-day table mustard obtained its name in a remarkably curious way. It is said that Philip, Duke of Burgundy, granted to Dijon some armorial bearings on which was the motto, "Moult me tarde." This was later carved in a stone archway of the city, but as the years went by the central word became effaced. A certain firm in the city was engaged in the manufacture of sinapl, which was the former name for mustard, and, wishing to label its products with the city arms, copied the incomplete motto. Thus, ignorant people seeing the name "moult-tarde" on the jars, fell into the custom of calling the contents by that title. In time "moult-tarde" was contracted to moutarde (mustard). ave You old Room? but houses there is a room without heating facilities—to say nothing fully hallways.

Some Schemes of Wildcat Promoters for Parting the Two. The fact that one of the firms of pseudo-bankers infesting lower Broadway has been taking the fools' money for five years is an indication of its success, says Success. Now half a dozen mushroom "banking" houses, with elaborately furnished quarters in New York, and branch offices in all the larger towns in this country and Canada and even abroad, are using this ingenious scheme to sell spurious mining, oil and manufacturing stocks. MUSCULAR AILMENTS The Old-Monk-Cure will straighten out a contracted muscle in a jiffy. The house most successful at the game has forty branch offices here and abroad, besides agents in many smaller towns. It brings out a new company every little while and sells the stock usually by the mail order and agency system. Years of experience have given these parasite promoters an invaluable "sucker list"—little investors all over the country whose financial credulity has not been shaken by repeated losses. These "investors"—wage earners, country merchants, clergymen, teachers and other professional men—are reached through circulars and letters. The first stocks sold by this house paid cash dividends for a while, and the "investors" who were doubling and tripling their savings bank incomes spread the glad tidings among their friends. The cash dividends were followed by script dividends—in some cases by no dividends at all. The stockholders who complained too loudly were offered in exchange for their unsatisfactory stocks other stocks in new companies brought out by the house. A "trust fund" established "for the protection of investors" is made up, supposedly, of sound mining stocks, and when an investor gets tired of one spurious stock he can send it in and exchange it for something else. This, of course, is just as spurious, but it keeps the victim quiet for a while. He is advised to hold the stock until the mine strikes the expected bonanza ore, when the stock will rapidly increase in value. In this manner the house manages to keep its dupes quiet for many months and to sell them more stock besides. JAPAN TO OWN RAILROADS. Nation to Pay Double the Cost of the Private Lines. Now that the Japanese government has undertaken to nationalize seventeen private railways, having a total of 2,887 miles of line, at a cost of 421,500,000 yen ($210,000,000), or about $73,000 a mile, the latest annual report of Ichiji Yamanouchi, director of the imperial bureau of railways of Japan, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1905, becomes of the highest historical and comparative value. The total mileage open for traffic in 1905 was 4,693, divided as follows: Government railways, 1,461 miles; private railways, 3,232 miles. This showed an increase of nearly 198 miles over 1904. Calculating the Japanese yen at 50 cents (commercially 49.8 cents), the cost of construction of the mileage was: Government rail- ways ..... $ 76,051,649 $52,054 Private railways ..... 120,502,452 37,284 Totals ..... $196,554,101 $41,882 It will be perceived that the Japanese government now pays almost double the original cost of constructing the private railways, and there is no suggestion of graft or excessive valuation in the transaction. The price paid was twenty times the average of the net earnings from operation for 1902, 1903 and 1904, divided by the cost of construction and multiplied by the paid-up capital—Railway Age. SPOILED HIS PLAN. Worm Wrecked Michigan Man's Crop of Railroad Ties. The best laid plans of mice and men go often wrong. Dr. A. H. Sauerman, who lives a few miles east of Union City, Mich., conceived a plan a few years ago where he expected to make a fortune. He planted quite a tract of land of yellow locust trees, setting them close together in rows, the tract containing something like 50,000 thrifty young trees. Their growth was hastened by frequent cultivation, good fertilizing and irrigation and they attained a most thrifty growth until last autumn. Dr. Sauerman's idea was to care for these trees for a few years until they had reached a sufficient growth to be used for railroad ties, when they were to be marketed and the tract of ground replanted again to trees. An investigation showed that a small worm was creating havoc with the trees, boring into the trunks and in some cases weakening the trees so that they fell over in a strong wind. And thus the genial doctor's visions of a fortune have gone a-gillmmering.—Manistee Times. ... WHAT JOY THEY BRING TO EVERY HOME as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required.

There was a peculiar sound from the direction of the woods as the member of the Birdlovers' Society sat in the window of her friend's country home one summer afternoon. She quickly took her small "Bird Guide" from her ever-present bag, and rapidly turned the leaves. At last she paused with a smile of satisfaction, and listened, with her finger between two leaves of the little book, till the sound came again. When it was repeated an expression of doubt flitted across her features, but still she was hopeful. "You probably know many of the bird notes, living so near the woods and in such a quiet spot," she said to her friend. "Can you tell me what bird that is?" "That," said her friend, briefly, "is our goat. We shall have to move him farther off." "They say that suburban life is not so bad." "No; I suppose not. We must remember that a great deal of the suburbanite's time is spent in the city."—Pittsburg Post.
