OREGON SENATORsHIP-Its seems al
most impossible for the Democracy,
which has large majority in the Ore
gen legislature. to decide Oh a candi
date for United States Senator. Fo.
the past two weeks they have been can
wasting the matter and holding eau
cuses, and ON Wednesday they were in
caucus almost all night, and on each
ballot they would seem to get farther
from the result aimed at A nomination
is equal to an election. and a. each man
has his friends, of course it is hard to
induce the friends of our candidate to
drop their man and vote for another.
Wouldn't it be little joke if the solid
Republicans. aided with the votes of =
few Democratic friends of Senator
Mitchell. whom he is known to possess,
would step 10 and settle the little mat
ter by electing him for another term ?
We do not expect to hear of anything
OF the kind. blu. stranger things have
happened.

BARNUM's FAT WoMAN.-No circu

BARNUM's FAT WoMAN.--No circus
is now considered complete unless it has
an enormously fat woman in side tent.
As Barnum has the greatest show on
esrth." he Of course has the latest
woman. Yet of tho thousands of Gu
rious people who annually visit this
monstrosity, few ever reflect that her
obesity isS disease. Until very recent
ly there was no known remedy for this
abnormal condition. Allan's Anti-fat
has proved more eficacious than even
the most sanguinc hopes of its discov-
erer had anticipated. BY its use even
Bsrnum's fat woman could be reduced
to graceful and even delicate propor-
tons. Sold by druggists.

Arrest of Dishonest EMPLOYEE.

About six weeks ago Mr.. W. F. Kongla, who
resides on Georgetown Heights was robbed OF
about 800 A boarder in the house was alsc
relieved Of SIS, gold watch and chain, and
several articles of wearing apparel. Suspicion
pointed to a young man named Augustus
GoPPclt, an employee of Mr.. Kengla, who sud
denly disappeared about the time of the rob
berry. The case was assigned to Detective.
McDcvitt and McElfresh, who, after investiga
ton concluded that the culprt had gone tC
New York. The detectives In that city wcr,
notified to lool. out for Goppelt and they sue,
cCcdCd in arrcsting him last Wednesday. De
tectiye MCDevitt was informed of the arrest
and proceeded to New York. The accused ap.
peared willing to come back to this city, and
the quarter past nine o'clock train last night
brought the officer and his prisoner. The lat.
ter was locked up at Police Headquarters for

An Extinct Volcano on the Comstock.

An Ehiihtt Noicaho on the tOmstOck.
Although little has ever been said about it,
we have an extinct volcano within about three
miles of this city. 1t is the largest of the sew
crnl mountains lying Immediately west of
American Flat and q short distance southeast of
the Virginia and Gold Hill Water Companys s
big reservoir. Those who doubt what we say
have only to visit the mountain mentioned to
be convinced. All the top and east side Is GOV.
cred with lava. In places the lava is from ten
to twenty feet in depth. 1t is light brown In
color and is honcycOmbCd with holes rcscm-
bling tho openings in n sponge. The place
where the crater once was is clOgged up with
this lava.
The only depression on the mountain Is q
large sink on tho west side where part of
tho crust appears to have fallen in. Before
water was brought from the Sierras for the
use of this city, the old water company ran q
tunnel under this large basin of depression,
thinking to tap n good deposit of water. The
mountain being Of great height, snow lies till
late in the season on its northern slopes, and
tho water from the melting drifts finds its
way into the sink. 1t was to secure the wa.
ter thus collected that the tunnel was run.
For some reason all the geolOgists-our State
gCOlOgist and all Others-havc failed to make
mention of this our extinct volcano. Nor
have they ever said word about tho lava.
They probably thought it the groupings of a
sponge mine or something elso equally valua-
