ANOTHER WISE JupoR,
Why an Editor Was JussiAahis in
 Shooting He Foreman.

Col. John W. Jebson was arraigned be- fore an examining court the other day on a charge of killing man. The colonel is the publisher of newspaper. and the evidence agreed tha, several days ago when he came down town. he stopped at pawn shop, secured a gun. proceeded to the office and ~i,hou, the leas, exhib,- ton of politeness. approached the fore man and shot him.
 This looks very much like cold blooded murder. colonel said the jus nce. "The witnesses all agree tha, the man had gwen you no prosocasion, and that you no, only sho, him. bu, that when he politely asked you to explain why you cooked your cannon on h,m. you replied impatien,iy, almos. aageasie- manly, understand. and shot him with the other barrel of your colunbiad. Now, colonel. ask you if these ailneszes haze stated the truth l''
 They have. your henor. SO far as they know entered the office as described and shot the man in the manner de tailed.
 Did yon get the gun for the purpose of killing him =
 ,'Nes, sir.
 l Then. colonel. your action was pre- medl,ated and I'll have to hold you iot murder m the hrs, degree" judge. l claim tha; l was Ius,,hable in committing the act. Le, me explain. Some time ago received one-line ad- vert,semen,, winch simply read. Take Johnson's Flux Cordial 1 contracted to to keep the line standing at the head oi the editorial paragraph column. Well the other morning. when took up Iny paper. wha, did l see, your honorf in- n.,ead of the advertisement, in the proper ' place found.

No. SIT, and know ,ng that the sta,u,es of Arkansaw would protect me, secured the gun and killed the foreman
 The judge reflected for fe~ moment. and replied Il was an editor for three days myself and can readily understand your exasperation. The law, having been mainly framed by men who know noth ing of newspaper business, does no, take cogni1ance of matter like this and x wholly unprepared so deal with il, leav. ing il exclusively to the wisdom of m, own judgment. therefore dismiss th', case, colonel, compelling the relative O your foreman to pay the costs and rende' a judgment of two thousand dollar against the state for inappropriate ares and troublesome prosecution.

The Rev. Dr. Winfield, one of the mos, popular preachers in Arkansaw and one of the best orators in the south went to the holy land some time ago and coi- lected the material for a lecture. which. since his return, he has been delivering with success. The other day the rever- end doctor delivered his lecture at Alma, and owing to some misunderstanding only eight people congregased in the hall of learning. Among the few who gath. cred together, was an old colored woman, who listened with rapt attention to the discourse. When she went home, her mistress, who was unable 10 attend the iecture, asked, Well, Emily, how did you like the lecturer" 'Oh, 1t were mighty fine, an lem'me tell yer. das's a holy man.

How TO MEASURE AN AoRE.-Few
farmers know the size of their fields,
or how many acres they contain,
though it is desirable at all times,
and sometimes necessary that they
should. An exchange. referring to
this matter says: A measureing cord
should be part of the furniture on
the farm, To made one, procure 81
feet of strong rope, one inch round;
make a loop or fasten a ring on a
bar at each end, and make these pre-
cisely 66 feet apart. This is four
ropes. One acre of ground will be
a piece of four of these cords Ichains)
long and two and one-half wide,
equal to sixteen by ten rods, making
100 square rods to one acre. The
advantage of the ring or loop is that
one person alone can measure alone
by driving stake in the ground to
hold the rope while be stretches it
out. The rope should be soaked in
tar and dried, which will prevent it
from shrinking when wet.

REJECTED OpPoRTuN1TIEs.-The an

and preparing to ship out of the

close of the year, buy at exorbitant
rates the identical textile made into

powers are running away untitled
every hour of the twenty-four at the
De Shutes Falls, only a mile away
from the shipping facilities offered
by our water front. Charity begins
at home, and this truism is just as
applicable to the industrial and
commercial interests of a growing
community as it is to good morals.
Oregon and California manufacturers
are every year reaping golden har-
vests at our expense by the simple
fabrication of our raw material in
to many of the commonest articles of
daily use and wear. We have the
willing hands, the skill and, we be-
leve, the capital to radically change
this untoward state of things, but
our people sadly lack those great
essentials, will, practical energy and
perseverance. Who will remove the
stumbling block and embalm his
name forever?

We believe the time has come for
a wood and coal yard to be opened
in Olympia. Such an enterprise
once established, our citizens could
depend upon fair and standard prices
for oil kinds of fuel, and thus be
relieved from the soulless monopoly
of INSCRIPTIONS dealers who make
wood and bark hauling only sort
of collateral and hence catch-penny
business. 1t is safe to say that a
liberal patronage would be extended
to the man who would undertake the
management of well supplied
wood, bark and coal depot. We
hope soon to hear of such all al
dition to the industries of Olympia.
