"MUCH ADO" ETc.-J ustice Fhnt's
ouIt was occupied Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week trying Frank
Donaldson. Whilst we do not like to
criticise public officers for doing what
they believe to be their duty, we must
say that the proceeding was of char
acter that should not have been al
lowed to come before the courts. The
informant was a young "grass widow
of buxom appearance, who swere out
an information charging felony, the
exact nature of which it is unnecessary
to state. When the prisoner was ar
rested and brought before the court
the charge was withdrawn and com
plant for an assault and battery pre-
ferred. A jury was called and the
trial developed the fact that the pris-
oner, about ten o'clock at night, went
to the house whore the young woman
was living, who was an intimate ac-
qraintance, knocked and finding the
door ajar, pushed it open and stepped
into the house. The woman, who had
retired, not knowing who he was, arose
and with language more forcible than
select ordered him out, and he stood
not on the order Of his going but
went at once. One Of the neighbors
hearing the conversation put in an ap-
pearance, hence the necessity for ar
rest. 1t is needless to say the verdict
of the jury was ''not guilty." and the
Justice and District Attorney earned
the ir fees and the y oung woman free
advertisement at the county's expense.

In the U. S. Circuit Court on last Mon
day, Judge Deadly granted provisional in
functions in the cases of Wells, Fargo & Co.
against the Oregon Railway and Navigation
Company, and the same against the Oregon
and California road. The court held that
Wells, Fargo &Co were duly Incorporated
and that its name was legally changed from
the Holladay Overland Mail and Express
Company to Wells, Fargo d Co.; that the
express business was recognized branch of
the carrying trade of the country: that rail-
way corporations were bound to treat it &C.
cordingiy; that railway corporation was
created by the State of Oregon to serve the
public as common carrier fer reasonable
compensation, and must adapt itself In the
discharge of its duties to the public. to the
usage and customs of trade; that section 80
of the Oregon corporation act, which de-
clares that railway corporations shall be
common carriers and have authority to take
such tolls for transportation OF freight and
passengers as they may prescribe. only au-
thorizes the taking of reasonable tolls. and
is q contract with the State to that effect,
but no more, and what is such reasonable
compensation Is question for the court to
determine in each case. In allowing the
injunetions the court directed that plaintiffs
should pay the defendants pending the suit.
the same compensation for express facilities
as it had paid heretofore, the court assum-
ing tina such pay was reasonable.

SAYS an exchange: In selecting an
Attorney General for the United States
it would seem natural and proper to
seek for the best lawyer in the country
and offer him the position. The sal
airy is $4,000 per annum, or about $22
per day The Attorney General, how
ever, employs Bliss at salary six
times greater than he gets himself, and
Bliss is evidently in no hurry to get
through with SO good thing. 1t
would seem now that If we must have
Bliss, We should have had him in the
first place as Attorney General. The
star route prosecution is far from sat
isfactory to the country. It should
have been successfully ended long ago.

An Interesting and Instructive Book.

All know that the books of Daniel and
the Revelation are two of the most wonder
full books in the Bible The author of this
work gives US the result of nearly thirty
years study, and throws food of light on
these two books as no other work in any
language has ever done. No fanciful theo-
ries are presented, but arguments are drawn
from ancient and modern history and the
most reliable authorities, in great abund-
ance, to make clear the meaning of these
important books of tbe Bible, verse by verse,
and convey an amount of information which
cannot elsewhere be found in so concise a
form.
In reading this book, our minds are car
ried through the history of the rise and fall
OF four great nations of the past, which ARE
represented by the great image OF gold.
silver, brass and iron, from the old Assyrian
empire down to the division of the Roman
kingdom, and on through the dark ages in
which Roman power and Mahammedan SUI
perstition were felt and seen all over the
earth. The great revolution in France IN
l793-l798, which is fresh in the minds OF
all reade RS, and the Eastern question which
is now attracting the attention of all tho
leading statesmen of the world, are carefully
considered as waymarks in the great stream
of time.
The wonderful United States government
under which we live, which has increased
from 5000 square miles and 1900, 600
| population to $500, loco square miles and
more than 50,000,00 population, in an in
credibly short space, a government which
appears latest in the great stream of time,
along whose banks the mighty nations of
antiquity have fallen, is treated in manner
to make it q topic of absorbing interest to
all, as the author considers it subject of
prophecy, and gives the clearest reasons for
his views.

From late copy of the Los Angeles Her
aid it appears that the concrete water pipe
has come into general use in Southern Cali
fornla. 1t Is now, after careful test, being
used for the sewers of Los Angeles. as the
best material that can be obtained. For
sub-irrigatIon it is a perfect success. while
its use for domestic water pipe, being free
from rust, is considered the best that can be
found. The test and success are complete,
and are certified by the City Engineer of
Los Angeles and many prominent agricul-
turists and wine growers in that section,
one of whom (Chsffey Bros.) has twenty
miles in use and will lay twenty more this
year. The farmers and gardeners of Doug
las county would greatly increase their
crops If they would use this cheap and per-
manent method of irrigatina, which can be
procured in this city of L. Belils and Co.

to report the drunkenness of Congress
the last few days of its life. The
drunkenness was disgraceful in the
