In this Territory. Without the New

not hope to receive the nomination
OF his party at Chicago. A divided
delegation would be almost as fatal to
his prospects. But in the event of his

some of the leading papers of the
state, he would be showed under by
as great a majority as engulfed Mr..

bernatorial contest.
The Yellowstone Journal jubilates
over the "bouncing" Of Land Com
missioner Lamoorn by the Northern
Pacific Directory. The causes as
signed for his removal are that he
has been too illiberal in his dealings
with settlers upon the railroad lands
and that he was at the head of a ring

that Manager Cakes will probably
have to give place to a man who will
pursue a more liberal policy in the
management Of the road. 1t is fur

Miss Sutro, the daughter of the
man who built the famous Sutro
Tunnel, received great many let
tiers from a professor in Berlin,
who had seen her photograph and
had been captivated by it, pro-
posing marriage. She sent them
all unanswered to her father, who
was in Spain. Mr.. Sutro after
wards saw the professor in Berlin,
and liked him SO much that he
advised his daughter to answer
his correspondence, and the end
oft is that they will marry.

YOUTH AND AGE.-The time for
action is in our youth. 1t is then we
gather in the grapes. With freckled
faces, sunburnt hands and bare feet
we wandered from vine to vine from
trellis to trellis in the very exhuber-
ance of childish glee and spirits. In
age we quietly sit in the shade, and
while the hours away in converse
tion with our friends, while we sip
the wines, which is the better for
the long years which have passed
since the. In youth we should learn
wisdom. 1t is thus we should sow
the seeds which are to bear fruit for
the future. We should be taught
that Peruna is the greatest medi-
cine ever discovered, and that it has
worked some wonderful cures.
There is book which can be pro-
cured at the drug stores, which tells
yon all about the medicine. 1t is
entitled the ILLS of Life" Ask for
it and read it through and then buy
Peruna and you will never regret it.

Franklin and Adams.

Here is a funny old story, which
has never seen print, and 1t is true,
having come down among the tradi-
tons of the old families Of Massa
chusetls, saws Boston letter: Some
time during the Revolutionary peri
cd, or a little after, John Adams and
Benjamin Franklin were dispatched
from Philadelphia, believe. to this
State on public errand. Adams had
moral a1tipathy, shared by him
along with the majority OF mankind
at that early day, against the night
air. He believed that if he kept his
bedroom window open even crack
at night he would surely die. Frank
lin, on the other hand was disDe
lever in the theory Of danger in the
night air, aud he had many argn-
ments with Adams thereon. Cir.
cumstances and the crowded condi-
tion of many of the taverns they
stopped at on their way eastward,
compelled them frequently to occu-
py the same room, aud often the
same bed. Adams Away opposed
raising the window, and poor Ben
nearly suflicated and reviled Adams
on waking for his wretched theory
of the deadly effects Of nature'f uni
versal medium of breath
One night Ben slyly raised n win
dow in their common chamber, but
Adams, on the alert for his friends
little games, insisted that it should
be closed at once Said crafty Ben;
Now, Mr.. Adams, we'll go to bed
with the window up. and | will show
you why it will not be harmful to us
to permit it To stay open. Ii / can
not convince you Of the reasonable
ness of my theory, | will myself get
up and close the window" Adams
weakly consented, and Ben began to
reason with him. Finally poor
Adams was talked to sleep, and Ben
TRANQUILITY resigned himself to slum-
Der. Next morning great was Mr..
Adams horror at finding the win
dow up, but not having died during
the night, and feeling no i'll effects
from having breathed the night air,
he became convert to sly Benja-
Minis night air theory. The author
of history of America during the
colonial epoch told me this anecdote
as something amusing, which had
hitherto escaped type.

dealers in Portland decline to renew
their freight contracts with the
Northern Pacific Railroad, claiming
that the company discriminates in
favor of the interior traffic. The
fact is, they went to cripple the pow

aid to Puget Sound, and the Oregon

THE following, from the Mountain
Sentinel, will be sad news for office
holders: sc. G. Linington, who in
the past month has travelled through
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michi-
gan, sends back from Chicago this
greeting to his friend and brother
Republican, Drake: Throughout
these Western States an immense
tidal wave is sweeping toward the
Democratic banner. Everybody is
shouting wildly for Cleveland and
Hendricks. Such political wave
as is everywhere apparent here is
probably without a parallel in the
history of the Republic. Blaine is
seldom mentioned, and Logan will
be swamped in his own State of Hi
nois."
