ChicagO's Garbage CrrmatOry.

Mrs. Schaffer, of Chicago, has
lately invented a garbage crematory
built on the plan of a large oven. 1t
is fed from the top, the ashes sitting
through iron CRATES into four wheel
carts so that they may be conven-
iently hauled away. 1t is so con-
structed that the smoke and smell
are carried by pipes into a large
smOkestack. She has also con-
Structed a machine for washing win
dOws.-Frank Leslie's.
Salem and all large cities need
some such crematory. And now,
while everything is dry and before
the rains set in, would be a grand
time to have a general clean up and
burn up garbage and trash. The
resultant ashes would be a inc fertil-
izer for onions and other crops.

An Exciting Combat.

Jason Hamilton, n farmer, who NJ
sides near the Cascade locks, Mrs.
Hamilton and their hired man had
an experience with q cougar few
nights since which is worth relating.
The Hamilton family had u number
of chickens, and these began to dis
appear inside of one or two nights
in an alarmingly rapid manner,
The coop was almost empty, and
Mr., and Mrs. Hamilton mourncd
therCat.
At 9o'clock one night noise was
heard in the coop, and Mr. HNmil-
ton and the hired retainer sailed
forth to capture the marauder, Mr..
Hamilton was armed with Il shotgun
loaded with bird shot, while the
hired man carried n tire-torch. Hear
ing their approach something darted
from the coop and took refuge in
tree. Mr. Hamilton, thinking it
was a wildcat, climbed the tree and
when he got close enough emptied
his shotgun into dark object perch
ed on the branches above him.
Down came the object, striking Mr.
Hamilton, and ne came down 10y
the run. The hired man saw that
1t was huge cougar, and, dropping
his torch, he fled like n scared wolf
The cougar began to feel for Mr.
Hamilton, when the latter's dogs
took n hand i'm the fight and dis
tracted Mr.. Cougars attention
Then Mrs. Hamilton picked up the
torch and joined in the melee, which
by this time had become quite in
teresting and exciting, The cougar
made for Mrs. Hamilton, but that
plucky lady burned his chin whisk-
ers with the torch and so held him
at bay. Mr.. Hamilton clubbed his
gun and struck the cougar, break
ing of the stock. Then he took
the barrels, and with the assistance
of Mrs. Hamilton and the dogs,
soon beat the cougar to death.
When stretched out the animal
measured some nine feet.
The hireling has been discharged,
the cougar skinned and the pelt will
be tanned and made into II cloak for
Mrs. Hamilton Portland News.

Almost everyone in town knows
Willie Murray, bright lad Of about
IA years, whose father Frank Muir
ray formerly resided here. For sew
eral months past, Willie has been
engaged in freighting goods from
this point to Bridgeport. When he
left here on his return trip yesterday
morning, among his other freight
he had some cans Of powder, and
when out some distance on the
road, looking back he discovered
that the powder was leaking out
into the road. Stopping his team
he went to where the inflammRble
material was heaped up in the
wagon rut and STOPPING over began
gathering 1t up. In doing this "A
match fell from his pocket which
either from being stepped upon, or
the hot rays Of the sun, took fire,
igniting the loose powder and burn

circumstance, says his right hand Is

DR.. ROB NORRIS.
The Masonic Poet. Laureate Scholar,
Traveller and Philan.
tbrOpiSt.

Calling in at Squire O'Donald's
shop, the writer observed him franz
ing a rather peculiar looking docu-
ment, diploma of membership in
the oriental order of the palm and
shell. 1t is side degree of Masonry,
gotten up by Dr. Rob Morris, well
known literary man and great
/ traveller, who visited Salem shortly
before his recent death, ut a ripe age.
He is held in high esteem by many
both in and out Of the fraternity.
He was native of la Grange,
Kentucky, but had become almost
cosmopolitan. Some years since he
was unexpectedly made poet
laureate Of the great order to which
he was 50 dcvotedly attached 10y a
large meeting of prominent Masons
from various parts of the United
States, at New York. Occasionally
a Mason may bC noticed wearing "a
small white shell as n charm ON his
watch chain. These shells were
brought 10y DIR. Morris from the
shore of Galilee, for the members of
the order spoken of nt the COM
mencement of this article. Also n
plain, unpublished iron ring bearing
the mystic lettersS. y. y, ID. The di-
ploma of membership is very
enigmatical and to the uninitiated
interesting but both literally and
tiguratively, to great degree, i'm an
unknown tongue. 1t is signed by
Henry r. Coleman, Louisville, KY,
assistant supreme chief of L. :. A.,
ThOs. Bowman Whytehead, York,
for England and Ireland; Robt. :.
Brown, for Scotland; Rolla Floy,
Joppa, for Syria; Ferdinand +.
Oddi, Cairo, for Egypt; Constantine
c. Carer, Smyrna, for Asia Minor.
DR.. Morris lived a. year in Jerusalem,
instituting the first Masonic lodge
there in the English language
Royal Solomon by name; he its first
w. NJ. He had collected many
curios, among them some coins
$500 years old. He was author of
SOME beautiful descriptive poems
and devotional hymns. A familiar
one, set to music by the well known
DIR. II. II. Palmer, begins
Each cooling dove and signing bough,
That makes the eve so blest to me,
Has something far diViner now
IL bears me back to Galilee.'
He was very interesting lecturer
especially ON the evidences of the
truth of the bible, being an active
Sunday school worker and member
of the Presbyterian church. 1t was
unfortunate that 10 church could be
obtained for his lecture on the night
that he was i'm Salem, us it was
Thursday and no one liked to give
up II prayer meeting for the purpose.
His request that sprig of ever
green should he hung on each
certificate of membership when
news of his death was received, Las
been complied with here. He was
a righteous knight Peace to
his ashes.

THE STATE FAIR.
Great Preparations being Made in
All Departments.
SPACE IN VERY GOOD DEMAND.
Machinery, Farm Products, stock
Home Industries and Flowers
to be Well Repre-
Sented

Mr.. X. L. Hibbard, of Silverton,
who has been appointed superin-
tendent of the pavilion at the state
fair, came in to-day to arrange for
the disposal of space in same. He
reports a good many applications
especially in the machinery depart
ment, which will be we'll filled with
great variety. There are already
more entries than usual.
Mr.. NJ. Wilkins, formerly prcsi-
dent of the society, of Lane county,
who makes the collecting of grasses
Il specially, writes that he is progress
ing well with his work and needs
fully as much space as last year.
George Belshaw of the same county,
will have a magnificent showing of
grain.
The applications for room for
floral displays in the garden be-
token a grand show in that line, as
this season has been especially
favorable for plant and blooms.
The garden will be under the general
supervision of a competent florist.
1t should be remembered that
there will be no entrance fee ON
ladies' exhibits this year, but they
are entitled to premiums all the
same. Speaking of the cash
premiums, it should be remembered
that they will all be paid in full
and promptly this year as the
society is in better financial condi-
tion than for years before.
1t is no longer matter of con-
tingency about the noted racers
being here, to compete for the
81 900 and other purses on the track.
The indications of fine stock being
are very good.
Salem and Portland merchants
ought to initiate firms in other
states, and make well arranged and
attractive assortments of their
wares, since competition is the life
of trade, and it affords one of the
best means of advertising.
At the great fair at Columbus,
Ohio, this month, additional at
are afforded i'm the shape
of day each for the republican,
democratic and prohibition parties.
Each is to have its day arranging
its own parade, speakers and doings.
1t is expected that the adherents
will crowd in from all directions on
the respective days and so swell the
gate money and the enthusiasm. Ii
is not likely that the management
Of our fair cares enough for affording
the farmers, when gathered from
all quarters, an opportunity to hear
the three sides to follow such an eX-
ample. Oregon has not grown up
TO that yet. Politically it is pretty |
sure to go one way and such course
As that at Columbus might disturb |
present relations.
One wise change made is the re-
iuction of the entrance fee one-half.
That will greatly increase the at
endance.
Mr.. Hubbard is determined to have
he pavilion all in order and
thoroughly cleaned up before the
lour for opening, on Monday, 18th
nst. Space should all be APP
1lied for by the 18th. Intending
exhibitors note that.
