The third annual ball of the Pioneer
Hook and Ladder company was an ex-
cellent one. Last night between nine
and ten o'clock the young folks began to
assemble in the spacious dining room at
the Park hotel, and about fifty couples
participated in the mazy waltz. About
midnight as many as $50 persons sat down
to sumptuous repast. The affair was
an enjoyable one. Pecuniarily and other
wise it was a success.
The financial condition of Cascade
county is t1rst-class. The expenses next
year need not be so heavy as they were last
year. Last December the county was
without cent in the treasury.
This year there will be nice balance after
paying all the expense of last year. While
great care has been taken by the present
board of County Commissioners in cutting
down expenses, our roads and highways
have not been neglected, a large Jail has
been built, the offices have been furnish
ed. Record books have been bought and
a large outlay, made necessary at first,
but which will not be needed hereafter
Among the matters talked about in the
council was that of leaving dead animals
upon portions Of the townsite. This has
been done in several cases. 1t is made
by Territorial laws. We are
glad to see that the council are also taking
hold of the matter. An end should be
put to such nuisances. Another matter
which demands the attention Of the city is
that Of sewers. They should be construct
ed so as to empty into the river at some
point below the mill. 1t should be made
upon all water carriers to
get their water supply for the city above
the point Of discharge of sewers. 1t has
been reported that this has not been done
in some cases, but water has been taken
below the mouth Of sewer. This may
be the cause Of the sickness prevalent in
town.

the defendants. This was case which
the plaintiffs had appealed from the Pro-
bate Court. After hearing the evidence
OF the plaintiffs, Mr.. Brady moved for a
dismissal of the case. Judge Bach in
giving his decision stated thatit appeared
from the evidence that the plaintiffs had
contracted to dig a we'll for the defen-

we'll the plaintiffs had ceased work. and
that hole in the ground was not a we'll.
He advised the plaintiffs that it was much
cheaper to procure lawyer to draw up a

tiffs and dismissed the case.

LARGEST ElnMcr in the World.

In the furthest, southeastern island OF the
Philippine group, Mindinao, upon one OF Its
mountains, Parag, in the neighborhood OF
the highest peak in the island, the volcano
Apo. a party of botanical aud ethnograph-
ical explorers found recently, at the height
of . 500 feet above the sea level, colossal
flower. The discoverer, Or. Alexander Scha-
denberg, could scarcely believe his eyes when
he saw amid the low growing bushes the I'M
mense BUDS Of this flower, like gigantic
brown cabbage heads But he was still more
astonished when hc found a specimen in full
bloom. a five pctaled flower nearly yard IN
diameter-as large as a carriage wheel, IN
fact. This enormous blossom was borne on
a sort Of vine creeping on the ground It
was known 10 the native who accompanied
DR.. Schadenherg, who called it Boo. The
party had no scale, using their boxes and
specimens as weights. Weighing these when
opportunity served. 10 was found that a single
lower weighed over twenty-five pounds
II was impossible 10 transport the fresh
flower, so the travellers photographed it, and
dried number OF its leaves by the heat Of a
fire. Dr. Schaienberg then sent the photo
graphs and dried specimens TO the Royal
Botanical Gardens at Breslau, where the
learned director Immediately recognized It
as a species of rafiiesia plant formerly dis
covered in Suinatra and named after the
English governor, Sir Stamford Rafiies.
The new flower was accordingly named Raj
fiesta Schadenbergia. The five petals Of this
immense flower are oval and creamy white,
and grow around a center, filed with count
less long violet hued stamens, thicker and
longer in the female or fertile flowers, than
in the infertile. Tie fertilization is accom-
plished by insects, whose larye breed in the
decaying flesh Of its thick petals The fertile
flower develops soft berrylike fruit, in
which countless seeds are imbedded- The
flower exhales a poisonous gas, even when
first opened, which is most unpleasant

THE THIRD DISTRICT.

We hear good news from the home
district to-day, but the only point is to
do the work. We have the majority,
but we must see the voters and get them
to come to the polls 1t is reflection on
our people if they cannot win the great
battle when the trouble needed is to come
to the polls. The State Of Virginia is
Democratic by thirty thousand majority,
but the trouble is that the politicians who
benefit by winning an election do rot
work hard enough to bring out the vote.
We must, therefore, appeal to people
Irrespective of politics, and call on them
to save the Safe and their party. The oc-
casion is peculiar one:
There is no personality in the present
canvass.
1t is a question OF principle and self
preservation, and the people ought to I'M
derstand that we must save ourselves
from Radical rule.

Renting Out Table CHI la.

The manager Of house furnlshing estab-
lishment said TO a reporter: This custom Of
renting out china and table furniture grew
up gradually until we found ourselves doing
il as a regular business We do it now
straight along at fixed tariff, and We have
got together all tie things that most house
keepers are apt 10 want. Wo rent things at
from 10 10 % per cent. o. the value Of the
goods according to the amount needed. You
see Yery few ladies-even rich ladies-haye
china enough for large dinner party, and
so they come 70 US. Sometimes we rent a
complete dinner seryice-sometimes, as with
that lady who was going out as you came in,
merely q dozen finger bowls. Not long ago
at house warming on Prairie avenue VIC
not alone rented the table china, but toilet
sets for every room in the house, fine sets
they were, too; aud all the company thought,
Of course, that they belonged TO the family,
although the washbowls and pitchers and
things only stayed there one evening and
were all back in the store here next day.
"How about breakagesP
ave are responsible for all breskage in
taking the goods out and back; the rest the
renter pays for. Breakage, however, is not
a heavy item, with ordinary care It aver
ages about Is per cent. in the year; not more
than that"
And is the trade large enough to amount
to anythingP
alt is SO large with us that we have to keep
separate books for it and employees specially
for the taking out and caring for the rented
goods"
"Do you rent dishes 10 any one besides
familiesf'
"Oh yes; to picnics and clubs and special
dinners. The caterers rent from US, and so
do the men who arrange excursions. They
hire beer glasses and knives and forks, you
know. 1t is queer business, but we have to
make il a regular department Of our store. "
