OAksDALE NOTES.

The rain the past week not only wet
the parrho Il earth and all vegetation but
has made everybody and the stock look
and feel better and it is 4 farewell to the
dust for this season.
Oaksdale still has the name of being
t he nyclcst town on the s. ~ e.
road. Business still keeps good, although
there has been very little wheat sold or
rather given way.

building and Y is now occupied by Mrs.

Canegys Il McKuhn have moved heir

Walsh for her millinery store and post
office.
The room in the brick to be occupied
by Henklc, Mccoy & Co., has been com
pleted and they will at once move into 1t.
The low price of grain is causing
many long faces and long and loud

REFERRING TO the proposition to or.
ganize strong league of colored men,
with branches throughout the South,
the Atlanta Constitution offers this sug-
gestion: I'm this country black men,
and white men, too, will find that honest
industry and economy will benefit them
more than Thousand leagues, and will
do more to solve their problem than
millions of ballots" There are times
when it becomes necessary for particular
classes in certain localities to band them.
selves together for self-protection; but
the CONSTITUTIONS suggestion is good
rule to work by in all cases where such
necessity does not exist 1t is particu-
larly applicable to communities at the
North, where there are no wrongs to
redress, and the people are prosperous
and contented and where each man has
all Of his rights as citizen. But If this
rule prevailed, what would become oi
the professional ''workingman" whose
business is to cry out against imaginary
wrongs and 'thc enemies of our lib
erties?''

SPOKANE TO A STRANGER.

"Rome was not built in q day p' Even
the genius of an empire that swayed
the worlds scepter moved slowly In the
construction of its cities. A civilization
that has been the theme of poets and the
admiration of historians required the
toll of generations to erect its centers of
activity and wealth. In sharp contrast
to the slow methods of the ancients is
the way cities spring UP in the West to-
day.
a stranger entering the gates of Spo-
kane Falls is powerfully impressed with
the wonderful activity of its people; not
the sort of energy that blew the great
bubble which recently burst with dis
sstrous results in Los Angeles and San
Diego, and sent the people back to the
lotus leaves of dying Spain, but an
activity that gives remunerative employ
ment to every artisan and laborcr, and
constructs enduring monuments of mar
BILE. and granite and iron. Spokane
Falls, to a stranger, seems crystalliza-
ton of that pluck and nervous action
which has stamped the mystic West
with an originality that fairly takes the
breath of staid old New England.
Not inaptly this city has been COM
pared to Denver. In many respects there
Is parallel; yet Spokane Falls has an
individuality at once striking and pleas
ing. Like Denver, she sits at the gate
way to mines Of imperial wealth. So
also is she the center of wide stock
growing industry, while her agri-
cultural resources and possibili-
ties are immeasurably greater. But
where Spokane rises superior to the
Queen City of the Plains is in her Won
derful water power, feature that stamps
her with originality ofresource and COM
mands the admiration of every visitor
who pauses to watch the long stretch of
tumbling water, or beholds the silent
slavery of the subtle essence of power
Here is the slavery thatlshall endure for
ever. Not the dark blot that lay so long
upon the South; not the serfdom of
broken families and bleeding backs; but
a slavery that carries light into the dark
ness and help to weary humanity, and
hope to the future. A slavery that bears
the hum of industry, and not the agoniz.
ing crack of the slave-driver's whip.
To-day the people of Spokane Falls
are writing history. A history that now
may appear comm onplace to some. But
time will soften II to pleasing romance,
which our children shall tell by fifty
thousand hearthstones, and which will
form the sublime theme of poets yet un-
born.
Hail, proud young city! Thou beau
tiful favorite of Fate! n. w. D.

the state of New York, In all human
probability II would have led to civil
war.
| need not tell you of the appalling
frauds In the South, where whole race,
Invested by tho constitution OF the
United States with the right to vote,
have practically been denied that right
and subjected to tho most cruel oppres-
sion and wrong. Il hope and believe
that 1t Is not so bad now as formerly but
still, In tho states whore the colorcd peo.
pie arc in the majority, they are, by less
cruel devices than formerly, denied tho
right to vote and to-day more than thirty
democratic votes In the house of rep
rescntativcs are based upon the negro

cally denied The right to choose q repre-
sentative.
In conclusion Senator Sherman said; t;
In my view the choice Is as plain as the
sunlight of heaven In favor of the repub-
Lean party, 1t may fultcr for time in
meeting new questions, 1t may he dis
turbed by passing clouds, and, Ike all
human agents, may yield to eypcdi iency
or be tarnshcd with the corruption and
faults of individuals, yet 1t is the best
organized guide in state and utional
affairs, and should, and | conhd entity

How the Hnrern Is Fed.
New York World,1


The ladies of the harem have their SER
wants, and the hairdressers and dress
makers must be numbered by hundred.
The less favored among the women
sometimes act as tho servants OF the
others, but many of these ladies have
their separate establishments, with their
own eunuchs, slaves doctors and beg
gars. They receive visitors In their own
apartments and make visits TO the other
ladies of the imperial city, which Is hid
den behind the walls of the sultans pal
ace grounds. The feeding of six or seven
thousand people every day, year In and
year out, costs fortune, and good part
of the sutan's Sl0,O00OO0 year passes
through the bands of his cooks. The
chief part of the cooking for tho palace
is not done in tho grounds where the en-
peror lives. The food is prepared ut the
great palace of Dolma Bagtcle, about a
mile away, and is carried on trays on
the heads of portors to the harcm on the
hill. 1t Is safe to say that large part
ofthe best of its dainties are served cold.

But few persons can appreciate the
fact, until they have made a personal
inspection OF the city, that large por-
tion of Spokane Falls Is now rebuilt.
OF the sixty-thrce acres Of brick build
ings destroyed by the late fire there Is
not block but that has several brick
buildings in process of construction,
many of which are now three and four
stories high. The fine weather which
we have had has enabled contractors to
accomplish marvellous results. In few
more months tho long lines of solid brick
and granite will cause the stranger to
look upon "o,ir late calamity" as Il bless
ing in disguise. Nearly all the owners OF
property arc building five aud six ories
high. When the buildings are COM
pletcd tho streets will have metropoli-
tan appearance which cannot he sur

Even in q land so strange and SEEM

DUEBER BOUND OVER.
Full Text of Justice Dunning's De-
cisor., ,upu Fixed at Five
sred Dollars.

Justice {. II. Dunning rendered his
decision in the case Of Peter Dueber, OH
u charge of grand larceny, at clock
NJ onday afternoon, in the presence of
one Of the attorneys from each side and
few spectators. Justice Dunning read
his decision, which was as follows:
1t appearing from the testimony in the
Jamicson matter that the defendant is
not guilty of wrong concerning that
order, nor either Is hc connected with
the load of goods that Swarts tcSiiiic cd to
have seen going to his house, for the
reason that the territory failed to con
meet defendant with the transaction or
TO even show that the defendant was in
the city ut the time. The testimony of
Cowell and Mckenzie Is corroboratcd by
the defendant himself. He says be re-
ceived the goods upon his own order 10
give to Others who wero needy and did
give away small portion of said goods.
II was also shown that the dcicn dant
has been using said goods himself in
go all amounts and still has some Of the
mods In his posscssion 1t was also
shown from defendants testimony that
it was about five weeks from the time Of
receiving the goods until complaint was
filed. Now the question is, What was
the intent of defendant? If ho had given
all the goods to the needy he would not
be guilty nor would he If hc had kept the
goods intact and not used any portion
OF them himself, and returned them
to the relief tent. But the fact remains
that Mr.. Ducber had received goods ON
his own verbal order, put them i'm his
cellar and has been converting the same
to his own Use. The cause is sutt tcicnt,
and am bound TO hold the defendant
under the law for further investigation.
The bond will be liked NJ $500.
Mr., Dueber signed the bond hin, self
and left the courtroom, and lator in the
afternoon returned, accompanied by
James Gillespie, who also attached his
signature to the document.
