An Eight-FOOt Shark

On Sunday forenoon Charles Mas
caroDi and Frank Faroni were ont on
the bay fishing for tomcods, black
bass and other fish. They were fairly
successful, considering the fact that
they were breaking the Sabbath.
At about 1870 Mascaroni felt ter
rife tug at his line, and fearing that
he could not hold his quarry, shouted
to his companion: Coma helpa mea
quicka, Franka, by San Antonia, I
believa l hava caught a whala.'
Frank sprang quickly to Mascaroni's
assistance, and if the hook had not
been stout, the line strong and the
boat wide and roomy one there
would have been an accident. After
tugging, hauling and pulling for half
an hour the great ugly head and
wicked eyes of an eight-foot black
shark appeared. Mascaroni had q
large club in his hand and rained a
shower of heavy blows on the head of
the monster which snapped its mouth
viciously at every stroke. Finally
the shark was killed. It weighed too
much to be taken into the boat and
was therefore towed ashore and
placed on exhibition in front Of a. fish
market on Columbia street.
The fish is of that variety which
naturalists call ObScUTus, or dusky
shark. The fishermen who caught
this one claim that it is q species
which attack men in the water. 1t
has very sharp but small teeth, and
sight of that large mouth to
bather in the water would not be
pleasant.-SeGttle Post IRtelligen-

FROM OVER THE STATE.

A large portion of the Umatllla res
ervation will shortly be opened to set
tlement.
1t costs Lake county, at present,
from $40 TO $50 per day to pay war
rants on rabbit, coyote, wildcat, con
gar and bear scalps.
There was a foot race at Siuslaw a
short time since and tine whole bay
went broke on the hind sprinter.
Even the big hotel is without milk
owing to the fact that the landladg
lost her cows through a misplaced
confidence in the speed OF the wrong
chap.
An immigrant family named He'll
derson, with twelve members, lately
arrived at Weston, from Indiana.
They were attacked with typhoid ie-
yer, and several died. One of the
survivors, a young woman, has gone
crazy on account Of disease and anx-
iety.
The average salary paid male teach
ers in this state in the year 1885 was
S48.22, and in the year 1886 was
S46.20, and of females it was for 1885
1886, and for the year 1886 it was
S3465, thus showing that teachers
wages are declining.
A San Francisco company has
agreed to build and operate an eX-
tenslve nail factory of Oregon City,
and building site and power suffi-
cient to turn out 300 kegs of nails q
day has been guaranteed them free
of cost for ten years. The company
will expend $4,000 on buildings and
machinery, it is said.
c. Alverson, of La Conner, went 10
his barn last Friday night with a
lighted lantern. As he went by a
vicious COW she kicked the lantern
into pile of hay and set the place on
fire. Four horses, several cows, 1900
sacks of barley and a lot of house
hold furniture were consumed. Mr..
Alverson's loss was fully $1,000; no
insurance.
Representative Hermann has Sc.
sured the passage in the house of the
bill pensioning Col. James Waters, of
Douglas county, the amount of pen
sion being $40 per month. Colonel
Waters is over 90 years of age and
was one of the few survivors OF the
war of 1872. During the Indian wars
in Oregon he rendered valuable ser
vice to the then territory as colo
mel of volunteer regiment.
Joe Holladay and George W. Weld
Ter, who went to San Francisco a few
days since to raise 100000 10 re.
deem Ben Holladay's property, have
returned without accomplishing the
object of their journey. A banker
here has offered to furnish the money
for bonus of 100000 and interest at
Z per cent for two years. The prop.
erty was sold six months ago by or
der of judge Deady, who gave Joe
Holladay until tomorrow to redeem
it.

JOURNALISM IN COSTA RIGA.

THAT the life of a journalist in that
part of the world is not an enviable
one may be inferred from the fate of
Senor Marchal, editor of Los BrlJdS,
one of the leading papers Of San Jose,
Costa Rica. Recently he published
an article which so offended the au-
tocratic ruler that he sent for the ed
itor to come at once to the palace.
Arrived at the executive mansion,
Don Marchal was ushered into a pri-
vate apartment where the president
happened to be seated. At sight Of
Marchal the president leaped to his
feet in ungovernable fury, and seizing
aloaded pistol shot full into the face
of the surprised and unarmed man
missing him by the merest chance
OF course, at this alarming juncture
Senior Marchal acted upon Lady
Macbeth's advice to her guests
and stood not upon the order Of
his going, but took to his heels
with expedition. An hour later
he was arrested in his OWL
house by officers of the govern,
ment and dragged to prison, where
that very night by the presidents or
der, one hundred lashes were well
laid upon his bare back. As
Soto was well aware, this was the
worst punishment that could pos
sibly be devised, because, aside
from physical pain, any proud Central
American would a thousand times
rather suffer death in any form than
such humiliation. Nor was this all
Next morning, weak and bleeding as
he was, Marchal was marched off
hand-cuffed like a galley slave, with
several other political offenders and a
few common criminals, to the western
coast, where he was forced on board
an outward bound steamer and for
hidden to return. Without trial by
law or opportunity to defend himself
his property was confscated and his
family left to the charity of his
friends.

UNEQUAL TAXATION.

THE total amount of revenue to be
raised by taxation this year in this
state is S317,S05. 1t is apportioned
among the several counties unequally.
By reason of the arbitrary system OF
assessment each county tries to make
its tax roll as small as possible, fol
the larger the tax roll the more the
county has to pay TO the state, dein-
quent taxes cutting no figure in the
amount that must be sent to Salem.
The result is that Clatsop county
must pay s9,263.29, almost as much
as Washington, with much larger
population, and as much as the four
counties of Tillamook, Josephine
Klamath and Curry together.
The law and custom put a premium
on fraud, for fraud is the mildest tern
that can be applied to the presen
manner of evading the payment o
Just proportion of state revenue.

MIR. KEELY now explains. in speak
ing of his motor, that "by means of
negatized axial centres of atomic
envelopes the projecting rays of
neutral ozone may be collected and
caused to oscillate, as it were, in re-
c1procal sympathy with the atomic
envelopes themselves, till they be-
come fully sensitized and a reaction
occurs, when in an instant the seventh
chord of the mass, as associated with
the luminous flow, unites with the
pulsatory condition of the diatomic
register, and complete sympathetic
equation is established" Is there
any person in the congregation, we
ask, so thick headed that he cannot
understand this clear and perfectly
reasonable explanation?

tion in the percentage of illiterates.
The highest is in Switzerland, 2.5, in
the whole German empire it is one
per cent; in Sweden, Denmark. Ba-
varia, Baden and Wurtemberg there
is practically no one who cannot read

Mysterious Magnetic Display.

stroke, S. L. Martin, one of the manag1
ers of the American Institute in New
York, opened his pocket-knife and laid
it on the base of the machine half way
between the two poles, which are about
fourteen inches apart. Instantly tho
knife arose and stood on end, the blade
pointing upward. For several seconds
it wavered there, swaying to and fro ad
if uncertain what to do or where to goI
Then it began crawling slowly toward
the great magnet. At first the motion
was scarcely perceptible, but as the in
strument neared the electric coils it tool
a sudden plunge and buried its sharI|
point in the pitch coating of the horse]
shoe. When removed it was magL
tized so strongly that it supported sill
keys and o ring which held them toI
gether. It was then brought in contact
with the other side of the magnet, whel|
its power of attraction Immediately disI
appeared.-Nsw York Tribune.

Gigantic Transportation. Company.

A gigantic river transportation COM
pany has been formed in Pittsburg by
wealthy capitalists, with the intention
of entering into competition with rail-
road companies for the freight business
of the West and the Lake superior iron
trade, so far as the quantities used by
Pittsburg mills are concerned. The COM
pany will put on line OF powerful
steamers and will own several barges.1
At St. Louis it will co-ope ate with the
"Diamond j." line of Mississippi River
steamers plying between that city and
st, Paul. At the latter place it is in
tended to erect large ore docks Ore
will be brought from the ore mines over.
land and loaded into barges at ST. Paul
and will be brought by river to Pitts
burg. By this means, it is claimed, ore
can be brought TO Pittsburg much
cheaper than by lake. There Is less
handling than by the Old route, and the
difference of time will be in favor OF the
new route.
The company also expects to be able
to bring Alabama and Tennessee ore in
successful competition with other ore,
thus opening up new supply territory
for Pittsburg. 1t expects to have tramc
arrangements with one or two roads
west of St. Louis, which will enable it
TO receive freight for inland western
points. Later on it may also bid for the
transportation of grain from the West to|
the seahoard, and traffic arrangements
can be made from this point East.-Re'0|
