SwindIers in the Panhandle.

SWindlerS in the Panhandle.
KANSAS CITY, No., Sept. 23.-There
is every reason to believe that a gang
of adroit swindlers is preparing to
flood the eastern cities with fraudulent
bonds of the counties in Southwestern
Kansas and Northwestern Texas.
Bankers here have been receiving in
quiries from the East tor several
weeks, in regard to the bonds from
various Kansas and Texas counties,
most of which had not been listed
here. In the northwestern part of
the Panhandle ofTeXas is an immense
grazing ground and this county Is Sc
lected as the seat of operations. The
swindlers make their headquarters in
some small towns. procure signatures
to petitions for establishment of
county, file their petition with secre-
tary of state and get the bound
airy lines established and hold
bogus election at which the bonds are
voted. A high rate of interest is
promised and the bonds are listed
considerably below par. Agencies
are established where the bonds are
sold to the smaller classes of invest
ors, who are persuaded that large re-
turns will follow the investment in
these worthless securities. The au-
thOrities of Texas have about run the
swindlers to the earth, but are hold
ing off until they have sufficient evil
dence to break up the gang.

To GET at the true inwardness of
the late election in France would
puzzle a ward alderman ofNew York.
All that seems at all certain is that
the republican party proper, of the
country, has received about two votes
to one for the combined opposition.
A great many second ballots will be
taken. Boulanger is not making
Roadway, although in some districts
he has swept everything clean. In
the present temper of affairs he could
not regain his place no matter how
the elections went, but there is no
prospect of either himself or his fol-
lowers securing a majority at the
polls.

= SOME SALMON STATEMENTS.

The situation presents a marked
contrast with that of week ago.
There are many inquiries and not q
few sales have been reported at good
prices; comprising packs of Columbia
and other rivers and of Alaska. One
authority reports the sale Of 100000
cases Of Fraser and Skeena river at
SL374, but We cannot verify the re-
port but from actual transactions
should say that the price named was
low. We have authentic reports of
sales of from 10000 to 10000 cases of
Skeena river at S150 [. o. b river and
sales of Fraser river brands are re-
ported at S1.37L@1.4O. The British
American Packing company (Skeena)
is reported to have sold 10000 cases
at S1.40.
There are rumors of the sale Of
Columbia river: flats" at S1.70 and
stalls" at S16o. but we have been IN
able to trace the reports to O reliable
source. We can vouch for the sale of
10000 cases of the Devlin pack (Co-

A NEW VERSION.

"My, son, observe that You are
reading that sage headline in this
mornings paper. Don't Be a Clam
Now take your fathers advice rather
than that of the newspaper on all oc-
casions, and remember that you
might do worse than be clam. The
clans that have met in this world
have minded their own business; have
kept their mouths shut; have avoided
endorsing their friends notes: have
never embezzled trust funds: have
never came reeling home at midnight
under the influence of cocktails; have
never written for the comic papers;
have never told lies about their neigh
bors or INDUCED in ribald jest or
wounding repartee. Remember these
things, my son. Emulate the clam.
and if misfortune overtakes you, az it
often does the bivalves Of whose viz
tues have just spoken, You will at
least have the consolation that he
has; your trouble will not be due to
your own foolishness. ~ T.

WHYNOT?

THR Oreg0niGa in lengthy editorial
on the necessity for the commerce of the
Columbia river being relieved from the
possibility of excessive charges, more
especially that of pilotage, concludes by
suggesting the necessity of either uniting
pilotage with the tug service, or that the
state maintain the pilots and pay them.
If state control of one service in the in
terest of commerce is good, why not
other branches? We make the sugges-
ton that, owing to the excessive charges
of our inland transportation companies,
our legislature also maintain these lines
and for the services of those who run
them. "The one necessary and indis-
pensible thing is" to transport the pro-
ducts of the producer as cheap as possi-
BILE to the markets of the Weston
Leader.
Why not? If the state has the
good of the producer at heart, why
not as our contemporary suggests,
have the legislature maintain the rail-
road lines? Or if it be right ard just
that the o. r. & n. Co. maintain the
towage and pilotage why not turn
OthCl vi ldACACS Oh6I W lilttu- blht
them the monopoly of the carrying
trade also; pass law prohibiting any
boat not owned and operated by the
o. r. & N. Co., from plying in the
Columbia and Willamette rivers:
and if they can get the state to trans
fer one branch of business, why not
all? Let the legislature also inter
fere with other businesses and give
the 0. R. & Co. perpetual franchise to
do all the warehouse business on the
river; to do all the transfers by team
and otherwise of freight tomerchants'
stores; give them all the draying
business; turn over to them all the
hack and street car business; give
them franchise of sole right to sell
wood or coal on the Columbia or its
tributaries.
Gentlemen of the legislature, don't
be mealy mouthed; don't strain at q
cat if you are going to swallow a mas
tiff; no half way measures will do; go
the whole business; run the thing out
to its logical conclusion and surren-
der to some corporation every line OF
business except fire insurance and the
sale of real estate. Why not?
But oh sapient Legislators do not
give the commission charges of Port
land, or the Front street business to
to the o. R. & N. Co., or any other
company. If ye do ye be bad men.
They are exempt by special dispensa-
ton of Providence as revealed to and
iudicially interpreted by the Ore
CONTAIN.

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
viduaI. Such q remarkable event IS
treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby-th good health has been at

that so much Is heard in praise of Elec-
tric Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health to the use OF

a general revival of trade at j. w:

enormous in this very valuable article

ASHAMED OF WHAT?

The OregOnia1a is always an inter
esting journal, and is sometimes an
amusing one. 1t is most amusing
when it assumes the role OF mentor
and attempts to make up for its own
lack of fairness by imputing unfair
ness to others. When unable to find
a flaw in an argument or a slip IN a
statement, that it is antagonizing, 1t
sets up q singular defense by supposi-
tious intent on the part of any who
differ with its dicta.
Yesterdays issue attempts by gar
bling and misstating to answer q re-
cent article in this paper regarding
Portland commission and custom
charges, and having assumed wrong
premises it complacently argues there
from, and winds up with a "there-
fore" The argument of the Oreg0-
niGn is about this way:
THE AsToRIAN made certain state
ments, which we partially ignore.
But no matter what The Historian
meant, we assume that it meant some
thing not manifest, nor on the sur
face. Therefore it ought to be
ashamed of itself. White is color;
black is a color: therefore white is
black"
To bestow time or space on such an
unfair antagonist as the Oregontdn
proves itself, would be futile.
THE Historian never retracts mol
denies: it takes nothing back. II
published in this regard certain state
ments. They were either true or false
They were furnished for information
Their source was plainly stated. Sc
far the Oregonian in its self-imposeG
task has failed to controvert them
There they are. What is the OTego
niGn going to do about it?
Let us concede for the nonce tha+
it is naughty of THE AsToRIAN to ap
pear six times week, and presumpt
uous on our part to discuss topics
that pertain exclusively to Portland
and sinful for us to doubt the infalli
bility of the Oregonia1l, or differ
from its ec cathedrG utterances.
But, in the meantime, there are
those figures: THE AsToRIAN says
they are furnished from an authentic
source. Does the Oreg0niG1a deny
them?
The Historian appeals from Philip
drunk, to Philip sober. When the
Oregonian RECEIVERS its sobriety, and
is no longer intoxicated with the effer-
vescence of its own folly it will be
ashamed of its attempt in yesterdays
issue to place this journal in false
light by unjust inferences and dis
honest Interpretation of its language.

Peter Lux, the Owner of Loraine's
 Masterpiece, Visiting in.th1s City.
 Peter Lux of Hartford with his wife and family spent Sunday in this city the guests of George E. Sheridan. A few months ago MT Lux was known to few outside of Hartford, but now he enjoys the national reputation due to the owner of one of the most valuable paintings i'll the world Last March while clearing out barn upon the estate of an English gentleman in Hartford, Mir Lux, who was in the secondhand furniture busi- ness discovered the picture which has made him famous. It was entitled "Sunset in Italy" and was by the cele- brated French artist Claude Lorraine, born in 1900. An offer of $5,OOO was offered for the picture but was refused
 by MT Lux, and experts were broug ght from New York who valued the paint ing at S1OO,OOO. People flocked from far and near to see the masterpiece and in five weeks it had been exhibited to no
 less than 10000 people. The former owners of the picture did not know its true value although it had been in the
 family thirty years and had
 been stored away in the barn where 1t
 was found by MT Lux.

Changes and Disturbances for the
 Month of September.
 Horace Johnson, the Hartford weather prophet, writes as follows
 From the 1st to the Sth, the earth will move through warm belt in its orbit. There will be high degree of tempera- ture, exceedingly warm during the days. There will be disturbance in the atmos- phere from the 7th to the 18th, which will amount to what should be termed an intermediate storm, after which the earth will pass into a cooler wave, which will occupy the space of from three to four days, when it will again enter the warm belt. From the 18th to the 18th, look for higher temperature. There will be a general '.crying for water" from the 1st to the 18th of the month. It will be dry and hot most of the time from the 1st to the 21st., From the 21st to the 25th, there will be great distur- bance of the atmosphere, which will result in great general storm. Again let me advise you to banish the idea that the sun crossing the imaginary line is the cause of a great storm. Look for a severe frost about the 27th nothing to fear until that date. September will be delightful month until the 21st.

Tho Vast Area Covered in the Nofthwese
 by These Disastrous Conhagrations.
 HELENA, Mont, Sept. 2.-Those who have never travelled over tho section of this country known as tho Northwest can have no idea of the vast area which the prairie and timber fires have cov- cred. Starting away up in tho British Columbia, in Koutanai country, four weeks ago, owing tc the parched condi- tion of the country. no rain of any con- sequence having falien for ninety days, the fire travelled with great rapidity, passing south through Montana and Idaho, extending into Washington and Oregon on the west then south again into Wyoming and Colorado.
 Montana, perhaps, has suffered the most, as fire ran long through the prairie country to the Dakota line, crossed the main divied of the Rockies, set the bitter roota efiame, worked into the mountains near Phillips. destroyed the timber and did great damage in the National Park. But if the prairie fires are disastrous the forest fires are doubly so. Granville Stuart, one Of the best authorities in Montana, estimates tho loss by these fires in Montana at s1OO, GOO day. Thousands of acres of virgin timber land have been denuded and thousands of cords of cut wood des- trOyed

NOT MURDERED AFTER ALL.

Missing Edward NJ. Andrews Said to
 be Living in Oregon.
 It is announced that Edward M. An drews, of Naugatuck, who was supposed to have been murdered in Florida three years ago, is really alive. One result of this news will be that his family will be asked to refund $2,OO0 insurance on his life which was paid over on the report of his death.
 MT Andrews was a graduate of Yale and veteran of the war. At Nauga- tuck he built several blocks of buildings and the opera house, and owned good deal of real estate. He also did consid- erable work in this city and built the Baptist church on Grand street. In 1885 he went to Florida and established the second largest sawmill in the state, on the land of Major Norris, at High land Park. The Business was not en- tirely successful and Mir Andrews raised all the money he could on his property at Naugatuck. In addition, his father i1l-law lent him large sums.
 His brother-in-law, H. R. Young, went to see him in Florida in January 7, 1886. On his arrival he learned that nothing had been seen of Andrews for a week or more. No trace of him was dis covered, and it was thought to be so con. clusively proved that he was murdered by colored men that the Masonic Mutual Aid association of Connecticut paid Mrs Andrews a S2, 1000 policy on the life of her husband. She turned the money oyer to Mir Maltby, of New Haven, to pay debt.
 Mir Andrews,it is now announced, has travelled in China and Japan and this country since he left Florida. It is said that he has settled in Portland, Ore. The discovery that he is not dead is likely tc lead to several lawsuits.

 UNIoNTowN, Pa, Sept. 2.--Interesting developments in the Dunkard Church squabble arc leaking out, notwithstand- ing the secrecy with which such matters are handled.
 Rev. Solomon Bucklew of Canton, H., who was on the last Investigating Com mittee, and Messrs. Baker and Cover, who made the charges of worldiness and frivolty against Rev. Johnston, and his flock were charged with conspir- acy but after short inquiry pronounced innocent. Rev. Bucklew says that Elder Johnston has since refused to salute his brethren with the "holy kiss." and this constitutes ono of the most serious charges against him. :,
 The committee also decided that sis ters ''who refused to put away their hats, plain or with feathers and ribbons, bustles, wearing of gold and founces, brethren who wear mustaches only, and standing collars, and other marks of conformity to tho world, shall have time until the next quarterly council to reform from such course or they shall be cast out.'

 Hanora McGrath. .jr., has brought suit against the Herald Publishing company for libel, placing damages at S5,OOO: The alleged libel consisted of,an article in the Sunday Herald August % seriously reflecting upon the plaintiff. The pa pers in the suit were drawn up by At torney B. J. Smith and served by Con- stable McGrath just before midnight Sat urday. The Herald people had been there before and when McGrath entered the office the doors of the composing room and press room were locked and the constable was only able to attach the office furniture. A keeper was placed in possession of the editorial room, but the paper was printed yesterday as usual.
 This morning Attorney kunkel of Thomaston, who appeared for the Her. aid, brought motion to dissolve the attachment upon the property and in stead give bond. Attorney Smith ar gued against the motion, but as McGrath failed to appear at the hearing Judge Cowell dissolved the attachment and accepted bond of $500 with Patrick Holohan and Thomas Howard as sureties.

The Terrible Fate That Overlook a

HARTFORD, September 2.-Michael Sullivan was struck by a train on the Consolidated road at Windsor Locks yes terday morning and literally cut to pieces. Sullivan had been spending the previous evening at saloon near the station and had drank heavily with several companions. He left the saloon suddenly and when his absence was discovered one of the men who had been drinking with him discovered that his pocket had been picked of $2 note and a ten cent piece. The money was found in Sullivan's pocket.
