The Grnnd Army Encampment.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. 26.-The twenty third national encampmsnc of the Grand Army of the Republic is to be held in this city the last week in August. The common council and citizens have already organized to receive and entertain in a manner equal, at least, to any other city in the past on . similar occasion. Heretofore some of the comrades who served heroicaliy and effectu- ally in the navy have had an impression that the Hand forces" received undue atten- tion, and carried of an unfair share Of honors at the encanlplnonts. No such criticism will be made this year. Tho naval battle in the harbor and in fuli view from the surrounding bluffs will be made a special and most prom ment additional feature, one that has not before been introduced. The committee in charge will spare neither effort nor expense to make it fully up to expectation.

Actors Deaths.

ACtOTD O0oI08s
 A thing that strikes one in the Coleman "reminiscences, says The Stage, is the tragic end of great tragedians. Edmund Kean exits in the middle of his greatest scene: Get me of, Charles; I'm dyingp Ills son led him oil, and all is over." G. V. Brooke goes down in the ship London, declining to quit his sister to save himself. !" No, thanks, lads, I can't leave my sister. When you get to Melbourne, remember me to the boyA' As they pulled of they saw him leaning over the rail, his bare feet padding in the rising waters, a sad, sweet smile on his face. " Charles Dillon, while laughing and talking in tho street, paused suddenly, put his hand to his head, as he was wont to do in Beverly, and e1claiming, God, can this be deathf dropped dead without a groan."
 Phelps, who had 0 superstitious horror of the word farewell" while acting Wolsey, and actually uttering the ominous words, "Farewelll a long farewell to all my great nessi" broke down, and the curtain slowly dropped upon him for the last time. Frodaham, the Garrick of the North, having surpassed himself in the part of Lord Townley in 'The Provoked Husband" came forward at its close to announce Its successor-"Ladies and gentlemen, on Monday evening will be pre3 seuted the tragedy of 'Coriolanus,' to which will be added" Cooking seriously round and placing his hand upon his heart, 'what we must all come to-" and never spoke again The Mirror

Missionaries Murdered.

ZANZIBAR, Jan. 25.-The Rev. MT. Brooks, an English missionary, and sixteen of his as- sistants and followers have been massacred near Saadani by some of the coast tribes and natives of Zanzibar. The massacre has caused a great sensation. The massacre shows the extent of the hatred to the whites that the Germans have aroused. Saadani has long been the starting point of European missions, the natives welcoming the mis- sionaries and assisting them. The question as to what measures England will adopt to punish the perpetrators of the crime is eagerly discussed here. It is thought the massacre was in revenge for the recent bonn bardment by the Germans.

Reduction of Wages.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Jan s6-The block cutters wages in both the large wall paper factories of this city will, at the begin ming of next month, be reduced 10 per cent. The reduction is made in accordance with an agreement entered into by the wall paper manufacturers of the United States, and wages will be reduced in like proportion all over the country. It is found necessary, it Is said, because of the low prices of block cut ting work in Germany. In order to keep the work here, instead of sending it to Germany, prices of work here have been lowered, as many New York firms have cut under by sending their work abroad

A Jump in. Oil.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-On was quite active yesterday, jumping up cents in the morn ing dealings to ss11. The advance greatly alarmed the shorts, and they covered heavily, amidst great excitement.

In order to get the latter to shut down the Standard originally gave them a ''call" on 4,OOO, 900 barrels at 6s cents This was about sixteen months ago, About oO0,000 barrels have since been sold, leaving 8 3,5OO, 900 barrels to the credit of the producers Now that the call has been extended and this block Is prac- tically out of the way, the bulls are again talking about $1 oil.

THE B0oM BY HIRE.


..Tell me not in mournfu. numbers, :
That the town is full of gloom,
For the mans crank who sluinbers,
In these bustling days of boom.
ellie is real, life is earnest, !"
And the grave is not its goal,
Every dollar that thou earnest
Helps to make the old town roll.
But enjoyment and not sorrow
In our destined end or way,
If you have no money, borrow,
Buy corner lot each day.
Lives of great men all remind us
We can win immortal fame,
Let us leave the chumps behind US,
Ard we'll ''get tncre" just the same.
In this worlds broad field Of battle,
In The bivouac of HE,
Let us make the dry days rattle
Buy a corner for your wife.
Let US then be up and doing
With heart for any fate
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Booming early, booming late.

BEeedin0 Rearu Horses.

An eastern journal has correspon-
dent who inquiries what the experience
he's been of those who have bred Per-
cheron, Clydesdale and Cleveland bay
horses to common mares. Oregon af-
fords much experience of this kind; our
ranges have been supplied with good
sires of those breeds to mate with very
common stock and even with small In
dian ponies and their grades, and the
result has been an improved lot of ami
mails for their progeny, much larger
than the dams and possessing many of
the qualities of the slres. w. G. Myer
of Jackson county, has made
thorough trial of breeding small mares
to large horses with entire success, as
the product is large and heavy horse,
strong even, if ungainly, that sells we'll
for heavy teaming purposes. Such an
imals will sell when smaller horses of
good build will not, as weight and
muscle are needed. A few crosses
with good sires will produce an inn
proved mare that is capable of pro-
ducing better stock that VIII command
a good price. The Eastern ranges of
Oregon and Washington are excellent
for horses, as the bunch grass is strong
and nutritious food that makes good
bone aud muscle. 1t is the surylvalof
the tittest on those ranges, for the
bands lange over 81 wide conttly aud
rush over the hills ut a break eek pace
that kills all that are incompetent.
Breeders use these horses, or good
grldes from them, with entire success.

The Baby Case.

The police officers have nothing new In
regard to the baby that was found in yard
in the northeastern part of town Wednes-
day morning and it is very doubtful now
whether anything more will be learned
concerning it. The theory that the child
was placed where it was found early in the
morning seems TO be wrong Mrs. Myers
son John says that when he returned from
night school on Tuesday evening he no
ticed white bundle lying inside OF the lot
at the place where the body was found, but
he did not think of making any eXalnina-
ton ut the time TO see what it was. Mr..
Myers says that when she found the baby
Il was not warm at all, nor did she ever say
30. She further states that If II had been in
that condition or had there been the least
sign of life she would have taken il into
the house and cared for it properly.
