Another Fish story.

They had been spinning yarns OF
fishing and hunting, when it came to
Babley's turn. "well, boys" said
Bailey, ''the strangest experience l ever
had was when l was away last vaca-
ton. | had tried every kind of flv,
aud il was no good. Did not see fin.
Then / dug around and got some
grubs aud tried them, but did not get
a nibble. | concluded that the place
was fishcd out aud l might as well
haze lunch. So / took out my paper
of sandwiches aud pitched in. When
| got through eating | rolled up the
paper into a loose wad aud ierked il
out into the water. As soon as the
paper got wet through it began TO un-
roll. and in minute the place was
alive with fish swarping about the
paper. / jumped up, threw out my
line, hooked the paper and drew il
ashore. Then an idea struck me.
slipped the paper over the hook right
up TO the shank and threw IL out as IL
| was fishing Up came the fish,
jumping clear out OF the water, and
caught 'Cm as fast as could take them
If my hook. kept that up till dark,
and then / had more fish than / could
carry" '.What do you suppose there
was about the paper that drew the
fislf?'' asked AN interested listener.
''Well,n said Bailey, slowly, as he
edged toward the door, ''the only thing
about that paper that could draw, in
my Judgment, was an advertisement

MONTAGUE'S COLUMN.

Montague has the pleasur,
of announcing that his nam.
moth stock is now being re-
plenished with new goods
weekly--his large and in
creasing sales requiring a con-
slant supply of new goods.
His prices will be so low that
for self preservation close buy
ers who pay on the spot for
their purchases will necessa-
rilv do their buving of him.
Montague keeps 10 old
stock When, as is the case
sometimes, any article is slow
of sale, that article is at once
marked down, regardless of
cost, and let go for anything
it will bring. This method
insures us a nice fresh stock
at all times to select from.
When you want any goods
look through Montague's
mammoth stock, price his
goods and be convinced that
this establishment is up with
the times. And here in Leb-
anon you can get goods just
az low as you can in any town
in the State of Oregon.
1t is to the interest of every
person to patronize their
home merchants. The fact is,
a town without merchants
would be a very singular one
in any country, and yet every
town is blessed (?) with a few
people who always work
against their own and their
neighbors' interests by advo-
eating some other place as a
better one than their own to
do their trading in. Lebanon
is not entirely exempt from
those who ought to be loyal To
and work for the upbuilding
Of their city, but who are un-
fortunately quite the reverse.
Much capital has already been
driven away from Lebanon by
this course, and many CON
templated enterprises that
would have enhanced values
in this vicinity have been
abandoned through the ma
lign influence of chronic
eranks. Let us all work to-
gethcr for our own homes and
our own people, and the day
is not distant when we will
have as prosperous an inland
town as there is in this State.
Merchants here in every line
Will sell you goods as low as
they can be sold anywhere.
They are always with YOU to
help TO assist in every public
enterprise. Montague voices
the sentiment of the mercan-
tile community of Lebanon
when he SAYS that he will sell
YOU anything that you want
from his mammoth stock at
the lowest living ratesA His
stock is a very large one, and
the goods must he sold. Drop
in and be convinced. There
is no good logic in building up
other cities at our own ex-
pense.
The farming community
understand their own interests
well, and they know that to
make their land valuable and
sought after by buyers good
prosperous town in their
vicinity is just the thing to
attract newcomers, and they
almost universally patronize
their home towns. Our inter
ests are identical. Let our
motto be, Home against the
world"

Hoodoos.

A Chicago lawyer has explained to
Chicago court that hoodoo Is
something which pursues man with
misfortune, much in the manner that
wheelbarrow makes its haunting
presence known for weary while to
the unfortunate person who has
stumbled over it in the dark. This Is
not happy illustration. To stumble
over a wheelbarrow is doubtless, per
picking, painful, maddening. But
there is nothing weird, uncanny, or
baleful about such an experience. Ii
is simply piece of plain unvarnished
misfortune. which can be explained
by the laws of gravity. On the one
hand, hoodoo is something which
skaters natural laws in order to
work harm.
A man who has been hoodooed
finds that all the forces of nature are
in active conspiracy against him. Ii
he goes out to borrow money his
pocket will be picked and none of his
friends will lend him a cent. II he
goes on a journey the railroad train
will run off the track. If he rides or
a cable car he will get stuck in the
tunnel. In a word. he is hoodooed
Some people would call the outward
manifestation of hoodoo mere bad
luck. But the adept in hoodoos car
observe an important distinction be
tween the too. The spell of tht
hoodoo must be broken by an incan
| tation, while bad luck will simply
wear itself out. There are two ex
cellent preventives for hoodoos. One
is to get mascot and the other il
to decline to be hoodoO.

Parnell and "The Times.1

The Parnell commission, which has
now been in session for several months,
investigating the charges made against
Mr.. Parnell in the famous articles on
&" Parnellism and Crime" published in
the London Times, has at last reached
the vital point in the case-the authen-
ITCHY of the letters alleged to have been
written by Mr.. Parnell Upon this
question depends not only the result of
the investigation, but the future of the
home rule cause. While there are
several minor points at issue, yet the
real interest in the trial centers in the
letters. A failure to establish the GEN
uineness of the signatures and the
trustworthiness of the parties from
whom the correspondence was obtained
will prove fatal to the prosecution. On
the other hand, if the defence can show
the signatures to be forgeres, Mr.. Par
nell is indicated before the bar of
public opinion, whatever may be the
decision of the commission on other
points of law involved in the case
Upon this issue the testimony of the
past week has had a direct bearing.
The history of the letters has been
traced and much light thrown upon the
manner in which they were procured
by the Times and upon the reli ability of
the informers in whom the manager of
the paper coniided.
The first witnesses called were Mr..
Soames, the solicitor of the Times, and
Mr.. Mcdonald, the business manager
of the paper. Both gave testimony
damaging to their own cause. 1t ap-
peared that the paper accepted the let
tiers, without attempting to trace their
history, upon the assurance of an ex-
pert that the signatures were genuine.
Their manner on the stand was Hurried
and uncertain, Mr.. Mcdonald, in par
ticular, making a most pitiable eXhibi.
ton of himself under the fire of cross
examination. The man from whom
Mr.. Mcdonald obtained the letters
was Mr.. Houston, secretary of the
Irish Loyal and Patriotic Union. In
him Mr.. Mcdonald blindly confided
Houston in turn placed his confidence
in one Richard Pigott, whom he EN-,
ployed to ferret out the letters. Hous.
ton, according to his own statement
was in search of evidence that would
connect Parnell and his associates with
political crimes. In his search for
proof of such connection he was evi.

Divorce Statistics.

Largely through the efforts of Rev.
S. w. Dixie, LID, secretary of the
National Reform Divorce League, con-
gress more than year ago passed
law authorizing the collection of stats-
tics throughout the United States re-
lating to marriage and divorce. The
carrying of this law into execution was
put into the hands of Colonel Carol ID.
Wright, commissioner of labor, a man
eminently qualified for the work. He
has just submitted to congress his first
special report, giving tabulated statistics
of marriages and divorces in all the
states for term of twenty years, from
1867 to 1886 inclusive. For lack of
complete and uniform system for the
registration of marriages and divorces
in the several states these statistics are
not perfectly complete. They include,
however, reports regarding divorces
from ninety-siX per cent of the counties
and ninety-eight per cent of the popula-
ton. They show that during this
period there has been great increase
in the number of divorces, both abso-
lutely and relatively to the number of
marriages. BY dividing the twenty
years from which the statistics were
gathered into four parts of five years
each, in the first quarter there were, in
the whole country, SO, 574 divorces; in
the second, 6S,5i7; in the third, 49,
2S4, and in the fourth, III, 81, making
in all 32S, ZIG divorces. An increase is
seen in every state in the Union except
South Carolina, which has no divorce
laws.
In the New England States the rela-
ton of the married to the divorced will
be seen by the following statistics
taken for the year 1880: In Connect
cut, for III $3.50 married couples, there
were granted that year BAG divorces, or
one divorce for every $40 married
couples; in Maine, with l22 GAS married
couples, 600 divorces were granted, or
one to every 20l married couples; in
Massachusetts, with 337 ,003 married
couples, there were 800 divorces, or one
to every 566 married couples; in New
Hampshire, with 65, 4Sl married couples,
there were 1852 divorces, or one to every
lS6 married couples; in Rhode Island,
with 81, 26l married couples, there were
pa divorces, or one to every 100 married
couples; in Vermont, with G2,S02
married couples, there were 1873 di-
vorces, or one to every 455 married
couples. In the whole country the
ratio of the increase of divorces in 1887
over those in 1876 was 1869 per cent.
