A Des Moines Qowa), letter relates
the following incident: An accom-
plished young lady of Des Moines
made call upon somebody the other
day, and she avows she passed a very
delightful afternoon. Who the per-
son was that she called on she does
not know. All she knows is that she
started out to call upon somebody
else, and by mistake she got into the
wrong house, where she met with a
very cordial reception from a young
lady who evidently knew her very
we'll. This young lady rushed up to
her when she entered the door and
told how awfully glad she WAS to see
her, calling her by name. She also
entertained her guest 80 pleasantly
and everything appeared to be so
agreeable all around that the latter
did not have the heart to break the
spell by asking who her unknown
friend was, and the unknown friend
never knew that she was not known
to her guest.

THE EIGHTH poRrEoL1n

WASHINGTON, Feb 11.-Some friends
of the agricultural department bill
have been startled by the fear that
the president may veto it. Their
fears which, however, may not be well
founded, are based upon the fact that
the bill has been sent to the attorney
general for an opinion as 10 its CON
stitutionality. When Randolph Tuck
er was chairman of the judiciary
committee and this same bill was
being considered in the house he at
tackled its constitutionaiity, and it is
not certain what Garland's opinion
may be. If he should decide ad-
versely to it veto is not improbable.

WHARF BOAT SUNK.
This morning at 6 o'clock the O. r.
q N. Co.'S wharf boat sank while
moored to the Albina incline. She
had five hundred tons merchandise
aboard. consisting of sugar, agricuI-
tural implements and large stock of
wines and liquors. 1t is not known
what the nature of the leak is. or
where it is located. but it must have
been large one to permit such rapid
sinking. There was nothing for the
boat to have struck, hence the sink
ing was due to the unsoundness of
the hull. Men we're put to work ear
ly this morning to remove all freight
that sank with her, and although She
lies in about fifteen feet of water, ey.
erything can be got ont OF her with
ont much trouble. A careful esti-
mate places the loss at S25,OOO all of
which will be borne by the company.
