A special from Parkersburg, w. Va, says:
The Little Kauawha Valley is in mourn
ing. 1t has never known such devast ,tion
as that which the cloudburst Thurday night
wrought. 1t Is now known positively that
ten lives were lost in this aud Writ counties,
and ssveral parties ars reported drowned in
Jackson county. The drowned are. Mrs.
Isaiah Tucker, Edward Boso, Mrs. Isaac
,berts, Mrs. Orville West and two children,
john Bailey, Ray Kigers. wife and two chill
dren, and John Hughes and family, In Jack
son county, are among the missing.
1.-The little village Of Morristown, on
fuckers Creek. in Writ county, is ontirely
that creek is ia =. , OF help. The loss to
that nsighborhood Is. lot less than twenty
thousand dollars. IL q estimated that Wool
county has suffered no: less than five hun
dred thousand dollars damage. Every county
bridge south of the Little K,uawha river
bDt one is gone. a graf many families i'm

pended for good while, because of a break
in lock No. l, three miles above Parkersburg.
Most OF the timber that went out is being
caught, but the lunbermen will lose heavily.
The Little Kanawha packets were not lost
as reported, but saved themselves by cutting
loose their harScs. Tho farmers OF the val.
ley are the heaviest suffers Many OF them
especially on Lee Creek, State Creek, Pond
Creek and fuckers Greek, have lost every
thing.
The cloudburst occurred on Limestone
Mountain, Wood county, where the five
creeks that were flooded have common source,
ami from where they take their course I'm as
many different directions. The damage to
crops was inestimable, and tho farmers will
be dependent upon charity until next season.

COMPOSITE POLITICS..

SOMETHING new is promised In Oregon
politics by the formation of party
which has not vet been given name, but
which may respectfully be called the
composites.
There was a preliminary meeting OF
the representatives of the various ele-
ments of the proposed composite party
at Salem last Saturday and the idea pre-
vailed to have convention in that city
on the l4th of next month.
The idea seems to be reform, and the
party will probably be named the union
reform party by those who are in it.
The intention is to consolidate all the
floating elements of probable political
strength; the prohibition party; the
grange; the Knights of Labor; the Fed
Grated Trades; the union labor men, etc
The further idea of the conference il
stated to be:
To consider the practicability of the
union of all the above named reform
forces, and of all citizens not identified
with these organizations, but who are II
favor of better government in political
party that shall pledge itself for the set
tlement Of the great questions now press
ing for settlement by legislation, and OF
all kindred questions that may arise; and
if such consolidation is agreed upon, to
adopt platform and to provide for thor.
ough county and precinct organization
of the state preparatory to the nomina
tion of state and county union tickets.
1t will be interesting to note the prog
ress of this party, the assimilation OF
the various differences and the final eff
fort on the part of politicians and ambi
tious Office seekers to use it as a means
of furthering personal ends.

TIE supreme court of the United States
thus defines gambling contract. A con-
tract for the sale of goods to be delivered
at future day is valid, even though the
seller has not the goods, nor anv other
means of getting them than to 60 into
the market and buy them. But such a
contract is only valid where the parties
really intend and agree that the goods
are to be delivered by the seller, and the
price paid by the buyer. If, under the
guise of such contract, the real intent
be merely to speculate in the rise and
fall of prices, and the goods are not to
be delivered, but one party is to pay to
the other the difference between the con-
tract price and the market price of the
goods at the date fixed for executing the
contract, then the whole transaction con-
stitutes nothing more than a wager, and
is null and void under the statute.

CREAMERIES IN OREGON.

ASTORIA people have often of late years
eaten nicely tasting butter in wooden
pals from Iowa. and Illinois, made in
creameries In these states, and the nat
ural inquiry has been, "Why, with our
genial climate, in this natural dairy
country, wouldn't it pay to have cream
cry here?' Other communities have evil
IDENTIFY asked the same question, for in
several places in Oregon and Washing
ton creameries have been established.
1t is with surprise that The Historian
has from time to time noted that cream
cries so established have been abandoned,
because they didn't pay" Just why
they don't pay is the question. One
would think creamery would be good
paying institution in western Oregon,
where COWS don't have to be wintered,
and where A l butter brings forty cents
pound the year round.
If Iowa, and Illinois, where the people
have to work hard seven months in the
year to keep from freezing the other five,
can manufacture good butter and sell
it here at profit at thirty cents pound,
it looks little singular that Clatsop
or Yamhill or Polk county creamery
should be failure.
A gentleman in conversation with the
writer yesterday made a remark that
throws little light on the matter.
He has Just returned from a visit to
southern Michigan, and being close OBJ
server was telling about industrial con-
ditions there.
Said he: "The farmers are selling
their land for what they can get. The
stock business has passed into the hands
of men like Armour of Chicago, who sell
dressed meat in every little town cheaper
than the local butcher. The milk bus
iness isn't what it was. AS long as
creameries paid cent pound there
was little in raising COWS for their
milk producing qualities, but half cent
pound is the best price now paid for
milk in southern Michigan creameries,
onO 1uCLO 10 AO AhOAO9 III 1ul ulonlhB
milk at that price"
Half a cent a pound for milk! No
wonder they can make butter cheap!
Milk costs four cents a pound-eight
times as much-in Astoria.
The latest Oregon creamery to suspend
is the one at McMinnvilIe. The cream
cry paid twenty cents pound for cream.
The men who raised and fed and milked
the cows thought that twenty cents
wasn't enough. The proprietors of the
creamery thought, at last, that it was
too much.
A Michigan man offered half cent q
pound for his milk, if able to get 20 cents
a pound for cream at his door, in a coun
try where his COWS could run the season
through, would think he was doing a
land Office business.
A creamery in any natural dairy coun
try like any western Oregon county, il
rightly managed, couldn't help paying.
Thorough bred milch COWS, great mill
producers, owned by the proprietors o.
the creamery, where butter and cheese
were made, and hogs fattened, the whole
business superintended by competent
intelligent and experienced men, vii
yet make the creamery business finan
cial success in Oregon.

Unjust PuniS hment.

Well does the writer remember the
case of parent who whipped his little
daughter, attempting to overcome in
this way her whimsical terror of the
dark when left alone at night. The
poor little maid sobbed herself to sleep
that night.
But the next evening, Sfve minutes
after she had been left alone. with the,
to her, fearful darkness, her terror
overcalne her dread of punishment,
and piitful little voice was heard at
the head of the stairs:
20 papa, please COME up here and
whip me! I'm SO 'fraid Of the dark ~
This convinced the father that the
child's terror was more than whim,
and he deeply regretted his hasty pun
ishment, which was never repeated.
The following incident, related by a
father, is Of the same nature:
81 shall never forget, though I have
wished q thousand times that 1 could,
how I punished little Mamie for con-
tinually pronouncing word wrong
as j. thought .willfllly-after 1 had
tried hard to make her say it correctly.
She was quiet for few moments after
I punished her, and then she looked
up with quivering lip, and said:
Papa, you will have to whip me
again. 1 can't say it,"
"You can imagine how I felt, and
how kept on remembering the look
OH her face and the tone of the sad lit
tie voice" - Youths Companion.

Seeding is Never it Order.

Many a father who will not strike
his child feels free to scold him. And
scolding mother is not always deem
ed the severest and most unjust OF
mothers. Yet, while it is sometimes
right to strike a child, it is at no time
right to scold one. Soolding is, in fact,
never in order, in dealing with child,
or in any other duty of life.
To ''scoldn is to assail with noisy
speech. The word itself seems to have
primary meaning akin to that of
barking or howling. From its earliest
use it has borne bad reputation. In
common law, "a common scold" is
public nuisance, against which the civ
il authority may be Invoked by the
disturbed neighbornood. And it is
true to-day as it was when spoken by
John Shelton, four centuries ago, that
"A sclaunderous tunge, a tunge of n skolde,
Work eth more mlschiefe than can be tolde.'
Scolding is always an expression of Il
bad spirit and of loss Of temper.
This is as truly the case when lovely
mother scolds her child for breaking
his playthings wilfully, Or for soiling
his third dress in one forenoon by
playing in the gutter which he was
forbidden to approach. as when one
apple-woman yells out her abuse Of an
other apple-woman in a street-corner
quarrel. In either case the essence of
the scolding is in the multiplication of
hot words in expression of stroug feel
ings that, while eminently natural,
ought to be held in better control.
The words themselves may be very diff
ferent in the two cases, but the spirit
and method are much alike in both.
1t is scolding in the one case rs in the
other; and scolding is never in order.
If child has done wrong, a child
needs talking to; but no parent ought
to talk to child while that parent is
unable to talk in a natural tone OF
voice, and with carefully measured
words. If the parent is tempted to
speak rapidly. or to multiply words
without stopping to weigh them, or to
show all excited state of feeling, the
parents first duty is to gain entire self
control. Until that control is secured,
there is no use of the parents trying to
attem ut any measure of child-training.
The loss of self-control is for the time
being an utter loss of power for the
control of others. This is as true in
one sphere as in another.
