STATES RIGHTS.

The Chicago organ ofthe wholesale
liuuor trade sends us u cartoon rep
resenting Uncle sam chastising
Iowa and Kansas for refusing to
abide by the original package decis-
ion, which is filling those states,
which had outlawCd the saloons,
with original package stores, where
liquor is dealt out 10y the barrel or
bottle i'm violation of state law.
The cartoon represents ihat those
states in refusing to recognize the
validity of this supreme court dccis-
ion are in the same attitude that was
taken 10y the slave. holding states in
rebeling AGAINST the Rational au-
thority.
In their ease they asserted -ia'cs'
rights to uphold an evil. In the
case NJ Iowa and Kansas those states
assert the right of the slate tc put
down great evil. The southern
states claimed states rights to carry
oD slave holding and slave-breeding
and extension Of slavery into the
territories and free states, Iowa
and Kansas claim the right to sup
press the traffic in iuioNicants with
in their own territory, which the
original package decision of tie
supreme court virtually denies.
Is there not n difference here? Is
not the argument against the
Southern states, that upheld a wrong
by the assertion of the same doc
trine that the northern states assert

THE OUTLOOK GROWS BETTER.
Oregon Will Maintain Her Reputation
for BOuntifuI Yield Of Natures
Substantial Gifts.

Following are the pleasing tidings
given out in the crop-weathcr bull
letin 10y Oregon weather bureau for
the week ending Saturday, July 3:
The extreme heat of the fore part
of the week did little injury to crops.
The weather during latter part of
the week was very beneficial to the
growing crops Fall wheat is now
generally past the point that the
weather could injure 1t. Spring
wheat is doing remarkably well,
and If no unforeseen causes interfere
the yield will be much greater than
anticipated. The warm weather is
beneficial to coru which is growing
we'll.
Columbia county reports hay n
fair crop, Oh uplandS very good; in
Washington county hay is an aver
age crop; in Clackamas county fall
wheat will be ready to cut inside of
two weeks, crop will hc an average
one or more, spring wheat and oats
growing well; in lamhill, Polk,
Marion, Benton aud Lane wheat
outlook is very promising, spring
wheat will make more than was eN-
pected, corn, oats, hops and hay will
average well Goblin moth doing
some damage. Fall wheat will
soon be ready to cut, heads are well
tilled. In Douglas county good
crops are now assured. Josephine
and jackson counties will have fair
cereal crop. Fruit crop will be
large, except lpeacher; melons
promise to be plentiful, berries are
in abundance. Clatsop, Tillamook,
Coos and Curry counties will have
very good crops, fully up 10 the
average.
Hay is quite generally reported to
be short in Western Oregon and to
bo an average crop in Eastern Ore
gon. Wasco county has indications
of better wheat crop than for
years, the same for Morrow county.
Sherman and Gillian counties re-
port average crops. In Umatil'a
and Union counties reports Indicate
"a yield of from so to 80 bushels per
acre. Wallowa, Baker, Crook.
Grant and interior counties bid fair
to make average or more than aver
age yields. The pre- eut outlook IS
most encouraging for fine harvest

She Had Visited Rome.

The friends of pretty young girl in
one Of the suburban towns are telling
under their breath the follow story:
The young woman, who is noted for
her pretty face and winning ways rather
than for her gifts Of mind, has Just re-
turned from a personally conducted
tour of several months in Europe.
and YOU visited Rome OF course. "

A Strange Story.

] B. Toomer recently told the
Athens (Ga.) Banner the following
story taat is as singular as it is in
teresting:
About five mile from Aiken, S. c.,
on the Charleston dirt road, and in
sight of the railway, is a little place
that was first christened Pole Cat,
but afterwards changed to Mont
morenci, the French for that odorous
little animal. Many years ago a young
woman came with her pitcher to draw
a bucket of water from a well at Mont
morenci, and set the vessel on a stone
post that some of the railroad men had
moved there While drawing the
water flash of lightning came that
struck the chain to which the we'll
bucket was attached and the woman
was killed in her tracks. Her remains
were removed, but the pitcher was left
just where the dead girl had set it. To
this day the pitcher remains in the
same place, and so far from being re-
moved it is said that no living hand
has ever touched it save its owners, al
though near the side of the public road.
But the most wonderful thing is the
superstition to the pitcher There is
an Undesirable influence surrounding
it that prevents its touch. Hundreds
OF people have gone with the firm de-
termination of lifting the pitcher, but
when they approach it strange re-
pugnance comes over them and they
hurriedly depart without carrying out
the object of their visit. One night
bully in the neighborhood, while under
the influence of whisky, made a
bet with some friends that he would go
and bring back the pitcher. He left to
DO so, but soon returned as pale as a
sheet and empty-handed. Boys" he
remarked, mo person alive can lay
hands on that pitcher, and | wouldn't
attempt it again for the whole of Aiken
county" He refused to tell his ex-
perience, and said that he would not
talk about the matter. Other parties
have gone to see it, but meet with the
same repulsiye feelings. AS soon as
they would step off few feet the SEN
sation would leave them. Parties have
frequently amused themselves throw
ing stones at the pitcher, and when
almost in its reach the missiles seemed
to glide around it.
Mr.. Toomer tells us that the other
day when he passed this spot with his
wife he got out and tried his markham
ship with brickbats. and, while pretty
accurate thrower. ne met with no sue
9ess-that he had as well try to knock
down a sunbeam with a rock. Mr..
Toomer further stated that he had been
passing this pitcher for years. and al
ways found it in the same place on the
post. Before reaching it he would firm
~ make up his mind to remove the
vessel, but when he approached it he
experienced the same repugnance to
touching it as an uncanny object. The
old we'll from which the dead girl was
drawing water has long been filled up,
and no signs of it remain. Mr.. Toomer
is an entirely reliable gentleman.

Mormon Tithing Scrip.

If you 90 into the principal office of
the tithing-hOuse, says a Salt Lake
City letter in the St. Louis Gi05e-Deml0-
crat, you will see a tall, young man
handling what looks like money. He
is behind a counter and the counter is
protected by high railing, The man
glances through the window, then looks
down at the bills, and goes on thumb
ing them like a bank teller. He goes
to and from a big safe, carrying bum
dies done up just as bills are, with lit
tie bands OF brown paper pinned about
them. Sometimes the young man
doesn't stop to count but takes the
amount on the brown slip as correct
and passes out the money. This is
Mormon money. 1t is the tithing
scrip. 1t is used to facilitate the hand
ling of the grain, and hay, and live
stock. aud produce which come in. If
you pick up one of these bills you will
lind it very much like bank note in
appearance. In one upper corner is
the number of the bill. In the lower
left-hand corner is the in hoe signo Of
Murmouism, beehive.
The face of the bill reads: "Gen-
eral tithing Storehouse. Good only
for merchandise and produce at
the general tithiug storehouse, Salt
Lake city, Utah. Each note bears
the signature of the presiding bishop.
On the back is the denomination again
and vignette of the new temple at
Salt Lake City. The back also bears
the wording: This note is not cur
rent except in the merchandise and
produce departments Of the general
tithing storehouse.' The engraving is
well executed and the printing is well
done. The bills vary in color. There
are greenbacks for one department of
the tithiug house, brownbacks for an
other. aud SO on. BY using this scrip
the church is able to create q market
for considerable quantities of the tith-
ing. The scrip IS given out in dis
peusing charity. 1t is used for paying
for work on the temple so far as the
workmeu can make use of it. En-
pIoyes OF the tithing house receive their
salaries of allowance partly in scrip.
