Creased Trousers No4 F.sAaen.sle.

The creased trousers have had their
day. The lesser swells have just begun
to emulate this fashion as it goes out of
favor with the tp-toppers. The fact
that various plebeian devices were re-
sorted to to secure an imitation of the
correctly creased effect, as for instance
by pressing the neither garments over
night between the mattresses, bereft the
fad Of its ezc3asiveness to the minds Of
the swagger set, and when it latter1y be-
came noised about that one object Of the
crease fold was that the trousers would
hold their shape longer, this was the
final strsw-for a true swell can never
be at comfort when abroad with badge
Of economy in his makeup. It is . curl

fashion never was made manifest in the

The G. A. r. Encampment.

The annual encampment of the e. A.
R., department of Oregon has met and
adjourned. A new set of officers has
been appointed and the department
headquarters held in The Dalles for the
past year is now removed to Portland
with o. Summers of 'tGeo. Wright"
Post No. L, department commander.
The past year has been the most pros
porous of any in the history of this de-
lied and there was net increase of nearly
$50 members as against 23S of the pre-
vious year. The order now numbers in
this state 23OO members. 1t is very
hattering to Ex-Department Command
er James A. Varney and Ex-Department
Quarter Master Gen. A. G. johnson to
note that during the year of their in
cumbency the G. A. r. experienced the
largest increase hitherto, and that they
were complimented by having organized
the best encampment and produced the
best reports of any previous year. As
toria did handsomely and nobly. AT the
banquet on Thursday evening pro-
gramme was arranged that would hav e
lasted week. AS it was the proceeding
didnot end till fewminutesbefore their
departure. At the parade Thursday the
beautiful sight of 400 school children
joined in the procession, together with
five companies of o. N. G. Two govorn-
ment steamers were placed at their dis
posal and carried the happy crowd out
to the end of the new jetty, one of them
going outside the bar. Then they were
placed on cars on the jetty and literally
run 'fout to the sea" on a'railroad. The
encampment meets at Salem next year,
and Salem will have to hustle to equal
Astoria. The delegation from this post
consisted of Department Commander ].
A. Varney, Assistant Adgt. Gen. Myers
and Mrs Myers, Assistant Quarter Mas

Both Mnyes and His Assis tant, Cham
bers, Succsmb to La Grippe.
MUscoGEE. 1. r., Dec. 16.-The reports
of the deaths of the two leaders of the
Cherokee nation has been fully confirmed.
Joel B.. Mayes, principal chief of the ma
ton, died Monday morning and Henry
Chambers, the second chief, also passed
away at Tallequah. The nation is there
fore left without a ruler.
Both men are understood to nave died of
la grippe, which is very prevalent in the
nation.
Both men have been very popular among
tn cir people and, although considerably up
in years, were hale and hearty upto within
q few days Of their deaths. The loss atthis
particular time is a great disaster to the ma
ton and will greatly delay much needed
legislation, the sale of the strip being one
of the questions now before the council,
which it was hoped would be disposed of,
and the cool judgment of Mayes, with his
great influence, would have greatly facili.
tated the closing up of the deal between
the United States commissioners now al
Tallequah aud the representatives of the
nation.
The Offices made vacant by the death of
these two men will have to be filed by the
council, and that body being largely Down
ing will, of course, elect two Downing men,
and one OF them will most likely be Tuhee,
who was defeated by Chambers. Henry
Chambers has held many positions Of
trust in the nation and was a leader il
politics. He was national treasurer fol
many years. Mayes was serving his sec
ond term as chief, having succeeded him
self at the election last August.

The Early Struggles and Triumphs OF tho

nv 1A8ANI
Distinguished Kansan.
Preston B. Plumb was born in Delaware
county, Ohio, Oct l2, 1887. 1t fell to his
lot to receive only a common school duca-
ton and when 70 years of age he entered
upon an apprenticeship in the office of the
Western ~Episcopalian at Gambler, o. In
1853, in connection with j. w. Dumble, he
started the News at Xenia, O.. He re-
named there until 1856, when in the early
spring he set out for the west, little dream
ing, probably, of the possibilities that lay
before him at the end Of his journey. Kan
sas was where he chose to stop.
Mr.. Plumb first located near where the
towh Of Salina now is, but afterward
worked for a short time at the printing
business in Topeka. During the winter OF
1867 he was foreman of the Herald OF
Freedom Office in Lawrence. His pre-
decessor in that position was Thomas A.
Osborn, subsequently governor and min.
lister TO Brazil.
In the spring of 1857 Mr.. Plumb was one
of five to lay out the city of Emporia, those
associated with him in the ownership OF
the town site being General G. w. Deitzler
G. w. Brown, Lyman Allen and Columbus
Hornsby, oil of Lawrence. Naturally he
was of the opinion that not even a tow
could exist without q newspaper, so he
started the Emporia News, the first issue
of which appeared June 6, 1857.
Mr.. Plumb took q prominent part in the
discussion of the questions which agitateC
Kansas in those anxious days preceding
the civil war and was a member of scvera
free state territorial conventions. He al
ways advocated the most radical measure:
of the anti-slavery party. He was elected
q delegate to the Leavenworth constitu
tional convention in 1858. Although on'
the youngest members of that body ht
was yet one of the most active and iniuen
tial.
Mr.. Plumb finally decided. to turn his at
