Armstrong. and BOOTH.

DR.. Armstrong. who died in Atlanta a
few days ago of apOplexy, led peculiar
ly romantic career For yearS he fur
nished newspaper correspondents with
material for wild stories, and numerous
efforts were made to.prove that he was
identical with j.. Wilkes Booth, who as
sassinated A5raham Lincoln James H.
Payson, of Sidney, o., whois in this city
at present, knew Hmm intimately in for
mep days. and in referring to the matter
said
DF. Armstrong spent several years in
Sydney asa United Presbyterian preach
en- and was noted for his eloquence and
for the theatrical methods which he
employed in the pulpit During the war
he mysteriously disappeared, but came
to tine front few years later as an Epis-
copal clergyman.
He continued in the latter capacity
until made the subject, of two assaults
by persons who belieEedl him to be j.
Wilkes Booth He then went to Cincin-
natl. where he achieved through the
newspapers an unenxiable notoriety. For
ten years nothing has: been heard from
him by his old associates. There is no
doubt that he bore u, remarkable resem-
blaznce to the assassin of Lincoln. He
hInped with his right leg and wore long,
black hair. which those who suspected
him claimed was utilized to conceal a
scar resulting from wound inflicted by

Ecclesiastisal wheat Fi.Ia,.

Some months ago Presiding Elder F.
A. Burdick called meeting of all the
Methodist pastors of the Aberdeen dis
trict in South, Dakota and put before,
them the plan. of sowing acres of wheat
for the liquidation of the church debts.
The pastors took to the idea, and after
talk with their people found the farmers
would furnish the Land and do the work
if the church would furnish the seed.
The general societies of the church.
which have, their headquarters in the
east, then took hold of the NJ er. and
shortly announced that the money for
the seed should be forthcoming.
The Rev. Mr.. Burdich said: 1--WE, hope
to have at least forty acres of wheat on
every charge in the Aberdeen district,
and on some as many as sixty. AS a
matter of fact the church at Bath has
already started the ball rolling with
sixty acres. The income from this source
will be applied altogether toward the
payment of church debts, and l conf
IDENTIFY expect to see several cleared away
before another winter. Cor. Minneap-

RECIPROCITY.

If the reciprocity scheme authorized
by the last congress should ever produce
half the results which its admirers ex-
pect it to do the commercial industrial
and shipping interests of the United
States will receive stimulus such as
they have not known for many year.
Already" we are informed, 1.-The great
manufacturers and merchants in New
York, Chicago, Boston and other large
cities are sending trusted agents to
South and Central America with in
struction to examine the fields which
are to furnish Uncle Sam with new
markets and to bring back the fullest
possible information regarding the wants
OF our southern neighbors.' As soon as
these wants are fully known measurers
will be at once taken to supply them,
and Postmaster General Wannamaker
is preparing plans for securing the SER
vice of lines of fast steamers as soon as
they are needed for the anticipated trade
manufacturers and shippers will soon
issue illustrated catalogues of the goods
they have to sell printed in Spanish, the
prevailing language of the southern con-
tinent. With the enterprise peculiar to
the Yankee genius arrangements are
being made to advertise in the local
southern press and recommendations
are already offered to the effect that the
study OF Spanish shall be adopted in all
the commercial schools in the United
States. The benefits to be derived from
an exchange of products with the south
ern republics will be pretty evenly bal
anced. They have much to sell us that
does not come into competitions with the
products of the United States, and these
will be admitted into our ports duty
free. On the other hand we produce
many things that South America needs
and these will be admitted into southern
ports either free or at such tariff re-
'duction below that on similar products
of other nations that the United States
will have practical monopoly. A |
country in which hog meats sell at from
80 to 20 cents pound, butter at dollar |
a cake, and wheaton bread at 30 cents
for a bakers loaf should not be bad |
market to send our farm products to- |
A country that has no farm implements, |
and scarcely any manufactures that it |
does not import, should, under the reci- |
procity provisions, afford fine market |
for our machinery and manufactures. |
We should be much disappointed if this |
reciprocity scheme does not prove to be /
the most profitable piece of legislation |
this country has received for many years. !

Helplng EleetrIe Car. uphlll.

At Seattle there is about to be put into
operation novel method of running
electric cars up steep grades. The
electric railway there has a very
steep grade about 800 feet long. and
it has been found that the motors
on the cars are inadequate to sur
mount the hill. To correct the difficulty
a small conduit about two feet square is
constructed. and in this is to run small
car as counter balance. Two ropes
will be attached to the counter balance
car at the top. When an. ordinary car
is attached to the rope the counter bal
ance car runs down the hill, but when
the car reaches the top of the hill it runs
down on the other side, and aided by, the
motor, it pulls up the counter balance
car which is now ready to take up an
other car.-Boston Transcript.

Secretary Tracy is deserving of great
honor for the effort he is making to re-
form the navy yard abuses and take
those government institutions out of
practical politics. The manipulation of
the navy yards in the interest of the rul-
ing political party has always been scan
dalous, and the effort of this republican
secretary to put stop to this abuse, in
the face OF strong opposition from the
spokesman of his party, is deserving of
all honor, and there is no true democrat
who does not wish him success in his
arduous undertaking.

A QUESTION FOR SINGLE TAX
MEN.

The assessed value of all taxable
property in Wasco county is in round
numbers 81, 10000 Something like
million and half of this sum repre-
sents real property. The remaining
million is personal property. 1t requires,
let us say, $62, 800 a year to run the
county or twenty-five mills on every
dollar of it's assessable property. Now
if the single tax system would reduce
the taxes on the farmers and land-hold-
ers will some single tax theorist explain
how the thing can be done? To an
ordinary mortal it would appear that if
the amount required to run the county
levy must be raised from 25 mills to
over II = mills: In other words every
hundred dollars worth of land that now
pays tax of two and half dollars,
would, under the single tax system. pay
over $4.16. The millionaire whose
now but he would pay nothing then at
all, and as taxes are necessary evil the
poor mans farm or residence lot would
help to make up the deficiency. Will
some advocate of the single tax theory
tell us how a $62 800 tax can be raised
off 81 100000 worth of real estate with a
smaller levy than % mills, when it
takess25 mills of every dollar of two and
half millions of both kinds of property
to raise that amount? When this done
the CHRONICLE will become an advocate
of the theory.

SHAK'N DICES., ,,

A Little Game That Smacked of Old
Time Prosperity.
a well-known downtown business
man and a prosperous city granger,
both of whom are somewhat noted for
their ''sportive" proclivities, are said to
have become involved in a sensational
sort of dice game late on Tuesday night
in the rear quarters ofa cigarstand.
AS tall oaks from little acorns grow, so
tall stakes often result from very small
ones, and the story is that in this case
they hoped up pretty lively until big
money was at issue on a single rattle OF
the dice-boX. The bucolic sport, as the
story goes, finally undertook the her.
culean task of beating three fives, at
what is known as poker dice, for 500 a
clatter.
OF course there could be but one result
to a proposition of this kind, and in a
rather brief fspace of time the gentleman
who backed the negative side of the issue
was some 5000 ahead of the game-that
is, he would have been that much ahead
had the coin been in sight, but it wasn't,
and as his adversary has declined to
pungle, it looks as if he will have to keep
on taking pictures for awhile longer.

Bernard Arnold is, as Stated, With q
Surveying Party.
1t has been quite conclusively settled
that it was Ed Neal who was hanged in
Omaha couple of weeks ago, and that
Bernard Arnold still lives. A Sacra-
mento lady week ago informed the pub
lie through the REooRD-UNIoN that when
she was in San Diego during the summer.
young Arnold was there and about to
start out with a surveying party.
This statement is now confirmed by the
San Diego papers, which state that Ar
mold is still out with the surveying party,
and that Henry Ryan, a young man from
Sacramento, is in charge of the corps.
The only thing, it appears, that could
have connected young Arnold with the
Nebraska murderer, Neal, is the fact that
both were beardless and wore spectacles.
