Reading the journal.

One morning, in the Kentucky
house of representatives, the usual
motion was made to "despense with
the reading of the journal" 1t had
been observed that every morning when
this motion was made a certain mem
ber from one of the mountain counties,
who was very fond of reading George
d. Prentice's pungent paragraphs, and
who bought copy of the journal every
day, would lay down his paper unread.
On this particular morning the noun
tain member could contain himself no
longer.
'Mr. Speaker" he said, "Tve sat
here for more'n week and submitted
to the tyranny of this house, but /
can't stand it any longer without sol
emn protest, sir. Somebody, sir, has
moved every morning to dispense with
the reading of The Journal, and I've
lost every paper I've bought for week
by it. Nobody has ever moved to dis
pense with the reading of The Democrat
or The Courier. 1t amt fair play, Mr..
Speaker; it amt just, and"---
The remainder of the gentleman's
protest for fair play to The Journal
was lost in a general burst of laughter
such as rarely 4ightened the gravity of
a border state legislator in those troub-
lous days, Youths Companion.

HE FOnNp IN.
Of City Offielal WhO
Was a Little Previous.


In clearing up the prosecution by
the city that grew out of the street
car franchise war the city attorney
took the position in Justice Apple
gates court, that the Salem Street
Railway Co. had never filed an
acceptance of its charter aud hence
no rights, property or hereditaments
in the city, and the Justice dis
missed Mr.. Crossan upon that
theory. The street car company
men were infuriated at the strange
position of the city official. They
knew that proper acceptance had
been filed, investing its money and
operating the road at loss for two
years was an acceptance in itself.
When the trial of Superintendent
Miles aud his men before Recorder
Goodell came on the company relied
upon its double acceptance of the
charter and the city officials were
in a dilemma.
"We can prove that an acceptance
was filed and it will be better for
your reputation to look it up than to
force us to do So" said President
j. @. Wilson, when the city attorney
again entered his plea that the char
ter was forfeited for non-acceptance.
And it was looked up and-found.
And the cases against the company's
men were dismissed quickly enough,
leaving the attitude of the city
attorney before Justice Applegate
rather novel one.

VIOLENTLY INSANE.
A Gervais WOman'S Dangerous Plight
Sent to the Asylum.

1t required a straight jacket, a
deputy sheriff and three men to get
Mrs. Ellen Manning into an anbu-
lance this forenoon and convey her
to the asylum. 1t required mere
glance of the county officials Bird
and Smith, to declare her insane
without.a lucid moment. Singing,
dancing, frantic efforts to embrace
everybody, and an attempt to leap
out of a court house window were
among the lunatic diversions she
afforded the bystanders. The un-
fortunate woman has suffered from
what the doctors term puerperal
mania, for a month past, caused by
premature childbirth. Her age is
about 81, and her home is near
Gervais.

THE FRUIT GROWERS. - Fruit
growing interests were never more
brilliant than at present for the en-.
tire Willamette valley. The quar-
terly meeting just held at Newberg
was the most enthusiastic gathering
ever assembled in the cause of horti-
culture in Oregon, 25O being in at
tendance. 1t was a great success,
and far different from the time when
IL was difficult to muster bakers
dozen at the state horticultural soci-
ETY. meeting. The time will come
when the state will have to recog-
nize the fruit growers and spend as
much money on them as it does en-
couraging horse trots. All young
orchards are in much better shape
Than was thought would be the case
in the spring. The late rains have
caused nearly all backward trees to
start.

A dignified bishop Of the Methodist
Episcopal denomination came to this
city from q western state few days
ago and put up at hotel near Madison
square. After he had eaten breakfast
on the morning after his arrival he
went to the Office of the hotel and
asked to be directed to the Young Mems
Christian association building at Twen-
ty-third street and Fourth avenue. The
clerk told him that the green cars going
down Broadway and through Twenty
third street would take him right there.
The bishop, however, said that he
wanted to walk, and he had been in
formed that the Christian association
building was ''just across the park"
eyes, that is so, " answered the clerk,
briskly. you cross the park diago-
nally, and any of the 'sparTows' over
there will point out the building to
you"
''The what" asked the bishop.
''The sparrows, the sparrows," re-
peated the clerk.
do you mean to say that they have
trained birds over theref' said the bish-
op, in an incredulous tone.
1t took the hotel clerk five minutes
to convince the dignified bishop that
the term sparrow" was commonly APP
piled to park policeman, and it took
another five minutes to explain to the
good man that the vulgar New York
gamins had originated the appellation
to express their conviction that the
park policeman's chief occupation was
the chasing of sparrows. New York

TWO CHARITY CASES.


A poor carpenter by the name of
J. s. Lowrie from near Central
Point, Southern Oregon, brought
his wife to Salem on the morning
overland to have her leg amputated.
She is suffering from white SWELL
ing and unless operated upon will
lose her life. The family emigrated
from Idahe and took up claim in
the Rogue River valley, where Mr.
Lowrie left his camp in charge of
four children. The authorizes of
Jackson county declined to help as
he had been there long enough to
gain a residence. So he came to
Salem to gain relief and was before
the county court this morning. He
is unable to defray the expense of
amputation, medical treatment and
nursing. Under liberal laws Oregon
has been made the dumping ground
for care of insane, manned and de-
fective classes from several states.
This woman will have to be sent to
the poorhouse, or be forwarded to
the hospitsl at Portland, in either
case as a state charge,
ANOTHER CASE
belongs to Salem. An application
for relief was also made to the
county court this morning in behalf
of divorced woman, with several
children. A JOURNAL reporter
found her in one of the small un
painted cottages on Trade street near
10Th, East Salem. Her distress has
shattered her mind to some extent
and while temporary relief from
the county has been afforded this is
an urgent case for good people to
interest themselves in.

OREGON TO THE FRoNT.-In an
editorial article on the need of re-
form schools, the Oregonian of
Wednesday speaks of this state. 1t
says: Another is a reformatory
institution, for which we have laid
no foundation whatever. The Wash
ington legislature established such
an institution at it's last session, and
10 has already erected buildings at
Chehalis and begun its work; but
Oregon, much older state, has done
nothing whatever, despite the fact
That the necessity for taking action
of this kind has again and again
been made apparent by the records
of our courts of justice" Oregon
has not only laid the foundation for
a reform school, hut has one already
built and about ready for occupancy.
The Oregonian is more behind the
times than Oregon is. Perhaps the
fact that the institution is located at
Salem has something to do with its
professed ignorance of such an in
stitution.

THE CAPITAL MILLS.
TO Be in Running Order in Sixty
Days, Railroad Extension.

Messrs. Ladd & Wilcox, of Port
land, are registered at the Hotel
Willamette today and have been in
consultation with contractors and
local representatives all day as to ex-
pediting the re-opening of the big
Capital Mills.
A JOURNAL reporter was intro
duced and the gentlemen courteous
ly gave all the desired information
that concerns the public IN the least.
The mills are under contract to be
opened in sixty days, and will be
run to fnll capacity. An outside
manager will arrive within two
weeks, Mr.. Spillane to be head
miller.
The S. p. switch is to be extended
to the mills down on Front street,
where the company has right of
way, thus giving the company rail-
road facilities for receiving and dis
wheat and flour. The
boats will be used when needed,
and there will be no difficulty in
keeping the mills running night
and day.
Mr.. II. b. Holland, of the Salem
FIGURING mills, is empowered to
close a contract to clean out and in
part reconstruct the water race clear
to the Santiam, which will be done
at once. Salem people will be
pleased to learn that the mills are TO
be operated even sooner than they

KILLING IL Wild Beast Which Was the
Talk of India Ncwspapors.


killing IL Wild Bsast Which Was tho
Talk OF India Newspapers.
It is well known that about twenty
five thouscnd people n year fall q prey
to the wild boasts of India. The larger
part of these victims are killed by tigers
and vcnotnous snakes which arc met in
the Jungle. AS rule, says the Chicago
Herald, the victims of these tragedies
arc guilty of great carclcssness. With
care the danger of wild beasts might,
in the majority of these cases. DO
avcrted.
An animal which has for some months
been written about IL great deal in the
Indian newspapers has at last sue
curHbcd, having met his wcll-dcscrvcd
fate on juno Z. He proved to DC full
grown leopard, probably about four
years old. He had lurllcd around tho
villages in the edge of the jungle for
months watching for his prey, and ut
least fifteen people were killed by him,
including several adults as we'll rs chill
drcn. 1t was hard work to kill him,
and nc hurt three people badly before
he was incapacitatcd for further harm.
This is the way he met his fate:
lie had been lowering round n camp
of Busahiri during the night of June s,
but was kept off by five large sheep
dogs. In the morning of the eth wom-
an saw him in some long grass near the
bungalow, and taking him for largo
Jungle cat after tho fowls ran after him.
lie charged her, striking her on the
chest, and seized her by the arm She
struck him over the head with heavy
stick, and, other people coming up, the
leopard let go and ran into IL garden
near the bungalow. The woman was
found to have two claw wounds on her
chest and six deep bites on her left arm.
by this time some twenty persons had
assembled, and went into the garden in
search of the beast. a sycc in the scrv-
ice of the assistant commissioner de-
ciarcd he believed it was only iacllal,
but the words were hardly out of his
mouth when the leopard, which had
been hiding under Il stone, charged
straight Mt the sycc with roar, knock
ing him down and wounding him badly.
lie was badly clawcd on both arms, be-
hind the right car, and bitten on the
scalp, and would certainly have been
killed had not Il man named Nazina run
- 'Iiitt VII iNth al iloB spear cteln through
the leopard's body. The brute LETT the
syce, and tried to work itself up the
shaft of tho spear to get ut his now as
sailant. but it only succeeded in tearing
his clothes, Naaina escaping unhurt. a
mistri ran in to club it, but got clawed
on the chin for his pains, Nuzina hold
ing on his spear all the time. BY this
time the others, who had boltcd when
the leopard charged, returned, and the
leopard was dubbed to death.
