The man who ran the locomotive off the |

Lewiston Teller: The rainfall increases |
each week. Already the ground is In bet |
ter condition than at any time within the |
past three years. The encouraging outlook |
will greatly increase the confidence of the |

little fear of a crop famine in this locality. |
A million and half of bushels of wheat can |
be sent to market from Lewiston ware
houses if rainfall is but average from now
till the crop is made.
The Statesman directs attention to the |
fact that about so per cent of the notaries

sion recorded by the county clerk, in the |
book kept for that purpose, paying a fee Of |
81 therefor. The county clerk is authorized |
to certify as to the official character of such |
notary public. No penalty is attached for |
failure to comply with the provisions of this |
act !
A blush has been defined by scientists as |
''a temporary erYthema and calorifc efful- |
gence of the physiognomy atiologized by |
the preceptiveness of the censorium when |
in predicament of unquIlibrity from |
sense Of shame, anger or other cause, event. |
uating in paresis of the vasomotor capil- |
lares, whereby. being Invested of their elias
ITCHY, they are suffused with radiant,
aerated, compound, nutritive, circulating |
cordia." This Is the reason that the young |
ladies of The Dalles are afraid to blush, be- |
cause of the dreadful consequences.
