track down Front street. The COM
pany cannot blame anyone in this
matter, as its representatives were
present. when the council met and
fully consented to the terms of the
ordinance. To ask the cOuScil to go
back on this was to invite it to break
faith with the citizens of Front

will now be complied with without
further dispute.

NEW ORDINANCES.
For construction of sidewalk on
east side of lot s, block 4, University
add. Read twice and referred to
committee on ordinances.
For new crosswalks on principal
streets of Salem, not included in
present ordinances, and assessing
about $1,000 therefor, Read twice
and referred to committee on ordi-
nances.
The paving ordinance was taken
up on third reading.
Gray moved reference back to the
city attorney with instructions to so
amend as to not require any cross
walks or cutters.
Brown said good cutters and
crosswalks were the best features of
the ordinance and he opposed.
Johnson spoke against the amend
nent. The council had cut down
the paving order from twenty-five
10 twelve blocks to meet the objec-
tious of the conservative element.
The gravel ordinance was conces-
sion to the property owners and
enough time had been consumed to
have had the streets paved. He
hoped there would be no more de-
lays.
Gray spoke earnestly for his
amendment. Residence property
would not stand the same expense
for these cement cutters and cross
walks that business property could.
Brown said that owing to light
grade of our streets a smooth gutter
was necessary. He wanted the
streets improved and there was no
use delaying the matter any longer.
The motion to refer with instruc-
tions to strike out crosswalks and
cement cutters was carried A to 4,
the mayor deciding for reference.
The ordinance to allow the rail-
road down Front street to be grav-
eled in place of being planked was
placed on It's passage. Ayes: Gray,

CALIFORNIA; COYOTE LAW.
Evil Results of Measure for the Bene- fit of sheep owners.


 California's coyote bounty law, which was passed in the winter of 1S90- 9l for the benefit of the sheep-own- CTS, and which went into operation on the following May is operating in a manner that is filling the taxpayers and the fruit-growers of the state with dismay, says the New York Evening Post. It provides that for each coyote killed S5 shall be paid out of the state treasury to the person presenting the scalp to the clerk of the board of su- per7isors of each county. Although only eleven of tifty-four counties in the state had been heard from, the claims of bounty aggregated July II. $l0, 800. A banking firm in Tulare county which had not yet reported, notified the state comptroller that 1t held claims for i. 900. Were all these claims based on the scalps of coyotes killed in California the case would not be so scandalous. But it has been learned that enterprising Californians are importing scalps from Arizona, New Mexico and Lower California. A customs inspector on the lookout for Chinese on the Mexican frontier re- gently seized package of fifty coyote skins that the owner was trying to smuggle into the state. 1t is learned furthermore that the bounty has called into existence new and profitable industry that of breeding coyotes. As female coyote can pro- duce three filters of seven pups each a year, she Is worth something like $500 to her owner. But this is not all the evil of this ridiculous piece of legisla- tion. One of the most serious pests the California fruit-grower has to con- tend against is the rabbit which is particularly fine tidbit for hungry coyote. Consequently the extermina- tion of the coyote for the benefit of the sheep-owners of half dozen coun- ties will be followed by such an in- crease of rabbits that the fruit inter- ests will suffer seriously This with thousands and thousands of dollars that will be paid out for bounties dur ing the two years that the law has to run, has aroused the press of the state, and there is a universal demand that an end shall be put to the evil at the earliest possible moment.

days we consider silk none too good to line gingham. The tucked chemisette and the long sleeves are of silk also, For the trousseau of Miss Sallie liar gous, who is to be married at Newport shortly, there was ordered this week so simple a thing as white foulard sprigged with fuchsias.

 Another foulard has also white ground, but is spotted with black and sprigged with pink-tipped daisies. The bodice is drawn to the waist in plaits, but the cardinal feature of the dress is it's festooned heading of pink and white ribbons about the hem.

ENCOUNTER WITH BRUIN.
Ercsl, from the
Thrilling Hear
New Jersey Mountains.

The woods are full of bears and hardly day passes without some woodsmen bringing carcass or fresh bear skin to some of the stations along the line of the Ulster X Delaware railroad, says an Adeville, N. l., cor respondent. The latest exciting ad- venture with bear occurred few days ago when Warren Enderly, . woodsman living over on the Millbroo . mountains, came near losing his life Enderly was in the woods peeling bark nearly on the crest of the mountain. At noon he sat down upon an old hem lock log to cat his lunch. when sud denid he was seized from behind. pulled over the log, and thrown upon the ground. He then and there made the unpleasant discovery that he had intruded upon the privacy of m old she bear and that she had resented it by knocking him off the log.
 As he went over Enderly yelled for Spot, big bull terrier, which had ac- companied him into the woods. Spot had weakness for hunting wood- chucks on his own account, but when his master called him he broke through the brush and sailed into the old bear, which was standing over his master. While the rumpus was on between the bear and the dog Enderly hastily rolled out of their way and seized his sharp ax. Making blow at the bears head he on inflicted bad cut in the shoulder, causing Bruin to leave his canine antagonist and turn again on his human foe.
 Tho brute forced the fighting and, coming to close quarters, clawed En derly over the breast and shoulders in the most frightful manner. The woodsman fought desperately, but could not reach vital spot in tho breast with his ax. After protracted and severe bombardment by Spot on the rear of the bear, she turned on him again, giving Enderly chance to get in a telling blow with his ax. He struck for keeps" this time hitting Bruin in the neck near the left fore shoulder. nearly severing the head from the body and killing her.
 After he had killed the bear he ex amined the ground about the log and found in cavity underneath two young and frisk cubs These he took home with him, intending to raise and tame them. The old she bear was full of fight, but thin, weighing only i3o pounds. Endcrly said she would have weighed at least 200 pounds if she had not been killed until fall, after the beech and chestnuts were ripe. He sold the hide for S to a peddler who visited his house the day after the brute was killed.

DUDLEY THOUGHT ALOUD.
Peculiar Adventure of an Earl in a Car
 riage.

The habit of talking aloud was pe- culiarity of one of the earls of Dudley. and of this habit an amusing aneedote is told in the Sheffield Telegraph. Lord Dudley being invited to the house of friend, had ordered his car riage at an early hour, having some miles to travel before he could obtain his accustomed repose, To his nor ifcation, after repeated inquiries for Lord Dudley's carriage, It had not arrived.
 One of the guests seeing how much his lordship was disconcerted, by tho event very politely offered him seat in his.
 The gentleman in question had to pass his lordship's house on his return home and, though he was almost q stranger to Lord Dudley. his rank and position in the country, were of course, well known to him. Nevertheless, they had not been seated in the car riage more then twenty minutes when the peer. who had up to that moment maintained most perfect silence, ob- served in low but distinctly audible tone of voice:'
 I'm very sorry l accepted his offer. I don't know the man. It was civil, certainly; but the worst is, sup pose must ask him to dinner"
 He then lapsed into his former state of taciturnity, when after few min utes, the gentlemen, pretending to be afflicted with the same failing and i'm itating his lordship's tone, observed:
 Perhaps he'll think l did it to make his acquaintance. Why, Iwould have done the same to any farmer on his estate, l hope he won't think it necessary to ask me to dinner, for shan't accept his invitation" Lord Dudley listened to him with earnest interest, immediately com prehended the joke which he himself had provoked offered his hand with much hearty good will to his compan. ion, making every proper apology for his involuntary rudeness, and from that night the travellers became in, separable friends.

pocket check books to women. Wise women ask for the regular size. It saves trouble in keeping an account and 1t impresses the cashier
 Before making first deposit she should count bills and specie and enter the amounts separately on the deposit slip. If checks are to be deposited the amount of each should be entered separately below the entries of bills and specie.
 The indorsement of checks is wo- mans stumbling block. If check is to be deposited which is payable to you your signature on the back is all that is necessary, but if you are send ing 1t to the bank by messenger, or if you are indorsing 1t at home before starting it is well to place over your own name the words: For deposit" Then. If it is lost stranger will have trouble in cashing it.
 If the check is payable to somebody else, as to Mary Smith. for example. Mary Smith must indorse it before she can turn it over to you. If your name Is Ellen Jones. have Mary Smith. who may be paying you for board or for making dress place above her name the words: Pay to the order of Ellen Jones. Then if you lose it the finder cannot cash it without your indorse- ment. When you deposit a check Of this sort place your own name on the back below that of Mary Smith.
 When your deposit is ready, hand it, with the pass book, to the receiving teller and examine the book when it Is returned to you to see that his entry corresponds with the amount you have given him.
 It is a good idea to fill out two de- posit slips. one for the receiving teller and duplicate slip for a personal memorandum. On this duplicate slip 1t is plan often followed to place the name of the person who signed any check included in it, as well as the date and amount. This will be useful fl at any time a check you have re- coivcd proves worthless.
