The assault upon V. H. Igo men, toned in the PRosPEcToR last night, was committel three mon,hs ago, not three days ago. Igo claims that he never told about it as Scott told him he did that he would kill him, and repeated the threat at intervals. He thought best to wait and give the case ts the grand jury. Scott is reputed to have considerable money but refuses to employ a lawyer or ask to be re- leased. He wants to be tried at once and wants to plead his own case. He is no fool and holds certificate of the first grade in this county to teach, and has taught at the school in the Hua- chucss. He passed very creditable examination, All the witnesses in the case are in town and it is probable that the case will come mp tomorrow

An enterprising stranger came TO the
town, and easily persuaded Nathan TO
embark with him in a patent medi-

conner had plenty Of capacity, but no
ready money.
Nathan promptly supplied him with
this necessary article, and for about
two months took great pride in a gilt

that time, however, Sharp suddenly

could lay his hands on, and leaving

Enormous Prices Paid for Ordinary Fruit
in Oreson's Early Days.
Some very interesting information
concerning the early history Of fruit
culture in Oregon, and the fabulous
prices obtained for the product Of the
first orchids. is contained in an address
Of DR.. J. r. Cardwell. president Of the
Oregon state Horticultural society.
He recites that il wa in the summer
Of 1877 that Henderson Lewelling, Of
Iowa, brought across the plains several
hundred yearling grated trees-apple,
pear, cherry, plum, prune and peach
and several varieties Of grapes and
berries. To successfully transport
them they were placed in soil in two
large boxes made to fit a wagon bed.
They were carefully attended 10 and
watered until they were safely planted
on the bank OF the Willamette. near
the present village of Milwaukee, Clack-
amas county. This was the first Ore
gon fruit orchard, and really the nucleus
Of the great fruit interests which are
now such a source of profit to the horti-
culturists OF the state. a William Meek,
who brought a sack of apple seeds from
the east, formed "a partnership with Mr..
Lewelling, and together they started a
nursery in 1S4S. The next season year
ling trees sold at from 80 cents to 81
each, and the nurseryInen had more
customers than they could supply.
After a time Mr.. dwellings orchard
began 10 bear fruit which, DIR. Card
well says, was delicious and brought
exceedingly high prices, 81 per pound
being paid for the first apples sold.
The first box Of apples brought 10 Port

plethoric purses, bid high for Oregon

Of apples. securely bound with strap

TO protect the fruit from thievesl, were
shipped TO San Francisco and sold at

In 1854 500 bushels of apples were
shipped TO the Golden Gate, the sale
OF which melted h shippers from Sl.5O
to 81 per pound. In 1855 5000 bushels
were sold in the same market at from

were now bearing handsomely and the
export of apples in 1856 was 20, 600
boxes. This year one box of Esopus
Spitzenberg paid the shipper a net
profit Of $50, and three boxes Of wine
saps were sold in Portland for S1O2.
From this time on to 1869 the fall and

A touching incident occurred on
Blaekwell's island when the bell of the
new chapel was hung. IL was rung for
the hrst time TO test its sound, which is
peculiarly resonant and sweet. After
a few minutes trial the archdeacon,
who had ordered the bell to be rung,
sent word to stop the ringing, fearing
that it might annoy toe inmates Of the
almshouse. At this moment a lady
who had been visiting in the dOmi-
tories came out TO ask as a favor that
the ringing might be continued.
She said that many of the poor old
inmates had burst into tears when they
first heard the sound of the bell; and
they declared that it recalled to them
the blessed Sunday bells of childhood
in the home far away. The sweetness
Of that tolling bell seemed to send a
benson through those dreary wards

Christian comfort and aspiration TO the

MAGIC LANTERN WONDERS

Some Curious Things Developed by an

''The magic lantern was invented
hong before the development Of phOtog-
raphy gave it a practical value" said
M expert in sur picture making. Its
discovery is credited TO Athanasns
Kneher, who died in 1850, though as
sertions have been made that RogeE
Bacon, four centuries earlier, wa
familiar with it. There is no doubt
however, that for a long time after its
invention the magic lantern was TO
garded almost purely and simply As .

wizards employed the apparatus to
summon ghosts and do other tricks for
the deception of the ignorant.

The SiSaI Plant.

The leaves of the sisal plant are of o
dull green color, four to six feet long,
as many inches wide and terminated
by a stout dark spine. The margins
are commonly described as smooth, as
they are without teeth, but in all the
plants examined by the writer the
leaves were slightly rough on tlIc edges,
and in many Of the young plants some
of the leaves had well developed teeth.
A full grown plant presents a rather
striking appearance, bristling all over
with the long, spiny tipped leaves,
thickly radiating from the short cylin.

sharp, slender, coDelike bud. Indeed
a large plant makes one think of a gi.

and straight, never curving downward,
as they do in the century plant.

For instance, Monday is known in the

as many sandwiches arr sold then as

what is still curious, more corned

any other time. Saturday is deviled
