The progress, history and elements
Of Salem's growth and prosperity
have been faithfully chronicled in
these columns.
In the world at large the past year
has been a wonderful one in many
respects. The year 1891 has wit
messed the first successful executions
by the electric current, system
that is certain to displace the bar
barities of hanging as The latter
displaced beheading with axe and
block. In the year just past there
have appeared on the floors of both
houses of congress the representa-
tives of the new peoples party and
in more than half the states of the
Union a complete organization of
that party was effected. Tue first
practical results were attained in
rain making during the dry season
on the arid plains of Kansas and
Texas. Great progress has been
made on the Nicarauga canal. The
year was remarkable for casualties
on land and sea and deaths of prom
inent persons in all lands. The
crank of the Guiteau type has been
more numerous than ever before, as
witness the assaults on DIR. John
Hall with a pistol as he was enter
ing the church. the attempt TO
dynamite Russell Sage; even Presi-
dent Harrison has been pursued by
lunatic. Train robberies and
wreckings have been unusually
frequent.
Losses by fire have been very
numerous and footings of the dam
age by destructive element amount
to enormous sums. Work hal
begun on the utilization of Niagara
falls for water power.

AT THE PRISON. - The free enter
tainment at the states prison con-
Quoted by prisoners on Wednesday
evening was enjoyed by about five
hundred people and they seemed
taxed to the full extent of their
capacity for genuine innocent pleas
ure.' No one enjoyed it more than
the prisoners, who furnished a full
orchestra, minstrel olio, dancers,
vocalists, Irish, Hebrew, Yankee,
Dutch and African comedians. The
program was not over until near
midnight. The electric cars were
kindly run until all were safely
home. In spite of the storm the
attendance was so large as to inter-
fere with attendance at the alumni
concert. 1t was a happy evening
for the prisoners, who in the fore
noon had entertained all the con-
victs in the same manner.

THE JOURNAL is verv well sati-
fled With the result of its own labors
and at the glorious holiday time it
has not a particle of ill-will toward
anyone in this world. Its success
has stimulated others to seek to
enter the field which it occupies.
1t has no rival in the good will and
affections of the people of Salem, as
hard work to upbuild this city
wins such favors. 1t is not enyious

A HAPPY NEW YEAR,
The Journal Comes to You With the
Greetings Of the Season and Wishes
You all Health, Wealth and
Happiness for 1892.

Finis 1891!
The year closed has been one of
partial depression on the Pacific
coast, and a rough, disagreeable
winter has deepened the impression
somewhat.
We enter upon 1892 with brighter
skies in sight. Business is stiffening.
More real estate sales are chrouicled
for December, aud all are not in,
than for any month of the year.
We may well believe that the COM
ing year will see more dirt change
hands at Salem than any year In
the past by far. The next advances
in property at Salem will be big ones
and will be advances to stay.

EDWIN BOOTH A SICK MAN.
Excessive Smoking the Cause OF III. Ill.
moss.

Dispatches from BuZZard's Bay stat
ing that Edwin Booth was badly broken
in health through overindulgence in
smoking, while shocking the general
public, were not surprise TO many OF
the tragedian's professional associates
For the last two years it has been an
open secret among Mr.. Booths inCimates
that his physical condition was such
that collapse might result at any mo
ment Last summer while visiting Mr..
Jefferson at the Bay he became so weak
that he could walk only with the aid of
q cane, and was constantly in Communi-
cation with his physician. During his
last tour, which was brought 10 an
abrupt close by the death Of Lawrence
Barrett, he was frequently I'll, and his
vitality decreased TO such an extent that
his acting was materially affected
The death of Mr.. Barrett was great
shock TO Mr.. Booth, for the ties of ar
tistic and personal friendship which cx-
listed between them were exceedingly
strong. 1t deepened the cloud which
had settled upon the tragedans spirits
The recent publication of the wretched
Augusta De Lnnoir story was brought
TO his attention and added TO
his mental depression. Mr. Booth has
always been a more than moderate
smoker, but of late years the habit
has rapidly grown upon him. During
the present summer he has prac ii
cally lived with cigar in his mouth.
The effect upon his health has been
marked and Immediate Mr.. jefferson
argued with him persstcntly, for at one
time the comedian was himself victim
of the weed, but by determined effort
of will stopped the use abruptly. This
Mr.. Booth Is not able TO do. A mental
depression now exists TO n greater degree
than ever before and several severe
nervous arrangements have resulted

HE'S A MURDERER.

Ohio, Jury.

At Columbus, Ohio. the long. anxious
wait for the Elliott verdict Is at an end
The jury announced that William ]. Elliott
had been found guilty OF murder In the
second degree for the killing OF Albert O.
Osborn on tho 23d of February.
When these words were spoken Elliott
pulled his Grand Army button from the
buttonhole In the lapel OF bis coat and
threw 1t viciously at the jury. BY the
laws OF Ohio murder I'm the second degree Is
punishable by life Imprisonment, tho court
having no alternative In the matter. Notice
of q motion for now trial was made and
30 sentence was not passed. ElIiott's crime
was the direct result OF personal journal
ism. Osborn one OF the murdered men,
was tho proprietor OF the Sunday World,
while the Elliotts published the Sunday
Capital The editors gave a great deal
Of space In their respective sheets
TO personal abuse of each other.
While the streets were crowded with spec
tators of the Washing tons birthday parade

upon Osborn with revolver, and, standing
over htIn. shot him TO death A bystander,
Mr. Hughes, was shot in the eye and killed
by stray bullet, and two others were

How Some Queer Fish Dine.

The carp carries his teeth back in his
throat, so that when he has a sore throat
he does not know whether to send for
the doctor or tho dentist. He resembles
the COW In the respect that he chews his
cud. 1t is pity that some Of the other
virtues of the COW do not also pertain to
the carp, for he would be much more
useful fish If this were SO, although II
would not be possible for him to give
milk, as does our good bovine friend,
owing to the certain destruction OF every
drop of it by the river in which he lives,
and which, as many of the readers of
this paper know, is full of water.
The horseshoe crab chews its food
with its legs, which Is very curious
thing even for crab to do, while the
oyster feeds with its beard. The oysters
would starve to death if they had to
wait Is long as little boys and girls do
for their boards to grow but fortunately
they have to do nothing of the sort, al
though, TO tell the truth, the oysters
beard is hardly more perceptible than
that of the smoothest- faced little boy or
girl in the world.
The jelly-fish hasn't any teeth, but
uses himself just as if he were piece of
paper when he is hungry, getting his
food, and then wrapping himself about
it. The starfish, on the contrary, turns
himself inside out and wraps his food
around him, and stays that way un-
til he has had enough. The prongs of
the starfsh look like teeth, but in reality
they are not, being nothing but orna-
ments to his person.
These are but small proportion of
the queer things about queer fish, but |
think we have learned enough TO make
us all glad that we are what we are, and
not fish, especially about dinner time. -

POOR LOS MUSTANG.
Horses Were Introduced in America
by the Spaniards.

The Indian horses of the mountain and
plains tribes were originally Of that wild
stock once found in vast herds oil ovef
the intracontinent region, and which had
their beginning from those that strayed
from the Spaniards in old Mexico, as
there were no animals OF that character
on the continent until the Spanish con-
quest, if we except an extinct species
found only as a fossil on the plains of
Kansas. These were geological speci-
mems long before the advent of the In
dian and of such remote age as TO be-
wilder the mind in its contemplation.
Even until the middle of the
eighteenth century the indians of the
country east of the Mississippi used to
laugh at the white man, who could not
walk but must ride horse. The Indian
thought nothing of keeping up dog
trot' all day, making his fifty and sixty
miles during that time.
The wild horses of the American con-
tinent once roamed from the border of
old Mexico as far north as Lake
Winnipeg, says writer In the Kansas
City Star. Twenty-three years ago
there were great many wandering over
the broad, grassy bottoms of the Cimar-
ron, in southwestern Kansas; perhaps
they are not all extinct yet.
All the wild horses that | have ever
seen were of small stature-pony built
in every instance-but possessing won
derful amount OF endurance "a tough,
hardy animal, well fitted to perform the
peculiar duties the Indians demanded Of
him. The savages are very hard on their
animals, and unless their horses are con-
stitued to Give on cactus and drink the
green slime Of the buffalo wallows" they
would have become extinct, probably,
long ago. When caught young they are
easily broken, but If taken at an adj
vanced age they arc perfectly incorri-
gible.
remember one that used to do duty
on the old stage line between Ellsworth
and Sterling, about seventeen years ago.
He WAS the most vicious brute it has ever
been my fortune TO see. Whenever it
became necessary to shoe him he had to
be knocked down with an ak, and before
he recovered his senses tied, and only in
that condition would the blacksmith
dare approach him. His endurance was
something marvellous his driver, the
only man that could do anything with
him at all, tried for years to wear him
out, but without success, and he sue
cumbed at last only to old age. l have
| ridden behind him many time, but in
momentary expectation of having my
brains kicked out or dashed to pieces
whenever he started. down hill. His
bones lie bleaching somewhere on the
divide between the Smoky Hill and the
Arkansas.

Character in the Ears.

"Did you ever notice how carefully
stock dealers examine the ears of horses,
cattle and sheep" queries the 81. Louis
Globe Democrat They do it to get an
idea of the quality OF the animal, for
good blood never goes with bud ear.
The same thing is true of men, and a
banker who knows anything about ears
knows also that there are two kinds that,
to say the least, will bear Watching.
The ear that runs down into the check
with almost no lobe at all, is suspie-
ious organ, and quite as bad In another
way is the ear that runs to sharp point
at the outer and upper corner French
detectives call the irst the thief's ear,
and the second the cor of the usurer.
