1t is not through any righteousness
that the SIGNAL gives space to the
exposure of rascal. We challenge
the proof that we have ever uttered
abuse against any man; this paper
never has and never will say ought of
any person except that which is fully
justifiable in the eyes of all right
minded men. 1t is the duty of a
paper, when it finds by experience
that man is rascal and cheat, to
expose him. And speaking of cheats
reminds us that there is lank and
forlorn looking object in this COM
munity "a pitiable looking specimen,
by the way, who is that way only
because he hasn't manhood enough to
be man among mem who may need
little airing. You'd better come
around AL and settle your honest
dues like man as we have requested
you to do.
Last Sunday Geo. Alternately and
6-year-old son were coming to town
from Salubria, and coming down the
hill near Tom Pence's residence the
front wheels struck a chuck hole with
a sudden jolt which threw the boy off
the wagon to the ground. The front
wheel passed over him, breaking his
leg very badly above the knee, and he
would have been killed had not Mr..
Alternately succeeded in stopping the
wagon almost Immediately. Wher
he sprang off the boy was almos
completely buried in the dust and the
hind wheel was resting partially OF
the little fellows neck, and had thu
wagon moved six inches further lif'
would have been crushed out. AS
l is, it is very bad accident.

A man who met with shipwreck off the
coast of Cuba and had to take to an open
boat tells of the peculiar hallucination,
called by sailors the paradise craze, -
brought on by exposure to the terrific
heat of the sun s rays, says a writer in the
New York Tribune. He says: "The sea
appeared to be transformed into a mighty
meadow, bright with flowers and musical
with song of birds. Cool springs burst
from crystal rocks and trickled over gold
en- sands and men and maidens danced be-
meath the trees. They seemed beckOning
me to join them and / plunged over the
side of the boat into 40 fathOms of brine.
The bath brought me to my senses and
reached the Cuban coast more dead than
alive. The mania is of frequent occur
renee in tropical seas, and is often referred
to bY poets.

dealer in the state who buys every instru-
ment direct from the manufacturers. All
others buy from Portland or San Francisco
houses. Mr.. Johnston has Just delivered
two very fine pianos in Olympia, and will
deliver others soon. The great organ con-
test at the Unitarian church a short time
ago between Mr.. Johnston, of Tacoma, and

affair, the Johnston instrument proving
immeasurably superior in every respect. =
