In electricity we have an all pervad. ing force of which we are ordinarily unconscious, violent and startling as are its occasional effects. So in the region of mind we may have effects rare and strange as are the slow moving iireball, or the lightning Hash from an uncloud- ed sky. Under peculiar and rarely oc- curing conditions, as yet but imper- fectly known, certain mental influences predominate. and mind perceptibly acts on mind. Black woods Magazine.

Miners supsrstitions are pretty well illustrated on the Anaconda miue, where there is an excitement over the report that the spirit of Michael Cliff ford is having things its own way un the 700-foot level of the mine. So great has the tsmerity of the men work ing on this level become that the su- psrstitious have refused to work there on. Those who claim to have seen the apparition say that in addition to strange noises being heard on the 70 Q foot level, the spirit psrehes itself on the timbsrs in the stopes and gives or ders as to the manner in which the work IS to be performed Mike Chl- ford was at ona time foreman of the mine, but last winter he dled of pneu- monia.

Special Agent Seavery, according to
instructions from the commissioner of
the general land office, has investigated
the matter of setting apart suitable
number of sections of land around the
the base of Mount Hood for public
park and is prepared to make a favorable
report, and "all that is now needed" says
the Oregonian sis a recommendation
from some respectable body of citizens to
back up that of Mr.. Seavery." As Mr..
Seavery goes to Washington in a few
days, where he would give the matter
personal attention, it would surely not
be out of place if the republican state
convention, that meets in Portland on
the 9th would pass resolution making
the recommendation required.

1t Was Hot.

Some wretch, who evidently delights
to see mankind sweltering in perspira-
ton, played rascally practical joke on
about two hundred passengers who were
in the waiting room of the Staten Island
ferry. For some reason, the arrival of
the long expected boat was delayed; the
crowd was therefore large, and as the
night was intensely warm, the atmos-
phere in that close room was not only
enervating, but distressing. The weather
was unanimously voted to be the warm
est of the season-hot enough to parboil
a Hottentot. It was then discovered
that the Turkish bath temperature had
been caused by practical joker, who
had unfeelingly turned on the steam
heat.-Yankee Blade

STATE OFFICIALS.
1t now appears that the prohibition

1t now appears that the prohibition
party of Multnomah county will have to
do the business of nominating county
ticket all over again. Section 81 of the
Australian ballot law provides that can
didates must be nominated in one of
three ways. One is by a convention of
delegates representing a political party
which at the election next proceeding
polled ut least 8 per cent. of the entire
vote cast in the state, precinct, or other
electoral district for which the nomina-
tions were made. AS the prohibition
party had no ticket in the field in 1890.
the convention which met in Portland
last Wednesday had no power to make
nominations under this provision.
Neither had it power under the provis-
ion that allows an organized body of
electors, numbering not less than 100, to
make nominations, as there were only
so electors in the county assembly. 1t
appears that the convention in question
acted illigally in delegating, the work of
nominating county ticket to COM
mittee which had not completed the
work when the convention adjourned.
AS leading men of the party in Multno-
nah county have announced their de-
termination to place full county ticket
in the field it is quite likely that another
assembly of county electors will be called
: together to do the work.

hibition or high license is again lifting its head
from one end of the state to the other. How
can we best avoid it? Simply by voting the re-

Orders From the Home Government For

New YoRK. Aug pa special to the Times
from Chicago says that Sam Moy. prominent in
the Chinese colony there. surprised government
officials by informing them that orders had been
received from China not to obey the law re-
quiring Chinese residents to take out certificates
of residence
He said the government of China h; d sent
one OF its officials to this country to fight the
law IN the courts. This minister from the
Chinese court was. in Chicago ten days ago, he
said, and had informed him and others of the
wishes OF the Chinese government. The repre-
sentative from the celestial empire had gone to
Washington to secure the best legal talent to be
had and the law would be tested in the United
States supreme Court. A test case would be
made OF the arrest of some Cinnamon in
Detroit. where they were held on the charge OF
violating the exclusion law passed by the pres
cnt Congress. In this way the exclusion act and
the provision compelling Cinnamon to take out
certificates Of residence would be tested to.
gether. Until a decision was rendered. he said
no Chinaman in Chicago would take out GER
tifcate.
Many of the Chinese living in this district are
opposed to the requirements of the law, and
most OF them will probably follow the advice Of
the Chinese representative. Some few of the
most intelligent of the race, however, called on
Collector Warner and asked for particulars con-
corning the law.

charge Of murder have peculiar interest for
me, remarked Deputy Clerk and Master vezey
Of the chancery court to a reporter yesterday
When asked to state his reasons therefor Mr..

John Nezey, was jointly interested with a man
named Vasser in the publication of the
Aberdeen, Miss, Conservative. In 1858
or 1859 q young man of about Twenty-Five
years Of age came in one day, and soon acquired
Nassers interest in the paper. He took hold
with my brother and things went along smoothly
for three or four months. We noticed, how
ever, that the new partner was nervous and ap-
parently disturbed over something that con-
tinually occupied his mind. Finally he an
nOuncsd. without any explanation, that he was
going to take trip. and away he went. He was
gone two or three months out west, then he came
back and remained away weeks. Leaving Aber-
deem suddenly he went to Alabama, from which
state he came to Aberdeen to look sitter some
private interests as he explained. When he re-
turned to Aberdeen he told me he was tired of
the paper and wanted to sell his interest. 1t
was offered to me at q bargain, and before night
OF the day on which he returned we had reached
An agreement. The formal transfer and pay
ment was to be made next morning. That
night, however, he finally left Aberdeen and
nothing more was heard of him. His name
was James W. Borden. After he had gone we
learned that he had killed his father in Ala

do not know whether he was tried and acquitted,
nor do l know where he went after leaving
Aberdeen. The incidents narrated have re-
CURED to me since the Borden tragedy, now

MARTIAL LAW AT wARDNER.
All Saloons Closed and the Streets Cleared
at NIGHT.

WARDNER, IDAHO, Aug 23.-All the saloons
in this place have been closed and no one is
allowed in the streets after II p. m. The saloon
keepers are strong sympathizers of the miners
and their places have been closed to prevent
secret meetings Of the union. The Poor Man
and Tigers mines are worked by union men
who rendered support to those who we're locked
out. To break up the union Gen. Curtis ordered
shutdown in both mines, and will not allow
union men to be employed at any point in the
county. In order to hold the troops here and
guard against possible outbreak as conse-
quence Of the shutdown an order directing
three companies TO proceed to Ceur d. Alene
City with prisoners has been suspended, and
the troops will remain here until after Septem-
Der /. Law-abiding citizens are beginning to
ehafe under the restraints of martial law, and
some assert that Curtis is abusing the power
conferred upon him. He has released the town
marshals Of Wardner and placed deputy sheriffs
in full control. The transfer of prisoners to
C9ur d'Alene City WAS declared by Crosswaith,
the public examiner of the department of JUS
tce, to be illegal until the men are indicted
before United States grand jury.
