Testing Bread for Alum.

Bread soaked in an alcoholic solution OF
logwood will at once turn blue il there is
alum present. Another very simple way
of testing alum is to thrust a hot knife
blade into loaf that Is one day old. II
alum is present it will adhere in small
particles TO the blade.
Or take good loaf OF bread with sus-
pected one; cut from the two pieces Of
equal size, put them i'm saucers containing
the same quantity OF water; the best
bread will invariably absorb the most
water. This is more test for alum than
anything, as alum hardehs the gluten Of
wheat and renders it less soluble.

not be displayed, and there is nothing
about them TO catch the dust unnecessarily.

The Oregon Militia.


WAsHINGToN, March, 11.-Secretary of
War Elkins has just published state
ment of the militia of the United States.
Oregon is included and the information
is taken from the report of Adjutant-
General Mitchell. Oregon has 1,5O6
men in the militia and 40, ,796 men avail
able for military duty. Where about
one-twenty-ffth of the men available
for military duty in Oregon are mem bers
of the militia, the case is very different
in other states. In Ohio, for instance,
there are SOC, 600 men available and 1878
members of the militia. Pennsylvania
gives in report of 735, ,622 available
men and only 8,469 enlisted North
Carolina with 235 600 available men and
only l. ,5S6 enlisted men. Oregon stands
very high in comparison with other
states and much better than Washing
ton, which state has 36l less than Ore
gon-while there are So, 800 men avail
able for service, compared to Oregon's
4o,796. Washington has los officers to
take care of its l, ,145 men and Oregon
has 127 officers to look after it ,5O6 men
There are three cavalry officers, three
artillery and 10s infantry officers here.
Washington has ten cavalry officers and

Wall street in the Throes.

New YORK, March 11.-Just now
Wall street is in the pangs of financial
distress and the slightest rumors produce
great agitation. To illustrate: Jay Gould
is south, and the Herald Yesterday said
that his health had suddenly become
very much worse, and that he was
hurrying home from the south on that
account. A panic followed, and it re-
quired several dispatches from George
Gould to his father, and affidavits from
Sidney Dillon, Russell Sage and George
Gould to restore the equilibrium of the
street; and convince operators that the
Little Wizard" was all right.

War Declared ON the Co1umbia.

PORTLAND, March 11.-The rate war
between the Union Pacific and the op-
position steam boat lines on the Portland
and Astoria route formally commenced
this morning where the cut was promptly
met by the steamer Telephone, and the
Astorian will probably fall into line in a
day or two. Not only are the passenger
rates affected but the freight rates as
well, which are considered far more i'm
portant, as greater interests are involved.
The Telephone belongs to the line which
carries the Northern Pacific's traffic on
the lower river, and as merchants in
Astoria receive a great deal of eastern
freight over the .Northern's route, this
is considered point in their favor for a
successful opposition.

THE BLIZZARD STILL RAGING.
Storms in Ensland---Minor
Matters.

PORTLAND, March 1.-It>is currently
reported that the contract for the build
ing of the Astoria railroad, was yester-
day signed by c. w. Schofield and
George Goss, who are to construct the
road, and by Messrs. Taylor, Dement,
and Wingate, trustees for the city in the
matter OF the subsidy, work to commence
within ten days. The road is to run
through the Nehalem valley and furnish
transcontinental connection with As
toria. The builders are to receive $780,
600 in cash as subsidy, after the first
engine has run over the line, and it has
been accepted by the trustees. Beside
this $500, ,000. there are other considera-
tions. Astoria is to furnish the terminal
grounds and secure right of way through
the city or such portion of it as is needed.
The money is not to be delivered till the
road is in operation from Astoria, as
said, to .transeontinental connection,
probably to some point on the Southern
Pacific on the original route selected by
VIM. Reid. Astoria has subscribed a
land subsidy. This is in the possession
of the trustees and is about 800 acres. A
stock company will be formed and the
land used as basis on which to. raise
the $500, COO. Goss and Schofeld have
nothing to do with the land and simply
receive the $500, 900 in cash at the roads
completion. Mr.. Schofeld some time
ago suggested this method of raising the
money, and it was worked we'll.

About a Mysterious Disappearance.

.a-EF
MONMOUTH, ILL.,, March 11.-A strange
case of circumstantial evidence contain
ing all the elements of a romance has
just come to light here. Fred NJ. Staley
was once resident of this place. Some
years ago he removed to Kansas, where
he worked on ranch. Last fall he de-
cided to spend the winter in Illinois,
but did not publicly proclaim his iinten-
ton. One day two young men of his
acquaintance asked him to, ride with
them to town and he accepted-the inyi-
tation. On the way he informed his
companions that he believed he would
take the train for the east that night.
He did SO, and had never written to or
heard from his former home until Mon
day of this week, when he read in a
newspaper that the young men with
whom he had ridden had been indicted
for the murder of Fred NJ. Staley, and
the trial had been set for March, 10th
The authorities undoubtedly have a
strong case against the prisoners, as they
were the last men his acquaintances
had seen with him, and had not told
them where he was going. Staley left
here yesterday, aud will doubtless be
a welcome witness at the trial.

The New York World believes that
the opportunity for Democratic victory
is in the air. In a recent issue it says
Fortune has been very good to the
Democracy.
A little while ago there was general
feeling that it was going to be very hard
work to elect Democratic president
this year. 1t now promises to be easy to
accomplish that most desirable end if a
tolerable discretion is brought to bear at
Chicago and proper loyalty is shown
by all Democrats after the nomination
is made.
The Democrats are unquestionably
more numerous than the Republicans in
this and the other states whose votes
will determine the result. Upon the
Issues which divide parties the majority
of the people are enthusiastically with
the Democracy.
But even with bitter dissatisfaction
rending the Republican party, which is
sure to cost it much support that it
might ordinarily count upon, it will be
necessary to Democratic success for
every Democrat to stand to his colors
and give his utmost support to the
cause, no matter who the leader chosen
ct Chicago may be. 1t is situation

In THE old days OF internecine war
fare in Scotland families were in the
habit of dividing up. When it came
to the wars Of the Jamesea there were
partizans on both sides, so that no mat
ter what the issue might be there was
sure to be friend at court, and the for
feiture of estates would not accrue. This
was splendid scheme, and it worked in
good fashion. At Minneapolis there
was an instance which showed that the
old Scottish examples have not been
forgotten. While Col. Dick Kerens
was on the floor OF the convention work
ing for Harrison his wife was up in the
galleries waving her fan for Blaine. It
is generally conceded that Mrs. Kerens
led the loudest cheers for the magnetic
man from Maine. and she came near
disconcerting the plans of her husband.
Woman, lovely woman, in this day and
generation, shows that she is power.
Yea, verify!
