There is | REVEALING idea in the u. :.
that 10 Eet anywhere near native boa
constructor means death. Miss Mcneil
tells OF case that indicates something
different. One morning on going 10 3
neighboring school in Liberia, the native
children found cGrled up on a natter un-
der the roof. nearly out Of sight, q good
sized boa constructor. Thinking il would
make the teacher nervous, and knowing
they could Kill il any time they wished,
they said, they did not notify her; bui
let the snake remain on the raiter, " here
il did no, happen TO be discovered By the
teacher. After school they attacked the
boa constructor, killed 1t, and ate i;,pro-
nouncing il fully as good as chicken, like
which il Is said 30 taste. Ii Was eighteen
feet long. The natives have little fears
OF these supposed 10 be ;errors.
The 2l year old representative Of lane
county is making a reputation. The
Guard says: Hon C X Wilkinson has
received invitations from az least dozen
places 10 deliver Fourth Of July orations.
On account OF previous engagement in
a different line be is compelled 10 re.
spectfully decline them all.
Farmers from all parts OF the valley
report crops OF all kinds in good condi-
tion. Although the spring was late, the
ground was in the finest shape 10 receive
seed, and the continued cool and moist
weather has produced a wonderful
growth. From the present indications
the yield OF grain will be unusually
heavy.-Salem Journal.
The trouble with amateur base ball
clubs is that they expect the pitcher and
catcher to do all the work. Better in
and out field work is needed. pitcher
can do little without proper support. In
several games glanced at in the y w
league, the average put out by the
catcher was between and ), about the
work OF the 2nd baseman, and aboat a
third OF that of the first baseu an. The
three fields generally put out 4 or 5,
nearly all that come TO them. Amateurs
will do well TO consider these facts and
learn TO stop grounders and get under
flies and not depend too much on the
pitcher.
Not many games OF base ball are.
played without some contention. The
Woodburn Independent says: "1he st
Paul boys went TO Lafayette last Sunday
and played the Lafayette nine. The
score stood to 2, in favor OF the st Paul
boys. The game was for purse of 800
and gate receipts. The LAFAYETTE nine
claimed an erroneous decision on the
last inning and refused to give up either
stakes or gate money and so the purse
was divided and tie manager kent the
gate receipts. s | Guiss, formerly of
this city, but now ir business at Laiay-
ette. wagered money On the Lafayette
boys and, Notwithstanding the action Of
the Lafayette nine, he gave il up, saying
that the st Paul boys won fairly. VIM
Murphy, OF st Paul, was umpire and we
all know there is not money enough in
Yamhill county to get lin to do any
thing wrong, st Paul bows will never
again cross bats with the Lafayette nine.
Recently the DKMooRAT published an
item from the Eugene Register in refer
ence to prohibitionists in the late elec.
tion in that city voting for whiskey men.
A writer in the Guard scores the paper
in the following live manner, and we
gladly. give the other side of the matter:
OF course every prohibdionist knew the
charge to be false. By reference to the
vote as tabulated in TIE county papers it
will be seen that South Eugene precinct
No only polled about five prohibition
votes, and that these went almost wholly
to the prohibition candidates. But the
maliciousness of the Registers false
statement scarcely exceeds its stupidity,
as the vote of all the Eugene precincts
are given in the same issue, which fatty
contradicts the false statement. But /
suppose the Register man thought that
no one would think to stand up for the
truth by the side of his false statement.
What will high license republican not
do to defame prohibitionist and uphold
the saloon?
