Baker on Saturday last. The neighbors,
to the number of 40 met at the house of
Mr.. Baker at enc O'Clock, where after
an excellent dinner the afternoon passed
much too quickly with games and other
amusements. The evenings entertain
ment consisted of reading, recitations,
dialogues and music. Bert Bailey pre-
sided at the piano, assisted by Walter
Cathern. This pleasant gathering was
under the able management of Mrs.
Charles F. Bailey, assisted by the other

broke up at late hour, all agreeing that
Saturday, December "a, would be day
long to be remembered in district No. 4.

The DIR. Briggs trial is getting to be
tiresome. They have made the accusa-
ton that the DIR. teaches that Moses
was not the author of the pentateuch,
etc. DR.. Birch said the only authority
of the authorship was the bible itself.
He said: IF Moses did not write the
peptateuch, no Jew can be blamed for
rejecting Christ. If Moses did not write
the pentateuch, Christ himself is dis
honest" When DIR. Birch finished his
speech, Col. McCook took up the club
and made the discussion very warm in
his effort to prove the heretical theories
of DIR. Briggs.
To the common reader this discussion
is not very savory and does not advance
the cause of christianity with the ma
jority of readers. The christian world
wants less dogmatism in this nineteenth
century, and more simple christianity.
1t doesn't make any difference to the
most of mankind whether Moses wrote
the pentateuch, or whether David did,
as long as the spirit is there.

Ordered to strike.

CHIcAeo, Dec. 9.-Chief Ramsey, of
the railway telegraphers, says the strike
on the Rock Island road is now on and
that all the telegraphers went out at ten
a. m. yesterday. a Davenport special
says the strike would not. seriously in
terfere with the use of wires for train
work in Iowa from the Mississippi river
to Council Bluffs, not more than twelve
operators having left their keys, and on
the division from Davenport to Kansas
City fifteen to twenty had gone out.
Trains are moving regularly by the dis
patchers' orders except where the snow
storm had interferred. At El Reno the
operators nave the sympathy of the
citizens, and it is believed that the COM
pany will have trouble putting non
union men in the strikers. places. Be-
tween Ft. Dodge and Des Moines only
four men are at work. They are station
agents not mem bers of the order. Train
service is considerably crippled there.
As far as can be learned, none of the
operators on the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids and Northern road have obeyed
the order to strike.

OF Interest to Fruit Men.

Pacific Farmer. President Cardwell,
OF the state board of horticulture, who
has just returned from an extended trip
through the fruit sections of California
is very enthusiastic in his desert ption of
the interest taken in that industry by
the prominent men in the state. He
says that there is more brains and
money engaged in the raising of Calf
ornia fruit than in any other business.
Almost all of the prominent men have
an interest OF some kind. In one county
they figure that they have enough wine
grapes to supply the world. These
grapes sold as low as six dollars per too
during the present season. And wine
sold for eight to ten cents per gallon.
The growers also figure that they will
inside of five years according TO the
acreage now planted raise enough French
prunes G40O, 900, 600 pounds) to supply
the country. Their prunes in size can
not compare with the Oregon product,
but as it is lett to ripen and then dried
in the sun it is of excellent quality hold
ing much sugar. 1t is a mistaken idea
to think that fruits dried in sun are not
of good quality. The large size and ex-
cellent quality of the Oregon prune will
always place 1t at the head in the prune
market if it is put up in an attractive
manner, as it will always command the
highest price and the best class of trade.
The leading growers of California are of
the opinion and SO expressed it that on
account of the superior quality of the
Oregon apple in comparison with the
California apple, that the growers of Or
|egon should devote more of their land to
the production of apples, and the doctor
says that ship load OF Winter Nelliss
pears could be sold in the San Francisco
market.

Current Topics.

The Heppner Gazette says: News
comes from Harney county that w. G.
Byrd will not be one in the race to be
decided on the Doth inst. 1t is reported
that John DAILY will run on the demo-
cratic ticket, but who will be the choice
of the republican and populist parties
is not known, though it is presumed
that Gowan and Fenwick will try it
again. If the later should not decide to
make the race, the democrat will
doubtless be elected.
The enrolment in the state normal
school at Monmouth in this state is 355.
The corresponding enrolment last year
was 800.
The District of Columbia is left by a
decision of the supreme court of the
district without law regulating the
liquor traffic. An old statute of the
Legislature of the district relating to the
licensing of various vocations has hither-
to been treated by the commissioners as
giving them power to grant or refuse the
licenses to sell Intoxicating liquors, and
as subjecting those who sold without
license to penalties. In May last the
supreme court of the district, held
against this view of the power of the
commissioners. 1t is of urgent impor-
tance, therefore that congress should
supply, either by direct enactment or
by comforting discretionary powers upon
the commissioners, proper limitations
and restraint. upon the liquor traffic in
the district. The district has suffered
in its reputation by many crimes ofvNS
lence, large per cent. of them result
ing from drunkenness and the liquor
traffic. The capital of the nation should
be freed from this reproach by the en-
actment of stringent restrictions and
limitations upon the traffic.
The Heppner Gazette says: j. G.
Luce advocates a slice cut off from Grant
county and DE added to Morrow. Nor
row county opposes slicing any more.
Portlands water system is getting to
be ponderous institution. They find
that their revenue is insufficient to
meet the requirements on their interest
bearing bonds, and as soon as the pipe
line is finished they will fall short $751;
900 or more than their receipts on in
come for water rent, and are compelled
to advance rates before the new year.

Millions withoat Charity.

In all the lives of wealthy men who
have been favored with millions of dol
lars; who have been prominent charac-
ters in the world; have had an under
lying thought and spirit of benevolenc-,
they have realized that the world had
contributed to their pleasures, to their
comforts and their successes. While.
they had absorbed a s5are of it's wealth,
they owed much for it, and as remem-
brance, forgot not its benefits. Their.
are but few instances where the hand oi
charity has not been felt, the weak
made strong and talents returned foc
charity's sake In Mr.. Jay GouId's life
there is an exception. He gathered
from the world, and kept what the
world gave him without Thanksgiving.
His hundred millions he bequeathed to
his sons and daughters Charity, for
public good, was not bis Thanksgiving.
The offering was forgotten. ''As the
worm dieth so he died"

How TO Preserve a Piano.

"In spite Of all the efforts of til,
Makers" said piano tuner recently, :"
do not believe there is one piano in oae
hundred that, with ordinary parlor use,
will stand in tune more than two months.
An unskilful musical ear, it is true, will
fail to detect any important discord In a
piano for six months, or perhaps longer;
but no cultivated ear can tolerate the
discordant notes that the best piano will
insist upon giving out after two months
OF use.
"When you think once that the steel
wires and iron frames Of piano are al
ternately contracting and expanding
under the variations of the surrounding
atmosphere, giving a constant movement
OF the wires aud a consequent change in
the pitch and tone of tue instrument,
the impossibility Of piano maintaining
a perfect tone for any length of time
must be at once apparent, and il you
will but reflect on the surprising fact
that the tension Of the strings of Il
piano causes strain on the body of the
instrument equal TO the weight OF 1OO,-
900 pounds, you will doubtless agree
with me that piano that will remain in
perfect tune for year is an instrument
that must necessarily be OF extreme
rarity, il not impossible to make.
"a piano, good, bad or indifferent,
when new, should be tuned once a
month. The longer an instrument re-
mains uetuned the lower it. pitch OF
tone becomes; and when il Is desired to
have the piano drawn to concert pitch
the strain on the body OF the instru.
ment is greatly increased, so much, IN
fact that the case Is liable To yield
gradually, neeessitating second
tuning within a week, or two weeks at
the furthsrest. IL Is eommon error
among non,professional plane players tn
think piano should remain In tune at
least u year, Professionals know bet
ter, New York Press.
