routine and circumIocution a solemn docu.
ment arrived in the East from the Colonial
Office in London.
The sapient wispacres who endeavor TO
rule the colonies by the wrong men in the
right place laid down their dictum that a
dangerous precedent had been esta blished
by young official, without authorization.
10 departing from the hard and fast rules
laid down for his guidance in the Indian
penal code. He was, therefore. gravely
list as an example to other officers.
The verdict was soon nolsed abroad by
chattering half-caste clerks with whom Eng
land seeks to save few annual dollars in
salaries at cost of thousands ia dlvulged
secrets. The population reioiced at the
solid re-establishment OF the limited penal
code, and amoking broke out as merrily as
before. Meantime there is not so much
zeal" displayed by junior magistrates as
there used to be In England's Malay pos
sessions.
The routine pursued by the amoker is
almost always the same Once he has let
60 his passion he will spring up and attack
the nearest person with one or two savage
slashes, Such person being taken by sur
prise is generally wounded TO the death,
while the amoker having burnt his ships
behind him and intoxicated with the sight
and aroma of blood, dashes out for wild
mad-dog run in the open, striking sayagely
at anything living In his way.
The cry OF "Amok J Amok!' is raised
with the same promptitude as that of Mad
dogY' in our own streets. and all those who
have nerve enough TO leap nimbly On one
side have little difficulty in avoiding the
temporary madman's bee. line career. Many.
however, paralyZed with terror, suffer the
consequences of weak nerves and impeding
obstacle in the runners path. 1t is per-
mltted to all and any persons to shoot, cut
down or otherwise dispose Of the life Of
madman running amOk.
As rule. however, The public at large. is
lar more interested in escaping the scene
than 10 endeavoring TO actively check it.
Among the Malays themselves the rela-
tives OF the injured persons will take up the
pursuit and wreak their vengeance when
they gain their opportunity.
In the towns and districts owned or
protected" by the British, armed police
men are 20 be found on nearly every street,
and at the shrill cry of "amok" guard
houses rapidly turn out their forces and
the pursuit begins.

If the directors of the Coney Island Ath-
letic Cub are sane people there will not be,
for a while at least. contest to a finish
between long Bob Fits mmons and Jim
Hall. both of Australia.
A few days ago news of Halls arrival from
England was flashed over the continent,
and Immediately following n message was
received that the clubs had again begun to
bid for the pugs.
The Coney Island people had already
signed Fitzsimmons TO tight Hall for the
insignificant sum Of $4,000.
Latest accounts state that Hall Is not
satisfied with the purse and that $40, goo
more must be added before lie places his
signature to the document
few years ago the pnsilstic saying was /:
Boys, let US 60 West and catch gullibles -
II has changed since then and is now
Boys, let US co East and catch suckers"

on unfriendlyterms. That is reasonable as
the more they run down. in the estimation
Of the public, each others pTowess, the
more exciting the battle the sporting public
will exDect to see. What fools mOrtals be
who like puglismi
Ii = safe and very safe TO say that the
club in which Hall and Fitzsimmons viii
| fight Will 90 to pieces after tie battle.
| These men have had faxed fights where
pennies were as big TO them comparatively
as $50 pieces are now. II they would fool
the public for a few shilIings what will
they do when the sum of $4,000 or more is
az STAKE?
The San Francisco clubs would not give
them $500. because they would not draw a
eOrporaPs guard Probably among the
suckers they will do better. We will
wait aud see.
Tomorrow evening George Mckenzie. n
| clever Australian, who was defeated few
months ago by Robert Dobbs. the coiored

the Palo Alto Club with Gus Herget, who is
brother OF Young Mitchell. This should

When the Olympic Club shall have moved

At present amateur athletic sports, with
the exception of football, are very dull.
Sportsmen who delight in the invigorat-
ing exercise that is attached to quail and
duck shooting are highly pleased with the
present cold snap. This is just the kind of
weather for good upland and marsh shoot

Anglers are getting ready their tackle for
salmon fishing in the estuaries of coast
streams.
Coursing is in full blast, and better

Eugene Rsgister: The destructive little
Goblin moth is already at work in the ap
piles, and the chances are that by the time
the winter apples are ripe the Goblin moth
will have them pretty well eaten up. An
inspection of almost any apple tree will
show that where two apples touch each
other the Goblin moth has begun his work
and is boring into them. So far as we can
learn. but little spraying has been done IN
the country to dispose of these pests or to
check their destructive work. Something
must be done to rid the orchards of them or
in year or two the apples will be worth
less.
The town CO Y held a convention at the
city pound the other day. She came in the

the convention seemed to be that the COW

lusion and snare and ought to be skinned

would be a magnificent place, by reason of
It's envirement, for such convention.
These COWS have become great nuisance in
this neighborhood, and any plan by which
they could be kept away from gardens and
shade trees would be a matter of congratu-
lstion.

Indian Dance.

i
The dusky maids and gallants of the diff
ferent neIghboring tribes are engaging il
their annual dance on the Columbia river
below Ames' and Gillenwater's ranches
We were not fortunate enough to get view
of the dance. Two of our townsmen, DR.
Presby and G. T. Mckinney, were highly
entertained by the maneuvres of the primi-
tive gypsies last Sunday.
The festivals are held in long wlgwam
and are thoroughly democratic, every one
allowed to participate. A huge FIRE is built
in the centre of the tent. The dancers de-
scribe all the different figures known to the
mystic circle, to the suft melodies produced
by the harmonious blendings of a tin pan
and a COW bell. The dark-eyed beauties
advance, retreat, cheat and SWING, etc,
thus keeping the gallant siwash in doubt
whether she Will swing or put.
Our informant says that the promlscaous
bathing at the end of each change is one of
the leading features of the fandango. The
forest bellies robed IN the picturesque cos
tunes of Adam and Eve in the garden of
Eden, tumble into the 'Oregon, remain in
the cooling waters few moments, then re-
turn to the hop.

could readily see 1t was done to counteract
my influence, and to bolster up o. D. Tay.
lor on his regular trip east. This thing has
about petered out now with him. First the
argument used to sell lots at Grand Dalles
was the beauty of the location, etc.. That
worked well tor a timer the people east
gof tired Of hearing that. so the fruit bust
ness was sprung on them, and that sold q
few more. Then the mineral wealth of
Grand Dalles is being worked up, and Tay.
lor has lately started east with glass fac.
tory buzzing in his bat, and the money he
swlndled me out of is paying his expenses.
