Allen Taken In.
Yakima Herald.

A very suaye young man. who had recent
ly ''done up" the people of South Bend, APP
peared at WashingtoB, D. c., the other day
aud Immediately sought an Introduction TO
Senator Allen. He was very polished
talker, seemed conversant with the politics
of this state, and informed the senator that
he was the brother-in-law OF a well.known
politician residing on the Sound. He in.
ferred, rather than said, that he carried
considerable political influence in his coat
tail pocket, and seemed very anxious to see
Senator Squire. who was in New York.
Finally he told Senator Allen that he was
on his way to Florida with his wife for the
winter, and that his especial solicltude
about seeing his friend Squire was to be
identified at the bank so as to get certifi-
cate of deposit on the bank at Elma cashed
for six hundred dollars. Senator Allen
was willing to do that for his new found
acquaintance; but when the bank was
reached the cashier. not knowing much
about the bank OF Elma, thought the certIf-
cate should be endorsed by the senator.
This was done, the money was paid over.
and the young man went on his way re-
joicing. 1t was not long before the certiG-
cate was returned on account of being for
gerry. Senator Allen was called upon by
the bank and made good the loss. but think
ing that there was some m istake wrote to
the young i4an's trother-in-law and re-
ceived answer: ''Steer clear from him; he
is a bad egg." The advice ca me too late,
for the young man, with the $500, was do
ing all of the steering.

Hunting Bear With 0hloroform.
Missoula Gazette

While the local ramrods are talking about
hunting bear they should go to the store of
the Tuttle Manufacturing company and see
there displayed the hide Of the king Of all.
Ursus Marjoris it is in fact as well as name,
and was killed yesterday in the rear of the
Northern Pacific hospital by Drs. Buckley
and Hilmantel. The monster had been seen
prowling about the premises for several
days and yesterday these bold physicians
hit upon novel plan of capturing him.
They saturated large piece of pork with
chloroform, and after sprinkling it with
sugar, set the bait. The animal readily fell
a prey. becoming unconscious soon after de-
vouring the seductive morsel 1t was a
matter of but few moments to brain the
wretch with pair of stuffed clubs and the
result is an exhibition to-day. The hide
measures nine feet across and the head
weighs fifty-three pounds. 1t is the largest
animal of its species ever captured, and
will be sent to the Worlds Fair as sample
of what Missoula can produce when she
tries right hard.

Strange Sleep Walking.
Huntington Journal.


young lady of this place, who Is treas
urer of MISSION in one of our Sunday
schools, and who had about SIS of the bands
money In her possession, quietly performed
feat the other night that was dangerous.
The lady referred to arose at late hour,
dressed herself, went to the bureau where
she had placed the IS. and took it to little
room in the house which the family did not
occupy. Gathering together few old
skirts she wrapped the money up in them
and then securely tied it with a string and
placed it in dark. hidden corner. After
this was accomplished sbe went into her
brothers room, took his loaded revolver
and started for the yard. 1t is not known
Just how long she was out of doors, but the
next morning the revolver was found in a
barrel at the rear of the lot. When the re-
volver was discovered in the barrel it
dawned upon the young lady that perhaps
some person had been in the house and
taken her mission money, and she quickly
went to the bureau where she had the
money concealed. On reaching the drawer
she found that it had disappeared. A thor
ough search was given, and the money
found in the place above mentioned.

New Telephones.

M. Mercadier, one of the directors of
the Paris Ecole Polytecbnique, has in
vented telephone of reduced size. which
Is SAID to be more efficient in every way
than the ordinary instrument now in use.
1t is called the "Bi telephone" and has
been tested successfully between Paris
and London. The inventor has also
made light receptors, which can reach the
ears without beng held. This will be Of
great utility to persons who have to take
notes at the telephone. AM infantry
officer, Captain Charolols, has also in
vented bi metallic telephone which
obviates :he use of insulators. The in
strument was used effectively during the
recent army mareuvers in France, the
inventor being afterward complimented
highly by the Minister of War on his
useful discovery.

Portland Telegram: Particulars of a
fatal accident which occurred at Taggart-
vile, Washington county, have just been
obtained. Louis Schaumberg, lad be
tween 10 and l years of age, was kicked
by. horse above the right eye and sus-
tanned injuries from which he died some
hours later. The boy was engaged in
leading two hoses 10 water, when one of
the animals, being in playful mood,
broke sway from the lad and started off
In prancing gait. Coming opposite
the other horse, the animal whirled
around and playfully kicked at the one
the boy was leading. TIE blow did not
strike the horse, but the hoof came in
contact with the Doy's forehead, glancing
against the bone jnst above the right eye.
The skull was crushed and the brains
protruded. He was knocked senseless
and never regained consciousness. After
lingering some hours the poor lad ex
pired.

They Come IN Droyes.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Contract labor
inspectors, Conkling and Osborne, sent
from this city to the mining districts OF
Pennsylvania to investigate the working
of the alien contract law, have sent their
report to Secretary Foster. The report
states, that they discovered evidences of
wholesale violation of the law, in the
mines surrounding Scranton. Nine.
tenths of the miners at present employed
are Hungarlans or Slags. Five years
ago the miners there we're nearly all
Americans. The inspectors found the
immigrants were brought over from Eu-
rope in droyes, passed through the large
office by an agent and taken to the mines
to supersede American miners.

EDITORIAL NOTES.


The dispatches to-day state that the
Chilian government, through the resi-
dent minister at Washington City, has
requested the recall of Mr.. Egan. This
is the privilege of any country, and is
generally respected by all nations:
During the late complications with
Chill Minister Egan has acted for our
best interests, and in his intercourse
with the junta has maintained the dig
nifty of the United States. Whether
he has suited the hot-headed Chilians
is a different question, and this may
be the reason they desire to have him
recalled.
We received Saturday from Hon. J.
B. Huntington, of Burns, blank pc
titIon to the congress of the United
States, for signatures for ceding OF
the public lands to certain states for
the purpose of developing irrigations
to render the land now arid fertile and
capable of supporting a population.
This is subject of great Importance
to the residents of Eastern Oregon,
and a long list of signatures should be
procured in this vicinity. If congress
refuses to take any action in the mat
ter after being petitioned, it will fur
nish capital IN tie coming campaign.
Whether war will result from the
present complications with Chill or
not, one good has been accomplished,
and that is, our coast has been put in
a better state of defence. Without a
threatened invasion of our territory, It
is safe to state the old forts on the Pa
citc would have remained In the same
dilepidated condition they were, and
very little attention would have been
paid to the improvement of our navy.
The United States has the longest
liEes of seacoast Of any nation in the
world, and until within the last few
years the navy consisted Of few
wooden ships, which would have been
useless in modern sea fight.
Our friends in the interior seem to
be encouraged in the belief that the
Oregon Pacific will build during the
coming summer from Yaquina bay
into Grant and Crook counties. For
many years the producers in that
isolated portion of the state have
looked longingly toward this road as
the outlet to seaboard; but have hith-
erto been disappointed, and we can see
no reason why they should have
stronger hopes now than heretofore.
This road has not displayed much EN-
terprise in opening up che interior,
and, whether from lack of capital or
energy, has done very little in con-
structing line to regions of country |
that would have afforded it lucrative
trade
The tax levy for state, county and
school purposes has been fixed at the
adjourned session of the county court
at 25 plills. This may appear consid-
cradle, but an extra two mills were
added for roads and bridges, and these
are urgent necessities. We need good
roads to the interior, and these should
be afforded producers at any cost.
Heretofore great complaint has been
made in this regard; but we have rea-
son to believe that this matter will re-
ceiye proper consideration from the
county jndge and commissioners
With good crops next season, fair
price for grain, and factories in opera
ton in this city, this tax of 25 mills
will not be heavy burden upon our
business men and farmers.
