France has wonderfully recuperated

France has wonderfully recuperated
since the fall of Sedan, and now Ger
many finds it necessary to make extra
preparations to protect herself against
her warlike neighbor. When Paris
surrendered to the. victorious German
army. and few days after when the
commune glutted itself on the ruined
city, France was literally in the dust;
but during the two decades that have
since elapsed there has been wonderful
recuperation, and the French army
and munitions of war are equal if not
superior to those of Emperor Williams
across the Rhine. The tri-color of
France must float victoriously over
Alsace and Lorraine before the war
spirit of the French will cool, and
until that time the peace of Europe
will liable to be disturbed at any mo-.
ment. - sf8f

TRAGEDY IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.
A Former Citizen OF The Dalles Ktlled
While Attempting with other
Men TO Capture Band Of
Five Robbers.

Mr.. 7. j. Corur, brother of Mrs. Chas.
dent of The Dalles, was killed Nov. oath,
in Wyatt county, B. c., about forty miles
northeast of Nelson, a town on the CaLadi.
an Pacific. He has been engaged in the
csttle business in that region for several
years, and had sold a band for $4,000. After
delivering the stock and receiving the
money, in company with two men by the
names Of Pickens and Tslbot, he started
for the nearest point on the railroad, and
had come to station about sixteen miles
from Nelson, when the party were over
hauled by five highwaymen who robbed
Corum of the coin on his person. His com
panIons went on to the railroad; but Toui
rode back te Wyatt, the shire town of the
county by the same name, and informed the
sheriff. That official organized posse.
consisting of his deputy, Allen, Constable
Nuxol and two other men. Procuring som
bIoodhounds, aud guided BY Corum. they
came to the place where the robbery was
committed. The dogs gos the scent. and
followed 1t to place about forty mile
northeast of Nelson, where the robbers were
surprised in camp. They immediately
opened fire on the posse, and at the frs;
discharge the sheriff's men fed and left
Corum alone to continue the fight. That
he fought bravely is proved by the fact
that when his dead body was founo
the next day. it was very near the
camp and two of the highwa. mea wer.
dead from rifle balls. He was shot
in the forehead between the eyes, and al
empty Winchester was by his side and an
ivory handled revolver in his hand. The
coroner found on the persous of the two
dead men $1,000 and 1t is presumed they
divided the booty. By papers in their
pockets the names of the two dead robbers
were ascertained to be Wilson and Charles
Rowe; but these of the other three who es-
capped are not known. These facts were
given to Deputy Sheriff Phirman by man
who was en- route to California to inform
Mr.. Corum's wife of his death. He told the
deputy that robberies are frequent in that
portion Ct British Columbia, and 1t is not
safe for man to travail any distance with
money IN his possession. T. J. Corum was
a resident of this county for a number OF
years, and his sad fate will be deplored by
his former friends and acquaintances

Orsgoniaa: Earl Schwartz, German ,
aged about 81 years, was killed by q
Northern Pacific train at 5:10 O'Clock
yesterday evening. He had taken load
of sawdust from the mills, and, upon his
return, stopped at the office Of the com.
pany, winch is few rods distant from
the mills. He stated to the people there
that. he was going to the barn and then
drove off. The railroad track is between
the Office and the mill, and just then the
Northern Pacific train came alorg.
He drove his horses upon the crossing,
and just as they had passed over the loco
motive struck the wagon behind the for
ward wheels, smashing 1t into kiudling
wood. Schwartz was hurled into the air
and landed about twenty feet from the
track. Some employees of the miIli who
saw the accident, ran to his assistance
and carried him into the Office and ply
sician was sent for. 1t was Useless, how
ever, for the young mans injuries were
fatal. He lived only about ten minutes.

The Cat Theory Exploded.

The editor OF the PrIneville Ne,cs has had
terrible experience in the early hours Of
morning with black cat. and this Is the
way he facetlously expresses himself:
The old age of ideas is fraught with an
explosive tendency that makes them dan
gerous to fool with. One of them blew up
in the Nescs odice this week and when we
went to look for its fragments we could only
find where they had spattered in the dust

said that for black cat to come to ones

was a .'sgn of good luck" One morning

The New England Courier, German.
American weekly, published in Boston,
Mass, gives some very interesting figures
showing how great and influential the
Teutonic race has become rs an element
of immigration into this country. In
Illinois one-half of the foreign born popu-
,ation is German. In Minnesota the pro-
portion is one-third; in Nebraska and
Iowa more than one-third; in Wisconsin
one. half, or one-eighth of the whole
population; in Indiana, the banner Ger
man State, out of 244, 900 foreigners,
80, 900 are of German birth, or fifty five
per cent. OF the whole. Out of 12,0OO,-
900 immigrants into this country since
1920, 4,5OO, 900 have been Germans.
Coming from the most thrifty and best
educated country in Europe, observes the
Boston Globe, these people, constitu-
tionally endowed with patience, skill
and perseverance,, have engrafted solid,
thoughtful, industrious, and peace-lov-
ing cement into the composite structure
of the Union.
