The Decline in Silver.

NEW York, Aug lS.-The steady
decline in the price of silver has
been the subject of all manner OF
talk pro and cou on Wall street, foi
months past. Henry Clews on the
silver question said: "The recent
depreciation In silver Is largely the
result of manipulation and a bear
market for the purpose OF producing
an effect upon values aud products
rs well AS stocks. IL serves no good
purpose, therefore, for silver to be
dealt Ia ON the New York exchange
at the present time, especially when
such results are aimed at and are SO
easy Of aeoomf lishment. During
the war gold was originally dealt 10
on the New York Stock Exchange,
and wa moved up and down most
erratically for speculative purposes.
The effect was seen 10 bs Injurious,
aud II was stricken from the list
and dealings prohibited. The same
should he done now with regard 20
silver the metal now occupies the
same position at the exchange ia igs

Mob Did Not Come.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 15.-H.
Clay King, the Memphis murderer
who was committed to the peniten-
Iiary for life, hes not been assigned
10 work. DIR. Morris, sub-lessee of
convicts said that King would not
be required to work, a. his physical
condition would not permit it. AL
though the penitentiary officials did
not credit the rumors of mob com.
ing from Memphis which were cir,
culated on the streets Saturday
night Warden Blevins thought il
we'll enough to be prepared for al
emergency. Fifty pounds of dyna
mite were placed across the cour
leading from Church street to tn,
main entrance of the prison, I,
which was attached an electric bat
terry, aud the whole could have been
exploded at moments notice
There were also thirty guards on the
inside all armed with rifles and re
volvers. The Memphis train came
in as usual but there was no mob on
board. The precautions proved t,
be entirely unnecessary, as not the
least sign of u mob or disturbance
of any kind was visible at the prison
during the plght. Ex-Governor
Brown has denied that he signed
the petition for the communication of
Kings sentence.

That Elopement Story.

PORTLAND, Aug, 14.--Informa-
ton has been received here that
Chester Dolph, son of the senator
from Oregon, ,eloped last Wednesdas
evening from Seattle with Miss
Armstrong, his cousin. The story.
as related by the Sound papers, was
in effect, that the young but de-
termiued pair left Seattle, and, after
stopping ut Tacoma, started for this
city, where they intended to be
married. Inquiry at the Office Of
the county clerk failed to disclose
any record of an issuance of the
necessary papers, hence the marriage
could not have taken place here.
Hon. g. A Dolph, uncle of the
reported groom, was seen at his
Arlington offices yesterday. III do
not know anything about the mat
ter said he, nor do | care any
thing about it. The story is too
deep for me. Chester was here
August aud remained at my house
When he left he said he was going
to Tacoma, where he intended TAX
ing the steamer for San Francisco on
II busi ess trip" Young Mr.. Dolph
is "A yeaIs of age, and for some tlm,
has occupied position with the
Northern Pacific railway at Tacoma
Miss Armstrong formerly lived hele
with her parents, and is quite wei
known to the youthful society OF
Portland. She is not q pretty girl
but possesses engaging manners.
Her parents resided at the corner OF
Twelfth and +. streets till abou
four years ago, when they removed
to seattle. Mrs. Armstrong is
sister To the wife of Senator Dolph.
The cause for the elopemeut, If such
Improves to be, was undoubtedly due
20 opp' silion 10y the young mau's
family, as both Mr.. Armstrong and
his wife were especially fond OF the
young man. The young lady in
question is about 20 years of age.
If the elopement story proves to
be true, il will doubtless develop in
San Francisco, for that is probably
the point to which the parties are
travelling now by steamer.

Both Wanted to Die

FORT WORTH. Tex, Aug. Is =
rwo prominent society people Sat-
urday night attempted suicide by
swallowing three grains of morphine.
They were Eugene p. Ihorper,
travelling salesman for a San An.
tonic drug house, a married man,
and Miss Mary West, of Hillsboro,
Texas, who has been visiting friends
here for several days. The two had
fallen desperately in love some
months ago, but, on account of
Thorner's family, they could not
marry. Last night they went to
the Arlington Inn, represented them
selves as man aud wife, and were as
signed to apartments, where they
took the deadly drug. For nine
hours the work of rescue was carried
on, and at noon yesterday both were
declared out of danger. The affair
has caused intense excitement in
society circles.

University Course n Agriculture.

AT the meeting Of the Board of
Regents last June it was decided to
establish 8 course in Agriculture IN
the University, and r. q. Atkeson,
Ph. ID, President Of the w. w.
State Board Of Agriculture, was elect
ed Professor Of Agriculture. On
the opening ofthefall term course
Of study was arranged and twelve
young men entered the class and
have pursued the subject Of agricnl-
ture during the past year. The
course was revised for the new
catalogue and includes algebra, ge-
ometry, trigonometry, surveying,
chemistry, physics, book keeping,
English composition, rhetoric, En-
glish literature, commercial law, po-
litical economy, zoology, geology,
botany, physical geography, anato-
my, physiology, hygiene, psychology,
logic, ethics, elements Of agriculture,
farm economy, farm law, farm ac-
counts, science Of agriculture, stock
breeding, stock feeding, horticulture,
senior agriculture, farm appliances,
and lectures on other technical agri-
culture supports. The full course
covers d period of three years and
ends with the degree Of Bachelor Of
Agriculture. Two short courses are
offered. One covering period Of
one year, including all the purely
agricultural subjects in the full
course. The other short course be-
gins the first Wednesday in Janua-
ry, and lasts but three months, or the
College Winter term. This will be
largely lecture course, to which
all applicants over fifteen years Of
age will be admitted without exam
nation. These lectures aare desig-
mated for those whose time for the
study of these subjects is limit.
ed to single winter. Its the pur-
pose to give as much thoroughly
useful information on these. subjects
as the limited time will allow.
AL students in the Agricultural
courses will be required to take a
course in manual training in the
shops of the Mechanical department,
sufficient to receive a practical
knowledge. Of working in wood and
iron. y5
This is a new department in the
University and bids fair to be an
established success and it is hoped
that farmers of the State, both
young and old, will avail themselves
of this Winter course, and we feel
confident that they will find it profit
able to spend the Winter at the
University.
(. AS life is too shortfor one. man to
learn everything the trend Of the.
times is toward technical education,
striving after the greatest possible
proficiency in some ONE direction.
We arc glad to see that TIL Board
OF Regents recognize this fact and
are making Il faithful effort to broad
-eHthe Institution in that direction
by the addition of new technical
courses, which must result in in
creasing the attendance at the
University. ..:t E4~~ !.
