proudest of the Doll
Show.
All the year round it
holds its prestige as the
most complete representa-
ton of what is newest,
latest and best in Dolls
and doll fixings.
It's a fascinating place
to take children, it al
ways has something of
interest for the entertain
ment of their elders.
More than anything else
it excells in it's line of
dressed dolls, and there's
a miniature member Of
almost every walk of life,
properly customed, to be
looked at, to be admired
to be purchased if you
want it.
Early in October our
new stock Of imported
dolls will arrive and more
room than we've got to
spare will be required for
them. The new things
must have a showing
when they come, SO room
must be made for them
by sacrificing some Of
these which are here al
ready.
For example on one
counter are a hundred
maybe, of different sorts
and sizes with movable

CO\\ECTICTT,

The republicans propose to conduct an
aggressive campaign in Connecticut.
Governor Buckley says the state can be
carried for Harrison, and Chairman Car
ter of the republican national committee
is looking toward the land of steady
habits with intense longing. The pro-
gramme is to invite the most able men
of the party into the state to speak in
the principal cities; to distribute Doodle
with a lavish hand, and to divert atten-
ton as much as possible from one of the
main issues of the state election-the
steal of office from the democratic can
didates by the republican house of rep
rcsentativcs. The democratic national
and state committees should and no
doubt will be prepared to meet the on
slaught. Let it be a campaign of educa'
ton rather than blazing kerosene. Let
everybody work with a will and there
need be no fear of the result.

THE warden of the Tennessee penitenti-

THE warden of the Tennessee penitenti-
airy is not such an impressionablep person
as is the governor of the state. Itappears
that the wife of Col Henry Clay King
pleaded with the warden not to put the
convict stripes on her husband when he
arrived at the institution. The war
receive the same treatment as other con-
victs in tn, penitentiary, and not one
whit better. Mrs King had to content
herself with the warden's decision, but
she has taken up her residence just out
side the penitentiary gates, and the
chances are that her intercessions in heI
husbands behalf will be both frequent
and fcrvcnt.

ALI. of the United States consuls abroad
were months ago instructed as to the
part they are to play in the presidential
campaigns; they are to include in their
official reports, all of which are to
reach the state department in time to
be used as campaign documents, state
mcnts charging that business depression
exists in the country where they are
stationed and that it was caused by the
Mckinley tariff law. The reports are
already beginning to come in, and to be
circulated, although it is not plain how
it is expected to influence any votes
with such palpahly made to order re-
ports. The average American has a
thinking apparatus of his own, which
he has not forgotten how to use.

a LARGE export trade is now done
from California in the oil of the
eucalyptus tree. The industry dates
from 1855, when it was discovered that
a dccoction of the leaves removes the
scales from incrusted boilers. Later it
was found that the odor arising while
the dccocting was in progress relieved
bronchitis. The result of these dis
covcries led to the building of factory
for making the oil at San Lorenzo
From this factory twenty thousand
pounds of oil were last year exported to
England.

SCIENTIFIC study of the flood region
of the west must, in the opinion of the
Boston Transcript, be of slightly hope
less nature; for farmers do not know
how to farm there much better than
here. In other words, it seems to be
the prnny-wisc instinct of nne-tenths
of men who come into possession of a
large tract of ground to cut down as
many trees as possible in the shortest
space of time. This disregard of future
conditions brought about by tree
cutting is a very serious matter, which
may need congressional interference on
the upper Mississippi banks. AS Pro-
fcssor Watcrhousc, of Washington uni
vers;ty, says: at is certain that, even if
the forests do not increase the rainfall,
they at all events insure its slow and
useful distribution. This is a highly
important fact which statesmen
DESTROYS of improving the navigability
of the Mississippi river cannot afford to
ignore. The Importance of the subject
invites the grave consideration of our
national legislators. IL more stringent
forestry laws would at all serve to
maintain the volume of the Mississippi,
then congress would be faithless to its
duty if it failed to enact them. A judi
cious preservation of northern wood
lands might perhaps prevent the ex-
penditure of additional millions in
deepening the channel of the river. So
The complication of cares that the
great river brings upon its bcneficiaries
Is only cquallcd by its harvest OF

A State Flower.

Nothing has been heard of late con-
corning the selection of state flower.
The question of selecting such flower
has been discussed at various times
and in various places, but no satisfac-
tory conclusion has ever been arrived
at. The wild honeysucllle has been pro-
posed, and the golden rod" better
known down east" as yellow weed"
and several other flowers, but none has
been selected. What is wanted is a
compact flower and n durable flower,
one that can be worn in the button
hole or as corsage bouquet for lady,
and will maintain it's shape and color
all day. The yellow poppy, chosen by
California for state flower, is pretty
when at its best, but it will not ex-
pand it's petals unless the sun shines
on it, and withers and fades in an
hour a flower like that will not do for
Oregon. We must have n flower that
blooms in all wcathcrs, is of a7proper
size and native of Oregon, and grows
in all parts of the state. The Port
land OrcgOnian is on the track of such

is about the size of n marguerite, and is
in appearance, between n marguerite
and an aster. of n beautiful golden
color with a bronze center, hardy, neat
and enduring, and grows in any kind
of soil and climate. Mr.. Howell says
he has found it in every part of the
state. With state flower goes n motto.
and the Orcgonian will shortly give a
botanical description of this flower,
and print picture of it, and now pro.
poses as it's motto: 1--WE flourish, rain OF

THINK SHE WAS INSANE.
Theory of Government Officers in Lizzie
Rordcn's Case.

Aheory oI ouSerS III AlZZle
Rordcn's Case.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 15.-The Bor-
den murders and the arrest of Lizzie Bor-
den are still the great topic of discussion.
Neither Medical Examiner Dolan or City
Marshal billiard have heard anything
from Prof. Wood, who is analysing the
stomachs of the victims and comparing
the spots of blood on the axe and carpet.
They say if there is any truth in the re-
ports that Wood has discovered that She
blood upon the axe and carpets is the
same, it is very strange he has not heard
it officially.
The police to-day have been engaged in
chasing down suspect and testing state
ments made in many letters sent to the
Marshal. 1t is Lizzie Borden's side of the
story that is now attracting the attention
of the police. Officers Harrington and
Do uGherty have searched Rhode Island
unsucccssiully for the man who drove the
suspect to Newport.
1t is an open secret in police circles that
the government officers believe that Miss
Borden was insane at the time of
time of the murders, if she committed
them. Some evidence relating to the pri,
vate life of Miss Borden, now in the hands
of the police, bears directly on this side
of the case and strengthens the opinion
of the high police authorities who have
said that Miss Borden was not conscious
of her deeds, if she was implicated.
Reports from the Jail are to the effect
that Miss Borden is almost PROSTATE ed,
her nerves are shattered and she is COM
pletely broken down from the terrible
strain on her mind. She has all along
fully realized her position, and her re
markablc determination served her well
for the time. but now that she is openly
accused of the awful crime the strain has
proved too much for her.
The tide of public sympathy is turning
strongly now in favor of Miss Borden.
The story about the revengcful sailors
changed the opinion of hundreds who be
levrd Lizzie Borden guilty of the crime
of killing her father and stepmother and
although the story has been pretty thor
ou~ily exploded, she still has the sympa
thy and confidence of many. Already
there is Il strong feeling beginning to de
Velup itself against those who sought tC
weave he web of guilt about the youn2
woman.
