"GUSTY wINDsn ABROAD.

The storm of Thursday was of un- usual severity. The wind blew tremen- dously, even for these breezy heights. The trees were denuded of fruit and leaves, and many twigs and larger branches were twisted off. But the rain came, the blessed rain. It came in long white slanting lines, searching out every crevice in roof and clapboard, filling cisterns and brooks, and in many in- stances even the wells were filled nearly to the top. One can now use big basin of water to wash ones face without feel ing wasteful or extravagant.

A couple of our amateur cyclers, with 60 mile spin the other Sunday, on their wheels, over our Connecticut hills, to call on their best girls, and get the hang of their "bikes." Like the owl and the pussy cat, they returned "by the light of the moon," and got home after mid night, but we did not see them exercis- ing their bicycles any the next day.

THE CHILDREN THANK HIM.

A. $. Baldwin of Riverside cottage, evidently has not forgotten that he was once boy himself, with vivid recol- lection of the pleasures of good swing, for he purchased new strong rope and had fine swing put up on MT Foulois' mammoth elm, to a limb nearly 3U feet high, which has been generously patron ized by the children of the neighborhood, and sparingly by girls flom the Vacation home. One of the favorite methods of utilizing 1t is to climb up ladder set against the side of the tree, putting one foot into the rope, grasping the rope firmly with the hands,and with spring swinging far out over the river bank As there is spice of danger about it, il seems to be enjoyed about equally with the boys and the girls. Another method Is to swing in a circle, with pushers sta. tioned on the outer circle to keep then going. This certainly gives variety oi motion and exercise of muscle.

THEY DON'T GET AHEAD OF BROTHER


 Oliver Gum is spending the summer, as usual, on the shore of Bantam lake, with sister. Some strangers don't take him to be a person who has ever travelled much and some of the city folks ply him with good many questions. Some smart ladies. who had been out on the lake after pond lilies, with poor success Gas about as soon as one sticks it's head above water It is plucked), stopped and asked him if he could tell why there were not more pond lilies this summer. ssOh yes, he says, Sits all on account of the drought Some fishermen, who had not had any luck, thinking to guy him little, asked him about the fishing and the kind of bait he used. He an swered them politely, that he sometimes used worms, sometimes boomers or min nows. Then they asked how the large butterflies wonld do for bait. Well he said, s'he did not know, he had nevel tried them, but he would recommend that they iifst try humming birds Running birds wiggled around lively Il the water and attracted the attention Q the fish. He felt sure if they would bal their hooks with humming birds, the, would catch fine string of suckers"

Probably the most interesting section
of the Transportation building at Jackson

in securing an exhibit of books written

The Poets World.

Already never arose out Of sheer
gladness of heart and lustihood of
fancy. To the poetic imagination
the difficulties, depravities and insuf-
ticiency of actual life have always
been especially manifest and oppres-
sive But the poetic imagination at
its best never rests in discomfort, in
the mere apprehension and recital of
woes. 1t is creative and seeks rem
edy. orat least refuge. From the first
it has found some approach TO that
peace and sincerity which it cannot
do without. but which actual life
seems to deny everywhere in nature.
Thus the poets favorite haunt has al
ways been the wales and the groves,
the flowery banks and the green
fields.
But nature wholly unpeopled still
failed to satisfy. and so the poets, in
their aspiration after earthly perfec
ton, fell to colonizing their placid
retreats with the children Of Their
fancy. Thus came Already the land
of fantastic shepherds and sheperd
esses. where everybody was honest
and simple, where the tending ol
sheep was but pastime, and the
chanting of madrigals the chief pur
suit. .--Sciibner's.

A WOODBURY. WOMAN DIES
From Shock Caused by An At
tempted Operation.

A Mrs. Kennedy of Woodburn
came up to Salem several days ago
to secure relief from tumor, from
which she has suffered for sixteen
years. She. stopped at the Kansas
house and Drs. Jessup and Cart
wright were summoned to perform
an operation. she, was given an
examination Wednesday afternoon,
with the intent Of performing the
operation but the physicians after
examination found the tumor to be
cancerous, In a very advanced stage,
and concluded au operation was
not practical. She was far gone In
the development of the disease and
never rallied after the examination
was made and probably died from
the effects of the shock. The can
Ger had broken down the tissues
and caused structure which the
doctors say must have caused death
in few months at the farthest.
Mrs. Kennedy died at 8 q. m. She
bade' her husband farewell, and
seemed fully conscious of the ap
proach of death.
Mrs. P. L. Kennedy, maiden name
Mary G. Manning, was 35 years old,
daughter of Frank Manning of Ger
vais, and leaves a husband and two
children. She was a Methodist,
and her funeral will take place at
the Woodburn M. E. church, Fri
day, at IL a. III. Mrs. Kennedy
was distantly related to Mrs. Chas.
Calvert of this city. Mr.. Kennedy
was very much prostrated by the
sudden death of his wife. He says
she had been suffering twelve OF
fifteen years and that an operation
had to be performed though the
shock was to great for her to bear.
He is satisfied that everything was
done to save her life that could be
done.

NEGROES IN OREGON.
they Propose to Have the State
Constitution Amended.

A meeting of colored citizens OF
Portland held at the Nonpareil
hall, corner First and Madison
streets, for the purpose of taking
action in regard to eliminating from
the state constitution the dead-let-
ter section relating to negroes. The
legislature will be called upon to
wipe out this stain upon the consti-
tuition. The preamble and resolu-
ton, which will come up for discus
sion this evening, are as follows:
Whereas, the constitution of the
state of Oregon provides, article l,
paragraph 81, that only white for
eigners can enjoy equal privileges
with native-born citizens relative to
property rights; and
Whereas, by article /, paragraph
35, il is provided that no negro or
moatto can come into, reside in, or
be within this state, and has no
civil rights whatever within this
state; and
Whereas, by article 2, paragraph
2, it is provided that only white
male citizens of the United States
can vote therein; and
Whereas, although these obnox-
ious provisions have been abrogated
by the constitution of the United
States they still appear 10 the con,
stitution of this state as reproach
to the intelligence of its citizens,
and tend to bring down ridicule on
that instrument of fundamental
law; therefore be it
Resolved, That we take such
steps as shall be necessary to so
amend the constitution of this state
that it shall, as regards the matters
above referred to, be in harmony
with the constitution of the United
States.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
BY the State Board of Equalizat-
ion.

Whereas, the time allowed by the
present law to the state board OF
equalization is too short to enable
said board to perform satisfactorily
the duties imposed upon it by the
present law, it is, therefore,
Resolved, That law should be
passed by the legislature allowing
said board sixty days in which to
do its work; that thirty days of said
time be used by securing informa-
ton In reference to the value of
property in the several counties of
the state; and that the members of
said board be allowed compensation
for the actual amount of money ex-
pended by them for transportation
while so securing said information;
and that the session of said board
commence on the first Monday in
November of each year.
"That, Whereas, the present law
allowing the deduction of indebted
ness and the exemption of the same
from the taxable property of each
taxpayer, furnishes an opportunity
for the wealthy persons of the state
to escape their just portion of the
burdens OF taxation, and is there
fore,
Resolved, That, in the opinion
of the board, said law should be so
amended as not to allow any ex-
emption on account of Indebtedness.
"That whereas the assessment
of mortgages, under the present law,
has tendency to prevent a proper
equalization of the assessment of the
property of the state of Oregon, 1t is,
therefore,
"Resolved, That, in the opinion OF
the board, said law should be repeal
ed. 1t is further
"Resolved, That. In the opinion Of
the board, bach taxpayer should be
assessed OH the amount of property >
he actually owned on the first day
Of March of each year at IL O'Clock
at noon of said day. 1t is further
"Resolved, That, In the opinion
of the board, the present law should
he so amended as to divide rea
property into as many classes as the
nature of said property requires IL
order to properly equalize the assess
ment of real property
