Saturday Half Holiday.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2s.-[Special. THE
first law which has passed the present
legislature, goes into effect today. 1t is
the result of the Saturday half holiday
movement. Many of the prominent
business concerns of the city and all the
banking houses are quite willing to ac-
cept the innovation, and the employees
can hardly be expected to object to an
arrangement which gives them larger
leisure. The law making the day legal
half-holiday may or may not commend
itself to those whom it will most effect.
But its provisions are substantially in
agreement with custom already volun-
tarily adopted by many of our largest
firms. In the course of years it has be-
come patent to those employers that
four or five hours can be taken from the
weeks work without seriously impeding
business. In summer the custom among
wholesale firms is almost universal, and
there is little reason for believing that a
law regulating it will be less successful
in Illinois than it has been in other
states.

The ulinois Ballot

New York. Jan. 2S.-GSpeciall-The
Tammany organization favors a change
of the election ballot in this state. The
kind of ballot favored is similar to tho
blanket ballot now in use in Illinois.
Upon it the names of each party's can
didates are arranged in parallel col
umns, with the name of the party over
them. A circle in front of the name of
the party indicates when mark is
placed in it that the intention of the
voter is to vote the straight ticket.
There is also circle in front of the
name of each candidate, and these are
used when the voter votes split ticket
It is not now the intention to have an
emblem placed upon the ballots.

OREGON WHEAT PRODUCTION.
The Best In the worId---What is Said of
the Palouse Region.

the Palouse Region.
Geo. Belshaw, of the famous Oregon
wheat producing family; is on visit to
the Palouse region. OF grain production
there Mr.. B. says: ''The general price
of land is from $40 to $50 per acre ac-
cording to quality. This last year was
unusually dry for wheat raising, the
same as in the Willamette, but the aver
age about here was twenty-five bushels
per acre, and would have been more if
the weather had remained cooler just at
the time it came out in head and began
to fill. believe by some different mode
of farming, their quality of wheat which
is from seven to ten cents per 100 pounds
lower than ours, might be made to reach
within two or three cents. In the first
place, they are running their land just
like many in the valley have done, rails
ing wheat after wheat for a dozen years
or more without following it, plowing
thin and cultivating the wild oats, which
are getting pretty thick, and generally
seeding with spring wheat which is the
little chaf red club, one bushel per acre
and sometimes less, and just as it comes
from the threshing machine, with all
the small grains which is great detri-
ment to the whole crop.
1t needs to be well cleaned through a
good tanning mill, small grains taken
out, and then sown about one bushel
and peck to an acre. I think some
other white winter varieties would do
better, and should be put in during the
fall, as early as possible, SO as to escape
this burning, and which would get past
that warm time while filling and bring
"a better price in the market. 1 have
just received letter from a gentleman
in Ohio, by the name of T. P. Vance.
He wants me to furnish him with 125, 900
bushels of wheat for seed this season. 1
think, by his letter, that his idea is to
sell it out in small quantities. 1 am
sorry he had not let me known sooner
but you can see now what might be done,
and what has already been accomplished
with the best wheat of all nations from
Lane county and the prospect is encour-
aging that we shall again achieve laurels
and show to the world that the state OF
Oregon is invincible.''

LEGISLATIVE BODIES ApIoURH
The Funeral to Occur on Monday at
the National Capitol.
TEMPORARY BURIAL IN THAT o1rr
No Crepe nor Anything TO Mar the
Serenity of the Household at the
Blaine Mansion

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.- Especial. T.
News is to the effect that nearly all
business is suspended in the various
state capitals, where Assem- blies have
adjourned in memory of the dead states
man, James G. Blaine. Following the
death yesterday came the president, and
in quick succession members of the cab
met, then one after another a constant
stream of the most prominent people in
official life called and left words of con-
dolence. Returning from his visit to
the house of death, President Harrison
issned proclamation to the people of
the United States announcing the death,
giving brief resume of the public
career of the late illustrious statesman,
paving tribate to his devotion to public
interests, to his marked ability and his
exalted patriotism.
Up to late hour in the afternoon the
remains lay in the front room, south
west corner, third floor, where the pa
tient has been uninterruptedly confined
since the beginning of his fatal illness.
There is no crepe on the door, and no
indication, since the throng of callers
partially ceased, that there has been
anything unusual to mar the serenity of
the household. President Harrison sent
for Senator Frye, of Maine, to consult
about Blaine's funeral, which he
thought should be public and at the
capitol. OF course there has been no
opportunity to consult with the family.
but Senator Frye had no doubt they
would interpose no objection to this
honor being paid to the memory of tho
dead statesman. AT 1: 80 p. N. it was
stated by friends of the family that tho
funeral arrangements had been SO far
determined upon that services would be
held Monday forenoon, and the remains
would be at least temporarily inferred

N. Y. Sun. During a recent trip
across the Atlantic the passengers on
one steamer had vivid illustration of
the endurance of the stormy petrol.
Shortly after the ship left the Irish
coast two or three of these birds were
sighted at the stern of the ship. One
had been caught at some previous time
and its captor tied bit of red flannel or
ribbon round its neck and let it GO.
The bit of red made the bird very con-
spicuous and it could be easily identi-
fed. That bird, with others that could
not be easily distinguished, followed the
ship clear across the ocean. Rarely,
during the daytime at least, was it out
of sight, and if for an hour or two it was
lost to view while feeding on the refuse
cast overheard it soon reappeared, and
the last seen of it was within a few
miles of Sandy Hook, when it disap-
peared, perhaps to follow some outward
bound steamer back to Ireland. When
the fact is considered that the ship, day
and night, went at an average speed of
nearly twenty miles an hour the feat
performed by the daring traveller can be
better appreciated. When or how it
rested is inexplicable.

HANDLING A HERD.
Skill and Daring Needed by the Suc-
ceSsful Cowboy.
ScrIbn er's Magazine.

ScrIDn er's Magazine
The task of the drover and his assistant
cowboys in getting the herds from the
Southern ranches 10 the Northern shipping
points was one involving both skill and
daring. The daily programme was as regu-
lar as that of a regiment on The march.
From morning until noon the cattle were
allowed to Craze in the direction of their
destination, watched by the cowboys In re-
lays. The cattle by this time were uneasy
and were turned into the trail and walked
steadily forward eight or ten miles, when
at twilight they were halted for another
Craze. AS darkness came on they were
gathered closer and closer into cOmpac
mass by the cowboys riding steadily In con-
stantly lessening circles around them until
at last the brutes lay down chewing their
cuds and resting from the days trip. Near
midnight they would usually get UP, stand
a while and then lie down again, having
changed sides. Al this time extra care was
necessary to keep them from aimlessly wan
deTing off in the darkness. Sitting on their
ponies or riding slowly round and round
their reclining charges the cowboys passed
the night on sentinel duty, relieving one an
other at stated hours.
When skies were clear and the air brecing
the task OF cattle-drlVlDg was a pleasant and
healthful one. But there came rainy days,
when the cattle were restless and when 1t
was anything but enjoyable riding through
the steady dOwnpOur. Then especially
were the nights wearisome and the cattle
were ready at any Time to stampede
No one could tell what caused stamp ede
any more than one can tell the reason of
the strange panics that attack human gath
erings at times. A fash of lightning, a
cracking stick, VOLTS howl-Iittle things
in themselves, but in moment every
horned head was lifted and the mass OF hair
and horns, with fierce, frightened eyes
cleaning like thousands of emeralds, was
off. Recklessly. blindly, in whatever direc-
ton fancy lead them, they went over bluff or
morass, it mattered not, and fleet were the
horses that could keep abreast of the lead
ers. But some could do it, and lashing
their ponies TO their best gait the COWBOYS
followed at breckneck speed. Getting on
one side of the leaders the effort was to
turn them a little at first then more and
more. until the circumference of a great
circle was being described. The cattle
behind blindly followed, and soon the front
and rear Joined and milling" commenced,
Like II mighty milestone round and round
the bewildeTed creatures raced until they
were wearied out or recovered from their
fright.
But the cowboy. with his white wide
trimmed hat, his long leathern cattle-whip.
his lariat and his clanking spur, is now a
thing OF the past.

HOW THEY VOTED.
English and HiIborn Try
to Find Out.
The Republican Congressman and the
Democratic Contestant Get to
Work at AItamont.

Official proceedings in the English. Hilborn
Congressional contest began at Altamont
yesterday morning.
On Wednesday evening Warren b. Eng
lish, the Democratic claimant, and s. G.
Hilborn, the Republican possessor of seat
in Congress from the Third District
in this State, went to LiYermore. tie
former accompanied by Garret McEnerny,
his attorney, and Ii. A. Lultreli, notary
public. At the dinner-table the contes-
tants sociably discussed the tariff and at
bedtime drank little champagne together.
In the morning the party drove TO Alta
mont, nine miles distant, where the alleged
Juggling with the returns took place.
In this precinct Cleveland received 81
votes and Hayes PC, Warren English, the
Democratic candidate, being credited with
Is votes to Hilhorn's 81.
English claimed that the figures were re-
versed, and after getting 80 or so voters in
that precinct to make affidavits that they
voted for him, FLED notice OF a contest.
Then Hilborn went down there and found
about thirty-seyen voters willing to make
aftidavits that they voted for him, so the
h0nOTs were even IN afhdavts.
Hllborn received majority Of but twenty
four votes in the entire district, so that a
change of twelve votes would unseat him.
English expected TO get through with
taking his sworn testimony to-day. Less
than fifteen voters swore yesterday that
they voted for him and to-day he will prob
ably know just how many will still say
they voted for him.
When he gets through, Hilborn W i'll have
forty days in which to take his testimony.
The testimony will then be forwarded to the
House of Representatives, which will ad-
judge. the contest.
A recount Is out OF the question, as all
the votes in several counties would have 10
be recOunted if any were.

EFFECTS OF SURPRISE.
Deafness and Loss of Speech Due to
Sudden Joy or Grief.


St Louis Globe Democrat.
Sir William Daily. consulting aural sur
geon TO ST. Georges Hospital. in London,
has been noting down some strange Incl
dents in practice that is to say, certain
cases within his own experience as medi-
cal practitoner-which he cUnfesses him
self unable TO account for by any course of
cause and effect with which the profession
can be said TO be at all accurately familiar.
The most curious have reference to the ef-
fects of emotion on the various senses. One
is that of lady who was standing before
her toilet-table and looking through an
open door into her husbands dressng-roOm,
when she saw in mirror the reflection OF
her husband in the act of cutting his throat
From that moment she was absolutely
deaf.
A similarly sudden and complete loss of
hearing happened some years later to a
young married lady who was suddenly con-
fTonted with her husbands dead body at
time when. she believed him 10 be quite
well, and when she was going to meet him
after long absence. On various occasions
Sir William Daily has noted the remark
able effect produced upon the hearing by
emotional Influences, not only by great
mental shocks but by mental strain. He
has known not only sudden grief but also
overwhelming Joy instantly to make per-
son quite dear.
Sir William Daily has known the sense
of smell to be lost by very strong emotional
influence. and with this the sense of taste.
a remarkable instance of loss OF a faculty
is that Of brother physician, who In boy
hood found himself suddenly deprived Of
the power of speech. He was a man of
middle age and robust appearance. His
hearing was perfect and he could under
stand all that was said, but his replies were
always communicated by pencil and paper
One day this physician announced that the
power of speech had returned as suddenly
as 1t had originally left him. He added that
he was entirely unable TO agcrlbe the re-
covery to any cause, and Sir William Dafby
confesses that his experience does not ena-
bic him to offer any exclamation.

THE PROTOPLASM.
Evolution of the Next
Political Campaign.
A Republican Organization Effected.
The TocaIoma Club Emerges From
Its ChrysaIis State.

II Is difficult to make the local political
pulse beat any faster than its normal rate
at the present time. The people have
yearning for a respite from controversy in
volvng policies or the distribution of Off
ces. Notwithstanding this state OF affairs
the aspr6nts for political leadership are
not disposed to fold their arms. There is a
State campaign to be fought out two years
hence. and the business Immediately in
hand is to organize the working staff to
direct lis fortunes.
With this object in view, there was q
gathering of Republicans at the late head
quarters of the defunct Tocaloma Club on
Eddy street last evening. Forty gentlemen
were present. Animated by a resolute nur-
pose TO perpetuate Republican principles,
they resolved to organize as a Republican
club to keep the old guard together and gain
new accessions to battle for future victories.
=. A. K0egel was elected president and
L. Dennery secretary.
The meeting was of a strictly business
character. 1t was agreed that the fine club
rooms on Eddy street should be leased for
the next two years. and that the work of
enrolling new members should begin forth
with. All who signed the roll, and there
were forty who wrote down their names
last night, agreed to pay $40 each as an
Initiation fee. The meeting adjourned to
meet on Thursday evening, April 6, after

1T WAS NOT FAIR.
SO Says Secretary Waite
About the Capital.
HIS OPINION OF REMOVAL.
He Says That Three Sacramento Leg
isIators Were Not Given
Chance TO Protest.
Special to THE MoRNISG CALI.

SACRAMENTO March 23.-Secretary OF
State Waite does not believe that the capt.
tai removal question was legally adopted
by the Legislature, and is writing an
opinion on the subject. He has taken legal
advice and says the submission amendment
did not receive the constitutional Two
thirds vote in the Senate. AS the Secretary
is the lawful arhiter of the question of
what shall appear on the official ballot, his ,
views are particularly interesting.
Dlr. Waite, on being asked by a reporter
ogive his views on the question of the re-
moval of the capital, said in substance:
80 many lawyers disagree as to the con-
sttutional and legal points involved that l
dislike to express myself. because cannot
do so with entire confidence. The question
whether Sacramento is proper place for
the capital Of the State and whether 1t
Is policy to abandon property which has
cost millions of money and drain as many
millions more from the people 10 build
another Capitol are matters thatthe masses
will decide according 10 their ideas of public
policy. or their self-intcTest.
'If the capital is to be removed, think
the question should be made an issue in
cam paign; that there should be free dis
cussion of the subject before the reople.
rather tnan tnaL q proposition SnOulu come
suddenly in the night without any warning,
except in whispers. AS it comes before the
public now 1t has an air of unfairness about
it. A Senator from Sacramento was out of
his seat when the question was sprung. He
was wholly unprepared for the move. and,
believing a vote in the Senate had been car
ried by a constitutional majority, he changed
his vote 10 the affirmative In order to save a
reconsideration. Then the Senate refused
to allow him 10 change his vote. when just
his vote was found necessary to carry the
measure. Every one knows the Senator
from Sacramento is against a removal Of
the capital. and yet his vote was given for
the purpose Of moving for a reconsldera-
tion.
Two representatives, of Sacramento in
the other house were not in their seats. 1t
was late at night There was some fun
and some spite in the scheme. 1t was hardly
a dignifed or a fair way to inaugurate so
very important movement as that of re-
moving the capital of a State and deferor-
atipg the value of millions of dollars worth
of property. The mode by which the
question can be brought before the courts
prior to the next general election is under
discussion and Is matter about which
lawyers disagree"
