Something that Pickler Never Manag-
ed to Get


The house dearly loves good story.
1t will go out OF its way at any time
and interrupt and incidentally postpone
any sort of debate to listen to one,
says the Washington Post Last Mon
day Mr. PiclSler was speaking under
the five-minute rule.
And now, Mr.. Speaker" he said Il
will conclude my remarks with a story
concerning Jewish friend of mine"
The speakers gave fell. "The time
II the gentleman from North Dakota
has expired he said.
Move that the gentleman's time be
extended one minute" yelled a member
bounding out OF his chair as though
someone had placed bent pin in 1t.
II desire to return my thanks" said
Mr.. Pickler. THE courtesy which has
5cen shown me awakens a responsive
chord in my bosom. II is not often In
great national crisis like the present
one man Is allowed to occupy the floor
TO the exclusion Of all others. In the
ensuing years shall carry with me to
my dying day as one Of my most pre-
cious memories the recollection of the
kindness which was made manifest in
the action Of my friend. II l fail to
express my gratitude in terms sufii-
ciently direct, believe me that It Is not
fault Of my heart, but merely an
inability Of the tongue. / will conclude
my brief and unimportant remarks up
on this great question with a story OF
a Jewish friend Of mine, who
"The time OF the gentleman from
North Dakota has expired" said the
speaker
Move that the time be extended one

anxious seat
There was no objection and Mr. Pick

his third reference to his Jewish friend

The COUNTY OFFICERS.
Multnqtaah's Taxpayers Intend to Make
an Investigation.

Portland, Nov. 11.-At meeting of
taxpayers. tonight the reports of the
committees who were appointed sew
eral days ago to endeavor to secure a
reduction in the assessment and to in
yestigate the conduct of county Off
cials in relation to the county finances,
were read and adopted. The report of
the committee to investigate the coun-
ty officials reflected severely on their
method of doing business and the COM
mittee had gone so far as to request
Prosecuting Attorney Hume to issue
warrants for the arrest of the sheriff.
county clerk, and treasurer, for the
purpose of fining them for not making
up and publishing their reports as re-
quired by statute. The prosecuting at
torney had refused to issue warrants
on the ground that the grand jury now
in session were investigating the coun-
ty matters. A committee of seven,
with ex-senator Corbett as chairman,
was appointed to wait upon the state
board of equalization for the purpose
of securing reduction of Multnomah
county's assessment. The committee
appointed to investigate the county Of
ficials was instructed to pursue its in
vestigations. The committees already
in existence were empowered to in
crease their number to one hundred
from the tax payers Of the county to
be known as the committee of safety,
who are to render their moral and f.
nancial support.

WAITING FOR DEVELOPMENTS.
Merchants Scared to Let Their Goods
Go to Honolulu.


San Francisco, Nov. 11.--Hawaiian
Consul Wilder was disagreeably sur
prised today when he presented draft
drawn on the provisional government
at the bank and the bank refused to
honor it. 1t was explained to him by
the bank officials that they did not
know what might happen in Honolulu
when the contents of Secretary Gresh-
ans letter became known there, and
they did not care to take any risks.
Heretofore drafts on the provisional
government have been paid without
question. It is also stated that the
merchants here are uneasy about the
situation, and they are making no ship
ments of freight to Honolulu on the
Monowai, which leaves here nextThurs-
day. They are waiting to see what is
going to happen.

Com STICKERs ILLEGAL. - The
Treasury Department has decided that
the pasting of an advertisement on
coin "is a DETACHMENT, within the
meaning of the Revised Statutes" 1t
is quite evident that FASTING a
sticker on one side OF a coin would
enable those inclined to debase the
currency to extract silver and fill in
with lead, in a manner that would,
without its removal, enable its pass
age upon the unwary. The device
was patented by w. C. Doubleday,
of Denver City, and he has sold terri
tory for its use including this State
to w. II. Allen, who has disposed of
quite number of stickers and the
right to use them under the patent.

stay. He obtained employment as
clerk for law and insurance firm

and included real estate as the main
object. He prospered and died
wealthy. The last effort of Mr.. p, in
which he felt an especial pride, was
