Forged Checks.

A check very evidently forged has been
passed upon two of our merchants during
tie week. The forger's name, as given to
those with whom he has had dealings Is
W. Oswald, and the name signed to the
check, Chs. U'ren. Monday night $40 was
given to Oswald on this collateral, and the
person hol ling the check went to the First
National bank and was informed that no
person of that name had money on deposit
there. Later during the same night. we are
informed, Oswald presented similar check
with the same amount named and the same
signature attached-to another individual
and received $38 thereon. The draft was
an ordinary one according to the printed
form, and was drawn on the First National
bank of The Dalles for Sl4S 35. and made
payable to w. Oswald or bearer. A com
plete description of the individual was given
the police; but they have thoroughly
searched the city and cannot find him. 1t
is supposed that he left the city on some of
the night trains, and will not be seen here
again for some time.

Salem Independent. Some strange
things occur under the administration OF
our government. Jason Wheeler, OF AL
bany, was Indian agent at the Warm
Springs Agency under Clevelsnd's frat
reign, and when he went out of Office
and made settlement, he was reported
$500 short. A bill was presented for his
relief, but somehow was never acted
upon. Now comes Senator Mitchell,
who has succeeded In having the matter
re-examined in the interior department,
and as a result 1t is now claimed the gov
ernment owes Wheeler $3.50. II this be
true, the deficiency ball which passes con
gress will afford Mr.. Wheeler relief.

The recorder sat in his easy chair, and by
the expression on his countenance this
morning the reporter was assured that there
was nothing around his temple of justice
with which to point moral or adorn tale.
No hoboes--no "poverty-stricken" wretches
over whom to shed the tear of sympathy
and who, lured by the temptation of an In
dian and whisky bottle, had been induced
to commit crime. Nothing of this nature
marred the serenity of the atmosphere that
filled the recorders odice, and lighting
fresh cigar the pencil-pusher made his exit,
and wended his way to more fruitful
scenes, where vivid imagination could
pluck the fragrant flowers that bloom In
fancy's fertile fields.

The True Physician.

The money-making idea is one that
is dominant in the majority Of hu-
manity, and every occupation is look
ed upon as trade. Philanthropic
motives, pure and simple, are either
sneered at as visionary, uncharitably
branded as trick of trade, or consid-
cred as a mere advertising dodge.
True medicine, however, proclaims
that the true physician is most happy
when the patients are most healthy ;
this idea the common mind rejects as
an absurd and impracticable doctrine.
There is belief very generally spread
that the physician has no interest in
the preservation of health, but rather
rejoices when there is the most sick
ness. This may be true in rare cases,
but as rule it is untrue. The ply
sician who practices his profession for
mere mercenary motives has certainly
a very low character and a decidedly
sordid spirit. Some one has most
truthfully said that the sanitary en-
gineering and preventive skill which
make our homes sweet and comforta-
BILE tend to check disease and impov-
erish those who dare to bring down
the medical art to the level of a trade.
No tradesman would get up in the
middle of cold winters night, and
ride ten miles without the prospect of
pay, and yet the physician does this
often. The true physician, therefore,
becomes a teacher of beneyolence.-

Railway Accidents.

According to the Fifth Statistical
Report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the number of railway
employees killed during the year end
ing June 80, 1892, was 2,554, the
number of employees injured being
28,267. The number of passengers
killed was 376 in 1892, as against 293
in 1891; while the number Of passen-
gers injured was 1927 in 1892, as
against 2,972 in 1891. An assignment
Of casualties to the opportunity offer
ed for accidents in 1892 shows l en-
ploye to have been killed for every 322
employees, and 1 employe to have
been injured for each 29 men in the
employ Of the railways. A similar
comparison shows one passenger kill
ed for each l, ,491, $40 passengers car
ried or for each 35, 5,542, 1882 passenger
miles, and passenger injured for
each 1888 passengers carried or
each 4, ,140,966 passenger miles. The
largest number of casualties to en-
ployes resulted from coupling and un-
coupling cars, 378 employees having
been killed and 10,319 injured while
rendering this service. Of the total
number killed in coupling and uncoup-
ling cars, 253, and of the total number
injured, 1896 were trainmen. The
accidents classed as "falling from
cars were in this year, as in previous
years, responsible for the largest
number of deaths among employees,
the number killed in this manner be-
GIL. Of this number 485 were train
men. Collisions and derailments
were responsible for the death of 431
employees. Of this number 1856 we're
trainmen. This class of accidents is
responsible also for the largest
number of casualties to passengers.
Thus 1T passengers were killed and
1883 were injured by collisions and
derailments during the year. Coils
ions alone were responsible for
the death of 286 employees and 136
passengers.

4 Society Mans Predlcamento

A very amusing story has just
reached me concerning prominent
young society man who has just re-
tuned from Chicago. He was board
ing at the home of relatives while
there, and as large crowds came flock
ing in during the past week he was so
accommodating as to give up his room
and sleep on sofa in the parlor. One
morning he oversight himself, and as
his door was unlocked what was his
surprise to find three pretty Louis
Vile young women enter the room.
He had presence of mind enough to
roll under the sofa aud back into a
dark corner before they threw open
the shutters. But, although he had
tucked himself away, he had neglect
ed to hide his clothes, which were
thrown across rocking chair. The
girls saw the clothes, but, believing
they had been left there accidentally by
the lady of the house, thought moth
ing about them and began a
lively chat about the matters of the
day.
The young man did not mind his i'm
prisonment at first, but grew very
nervous as the moments gradually
heightened into an hour. He stood
it for two hours, and at last grew SC
exasperated that he thumped upon
the floor and meekly put his head out
and asked the young women to leave
him until he put on his clothes. II
is needless to say that their embar.
rassment was great, and that none o1
them mentioned it while in Chicago
but as the young man has since recov
cred from the shock, he has been un.
able to restrain himself from telling q
few friends Of his awkward
predicament. Louisville Courier

good time while you're young.

Mr.. Tompkins gazed in blank aston
ishment at Tommy. Slowly the sig
nifcance Of the hint dawned upon
him. Producing a silver dollar he
said:
"Take it, Tommy. When yor
really do become father I hope il
won't be your misfortune to have
son who is smarter than yourself. "

Freedom for the Cotton Farmers.

Nothing that have ever happened
to the Southern farmer has been a
greater blessing in disguise than the
low price Of cotton. So long as the
price of cotton kept up to ten cents
pound, men could get advances of the
cotton crop and could squeeze
through, on purchased food for man
and beast, at enormous rates of inter-
est. The cotton croppers managed to
exist from year to year on capital,
borrowed at rate per annum that a
city merchant would hesitate to pay
to tide over temporary difficulty. The
merchant, the fertilizer man and the
railroads waxed fat. But at the low
prices that have prevailed for some
time, there is no margin for the men
who grow cotton at such an exhorbl-
tant cost. They cannot borrow mon
ey for supplies, and have been COM
PEELED to raise these things, and grow
less cotton, From all over the coun-
try. this year comes the cheering
news: "Our people will have plenty
to eat and to feed the ami
mails, no matter what the price of cot
tom.
In one of the Eastern cotton States,
the statistics collected by the board
Of agriculture from hundreds Of care
full correspondents in every part Of
the State, show that there is an enor-
nous increase of cereal crops and for
age, and that the number of hogs rails
| ed is over 100 per cent. increase over
last year. At the same time the cot
| ton crop, on reduced acreage, would
have run higher than usual, but for
| the damage of the recent hurricane.
That this hurricane will largely re-
duce the cotton crop, and very seri-
ously the tobacco crop, and to some
| extent other crops, is undeniable, and
| will tend towards higher prices for
these staples. But the lesson has
taken hold of the farmers and will
bear fruit for the future, no matter
what the price of cotton.
A ride on any of the railroads
! through North and South Carolina and
other States, shows wonderful in
crease in the area in peas and clover,
particularly in the cowpea felds-the
Southern clover. And thousands Of
hogs will fatten cheaply on the pea
fields this fall, where none we're rails
ed before. When once our Southern
farmers fully feel by experience the
benefit and the independence growing
out of diversified farming, they will
rapidly come to the point when their
cotton crop will be really their money
crop, that is, their surplus crop, the
food. andexpenses having been made
out Of their cereals and live stock.
When this time comes they can, to
| some extent, control the price Of their
staple, for it will keep easily; and
| men out Of debt and with plenty to
eat, will not be compelled to rush their
cotton to market for whatever price
the spectators choose to offer. When
the Southern farmer fullyrealizesthat
he cansproduce everything he needs,
with q surplus Of food products to
sell, and does it, he will hold the
whip handle on the cotton market,
while he grows twice or thrice as much
| Of it per acre as he did on the old
plan of slavery to the merchant
