No Profit In wheat.

A few days ago J. b. Stump, says the
Salem Statesman, received from the
statistician of the United States depart
ment of agriculture list of questions
relative to the cost of the production OF
wheat in Oregon, the information to be
used by the government in bulletins re-
earding the wheat industry in the United
States. Mr.. Stump brought the matter
up before the Salem grange and after
spirited discussion of the subject sue

Safety OF Railroad Trains.

railroad in this country, what Is his

commission, just out, it is one chance in
l,4Ol $40. II young man OF 20,
Tilted by his sweetheart, should deter
mine to commit suicide without sin by
getting accidentally killed in railroad
accident he might do it. Certainly he
might do it. II he were to get on a train
as passenger and ride, at the rate OF
35ls miles an hour, day and night every
hour of every day and every day in the
year, if he had average luck he would
eventually get surcease from the gnaw-
ing pain at his heart somewhere in the
course of passing over 81, DAP ,482 miles,
for according to these official figures enc
passenger is killed for every 5,542, 482

From the Philadelphia Press.
Amatus Lesitanus relates the case of a
monk who would faint ON seeing rose
and who never quilted his cell at the mon
astery while that flower was blooming
Orfila, less questionable authority, tells
how Vincent, the great painter, would
swoon upon going into room in which
roses were blooming, even though he did
not see them. Valtaid tells of
an army officer who was frequently
thrown into violent commissions by
coming in contact with the little
flower known as the pink. Orfila,
our authority on the case OF Vincent, the
painter above related, also tells of the
case Of lady 46 years of age, hale and
hearty, who, if present when linseed oil
was being boiled for any purpose, would
be seized with violent fits Of
coughing, swelling OF the face

Starved Himself to Death.

Ira Krum, a fanatic, of Rondout, N.
Y, who for years has claimed to have
been the recipient of revelations from
God and has lived hermit's life, died
at his home in Snyder Hollow, among
the Catskllls, Tuesday night. His
death is thought to have been caused by
starvation. He announced some time
ago that he had vision in which he had
been told that if he should fast for 40
days he would be able to walk on the
water. He tasted the number of days
and then attempted to walk on the water,
but it didn't go and he was nearly
drowned. Not long after this he de-
clared he had another vision, in which
he had been commanded to fast 20 days
more. He started on this fast, but be-
came 30 broken down that neighbors
compelled him to take nourishment, but
the intervention came too late. krum
was extremely religious, and claimed to
have many visitations.

A plan has just been perfected where
by the gold reserve in the treasury may
be increased to the limit Of 500, 1000, 900.
An understanding has been reached with
the banks of New York that they shall
increase the proportion of gold on de-
post in the New York sub-streasury to
cover certified checks presented by inn
porters in payment Of customs duties.
By the system now in vogue the banks
keep special deposits in the sub treasury
for this use, and heretofore the gold has
not averaged more than l per cent, the
bulk of payments being made in treasury
notes. As the deficit in the gold reserve
is now only SIS 200, 900 and the associated
banks OF Now York have on hand fully
800, OOO, 900, it is thought the system
which ia the result OF the recent visit OF
Secretary Carlisle to New York will be
carried through.

There are many thousand and tens Of
thousands OF men and women at the
present day, whom the church for one
reason or another does not teach, on
whom the teachings Of religion have lost
their hold. And in this class of persons
are included not only many emf

of those practical men who have

Look Out for = Hard Winter.

From the New York Tribune.
Farmer Cushman of Chensngo county,
this state, thinks we are going to have a
hard winter, for the following reasons:
Corn husks are very thick; hogs melt
runs Jagged; the breastbone OF May
goose shows spots resembling the canals
Of Mars; the ducks are flying in w.
shaped instead of V-shaped focks, and
green frogs are changing their skins and
seeking springs for winter quarters. The
scoffers at superstitions may deride the
seer of Chenango and may hold, in their
folly, that none but green frogs would go
to springs for winter quarters, but the
signs Get forth have beeu we'll attested,
and the senators at Washington bad
better quit trfling and dispose of the
business before them, or blizzard might
catch them out in their summer gar
ments and compel them to put on slum-
Der robes for the senatorial togas.

The authorities at Madrid having been
informed that the anarchists of that city
are threatening to blow up the bourse.
all strangers will henceforth be excluded
from that building unless identified.
Three anarchists were arrested Sunday
at Barcelona. One of the anarchists ar
rested was the keeper of q tavern where
the anarchists have been meeting. 1t is
reported that a clue has been found to
the location of the head center of an
anarchist conspiracy which is said to
exist all over Europe and to have
branches in the United States. 1t is re-
ported that there is connection between
the anarchists of Europe and Chicago.
In future no reports OF trials of anarchists
will be allowed to be published.
The feeling of alarm is in no way less
ened by the report that the government
Of Spain is compelled to ask for the assist
ance OF the governments of other coun-
tries. The suggestion that Gen. Martinez
Campos be given unlimited power re-
ceives general approval. The veteran
soldier mentioned is known to be man
