Bear on a Rampage.

Sunday evening about 8 o'clock
quite a lively commotion occurred
at the circus grounds near the de-
pot. 1t was caused by the escape
Of q large black bear, says the
Salem Statesman. When the beast
found that he was free he at once
proceeded to chew up a small sized
cinnamon bear which was quite
dead by the time his black bear
ship had satisfied his propensity
for bears of the cinnamon variety.
By this time a large number of cir
Gus employees and bystanders had
procured an array of ropes, torches,
poles and such other weapons as
might assist in his capture and
were right after him. Before he
was captured, however, he succeed
ed in tearing all the clothes off one
man and causing two men to fall
into a creek, besides affording an
unlimited amount of anxious labor
for the catchers and sport for the
advisory multitude of onlookers fol
over an hour. After his capture
the bear was placed in his cage
where hei not again liable to raise
such Cain as he did Sunday even.

Work at The paIIes.

Representative Hermann says he
has some doubt as to whatis neces-
sary for the improvement at. The
Dalles, but is of the opinion that if
the delegation should unitedly sup
port the proposition for a canal,
notso large as that at the Cascades,
but sufficient for all vessels that
can navigate the Upper Columbia.
that favorable action may result in
the future. Meanwhile he is of the
opinion that it would be a good
thing to have a portage road built
to accommodate the traffic of the
river. From his intimate know
ledge of the men who will compose
the river and harbor committee he
is convinced that they will never
agree to a boat railway. They have
argued the question many times
with him, and say that they do not
propose to commit the government
to a railway project of any kind,
and especially to one which will be
largely experimental and will cost
millions before it is completed and
$4,000 a year to operate. Repre-
sentative Hermann is of the opinion
that in time q canal can be built,
but the same reasons which are
presented for not building a boat
railway, committing the govern
ment to building railways, operates
against the idea of constructing a
portage road by the government.

Something Good.

A Portland lady sends to the
Statesman q first-elass receipt for
cooking stuffed tomatoes. AS the
sun-ripened fruit is very plentiful
on the market at present, It will be
very timely. OF the many forms
Of tomato cookery the lady says
this is the most appetizing: Take
firm, large, ripe tomatoes, and cut
deep piece from the stem end of
each-always the stem end. Press
the fruit between the palms to ex.
tract as many Of the seeds as pos.
sible without injury to the shape Of
the tomatoes. Make simple force
meat or use sausage meat, to which
add little minced parsley, shallot
and tarragon. In mixing these in
gradients, rub piece Of garlic over
the inside of bowl or on crust
of bread which is to be minced al
so.
Stuff the tomatoes with this force
meat and place them side by side
in a dish we'll buttered. Sift bread
crumbs thickly over the top, dot il
with bits of butter, a teaspoonful
in each lump, and one for each to!

The High Atmosphere.

Beyond $4,000 feet above sea
level the height reached by Glais-
her, in 1862, man has never been
able to navigate the air. Various
problems concerning the regions
farther away-such as the tempera-
ture, the pressure, the quantity of
moisture, the composition, Of the
air, etc-have attracted the atten-
ton of the physicists, and have at
last led to experiments of M. Her
mite, who, during the last few
months, has been sending UP pilot
balloons,carr registering appar-
atus. These balloons are very light
with a capacity of about 100 to
about 200 cubic feet. Falling at
distances from Paris ranging up to
200 miles, the balloons have nearly
all been returned to their finders,
as requested on o card attached to
each, and one has brought down
records from a height Of 10000
feet. The instruments are very
light and simple. With larger bal
looms and systematic exploration
it is hoped that the secrets Of the all
up to at least 10000 feet may b
made as familiar to US as those o
the deepest and darkest depths o
the sea are gradually becoming.

GONE WRONG.
A Prominent Politician Eleven Thou.
sand Short.

John L. Aver is we'll known
throughout Oregon and Washing
ton as o clever lawyer, politician,
"capitalist' and genial companion;
but it is hard to tell where he is
now. Warrants for his arrest are
issued both in Oregon and Idaho,
and the authorities are in constant
telegraphic communication with
those in Eastern cities, especially
in Boston, in an endeavor to APP
prehend him and take him back to
Portland.
The New England National
Building, Loan & Investment AS
sociation, of which he had been
manager and its attorney, has been
left in the lurch by Mr.. Aver.
Over $4,000 worth Of stock has
been hypothecated, for which they
hold him responsible, and which
they claim was not legitimately is
sued. This company, which has its
headquarters here, and does bust
ness in Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, seems to have been made
the instrument Of his shrewdness
beyond oil expectations.
Two weeks ago last Thursday
John L. Aver, with his wife and
child, quietly took his departure
from Portland for the East via the
Northern Pacific. Some days pass
ed before the officers of the associa-
tion or his friends realized that he
had gone. Immediately efforts
were made TO trace him. The po
lice of Chicago, New York and Bos
ton and many smaller cities wer,
informed. It is thought that hi
whereabouts are now ascertainet
by the Boston chief of police, bu
no positive word has come. Th'
facts have been known for severa

The Tramp Problem.

The unique spectacle is afforded
in the United States of men who
in a lifetime have accumulated
many millions and of other
men who have been industrious
and thrifty and have reached the
decline of activity without dollar
to their names. There are Others
who have gathered a little of this
worlds goods, but not to carry
them over a season of enforce L
idleness. When the willing work
er cannot find work he goes in
search is not successful and he be-
comes tramp. In the August
Forum there is paper by Prof j..
J. McCook which shows where
tramps come from and what kind
of men they are. Out Of 184S
American tramps he interviewed
more than half have trades, ems
ployments or professionals which
require more or less skill, while Al
per cent were unskilled laborers
Nine out of ten could read and
write. Much the greater part
were Of middle age or under. Only
about third admitted that they
had been convicted of drunken
ness. 1t is estimated that in the
whole country there was $4,000
tramps not essentially different
from those interviewed.
The time will probably come
when work will be provided for
tramps who will work, and tramps
who will not work will be punish
ed. The accumulation of wealth
will be held responsible for the
provision Of work for all who are
able and willing to work. We now
tax property to support paupers,
and it may be held that society in
its collective capacity is under az
much obligation to the willing
worker as to the idler or the paup.
| er. There is a growing idler also
that the means to provide work
!. shall come from new sources. Un
der our present law the very ricf
are supposed to pay the same ratit
Of taxation as citizens of maderatt
means. AS a fact, however, tht
very rich do not probably pay
taxes on one-half of their poses
sions. A way may be found ir
| the form of a tax on inheritance
and on transfer of large properties
to make large accumulations pay
for the maintenance of public
works, at which work shall be
provided for all.-Albany Herald.

pard Times in PaIouse.

A correspondent writing from
the Palouse country states that the
questions which are nov agitating
every one, are bags and prices.
How to secure sacks is causing
great anxiety. There is no money
with which to buy them, and deal
ers will not sell on time as has
been the custom. The banks can
not loan for fear of a run, Money
cannot be had; and SO far the same
can be said Of sacks. The crops
cannot be handled in bulk, and
for the present the whole matter Is
in state Of uncertainty, and
everything is stagnated, The Pa
louise has never been confronted
with such condition.

stated that there will be no extra
session." responded the governor.
aThe members don't seem to want
it. | have received replies from
most of them, and the great major
ity are opposed to an extra session
to enact special stay law. So the
matter may be considered off for
the present"
The governor intimated that it
was just as well to drop the pro-
position for an extra session Of the
legislature, until congress shall
take some action on the money
question. Without free silver Of
full legal tender he thinks a stay
law woald be means of torture
rather a means of relief to the
debtor who is weary and heavy
laden.
eff congress does not act" said
the governor, ''it may be necessary
to call the legislature to take some
steps to provide, work for honest
and willing laborers. 1t would be
poetic justice if we were to send all
our unemployed poor people back
east and compel those fellows who
have fastened upon the country the
policy that is causing so much dis
tress-compel them to relieve that
distress" And the old nusery
rhyme about the "beggars coming
from town, some in rags, some in
bags and some in velvet gowns
came to the mind of the governor
and he paraphrased-'T would send
some to New York, some to Bos-
ton and some to Buzzard's Bay"
While the idea of an extra ses-
sion Of the legislature is abandon
ed for the present, it is thought not
to be beyond the range of possibili-
ties before next spring. 1t is not
expected to be necessary, however

SALE OF GRAIN SACKS.
Farmers Without Cash Not Benefited
bv the Law.

The wisdom of state legislature
is sometimes past finding out. The
legislature Of this state some time
ago, set the penitentiary at Walla
Walla up in the business Of max
ing lute grain sacks in order to re-
lieve our wheat growers from the
grip Of California monopoly. But
they gravely required that sacks
should be sold only for cash on the
nail, so that farmers having no casl
and no means Of getting any until
they could sell their wheat, were
not benefited at all. This year wheis
wheat is unusually plenty, and 0
greater number of sacks than insult
are needed, money is unusuall
scarce. In fact, none Of the farm
ers, not even those whose credit il
the highest, can get money on an
terms. So the penitentiary, whic.
has o large number Of sacks on
hand to be sold at 6 cents each for
cash, is unable to sell them an
the farmers are compelled to resoss
to their old California monopoly
where they can get sacks on tim
but at q price about 30 per cens
higher than the state could sell
them for. So are our farmers benz :
fited by our law-makers,
Possibly this law was made wit
a view to tit the case Of the presenl
penitentiary commissioners rathe;
/, than that Of the farmers. It woul
be a tremendous benefit to the GOV,
erned if governments could ven
ture to have their institutions maj
aged as private concerns should l,
managed, and then find person
both competent and trustworthy I
manage them. As it is now, ther
has been so great need apparent
to restrict the authority ofstate al
pointees, especially those Of th
penitentiary, that they can do bu
little for the benefit Of anybody

SEEN The DEVIL
A New York Village Visited
by Satan.
OF Interest to Farmers -Gone
Wrong---Money Tied Up
Sale Of Sacks.

Residents of Canarise, village
town of fiat land on Long Island,
are greatly excited over a report
that Satan is in town. Many are
afraid to venture out after dark,
and today there were special
services of prayer for the expul-
sion of fthe devil from the town. A
few days ago a young woman named
Monohan had visited the shore and
started for her home on Rockway
avenue. When just opposite
Canarsie woods, Miss Monohan
claims that she saw the bushes
part and then came face to face
with a man of fire who had horns.
He Kissed at her then set off some
blue lights. When the young
lady reached home she became
very i'll, and has been confined TO
her bed ever since. Mrs. Mary
Kohl has aslo been his satanic
majesty. She says that during the
great storm Wednesday night she
saw the man of fire hurrying along
past her door with the rain pelting
down at a rate that made the fiery
man hiss. Mr.. Kohl says he did
not have horns, nor did he have
four legs, but she thinks he had 8
tail.
~ wouldn't be positive about the
tall" said Mrs. Kohl to reporter,
for the night was very black and
I couldn't see very we'll, and had
only one of my window shutters
open. When / see . thing with
my own eyes, Ican't help but be-
heve it is there, can /? Why, of
course ] can't, and / saw that devil
just as plainly as / see you."
''Do you know Of any other
ladies in the neighborhood who
have seen his najesty?" inquired
the reporter.
aWeI,p said Mrs. Kohl, II know
Of dozen Of them, and you can
say that at least q dozen ladies here
at Canarsie have met the devil
since last Sunday evening. Every
Sunday we are going to have SER
vice of prayer to have the Lord ex.
pei him from Canarsie.

Ground is Broken.

At 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon
the first spadeful of earth was turn
ed for the midwinter fair in Golden
Gate Park. It was an occasion of
great ceremony. Thousands Of peo-
pie were present, business was sus-
pended in town, the schools closed,
and the National Guard paraded.
A salute was fred by the United
States artillery, and speeches were
made by prominent citizens. Ship
ping in the harbor was Drofusely
decorated with bunting, and the
afternoon was a general holiday.
The $500.000 guarantee fund has
been nearly all subscribed by citi-
zens. and the work of constructing
the buildings and preparing the
grounds will proceed without in
Permission until the fair opens. The
fair will be opened January !, 1894
and will continue six months to
June 80.

Money Tied Up.

The tax money of Multnomah
county is tied up in banks and cam
not be got at. Sheriff Kelly has
over 100000 in the Oregon Ma
tional bank, which was the first
banking institution in Portland to
fail. There are some doubts as to
its opening, and things look gloomy
for the sheriff. His bondsmen are
George w. Markle and w. F. Nc
Farland, two officers of the bank,
and this fact accounts for the
money being placed there. Treas
urer Malarkey is a little better off.
He has about 100000 Of the
county's funds in the Merchants
National bank which he cannot
draw out, for to make a demand for
the amount on the institution would
close it up. Multnomah county
owes the state about 100000 for
taxes for 1892, which it cannot pay
owing to its being tied up in the
banks. -.

The Cruiser Olympia.

The cruiser Olympia is being
rapidly made ready at the Union
iron works shipyard for her pre-
liminary speed trials, which will
take place shortly. All day yes
terday coalheavers were busy load
ing the vessels bunkers, and the
same will continue until Wednes-
day, when it is expected she will
take short trial trip around the
upper part Of the bay at low speed,
and from then on the cruiser will
be kept going from time to time
until she is ready for the official
trial. Captain Henry Glass, now
captain of the navy-yard of Mare
Island, will in all probability take
command of the Olympia when she
is turned over to the government,
and it is understood that the yes
sci, when commissioned, will be
the flagship ofthe Pacific squadron.

OF Interest to Farmers.

1t is reported that II. b. Inger-
sol is in possession Of stool wheat
grown on the Widow Mccoy
place, between Milton and Walla
Walla, which contains 102 heads
raised from q single grain OF seed,
an average head Of which yielded
SO large, plump grains. This is an
unknown variety and was first
noticed by Mr.. Ingersol growing
among other wheat on the place
three years ago. His attention
was called to it by its heavy growth
and prolific yield, and he carefully
separated it from the other grain
and planted the seed obtained the
following season. This year he
had enough Of the seed to plant
thirty acres. 1t is very heavy grain,
withstanding the severest weather,
and will undoubtedly provea favor
ite with our grair-growers. Yves
