Ea Modern Baseball.
Monmouth Record.

The match game of base ball
participated in last Saturday by
the girls against the boys of the
public school, was an exceedingly
interesting one. The game was
played scientifically and accord
ing to the latest rules throughout.
Both sides were neatly uniformed,
the girls in white waists and black
skirts to their knees, the boys in
white and blue. More than two
hundred from the town and
Normal witnessed the game. The
way in which the battery on the
girls side handled the ball was un-
usual, hardly ball passing the
catcher, Maud Hargrove, and the
curved pitcher Miss McGrew,
caught several liners hot from the
bat and made double plays with
them. The boys worked hard
and did all in their power to beat
the game but all in vain. The
cheers from the crowd in behalf
of the feminine team, ratified"
the boys who were ahead until
the last two innings, and the
girls succeeded in scoring one
more run than the boys. The
score stood 35 to 36 in favor of the
fair sex. The boys were beaten
at their own game.

Two Important Elections.

The only two elections Of general

Ohio and Iowa. Ohio elects
Governor, important state officers
and legislature. Iowa the same,
but inthat state the matter Of send

Gov. Boies is candidate. He
proposes to have himself indicted"
for the office by the state democratic
convention. and to make a thorough
canvass Of the state to secure d leg
islature favorable to his aspiration.
The fight will be highly interesting

popular with the republicans, apt

BRIGGS SUSPENDED.
General Assembly Adopts the
Committee Report.
HE is DECLARED A HERETO.
A Stabbirg ARRAY on Butter Creek
Expectation Of Gold, Etc,

At the Thursday afternoon ses-
sion, DR.. Craig convened the as
sembly rs court to hear the re
port of the COMMITTEES appointed to
prepare an explanatory minute of
the Briggs case. The Rev. Mr..
Hoyt, chairman, called upon DR..
Baker, of the subcommittee sent
to interview Professor Briggs to re-
port the result of the interview.
DR.. Baker. said Professor Briggs
had stated it was his irrevocable
deternaination to abide by the de-
clarations made in his address be-
fore the assembly in his defense,
and to continue to teach the doc
trines there ayowed. AT the re-
quest .of DR.. Baker, Professor
Briggs gave him an autograph
letter making such statement,
whereupon DIR. Baker said the
committee took the action which
Mr.. Hoyt would now report to the
assembly. The report, after re.
citing the proceedings in the case,
proceeds:
"This judicatory Gnds that said
final judgment of the presbytery of
New York is erroneous, and is here
by reversed. And this general as !.
sembly finds that the appellee.
Charles A. Briggs, uttered, taught
and propagated views, doctrines
and teachings contrary to the es-
sential doctrines of the Holy Scrip
lures and standards of the Preshy-
terian church, and in violationlo of
the ordination vows ofsaid appellee,
which said erroneous views and
doctrines strike at the yitals of 10
ligion and have been industri-
ously spread. The committee does
hereby recommend the suspension
of Charles A. Briggs, said appellee,
from the Office Of minister in. the
Presbyterian church in the United
States Of America until such time
as he shall give satisfactory evi.
dence of repentance, to the general
assembly, Of the violation BY hin
of said ordination VOWS as herein
and heretofore found
The report Of. the committee was
| adopted and vote Of thanks
given the members ofthe committee
for their services. The motion
evoked d few Kisses.
In New York DIR. Briggs said the
decision of the general assembly
| would make no change in his re-
lations with Union Seminary. The
professor and some of his friends
intimated further that the action
in Washington did not end the
matter.

When They Vote.

Ithas been the ruling on every
reservation. and thu same applies
to the Umatilla, that the right of
suffrage is granted the Indians so
soon as their allotments have
heen approved and certificates
issued to those entitled to hold
land.
The report of the allotment
commissioners for this reservation
has been approved, but the certifi-
Gates have not been issued, the
wait being due to the fact that
certain evidence is desired by the
department. The Indians will
undoubtedly become citizens and
voters in time to cast their bal
lots at the June election next
year.
The East Oregonian ia informed
that politicians May be fooled in
poor Lo--that he will not be so
easily worked as might be ina
agined. Many of the Indians are
said to have as pronounced ideas
concerning politics as a most
dyed in the wool white partizan.
Republicans and democrats are
about equally divided.
The Puyallup Indians cheer
fully took Doodle offered them
and voted as they pleased; our
brown -skined fellow-citizens here
are very apt to do the same.

Remarkable Child.

One ofthe most remarble child
rem ever born in the United States,
died at the residence of its parents
in Portland Monday morning. The
child was little Jake Kafka, born
8 years ago on the 9th Of last
December. The deceased boy
never stood higher than 28 inches
and his maximum weight was IA
pounds. Little JAKE was gifted
with wonderful mental facilities,
which surprised all who conversed
with him. It was beyond the
understanding Of the best medical
men Of the city, how such a frail,
diminutiye body could develop so
much brain power. He was very
apt at humorous and witty repartee,
and his nature also had a serious
side to it.

The Animal Identified.
Pendleton Tribune.

The animal which was killed
near Weston and which was Sc
cured and taxidermized by Joe
v. Tallman, after having under
gone rigid examination by our
citizens in their endeayors to
specify its species, has, without
doubt, been proven to be glutton,
or wolverine.
The glutton is carnivorous
animal, belonging to the weasel
family, but presenting a striking
resemblance to the bear. In form
it is not unlike the European
badger. It's head is broad, eyes
small, and it is said it's vision is
defective. It's fur consists of an
underground Of short woody hair,
mixed with long straight hairs, to
the abundance Of which it owes
its shaggy appearance. The color
Of its fur is dark brown with .
broad band of light color
stretching from the shoulders
along each side Of the body, the
twcmeeting At the tail. II is sail
thatsthis animal is not more glut-
tonous than are Che majority d
carnivorous animals, and why it
should bear the name is moi
known. One of its great propen-
stiles is to steal and hide things
not merely for food, but articles
which cannot possibly have any
interest for it except that of curl
ositY.

NUMBER 20

$4,000, while he may yet conclude
to favor all above 5000 and make
the rate much less. All its pos
,sibilities and different conceptions
are being carefully considesed by
by him and other prominentstates-
men. 1t is now expected that a
measure of this kind will pass the
next congress because the majority
in both houses are known TO favor
the principle. It's chief tendency
is to make those who are best able
to pay their proportion for the sup
port of the government, and to
provide for a reduction of taxation
which comes heavily on the wage
Garner and day laborer.

Air For Fuel.

a seyival of the interest in the practi-
cal use of air az fuel is remarked upon,
and the process which is now claimed to
he the most successful in accomplishing
this end is described as neither complex
nor costly. Starting with the well-known
understanding that air is mixed with coal
gas and with hydrocari,on vapors, and the
compound, when burned gcncratesa much
greater heat than If the air were absent
powerful air blast being Il great econo-
mizer in smelling and reducing ores-the

method il that the fuel is the air itself,

materials that can lie made II glow. Coal,
hydrocarbons, etc. may he employed to
give the initinI incandcscence, but once

may he maintained for an indefinite. period
by merely pressing the incandcsccncc Of

A New sseariug Metal.

Our exchanges make record OF II new
metal, presumably al alloy, which is said
to have some remarkable properties among
which are its affinity for most metals, its
low fusing temperature, hardness When
set and its wearing qualities. 1t is called
"CauriceIale Metal" and mclts at 500 de-
grees Fab, low enough, for case of work
ing in lining up. boxes and vet high
enough to prevent melting from heating
bearing un,!or ordinary circumstances.
Its chiefusc is in lining up worn boxes to
TO their original state, the affinity for the
metals making this particularly easy as
no timing is re CURED. The metal is
simply run ON the bearing and it adlicres
with no further precantiOm than having
the natal fee from any grease. 1t is melt
ed in lalle or otherwise and poured into
the bearing around the shaft or some
maudrel, when il sets and hardens and
forms an excellent bearing metal. Use
on propeller blades as Il coating it is said
to prevent ptting as it resi>ts the action
OF salt waier(nnd nm"nia) and it can also
i've applied to old and pittcu blades to fill
out the cavities also prevent further ac-
tiOn. IT is said to stand the action OF
very heavy bearing, such as sugar rolling,
feed crushing or saw milling machinery
which, if true, makes it Il very valuable
addition to the repair shop ofany mill or
factory.
