The Rivers of Queensland are Rapidly
RisiDg-12 Lives Lost.
MELBOURNE, Feb. 20.--Steady rain for
several days has caused the rivers OF
Queensland to rise rapidly and to threat
en- repetition OF the recent floods. Gales
have accompanied the rainfall, so that be-
tween wind and water most OF the rail
ways and telegraph lines have been rem
dered temporarily useless.
Ipswich, Brisbane and several smaller
towns are partly under water. In Bris-
bane the water is but ten inches below
she highest mark during the last food
and 10 or IL lives have been lost.
The three vessels left stranded in the
botanical garden of this city during the
last flood, have been got back to the river.
In northern New South Wales the flood
have done enormous damage to crops.

The Normal Literary

Society met Friday, June 2, and
was called to order by the president.
The entire program was disposed of
to the delight and edifcation of a
packed house. The evening was
warm and the house crowded but
most excellent order prevailed dur
ing the entire evening. The music
was entirely under the control and
directions of Miss Weber, whose
proficiency and exquisit taste is
sufficient to guarantee its perfec-
ton. Some beautiful pieces were
sung by the school choir.
A quartet entitled, moonlight
on the Lake." was rendered by
Miss Bessie Nelson, Miss Grace
Loar, A. d. Naylor and D. G.
Smith. The house was carried
away with its perfect rendition. A
solo was sung by Mr.. Smith which
was well rendered.

quite a high compliment,
saying they neglected nothing that
would further the interest of the

ton of all Its inside working, fully
explaining the different kinds of
notes and drafts and the indorse-
ments of each. The way to detect
counterfeit was fully explained; all
about foreign and domestic ex-
change and the clearing house was
made plain. In short, Mr.. Jones,
not only proved himself thoroughly
acquainted with banking in all its
phases, but taught lesson to the
normal students and to the large
audience that listened to him.

Street Improvement.

Since the new Town Council took
charge of the municipal affairs of
Oakland the agitation of street i'm
provement has been the uppermost
topic of discussion at its several
meetings, which discussion is about
to bear good fruit.
At the meeting of the Council
Monday night street paving con-
tractor was present and presented
the matter, explaining the mode of
doing the work, the approximate
cost and the good accrulng to the
citizens of the town therefrom,
which was taken under advisement
until the meeting Saturday night,
when the question will be disposed
of, and we, expressing the wish of
the majority of our citizens, hope
that that decision may be favorable
to the proposed improvement.
The improvement will not only
be of much benefit to the business
people of the town. but also to every
taxpayer and property owner with

crease the value of real estate and
make our little mountain city city

Nor is the increase in real estate
values the only thing to take into
consideration. Improve the condi-
ton of our streets and other i'm
provements will surely follw, as has
always been the case in towns not
as large as Oakland. 1t would
bring people to the town who will
be a help and would likely be the
means of making Oakland an indus

WHILE the north was preparing
once more to make green and fra
grant the graves of those who
fought to preserve the Union, the
south was clarifying the name Of
the man who did all he could to
destroy it. The removal of the
remains of Jefferson Davis from
Louisiana to Richmond is made the
occasion of grand uprising Of
southern sentiment, and in orations
and prayers the arch traitor of the
century is landed to the skies as
the model patriot. a quiet re-
moval of his remains to the capital
of the Southern Confederacy, at
this memorial season, would have
been far more becoming than this
noisy ovation.
While the eulogies still pro-
nounced upon Davis by the south

be viewed in the judgment of i'm

A Short Review.

The government of the United
States, under Republican admins
tration, suppressed a rebellion of
gigantic proportions at cost of
we'll nigh five thousand millions of
dollars, and when the war ended
was in debt to the extent of two
thousand seven hundred millions of
dollars, much of it bearing interest
at six per cent. in gold, and the re-
mainder at 7.30 per cent. in cur
rency. Under the administration
of this same party the debt has been
reduced far below a thousand mil
lion of dollars and the highest rate
of interest to 4 per cent, on bonds
which, with fourteen years to run,
command premium of II per cent.
The currency of the country, which
was immensely deprecated by the
prolonged struggle for the nations
life, under Republican administra-
ton was restored to par, and every
dollar issued by the government
made as good as every other dollar.
Under the administration of this
same party, the population and
wealth, and the material prosperity
of the country were developed be-
yond any precedent in the history
of the world.
All this was done without any ex-
tremely violent financial crisis oc-
curing, and in the face of Demo-
cratic opposition that ridiculed the
idea of resumption and declared it
impossible that the government
could redeem its pledge to pay its
gold-bearing Indebtedness in that
coin.
In the face of these historical
facts the people, by their votes in
November last, repudiated the
policy under which these wonderful
results had been achieved, and re-
solved to withdraw the power to
shape the policy of the country from
the Republicans, and delegate it to
the Democrats. The country was
then wonderfully prosperous, but a
change is already manifest. Bust
failures haye increased at an alarm
ing rate banks are closing their
doors; the volume of business Is be-
ing contracted: gold is flowing out
of the country, and financial disas-
ter threatens. Democrats may not
admit that the cause producing
these effects is Democratic supre-
macy in the government and the
threatened substitution of Demo-
cratic policy for that of the
Republican party, but there seems
to be no other explanation of the
unfortunate fact. For the sake of
the people it is to be hoped the con-
sequences yet to flow from this act
may not be fairly illustrated by the
story of the man who was we'll but
wanted to be better and took medi-
cine and died.

Representative McKaig was at the
post-office department Monday and
had a talk with Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Maxwell about
the postoffices at Oakland and Iona
cyning. At the latter place, Mr..
Dickinson, the Republican postmas-
ter, was appointed by President
Harrison, June IL, 1889. during the
recess of Congress, and was not con-
firmed by the Senate until Jan. 9.
1890.
At Oakland the present postmas-
ter, Mr.. Thaver, was appointed
August II. 1889, also during the
recess, and he was not confirmed
until January 9, 1890. The ques-
ton at issue was whether their four
year terms were to be considered as
having ended four years from the
date of their first appointment or
four years from their confirmation
by the Senate.
Mr.. Maxwell told Mr.. McKrig
the postmaster general had made a
ruling that in all cases the terms
were to be considered as expiring
four years after the date of the con-
firmation by the Senate. Under
this ruling bv Mr. Bissell the pres
ent postmasters at both these places
will hold over until January 8 of
next wear.

The Value Of the Local Newspaper.
Two farmers were not long since
discussing their local paper. One
thought it had too many advertise
ments in it. The other replied:
In my opinion the advertisements
are far from the least valuable part
of 1t. l look them over carefully
and save at least five times the cost
of the paper each week through the
business advantages | get from
them" Said the other: 81 be-
lieve you are right know that
they pay me well and rather think
1t not good taste to find fault with
the advertisements, after all"
Those men have the right idea of
the matter. 1t paws any man with
a family to take good local paper
for the sake of the advertisements
if nothing more. And if business
men fail to give farmers chance
to read advertisements in the local
paper, they are blind to their own
interests, to say the least of it.
"You never trade with me-" said a
business man to prosperous farmer.
"You never invited me to your
place of business and I never 90
where | am not invited; | might
not be welcome" was the reply.

Mr. Turner was last seen on Satur-

and at the time complained of not
feeling well. He went home that
evening and was to 60 back but did
not. Nothing strange was thought
of this, as he had ordered some sup
plies, the fact was mentioned to
Mr.. Paugh, and he called at his
place and made the discovery above
mentioned. A jury of inquest was
summoned and they brought in a
verdict to the effect that he came tc
his death from heart disease. He
had nothing of value and his friends
buried him Saturday. lie was a
well educated man and was soldier
of the late war and was about sixty
six years of age. He was never mar
ried; had no known family connec-
tons and always lived alone.

The objection that in annexing Hawaii
we are adding class of undesirable cit
izens, is fallacious. 1t is impossible that
the Kanakas, on small islands 2,l0O
miles away from our nearest coast, can
influence us one way or the other; this
is as obvious as that we should care to
direct or influence their local interests,
of which we neither know nor care.
The feeling in some quarters seems to be
that if we annex, the whole savage horde
will flock over to our shores, insist on
the right of suffrage at once, dabble in
stocks and set up heathenish rites. No
such thing will happen. They will pre-
serve their autonomy, just as much as
formerly, and the fact that they are q
part of the American nation will have
no more effect than the inhabitants o1
India have upon the management of the
bank of England.

Keeley's chloride of gold cure for in
toxication is likely to have serious
and most agreeable rival in the use of
apples, if the alleged discovery of a
German doctor amounts to anything,
says the American Cider Maker. Ac-
cording to the latter authority, there
is no cheaper or more effective method
of curing inebriation than to eat apples
freely. The patient is to use them in
allopathic doses. That is, he is to
eat apples, and after that more apples.
The doctor claims certain success in the
worst cases of dipsomania, if the apple
cure is steadfastly pursued. The remedy
can do no harm, in any event, and is
worthy of investigation.

The Oregonian believes that electricity
is likely to solve the road problem. In
Pennsylvania, where the common high
ways are as execrable as in most other
sections of the country, electric railways
aggregating hundreds of miles in length
have recently been projected, and no
doubt many miles will be constructed
within the year. These for the most
part will follow the beds of existing
country roads. 1t is not at all unlikely
that the interests of the wagon road and
the electric railway will be found to be
Identical and inseparable. The farmer
will then have his market car or private
carriage switched off at his gate or taken
up at his pleasure, and the days Of
muddy, rough roads, jaded teams, bro
ken harness and collapsed vehicles will
belong to the past. Such is the dream
of the enthusiast in electrical science,
and it is justified to some extent, pos
sibly fully, by the promised improve
ments in the methods of applying elec-
trical energy to machinery.
