share Of amusing incidents. The other

negro man waddled into the apartment
for taxpayers. 1t was early in hemoru-

just peep through the window between
the apartments; but no one in the tax
Office seemed to see him. At last Mr

various and sundry noises.

In spite Of all the old tax collector
could say the old fellow handed him

old man dollar ana gave him re-

"Thankee, boss. thankee." said the old
negro when he saw the dollar returned.
He pocket the dollar and departed with
the receipt.

Owing to heavy shipments from
this place aud Walla Wella Poiuts,
coupled with the advent oC homc-
grown berries, the Denver market took
a tumble Saturday last that left the
shippers only one cent per pound for
their berries. This produced tenn.
porary panic among berry growers
that was not justihahlc. Returns
from Omaha show the market there TO

prices quoted there would net the pro

Some of the Oregon papers have seen
fit to taunt Harvey Scott with the fact
that, he did not enter the union army
during the civil war. While we do
not agree with the editor of the Orcgo-
nion on a great many questions, we do
heartily endorse his stand ON the pen
sion question. The fact that Mr..
Scott did not enlist is nObody's busi-
lless bht his own, and we wish to re-
mark with all due Difference to the
men who fought, that there were just
As brave men stayed at home, as any Of
them. We will add further that many
of the men who remained at home,
raised the hog and wheat that sup
ported the army, and took care of the
women and children, did as good and
patriotic service at least, as many who
are drawing a pension today. Indeed,
an examination Of the pension list
forces the belief that it costs not as
much to he conquered by an enemy,
as to be saved by friend.

The British sense Of humor frequently
finds its expression in practical jokes,
and the young SCION of the aristocracy"
enjoys with artless glee species Of fun
that an American would feel was adapt
ed only for schoolboys. The following
playful manifestation is reported from
over the water as having recently oc-
Cured in a we'll known country house.
A pompous and very dignitied member
of the government arrived at "a friends
house where he was due for weeks
visit. and was met at the door by Il tall
footman whose familiar and impudcnt
greeting Immediately aroused the ire Of
the old gentleman. He mentally re-
solved to report the fellows insolence to
his master.
What was his surprise and horror,
however, when the servant. assuming
the attitude Of prize fighter about to
begin operations, danced around him,
intercepting his movements at every
turn. "Is the man mad:" thought the
startled statesman: surely he has taken
leave of his senses" In vain he spoke
soothingly to the supposed maniac; the
creature, who was of huge proportions,
circled threateningly around him, and
it was only after few minutes Of really
uncomfortable anxiety that the indig-
nant guest found himself the victim Of
little practical joke on the part Of the
eldest son of his host.-New York Trib-

about twO-thirds Of the lumber in the
yard were burned Thursday morning.
The fire is supposed to have started
from burning slab pile, starting about
3 3o'clock in the morning and not being
discovered until it was beyond control.
BY hard work portion of the lumber
was saved. The loss will run up into
the thousands, which will fall OH the
company, there being no insurance.
About twenty men are thrown out Of
employment, but it is probable the

DaileS Iity Election.

The democratic ticket was cnowed
under in The Dalles city election Mon.
day 10y majorities ranging from 40 to
80. The republicans did not nominate
a ticket, mass meeting of the citizens
putting up the opposition. One pecu-
liarity Of The election was that the prln-
cipal offices on the citizens ticket were
filled by democrats. DIR. Rinehart, who
is el, cted mayor; Douglas Dufur, re-
corder; Maloney, marshal; Ward and
Chrisman, water commissioners, are,
we believe, all democrats. The total
vote was 655.

BANKING METHODS.

An examination Of the assets of the
broken hanks, discloses state Of af
fairs contrary to that generally imagin-
ed by the public. 1t Was no doubt the
general opinion that the bankers had
money of their own which they loaned
out in the ordinary course of business.
1t seems now that this is not the case.
The custom, as evidenced by the state
ments of the burst banks, has been to
put in only money enough to secure
the circulation, and then u 90 into
business on the money Of depositors.
The Withdrawing Of limited amount
of the deposits, they being loaned out
by the bank, necessarily resulted in
inability to pay, and consequent clos
ing of the bank doors, with the state
nent that depositors would be paid in
full as soon as the bank could realize
on its assets. An exchange recently
asked, in answering a statement con-
cefnlng the national banking system.
''If the purchase Of government bonds
to secure the circulation Of bank notes
is profitable, why do not the bankers
invest all their capital that way" We
suggest in the light of the statements
made by the closed banks, that this is
exactly what they do.
