Death of William j. supinger.

Death of William j. SupinRer.
Death has again stricken eur Oommuni-
ty and removed from am opg the people
who have so long known and respected
him, Mr.. William ]. Supinger, one Of our
old and very popular citizens. Although he
had been q sick man for lsng time, and
but few anticipated ought but fatal
termination, still his death was somewhat
sudden and shock to many persons.
Few men have ever lived in this COM
munity who were more popular or had
more or warmer friends. Noted for his
genial disposition and quaint and strong
sense of humor, as well as the sterling
traits of character that mark the upright
man, he leaves behind him a life record
that will be cherished by the people Of
this community.
Born in Woodstock in 1923, Mr.. Supin-
ger spent his long life OF nearly seventy
years IN this place, and his loss will be
long and sadly felt.
To his family, where his death will be
most keenly felt, the sympathles of our
people 60 out in no measured degree for
they all sorrow with them. Mr. Supinger
leaves a widow, three sons and four daugh-
tiers to mourn the loss of one who has
ever been an affectionate and devoted
husband and father.
Funeral services were conducted By
Rev. MIR. Styles assisted by Rev. Stump
and Rinker, in the Reformed church, On

hydrophobia is that the animal has slight
and temporary attacks of hallucnation
He thinks be hears sound or sees an
object which does not exist. This condi-
tion IS fully recognized by veterinary
experts. although its signs are often over
looked by others. The dog Suddenly
prcks up his eais and runs to particular
spot, as If be had heard a noise on the
other side OF door or partition. Some
times he will slap at the empty air, as if
be were catching a fly. Sometimes be
will stand immovable and attentive for
few moments, as If be were listening
or watching for something which is only
an illusion. These signs are exceedingly
important, and shoull redouble the
vigilance of those having charge of the
animal, who should from this moment lie
kept in a position to prevent his doing an
injury All this time the animal may
show no disposition to bite. A rabid dog
often varies in this tendency according
to his individual character. The evidence
of all the best observers show that dog,
naturally good-tempered and mild in
disposition, will sometimes refrain from
biting until very late IN the disease.
Furthermore, the same dog will often show
no tendency to bite his master, for whom
he still retains bis natural affection, but
may at the same time be easily provoked
by a stranger. This circumstance forms
one of the most Insidious sources Of
danger IN the case Of a rabid dog not yet
knewn to be such. Even the master may
be misled by finding the animal submissive
as usual to bis word, and even to a slight
correction, while q second blow or a
threatening gesture may be followed by
sudden and upgovernable attack on the

Something Big In Sausages.

Ir former times it was the custom in
many German towns to manufacture
sausages of enormous length, and carry
them on festive occasions in solemn pro-
cession through the streets. On New
Years Day in 1858 a giant sausage 1893
ellis in length was carried in triumph by
forty eight persons. But in the year
1888 it took ninety-one persons to carry
a sausage 500 ellis long and weighing 434
pounds The chronicles of the period
says: "The butchers men were all neatly
attired in white blouses. The first man
wound one end of the sausage several
times round his neck with portion of it
hanging down in front, the rest followed
at equal distances carrying the trophy
on their shoulders, and the last one had
the other end wound round his neck like
the man at the head CT the procession"
In the year 1901 we are told that the
sausage attained length of 1905 ellis,
1870 of which were presented to their
Serene Highnesses at the castle. All
this happened in Konigsberg. In 1918
the Emperor Matthias RECALLED the Princes
of the House of Austria with tourna-
ment, at which the butchers of Vienna
gave representation of a peasants we'd
ding, and paraded the streets with a
sausage measuring 999 ellis. - [Duisburger

Sentenced to Matrimony.

A young man and a young woman were
contesting possession of piece of prop
erty, the one claiming under an old lease,
the other under an old will.
ut strikes me-" said the Justice, "that
there is pleasant and easy way to term
mate this law suit. The plaintiff seems
to be respectable young nan, and this
is very nice young woman. They can
both get married and live upon the farm.

the property will all be frittered away

ginning with Grants second Inaugural

during which six Presidents have been
inaugurated, the 4th of March fell on
pleasant days only twice. The 4th of
1873, was bitter cold and clustering

but the temperature was so low that
death reaped large harvest among
those who participated in the parade.
The 4th of March, 1877, when Hayes
was inaugurated, was miserably damp,
pneumonia breeding day. The 4th of
March, 1881, when Garfield was in
augurated, and the 4th of March, 1885,
when Cleveland was first inaugurared,
were both pleasant days. Mr.. Harri.
sons inaugural address was delivered
in the midst of a pouring rain, and Mr..
Cleveland's second oath of Office was
taken while the snow beat upon his
barred head. There is no sort of justifi.
cation for the retention of this date for
this important ceremony. It will always
be made spectacle. Surely it is not

the change in the administration of a

The Banana Boom.

New Orleans leads the country in tn.
importation of bananas, and the trade
has certainly helped New Orleans in
many ways. The business has been for.
tunate from the start in enl1sting enter.
prise on the part of ships, railroads and
merchants, and the combination has
been strong enough to bring success. A
good deal of the enterprise has been
shown in finding places in which to dis
pose of the fruit, and the quest has tried
the quality of the importers. Bananas
can now be regularly bought all o,s,
the country, and most of the fruit is dis
tributed from this port. Special trains
are run in every direction, fast time is
imperative, and hustling agents place the
orders ahead, 80 that there is no delay.
A little delay often means total loss.
The Pacific coast is one of the latest ter
ritories invaded. Mistakes have been
made, and bananas have been sent to
some places where Car load of bananas
could not be sold in month. 1t has
taken time and money to find this out,
and the enterprising spectators have
often lost as hi Oh as 81, 900 on consign-
ment. The weak spots have been pretty
we'll sifted out, however, and the far
west promises to be one Of the bananas
strongholds. All this serves to intro
duce the fact that one firm has shipped
ten car loads of bananas to the Pacific in
the last two days. The Southern Pacific
has several times carried as large cargo
of the fruit within the same space OF
time, but it is the largest quantity for
warded by one firm in forty-eight hours.
The fruit will be distributed along the
coast. Some of it will 60 as far north as

The Red Apples of Oregon.

The romance of the red apples of Ore,
gon in the gold decade is one of the
idylls of our past; one that we never ex-
pect to see revived, dearly as we cherish
it. 1t was part and parcel of the extrav-
agance of that period, and as graphic in
its way as tales of Ormuz and of Ind
fitting accompaniment to CALIFORNIA;
dream of gold. The Oregonian of the
forties is becoming scarce; only enough
are left for object lessons. There is come
to the Pacific generation that knew
little or nothing of the rhapsody of the
golden age. These men are practical;
81 bushel seems price enough for them.
Years ago few men, not farmers, at
tempted to make pleasure Of horticul-
ture and planted trees to vary the mo-
notony of sedentary life. They were

The ROustabout's Cues.

A pleasant feature of the sugar business
of the boats in the South is the songs of
the men as they work. A long skidway
or slide is arranged from the top of the
bank to the boat, and the barrels or
hogsheads are thus slid on board. The
man at the top will sing, as each barrel
is started on its way, sort of notifica-
ton to "look out below" and the man
on the boat will answer in way that
means "let her come" The most strik-
ing words caught were; Bari barl,
here goes bar'l," Here goes bar'l, all full
sugar. "Tcll de troof, black man, tell
de truth down dar," "Ill ak my wife if
she'll go to town Sunday" "Sugar,
sugar, dey amt muffin like sugar"
"When mule xix yer, hit i'm in de

When some of the plantation hands
can be spared they will ship for trip of
three or four days. If the man be married
the leave-taking is some times pathetic,
yet ludicrous, and if he returns all right
he is as much an oracle to some of the
plantation hands as is a man who has
been around the world. On recent trip
the boat was ready to back out from 8
plantation landing and seven colored
girls and women stood in row waving
their adieus to those on board. One Of
the roustabouts started at the end OF
that row and kissed every one of those
women. The mate called out to him to
hurry up. When he got aboard the mate
said, why didn't you hurry?' He re-
piled: Il did hurry up as fas' as l could.

A Missing Island.

Expedition Island is no more. Your
map shows it lying on the northwest
coast of Australia, about twenty-five
miles from the mainland. When it
fourished in all its glory, as it has since
time of memory, it was beautiful tract
of land, thirteen miles long and one ana
a half or two miles broad
A vessel was sailing in those parts
quite recently when the officers remarked
the absence of the island. The captain
ordered that soundings be made. All
around thousands of feet Of water was
found.
Finally, upon observing that there were
no signs of breakers on the former site
Of the island, he ordered that they sail
directly across where the island had
formerly been. Scundings were again
taken, which resulted in finding that Inc
island had only sunk to depth OF forty
eight feet below the surface 1t was one

coast and its sudden subsistence IS

The doom of another educational fad
is sealed. The French association of
Volapukists has dissolved. The most
energetic apostle of the language which
was expected to set right the confusion
caused by the affair at Babel has recent
ly taken the post of Professor of German
in provincial college. There have
been other setbacks and the great object
of reforming the linguistic evils of the
world has been abandoned as far as
Paris is concerned.
