Old Times.

Some men are talking of the present
hard times, says the Walla Walla
Union, and asking if anyone ever knew
anything ike it ins this county before.
One old timer said:

times were so dull in Walla Walla that
old A. Kyger, who kept store on the
corner where the Farmers Savings bank
now is, with I. T. Reese, proposed that
the storekeeperes on the four corners,
Kyger & Reese, Baker & Boyer, Paine

one clerk, who should stand in the street
and when anyone wanted anything in
either store he should sell it and the
proprietors and the rest should go fish

a Relic of old

One of the most interesting relics of
old London is ST. Johns gate, Clerken-
well, which, because it does not hap
pen to lie in one of the main arteries
of the big city, is not so we'll known,
even to Lqndoners, as it should be. 1t
is the only remaining portion of the
important Priory of st. John, which
dates from the fourteenth century. The
old gateway has a literary interest at
tached to it, for in the room above the
archway DIR. Johnson worked for Cave,
the printer, for a small weekly stipend
and the Gentleman's Magazine, which
to this day bears picture of the arch
way on its cover, was first printed
here. The archway had latterly be-
come much defaced and weather-worn,
but it has recently been restored as a
memorial to the duke of Clarence, who
was first sub-prior of the Order of st.
John. The order as now revived Nem-
braces the ST. John Ambulance associ-
alton and is busy IN other good works.

A Salem dispatch says:

A Salem dispatch says:
For the purpose of testing the legality
of the legislative act of 1898, as to
whether it is constitutional, an injunc-
ton is to be brought against the loca-
ton and erection of the branch insane
asylum in Eastern Oregon. This time
the injunction is coming from Polk
county, the complainant being A. c..
Taylor, prominent and influential
farmer of Perrydale. The papers in the
case have already been prepared, and
service will be had and suit will be COM
menced before Judge Burnett this week
in Salem. W. II. Holmes and H. J..
Bigger of this city have been retained
as attorneys for Mr.. Taylor and those
who are associated with him in the case.
The action is to be commenced at once,
the object being to stop all proceedings
before any further expense has been
created-before the governor, secretary
of state and state treasurer shall have
purchased the site selected and taken
active steps looking to the erection of
the necessary buildings.

They Discuss Tariff.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The senate
finance committee devoted nearly all day
to work on the tariff bill. They held a
brief conference with Voorhees,. The
whisky tax and bonded period will be
considered tomorrow. It looks now as
if sugar will be allowed to remain on the
free list. and that the income tax will
be retained. The subcommittee has de-
fnitely decided not to change the wool
schedules in the house bill. Wool men
have not, however given up the fight,
but say they will appeal from the deci-
sion of the committee to the senate,
and are putting in a good deal
of time laying facts and arguments be-
fore individual members. Democratic
members of the committee now tell the
republican members the tariff bill will
certainly be in shape for presentation to

house. was a prisoner In Iorkville Po-
lice Court this morning as the result Of
an impromptu picnic he gave yesterday
afternoon to some youngsters from the
Bowery.
The charges entered against him by
Policeman Anderson, of the East sixty
seventh street station, were drunk and
dsorderly, violation of a corporation
ordinance and abduction.
Ducess was drunk yesterday afternoon,
and wound up about . o'clock at the
corner OF Bayard street and the Bow
cry. There lie saw some children play
ing pussy In the corner" and he sat
down to watch the game.
When the game had progressed about
half an hour Ducess suggested that a
ride to Central Park would be good
scheme. Twelve-year-old Max Epstein,
of 3 Bayard street, said ne would go. He
went to the house and got his three-year-
old sister, Mollie, Bernard Yetter, twelve
years old, and Louis Gerber. aged ten.
Ducess took the crowd on the Elevated
train, and they rode to Hifty-ninth street.
Then they started over TO the Park.
The youngsters We're delighted with
the prospect, for Ducess had promised
them soda water when they arrived
there on the way over Ducess dropped
in at several saloons, while the children
waited outside till he Joined them.
The first clearwater stand they struck
was at the Fifty-ninth street entrance
TO the Park, and there Ducess ordered
drinks for all. When the glasses were
filled he took Il bottle from his pocket
and poured little of the liquor it
contained into each glass. Young Ep-
stein smelled 1t, and being Bowery
hoy, knew it was whiskey. lie refused
to drink and told the others to forego
their soda.
Then. according to young Epstein,
Ducess whispered in his ear:
''If you don't drink, ] will shoot you
AS he said that, he showed his pistol
pocket to the lad, and there Epstein
saw the handle of Il big revolver.
One glance at 1t was sufficient, and
the youngster ran The others followed
him.
Ducess chased the crowd through Six
tieth street towards Park avenue, and
there Policeman Anderson stopped him
After hearing the story told by young
Epstein. he arrested Duccss.
In the Yorkvillc Police Court this
morning Ducess wore a very detected
air. Justice Meade thought that he
meant no har'n to the children, and
therefore paid no attention to the
charge OF abduction. He fined him 5;
for being drunk, and held him in Sl0t
