A FEARFUL SToRM.-Capt. Thomp-
son, of the schooner Mary E. Russ,
which arrived at San Diego, Sunday,
lumber laden from Port Gamble,
passed through the great gales which
had prevailed for the previous fort
night. The Russ left Port Gamble
Nov. oath, and after a weeks fair
weather encountered the first gale
and from that on there was u contin.
uance of the worst weather her cap.
tain says he has ever experienced on
the Pacific Coast. The storm was
accompanied by terrific lightning
About 10000 feet of the deck-load was
thrown overheard to tighten the
schooner, and the men were kept
continuously at the pumps, night and
day. The vessel was destined for San
Francisco, but the storm would not
admit of making her destination.

The Disappearing Well.

1t is said that we must 60 from
home to hear the news about our
selves, and this expression finds veri-
tication in q story told by the St.
Louis Republic, under the above cap
ton, of a phenomenon it affirms is To-
Gated on a farm near Olympia. 1t
says:
"The we'll was sunk in 1883, the
workmen going down to depth of %
feet. About 1890 it was noticed that
the platform was being gradually
raised off the ground by the top layer
OF bricks. The owner tore away the
boards and removed the layer OF
bricks which had protruded above the
ground and before the end of the year
had repeated the operation twelve
different times, removing not less than
two feet OF the wall. Since the spring
of 1891 the wall has been entirely
abandoned, the water having become
unfit for use on account OF some OBJ
noxious gas escaping into it, and
which can be smelled at a distance o.
100 feet from the we'll. Since it,
abandonment nothing has been done
toward removing the bricks, which
gradually, but surely, layer aftel
layer, show themselves above thu
ground. At the present time the wal
actually "sticks out" OF the ground
like huge circular chimney, it,
height above the surface being few
inches over ten feet. The bottom o
the wall is now only eleven feet from
the surface, and it has been calculates
that at the present rate Of upheava
it will actually rise to the surface leve
and entirely disappear by the end Q
1898. Scientific inquiry proves tina
tire phenomenon is OF seismic origil
and that it is really the showing of tn
lesser forces of an earthquake"

Doodle in the Air.

II is said that doodle will cut an
important figure in the approaching
Senatorial contest, and that Mrs.
Ankcny ha- SJ00,0Oo which She pro-
iu,c, II place in the pot when the
cards are dealt. Whether there are
others who can see this blind or
not, is still mathematical, or whether
the late deal to substitute Hyde for
the ring candidate, and paciiy Wilson
with the nomination for the lower
house. has any backing financially
does not appear.
The stringency OF the times seems
to have given rise to the opinion
that the purchasing power OF the
dollar will be as marked in the
halls OF legislation as in the marts OF
commerce.
Mr.. Carroll. the Republican City
! Attorney OF Port Townsend, lately
stated to Il .NcW. reporter, that the
people down our way are in favor OF
the man who has the most money, be-
cause everybody is broke" Just how
the stream from the Ankeny" bar'p' is
to relieve this prevailing local distress
does not appear, unless an active lobby
is to accompany the local representa-
tiyes and see that the cost OF their
support is directed to the proper chan
mel.
The force OF the moneyed qualitica-
ton Of Ankeny is acknowledged in the
array OF nearly all the other candidates
against him. They do not seem, how
ever, to be working in conjunction, but
independently in Il go-as-you-please
manner. Attorney-General Jones, is
reported to be making inroads upon
the bankers support, and Allen and
his friends are pulling his coat-tails in
another direction. 1t is said that the
peremptory removal of Coblentz was
in response to a demand of Allen. 1t
is humiliating to admit that the
disposition OF such an important Of
flee should be become the subject OF
open talk of barter, or that the excuse
of hard times should be suggested as
a probability that the honor of the
peoples representatives may be gagged
thereby. Bribery at first thought
is a crime of such magnitude that
the nature revolts at the bare idea Of
such betrayal of trust, but like other
hideous vices, the very fact that il
is the subjects OF discussion as a
probability weakens that aversion and
places it in the list OF ills that seen
too oft, are at last embraced AZ nat.
ural result of condition OF the times
and the temper of the people.
The Republican party will be wholly
responsible for the results whatever
they are. There will probably be nc
deadlock, from the fact that there is
q lubricant at hand, and the party
leaders know OF many more ways Of
raising the wind" for securing a cor.
ruption fund than fraudulent specula'
tons in grain-sacks. 1t matters very
little to them if life is occasionally
sacrificed while undergoing the tor
ments OF scape-goat, SO that the party
lives and affords means for retaining
fat cribs at the public stalls.

exemption for the farmer to four
horses, enough to pillow or run a
binder successfully. Exemptions
being on the grounds of humanity
and more strongly still on
the ground of public policy, that the
farmer or citizen and their families
may not become a charge on tax
payers, and realizing that by far too
many are improvident, mortgages on
exempt property, either personal or
real, should be void unless given to
secure the purchase price. He holds

necessary for the relief OF unfortunate

They are willing to surrender all they
