A Matter of Business.

the Fearful Accident Insurance compa-
ny, ''be sure and drop in at old Cur
mudge's as you pass this morning and
express your sympathy over the loss OF
his brother in the railroad accident yes
terday. Express mine also to him"
But old Curmudge had no brother
in the accident" said the canvasser.
What has that to do with it," said
the secretary cheerily. "All he can do
is to tell you So"
But it might unnecessarily alarm
him." persisted the ~canyasser.
That's the point; that's exactly the
point, returned the secretary cheerily.
Alarm him as much as possible. His

irons that in the midst of life we are

wASHlNGToN'S STATE DINNERS.
They Were Very solemn Affairs. Accord
ing to an Ancient Annalist.

Washingtun's state dinners must nave
been exceedingly solemn affairs If they
were all like the description of the fol-
lowing, which is found in the ancient
diary Of Senator Maclay, one of the first
two representatives of the state of Penn
s~ylvania in the United States senate:

site each other III the middle of the table,
the two secretaries, n at each end. IL
was a great dinner and the best of the
kind | ever was at. The room, however,
was disagreeably warm.
First were soup, fish, roasted and
baked meats, CANNON, fowl, etc. This
was the dinner. The middleo of the table
was garnished in the usual tasty way,
with small images, artificial flowers, etc.
The dessert was fruit. apple pies, pud-
ding. etc, then ice cream, jelly, etc.,
then watermelons, muskmelons, apples,
peaches and nuts.
at was the most solemn dinner l was
Over at. Not a health drank, scarce a
word said until the cloth was k

of wine, with great formality drank the
health of every individual around the
table. Everybody initiated him, changed
glasses. and such a buzz of Health, SIR
Health, madame THANK you, sir and
THANK you, madame l had never heard
before.

bottle passed about, but there was a dead

Dufur VS.. Jayne.
TAXPAYER.

by electing Hon. 4. B. Dnfur district
attorney the taxpayers Of this county
will be insured against useless and un-
necessary expense. Everybody knows
that this position requires the very best
timber that can be found. Whenever
there is an important criminal case, the
defense Of course employs the ablest law
yers and best legal talent in the land
such as Hon. A. s. Bennett. What
success can a district attorney of limited
experience expect TO have with such OPP
ponents as Mr.. Bennett in case? As
able an attorney as is w. Ii. Wilson, it
is all he can do to "hold down" Bennett,
and then very often, even with the best
case, he doesn't succeed, as all our tax
payers know. Mr.. Bennett recently told
Condor citizen that he would rather
have for his opponent in case any at
torney in the 7th district in preference
to +. B. Dufur; that he (Dufur) was
by far the ablest lawyer in the district.
Taxpayers, before you cast your vote
for district attorney next Monday, con-
slider this case with sound Judgment.
1t is strictly nonpartisan Office, so you
are not obliged to "vote straight
ticket" as the bosses will boiler. About
all the sympathy political boss has for
the taxpayers is to get as much money
out OF them as possible without earning
it. Beware of the political boss.
The voters of this county know better
than to pay any attention to the cheap
penny-a-line stuff that appears in the
Arlington paper against Mr.. Dufur.
Probably the few cents its publisher re-
ceives for such work blinds him to the
best interests ST the taxpayers of this
county. The GLOBE is simply working
for what 1t honestly believes is TO the
best interests Of the taxpayers and coun-
ty, and is not favoring the election ol
Mr.. Dufur with the selfish motive that
prompts the Arlington paper to "boost'
his opponent at penny line. Nc
doubt the reason, and it is very good
one, that Mr., Dufur has not made any
speeches is for the same reason thai
Judge Bennett says he has not made any
speeches in this campaign-because the
office is not political one.

The Columbia on a Tear.

The Columbia river is higher than it
has been since '62: The water has
washed out miles of railroad between
Umatila and Portland, and it will be at
least two or three weeks before it can be
repaired so that trains can run again.
Nearly mile of road is washed away
just above Arlington, and the town of
Grant is entirely submerged, all its citi-
zens. being obliged to desert their homes.
AT Quinns the water is four feet deep on
the track and is up to Sd street in The
Dalles. All the streams in the country
are higher than they have been for many
years, the Willamette doing its share of
damage along with the rest. Skiffs have
been used on Front and First streets in
Portland the last week. No mail has
been received here since Monday, but
we understand a steamer has been
brought down from Snake river, which
will meet the Portland steamers at
Cello, and the mail, express and freight
will be transported by boat until trains
can run again. The damage by the
Columbia will run into millions of dol
lars
