The Drummer Wasn't In il .

Lebanon society has the laugh on a
certain travelling man who was former
ly In the employ of the Standard Sew
ing Machine Company, hut at present
is travelling for the Oregon Hedge
Company. This travelling man, by
the way, is married, but he probably
thought 'catch" in Lebanon would
be the proper thing, and undoubtedly
the pleasantest way to spend dull
evening. During the evening he met
two Of Lebanon's most respectable and
accomplished ladies, and straightway
sought to "catch on.n He extended
them an invitation to Alex. Davis ice
cream parlors, which they accepted.
After partaking of ice cream, and, in
fact, variety of delicacies, and having
general good time, all at Mr.. Drum
mer's expense, the ladies arose to go,
when the traveller remarked that it
was a very pleasant evening and
would they not enjoy little walk, but
one of the ladies had an errand at the
meat market and the other concluded
to accompany her. The drummer saw
he had been played for sucker and
disappeared from public gaze. The
ladies were seen few minutes later,
oil their way home, and were evident
ly enjoying the joke immensely, SEEM
ingly saying: pretty well done for
Lebanon girls" Alex. says he would
like such customers as that drummer
every day. But the traveller" trav-
eled.

Corn in Oregon.

McMinnville Reporter says the
0regonian and Capital Journal are
booming the cultivation of corn as a
substitute for wheat in Oregon farming.
There are doubtless localities where
corn would make fairly geo crop one
year with another, especially if pains
were taken to grow the early matur-
ing varieties. But here in the valley
generally speaking, the nights are to
cool during the months of May aud
June to give the plant a vigorous and
healthy start, This is only newspaper
opinion, however. We have noticed
some small fields growing in Yamhill
county the present season while trav-
cling about, and we should be gratified
to have some OF the practical farmers
who have been experimenting with
the crop call in and knock this news
paper opinion of ours into a cooked
hat. We learned several years ago to
respect the opinion of practical farmers
in preference to opinions formulated

A NEW RAILROAD.

The MarshAeld & Peninsula n. r
has been incorporated in Portland with
a capital Of 100000. The promoters Of
the scheme are Capt. T. w. Symonds
the U. s. engineer, Lee Hoffman, a
well-known conductor, and Sanderson
Reed, an attorney. The purpose is to
build railroad and telegraph line
from the western terminus of the Coos
Bay, Roseburg & Eastern railroad In a
northerly direction to North Bend and
Coos Bay. Work will be commenced
as soon as right of way can be secured
through Marshfield. Capt. Symonds
says: "0ur idea is to build u sort Of
belt line from Marshfield around the
outer edge Of the peninsula, so as to
enable certain new industries to be
established there. These industries
cannot be established just now because
there is no way to bring in the neces-
sary materials The materials can be
obtained from along the line Of the
Coos Bay, Roseburg & Eastern railroad
which terminates at Marshfeld. Just
now we contemplate building about
four miles of track, but may build more
at later date. Eventuslly we hope
to see the G. B., r, & f. road built into
Roseburg, distance of go miles from
its present terminus at Coquille. The
q. B., r. & Il. road, which is but SO
miles in length, always has been pay
ing property, and three steamers ply
between Marshfield and San Francisco
the year round. ."-Roseburg Review.

The Marshal's Answer to
Petitioner.

LAFAYETTE, La, May ~ 1894.
To the Lafayette Gazette:
Will you allow me space in your valuable
columns to furnish your correspondent signed,
"a Petitioner the information desired in
regard to the Stock Law.
To this 1 will say that the council I'M ADOPT
ing the above ordinance didn't aim to punish.
nor favor any one in particular, nor did it
make any exception of certain stock, neither
the size nor sex. But in all laws, from the
severest to the mildest, there is, I believe,
some discretion to be used by the executive
officer appointed for the execution of the
same. In this case the marshal acting i'm
partially toward all, and somewhat in sympa-
thy with the people to whom this law is a
hardship, believed it was NO harm to leave
sucking calves or colts grazing out while their
mothers are kept inclosed. If your cores
pendent takes this opportunity to subject the
ohcer 10 ms loving criticism, becauseI have
0een TOO milo In the discharge of this special
duty WILL after this publication, inforce the
STOCK law as Requested of your correspondent.
1'es' hoes' calves, cows, colts, horses, none
excepted, even steers. So it will be useless
TO cry for mercy.
The correspondent claims that he has
iact that some steers we're roaming at large
IN the streets and no attention was paid to il
by me. This assertion deny; it is untrue.
Although I do not agree with Mr.. A Peti-
toner in this case, will endcavor to enforce
the law-and strictly-as requested

DIED.

At her residence in Lafayette
May II, 1894, Mrs. Tremnet
Plonsky beloved wife of Mr.. l..
Levy. Born at Gollub, Prussia, in
1896, deceased emigrated with her
family to America in 1861, marry
ing, in 1865, Mr.. l.. Levy in the
city of New Orleans, and at the
time of her death was the mother of
a large and interesting family of
children. Mrs. Levy came to
Lafayette with her husband in 1870,
and, by her steadfast maternal devo-
ton and exemplary character, in
all her various social Offices won the
respect and esteem of the entire
community. AT last stricken with
a cruel and relentless affection, this
good woman, after long and painful
suffering, was gathered home to Rest.
The remains were taken for inter-
ment to Washington, La, and there
the last sad rites of the Hebrew
faith, were performed, Mr.. Henry
Bendel officiating. The grief and
sorrow of the bereavcd family and
relatives, manifested in a most
touching manner, the tender affec-
ton which bound them to the de-
parted dead. May the God of
Abaham, Isaac and Jacob, bind up
the broken hearts and sooth and
comfort the troubled spirits of the
afflicted family is the fervent prayer
of The Gazette.
Messrs. Joseph and Leon Plonsky
were brothers of the deceased and
Mrs. b. Falk a sister.

the General Aseembly, is of general
intosest. Among the more impor-
tant bills which were either intro
daced or Of which notice of inten-
ton to introduce was given, might
be mentioned the bill proposing the
establishment Of z railroad commits
sion. The author of the bill is Mr..
Mouton, OF Lafayette, who sue
ceeded Mr.. Overton Cade, the pre-
sent Superintendent of the Mint,
aud who' though a new member,
has already given indication of no
little ability. His railroad COM
mission bill provides that the Gov
ernor shall appoint from the Sta:e
at large three commissioners at an
annual salary of between $4,000 and
$1,000. Each of the commissioners
shall furnish a bond of $40, 900,
and their appointment shall be con-
firmed by the Senate. In explana-
ton of his bill, Mr.. Mouton states
that his parish (Lafayettc) has been
a sufferer from rates, both on
passenger and freight traffic, and
while he does not aim at the passage
of an act which will affect the growth
of railroad interests of the State,
he desires a readjustment of rates
50 fixed by the commissioners that
the corporation may receive a fair
and equitable return ON the capital
invested. The author of the bill
does not hesitate In saying that he
expects some opposition to the bill,
but considers that as he aims at
justice alone he will be successful.
That the bill will meet with opposi-
ton is unquestioned. Those who
are believed to be in favor of
leaving railroad legislation to future
hold that the time is not oppor-
tune for the establishment of a rail-
road commission; that the country
has just emerged from the trials of
a serious financial depression and
that any enactments that would
tend restrict the roads would operate
to the prevention of further rail-
road construction. 1t is pointed
out that the railroads of the State
have made reductions of nearly 40
per cent in rates on sugar and
molasses, the principle products of
the State, and contention is made
that any further reduction would be
impracticable. AS the merits of
the bill have not yet been discussed
in full, nothing can be said as to
its probable passage, but that con-
railroad legislation will be
placed before the Senate and
House is a foregone conclusion.

Gov. Fosters m =5sage to the

throughout the State to be an able
and statesmanlike document. 1t is
an exhaustive review of the condi-
tion of the State, told in clear and
tains many wise Suggestions that
the Legislature will do we'll to con-
slider. He suggests to the Legisla-
ture the granting of Increased ap-
Blind, and Institute for the Deaf
and Dumb, the State University
and Agricultural and Mechanical
college, the State Normal School,
the Soldiers Home and the militia
The attention of the General Assem-
bly, is also called to the Insa ne Asy-
lum and to the Charity H.sp;ta:.
He speaks of the financial coz. dis n
of the State; the ass znt ro S
for 1898 showing an increase OF
S15,73o,ooo over 1892. This is
indeed very Encouraging
The governor favors the repeal {
that provision of the constitute
giving the right of voting to new
corners when they declare their in
tention to become citizens; the
educational or property qualification
to vote; the publication of the ballot
and he also urges the Legislature to
pass law legalizing general primary
elections. He advises some very
desirable changes in the judiciary,
4 modification of the justice of the
peace system to be replaced by a
minor criminal court in every parish,
thus doing away with the present
delay in bringing offenders to trial
and reducing the cost.
Prize fighting receives the atten-
don of the governor. He recon-
neads the enactment of 4 law to
suppress it.
He favors the election OF the
police jurors by the people instead
Of beng appointed by the governor.
