landlady was a nice old soul, with
two daughters On the ground floor

cutlery and fireworks were sold.
Early one morning Leland and a
friend were sitting on bench before
the tavern, waiting !or stage coach
to take them out OF town. Suddenly

the fireworks, and puffs OF smoke
were seen coming out Of the bursting
windows
Tie front store was an fire: is was
full OF rockets. crackers, and other
fireworks In the back store there
was a barrel Of gunpowder, which Mr..
Leland had seen there "A few days be-
fore when buying powder for his pis-
tolls.
The family were asleep. Leland
ran across the street, and rushed up
three flights OF stairs, screaming, ut

Option.
The -ocal option taxation bill which
the league succeeded in defeating in
the assembly last year. has again been
introduced-this time by Senator Brad
ley. of Kings county. IL is a perni-
cious, ill-advised measure, radically ard
fundamentally wrong. and should be
opposed TO the uttermost by every
farmer and real estate owner in the
state. That the people are opposed to
il was evidenced last year, when the
Advocate" invited discussion upon IL
We found no one who favored il, and
everyone when ac9u1inted with the
provisions of the bill denounced il in
the broadest terms
Every great and powerful nation has
been built up by the anna lgamation of
smaller communities. beginning with
the little rural settlement, continuing
with the village, town and district until
counties are formed, these collected into
states or provinces when the nation as
formed by the union of the peoples
forces are recognized as grand totality
by the civilized world. The way 10
destroy this totality, to pull down this
bulwark of the people, to reduce TO
chaos this fair order of government
and mutual support is, to set up I! e
small autonomies in their original for.

communities separate and distinct leg
islation and make them in measure
dependent on themselves and indepen-

ton pure and simple, this is sapping
the very foundations of the constitu-
ton, this is attempted anarchy and
nothing less-and this is what the
local option taxation bill amounts 10

A Mosfer Ind ustry.

For some days poor fellow has been
selling around town some very fine
pieces of silica for polishing metal
More than one person has looked upon
the stuff as manufactured article, but
such is not the case. The mans name
is w. 7. Meeks and he gets the silica
from claim located by him fourteen
miles west of The Dalles. Itis in the
natural state and the cakes that he sells
are sawed out of the vein that run across
his place. 1t is likely that he has a
very valuable property, for it is seven
feet in width and of unknown depth,
extending across his forty acres. The
silica can be taken out in blocks six
feet through. A we'll known Buffalo
chemist assayed specimens of it two
years ago and learned that it was ninety
eight per cent pure. Inasmuch as that
found along the Atlantic coast seldom
runs higher than twenty-five per cent,
and must be refined, Meek's property,
which can be used in its natural state,
should be worth great eal.-Portland

Wilson Rogers has been a successful

which he has sought relief in drink. He

heavily.
He lived with his daughter and her
husband, John Frank, at the home of
DR.. Specs.
Coming home intoxicated, his daugh
ter demonstrated with him, and he be.
came very angry, even threatening her
with a penk knife. DIR. Specs quieted
him and got him into the house. But
he became restless and went out. To.
ward noon he came in again and retired
to his room. An hour or two later he
called little Charlie, his grandson, gave
him his gold watch and exhibited half
ounce bottle from which he said he had
drank laudanum.
He soon went into stupor from
which it was impossible to arouse him.
Death came about nine o'clock Saturday
evening. He seemed to suffer no pain.
1t was thought for while that he had
taken part of vial of Fowler's solution
OF arsenic, but Coroner Russ returned a
verdict Of death from opium poisoning.
Mr.. Rogers was sixty three years OF
age, born near Samantha. He was an
honest, industrious and skillful work
man. His mind is supposed to have
been temporarily unbalanced by trouble

Wants Money.

Our readers probably remember that
the Gas and Electric works had a claim
OF So, 100 against this city, which it as
signed to the Citizens National before
the collapse of that institution. Then
the city having 900 on deposit in the
bank claimed that the $500 should be
credited dollar for dollar. This the re.
ceiver refused to do. Then came law.
suit which went against the city. Now,
the receiver wants his money. The city
finance committee are willing to give
him the 500 due from the next divi-
dend, and say he must wait for the bal.
ance. He says he will take Judgment.
But, as the city building, water works
and fire department are exempt from
levy, he can only look to the stone
quarry, which is worth about $4OO out
of which to make the claim, amounting
now to some two or three hundred dol.
lars more than originally. How the
matter will be determined is one OF those
those things which no fellow can find
out till it happens.

Recently, Miss Anna Murphy, who is

Recently, Miss Anna Murphy, who is
a governess in the home of VIM. d. Al
lison, a wealthy resident of Englewood,
New Jersey, arrived here on visit to
her home. She brought with her the
little four-year-old son, Dana, who had
recently been prostrated with scarlet
fever. The bright little boy had been
suffering with spinal trouble and other
after effects of the dread disease, and
his parents thought the western trip
might do him good. After arriving
here, however, he was taken with bron.
chial pneumonia, and, in spite of the
tenderest care and attention, he died
Friday night, on the fourth anniversary
Of his birthday. His father was enroute
here at the time, and arrived Saturday.
The body was taken TO New Vienna
Sunday morning, whence it was shipped
home over the B. g. o. Mr.. Allison was
accompanied upon his return by Miss
Murphy, whose grief over the death ol
her little charge was almost as deep al
his own.
