did you ever hear of a squatting
mule2" asked a prominent coal OPP
orator. "Well, / don't blame you
for not knowing what ] mean, for
after Is years experience in the coal
business ] did not know of such
mule until recently. One of our
men sent me word that on one of the
workings there was a steep incline
over which it was difficult for the
men to push the cars. told him to
try a mule, and in reply he stated
that he had purchased a 'squatting
mule In mines it means a great
deal of money to get mule that can
do the work and at the same time
small enough to walk through the
low workings of the mine. Some
times for hundreds of feet the tun-.
nels will be high enough to allow
mule to walk through them then at
some points the ceiling may get SO
low that the mule cannot crawl un-
der it. Now, to make the passage
way high enough for the mule
would entail a great expense, yet we
have often had to do this. But q
'squatting mule obviates this by
crouching down when it gets to the
low places, adapting itself to the
height of the tunnel as much as pos
sible. So 2 'sauatting mule to min
ers is much more expensive than
one that is not 80 trained. PITTS

threshing continued Notwithstanding the
frequency of the showers, though the
usual progress could not be made, owing
to the grain being too tough. Grain con-

being full average in most sections.
The price offered is the only source of

curing at that place. A party of movers

travelling northward, included a girl Is

town. were smitten mutually, and were
married. The young couple renamed here

ways. Within few weeks loye's young
dream was DER. The Young man turned
out to be brute, abused and maltreated
his wife and then lett the country, aband.

Some people here kindly gave her home
until she received last week money enough
to pay her railroad fare to Moscow, Idaho,
where her relatives now are. She started
for that place Saturday evening.

This morning about half-psst o'clock
the passenger train, west-bound, ran into
sand bank near old Cello, causing the
mail car to leave the track and to violently
collide with the baggage coach in the
rear. At the time there were three men
riding on what is termed the "bllnd bag
gage" Two jumped on the right side
and averted the consequence of the COL
lislen, but the other on the left side and
was caught under the truck and instantly
killed. A boy on the coach with the un-
fortunate man came on the train to this
city. He says the fellow got on the TRAN
at Umahlla; but he could not give his
name or any particulars in reference to
him. The body was brought to the city,
and Coroner Butts held an inquest over
the remains, and the following verdict
was rendered.
We the jury empannelled to ascertain
the cause of the death of certain person
killed at or near Deschutes, on the 18th
day of September, 1894, find as follows:
That said deceased came to his death
by reason of the mail car in train No. l,
in which he was riding being deralled,
and crushing said deceased to death.
We further find that said deceased has
no known relatives and we are unable
from the testimony produced at said IN
quest to ascertain his name, but his des-
oript,on is ae folloUs.
Aged between 2h and 30 years, dark
short hair, smoothly shaved except small
mustache, light brown eyes, about feet
6 inches in height, wore blue overalls
over a pair of striped pants, striped
vest, grey coat, brown crushed hat, blue
striped g:ngham shirt and no under
wear. And IN conclusion we further find
that said deceased came to his death !
through an unavoidable accident, and that
the o. R. & n. railway company ani all |
persons are entirely exonerated from any |
and all responsibility connected with the
death of said deceased. That he had no

The Dlvinest Thing In Childhood.

Ao AtNihcSs AAAh6 Al NiAAAuAcous
The very finest expression on the
face of child or infant seems to me
to be that of open eyed and often
open mouthed curiosity and wonder.
The objects of nature charm and en-
trance the soul, which for the mo,
ment becomes almost one with the
face. The diyinest thing in child,
hood, which only bad school meth
DDS can kill, which prompts the
primeval experiments of infants in
learning to use their senses, limbs
and minds upon nature, is the root
of the spirit of research, which ex-
plores, prizes, inquiries so persistently,
and often SO destructively In older
children, and comes to full maturity
in the investigator behind the tele-
scope or microscope in the labora-
tory, seminary, library or on explor-
ing expeditions. At its best this
spirit Of research has awe and rev.
erence enough in it to give it a high
and positive religious character.-G.
