Destruction Of a Noted Edifice,

The great Mosque of Damascus, one
OF the most noted buildings in the
world, was, according to late adviccs,
destroyed by fire several months ago,
and the fact has been, for some cause,
kept secret by the Turkish govern
ment. The associations connected
with this structure extend back into
the mists of antiquity, and it was
one OF the principal points of at
traction in a city teeming with inter-
esting memories. The site of this
mosque was the place of worship of
Jupiter. In the fourth century it was
converted into church and dedicated
to st. John the Baptist, and in the be.
ginning of the eighth century it was
seized by the followers of Mahomet
and diverted to his worship. A de-
scription of the mosque shows it to
have been of colossal proportions. At
the north side was an open court sur
FOUNDED by cloisters resting on pillars
of granite, marble and limestone. The
mosque itself extended along the
whole southern side, and its interior
dimensions we're 431 by 125 feet. In
the center was dome resting on four
massive pillars. Underneath was
cave, in which the head of John the
Baptist was said to be preserved in a
golden casket. The mosque had three
minarets, one of which was $50 feet
high and upon it, according to Moslem
traditions, Jesus was to have descend
ed on the day of judgment. Around
the mosque were traces of a court l.
100 feet long by 800 feet wide, encom-
passed by colonnades similar to those
of the temple of Herod, in Jerusalem,
and the temple of the sun at Palmyra

Thurston County Alliance

Held its twelfth quarterly meeting at
South Union on Friday, January 18th.
Owing to the inclemency of the
weather and the place not being &C.
cessible by railway but few locals were
represented, but what was lacking in
numbers was made up by the active
interest taken by those present.
The session was opened at 80 p. N.
by President ]. R. Ellswick in the
chair. After the usual routine bus
mess was gone through with, Mr.. Nc
Intyre discussed among other questions,
pointing out very plainly the necessity
OF cooperative work in the disposal OF
crops and the purchase Of supplies.
The evils OF the "truck" system, "a
system abolished in England nearly
40 years ago. were also ventilated and
shown to be great hindrance in the
way OF the reforms demanded of the
alliance by S. E. Jones. Other
speakers took up county matters, and
reference was made to the recent ac-
ton made by the board Of commits
sioners, restraining supervisors from
doing any work on the roads, except
that the commissioners visit each road
district where work is needed to be
done, and give authority for the same.
Some members thought that the
board of commissioners deplore and
deeply regret the economic act which
they so recently perpetrated in dis
charging one or two clerks, and that
now the board were determined to rec
ompense (not the clerks)but themselves
and gain their former standing in the
community by looting the treasury of
all there was in it in the shape OF
extra pay" for visiting the forty and
odd road districts in the county. The
committee on resolutions, through
their chairman, Mr.. L&throp, stated
that they believed the time was come
when resolutions should be placed on
one side, and that each alliance man
should step forward and vote and
work for the best interests of the ALI
ance by supporting the party which
supports the alliance demands. They
would recommend that each local
should hold at least one open meeting
per month. Mr.. N. 7. Shelton made
a short speech on woman's work in
the alliance. The alliance then adj

FROM BAD TO WORsE.-The Demo.
Gratis in Oregon have just discovered
that Comptroller Eckels has appointed
an ex-convict Bank Examiner, and
later Receiver of the Oregon National
bank. 1t seems that Lionel Stagge,
the favored one, under the assumed
name of A. l.. Warehouse, served a
term in the Oregon penitentiary, for
obtaining money upon fraudulent
checks. Stage admits the soft i'm.
parchment, but declares he has re.
formed. Democrats think that this is
even worse than appointing Republi-
cans to office, which had already
placed Eckels in bad repute with his
party.

TO the Board of County Commission
ers OF Thurston County:
Although not required by law to make
a report OF the affairs and conditions Of
tine county at this time vet few facts
and figures showing what has been at
complished during the year ending De-
cember 81, 1898, may not be unnterest-
ing and may also be OF service to the
board OF county commissioners in pre-
pairing Tor the business OF the ensuing
year so that work IN the various depart
mcnts of the county may be transacted
with the least expense to the taxpayers,
consistent with good management.
The work of the board has been
hampered on account of the great debt
with which the county was burdened az
the beginning Of the term and also on
account of the low assessment for the
year 1899. The low assessment OF 1893
will be a detriment to the satisfactory
administration OF affairs for the ensuing
year.
The present board took the reins Just
at the completion Of the court house and
found the county in debt as follows:

Tho Feast OF st, barbara,

The feast of St. Barbara like that
of st. Martin, is a soldiers fcte in
Italy. The heroic girl, if we may
believe an old story of the tenth CEN
tury, was an angel of beauty and vir-
tue, born in a fortress where her
father, Dioscoro, was the governor
and also aid -tlc-camp to the emperor,
Maximilian. St. Barbara first saw
the light in Italy in her fathers beau
tiful villa near Scandriglia, a gift
from the emperor to his general, rich
with mineral waters, marvellous
plants, statues, etc, where she passed
tho first few years Of her life, and
where she became convert to the
Christian religion.
The beautiful girl was hunted to
death, taken prisoner, her breasts
were cut off, and she was exposed to
brutal soldiers, who took possession
of her, fastened her to a stake, covered
her with quicklimc and burned her
to DEATH and this she suffered rather
than rcnounce the religion she had
embraced. This, at least, is the leg
end, and the artillery and the engi
neer regiments fcte her as their p;.
tron, to whom they show much 70
spect and gratitude, especially az
they have half the day free and dou-
bic pay. London Society.
