A prominent republican politician is
authority for the statement that Morrill,
has agreed to put $4,000 in the state
campaign. This explains why Martin

Rev. (Whst't his nsmeH), of LindsborR,
says In the Capital, "All trsmps, social
lists, anarchists and commu nists vote the

less language for an alleged teacher to
use. Tramps have no residence, have no
vote, and why should such oppOsites as
anarchists and socialists vote the same

One OF the funniest sights Incidental
to political conventions is the man who
is politically dead and, like the Irish
mans snake, don't know it. He has
been rspudiAted and sat upon because
he was considered incompetent or I'm.
trustworthy, and yet he continues to
bob up and make himself ridiculous
whenever he is given a chance. Such
Oorpses may be found in almost every
locality.
Delegates to the state convention will
bear in mind that We have some pretend
ing Populists in Shawnee county who
would gladly deliver the state over to
the republicans in order to get even with
certain individuals who have failed to
recognize the pretenders' political merits.
These fellows would chuCkls with Rlee to

the battlefield on Keith Hill, where Philips
men came to grief. There were certain
places resorted to by the Indians for growing
their corn and as far as my knowledge ex-
tends they were usually on the hillsides.
Some of the small mortars have, no doubt,
been removed from their original places but
others remain where they were used. fixed as
the enduring hills. The soapstone vessels
used by the Nipmucs are of various sizes, and
have been numerously found in Millbury and

and on the highest points OF land, they have
been unearthed, many broken and Others in

the shade. II was covered with chrysanthe-

flowers and the rather stiff leaves were soft

the foundations pale green-a very lovely
combination of color and one much liked by
ladies who are furnishing their boudofrs in

A very trim and beautiful shade was one

covered with white silk. Over the silk there
fell, without ever a trace of loop or festoon. a
deep ruffie of richly embroidered white chif-
fon. 1t was of the finest silk embroidery and
the effect was as tranquilizing as the white
gown OF the debutante. Around the upper
edge where the chiffon went on and where
it would show to good effect, in the upper
rays of the to-be-envied lamp, there went a
"collar" OF chrysanthemums. Later there
may be holly and mistletoe put in for the hol-

An oregonian's Great Scheme.

A young man who not long since found tho
pleasures of city life pail on him and went
out into Washington county to DO Jolly
farmer claims to have discovered amethod OF
utilizing oak grubs, which. if it works, will
prove the greatest discovery of the age, as
far as farming in Oregon is concerned.
Every one who has had anything TO do with
farming in the Willamette Valley knows what
a nuisance oak Grubs are. They are young
oak trees, which in many places cover large
tracts, and are called grubs because the only
way of getting rid of them is by grubbing
them up. They have caused more back
aches and heartaches and the use
of more profanity than any
other kind of grub in the State, though the
grub furnished in some places is enough to
make q saint swear. Well, this genius of a
farmer has grated all his oak grubs with
chestnut scions, and says they are doing
finely, and that in few years he will be fat

Some Of the new evening brocades, which,
we are told, are soon TO take the place of the
more matroniy moires. are enchanting revela-
tons In texture they seem created to en-
durs longer than life Itself; and, together
with new and novel designs, are seen many
OF the dainty patterns of the long ago.

strewn with wreaths or magenta pink roses,
tied with ribbons of the same shade. Another
is shown with little foolish rosebuds, red.

In the same way. through the most modish
illustrations we are made to see that the
slight dropping OF narrow belt in front will
increase an effect of waist slightness. A
bodice, too, with a round, half-high neck, is

The stiff, rustling silk or satin of the pom

bodice, this being made exclusively in chiffon,
mousseline de sole, crepe and even tulIe,
either plain, jeweled, or spangled. Chiffon
waists for plain skirts, however, are some
times brocaded quite as gorgeously as some

seen before in such vast profusion and variety;
but proper foundation is certainly one of
the most important points in their making up.
