As OLD RgMIxDER.-A dried leaf from
tree is a small matter and yet under
some circumstances it may be priced
highly. w. II. Brown OF this city,
veteran Of the Mexican and civil wars,
carries two leaves, one from q beech tree
and another from holly bEsh, which he
has had about thirty-.wo years. They
were procured by him one night during
the war when he was scouting among the
rebels in eouthwertern Missouri near the
Arkansas lire, and every time he looks
at them they bring up memories of the
dangers through which he passed. They
are companions he wouldn't like to part
with n0w.-Statesman.

fellow escaped by the lower opening oi
the stove and Immediately sought refuge
up Mr.. Rsmbaugh's pants legs, inside.

scenes, was pronounced better than a
circus The -aouse was finally caught
and killed before it saw daylight.

Scots Emulsion

is not a secret remedy. 1t is
simply the purest Norway Cod
liver Oil, the finest Hypophos-
phitcs, and chemically pure Glyc-
crime, allcombined into perfect
Emulsion SO that it will never
change or lose its integrity.
This is the secret of SCOTS
lsmulsion's great success.
1t is the happy combination of
these most valuable ingredients,
materially increasing their po-
tency; hence the great value of
SCOTS Emulsion in wasting dis
eases. We think people should
know what they are taking into
their stomachs.

PLENrY OF PHEAsANrs.-Thee extent to
which the Mongolian pheasant has null
tiplied and spread out over the William
lamet;e valley in large numbers is not
generally understood, hut ii is fact that
they are exceedingly numerous. An in
dex OF this was shown by . gentleman
coming north on the local train Monday
at the same time as Secretary OF State
kincaid came hack from Eugene. The
gentleman takes = great interest in the
pheasants and concluded he would make
test ofstheir numerical strength so he
commenced counting. He sat on the east
side OF the coach, looking out only from
that side, and from Eugene to Albany at
no greater distance than about sixty
yards from the railroad track he counted
20 of these beautiful birds running around
in the fields and pastures. Ii that strip
of country is fair criterion, il is easy to
see that the bird has solid footing in
this valley.-Statesman.

Speaking of the story of Tom Williams,
who went T., Portland yesterday to give his
experience with Brady the tain robber,
the Oregonian says: ''Not much credit is
attached to the story of Williams, although
there is possibility that he is telling the
ruth. One point in his favor is that he
readily picked out picture Of Brady from
4 lot Of photographs laid before him.

School HOUSE BLOWN UP.-The Ping
Yang school house was located in the
Mohawk valley about 10 or 13 miles east
of this city. 1t is a new district. ha. ing
recently been established. Since its es-
tablishmeht there has been considerable
snimosity in the district over the loca-
ton of the school house and other things
The building was a comparatively new
one, though built on cheap plan, the
contract price being $500. About two
months ago an attempt was made 10 burn
the school house by placing a can of coal
OIL on the floor and setting FIRE TO it; but
the scheme failed and the fire went out
without consuming the oil. Last night
at 10 O'Clock q second attempt was made
to destroy the building and this time with
better success. Several sticks OF dyna-
mited were placed under the house and
exploded, with the result that the build
ing was completely demolished. School
house, books and furniture quit the
hitherto quiet regions of Ping Yang by
the upward route. The explosion was
heard for miles about--Eugene Guard.

TaE FIRST ALRANY VELocIrEnE.-tn
the window of A. L. Lambs bicycle store
may be seen machine that attracted
great attention in Albany years ago. 1t
is the first velocipede ever brought to
Alha-,y and made its advent here p
years ago. Mr.. Hezekiah d. Burkhart
w~s the owner. The machine vas made
for keeps, not for two or three years like
the present bicycles; but evidently for
centuries. Mr.. Burkhart used to rent
1t out for 25 cents ride, and is said to
have made $1,000 from its use, end the
wheel looks as solid as ever. II would
take an augur and water power to pune
ture its tire. The wheel evidently re-
tains its youthful proclivities, ior it has
been fastened with an immense chain
and lock to post as big as log and has
bedding of straw, jus. what for is not
known, as it might fall from the top OF
Mt. Hood and not be damaged.

A LIVE RUNAWAY occurred this fore
noon. q. S. Acheson's dray team
started from near the Magnolia Mills and
ran east along First street. Geo. Hughes
and J. F. Troutman's teams were in
front of W. G. Davis just starting TO
take load of furniture. Mr.. Troutman
jumped upon the Hughes dray and tried
TO get the team out of the way. The
dray was hit pretty solid blow, and the
horses almost knocked down, while Mr..
Troutman hardly knew where he was for
awhile. The shock had nearly stopped
the Acheson team and a man jumping to
their heads completed the drama. Little
damage was done, though it looked as If
everything had been smashed to pieces
for moment.

Nor CAPTURED YET.-rhe total reward
fer the capture of Brady, the train rob6er,
is $4,000 There are many reasons.to be-
lieve that the man is now passing through
this valley, trying to get TO a port where
he can ship for some foreign country. Al
he valley is full OF tramps it is natural
that good many should be mistaken fo1
Brady. This fact alone will help him
through; for everybody win always insist
the wrong man has been secured every

A wAlI. ERO1 MIArtl.

EDITOR NEWS: There has been
considerable rejoicing and hilarity
in Miami this week over the estab.
lishment of a United States court at
this place, but il is serious doubt
in the minds of many whether the
town will be materially benefited.
The district over which this court
has jurisdiction is limited and there
will be but a small amount of bust
ness which can be attended to
during short semi-annual sessions.
/ do not see that this court will at
tract any great amount of business
to the town. but on the other hand
il is very evident the loss of the sa-
looms will lie felt the year around.
Our principal attractions in the way
of trade were these same saloons
which have been abolished by the
act establishing the court. Hun
drcds of our best customers will
now 90 to Baxter and other rail-
road towns where they can buy
goods as cheap or cheaper than
here and at the same time get some
thing to wet their thirsty whistles.
The temperance people who cngi-
neered the bill have made 1t a
crime to even bring into. the Terri
tory a bottle of liquor for private
use or for medicinal purposes.
While am not in the liquor bust
ness l am interested in the bust
ness of the town and l agree with
many others in saying that the
saloons were of more real benefit
to Miami than dozen kangaroo
courts holding short sessions twice
year. In passing this stringent
prohibitory law congress has
placed the citizens of the Territory
white. red or black, on par with
the blanket Indians of the plains.
1t is if anything worse than the
prohibitory law of Kansas as il
does not even allow the druggists
to keep liquor for medicinal or
scientific purposes.
Miami has been peculiarly I'M
fortuntunate in not getting any
railroads and in great many other
ways. but the loss of the saloons is
the severest loss she has suffered
and the town company will have to
stir themselves to retrieve the dis
aster. E.

SATURDAY, MARCH 9.
CAPT. JOHN SMITH DEAD.

Captain John Smith. warden of
the Kansas penitentiary under Gov.
Martin, and a member of the state
boards of public works under Gov.
Humphrey, was found dead in n
Copeland hotel closet at $50 Mon
day morning. He was apparently
in vigorous health five minutes be-
fore his death. He ate his break
fast few minutes after 0 o'clock
and then went to the closet. A
porter heard groan, and opening
the door found Smith in the throes
of death. The porter gave the
alarm and a cot was brought from
an adjoining store room, but the
captain was dead before he could
be placed upon II.
Mr.. Smith has been frequent
visitor at Topeka since the inaugu-
ration of Governor Morrill,, but he
was not an applicant for Office.
After the passage of the Hutchinson
reformatory bill last week his name
came unbidden to all as the proper
man to be superintendent of the
new prison. As warden of the PEN
itentiary he made a reputation
throughout the country as prison
disciplinarian, and the. Kansas in
stitufion under his management
was a model one. Marked traits of
his character were kindness, sym
pathy and charity. At the. same
time he was firm In discipline.
Thus ne was peculiarly equipped
for the management of a reform
atory, and there lie no doubt that
the superintendency ofthe Hutchin-
SON reformatory would have been
offered 10 him had he not died.
