Farmers Institute.

The fifth annual session of the !
Henry County Farmers Institute
Association was held in the opera
house in Napoleon on Friday and
Saturday last, and Notwithstanding
the inclemency of the weather was
largely attended and was a success
throughout. The State lecturers
were Hon. Alva Agee, of Cheshire,
and DR.. Isaac Kagy, of Tiffin, both
of whom read interesting papers and
spoke entertainingly upon farm sub
iects. The recitations by home talent,
interspersed throughout the different
sessions of the Institute, were well
received by appreciative audiences
and all of those taking part reflected
much credit upon themselves and the
Institute. The program as prepared
originally was carried out in the main,
there being but few changes, and we
believe it was one of the best pro-
grams gotten up since the inaugura-
tion of these farmers meetings. For
this the society is indebted to the un-
tirine efforts of President Pontious
and Secretary Davis, both of whom
performed their duties faithfully
I'VE take the following from Secretary
Davis report:
The committee on nomination gave
their report as follows: For President,
A. G. Senter; President, b. f.
Pontious; Secretary, j. G. Davis;
Treasurer, M. J. Grimes; Executive
Committee, E. w. Brubaker, George
Kicker, John Shelf, VIM. Tubbs and
E. NJ Hollopeter.a
The report was accepted and adopt
ed.
The committee on resolutions made
their report but it is not in our pos
session. NJ
The Secretary had number OF in
stitute and agricultural reports whlch
were distributed.
Attendance 435; average attendance
for five sessions was 316.

SQUIRE WINS IT
Title to Between 100000 and
100000 Of Property
IT Is A MOST FAMOUS CASE
The New York Supreme Court Decides
That the Sale 10 the Sena-
tor Was Valid.

WATERFOWL, N. Y. Oct 3.-Judge
Williams Of the supreme court today
gave an opinion in the celebrated suit
brought by Phil Osgood and others
against United States Senator Watson
c. Squire and others, involving the title
to between 81 200, 900 and 50 900, 900 worth
of property in the city of Seattle,
Wash. The judge decides in favor of
Senator Squire.
The case has been on trial more than
year and has excited wide interest.
Originally Phil o. Remington. the
great typewriter man of Ilion, N. Y,
together with Phil Osgood, Floyd Shep-
ard, w. S. King and ]. N. Goodwin
bought the property in partnership,
Remington and Osgood advancing
much of the money for the purchase of
land and the title remained theirs until
1868. Goodwin and Osgood released
to Remington subsequently all their in
terest in the property
On July IL, 1876, Remington decided
the property to his son-in-law, Watson
c. Squire. for the sum of $4,000.
In 1898, King, Osgood and Shepard,
three of the original owners made
claim to an interest in the property I'M
der the original agreement. Judge
Williams holds chat the partnership
originally agreed to by the parties was
partnership in name but not in effect
He finds that the sale to Squire was
fair and valid and orders a final de-
cision to be prepared in accordance
with the opinion, dismissing the COM
plant with costs.

ANALYSIS OF BUSINESS FAILURES
They Indicate Condition Approaching
One of General PrnsperitY.


They Indicate a Condition Apron ching
One OF General Prosperity.
New York. Oct. 4.-R. G.. Dun &,
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade tomor-
row will say:
Commercial failures in the third
quarter of 1895 were 1892, with liabili-
ties of 1872. 167179. averaging s11,591 per
firm, against s10,02S last year, about 10
per cent more. The rate of commercial
mortality is 2.34 failures in a quarter
for every 1000 firms in business, which
Is lower than last year.
In the third quarter when failures
are usually low, the average of liabili-
ties in prosperous years falls below
$4,000, the mortality number below two
in 1000 firms. the defaulted liabilities
below 81 per 1000 exchanges and below
$3.50 per firm In business. Thus the
anlyss indicates a condition approach
ing but not yet reaching one of gem
eral prosperity.
Highly important comparisons of
prices this week show about September
3, the lowest range ever known for the
wholesale prices of all commodities,
Notwithstanding advances since March
of 20 per cent in cotton goods 40 per
cent in boots and shoes and SO per cent
in iron and steel products, while in
wooden goods there are scarcely any ad-
vance, and in all food products taken
together, fall of II per cent. Compar-
isons show a fall of food products of
1872 per cent in the five years since Oc-
tober. 1890, in wooden goods, 22.5 per
cent in iron products at 1874 per cent,
and in cotton goods 1856 per cent, while
boots and shoes are a little higher and
leather and hides much higher than five
years ago.
1.-THE Pennsylvania railroad has or
dered 1000 steel rails and other roads
$4,000, but the steel makers having
bought their pig, Bessemer is lower and
also gray forge. and demand for finish
ed products is decidedly smaller, so
that the average of iron prices turns
downward for the first time since Feb
ruary.
Coke workers gain per cent more
wages and coke is raised IS to SO per
cent. Wool speculation continues with
enormous transactions, 1892 900
pounds for the week and for the month
1885,, 40 pounds. of which 9,165, 700
were domestic, but the average OF i04
quotations is l cent lower than a month
ago. The manufacturers are doing
well In dress goods and many special
ties but has lost large share of bust
ness in mems woolens and wool is l per
cent higher and goods per cent lower
than year ago."

HE CLAIMS AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP
Exhibits a Passport Bearing the sigma
ture OF James G. Blaine.

San Francisco, Oct. 3.-Among the
passengers on the last trip of the steamer
Rio de Janeiro was a coolie named Gee
Hop who was returning from a long visit
to China. Gee Hop claims to be a citizen
of the United States, and produces docu-
ments to prove it. among other things a
passport issued by the department of
state bearing the signature of James G.
Blaine.
Collector Wise, however. says he is sole
judge as to the landing of Chinese, and
he refuses to recognize Gee Hops creden-
tials.
The matter VIII now be taken into the

Will be watched for with interest.
NO NOVEL FEATURES.
Washington, Oct. at is said at the
treasury department that the case of the
Chinaman, Gee Hop. who claims admls-
sion into this country at San Francisco
on the ground that he is a naturalized cit
lien Of the United States, presents no
novel features. The law is very plain
on that point. The act approved May 6.
1882, provides, THAT hereafter no state
court or court Of the United States shall
admit Chinese to citizenship, and all
laws In conflict with this act are hereby
repealed
AS to Gee Hop having a passport sign
ed by the secretary of state, the de-
partment knows nothing about 1t, nor is
II Of any advantage to him. The act pro-
hibiting courts from admitting Chinese
to citizenship was passed in 1882, eight
years before Hops passport was issued,
hence they are null and void, and were
so at the time they were issued, as was
also the passport.

'hN hhAtS'N uillpfnlh PROJECT.
Boise Idaho. Oct. "A largely attend
ed meeting OF business men was held this
afternoon to determine whether this city
should offer any bonus to the proposed
Butte-California railroad A statement
was presented from the company stating
that 1t was prepared to proceed with the
road, and expressing the belief that this
city would contribute. 1t was intimated
that the company would like to have the
grade built from Boise to Caldwell by
Boise citizens, right of way through
this city and cash bonus. The statement
specially stipulated that no part of the
bonus or right OF way should be turned
over until the road should be completed.
The time the company expects to elapse
before the completion of the road was
shown by the stipulation that the deeds
and agreement should remain In escrow
for two years.
After discussion II was resolved that
the citizens would give cash bonus of
$4,000.
A committee was appointed which is
negotiating with Mr.. Woodwork. 1t is
probable that the right OF way and the
grade viii also be thrown In.

R in DOWN BY THE DEPUTY SHERIFF
Caught IN the Act OF Selling Lot Of
Cows.

Walla Walla. Oct 4.-Michael Ryan,
who Is said to reside near Milton, Or.
and who has been in the habit of selling
other peoples cattle without the owners
permission, was cleverly run down by
Deputy Sheriff Young yesterday after
noon.
Ryan was caught In the act OF selling a
lot OF cows to Mr.. Brennan. a barber OF
this city, when he was arrested.
Ryan protested against his arrest, as
the officers had no warrant for him, but
Deputy Young argued that It would likely
be better for the thief IL he made no OBJ
lection. His argument was so strong
that Ryan consented. He was placed in
the county jail until Mrs. Koontz, of NIL
ton, could arrive to Identify two of the
cattle.
After this was done the warrant was
sworn out, and Sheriff Houser, of Umatil-
Ia county, who happened to be in the city
on other business, gave Ryan n free pass
to Pendleton. whore ne will board.
