Circuit Court in Benton,

In the circuit court at Corvallis
last week the court disposed Of
matters in connection with the Job
bank case and the o. P. railroad
case that's ofinterest to our readers.
In the latter case Wallis Nash ap-
peared with his application for an
appeal perfected and it was ordered
that the clerk Of the court forward
to the supreme court the records
and the testimony in the case.
This places the o. P. appeal in the
supreme court for adjudication:
In the matter Of the assignment
OF Hamilton, Job & Company came
J. R. Bryson, assignee, and Florence
Gilbert, one of claimants, by her
attorney, w. S. McFadden, and the
Agricultural college. claimant, by
John Burnett, attorney, and by
consent Of parties the objection OF
Florence Gilbert to the claim of the
Agricultural college as reported by
the assignee for s17,664.74 was
withdrawn, waived and dismissed.
and said Florence Gilbert admits
that said claim is entitled to par
ticipate with other claims in the
proceeds Of said estate.
This is the finale to the suit
brought by Fioreuce Gilbert to shut
out the claim Of the O.. A. c., on
account of a flaw in the attachment
placed on the Job property by the
college, and the subsequent failure
of the college TO present, its claims
OF SIT, ,664.74 to the assignee during
the proper time allowed creditors
for that purpose. 1t is understood
that the case was not without
foundation to stand upon. There
was enough law behind it that a
well known Portland firm offered
to take the case TO the supreme
court with the agreement that they
would pay all the costs if they were
beaten. It was more or less of a
factor in securing the dismissal of
the county and college cases.

The most important matter dis
posed of at tie adjourned term was
the dismissal of the county and COL
lege cases against the assignee of
the Job bank. The dismissal was
made on motion Of the plaintiff S
attorneys, and is chiefly the result
ofnumerous recent court decisions
hostile 10 their theory that trust
funds have preference over other
creditors, in all cases. As a result
Of the dismissal, assignee Bryson
made application for all order to
paw ten per cent dividend, and
such all order was made. The as
signee has on hand the chief por-
ton Of the $50, COO or thereabouts
that will he required to make the
distribution, and hopes to collect
enough more to begin paying it
about the 10th inst. The dismis-
sal ends all litigation pending
agains: the assignee of the defunct
bank.

The Oregon Pacific Appeal.

The transcript for the o. P. ap-
peal was completed in the clerks
Office at Corvallis about six O'Clock
Monday morning and reached the
supreme court at Salem the same
day, securing place for the appeal
on the docket for the spring term.
There are two terms Of the supreme
court, beginning respectively on
the first Mondays in March aud
October, and there is so much
business before the court that the
business of one term is never fin
is,led before the beginning of an
other term is reached. The appel
lants now have 20 days in which
to serve on the respondents, an ab-
stract of the grounds and facts Of
the appeal. Then the respondents
make a similar showing of what
they claim the facts to be, and the
briefs are prepared and the case is
argued. Attorneys familiar with
supreme court matters do not think
a decision of the appeal can be
reached before the end of May.
Bonner and Hammond, it is sup
posed, will be the chief people to
oppose the appeal. The transcript
of the pleadings comprise $50 type
written pages, and the work was
done by Y. E. and Joseph Wilson,
the comparing being done by Clerk
Hunter and Deputy Carlisle. They
worked nearly all of Saturday night,
all day Sunday and all Of Sunday
night. The fee for the transcript
was about $3.50.

The year just passed has been
the hardest one upon the newspapers
that they have experienced since
1869, says the press printer. Very
few newspapers have gained in
circulation. About one-half of the
newspapers and other publications
in the United States have decreased
in size in the past year The num-
Der that have been suspended is
not definitely known, but it is
known, that owing to decreased
size and suspensions, there is 4S
per cent. less white paper of the
news class used than was the case
one year ago. The number of
newspapers published today in the
United States is IS per cent less
than III 1895, the first year in o5
years that the statistics have shown
a decrease. In New York state
alone, 273 newspapers suspended
publication in 1898, and it is said
that this year at least $50 more will
pass to the great majority. These
figures are complied from author.

There is no further doubt that

There is no further doubt that
the Oregon Pacific case will be ap-
pealed TO the supreme court for A
final decision. This is not a matter
of regret, or at least should not be.
The matter should be settled and
settled finally. 1t would be worse
to have the matter drag along.
Now that Mr.. Nash and his COL
leagues have the matter fairly in
hand the only thing to be hoped
for is that they will get it before the
supreme court as quickly as possible.
After it is once before the supreme
court every city council, board Of
trade, OF other business organiza-
ton along the line or contiguous
thereto, should prepare and present
to the supreme court a petition
asking that the case be advanced
on the docket and brought to a
speedy termination. To our mind
the appeal is brought more in the
nature Of bluff, and to cause TN
necessary delay, than for any other
purpose. With the history of the
Oregon Pacific fresh in the minds
Of the courts it will be a hard matter
for Wallis Nash to convince them
that he can bring bidder that will
bid anything legitimately for the
road. We do hot apprehend a
serious reverse from the supreme
court. The facts of the case are
too potent. But what we do ap-
prehend serious danger from is a
long and tedious delay pending a
hearing and decision of the matter
by the supreme court. By all
means let it go to the higher court,
and then use all the influence
possible to advance it to an early
hearing.

Alley might do for justice of the

His Bright Cook Succeeded In Getting Tia
Better of Him.

NtNNA Va AAIslls
A citizen of Kiev, Russia, found
fault with the dinner prepared by his
new cook and rashly embodied his crit.
icism in cutting saroasms The young
woman heard him in silence. In tho
evening he knocked up against a man
IN deserted little street, and when he
Ventured to demonstrate he was vigor-
ously assaulted. Unable to set the bet
ter OF his adversary, ho determined to
do what ho could at least to identify
him later OH, and with this object in
view toro his assailants fashionable
clothes into shreds. On his return home,
some few hours later, he found the cook
standing at the door, ready to shake the
dust Of his house off her feet The gem

him in no very amiable mood, simply
said: Joy be with you'll Some time will

moning tho other servants to the room,
he angrily asked them what they knew
about the matter, whereupon the nurse
replied that the cook, in one of her
freaks OF fun, had donned her masters
garments and gone out to walk in them
the evening before, sticking on an arti-
fetal mustaoho to help to keep up the
illusion. Then it dawned upon the
wretched man that his assailant of the
day before was the touchy, turbulent
cook. Less than a fortnight later he re.
ceived letter through the city post in
forming him, in somewhat ungrammat-
ical but uhmistakable language, "You
lied about the place, respected sir, when
you said l could not get another if

The value Of mantle of snow in pro-
tecting vegetation in the fields in win
ter is fully understood in farming dis
tricts, and the cause of the protective
effect Of the snow is an interesting sub
ject of scientific inquiry.
In Germany, where no such subject
is ever allowed to escape investigation,
DIR. Abels has recently made some i'm
portant observations on the thermal
properties of snow He has found that
the looser the snow the greater its pow
or to protect the ground beneath from
the effects Of external changes Of tenn
perature
Snow generally offers about four
times as much resistance to such changes
as a sheet Of ice Of tho same thickness
offers. When snow becomes closely
packed, therefore, it is less effective as
protection to plant life than when it
lies loosely upon the surface.
Othor experiments show that, while
blanket Of snow protects tho ground be-
meath from the chilling effects of the
winter atmosphere, yet the surface Of
the snow itself, especially in clear
weather, is colder than the air, SO that
snow tends to lower tho temperature Of
the atmosphere, and where bread areas
Of country or extensive mountain slopes
are covered by it important climatic

The fact is generally known that ac-
cording to the experiments Of the late
Professor Heinrich Hertz at Bonn, the
velocity with which electricity is prop.
agated is nearly identical with the ve-
locity of light. The identity may be per-
feet, but experiments have as yet failed
to prove it so.
In recent communication to the
French Academy Of Sciences, M. Mas
cart has shown that the mean velocity
of electricity, as deduced from expert
ments, is 1873, ls5 miles per second.
This is about per cent greater than
the velocity Of light, which is 1856, 800
miles per second.
1t is believed that if light and cleo
tricity do move with exactly the same
speed the velocity ascribed to light more
closely represents that speed than the
velocity ascribed to electricity, because
the experiments are most satisfactory
and probably more accurate in the case
Of light. Companion.

MOCkERIES OF JUSTICE.
Gross Inequalities and Severe Punishin ent,
In the Courts of Iondon

III tio SOurts OF London.
For years Mr. Labouchere has been
denouncing in his paper the gross ine-
qualities in the punishments meted out
by different judges and magistrates for
practically identical offonses, and the
daily press constantly emphasize his de-
nunciations by their reports of cases.
Two monstrous mockeries of Justice
which have occurred within the last
week or two appear to have at length
moved the lord chancellor to some sort
of action. A leading criminal Judge
sentenced q man to IA years penal serv-
itude, while in an adjoining court an
other man got only three years for
crimes that are practically identical.
AT Bristol workless laborer with q
starving wife and children altered q pa.
rochial relief ticket SO that instead of q
half days charity ration he obtained a
full days allowance, which gave NOR
sci Of food to each member Of his fami-
ly. For this terrible crime the poor
wretch was sentenced to 10 months inn
prisonment at hard labor. These partic-
ular cases quiokened the lord chancel-
lor's interest in the general subject, and
now it is announced that he is about to
appoint commission of judges, leading
solicitors and barristers engaged in GRIM
inal law to investigate and report what
alteration in the laws or procedure is
desirable. London Letter.
