A NEW NATIONAL GAME.



Ex-Probate Judge W. T. Buckner of
this city has invented and copyrighted
| a new game of cards. The cards mus
be seen to be appreciated. me gold
silver and copper dirks are printed on
them and each card bears an assertion
| with reference to its quality and CLAN
on the lower margin. There are thirty
six cards which are divided into six
classes. There are six cards, number
ed from one TO six in each class, all
cards of a class having the same SYM
boil. Each class of cards represents a
financial theory, viz: Bimetallism,
gold standard, silver basis, copper bot
tom, greenback and trimetalIism. Any
number OF persons from two TO six may
play.
Shuttle and deal the cards one at a
time until all are dealt. but when only
two persons are playing il is better TO
use but four classes of the cards
The first player to the left of the
dealer lays card on the table face
downward, and calls on the player to
his left for anumber, which he must
hand over face downward and take up
the card offered. The next player to
the left then lays a card on the table
face downward and calls on the one
TO his left for a number, and SO on
around the table.
If the player called on has not a card
OF the numDe called, or II ne mas the
number, but only in a class of which
he has in his hand. not less than four
cards, he can pass, and the next player
10 the left must furnish the number
and take up the card offered, or pass
for the same reason as the former.
The first player to get class, wins
the game, and according to the class he
gets, is either a gold bug, a silverite. a
bimetalliSt, a cOpperite. a greenbacker
or a tri-metallist. The last line on the
sixth card of the class the name of the
advocate.
Players can stipulate if they desire
that when a game is won, the one hav-
ing the least number of cards of the
class he was playing for. shall deliver
a short address on that particular kind
of money.
1t is usual TO play for the class of
which you have the greatest number
of cards, though each one may play
for any class he may desire.
To tell ones financial theory, you
place all the cards face down in six
piles with all corresponding numbers
together. viz: All ones in one pile, all
tWOs in another, and so on. Have the
person draw a card from each pile, then
you turn the six cards drawn, face up,
place them in their order and read the
bottom line on each card from one to
six The combna tons make several
thousand variations.

WILL MAKE BETTER ST C.
jackson Says They viii Spend More Money
for labor and Less for Lumber

City Engineer Jackson Is going to make
some radical changes in the manner OF
street work that is believed will soon
be noticeable in the improved condition
of the streets
Mr.. Jackson put his ideas in the small
lest possible compass when he said
yesterday: We have spent too much
money for lumber and too little for
street labor"
ON some of the streets there are oak
crossings at every block. These oak
crossings are always above the street
grade so that a person driving at r
moderate gait Is being continuously
thrown into the air unless the horse
drawing a carriage is brought nearly
TO standstill at every one of these
crossings.
Then when the streets become wet
and muddy it is almost Impossible for a
team of horses TO draw a loaded wagon
across these crossings. Then the gut
tiers al the cross streets are covered
with oak boads and they are just like
the crossings nuisance.
The city engineers idea is to have
fewer oak crossings and use cinders
instead. The cinder crossings will be
laid To depth OF six or eight inches
and rolled or pounded solid to a level
with the grade Of the street. and at all
the street crossings the cutters with
oak boards boxes will be put in and
covered with dirt. thus maintaining
the grade at street crossings the same
as anywhere else.
Mr.. Jackson says many Of the old
foot crossings warped by the sun will
be torn ont instead Of being repaired
this summer ard If the people will be
patient for a time he will show them
better streets at less expense 10 the tax
payers than We now have

Attorney John u. Davis applied to
Judge Reed for an injunction restrain
ing Mat and Theresa Heimerman and
two or three others from selling liquor

granted.
The injunction was based on the
petition of the Catholic priest of St
Marks and seventy of his parishioners
They alleged that the places were
nuisance, that they interfered with and
disturbed divine worship and made
other allegations of a similar charac-

Gratis are again asked to form a fusion
| with the Pops.
A meeting of the grand sachams is to
be held soon TO consider and act upon
the proposition made. Day before yes
terday the men who have the Populist
vote of the county in their vest pocket
went 10 the leaders who have the DEM
ocratic party wrapped up in a cigar
cite paper. as the saying goes. and with
great solemnity said: I'VE are here TO
make proposition to you; we repre-
sent the Peoples party OF this county,
and if you agree not TO hold a conven-
ton or nominate ticket. but vote
solidly for our ticket we Will pledge
ourselves TO nominate two men of your
party, viz. Thomas Cartwright for coun
ty treasurer and Harry Stewart for
either county clerk of register of deeds"
The reply of the Democrats was that
they would consult their party leaders
about il. The result Will be that four
or five leading Democrats will assem-
BILE and consider the matter
THE Pops are very keen for trade"
said "a leading Democrat yesterday.
They are getting hungry again and
want another chance at the public
crib. They are mistaken. however. il
they think We are going TO sell out so
cheap as they think we will. They can't
buy us for two offices. II we are going
TO trade with them at all we must get
better deal than that In the first
place We want a judge of the district
court in the event of certain contingent
cies and there will be no trade II that
Office is not given 10 the Democrats.
We want Jim Comfy for judge. They
can't run any Pop judge onto the bench
with our consent. That is a matter
that is too serious altogether. My inn
preston is that We could not elect a
fusion ticket anyway. IL il is possible
a desperate fight would have TO be
made and we can't afford 10 make that
fight over small stakes.
''Who made the propositions"
"Oh. the same old gang. We don't
like them anyway. They have not
treated us square in the past and when
after our combined ticket was defeated.
principally on account of a lack of con-
fidence in these same fellows, they
howled treachery and applied all kinds
of epithets to us. We could better treat
with new men than these broken down
old POLITICAL stiffs, but IL seems they
still control the Populist party"
That there will be fight against
fusion by the strongest wing Of the
Democratic party there Is no doubt.
The brains and shrewdness of the De-
mocracy of this county is now around
the government building. II is thought.
and they will not be likely 10 give as
sent to those who are eternaily de-
rouncing Cleveland. They will try
hard to prevent the Democrats from
declaring in favor of free silver and on
the other hand they will probably work
in a single gold standard plank in their
platform. The Populists OF course.
will denounce the single gold standard
idea and with two opposing platforms
for a combination il would he hard, II
not utterly impossible, to elect ticket.
1t is to obviate this condition that the
Populists suggested that no Demo-
cratic convention be called.

First and Worst.

The fret snow of the season fell Mo- .
day, that is if the wet and greasy
slush that was the result can be called
snow. About an inch of slop remains
to remind US of the fact that Winter is
folding his shin bones for comforta-
BILE seat in the lap of Autumn. Winter
is built that way running his cold race
by series of laps, and he don't get off
the lap of Autumn until he thinks he
has made q mash on ever gentle
Spring. Disagreeable as it is under
foot. the weather is coming as near to
suiting everybody as it could. The
slush suits the farmer because it puts
the ground in good condition, starts
the fall grain anG takes the place OF
rain. 1t suits the stockmeu, because
it is reasonably warm, starts the grass
and permits his stock to get along with
very little aid in the shape of hay. 1t
suits the merchant and the business
men, because whatever is OF benefit to
the farmer and stockmen benefits
them. So, taken all in all, however
nasty it may be. everybody is happy,

Herr Waltersdorf, the German man
ager and actor, one Sunday in the wiu-
ter left the Stadt theater and drove to
his little playhouse, "Auf den Hausen,'
outside the town. The play announced
on the bills was "Kabale and Liebc."
The audience consisted of one solitary
person. Nevertheless, Waltersdorf ill.,
sisted on beginning the play, to the cha-
grin of his company who expected
that. the empty playhouse meant a
holiday for the actors. They tool the
widest liberty with the text, aad
scarcely word reached the audience.
Thereupon the solitary audience stood
up and demanded that the play should
be duly rendered according to the piny-
bill. ARREST the public!" said the grim
manager to policeman, who lurkcd be-
hind one of the pillars. The off, er
seized the audience, saying: 81 ,rrest
You for disturbing the course of pub
lie entertainment" The whole public
was then marched off to the watch
house, and the play came to an eud.

A Pinched Neiehbor

Our neighbors over in Klickitat
county are truly in a bad way finan-
cially They have no money for juror 6
or witnesses, no money for feeding
prisoners in Jail, none for carrying on
their courts or for any public business.
Individually things are different and
the people are fairly prosperous. AS
one rides through the magnificent
Klickitat valley, and sees the grain
fields extending for miles in every di.
rection, the conclusion is irresistably
forced on one, that the county affairs
must have been badly managed i"deed,
to saddle an enormous debt on the
county. and to leave it in condition of
helplessness. Either this is true or
there must be something superlatively
rotten in the laws Of the state.

LEE GIFTS CRIME.
A Brief Statement of the Case As Heard
in Court.

in Court.
Lee Gitt was convicted OF murder in
the second degree, the verdict of the
jury being rendered at late hour Sat
urday night. The facts in the case as
gathered from the evidence adduced at
the trial are about as follows:
Lee Gitt, the. Chinaman who was
found guilty of murder in the second
degree by the jury Saturday, has re-
sided in the city for a number of years.
and has been employed as cook in the
Skibbe hotel. The murder was COM
mitted soon after midnight on Aug.
10Th. and Lock Woo, the victim died
| about o'clock the next morning.
There was testimony of quarrel, and
| crowd of Cinnamon seen running
| across the street from the south side,
as though they were pursuing the man
| who was killed. Screams were then
heard proceeding from the wash house
in the old Snyder building. and two or
three Cinnamon were seen to run away
from the building, apparently those
who had pursued Lock Woo from the
| opposite side of the street. The first
person who arrived on the scene found
Lock Woo bleeding profusely from a
wound in the left side, and holding a
knife in his left hand as though he had
just pulled it out of the wound. This
fa ilanfiGnd
Gitt had had in his possession for a
long time, and witnesses testified to
the marks of blood on it when found
near Lock Woo on the morning of the
homicide.
Lee Gitt was arrested soon after the
tragedy in an outbuilding used as an
ice house in connection with the Skibbe
hotel, and on being brought befol Q
Lock Woo was recognized by him as
the man who inflicted the fatal staf.
This was testified to by several wit
nesses, and Lock Woo recognized the
fact that he was about to die. An
other accomplice, who indicated to the
officers while under arrest that Lee
Gitt killed him Lock Wool, and tina,
he pulled him (Lee Gitt) off, was on
the witness stand; but he evaded
the questions put to him by
the counsel for the state, and his evil
dence was only brought out by i'm.
peachment and bringing other W t.
nesses on the stand to whom he told diff
ferent versions of the affair. AS far
as one can draw conc usion from tn,
facts in the case the trouble seems to
have originated from the animosity
between different Chinese companies,
as an attorney from Portland was
hired TO aid the prosecution, and it is
evident that the attorneys for the de-
tense were paid by Chinese gold. We
have been informed that funds even
came, from San Francisco to fee the at
torneys in this case, and it is well
known that some of these Chinese
companies are very wealthy.
