complimentary newspapers notices
that are purely personal to its editor,
although it appreciates them greatly.
But this newspaper is an lola enter

sumo that the people of lola and of
Allen county will be interested in
reading the good words that are said
about it by other newspapers in the
State. Hence, with many thanks for
the friendly good will that prompted
them, we quote to-day some of the
very pleasant comments that have
been made upon our recent acquisit-
ions.

EDUCATED, BUT A VAGABOND,
queer Old Character in Mil,yauISee
Goes to His Grave

queer Old Chara cter in milwaukee,
Goes to His Grave.
August Steinhauser one of the most
unique characters in the city, is dead
after almost lifetime spent as a
tramp and county or city charge. He
passed away at the county hospital.
Three years ago a reporter gave him
a quarter to buy something to eat
and the old fellow in turn gave it to a
boy who picked up his hat when it
had blown away. Steinhauser was
past seventy-fve years of age, a tramp
and philosopher. 10 a reporter he
SAID: Il am tramp, sir, from pref
erence. l was born a scientist rather
than mercantile man, and I have no
use for money, sir" The old man was
diamond in rough setting. He was.
as he said, a physical and not q
moral tramp" He was a bohemian
run to waste. Years of exposure and
coplous ibations gave him a certain
ramDllng way of talking that made it
hard to learn fully what he had been.
yet MS mind was clear and his Ian
guage choice. He was a German count
and received good education and
was Tor a time a member of the ia
nous lanciers known in Germany as
| Uhlans. He came to AmericE in 1851,
after the revolution, along with Franz
Sigel, followed Journalism in New
York and at Appleton. In appearance
the old man was a cross between Rim
Van Wrinkle and Diogenes of old. and
was quite as much Of a philosopher.
He was a character that the local
sketch artists found a great deal Of
amusement with and they bought beer
for him by the gallon to hear him tank
While they stole sketches OF his UNIQUE
figure in various postures. q
The past few years Steinhauser has
spent principally in the poorhouse,
coming to the city at intervals to have
spree. ee.-MilWaukee Sentinel. Z

JUST BEYOND THE DOOR.

On the threshold baby stands
Holding out her little hands
10 the great world just beyond,
p. Just beyond the door.
An, that door! It shut her in
From the pleasures she would win,
And within her baby heart
She is saying, DER and DER,
That some day she'll ope it wide
And step forth to see in pride
That great world she longs to see
More and more.
Ah! my baby, in your eyes
can see the longing rise
That I in my heart have seen
Once before.
Only this: To step outside,
Join the hurrying human tide
That goes marching daily by,
Just beyond the door.
May you find it just as grand
When with them you really stand
AS you think it is, my child,
Looking Ger.
May you never wish to be
Just little child, to see,
Not to do; just to gaze with longing
eyes
Just beyond the door.

AMERICAN PRUNES,
immense Orchards Planted in the
+S%3z Pacific States

immense Orchards Planted in tho
GSS$ Pacific States -
The county of Yamhill has trees set
outsand two years old that should pro-
duce 100000 pounds for commerce
IN three years from now. AS many
trees are planted in Marion, more than
as many in the Umpqua region, and.
through Western Oregon nearly in the
same proportion; SO that by the year
1898 with fair crops, these Western
valleys may turn off a total of 2OOOO,-
OOO#pounds of prunes, while Clark:
county, Wash, will turn off more than
any. valley county of Oregon at that
time: \ reasonable calculation Of pro-
ductlon based on acreage of land
planted to prunes will show that by
1873 the Pacific Northwest will turn.
of q total of 40,0OO,O0O, and by the
emo. OF a century an av>rage yield
should be 50,000,000 pounds, fully as
much as California has ever produced
IN single year. To give compre-
henslve idea Of the extent of this in
dustry let us survey the field in all it's
extent
Enter the state from the south, and
prune orchards are in sight from the
summit of the Siskiyous, and spread
through Rogue river valley; they line
the waters of the Umpqua and the
hill ranges and valley reaches of the
broader Willamette in all it's length
and breadth. Ascend the Columbia,
and they are on the shores along the
lower river, find place on the noun
tain sides, through Hood river valley
and the region around the Dalles. Fol
low the rivers to their sources in
Idaho, and even Montana. Wherever
you go by rail or water prune Or
chards are here and there as you
traverse Western Washington; or,
crossing the Cascades, traverse the
inland empire on all the railroads that
develop that grand region. Montana,
Idaho and Utah are said to furnish
good fruit, and prunes are soon to be
as staple product as wheat, and we
hope far more 1eliable. II all the land
planted will bear full crops no doubt
the result will be over-production.
California alone may produce 150,-
100000 pounds per annum when all
her prune trees bear, but it has never
happened that they have borne full
crops. In 1893 the output of that state
was 50,O00,O00, and it was supposed
the product OF 1894 would greatly ex-
ceed that; but the yield fell to 100000
600 pounds because of drouth and 9TH
er causes in the spring of last year.
A very intelligent California prune
grower who was lately here, whose
orchards are in the foothills near
Santa Cruz, assured me that much
land is planted to prunes in his state
that lis not favorab BILE to their success.
For instance, on the west side Of the
Santa Clara valleyI whence three
fourfhs of the prune crop of the state

GladStOne'S DRuShter.

Miss Helen Gladstone, the daughter
and companion Of the "Grand Old
Man, is tall, stately woman of 43.
The genius of her father seems to
shine through her deep earnest eyes,
For a number Of years she has been
vice-principal Of the Newman college
for women at Cambridge. Notwith-
standing her work for and her intense
belief in the higher education Of wom-
en- Miss Gladstone has great dislike
to the masculine girl. She believes
that the great mission of woman is to
be womanly, and that college life has
no influence in robbing women of their
chief charm. This gifted daughtell
not only comedies with her fathers
political views but like him is a be-
lever in the virtues Of hardy exercise.
1t is not on record that she ever felled
tree, but she is an indefatigable
walker and climber and endeayors to
have her college girls follow her exam

The Suns Rays Fired the Gun.
The result of his observation and de-
duction was very curious. The rays
of the sun had streamed in at the win
dow of the apartment in which the
man had encountered his end, and had
been concentrated directly upon the
explosive chamber of the gun, by
which means sufficient heat had been
engendered to warm the cap and pow
der, and cause discharge. The gun
having been quite inadvertently placed
in such way as to point to the rnl-
fortunate man, he received the bullet
while he lay placidly sleeping, no
doubt meeting with instant DEATH

COFFIN, EUT NO CORPSE.

After Ceremonies and Burial 1t Was
Discovered the Body Was in Bed.
There could hardly be a more unique
burial story than the account of an in
cident~at Capdenac France, recently.
A boy ten years of age had died at
that little village, and after the serv-
ices at the house the coffin was taken
in solemn state to the church, where a
further religious ceremony was held
After this the procession of mourners
Wended their way to the cemetery,
where the interment took place with
due forms.
AS the parents of the child returned
to their home, where all this time the
other children had been left in charge
Of an elderly relative, the youngest
came running out of the house, and,
without a trace of excitement in his
tone, in his natural conversational
voice, said:
Papa, have just seen Felix" This
was the name of the boy who had
died and who had just been buried in
the little cemetery, that lay over the
hill.
"Be still! Be still!' sharply an
sWered the father, the words of the
child bringing up a guSh of grief and
a flow Of remembrance over the boy
he had just lost.
The youngster looked up wondering
ly at the agitated man. "I assure you,
papa, that I have just seen him, and
if you will follow me 1 will show him
to you; he is in the bedroom''
Wondering, heSitating and half
frightened at the calm assurance of
the child and his strange words, con-
vinced that there was some ghostly
visitant about the house, and yet alto
gether disbelieving this, the man put
his hand into that of the child and
went with him. The boy pushed open
the door of the SMALL, darkened Sleep
ing room, wherein the dead son had
so recently lain. 1t was no ghost, but
what he saw the father could scarcely
believe, and he had to go over to the
bed himself before the evidence of his
eyes could convince him. There on the
bed lay the body exactly as it had
been placed some hours before. In
the excitement of the funeral cere-
mony they had forgotten to place it
In the coffin.-New York World.

QUEEREST OF ACCIDENTS,
AOw the Sun Fired OFF Gun and
Killed a Man,

The story runs that a man was
found lying dead upon a couch, his
life having been destroyed by a bull
let discharged from a gun lying near.
The circumstances Of the matter posi-
lively proved that the case could not
have been one of suicide, and, there
fore, the only alternative which could
be reasonably suggested was that he
had been murdered. An acquaintance
was charged with the crime, but alb
solute proof Of guilt was not forth
coming. One Of the parties engaged
in the case was so far interested in
the peculiar facts of the death as to
seek a different solution to the affair
than that accepted by popular belief,
