Harry, the eldest son Of Robert John

and painful accident at the William K
Smith Grammar school, Tuesday. While
playing in the yard lie was hit in the eye
by q bean or shot from an elastic sling In

at first that he would lose the sight of the

that it hit tho white of the eye and the

His characteristics Brought to Mind by a
Mining Deal.
The dispatches the other day men,
toned the sale of a lot of placer
ground in Pine Nut, mining district
in Douglas county, Nevada, about 80
miles south OF Virginia City. One of
the principal owners of the land sold
was A. c. Pratt-a printer, politician,
telegraph operator, miner, lawyer, fid-
dler, deputy secretary of state and
grand aggregation of odds and ends OF
information, We remember when
Pratt. first arrived in the little town of
Genoa, the county seat Of Douglas
county, and issued the first copy of the
Genoa Journal, a four-page five-column
weekly, with its subscription price
fixed at the modest sum of 81 per year.
Pratt wrote the articles, stuck the
type, did the press work, played poker
of nights and won. In q short time,
he began to practice law in the justice
courts, running up against the leading
attorney in the town Ia gentleman
named Virgin, who had been on the
bench and who was really fine law

the assistance of the jury. Indeed, he
came to be regular wet blanket to
Virgin, being in some sunaccountable
way against him on every proposition

came up. The elections coming on in

NOTE AND COMMENT.
In "Note and Comment the Oregonian
Thus Dishes Up Our AlVah.


In Mote and Comment the Oregonian
Thus Dishes Up Our Alvah.
In view of the fact that Alvah w.
Patterson, managing editor of the
Heppner Gazette. "has been selected
as the orator at the next session of the
knights of Pythias grand LODGE" it is
fitting that the world at large should
be apprised of that gentleman's accom-
plishments, the true character of
which has until now been hidden
under bushel, as it were, the bushel
being the ''Oregon Blue Book" From
its pages we quote: "Some one writ
ing lately of very charming woman
of society, said she had the head of
one of Titian's saints and the soul of
one of Maupassant's sinners. Alvah
Patterson, of Heppner, is neither a
saint nor sinner, but the individual,
or collection of individuals that take
his theological-student look, and quiet,
almost gentle demeanor for the taber-
nacle of lamb of innocence are de-
cidedly distant from the exact facts in
the premises. Patterson is a great
hearted, honorable young man, with
all that this implies. He is wide
awake business citizen, acute in the
ways of the world, but generous, char
liable and jolly withal. His nature is
more like that of deep, strong stream
than that of one man out of a thou
sand. He doesn't carry his heart on
his sleeves for davis to peck at, nor
does his good humor manifest itself in
ebullitions of speech, gesticulation or
laughter"

The County Must Paw.

Wednesday, says the Oregonian,
Judge Sbattuck decided case of Jus
tice Geisler against the county OF
Multnomah, involving the payment OF
certain fees. in favor of the plaintiff.
The court held that in holding a
prisoner to answer to the grand jury,
the justice should be allowed for max
ing each order fee of 35 cents. The
county court refused to allow 40
cents, or 10 cents per folio, for fling
and preparing each transcript for the
county. Judge Shattuck ruled that
this also must be paid. The case was
argued before Judge Shattuck by
George W. Hazen for the plaintiff and
J. B. Thompson for the defendant.
Justice Geisler will now prosecute a
suit which he has on file, to recover
fees disallowed by the county court,
amounting to about 81 900.

the fall Pratt bobbed up serenely for
the nomination for prosecuting attor-
ney, beating Virgin hands down and
prancing through the election an easy
winner. Shortly after this big dance
was given, and of course Judge Virgin
was invited. He arrived after the
dancing began, and as he entered the
door the first object that fell athwart
his vision was his old opponent, A. G.
Pratt, drawing the bow on the first
fiddle. Virgin was not profane man,
according to the standard of the coun-
try, but when he saw Pratt he dropped
a few remarks that he had not memo
rized from Watts hymns, and con-
cluded them with "The ID long
legged demurrer, he can fiddle too"

Kamr Corn.

The acreage of Kaffir corn in Kansas
this year is larger than ever before.
The drought of 1894 taught the farm
ers that they must prepare for adverse
seasons, and the fact that Kaffir corn
will stand a dry season when Indian
corn will dry up caused many fields to
be planted with it. The results have
been satisfactory. In some counties
of the state. nota bly, Montgomery, the
yield of the Kaffir corn has run as high
as sixty bushels to the acre, and thirty
or forty bushels to the acre is consid-
cred very ordinary yield. AS a
bushel of this corn will go as far in
fattening cattle and hogs as bushel
of the Indian corn, it can readily be
seen that a great point has been gained
in its successful production.

To Reform Their Leaders.

1t seems that the Jackson county
populists, having failed in their efforts
to reform the county, are now going to
undertrke to reform their leaders.
The excitement among the populist
brethren in the county over the action
of their principal boss, County Clerk
Jacobs, in voting to reduce the rail-
road assessment from SIC, 900 to $4,000
per mile continues, and has resulted
in the calling OF meeting Of the
county central committee by Chairman
Frank Williams, to meet at Medford
next Saturday. to take cognizance of
this trampling upon the creed of the
party. 1t is expected that a mass
meeting to denounce Mr.. Jacobs act
ions will follow the meeting OF the
county central committee.

A Fine DISPLAY,

No better evidence of the prolific
soil and wonderfel climate of Wasco
county can be found than the display
of fruit and vegetables visible at the
grocery stores. At j. B. Crossen g
this morning we noticed fine display
OF peaches, seventy boxes of which
were being prepared for shipment to
Portland. Besides these there were
grapes, as fine as ever ripened beneath
Italian skies, apples in innumerable
varieties. crates of muskmelons, boxes
of great red tomatoes, cucumbers and
garden stuff in endless quantities, and
in fact everything that midsummer
and early fall furnishes elsewhere.
