\ Bill to Prevent AduIteration.
A Tragedy Narrowly Avoided.

A citizen of Rock Island came very
nearly being annihilated in Daven-
port yesterday at the hands of an
outraged husband from Moline. The
Rock Islander was severely trounced
by the Moline man last summer on
the suspicion that the assaulted
had invaded the sanctity of his
home. A fine ended the matter at
the time. but it seems the Moline
man has kept his eyes open and yes
terday, the report comes from Mo-
line, he learned that his wife had
gone to Davenport with the Rock
Islander. and he pursued. He over
hauled the guilty pair on that side,
and but for interference a tragedy
would have occurred-and it is said
the trouble is not over vet.

CHICAGO, Nov, 5.-The Chicago stool

establishing mining stock department
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1895-11-06

Messrs. Gage and Thompson favored
listing the mining stocks under certain
restrictions. Mr.. Adsit, the minority
member of the committee, reported
against the proposition. Adsit's report
was adopted by the governing committee
by vote of 8 to s.. There will un-
doubtedly be an immediate attempt at
organizing purely mining exchange.
There is no doubt that Chicago is going
to be given an opportunity to trade in
mining securities, ard if it is not on the
stock exchange, it will be on new ex-
change organized for that purpose. The
action of the governing committee, how
ever, does not define the position of the
stock exchange, finally, and an attempt
will be made to list particular stocks.
The action, up to the present time has
been general, and with all conservative
safeguards possible the exchange may
recede from its position and list some
stocks upon individual application.

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener-
ally needed in Spring, when the languid
exeausted feeling prevails, when liver
is torpid and sluggish and the need of a
tonic and alternate is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers.
No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Consti-
patton, Dizziness yield to Electric Bit
ters. Only fifty cents per bottle at

1t Is Likely to Encounter Many Diff
ficulties.
New YORK, Nov. 5.-A dispatch to the
Herald, from Paris, says:
The new radical ministry made its
debut in the chamber today. 1t had a
success with the extreme left, but the
center and conservatives seemed made
of marble, not paudit, not movement
proceeded from them. NJ. Bourgeolse
was quite alive to the effect he produced.
He began the reading of his declaration
of policy in very self-confident manner
but presently his voice began to falter.
No incident of any Importance took
place and the chamber adjourned to
Thursday.
The prophecies made as to the dura-
tion of the new ministry continue unfav-
orable. It is clear that NJ. Bourgeolse
has only 100 supporters in the chamber I;
hence there are nearly 4O0 votes against
him. His first difficulty will be the
strike at Carmagh, which has now lasted
six months, and which the government
wants settled by arbitration. The work
men are willing to adopt this course,
but if their employees refuse, the situa-
tion will become one of inextricable diff.
fculty, for the present chamber will
never vote for a measure directed
against the interests of employers.

RELIGIOUS READING.
SENEN RRLlG.OCS EOOkS.

The seven bibles" of the world are tho
Koran of the Mohammedan. the Tri Pitikes
of the Buddhists, the Five Kings OF the
Chinese, the Three Vedas Of the Hindoos, the
Hendavesta of tho Persians. the Eddas OF the
Scandinavians and tho Scriptures OF the
Christian. The Koran is the most recent OF
all, dating from about tho seventh century
after Christ. 1t is a compound OF quotations
from both the Old and New Tcstnments and
from the Talmud. The tri Pitikes contain
sublime morals and pure aspirations. Their
author lived and died in tho sixth century be-
fore Christ. The sacred writings OF the
Chinese are called tho Five Kings, the word
"llings' meaning web Of cloth. From this it Is
presumed they were originally written On five
rolls Of cloth. They contain wise sayings from
the sages on the duties OF life, but they can
not to he traced further back than the elev-
enth century before our era. The Vedas are
the most ancient books in the language OF the
Hindoos, but they do not, according to late
commentators. antedate the twelfth century
before the Christian era. The Zendaresta OF
the Persians, next to our Bible, Is reckoned
among scholars as being the greatest and
most learned of the sacred writings. Zorro
aster whose sayings it contains, lived and
worked In the twelfth century before Christ.
Moses lived and wrote the Pentateuch fifteen
hundred years before the birth OF Christ;

three hundred years older than the most
ancient of other sacred writings. The Eddas.

6EEKINi A RETTER EARTH.

Do not be afraid Of losing heaven in seek
ing better earth. Be sure that, down to
the last and pettiest detail all that concerns
better world is the direct concern of Christ.
Where are you to begin? Begin where you
are. Make that one corner, room, house,
office rs like heaven rs you can. Begin with
the paper on the walls, make that beautiful;
with the air keep 1t fresh; with the very
drains. make them sweet: with the furniture
sec that it be honest. Abolish whatsoever
worketb abomination-in food, in drink, in
luxury, in books, in art: whatsoever maketh
q lie-in conversation, in social intercourse,
in correspondence in domestic Ifs. This done
you have arranged for heaven but you have
not got it. Heaven lies within, in kindness,
in faith, in humbleness, in unsel1lshness, in
love, in service. To get these In, get Christ
in. Teach all in the house about Christ
what he did and what he said, and how he
lived and how he died, and how he dwells In
them. and how he makes all one. Teach 1t
not as a doctrine, but as discovery, as your
own discovery. Live your own discovery.
Then pass out into the city. Do all to it that
you have done Mt your home. Beautify it,
ventilate it, drain it. Let nothing enter 1t
that it can defle the streets, the newspaper
offices. the book sellers counters; nothing
that maketh lie in its warehouses; its manu-
vertisements. Educate 1t, amuse it, church
1t. Christianize capital, dignity labor. Join
councils and committees. Provide for the
poor, the sick, and the widow. SO will you
will serve the city.-Drummond.

WHEN MEN WE'RE HONEST.

1T one time in the Highland. of Scotland
to ask for q receipt or promissory note was
considered an insult, and such thing as
breach of contract was rarely met with, 80
strictly did the people regard their honor.
When other modes of doing business were
gradually introduced, the people resented
such innovations, as in case OF Il farmer who
had been to the Lowlands and there re-
quired worldlywisdom.
On coming once more to his native place
he needed some money. and requested loan
from 4 gentleman in the neighborhood. The
latter, Mr.. Stewart complied and counted out
the gold, when the farmer Immediately

The orange tree IS a ragged little
shrub that does not average more
than five or six feet in height. 1t does
not grow straight, as a properly be-
haved tree is supposed to do, but is
curved everywhere. It would be very
difficult to find two consecutive inches
in the entire tree whose line of direc-
ton is the same. Even the branches
grow in epiral forms, SO that the
width of the tree is often as great as
the height. There is generous sup
ply of thorns hidden under the leaves,
and they are thorns that mean busi-
ness. They are slender, tough, and
long, and are located in all sorts of
unexpected places. The leaves are
feshy, long, and narrow and OF dark
green color. They resemble lemon
leef more than an orange leaf. The
flowers come out in June and July,
and are very similar in appearance
and odor to the ordinary orange bios

GENERAL SCOTT AND TEMPERANCE.

General Scott was in command at Rock

and, after various injunctions in his order
as to sobriety and cleanliness. he added this
curious paragraph, which was recently print
ed In the Magazine of American History:

his strength will permit. to dig grave at a
suitable burying place, large enough for his
own reception, as such grave cannot fail soon
to be wanted for the drunken man himself or

An Expensive Cleaning Up.

1t is estimated that it costs about
twelve thousand dollars to dock, clean,
paint and dry n steel cruiser. AS this
process must be gone through with
every four or FIVE months, it IS not
necessary to go very deeply into fig
ures to discover that warshlps are
rather expensive luxuries. So great
is this item that experiments OF all
sorts have been tried, in the hope of
finding something to keep away the
barnacles that cause most OF the dam
age. The latest idea is that Of electro
plating the entire hull of the iron.
plated or steel ship. This is done by
means of curved boxes fitting the vari-
.ous parts of the hull. These boxes
are secured to the hull and made
watertight by means of rubber pack
ing. The electro-plating fluid and the
necessary batteries are applied to the
carefully cleaned surface of the hull,
and in a period of three days time
there is firm and continuous plating
of copper over the metal. This costs
. trihe less than eight thousand dol
lars, and is said to last three years at
least, and if the work is we'll done and
with the very choicest materials, much
longer. This process is certainly
great deal cheaper than the tri-yearly
cleaning and scraping, and will in all
probability be adopted by the Gov
ernment.-.New York Ledger.
