The Woody APhis ms a Peace Dis.
While it is very generally acknowl-
edged that the woody aphis is a scourge
to the orchard, it has never been re-
garded as serious menace to the
temper of mankind, and had not some
of our citizens had ocular demonstra.
ton that such was its tendency and
seen four stalwart citizens engaged in
the very undignified occupation of
Furnishing each other, it would scarcely
be believed although vouched for by a
journal whose veracity is established
as is that of the STANDARD.
1t seems that Capt. Wiley and
Councilman Lammon met Saturday
afternoon in front OF the Granger
block and had friendly little scrap
regarding this disturber of the apple
trees in their respective orchards,
which unfortunately for the temper of
these gentlemen occupied positions
adjacent to each other. This con-
troversy seemed at times likewise to
be . dispute over the possession of a
cane, and at others as to who could
use the most endearing terms in ex-
pressing their admiration of each
other.
Had they been left alone, doubtless
all would have been well. But there
is in every community q peace-maker
who must, of necessity. have q finger
in every pie that is compounded, and
it is not, therefore, surprising that
under such circumstances there should
be at times burnt fingers, especially
when the pie has been baked in a hot
oven. Just such q pesce-maker ap-
peared, at this inauspicious moment,
in the person of Contractor Sullivan,
who, although he bears the same

is by no means belligerent in his man.
ners. In this instance, he simply de-
sired to set the dispute regarding the
woody aphis straight; to "pour oil" as
it we're, upon the troubled waters
which threatened to engulf the friend
ship of two very estimable and much
respected citizens. However good his
intentions may have been, they were
mistrusted by the belligerents, neither
of whom knew which side he was on,
if on either side, and this doubt seems
to have been shared by that ancient
warrior Of the sanguinary calling on
the opposite side of the street, Mar
ketmsn Giles, who never can remain
idle in times of war, and whose mar.
tial spirit is as speedily aroused by the
sounds of fray as the chargers ears
at the notes of the bugle.
No sooner, therefore, had Sullivan
entered the list than Giles concluded
it was time for him to take hand, 80

" The Pay Train.0

Theater-goers were reminded of
olden times, last evening, in witness
ing the rendition of sensational rail-
road play. in which mechanical and
scenic effects constitute a potent aux
Hilary for playing upon the emotional
side OF human nature. Although the
company was handicapped by arriving
so late that it was only after superhu.
man exertions that the elaborate stage
settings were placed, the play was rem
dered complete and in full, just as it is
presented in the larger cities.
The play has the advantage OF de-
cided plot, which is developed in a
very natural although exciting CONT
nuity OF events. In this respect it is
delightful departure from the modern
comedy, which often possesses only
the bare shred of a story upon which
to pin few specialties. The scene in
which q full-sized locomotive passes
across the stage, with bell ringing,
steam putting and Sizing and sparks
flying, is the perfection Of mimic real
ism, and the holding up" of the pas
senger coach recalls the venturesome
exploits of the knights OF the road we
frequently read about in the daily
press.
The play is not, however, all Of the
sensational order. There is a sweet
story OF filial love, OF manly principle
and OF final retribution. EMBODIED and
glistening, like diamonds in a gold SET
ting, are the singing and dancing spe-
cialties OF Miss Tilton and Harry F.
Thomas. The song ~ Won't Do So
Any More" literally brought down the
house, the appreciation being mani.
tested by no less than five encOres.
Several members of this company
were here couple years ago with Alba
Haywood.
The route OF " Pay Train" is Seattle,
Vancouver, Victoria, Tacoma and
Portland.

The Olympian gives a very read

low The surface OF the ground. The
drying apparatus is a cylinder about
II feet in diameter, with eight-inch
walls. This cylinder extends to
heighth of both stories. At its base
is the furnance, and ON q revolving
shaft at intervals are arranged the
trays for holding the fruit that is
undergoing the process of drying.
These trays are triangular in shape,
and constitute the segments of circle
whose periphery describes the interior
circumference of the dryer. The
trays consist of fine-meshed wire on
wooden frames, and it holds 100 of these,
only so of which were ordered with
the dryer, but 80 large has been the
demand for its services that so more
have been ordered by telegraph. The
fruit is supplied from the top, thus
obviating the objection to the sys-
tenn of the old style of dryer that the
steam from constantly added sup.
plies was absorbed by the fruit above,
greatly retarding the process of dry
ing. The temperature inside the
cylinder is kept at 100 degrees and it
takes from 90 to 81 hours to perfect
the process, during which time a tray
load weighing % pounds is reduced to
eight pounds, two-thirds passing off
In evaporation.
After the fruit (Which now consists
OF prunes) has passed through the
dryer, it is placed in the "sweat bins"
where it remains 30 days, subject to
frequent stirring. Strange to say that
Notwithstanding the ordeal of high
temperature for "a hours in the dryer,
still more moisture passes off in the
sweat bin.
The dryer, when run at its full ca
pacity, will be able to " evaporate" 3
500 pounds of fruit in "a hours. There
has been no special preparation of the
fruit so far for the dryer, although
there is a I've process, which may be
used when conditions require it, for
cracking the skins and causing the
fruit to dry in less time.
The larger portion of the fruit so far
dried has consisted OF the Italian.
and some OF the German, Golden and
Silver prunes, the two latter, as might
be expected in these times when the

Ex.G0v. Waite and the Methodists,

A resolution was introduced in the
Methodist conference at Canton, Ohio,
censuring the populists for engaging
ex-Gov. Waite, Of Colorado, to deliver
a political speech. The governor ap-
peared. but he postponed his speech
and instead delivered mock sermon,
in which he condemned the money
power and criticized the ministers.
Among other things he said:
"Christ drove the money changers
out of the synagogue. Did any of you
ever hear of Methodist preacher
driving the money sharks out of his
foldW
He declared that the money power
hung about the neck OF the church as
mill stone.

Lewiston, February l2.-Hor. j. l.. Il.
Cobb of Lewiston, has fled q bill in equity
against Frank W. Dana, ESQ.,, and Horace
g. Little, Eos, and copies OF the same have
been served on Messrs. Dana and Little,
Mr.. Dana, at the time in question, was
president OF the Lewiston and Auburn
Horse Railroad company. while MI. Little
was, and still is, trea surer of the corpora
ton. Mr.. Cobb has been large stakeholder
in the Lewiston and Auburn Horse lta1lI DAD
company. and he claims in his bill In equity
that Mr.. Dana, while president, of the road.
and at the same time acting as hl3 agent, by
Misrepresentation and fraudulent methods,
secured possession and ownership of his 279
shares of capital stock in the aforesaid rail
road corporation. He asks that the court
decree that Mr.. Dana hold the stock III
trust for him and that Mr.. Dana be re
strained from disposing of the stock in
question and that Mr.. Little be restrained
from making transfer of such stock upoL
the books of the corporation.
The suit is practically against Mr.. Dana
and relates to business transaction between
them in the somewhat troublesome times OF
the winter of 1S94-the winter there was SO
much controversy about the operation of
the street railway.
The filing of the bill in equity gives Mr..
Cobb's version of an interesting bit OF in
sido'' history of events still fresh in the
minds of many Lewiston and Auburn
people.
