Oliver Hatch has wagered with
Frank Wentworth that his hens will
lay more eggs the coming summer
than Mr.. Wentworth's flock. Mr..
Hatch has six hens which recently
laid seven eggs in one day, Mr..
Hatch says. There is no little en-
cltement among local poultry fanciers
ever the contest, and the result,
which will.bc awaited with interest,
will be promptly announced IN TIE
ACE. Mr.. Hatch will of course IN
crease his flock (Mr. Wentworth has
seventeen ~hens) in order not to be
handicapped in point of numbers.
Mr.. Wentworth is very confident Of
capturing the stakes. No referee
has vet been named, but every one
may be sure that the affair will be
conducted in a sportsmanlike way.

Torrance of Mr.. Hatch's half Il dozen
capable layers, poultry men, when
interviewed on the subject, said that

Attempted jain Break.

Last night about Z 80 Lee Morehouse
made an attempt to escape from the
county Jail. Jaiier Fitzgerald opened
the door to pass in food for the prison
ers. As he did SO Moorehouse, who was
standing at the foot OF the steps leading
into the Jail, grasped the door with one
hand and the leg of the jailer with the
other. Some of the prisoners ran up
quickly, presumably to aid in the es-
cape. Jailer Fitzgerald braced himself
in the doorway, and making a big effort
succeeded in closing the door. This is
Moorehouse's second break for liberty,
both of which have been frustrated in
the same way. The prisoner was intro
duced to the feeling of an Oregon boot,
and probably nothing more will be
heard of him till the grand jury meets
next November. Moorehouse is con-
fined on the charge of larceny of horse
and saddle. He evidently prefers the
cold, hard world to the peaceful quiet
of a county iail.

the county to the city jail. He and Lee.

patching up could be done.

THE HoRR-HARvEY DEBATE.

Yesterdays Session Closed With an
Admission by the Gold Champion.
At the Horr-Harvey debate in Chicago
yesterday the free silver contestant made
point by showing that originally the silver
dollar was the unit of value In our curren-
cy. Daniel Webster said.' quoted Mr..
Harvey, gold and silver Is the money OF
the Constitution. Applause) The constitu-
tioral standard of value is established and
cannot be overturned. To overturn it would
shake the whole system. Gold and silver
at rates fixed by Congress constitute the
legal standard of value in this country and
neither Congress nor any state has author
pose of this" Oorg and continued APP
plaCse) II now hand Daniel Webster's
speech to Mr.. Horn.
Mr.'Horr.-"My friend Harvey thinks the
government of the United States originated
in 1892 1 had supposed this government
commenced on the Fourth day of July.
17T6.
'In 1857 Congress resolved that the stand
ard of the United States of America for
gold and silver, both together. should be
eleven parts fine and one part alloy. That
was precisely as they had decided before
They were organizing a new system of
money. something that had never been
known on the face Of the globe-making
money history. Is that trivial? Why. it
was the important act of that age. Why, it
was the basis of the entire action of f7a2"
Mr.. Harvey.-"The straits to which the
colonies were put between 1II6 and 1870,
when We as a government known as the
United States went into operation, were
those of expediency, but 10 permanent sys-
tenn was adopted. The American Congress.
at Its second session, enacted the law of
1892, and section 8 Of that act is the one
that settles this question by which only a
silver unit was provided for"
Mr.. Hcrr-'Now, all this talk of Mr.. Har-
vey's is of very little Importance as far as
am concei ned. What say is that when
they passed that law they intended to es-
tablish bimetallism In the United States.
We did not use the gold standard at all up
to 1884. The gold dollar was worth more
under the first mintage than the silver dol
lar; consequently we did not have-and he
is right about 1.-THE silver standard In
this country up to 1884"
Mr.. Harvey-"I want now to call at
tention to the fact that for several years
our side has claimed that oliver was fixed
in 1872 as the unit Of value, continuing to
1879 as strenuously denied by the other
side. And, now we come face to face with
the other side, where they dc not dare to
mislead; and in the first joint debated ques-
ton in this controversy they are forced by
silver was fixed as the unit OF value Qoud
applause) by the act of 1872, and remained
such to 1873"
Mr.. HORT want to say here the ques-
ton of the unit has not been disposed of
today / want to give a word as to why
they recoined the gold instead of the Sill
yer. The reason was because We were on
a silver basis and did not intend to disturb
the relation Of money to the business Of
the country"
Here ended the first days debate.
