It now appears that when Tammany
wished to get control over certain per-
son or persons, an Indictment for some
thing or other was found against him and
held over him; also that when some real
rascal was indicted and wished to get
clear his Indictment would be missed from
the district attorneys office at the critical
time. The wbrst phase of Tammany cor
ruption is thatit has corrupted the courts
and such thing as justice when those in
power desired Injustice has been rarely
known in the metropolis of late years.

sIt's Good Enough for Me-"

1 sat upon the zig gag fence awhile last Sun
day morn
An looked about across my fields of rustlin',
dew-touched corn;
looked upon the browsing sheep within the
paStur green,
The cattle an the horses-sleek as any that is
seen;
An further on, upon the shocks Of wheat at
spread away;
An further an yit further on, where rise my
mows of hay;
An lookin' on this scenery, I'd naught to say.
you see,
Agin the way the world is run-its good
enough for me!
1 sat upon my gallery steps, last Sunday eve,
did,
AS down behind the western hills the sun, all
sleepy, slid.
The honeysuckles' fragrancy was sweet as any
flowers
That ever cleaned all red and rare about the
Eden bowers;
An over at the barn the girl was milkin' OF
the cows,
While katydids sent up their songs from
shrubs around the house;
An lookin' on this scenery, I'd naught to say,
you see,
enough for me!

ASHLAND, Or, Nov. 8. - The Ager-
Klamath Falls stage, famous for having
been successfully held up by lone high
wayman eight times within the past sew
eral months, is again at the front with
robbery last night. The monotony in this
case was varied, however. by the imme-
dlate holding-up and subsequent iailing Of
the bandit by passenger.
The stage was going from the railroad
at Ager to Klamath Falls, carrying the
usual amount of mail and two passengers,
Newton Gordon of Klamath County, law
yer and District Attorney Benson Of
Grants Pass. who was going to attend the
session of the Circuit Court for Klamath
County, to convene tomorrow. After
having passed the little town of Keno
about a mile the stage was stopped by it's
old-time enemy and the driver ordered to
throw out the United States mal-pouches.
The highwayman did not ask for Wells
Fargo's express-box, the express having
discontinued its service over that route on
account of the numerous robberies.
The robber was standing behind tele-
graph pole and pointed what appeared to
be gun, but was aftervard discovered to
be stick, at the driver. The latter lost no
time IN throwing out the pouches, and
then drove on with his passengers few
yards. After turning bluff the stage was
stopped and Passenger Gordon got off and
returned to the scene of the robbery.
Gordon found the robber getting ready
to open the mail sacks and took shot at
him. The robber arose and ran toward a
swamp near by, and as he was in full
speed the second bali from Gordons re-
volver struck the bandits arm. Gordon
chased the robber into the tules, where the
fellow halted and gave himself up.
1t was then discovered that he was
Adolph Frick, who broke out of the Klam-
ath Falls iail the night before, while incar-
cerated awaiting trial for horse stealing.
Frick. after breaking out of Jail. stole a
horse from Newton Gordon and fed, and
Gordon was after that horse when the
stage was overhauled. Frck is a notori-
Gus character, we'll known throughout
Southern Oregon and Northern California.
He has been living about Pokegama and
the route of this stage the past two years.
For time he was one OF the deputy Fish
Commissioners of California for the KIam-
ath River district. He has served a term
at San Quentin for burglary.

Disturbances are reported at Bylanik,

The members of the commission APP
pointed to control the reforms in Armenia
have announced that Chefik Effendi will
be the president of the commission. The
Armenians of Anatolia are preparing to
send delegates to NJ. Nelidoff, the Russian
ambassador to Turkey, to implore him to
request the Gar to protect them and tenn
porarily occupy Armenia.
Kiamil Pasha, the Grand Vizier, has
telegraphed to the Wallis of the different
provinces instructing them to use their
utmost endeavors to calm the excitement
and agitation among the Mussulmans.
The Armenian patriarch of Constantinople
sent circular letter to the Bishops in
Asia Minor requesting them to exhort the
Armenians to await the execution of the
reforms that the Porte has promised. 1t
is said that the excitement is too great for
either side to pay any heed to the appeals
for the preservation of order.
According to official reports the Arme-
mans at Diarbekir attacked the Mussul-
mans while they were at prayer in the
mosques. A fight ensued, in which sew
