LUCY PAYToN.

Maiden or Fairy; which? I hardly know.
In checkered gingham and her hair allow,
She seems all girl. Her pretty, piquant ways,
Insouciant, laughtermaking, needless of all care,
Her acts not more girls or less a fays,
So equal are they blended, share and share,
That she is neither, but insread-the pair
The substance and the spirit of her plays
Both, and yet neither. In the DANCES whirl
fairy surely, one whose twinkling feet
Betray her station, and yet all girl.
AS each capricious, yet as both complete.
romping schoolgirl freed from tasks too soon
A roguish fairy from the woods of June.

The Telephone situation.

The telephone patent notice which has
appeared in THE CHRONICLE columns
daily for the past few weeks, probably
has considerable significance when taken
in conjunction with the telegraphic news
item published in the Sunday Oregonlan
of May 18th, to the effect that the
United States court of appeals in the
case OF the U. S. VS.. the Bell Telephone
Company, relative to the Berliner
patent, had reversed the decision of the
lower court and that therefore the Amer
lean Bell Telephone Co., practically re-
tains its monopoly of all forms of battery
telephones.

killed by the Cars.

Yesterday morning few minutes
after 2 O'Clock S. W. Fisher, in going
from the Columbia hotel to the depot,
found the dead body of man living on
the track. He at once telephoned to
the Umatilla House to stop the engine
from coming down until the body was
removed. A freight train had pulled
out at 2 10 west-bound, and the passen-
ger being about due from the east, the
engine to take it on to Portland was ex-
pected at any moment. The engine
backed down by the Umatilla House
just as the telephone message was re-
ceiYed, and the engineer did not under
stand what Mr.. Somers called to him.
The result was that the engine backed
over the body. When the engine got
near the depot Ed Howell tagged them,
but it was too late to prevent the body
from being badly mangled. Sheriff
Driver and the engineer crawled under
the engine and dragged the body, which
was fast in the pilot, out. The coroner
summoned jury and held an inquest
on the body yesterday, and after hearing
all the testimony, the following verdict
was rendered:
In the matter of the inquest held on
the body of an unknown man found dead
on the railroad track in Dalles City,
Wasco county, Oregon, near the electric
light plant:
We, the jury impaneled by w. H.
Butts. coroner of Wasco county, Oregon,
to inquire into the cause of the death of
the person whose body is before us,
after hearing the testimony of the wit
nesses, find that the body is man 8
feet, inches in height, weight about
16e pounds, sandy omplexioned, with
dark brown hair and sandy mustache
dressed with two pairs of overalls, red
undershirt, cotton shirt, blue ducking
blouse, or Jumper" new number 8
Congress gaiter shoes, and good black
felt hat. We find no other mark by
which he could be identified, and his
name is unknown to us.
we find that he came to his death by
being run over by freight No. 81, goine
west from The Dalles, at about2 O'Clock
a. m. on the 10Th day of May, 1895
probably while trying to board the train
for free ride, and that his death is no
due to the fault or neglect of any one ex
cept himself, as far as We are able to
learn.

Moore and Harlan.

From the Fayette Dem~ocrat-Sanner.
s'The failure of c. w. Moore to re-
sem the attack and abuse of c. III.
Harlan was not due" said ia. Moore,
the brother of Harlan's victim, to a
D.-B. representative, "to any cow
ardice on his part. A Drawer man
never lived. Although quite young, a
boy of II, when the war began, he
fought like a veteran. He was in Gen.
d. II. McIntyre's command and, on
one occasion when guns were scarce
and an older soldier wanted him to
give his gun to him and stay behind
until after the fight, young Moore
chung to his gun and cried and begged
to be allowed to fight, and his appeal
was finally granted. Gen. Mcintyre
remembers the incident distinctly and
'vouches for the truth of the story.
But my brother was subject to heart
disease. On one occasion he was in n
runaway affair, and having a broken
leg he could not Jump out of the wagon,
and finally fell out after q terrible ex-
perience and ever afterwards his heart
has been weak, the physician said land
he avoided excitement. Besides this
he was an elder in the Christian
church and had grown daughters and
did not want to be mixed up in a
fracas with Harlan in any shape"

POLITICAL DEBTS
To be Paid by the Removal of Brown
and Zevely.
From the st. Louis Post Dispatch

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch,
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, Jan. 22.-It is
as good as settled that Frank Brown,
official reporter of the Supreme Court
and j. w. Zevely, State Librarian, will
be removed as soon as the Supreme
Court can have a full sitting, the ILL
ness of Judge Macfarlane alone post
poning action. 1t is given out by the
friends of Brown and Zevely that
Judge Sherwood, Burgess, Barclay and
Robinson will vote together for remov
al, and they further claim that Judge
Burgess will be allowed to name the
successor to Brown as official reporter
and that Judge Barclay will name the
librarian to succeed Zevely, Judges
Sherwood and Robinson being indiffer-
ent to aught but removal. Tyson S.
Dimes, a resident lawyer of Denver,
Colo, but formerly of this state, and
the man who put Judge Burgess in
nomination, is now in this city, which
fact lends color to the above state
ment. Why a man, a resident of Col
orado, should be given the position
over citizens of Missouri, is not clearly
understood. 1t is further claimed that
one or two state officials are interested
in the deal. 1t is a complicated polit-
ical fight and a plain attemptt to pay off
old scores

THE HUMAN EAR.
A Notable Lecture on the Sense OF
Hearing by Dr.. Hartman.

During the course of one of DIR.
Hartman's latest lectures at the Surgi-
cal Hotel, he said: "Good hearing is
essential to health and safety. A con
tinual roaring, cracking and buzzing
in the head, which is always produced
by partial loss of hearing, is a constant
nervous irritation which will gradually
undermine the strength. Besides this,
eve a slight loss of hearing renders
anyone more liable to accident, many
persons being killed every year be-
cause of partial deafness. Many peo-
pie think that a gradual loss of the
sense of hearing is inevitable, and that
everyone must submit to it sooner or
later. Hence they make no attempt
to find a IRE This is a great mistake.
Loss of hearing, either in the old or
young people, is nearly always due to
chronic catarrh of the head or middle
carr
Catarrhal deafness is due to ca
tarrh of the throat passing up through
the Eustachian tubes to the middle
ear The catarrh in rare cases origi-
mates in and remains confined to the
middle a The symptoms are: Roar
ing, cracking, buzzing in the ear, with
gradually increasing difficulty in hear
ing. II not cured the hearing will be
entirely destroyed. When the case
has not already gone too far before
the treatment is begun Pe-ru-na will
cure every case. 1t is only after ca
tarrh has destroyed portions of the
middle ear that P~e-ru-na fails to cure.
All such cases should write DIR. Hart
man, Columbus, Ohio, for further adj
vice.
A book on la grippe, coughs, colds,
catarrh, etc, will be sent free to any
address by The Pe-ru-na Drug Man
ufacturing Company of Columbus,
Ohio.

Chas. Lyons, the alleged bigamist,
was taken to the county jail at Fulton,
Mo-, this afternoon by Constable Pey-
ton, of Galloway. The Grand Jury
failed to find an indictment against
him and he was discharged this orn
ing by the court, on account of the
offense being committed in Galloway
county.

city, were married at Auxvasse, Mo-,
and he was transferred to Galloway
County for trial.
Constable Peyton was on hand with
a warrant for his arrest from Galloway
County and arrested him and took

Lyons was very indignant, either
because he had to go to Fulton, or be-
cause he thought he should never have
been confined in the Jail here.
