Condon globe. (Condon, Gilliam Co., Or.) 189?-1919, 1895-09-06

A country newspaper In Minnesota is
In trouble. II has just learned that the
scriptures cay "man is dnst." And 1t
observes that dust settles, but its sub
scrbers don't, SO II comes TO the conelu-
sion that they are not men.
"I.et the farmers agree not to plant
for one year, and the world will starve,"
excIaims PETER. Very true; and the
farmers would ytarye along with the
rest. 1t is not likely. therefore, that
such method Of solving political and
economic problems will be adopted
81. Ions Globe Democrat.
A curious use for q husband 10 re-
ported from San Francisco, where Mr..
Lomb and his wife kept small shop.
For IA years the firm has avoided pay
ing taxes by the wife's sending the hus-
band TO Jail TO serve out the legal time
for the unpaid taxes, while she remains
at the store attending 70 business.
The Telegram says: "A woman has
created quite q sensation by appearing
in Portland riding horse astride. The
day will come when this will not be an
unusual spectacle. That 10 the natural
way TO ride horse for either q man or
woman, and the French have a sensi-
ble adage 10 the effect that whatever is
natural is right"
A lawyer in courtroom may call q
man liar, scoundrel, william, or thief,
and no one makes a complaint when
court abiourns. II q newspaper prints
such q reflection on mans character
there 10 a libel suit and a big row on
hand. This 10 owing to the fact that
the people believe what an editor says;
what the lawyer says cuts no 6gure.--

At the close OF a session oi circuit
court in California last week the Judge
had retired TO rest, but the noise
OF faro table In an adjoining room
disturbed him so much that he got up
and dressed, and went in and told them
that he had tried all legal methods to
break them up and had failed, but now
he was determined TO adopt another
plan. Before the night closed he broke
the bank, and told the parties to be more
careful in the future how they interfered
with the court.
Charles Enoch Balm (Keno) met with
very serious accident Saturday night.
He rooms on the second floor of Johnson
q Wilcox's livery stable, and about mid
night he got up in his sleep, walked out
at the door and fell IL feet to the plank
floor below. Tom Johnson, who also
sleeps in the barn, heard him fall and
quickly went TO his assistance. Poor
Keno WAS as timber as rag and appar-
emily as dead as door-nail. Dir. Hogan
was hastily snmmonsed and the boy
soon regained consciousness again.
Strange rs 1t may seem, no bones were
broken, and he is already able to walk
about town again, but will not feel "at
himself" for long time yet. II was q
narrow escape from death.
Rev. z. Curran delivered a touching
farewell address Sunday evening, part
of which was in poetic form on the sub
ject Of "Goodby," which was very ap-
I propriate and beautiful. Before leaving
next morning Mr.. Curran invested in a
''glory ticket" permitting himself and
Miss Emma Meek to wed. The date for
the marriage was set for today (Thurs.
day) at Portland, Rev. @. f. Clapp Ia
officiate. They expected to leave the
same day for their new home in Oak
land, CAL, where Mr. Currsn will preach
one sermon every Sunday and also take
a course in the Pacific Theological Sem
mary OF that city. 1t is not known who
will be appointed to succeed him al
Condor, but the new minister is expect
cd here about next week.
| A good story is being told Of young
lady not many miles from Condor who
found package Of love letters that hat
been written to her mother by her father
before they were married. The daugh'
ter saw that she could have little sport
and read them to her mother, substitu
ting her own name for that of her moth
or, and fine young man for that OF he
father. The mother jumped mp anC
down in her chair, shifted her feet ant
seemed terribly disgusted, and forbade
her to have anything to do with thu
young man who would write such sick
ening and nonsensical stuff to girl
When the yonng lady handed the lette
to her mother to read the house becam'
so still that one could hear the gras
grow in the back yard. ~
