Save Life and Money.

Conductor Stevens, of the Moscowrun,
has an even better opinion of football
players now then he had before, says the
Colfax Gazette. His increased good
opinion was brought about peculiarly.
Thanksgiving day the evening train to
Pullman had on board the college football
team, and when the train was forced to
stoop by finding thre5 horses fast in q
trestle, Captain McCroskey came out just
as the trainmen were preparing to hitch
chains to the horses to pull them out,
expecting Of course, In clearing the track,
to kill the horses. But the football hero
called for a stay of proceeding and called
ont his crysanthemum-locked eleven,
showed them the horses, said 4-l1-44. OF
something like that, four men took hold
of four, there was straining of muscles
and one horse was set on bis legs by the
eide OF the track and trotted off unin-
iured. The other two animals were res
cued, and the train went on ite way
passengers and trainmen rejoicing.

TWO vIEMs OF PENSIONS.
No, Many Rich IN Our Wars Writes

Not Many Rich in Our Wars, Writes
Ex-President Harrison.
"There may be fair differences OF opin.
ion as to the extent and conditions OF
pension relief, but there is no room for
doubt as to pensions," writes Ex.Presi-
dent Harrison in the November Ladies'
Home Journal. "This Country of Ours"
article. Eleven dollars month for
war services implies, at least, relief In
case OF wounds or sickness for the sold
ier, and that the public shall care for his
widow and minor children. When the
law of pillage prevailed it was otherwise !;
and when our rich men take to fighting
our wars we can abolish the pension
system, but thus far it is aH historically
true Of the armies that won our inde-
pendence, delivered US -from tbs lnalan
and British and saved the nation in the
great Civil war, as was OF the Kingdom
Of Heaven: Not many rich.'
"There are two views Of the pension
question--ons from the Little Round
Top OF Gettysburg, looking out over .
field strewn thickly with the dead, and
around upon bloody, blackened and
manned men cheering the shot-torn bon
ner Of their country ;-the other from an
Office desk on busy street, or from en-
dowed chairs in a university, looking

Christmas for indians.

The Nez Perce Indians will all have
q comfortable sum with which to enjoy
the approaching holidays and to make q
lively Christmas wherever they may be.
The pay rolls for their third instaliment
of purchase money were made up and
forwarded to Washington few days
ago and the department will have ample
time to verify the 6gures and make the
payment before Christmas. The total OF
the rolls for this payments $lS6, 900 and
ID equal to about $ll0 to each one. The
payment will come at an opportune
time. as the Indians have nearly all
gone broke aud have used up all Of
their bank deposits except all at interest

The three Lederle brothers, who live at
the corner Of Eight and Willow streets,
had an impromptu dance ct their house.
George Mcbride, q neighbor, proposed
the affair, and Immediately set out to
drum up a crowd. He called at the
Peasner home and invited Joe and his
sister. but said nothing to George and
Andrew. The two latter felt the slight,
and plotted vengeance,
The dance was proceeding merrily
when about midnight in walked Andrew
and George Peasner, and strobe on
through to the kitchen. They had gone
up town, where they drank freely, aud
brought with them can OF beer. For

An Old Coin.

William Cook, Of Medford, has an old
coin, an English one-penny piece, bear
ing date Of 1866 II was found in the
ruins Of BrambeI castle, Sussex county.
England, in 1862, and, while not found
by Mr.. Cook, he was present when it
was unearthed and it was given to him
at that time. The coin was made during
the reign Of King Henry l, who was the
son OF Goodwin, Earl of Kent: II is
probable that only one Issue OF these
coins we're made, as King Harold only
reigned one year, he having been killed
at the battle Of Hastings by William
Duke OF Normandy. The coin above

BUSINESS is bright IN HAWAII.
John w. Foster Snys the Islands Arc
Still Anxious to lie Annexed.

John w. Foster Says the Islands Arc
StiIl Anxious to lie Annexed.
WASHINGTON Nov. 30.-Mr. John w.
Foster. former secretary OF state, has re-
turned to Washington from a four weeks
visit to Hawaii whittier he went as the rep
resentative OF the Pacific Cable company.
In speaking Of his visit, Mr.. Foster said:
THE condition OF business in Hawaii is
flourishing. The islands are prosperous and
their future is bright. The Pacific mail has
recently doubled its service, sending
steamer twice month instead OF once as
formerly and a new line Is soon expected
to be established by the Japanese, which
will touch at the islands on the way to San
Francisco The people of Hawaii wish to be
annexed to the United States. The present
government has the approval of majority
OF the native HawGiians and there is no
likelihood that there ever will be a restora-
tion of the monarchy. The English and Ger
man element, however, are opposed to an
nexation to the United States because they
believe 1t will interfere with the contract
labor and so affect their interests CONNER
cially The present government in it's aG-
mnistration is giving satisfaction. Yet this
government is only temporary and the peo-
pie want to be annexed to the United States.
The members of the government are pledged
to II and the present constitution OF the re-
public expresses this expectation. SO 1t Is
the general belief that the matter should be
decided at an early date, II possible"
Mr. Foster said 1t was not apparent that
Hawaii could maintain herself as an inde-
pendent government in case the United
States should refuse to annex the Islands.
Although her people are lawabiding and the
present government gets on smoothly and
successfully, there Is a continual fear, said
Mr. Foster that some change may occur.
So far as the Hawniians are concerned lnde-
pendently of outside influences. they are
capable of self-government. In Mr.. Fosters
opinion however, annexation is the only way
out of the situation in which Hawaii is
