Crops in Danger.

SALEM, Or, Nov. 29.-The cold spell
is not yet over in Salem. The thermo-
meter was within IA degrees below zero
this morning. The countinuanceo of cold
weather arouse fears for the potato crop
and fall-sown grain, The upland potato
crop that has not been dug is probably
safe. In the overhowed lands along the
river and creek bottoms, it is feared the
crop will be damaged by the freeze. The
surface of the ground is frozen dry and
if a snow should fall or the cold snap
break up at once, wheat would not be
injured. But if thaws and freezes
should alternate, the tender roots would
be frozen out of the ground.
1t has been several years since skating
was good in Salem, and everybody who
delights in the sport availed himself OF
the excellent opportunity yesterday and
today. There iGabundance of ice cover
ing the still waters and the sloughs and
lakes have been literally patronized.

Puget Sound Joins in the
Freeze Up.
GROUND FROZEN EIGHTEEN INCHES
In Minnesota and Dakota the Cold
Weather Continues, with Loss
of Life and Stock.

TACOMA, Nov. 29.-The present cold
snap holds the record for Novembe II
also holds the record for the longestIcon-
tinued cold spell, and the snow in West.
er Washington is deeper and dryer than
ever known before. Another new cold
weather record has been established for
Commencement bay, as, for several
miles from shore it is covered with a
thick coating of ice. Just how thick
may be understood when the steamer
Aberdeen was prevented from making
her regular landing at the wharf on &C.
count of her inability to break Schan-
mel through the ice. The steamer Flyer,
the fastest boat on the Pacific coast, had
to back nearly a mile to clear the ice
foe, before taking her course.
Captain Clayton and his wife started
out for their ship in one of the ship
boats, pull d by four strong sailors, and,
after battling with the ice for over an
hour, had to abandon the attempt.
Captain Bailey. of the Drumrock,
started boat away from his ship to help o
break passage through the ice, so that
Captain Clayton and his wife could
bring their boat alongside the Drumrock.
This is certainly something new, for
there is no record that can be found to
show that the salt water bays of the
Sound haYe ever frozen over before.
Reports are coming in from all Sec
tions of the Sound of great damage done
by frost to the root and fruit crops, by
reason of their being no way to stow it
away. Many of the farmers living in the
valleys had taken up only as much OF
their crop as they had immediate sale
for, and for convenience had left the
rest of the crop in the ground. In all
such cases, the farmer will lose every
thing, for the frost has gone in the
ground in many cases Is to 20 inches.
Considering the amount of snow that
has fallen, and the great mum Der of peo-
pie who have taken advantage of it to
go coasting in Tacoma and Seattle, in
many cases down dangerously steep
hills, there have been but few accidents
during the past week, and the sum total
of accidents ior the week does not
amount to more than four or five cases
of broken arms and legs, which, consid-
ering the large number out, and the dan
gerous proximity of the coasting grounds
to street and railroad traffic, is remark
able.

STILL INTENSELY COLD.
Trains Are Beginning to Move In the
Northwest.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 29.-The weather in

is stuck in a snowdrift at New Salem,
40 miles west of Bismarck, and cannot
move until snowplows clear the tracks.
In some deep cuts, snow is drifted on
the track to depth of so feet. A coal
famine prevails at Bismarck, and there
will be much suffering unless relief is
afforded at once. No services were held
in the churches today and the fuel on
hand was distributed among the poor

Dallas OMciaps Tough Experience With
Thieves.
DALLEs, Tex, Nov. 29.-At midnight,
five pistol shots in rapid succession IN
the vicinity of the courthouse attracted
the police to that building. w. E. Coe,
county treasurer. was found in his Office
with blood oozing from wound in the
back of the head. He was in a dazed
condition and in very excited frame of
mind. He said he had been working
very late in order to get the affairs of the
Office in shape to retire in favor of his
successor. At midnight, two men ap-
peared, and one placed gun to his tenn
pie and ordered him to open the vault.
He did so, and all the valuable papers
and contents of the inner vault were ex-
amined by one of the robbers. After
placing a considerable sum of money in
a canvass sack, the robbers withdrew
from the vault. Coe seized his pistol
and shot at the robbers. The latter re-
turned the fire, hitting the treasurer in
the back of the head, inf1icting a bad
scalp wound. The treasurer says the
robbers secured $4,000, and he is conf
dent that he shot and badly wounded
one of his assailants. The police force
and large number of deputies with
bloodhounds are on the trail of the rob-
hers

A Pretty Sentiment.

Speaking OF the free Use OF those
eminently uncertain terms, "genile.
man" and "lady," correspondent ct
the Listener has been amused at see
ing in Washington paper IN adver-
tisement in WHICH "two colored ladies"
seek situations, one as cook the other
as nurse. No doubt these two worthy
women have been iold so many times
that they must perform theirdnties in
a "lady-like" manner that some little
confusion has been introduced into
their minds as to the proprietorsh:p Of
the term '1ady." Aud for that mat
ter, the little uncertainties are the life
and beauty of a language. What
could be more charming, or a more
delicate tribute to the chivalry of the
English speaking races. than the fact
that, no matter what grade woman
belongs to, she always becomes an
sold lady" i'm the evening of life P

HUMAN FLESH AS A RELISH
Cannibalism More Largely Prac
ticed Than Supposed.

Cannibalism has been made a
special study recently by the bu-
reau of ethnology. Data on the
subject have been ga hered from all
parts of the world, which are par
ticularly interesting in view of the
discoveries pointing to the conclu-
sion that this horrible practice is
far more widespread than was i'm
agined. Stanley claimed that 3d.
100000 cannibals dwell in the ba-
sin of the Congo to-day-people
who relish human flesh above all
other meat. Perhaps the most
peculiar form of cannibalism is
found in certain mountainous dis
tricts of northeast Burmah, where
there are tribes that follow a life
in ali important respects like that
of wild beasts These people eat
the CONCEALED blood of their enc
mics. The blood is poured into
bamboo reeds, and in the course of
time, being corked up, it hardens.
The filled reeds are hung under the
roofs of the huts, and when per
son desires to treat.his friends, very
Hospitality, devoured.
The black natives Of Australia
are all professional cannibals. DR.

"A Noble Band of Ten" In Thu
Worlds Fair Dairy Tests.

There were ten Jersey cows in the
Worlds Fair dairy tests which went
through every test, beginning May II,
and remaining continuously under
test until September 2Sth, 1898,
period of 40 days.
There werei nine Short Horns and
seven Guernseys which remained con-
tinnnnsly in the tests.
The names of the Jersey cows which
took part in all three tests are as fol-
lows: Ida Marigold 32615, Brown
Bessie 1897, Sayda 3rd 1917. Baron
ess Argyle 4O49S, Flora Temple 3rd
4OOS6, Sheba Rex 47429, Exile's Lulu
1884, Merry Maiden 64949, Hugo's
Countess 6S394 and Signal Queen
3OS69.
The total milk given by these ten
great Jerseys in hundred and forty
days was 50,1S7 lbs, or an average
per COW of 5OIS ITO lbs, or daily
average of 80 81 100 lbs. When it is
considered that this was done upon
practically dry feed, with worse than
no ensilage, that they passed from
spring into summer, from summer to
autumn, that they were continuously
subjected to the examination of crowds
of visitors, that the barns were intest.
ed with flies, and that their surround
ings were unnatural and not condu-
Give to the best results, the quantity OF
milk given stamps the Jerseys as very
deep mixers and possessed of great
tenacity in holding to it.
This is especially apparent when the
average per cow is given for the ami
mails of each breed that went through
the entire tests. The Short Horns
considered capable of outmilking theil
little sisters, the Jerseys, averaged 81
lbs. per COW per day; the Guernsey
81 40-l00 lbs. per day; while the DER
seys, as has been stated, averaged
35 81 100 lbs. per COW per day.
The total quantity of butter giver
by these ten Jerseys in hundred ant
forty days was 1881 $500 lbs, or {
daily average of 2 So 100 lbs per COW
per day. That of the Short-Horn'
which went through all tests averaged
l 5l.100 lbs. per day, and that of thu
Guernseys l 76-100 lbs. per day.
Truly, these little Jersey cows ma!
be properly styled "noble band o
ten."

Clay City, KY, March A Louis
Hunter Frank Shaddock. j. Terry
and Misses Elizabeth Powers and
Jessie johnson were arraigned in the
Police Court here to-day, charged
with disturbing religious worship. 1t
was the first trial of the kind ever
held in this section in which young
ladies were among the defendants.
1t seems that several nights ago the
defendants attended revival meeting
being conducted by Elder ID. e..
Combs, noted mountain evangelist.
When the preacher was warming up
to his subject, one of the young ladies
attempted TO take some candy out OF
the coat pocket of one of the young
men.
Instead of candy she look from the
pocket large onion, and held 1t up in
full view of those near her. Her ac-
ton caused several to laugh outright,
and number to giggle. The minis
ter paused in his sermon long enough
to rebuke the young people, and next
day James Wells, one Of the deacons
of the church, swore out warrants for
the arrest of the defendants.
All the young people on trial belong
to good families, and the affair has
created great deal OF gossip.

DAMAGED $500 VOLUMES.
Havoc Played BY Water In a Kan.
sas City Library.

A water pipe in the toilet room of
the Board of Education burst, some
time after 10 o'clock last night and
when the public library was opened
shortly after o'clock this morning, it
was found that the water had come
through the ceiling and flooded the
west end of the library-room, says the
Kansas City Star.
Mrs. Whitney, Librarian, said to-
day that 5000 volumes had been more
or less damaged. All the books in the
juvenile department and hundreds of
valuable reference books were satura
ted. Some of the latter books had
been secured for the library only after
long and patient search and an out
lay of much money.
The library clerks were busy at
work Tuesday morning spreading the
wet books on the floors and drying
them before the stoves and CRATES.
Many of the bindings became loose
and fell apart. Mrs. Whitney thinks
that it will cost at least y |, 900 to repair
the damage. Fortunately the library
has bindery, where the work can be
done at about one-third the usual cost.
