The editor of the Salem Capital
Journal took occasion some weeks
ago to instruct Lincoln county
people how to run their politics In
order to down the ring that
Hofer always imagines is in ex-
istence. He failed to take our
advice to look out after the rings
in his own county and hence the
republicans of Marion county re-
fused to put him on the legislative
ticket by a very decisive vote.
The convention was composed
principally Of farmers, and they had
got 1t into their heads that the
editor of the Capital Journal was
connected with a ring himself.

The expenditure of $r,o25, 900
within a period Of three or four
years on Yaquina Bay by the gov
ernment means a great deal for the
county generally. The mere ex-
pidenture of that amount Of money
for work, material etc., Is a big
thing in itself, but the assured fact
that the.bar is going to be so inn
proved that ships Of any size may
enter the harbor Is something that
will mean assured prosperity to the
county. Yaquina Bay is all right.

Monster Cetacean Landed on Monter-
ey Beach After a Lively Struggle.
Monterey, May 25.-Captain Henry
Schaufele's crew Of the Monterey Vvhal-
ing company have captured the third
whale of the season in the bay here.
The whaling company's boat was
launched and by moving carefully
they rowed to within a few feet of the
monster before it attempted to get
away.
Only one harpOOn was used, but the
blow proved effective. In q twinkHng
the boat was being dragged through
the water at the rate Of thirty miles an
hour. The line was played out or taken
in as an angler plays with a trout, and
after a half hours struggle the whale
gave up the battle and soon was lying
motiOnless at the top of the water. 1t
was then towed to this city, the crew
arriving with the prize at noon.
The humpback whale is the most
profitable Of its species, and this par
ticular one is said to be the finest ever
caught in Monterey bay It is over
forty feet long, fat and ugly looking,

PROHTB WOOLEYis TALK.
Christian Citizenship Defined by the
Noted Temperance Leader


San Francisco, May 25.-Though the
keynote Of the talk of John G. Woolley
last night at metropolitan hall was
upon prohibition there was not a dry
period in his two hours discourse
A license law he defined as q drop Of
prohibition in an ocean of permission
and said that this team OF truth and
falsehood was as awkward a one as
was ever hitched up.
Whenever the Christian voter be-
gins to use his power as well as to feel
lit, he announced, he viii make things
hum politically. il don't expect that the
prohibition party viii win as it is now
organized The measure OF the power
Of the church in this cause is best tes-
titled by the number Of ballots it
casts.
'Ninety-ffve to ninety-eight per cent
Of the Christians" he said. were try
religion and license politics at the same
time.
when it comes to voting the poll
tician does not care whether you are
q Baptist or a bum, whether you are
gifted in eloquence or fluent in profan-
ity whether you teach a Sabbath school
or run a faro bank"
He admonished his hearers and
church people generally not to pay
heed to what the effect Of voting for
the prohibition of the liquor traffic
would have, or any Of the political par
ties, but to vote as they felt they were
called upon to do by Cod Continuing
he said:
THE time has come when a Christian
must be as true to the church as the
LIQUOR man is to the saloon. I do not
mean to ask you to vote the prohibition
ticket. but I want you to vote for q
desire, and if there is no party for you
to vote with, let US make one.

An Overflow Audience Greets the

San Francisco, May 25-1Jot since
"Trnby'' was here has the Baldwin
theater had such an audience as it con
tanned to welcome the DAILY company,
with Ada Rehan as the star feature

and chairs were placed wherever a con-

The audience was not so niggardly
of it's applause as a house with many
dress suits, white gloves and deni-
tOilettes generally is.
People were on the verge of evening
low the general rule, which is that the
more gOregOusly people are arrayed the
less they applaud. On the contrary,
they were lavish with marks Of appTO-
baton, and at the end of the second
act tried hard to get a speech from the
management, after calling Ada Rehan
