1t is Judge Stearns.

Lincoln county is no longer an
orphan as far as county Judge is con-
cerned. After due deliberation of
nearly a month, Gov. Lord finally
made a selection for the office of county
Judge from theI list of the numerous
applicants for that position. A special
to the Leader informs us that ]. o.
Stearns, of Waldport, has been ap-
pointed tofill the vacancy caused ty
the death of Judge Burt.
Judge Stearns has been resident of
Alsea Bay for number of years. He
is the recognized republican leader of
that part of the county. His first ap-
pearance in politics was in 1892, before
the county was divided, when he ran
for the legislature and was defeated by
s. 7. Jeffreys, by small majority.
In lS9Slwhen the county was divided,
he wasappointed county commissioner
by Goye Penn0ger, and served a little
over a year 10 that capacity. In 1894
lie was Jed by many republicans to
become a candidate for county judge,
and he refused to allow his name to be
used. AT 1.-The last republican county
convention he was an aspirant for the
nomination for county clerk, but was
defeated in the nomination by Capt.
Robertson. His appointment as county
judge will hold until the first of July,

Scorpion Bite,

G. M Goodman, an employe of the
Victory placer mine about seven miles
north Of Glendale, was stung by a
scorpion on the third finger of the
right hand last Thursday morning,
says the Grants Pass Courier. Good
man was engaged in blasting out
some stumps, and took hold of the
insect which stung him severely. Be-
fore he could reach the camp, about o
quarter of mile away, his arm was
badly swollen, ard at last accounts the
sting was regarded as a possibly fatal
one. Dr. Miller, of Roseburg, was at
once telegraphed for, and a telegram
was also sent to the injured mans
wife IN Kansas. Goodman is about
80 years Of age, and Of a strong con-
stitution, which favors recovery. The
scorpion was captured, and measured
five and q half inches iu length, an
unusually large one.

Malicious Prosecution.

The Albany Herald Of Sept. 4 says:
One John A. Bletsch appeared before
Justice Powell aud gave Information
against Geo. NJ. Geisendorfer, to the
effect that he and others had seen the
carcass of deer hanging up in the
house of Mr.. Geisendofer, at Cascade
springs, OIL the South Santism, and
the still fresh and bloody hide Of said
deer hanging up in the house, during
the close season, and swore out com,
plant. The examination took place
Yesterday in Justice Powell's office
and the evidence showed completely
different from the oath of the proscut.
ing witness. 1t showed that Mr..
Geisindofer had not only not killed
any deer, but had never hunted any,
and the hide seen in the house was
taken from the. carcass of deer given
to him last October, killed by hunter
in the open season, The law should
punish such barefaoed malicious pros
ecutors. &t &.t

Narrow Escape from Death,

William Terhume, a stepson of E.
Archibald, who lives about eight miles
east of Albany, had narrow escape
from death yesterday afternoon. He
was driving binder, when one of the
horses got astride of the binder
tongue, and he got off the machine
and took hold of the brides of the
team, when the. horses made plunge
and threw him to the ground, carry
ing the machine over him so that one
of the guards struck him on the head
cutting deep and ugly wounds. He was
otherwise badly cut up and was also
injured in the spine, but to what
extent is not known. DR.. Hill, of this
city, was called and dressed his
wounds and left him resting as COM
Portable as the circumstances would
allow. The doctor thinks he was
fortunate to Escape with his life

will carry them. They must then rest

Extracting Oil from shad.

Eastern people will be amazed to learn
that experiments have been made here
in the matter of extracting oil from shad,
with a view of utilizing shad caught
in the Columbia. and for which no mar
ket can be found, for the manufacture
of oil and fertilizer. Shad are much
more plentiful in the Columbia this sea-
son than ever before, and there is a
market for only small portion Of those
caught, notwithstanding that no one is
making q business of fishing for them,
and all caught are taken in salmon
seines or traps. If fishing had been
going on at full swing, as it would had
there been no strike, there would have
been great many more caught and
many tons of them would have gone to
waste. The idea of using shad for MAX
ing oil and fertilizer will strike Eastern
fishermen much the same as the idea of
using salmon for such a purpose would
strike an Oregonian. If the shad re-
main IN the Columbia till fishing begins
in earnest, which will probably be In a
few days. large quantities of them viii
be caught, and, as there is practically
no sale for them, they will be better
utilized for oil and fertilizer than thrown
away.-Portland Oregonian

The Outdoor Woman.

The catastrophe which resulted in the
death, two weeks ago, of young MOnl-
an .cyclist in this city was one of the
most distressing affairs of the kind which
have occurred this sea son- 1t was the
more so because it shows that even eX-
peIieneed riders who are not going at d
reckless pace are able to encounter dam
ger. The truck with which Miss Schu-
macher collided was on a down grade
and unable to stop suddenly. According
to the accounts the young woman be-
came confused when she saw the threat
ening disaster, and instead of turning to
the left and passing behind the wagon,
where there was plenty of room, she
twisted sharply to the right and at
tempted to pass in front of the horses
A way out of the difficulty which [ have
not seen suggested is that she might
have jumped off her wheel. She was not
going so fast that this would have been
impossible, but. strangely, enough, it
seems to be a thing to which the ma ori-
ty of riders have an unconquerable aver
sion. Many an accident could be avoided
if the cycEst would dismount at once
in troublesome places and wait for a
clear field before advancing farther
Another point about this unfortunate
affair is that when brought to Sc
we're test the young woman. although
considered an expert, was not able to ex-
she was doing, she chose the dangerous
instead of the safe way Of passing the
truck It is useless to say that all
should have equal presence of mind.
The amount Of that quality possessed
depends largely upon the temperament
Of the person. Nevertheless. it may and
must be cultivated to a certain degree
if women are to ride with safety through
the streets Of New York or any large
city. And, in default Of being able to
think quickly enough in an emergency,
habits of carefulness may be formed.
If this rider had accustomed herself, as
many prudent wheelwomen have done,
always to pass behind a wagon or car
where possible, her life might have been
sayed.-Harper's Bazaar

Spellbound by a Song.

A curious and unusual sight was wit
messed the other night in the west Of
London. Two gentlemen, one an Ameri-
can, and the other a well-known French
tenor, engaged at the Paris Opera house,
paid visit to the skating rink at
Knightsbridge, met some old acquaint-
ances there, and spent lively evening,
parting with their friends soon after II
p. M, comfortably exhilarated and joy
Gus.
Walking along they came across a
blind man dolefully singing ballad to
the accompaniment of a guitar. Imme-
diately the Frenchman was seized with
an idea. Going up to the blind man,
and giving him a coin, he asked leave to
try his guitar. and in few moments
passers-by realized that somebody was
handling an instrument in a manner
quite unexpected in the streets. Prompt
~ a crowd gathered, and then the rich
voice of the operate singer burst forth
on the night air as he accompanied him
self on the guitar, says the Westminster
Gazette
Such a melody in London street
proved irresistible. Soon the entire
thoroughfare was blocked, rich and poor
alike stopping, eager to hear the I'M
wonted music while rumors of all sorts
flew around the crowd as to the identity
Of the unknown singer, whose tones

For tire Day iu Town.

When one is at the country or at the
shore wash dresses are q perfect boon,
but there are times when trip to town
is necessary. and then a gown fit for
travelling, Emt sufficiently thin to be COM
Portable, us needed. One cannot appear
in town Jim any of the dainty frocks one
wears daily in the country. One would
look like a misplaced Phyllis. More's
the pity, for certainly a woman should
dress according to the season.
OF course, there is always the shirt
waist, but there are women unfortunate
enough TO look but i'll in them, and so
they are mot to be considered. Alpaca
is conceded to be cool, and is SO if made
UP u3p0perly, with not too heavy Innings
1t has splendid qualities to recommend
it fen travelling, because it sheds the
dust and does not soil readily.
A smart gown of mOde-tinted alpaca,
with a finish as glossy as silk, is made an
attractive gown that can be worn equally
well for shopping or visiting. The
spreading skirt is as plain as possible,
burt has am interlining of mode-tinted silk
and a lot of siIk-dust ruffies RS a setoH.
The bodice is round and drawn at
the waist by the narrowest of belts in
lizard green kid, with small oval kid
buckle. A narrowpointed vest of black
satin set in at the throat is finished by
a crushed stock of black satin, with
enormous pointed ears standing at each
side. Broad lace in butter tint is draped
artistically over the tops of the bouffant
sleeves and along the edge Of the vest
to a pOint at the waist

YOUNG FOLKS COLUMN.
Judith.


Flower of youth, in the ancient frame
Maid of the mettlesome lip and eye,
Lightly wearing the fateful name,
And the rakish beaver of days gone by!
Pink Of fashion, Yet this is she
That once, through midnight forest and
fen,
Guided the horsemen of "old Santee,''
And rode to the death with Marion's men
Rare the picture that decks the wall;
Rare and dainty, in life, below,
My century-later belle of the ball,
Mocking the beauty of long ago.
If now the summons should come to ride,
Through such darkness as brooded then
How would it please you to serve as guide
And where, ali, where were Marion's
men?
False the logic that breeds the fear.
Buds will blossom, and pipes will play.
So it was in that early year;
So shall it be till the world is gray
But the petted darling, if need shall be,
AS swift to the saddle will vault again;
And those that follow will ride as free
AS ever of old rode MariOn's men.

like Craze in England.

Bicycling in England is as popular as
here, and the English women have
caught the craze as is shown by the en-
tertainment arranged by a ladies' club.
1t is to be O series Of contests of the
amusing sort. The egg and spoon ride
is almost too well known to need de-
scription. Competitors will have to ride
100 yards, guiding the cycle with one
hand and holding the egg and spoon in
the other. The side saddle race is 200
yards down a straight course. The same
course is to be followed riding one BIZ
cycle and leading another. There will
be some fun over the needle race, In
which ladies are to ride 100 yards, dis
mount, thread needle at table and
return to the winning post round a
marked course, holding the needle nm the
hand. The bill posting race is so
yards ride, then dismount post a bill
on boarding already prepared, mount
and ride $50 yards to the winning post.
The bill is not to be stuck on anyhow.
She who posts it symmetrically and
neatly win win the race, if she be not
unduly slow about it. Linked hands, is
rather difficult race, to be ridden over
200 yards by two bicyclists who must
hold hands all the way. The ninth and
last event is the musical ride, to the
band of the Fourth husSarS

were thrilling his audience. Meanwhile
the blind man stood enraptured, tears
falling down his face as he listened.
The American, needless to say prompt
" grasped the business side of the ques-
ton and went around the crowd with
his hat, soliciting donations. They came,
too. thick and fast, in coins of all sorts
and sizes. When at last the police felt
it incumbent on them to take steps to
avoid the increasing block of traffic, the
philanthropic gentlemen turned over to
the blind man the contents of the hat,
which amounted to over FL, and jumping
into hanson, drove off, amid the cheers
of the crowd.
