LOST THE END OF his NOSE.
Peculiar Accident Which Occurred in a
BARRIERS Chair.

Peculiar Accident Which Occurred in a
BARRIERS Chair.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.-William
Hannigan met with a peculiar acci-
dent yesterday which cost him the
end of his nose. He has attended all
the masquerade balls held recently and
consequently lost great deal of sleep.
When he entered barber shop at
Sixteenth and Valencia streets, he was
drowsy. He dropped into the barber's
chair and called for shave. The
barber proceeded with all good grace,
but observed while lathering Hanni-
gan's face that William had fallen
asleep. Being an industrious barber
he concluded the situatiopdid not de-
mand cessation of work. and being q
gentle barber, he did not care to dis
turb the slumbers of his customer.
Everything went along pleasantly un-
til the razor began operations on Han
nigan's lips. Suddenly Hannigan's 3
fists shot OUT right and left striking
an imaginary foe. The barber tried to
jump out of the way, but Hannigan
hit the razor and drove its keen edge
through the top of his nose. Then
William awoke with start and
looked at the dismayed barber, and
when he felt the blood dripping down
mis- face realized what had happened.
There was hasty explanation and
then Hannigan picked up the piece of
his nose and ran for the hospital. The
surgeon stitched it on. In..the afternoon
Hannigan explained that he had some
trouble with man the night before
and that the trouble bobbed up in
dreamland.

Some people have peculiar ideas.
They are demanding higher tariff taxes
to create prosperity, and at the same
time denouncing increased direct
taxes as burden which is unbearable.

Second Prize In New Testament Greek Won
by yClyde Fogle.
EUGENE, Or, Feb. 26.-Clyde Fogle,
a member of the junior class in the
university of Oregon, has received the
second prize offered by the American
Institute of Sacred Literature for ex-
cellence in New Testament Greek.
All the colleges of the world were rep
resented in this competition. Mr..
Fogle has received all his instruction
in Greek in the university of Oregon,
under Professor John Straub. The
value of the prize is $50.
This is considered a great compli-
ment to Mr.. Fogle, and the entire
university. 1t speaks highly for the
quality of the classical instruction.
The university of Oregon has always
had an excellent reputation in the
East for its work in the classics. Sew
eral of its students and graduates have
earned honors and prizes in the past
in Eastern universities.

that Senator Cullom will be the choice
of the st. Louis convention for presi-
dent. DIR. Keiser had a similar reyela-
tion fortelling the nomination Of Gar
field months before the convention
met. when Grant, Blaine and Sher-
man appeared to- be the coming men,
and he also predicted the election of
Cleveland in 1884 and 1892. Senator
Cullom treats the matter lightly, but
the other candidates, whose only hope
OF ever reaching the White House de.
ponds upon something more than
human efforts, may be made slightly
nervous by the doctors predictions.
The relative values of Senator
Mitchell and Representative Ellis as
servants Of the people of Oregon are
soon to be weighed in the scale of pub

ing In the balance, both must expect
to be relegated to the position of pri-
vate citizen. While the TINES
does not approve the
course either of these gentlemen have
pursued generally in congress, neither |
does it advocate their reelection, yet |
1t would offer suggestion by which
they may profit, and If followed may
secure them the support OF their party |
in Eastern Oregon, at all events it
would be but performing the duties
'or which they were elected. The
question of most Importance to East
,rn Oregon is the opening of the Col
,mbia river. and If Messrs. Mitchell
md Ellis hope to gain support from
he people, now is the time to show
worthy of support by secur-
ng legislation favorable to this pur-
,ose. Unless they do, Eastern Oregon
7ill be forced to look for more efficient
eryants.
