The per centage of illiteracy
among immigrants to this country
during the past year, by nationali-
ties, is given thus, Sweden and
Norway, I; Germany, 2; France,
English and Scotland, 8; Ireland,
7; Wales, 9; Russa, a6; Poland,
29; Austria-Hungary, 80; Italy,
A. The percentage of immigra-
ton from the various European
countries bears very close ratio to
that of illiteracy, Austria-Hungary,
Russia, Italy, Greece, and the
other Mediterranean countries fur
nishing by far the larger proportion
of the future voters that are being
poured into this country, ready
tools of the bosses money or the
anarchists persuasion. The safety
of this free country demands that
this illiterate scum of Europe be
absolutely kept out, and the bill
that is now before congress should
be speedily passed; though it
would be better if it were more
stringent in this as we'll as in some
other qualifications. The gates
will be closed one of these days.
The next state election to follow
Oregon is Alabama, which will vote
OH August 8. In September three
states will vote-Vermont, Arkan-
sas and Maine. Vermont will
choose governor September I, to
serve for two years; Arkansas,
September 7, governor for two
years; and Maine, September ID,
will elect governor, who will also
serve for two years. October s.,
Florida's state election occurs, and
the day following, October 7, a
state election will be held in
Georgia. The states that will
choose state officers November a
are: California, Connecticut, Idaho,
Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Mime
sofa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska
New Hampshire, New York, North
Carolina, North Dakota, South
Dakota, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Washington, West Virginia
and Wisconsin. All the states
holding elections this year, with a
few exceptions, will electgovernors.

The Mississippi river in many
respect, is a remarkable stream.
Including the Missouri, it is 4,1oo
miles long, the longest in the
world, except, perhaps the Nile,
the exact length of which is not
yet determined. Its system drains
all area of I,I47, 900 square miles
on which there is a rainfall OF
$4,000, ooo, 900 cubic feet, of which
the river carries away IS, ,eoo, 900,
900. At New Orleans it is 1000
feet wide, and though at the bends
it broadens to a mile or a mile and
half, this remains the average
width for 1000 miles, the junction
with it of many important streams
making it deeper but no wider. 1t
annually transports to the gulf
SI2, 500, 900, 900, pounds of sedi-
ment, or enough to cover a square
mile of ground 241 feet deep.
More money has been spent in its
Improvement than on any other
stream on the globe and still it
remains almost unmanageable.
Several of the populist leaders
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1896-06-18

Several of the populist leaders
are loudly proclaiming that the
republicans have counted Wander
burg out and Tongue in. 1t is
just a trifle mysterious that all the
mistakes that have been discovered
should be on the vote for congress
man alone, and on no other; and
that the mistakes should invariably
be in favor of Tongue and against
Vanderburg.

DEEPEST WATER EVER FOUND

DEEPEST WATER EVER FOUND.
Some spots have recently been
found in the South Pacific Ocean
where the the water is deeper than
anywhere hitherto known.
The surveying ship Penguin while
returning from !thc Tonga group to
New Zealand, has sounded in three
places where the depth exceeds 5 900
fathoms. Up to the present the
deepest water found vas to tho
northeastward OF Japan, where, in
1874, the United States steamer
Tuscarora obtained cast OF 4 G65
fathoms.
The Penguin's soundings are
5,022. 5,147 and 5,155 fathoms.
The increase is, therefore, five hun
dred fathoms.
These soundings are separated
from one another by water much
less deep, and the holes may not be
connected. The distance from the
two extreme soundings is four hun.
dred and fifty miles. Specimens
OF the bottom were recovered from
the two deeper soundings and prove
to lie the usual red clay found in all
the deepest parts Of oceans. These
soundings afford additional evil
dence of the observed fact that the
deepest holes are not in the centers
Of the oceans, but are near land, as
two of them are within one hundred
miles of islands of the Kermadec
group and the other not far from
a shoal.
Doubtless deeper depressions in
the bed of the sea are yet to be
found; but the fact that this sound
ing of 30,9 feet shows that the
ocean cantains depression below
the surface greater than the ele-
yation of the highest known noun.
tain is perhaps worthy of record.

"WIsHBoSE" PENwIPRR.-The
''wish-bone" pen wiper is a clever
idea for the small boy or girl to
make for mamma or papa as an
Easter gift. II is a simple little
affair. but is really useful for the
writing desk. A good sized wish
bone is required for the foundation.
The head is made upon the upper
portion of the bone by applying
black sealing wax, with white beads
for eyes. On the head is set a cap
Of red cloth. Several circles of red
cloth are prepared, edged with
beads; through these the head is
thrust, the legs appearing beneath
the edge Of the skirt. Sealing wax
also forms the feet. On the cloth
skirts, which act as pen wipers,
these lines are printed:
Once was a wish-bone
And grew upon a hen;
Now am a little slave
And made to wipe pen.

In the New York cat show there
were several animals valued at sums
ranging from 800 to 81. 500 apiece.
Audubon tells of a gray sea eagle
which was captured in the year 17l5

years-in captivity.

An immense eagle was recen tly

REPUBLICAN, TICKET.
JOHN SHERMAN.

A correspondent OF some of the news
papers started the story that Senator
Sherman had decided not to seek the
nomination and election to the United
States senate, but the veteran senator
branded it as falsehOOd at once. The
general assembly, which will elect a
successor to Senator Sherman, will not
be chosen until November 1897, and Mr..
Sherman's term will not expire until
March 4, 1895. He was elected to the
lower house of congress in October, 1854,
and took his seat March 4, 1865, and
served continuously until March 20, 1861,
when he was elected to fill the uneXpir-
ed term of s. P. Chase, who resigned to
accept position in President Lincoln's
cabinet. Mr.. Sherman then served con-
tinOusly in the senate until March 4, 1877,
when he resigned to accept of position
in President Hayes cabinet, which he
served until March I, 1881, when he en-
tered the senate again and remained
until the present.
If he lives to complete his present term
he will have served his country for forty
four consecutive years. The time will
be divided as follows: In the lower house,
six years and sixteen days; in the treas
ury department, four years; in the SELL
ate, thirty-three years, eleven months
and fourteen days.

Cadiz special dispatch, say that though

yet is not ready to receive her guns,
the work being done at snails pace
and Shoddy material being used. A re-

GREAT STORM IN MICHIGAN.

Wind and Rain Cause Great Havoc Over
Large Extent of Territory.
DETROIT, Mich, July IS. The storm
which swept over Michigan Sunday
afternoon did much damage in many
places At Worthwhile the heavy rain
fall caused the river Rogue to leave
its banks, flooding the shops of the
Globe Furniture Co, and carried away
lumber and many small buildings, The
losses will aggregate $4,000.
In and around Mount Clemens light
ming did much damage. Warren re-
ports that many barns were struck by
lightning and burned near there. John
Measles house was struck by a holt
and Measle and Mrs Diehl were Sc
verely injured.
At Three Rivers the storm was of a
cyclonic nature. The streets are
blockaded with trees that were up
rooted; the roof of the Methodist Epis-
copal church was partially torn off and
the electric light and telephone sys-
TENS nearly demolished Reports from
wiz SOuhOAJ SuoO ullSA WObu VI III SC
Rivers say the damage to crops is very
heavy. The section around Battle
Creek also suffered severely.
HOMER, Mich, July 2S.-A terrible
wind storm struck this village Sunday
evening. Roofs were lifted, houses
partly blown away, barns tipped over
and over half of the fine maple trees
about the town were blown down.
The worst part of the cyclone passed a
little to the northwest of the town.
GALENA, ILL.,, July 2S.-Galena ex-
perienced another food Sunday night,
in many respects as disastrous as that
of two months ago. Swelling streams
caused a rapid rise of the Galena river,
which soon reached high water mark,
flooding cellars and lower floors of
buildings. Much property which suf-
fered from the late flood had been re-
paired and was a second time wrecked.
