the latter place to the mouth of Kick

; Things are not as they should be =
when apples are brought from New {
York to Oregon, but the shortage in ;.
the apple crop last season has made :,
this reverse order necessary, and
quantity CT New York apples are on
sale at Van Bibber & Worsley's. They "
appear to be about equal to the aver Il
age Oregon product though they will 8
not compare with the best quality pro- c
duced here.
A rather peculiar case has been COM :
menced in Justice Filloon's court,
growing out of an election bet. Siias :.
Osborn made wager of $40 that Nc
Kinley would not carry Oregon by
1000 plurality, the stakes being de- II
posted with Dan Baker. Since T. T. q
Geer, one of the Mckinley electors re- v
ceived owe. 1000 plurality, while the c
Others did not, Mr.. Baker is undecided c

The "bucket.shop' business in o
Salem has brought its proprietors into
trouble, as well as its patrons to grief.

of relieving its manager, E. S. Eller, Il
today, and placing E. c. Holsinger in IL
charge. The proprietors of -the La
"bucket-shop'' are F. p Taikington v
and James Bessger. 1t seems thriv- pl
i.g business has been done lately, and VI
there have been some pretty heavy Il
losses. There are allegations of fraud, b
which, it is charged, was made possible b
by bogus dispatches that the Western
Union manager permitted to be sent .
out on the office blanks. The "bucket-
shop" business Is one OF the worst :,
styles of wheat gambling. and it will : :
not be amiss if the proprietors get into | =
the pen. ..
