I'm a Peaceful Woman

Kate Cody was brought before Judge
Mckinley yesterday and entered herself
as exhibit one during the hearing of the
case. She was a fractions old woman
and possessed rich, rolling brogue
that emphasized and accentuated the
cuss words as they rolled off her tongue.
She was unsubduable and remained SO
to the end.
1t appeared that she with her husband
live in a tent between Third and Fourth
streets on Alameda. The husband is
teamster and while he is away at work
the boys in the neighborhood delight in
teaZing the old woman who is somewhat
light headed.
A Mrs. Potter testified to the insane
vagaries of the defendant and stated
that she increased her excitement by
getting drunk
That aroused the old woman's ire.
Il get drunk, do 1? You're telling lies,
you are, right at that table. It's him."
pointing at her husband, that don't
want to make living for me, that's it."
The witness resumed her testimony
after this interruption, and told how the
accused would go down on her knees,
calling upon God to curse the tribe of
boys both collectively and individually
She cussed them by name and also in
the bunch.
"Arrah! an it's a liar you are, sure
Mrs. Potter" interjected Mrs. Cody,
land ye never invited me into your house
and you've known me for nine years."
and with the words the accused sat de-
family in her chair. Very soon her feel
ings again got the better of her and she
threw string of cuss words a the wit
ness that occasioned her removal from
the room.
Each witness testified to the excitabil-
ity of the accused, one who failed to
adequately describe her condition say
ing she made "a - of a racket" al
though he did mt thing her plumb" crazy.
He estimated that about 1000 children
lived in that district and they relieved
themselves in detachments in making
life misery to the old woman.
The charge of insanity not having been
fully sustained, the old woman was dis
charged with warning.

An Insinuated Fraud

At the time of the separation of F. A..
Hammond and his wife Allie Hammond
in September last, a note for $1,000 was
given to the wife upon which only $500
has been paid. Inasmuch as Mr.. Ham,
mond has decided his property to his
grandchild his ex-wife conceived the
idea that he intended to defraud her
out of the $500 still due on the note, and
grandchild.
The case came up for trial before Judge
Clark yesterday. The testimony ad-
duced did not seem to indicate fraud
upon the part of Mr.. Hammond and the
case was submitted to be argued on
briefs hereafter.

A statement made by an Eastern
Oregon paper that The Dalles is the
best wool market in the state east of
Portland fails to state the fact cor
rectlv. The Dalles is much better
wool market than Portland; in fact
since the granting of terminal rates
to shippers from this city, Portland
has ceased to figure to any great ex-
tent as wool emporium. Wool is
hauled hundreds of miles to The
Dalles, sales are effected and con-
signments made direct to Boston. or
whatever city the Eastern destina-
tion may be. The buyers have rec
ognized this place as the great wool
shipping point, and during the season
buyers are to be found in The Dalles
instead of in Portland as formerly.
This fact itself shows the Importance
attached to this city as wool mar
ket,

600. A. NJ. Williams is putting up an
additional store adjoining his property,
to cost $4,000 Besides these, there are
a number of private residences going up,
while other buildings are being raised
and improved. There is healthy feel
ing there in anticipation of large out
put of wool and general confidence in
the future of The Dalles that speaks we'll
fer the enterprising spirit of its citizens.
The expected opening of the locke,
which will give uninterrupted water
a general distributing point, also tend
to boom the place.

IMPARTIAL COMMENT.

The transactions in Portland last
Thursday during the Republican pri-
maries will be a cause of chagrin TO
decent members of the party
throughout the state. Although the
information which comes 10 US is
colored one way because the Orego-
nian and its protege, the Telegram,
are controlled by one faction,
enough is learned to reach the con-
clusion that the day was the most
disgraceful in the history of Repub-
lican politics in Oregon.
Two factions arrayed against one
another in bitter enmity, strove for
supremacy. On both sides were
men of good character and influence
in the councils of state; on both
sides were the riff-raff, buns, float
ers, ward-strikers, and all species
that 60 to make up disreputable pol
itics.
Joseph Simon, the self crowned
ruler of Portland, hobnobing with
Larry Sullivan, disreputable tough,
prizefghter and leader of men
among whom piece of money is the
strongest argument. This is pure
politics with vengeance. Henry
McGinn, a judge upon the bench, a
partisan with Simon, leaving the
high and honorable position to which
he Lad been appointed by the grace
of God and Governor Lord, and
mingling in fight from which every
member of the Judiciary should be
absent.
To one who watched the affair
from distance it looks as if the
whole thing were merely a case of
the ''pot calling the kettle black"
The Oregonian, with its eulogies of
Simon, cannot make that ubiquitous
individual appear more sanity in
the eyes of those who have watched
his career. Neither can any admi-
ration for District Attorney Hume's
fighting qualities blind people to the
fact that he is salary grabber and
a man who is for Hume first and
possibly for the people afterward.
We cannot look upon the victory
of Simon as triumph for good gov
ernment; neither would we had
Mimic, Frank and Hume won. The
men named are away down in the
category of good citizenship. They
represent themselves and their sell
fish ends, and the interests of Port
land are as badly off in the hands of
one as the other. AS we say, there
are good men on both sides, but for
the leaders, all that can be said is
that they are professional politicians,
searching for spoils.
The course of the Oregonian will
not commend itself to unprejudiced
people. However sublime may be
the trust that the Oregonian has in
Simon, it is not shared by people
generally.
Portland is suffering from too
much politics. It's citizens need
some good government,for change,
but we doubt exceedingly if either

A Tree Growing In a ship.

A tree growing in an abandoned ship
is one OF the odd features of Suisun bay,
one of CALIFORNIA; inland swamps, that
are dgnified with hgh-sounding geo.
graphical names. The tree reaches up
from 10 to 20 feet above the deck OF the
sloop, while its roots are probably sunk
in the mud underneath.
What the name of the sloop was or the
length of time II has been lying In its
present. position are things past finding
out When the vessel was in good shape
she was a craft Of about 40 feet in length
and eight feet beam. When abandoned
she was hauled onto the mud at high
tide and has since sunk so deep as to
become immovable. The place where the
hull Is stuck is what would be called
good "tule land" as there Is a fine
growth OF that reed in the vicinity. The
bottom OF the boat has rotted away. and
they have formed quite a growth inside
the kgll. large numbers of them poking
through the matches. A peculiar thing
will be noticed in the growth, and that
Is that they grow straight up as stiff as
a bayonet. instead Of having the grace
full sweep so common under ordinary
conditions.
How the tree came TO grow in the boat
Is a mystery. but most likely the seed
blew into the old hull from some OF the
trees on the surrounding hlllsides.
Close examination would be a difficult
and disagreeabe matter. but seen from
shore IL appears 70 be a specimen OF live
