Milton and Dollie Mobiles represent a
type of plays, intensely American, of
which they easily stand at the head.

intense interest.
The fame of Milton Mobiles is as broad
as the continent. He has justly been
christened "the representative Ameri-
can player and playwright He has
had scores of imitators. but no rivals in
his sphere. He writes exclusively
American plays, dealing with native
themes, and pregnant with tangible
types of American character. In the
field of dramatic literature he may be
said to have created sphere of his own.
Both as an actor and writer he has been
the founder of school. He has written
plays that will survive the author, which

tributed from Northup, the Oregonian
candidate for congress. In many res.
poets the election today is a personal
canvass, which cannot but result in a
great number of scratched tickets. The
chief local fights are being made on
county judge, sheriff and clerk. For
the other county offices it is believed the
party ticket will generally be followed
By the respective adherents.
Nothing is obtainable upon which to
base prediction for single name on
the ticket. The strong fight, which is
being made for Bennett, and local
pride which exists because of his resi-
dence in The Dalles, might give him a
plurality. Otherwise Ellis would have
received a majority. Quinn will poll a
larger vote than has been generally con-
ceeded.

into the water. He was considerable

He waded out almost exhausted, but

A Death at tine cascaues.

Coroner Butts was called to the Cas-
cades Saturday to hold an inquest over
the remains of VIM. G. King. The re-
port of the grand jury contains the es-
sential facts which are as follows:
We, the undersigned, the Jury duly
empanelled by w. H. Butts, coroner of
Wasco county, Oregon, to inquire into
the case of the death Of the body now
before us after hearing all the testimony
of the different witnesses called and
sworn by said coroner find as follows:
That the name of said deceased was
Wm. G. King, of about the age of 53
years, and came to this country from
Marlborough, Mass; that he had no
known relatives in this state so far as
known and was single man. That the
cause of his death was from an acci-
dental fall off of bridge No. 70, in the
eastern portion of Cascade Locks, said
bridge belonging to the o. R.. & N. Co.,
which resulted in the death of said de-
ceased; that said deceased came to his
death as above indicated, on the 29th
day of May, 1895, falling from said
bridge between the houre of and
O'Clock p. M, the exact time of which is
not now known. but from the testimony
of the witnesses we believe that said ac-
cident happened about o'clock p. M. of
said day. And in conclusion we find
that no blame attaches to any person as
the cause of said death, but that the
death of said deceased was purely acci-
dental and could not be avoided and
caused either through his infrmity or
unavoidable accident.

RESPECT FOR BOOKS.

The measure of respect man has
for libraries in themselves. no matter
how little he reads or how averse he
may be to spending money for books,
is an index to his character and value
to the community Of which he is a
part. The value of public library is
felt and appreciated as much by those
who seldom read as by the class who
make the most use@of books. The av-
erage man of any town, though he
may begrudge its cost, is always proud
to boast of the local library. He re-
CARDS its growth with interest and en-
ters it's doors with local pride. 1t is
considered an evidence of culture to
possess library, and house will sell
better if there is a room therein re-
served for books; the respect for books
extending to their surroundings. AS
all men respect knowledge of which
they have but vague conception, they
regard library as the repository OF
all wisdom, viewing it's golden treas
ures very much as the savage does the
arts of civilization, as something tt
respect, something to desire. r. M.

BE HONEST.

What do you think of man who
owes money that he is not able to pay,
vet who can wear fine clothes, spend
money for various luxuries and allow
his family to dress fine and other like
things, as though he was out of debt
and had money ahead? Well, it strikes
us that his sense of honesty is not as
acute as it should be. A man who
owes money that should be paid,
should spend only what is necessary
for his subsistence and his family
should do the same, and he should be
up and doing early and late till the last
farthing is paid. And if he has that
high sense of honor that he should
have this is the course he will take. 1t
is not a sin to owe people If you see
reasonable way to pay them when the
debt is made, but it is sin and
shame to owe people and then not
make the proper efforts to pay them
by economy in every way possible and
by close application to some legitimate
business. We will make sacrifices to
be honest if we have the gem in our
hearts. Monroe On. c. Enquirer.

THE STANDARD OF SUCCESS.

In nothing is the spiritual ignorance
and unthinking state of mankind so
manifest as in the standard whereby
the success or failure of the individual
is judged. In the opinion of the aver
age man or woman the measure of
success attained by his or her fellow
beings is guaged by the amount of
money they possess, irrespective OF the
means by which it was obtained. What
an individual is as to character, morals,
etc., is not counted; it is by his materi-
al possessions he is judged. 1t is no
wonder that with the degrading idea so
prevalent that ones success or failure
in life shall be measured by his success
or failure to acquire money. that no.
bility of character and purity of mind
and heart are so little cultivated. One
may lead truly honest, moral life, in
every sense of the term, but if he has
no wealth he is spoken of as failure,
and treated with contempt. Under
these circumstances it is not strange
that one so often hears the expression
"You can't trust any body!" The own
ership of property is exalted above
every Divine attribute-justice, un
selfshness, mercy, goodness, etc.
How common it is to hear people
when discussing political candidates
for instance, speak of their fitness TO
the place in this way: "He has mad
success of life. He is rich! He
the man we want!" Or, with a sneel
"He never made any money! He
not worth dollar! We don't wan
himr'

Did you ever hold nickel close to
the eye? Try it, and you will find that
it will shut out entirely all view OF
everything before you, says writer.
Hold it off and you will see that it is
scarcely large enough to hide a blade
of grass. And so my dear Lilliputians,
it is with our little troubles. The closer
we hold them to us the bigger they
seem. One little worry can make all
the world dark for us, shutting out the
sunshine just like the nickel, but we
must put that worry just as far away
from us as possible, and the farther
away it is the smaller it will grow, un-
til finally it has dwindled down to
nothing. Forum.
