Questions .sase Truth.

Ina recent Issue OF the East Orego-
nian appeared an item in which two
ladies, Mrs. H G. Lewis and Miss Ray
Robbins, asserted that they had been
robbed of $168, the proceeds of lecture
they alleged they gave in Baker City
The ladies' stated to the East Oregonian
as follows: "Their misfortune was
caused by some alleged thief who robbed
them of $l6S cash, which the ladies had
as door receipts for lecture they gave
in Baker City. They came from the
opera house IN the evening with the
money in sack, when some one in the
darkness snatched the sack, leaving
them almost without funds. They came
on to Rendleton, where they expected to
give an entertainment similar to that
given in Baker City, but here received
word that caused them to go on to Port
land on the Friday evening train. Eff
forts to apprehend the thief whom the
women allege stole their money at Baker
City, were unavailIng."
In answer to the statement of the
ladies, the Baker City Democrat replies I:
''The women referred to were in Baker
City last week. Mrs. Lewis gave lee
ture at the opera house and her subject
was: "A Theory in Tatters.' Her au-
dience was slim one and the receipts
were more likely $1.6s than $16s 90. So
small, indeed, that Mrs. Lewis very
probably borrowed the funds necessary
to pay her expenses. How she could
have been robbed and no one here being
advised of it. is strange"

Has NO PROTECTION.

A few minutes after S clock Mon
day week fire broke out in the
bake shop of Daniel Null in Milton,
and the structure was gutted. A boy
had built fire in the oven and had
gone to attend to the horse. On bis
return he found the shop on fire. The
exact origin of the blaze is not known.
Mr.. Mull's loss wi be several hun.
dred dollars, partially covered by in
surance. The structure was owned
by Mrs. G.. w. Imbody, whose loss is
$500, which is covered by insurance.
Some time ago the borough and
water company became involved in a
controversy, the former refusing to
pay certain rent for ylrants unless
the company would increase the size
of their mains. This the company
refused to do, and unless the borough
came to an agreement the plugs were
to have been dismantled on a certain
date The time expired several weeks
ago and the fire of Monday morning
was the first since the date the dis.
mantling of the plugs was to have
taken place.
Monday morning some of the
neighbors were rot content to let
their properties be endangered and
they procured a wrench from the
engine house with which they turned
on water from the hydrant. This was
done without the consent of either
the water company or the borough
authorities, and created a great deal
OF excitement. The engine was in
service at the canal. What effect
this fire may have on the dispute
remains to be seen.

And the Editor Got =

Here is an obituary notice that is
calorihc IN the extreme. Another
strange thing about it is that it ap-
peared in a reputable western news
paper. 1t wasn't a Missouri editor,
but Missouri printers devil who was
going through his first experience of
making up FORMS" The paper was
late and the boy got his galleys mixed.
The first part of an obituary of an
impecunious citizen had been dump
ed in the forms and the next handful
of type came from galley describing
a recent fire 1t read like this +" The
pail bearers lowered the body to the
grave, and as it was consigned to the
flames there were few if any regrets,
for the old wreck had been an eyesore
to the town for years. OF course
there was an individual loss, but that
was fully covered by insurance. The
widow thinks that the editor wrote
the obituary that way because the
lamented partner of her joys and sor.
rows owed him five years subscrip
tion.

Bargain in Wolf Scalps.

BY the confession of one Of the
persons implicated, the particulars of
a unique story has just come to light
in the lower end of 1'ioga county.
Last fall, when Charles Lees circus
returned to Canton to 60 into winter
quarters, the sheriff sold him out.
Among the animals in the menageries
were three prairie wolves, which were
sold for SO cents each to Charles
Kerby, of Cedar Ledge. He kept
them chained in his dooryard until
cold weather set in, when a bright
thought struck him. With the aid
of two men from Canton the beasts
were put in box and hauled into i
forest away back in Liberty township,
where they were shot. Although
wolves have been extinct in Penn
sylvania for many years, there is an
old law giving Sro bounty for wolf
scalps. Kerby took the three pelts
to the Office of Justice of the Peace
DeCoursey, where he made affidavit
that he killed them within the baili-
wick of Tloga, got the $50 bounty and
went home happy.

A LIST OF AOQUAlETANOES.

A small party seated in the Manhat-
tan club the other night was discuss
ing the question of acquaintances.
One well known lawyer said he knew
as many people as any one man in
the room, he did not care who he was.
l asked if he could say how many &C.
quaintances he had-not friends mere.
ly but persons known casually and
slightly, says the New York Press.
After thinking it over he said,
SO, ooo."
81 bet $50 to S5," said another of
the party, "that you cannot name
1000 persons Of your acquaintance,
and give you all night to do it." The
bet was made, and the lawyer began,
friend keeping tally.
When, after two hours of hard
thinking, he had reached between 500
and 600 he was going very slow and
straining terribly. At midnight he
was so far from the 1000 mark that
the party broke up in disgust.

there ave FIVE mel in the United States
who are acquainted personally with
10000 people. Dan Lamont, secre-
tary of war, is said to know more faces
than any other man. He made a
study of faces when Mr.. Cleveland's

sable to the president. II might be
said that there are many politicians
who know more than 10000 people
personally, but you can't rely upon a
political acquaintance. The politi.
clan has way Of pretending to know
every living man who has a vote.

Will Illumiue the Mine.

Preparations are now being made
to light the bottom of the No. 3 slope
at the Enterprise colliery at Shamokin
with electricity. When this work is
completed, which will be within a
week, the Enterprise will be the first
mine in that section of the state to
discard the old method of illumination
in any portion of its workings.
Everything is now in readiness for
lighting the gangway, which is three
thousand feet in length, but the string
ing of the wire. Just how many lamps
will be placed in the gangway at the
present time could not be learned, but
the number will be sufficient to make
that portion of the working bright
enough for all practical purposes.

Pennsylvania's New Industries.

The bureau of industrial statistics
is preparing an interesting report on
number of comparatively new indus
tries in Pennsylvania. A feature of
the report will be an elaborate treat
ment of the tinplate industry, showing
its early trials and development, to-
gether with illustrations OF the various
stages of the manufacture of tin from
the steel billet to the finished product.
The silk industry of the state will also
form an interesting feature of the
report. Comparative returns will
likewise be given from iron and steel,
glass textile and other manufactures
for the past four years. Comparisons
will be made from the same plants
for each of these years, showing the
number of employees, aggregate wages,
total product of manufactures, value
of plants and average wages paid.

H. d. Himmelrch, of Lewisburg,
one of the lumber kings OF the West
Branch country, says that unless all
signs fail, and signs are usually wiped
out by floods, the run of timber down
the West Branch of the Susquehanna
on the spring freshets will double that
of last year, and the quality of timber
will be better. Some RATS of round
pine logs, sealed at Deer Creek, up
in the Clinton land, footed up 34o,o 900
feet, board measure. Many fine RATS
of good hemlock are going in for the
run, and with plenty of snow the
lumbermen will crowd the Lock
Haven and Williamsport booms.

THE LYON. DUNN CONTEST,

Judge Ikeler, of Columbia county
Craig, of Carbon, and Ehrgood, of
Lebanon, appointed by Governor
Hastings to conduct the Lyon. Dunn
election contest convened at Potts.
vile last week. Two weeks ago the
court heard argument offered by
counsel for Judge Dunn to quash the
contest on the ground that the
Orphans Court Judge was county
office, therefore the proceedings were
illegal that the Act of May, 1874,
under which the contest was brought,
does not apply to said Office that 1t
was the duty of the Governor to have
appointed Judge Cyrus l.. Pershing
one of the judges to hear the contest I;
that it was manifest disregard and
omission of the law not to have done
So, and that therefore the present
commission has no authority in law.
The counsel for Judge Lyon contend
ed that these same reasons had been
argued before the Attorney General.
and protested against unnecessary
delays.
Judge Ikeler, in lengthy and able
opinion, decided that the commission
was legally formed that it was the
proper tribunal before which to con-
duct the contest, and that the motion
to quash the contest was overruled,
and that the contest should proceed.
The opinion was signed by Judges
keller, Craig, and Ehrgood.
An order was also handed down
directing that the ballot boxes con-
tanning the votes cast at the last
general election must be held secure
and the votes deposited therein pre-
served, and that the Sheriff is to serve
notice to this effect upon those who
are the custodlans of the ballot boxes.
1t will be impossible to reach these
ballot boxes, says the court, before
the elections, February IS, 1896, and
therefore duplicate boxes must be
provided, as the present ballot boxes
must not be disturbed or opened until
tne court snail So direct
This means that the County Com
mlssloners must provide new ballot
boxes for the 143 election districts in
the county. Each ballot box costs
about $3.50 which would mean an
outlay of about S64o for this purpose.
These must be furnished for the
election on Tuesday, February IS.
The Sheriff shall serve a copy of
the foregoing order upon each person
or persons having the custody of said
ballot boxes or papers and also upon
the County Commissioners within 10
days from this date, service of said
copy upon the Commissioners to be
made within 4S hours from this date.
The Sheriff is to be paid out of the
county funds for his services the same
as he is now paid for serving regular
notices
The Sheriffs fees will be about
$3.50 for this work and this expense
coupled with the cost of the new
ballot boxes brings the first expense
ordered by the court up to about
$1,000.
Before adjourning the court an
nounced that the next session of the
court will be held Friday, February 7,
at ? p. m.-Ashland 4dcocate.

About Mistakes.

If a doctor makes a mistake he
buries it; if a merchant makes a mis-
take he never tells it; if a lawyer
makes a mistake he crawls out of it,
but if an editor makes a mistake he
puts it on large sheet of paper for
the world to look at, and in every
community there are cranks who
think they are models of wisdom be-
cause they occasionally discover them.

The man who eats because he is
hungry is, thus far, on level with the
brutes. The man who stops eating the
moment his hunger is appeased is the
wise man. Nature needs no more
food than she calls for. Continued
excess brings about indigestion or
dyspepsia, with loss of flesh, strength,
sleep, ambition and mental power
and an accumulation of aches, pains
and many dangerous local malades.
The stomach nop can do nothing
aone. We must appeal to some
artihcially digested TODD which can
also digest other foods. That is to say,
we must use the Shaker Digestive
Cordial. The effect is prompt and
cheering. The chronic pain and
distress ceases. Appetite presently
revives. Flesh and vigor gradually
come back, and the sufferer RECEIVERS.
But he must be careful in future. A
