There was a genuine lady in the city
yesterday who came from the far off
sunny South. We know she was a per-
feet lady because she told us so, and she
told every body else so too. Nothing but
her gray hairs and the fact that she was
woman prevents us saying something
mean about her. She made life bur-
den to everyone she came within reach
of her long-distance voice. "She's gone,
she's gone, we don't know where, and
we don't care either, so long as she does
not wander back again."

Two splendid Sermons.

Bishop Cranston delivered two SER
mons yesterday that were both mastery
efforts. The subject of the morning
sermon was Natural Difficulties in a
Divine Revelation" He gave the con-
gregation the choice of three texts
Psalms /: i. Hebrewsi:2 2 and II Corinthi-
ans xii:4. The church was filled at this
service, and that the sermon was appre-
ciated was evinced by the packed condi-
ton of the room in the evening. The
subject of the evening discourse was
''The Divine Spiritual Force" and it
was one of the strongest sermons ever
preached from Dalles pulpit.
The bishop lectures tonight in the
Methodist church on the subject of
Professor Satan.'. Those who heard
either of the sermons will be certain to
attend the lecture, and those who did
not will miss literary treat if they fail
to hear him.

enRe. These horses are not worth 81
apiece. There is absolutely no market
for them. Up to three years ago we
were shipping horses east in large num-
bers. Electricity and bicycles have
killed the market. This year Traffic
Manager Hannaford, of the Northern
Pacific, has made vigorous efforts to
find a market for horses in the east.
Glue factories and rendering establish
ments of various kinds have been Of
fered horses very cheap. They do not
want them. A few carloads are being
shipped to the Atlantic coast for ship
ment to France, where horse meat is in
demand, but these shipments make no
impression on the supply. The horses
are destroying the ranges twelve months
in the year. There are over 1000
head in Eastern Washington and they
are destroying ranges that would sup
port 100000 head of cattle. The situa-
tion is really appalling, viewed from the
cattleman's s standpoint.

eLKs MEMORIAL SERVICES.
An Occasion That WIN be Long Re-
membered.

The memorial services f the B. P. o..
yesterday deserve More than passing
mention. It was/the first, occasion of
the kind here and the beautiful cere-
monies were witnessed by a large and
apprecIative audience.
After the opening ceremonies prayer
was offered up by Rev. w. @. Curtis.
followed by a hymn by the double quar-
tette, consisting of Misses Rose and
Myrtle Michel, Beulah/ Patterson and
Alma Schmidt, and Nessrs. q. J. Gran
dali, R. G. Davenport, Chas. Stubling
and Arthur Clark. This was followed
by the recitation ofH'.Thanatopsis" by
Exalted Ruler John Michel, and it was
given in manner toSadd to, or rather to
draw out, new ideas from the crandest
poem known to our language. A hymn
followed, and then Judge Bradshaw de-
livered beautiful and touching eulogy
on the departed brethren ,/nis address
taking wide range, and Illustrating the
beauties and benefits of the order.
After another hymn by the quartette,
Mr.. F. w. Wilson pronoHnced an eulogy
on the brethren gone/before, that was
one of the most touching and most eo-
quent addresses we have ever listened
to. It was word painting, each word
apparently fitted to the grand mosaic of
language as by a master mind. It was a
prose poem, the sentences flowing SO met
rically that it was difficult to tell where
the poetical quotations made by the
speaker began orr ended. We have
In the course of soneRhat varied life
heard many addresses, Bot we say with
out flattery to our gifse young towns
man. that his eulogy Yesterday was the
finest thing of the kind we ever heard.
1t deserves to be preserved in print, a
model for all future occasions, and one
that many may initiate, but few
equal. As we listened to our
eloquent young friend, the frag-
ment of a poem written by the truest
poet the South has ever produced foated
across our mind, and it seemed that we
were listening to exactly those things
the poet declared unattainable. The
fragment as we recollect it runs:
| ''There are billows far out on the ocean
That never shall break on the beach:
There are songs have heard in the silence
l. hat never shall float into speech;
| There are thoughts have had in the midnight
! Too lofty for language to reaeh.'

Henry Steinberger, Jr., Walla Wal
la boy, who lives with his parents near
the o. R. & n. dedot, is. Dy lucky in
vention, in a fair way to become inde-
pendently rich. For some months past
Henry has been studying the insulators
ON the telephone and telegraph poles
with view to improving the same, and
after some hard thinking his patent is
about completed. The invention can be
attached to telephone or telegraph poles
in a much shorter time than the old
cross pieces and glass insulators now
used. The new insulator will cost about
.one-third of the old ones, and it is gem
orally adopted will be worth at least a
quarter OF million dollars to the inven-
tor.

voted to inventions and patents, in are

the inventor, together with his picture.

The Cayuse Nuisance.

Regarding the proposed determination
of the range horses, E. F. Benson, of the

has made a special study of the situation,
says:
"Hot winds: squirrels and grasshop-
pers are bad, but the horse pest is be-
coming still worse in Eastern Washing
ton, particularly the cayuse variety.
Horses have become so cheap that many
bands are running loose without being
branded or cared for in the least. There
being no demand, they have multiplied
rapidly and are now eating bunch grass
that should otherwise support thousands

EMPLOYEES TAKE STOCK.

CHICAGO, Dec. I5,-Ilinois Central railroad
officials have before th-:n the applications of
1900 employees of that road who desire to pur-
chase the company's stock. These applications
are coming in at the rate of between $50 and
300 a month.
The Illinois Central employs 22, 900 men,
More than one-fourh of the employees of the
company are now stock holders, and it is thouet
onc-half will soon he enrolled.
In the success OF the plan of making the EN-
ployes financially interested with the eXecu-
tives, it is believed the company has taken
formal step in the direction of solving the strike
problem and teaching the laborng classes the
value of ecouomy Stuyvesant Fish, president
of the company, is the author of the plan which
no other railroad in the world has yet adopted
although is success has been proved after
months of experiment. Large manufacturing
concerns and other corporations are addressing
the Illinois Central for information as to how
the scheme has worked and if it can be applied
to other industries.

UNIFORMITY OF TEXTBOOKS.

Prof. Stryker, the newly-elected state super
intendent of public instruction, says:
"Thousands of dollars can be saved to the
people of Kansas, and, | think, better results
attained by a county or state uniformity OF
text books, either by contract or publication,
and the districts should purchase the books.
The use of textbooks should be as free as in
structon By state contract, the same books
in Indiana cost just about half the retail price
in Kansas AS a result of the reduced price,
one-lalf of the money nov paid out might be
saved"
