Alexander the Great Started tho Fashion
of Shaving.
The confessor of Francis III. Of
France refused him dissolution until he
had completely removed his beard. An
ancient German was by tribal custom
not allowed to cut off his flowing beard
until he had killed his first man in bat
tie. About the year 200 B. G. the Roman
Emperor Scipio Africanus inaugurated
the custom of shaving among the Ro-
man mobiles. Henry l. of England wore
beard until a courageous preacher
ieveied his eloquence at him to such
good purpose that he submitted to be
shaved. From the time of Julius Caesar
until the advent of William the Con-
oueror the Britons wore mustaches, but
the clergy, after the conversion of the
islanders, were forced to shave by law.
One of the early popes established the
shaving of Roman Catholic priests TO
distinguish them from the patriots o.
Constantinople. The priests of the
Greek church still wear boards. Peter
the Great of Russia laid tax on boards
and delinquents were forced to have
their faces shaved with a blunt razor
or to have the hairs pulled out with
pincers. So everybody shaved. The
first shaving was done by order of Al
exander the Great, who forced the
Greek warriors to cut off their boards,
as he found them awkward impedi-
ments in the hand-to-hand contests Of

COUNTING OF THE VOTES.
In Recent Elections There Has Been Lit
tie Fraud In New York.

In Recent Elections There Has Been Lit
tie Fraud in New York.
The counting of votes has been in
the past more fruitful of trickery and
Justification than any other part Of
the election process. In 1893 the car
vassers in certain districts reduced the
matter to it's lowest terms by simply
reporting unanimous vote on their
side, and then going out to fling up their
hats for the rest of the night. In the
subsequent election competent and IT,
corTuptible men supervised the canvass
so strictly that the percentage of fraud
was so small, if any existed, as never to
be heard of. This watching, says a
writer in Century, at the count not only
prevented intentional lying, but savel
accidental mistakes. In one case the
board of inspectors confessed they did
not know how 10 count the votes, and
submitted entirely to the guidance of
well-informed watcher.
The counting is done in public, and
is often an interesting sight. Every or
ganization and each candidate may
send representative to observe il,
though nobody but the inspectors is
permitted to touch the ballots. The
straight tickets are first counted in tens
by four men in succession, and tally
is kept by at least two assistants. Each
name is credited with as many votes
as there are tickets for his side. Then
one inspector reads off of those tickets
which are 'split," or have pastors at
tached, or upon which names have been
erased or new names written, and each
candidate is credited with vote every
time his name appears. When this is
finished the most prominent Office is
aiken up, and the sum of the votes for
each candidate is ascertained.

A WALL OF WOOD.
MI, Seufert's Belief why The DaIIes
Fishermen Are Unsuccessful.

The fishermen have about given up
hope that they will make any treat
catches of fish this season. Thinking
that there must be a good reason for
this condition OF affairs, reporter saw
Mr.. Seufert this morning and asked him
If he knew why it was that the catch
was so light. replied that he thought
he did. At the Cascades there are two
wheels on opposite sides of the river
which have made phenomenal catches
every day of the season. While they
have been fortunate, the catches above
were insignificant. Therefore the con-
clusion is forced upon one that they
corral all or nearly all the fish by some
device. Such is the fact. These wheels
have thrown out long leads across the
water, perhaps 600 feet in length. The
fish coming to them are diverted toward
the wheel and are caught, instead of
being allowed to proceed up the river.
These leads are wings which nearly
meet in the center, and are peculiar to
the Cascades alone. They are made of
piles which are driven into firm found
alton and braced from behind. Then
four-inch Stats are nailed across them
Thus they present an impenetrable wall,
which in seeking to PISS the fish are
caught in the wheels.
These leads are as yet perfectly law
full, but it is probable bill will be in
troduced at the coming legislature which
is designed to obviate this manifestly
unfair method of catching fish, and then
The Dalles fishermen will again have a
fair opportunity.

Farewell to The Dalles.

Rev. 1. H. Hazel preached his farewell
sermon last evening al the Christian

Academy grounds and made out of it a
very pleasant occasion, though it was in
the nature of farewell. Mr.. Hazel's
congregation are very 10th to give him
up and could not be induced to do SO If
it were not that he goes to further i'm
prove himself at college. While they
foresee for him brilliant future they re-
alize it is future in which they are not
likely to have any part. At the bust
ness meeting last evening it was unani-
mously decided to call to the vacancy

Mr.. John Pashek while out in the
country yesterday killed a rattlesnake
over three feet long and about three
inches in thickness. He says the snakes
are very thick this year. He saw one
which he thought was about five feet
long, but failed to kill it. The one he
killed was just coiling preparatory to a
strike as he noticed it and jumped back.
This was at the Thompson cabin on the
right fork of Mill creek about Is miles
from town.
A stockman from Yakima passed
through Lewiston, Idaho, the other day
on the trail to Missouri, with 200 head of

only begun the long journey but the few
days have been somewhat eventful
The horses are wild, and they stampeded
on Snake river, before reaching Lewis
ton, and IA of the number went over a
200 precipice and were crushed to
pulp by the fall.-Dufur Dispatch.
Mrs. Whitaker, well-known colored

lady was consistent Christian, a mem
Der of the Methodist church, and was
much esteemed by all who knew her,
regardless of color. The funeral will

II Up to last Saturday the best price
paid for wool at The Dalles was n cents

material while the sheep and wool IN
ldustry was protected by Mckinley tariff.
Brother sheepmen, you will have an op-
portunity to get even at the polls in No
lvember. Every man who in any way
llwhatever makes his livelihood, either
Hirectly or indirectly from the sheep in
Vdustry should do all in his power to
elect Mckinley. Let us restore the tariff
system we used to enjoy, and then wen
fight over the monetary question. Re-
