Hard On Colonel True.

The many friends of Hon. K. b
True will be interested in reading
the following account taken from
the Lewiston Tribune of a little
episode that transpired recently in
which the Colonel vas the chief
actor. The Tribune says:
Hon. E. B. True, a prominent
figure in Idaho, who was the demo-
cratic cadidate for congress in 1892,
and well-known mining operator
in Warrens, is at Mt. Idaho trying
to find out where be is at" Mr..
True arrived at the county seat Of
Idaho county Sunday afternoon in
charge Of a constable under COM
mitment to the county Jail. 1t
seems that Mr.. True and CLICK were
in dispute over some mining prop
erty at Warrens and Czizek had
True arrested on the charge Of un-
lawful possession and detainer.
There was jury trial in the JUS
tees court aud verdict of guilty
was returned by a vote of 5 to /.
Judge Henry Grostein fixed the de-
fendant's bond at $3.50 TO appear
before the district court. Mr.. True
refused to make the bond and he
was thereupon committed to Jail.
On arrival at Mt. Idaho Sheriff
Williams refused to receive the
prisoner, there being some irregu-
larity in the papers. Mr.. True is
still at Mt. Idaho enjoying quasi
freedom. The sheriff refuses to
receive him and the constable con-
tinues in legal possession of his
person, although he generously
allows defendant to foot his own
expense bills. Mr.. True may come
down to Lewiston in a few days to
secure legal assistance in untangling
the complicated meshes of the Law
by which he is surrounded.
Mr.. True is we'll known in Lewis
ton, having at one time been prin-
cipal of the public schools here.
He also made the official survey of
the city of Lewiston in 1873.
The Colonels reputation AZ q law
abiding citizen was always good in
this part of Idaho. But then be
left these parts soon after be voted
for Grover Cleveland. Remorse for
that transgression has probably 90
affected his mind az to make him
irresponsible for his erratic actions.

A Terrible Wreck.

The worst railroad wreck in the
history of Colorado occurred Fri
day morning the 10th inst, on the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad about
two miles west of New Castle,
Colo.
The wreck was caused by head
end collision between a Denver &
Rio Gsapde passenger train, run
ming at the rate Of forty miles an
hour, and a special stock train,
running at speed Of thirty miles.
So terrific was the conclusion that
both engines, baggage and express
cars, smoker and day coach were
totally demolished, and the track
was torn up for rods in both direc.
tions. To add to the horror of the
scene, the wreckage at once caught
fire from an explosion of a gas
tank on the passenger train and
burned so rapidly that many pas
sengers, pinned beneath the debris,
we're burned to death before help
could reach them.
The conductor Of the stock train
tried to steal a station and the re-
suit was a smash-up. A man and
his wife who live about one-fourth
Of mile from the scene of the ac-
cident reported that when the two
trains collided the shock was so
great as to literally hurl them out
Of bed. About 40 persona persisted
IN the frightful disaster.

The Lewiston Tribune SAYS:
wheat is now selling locally al
prices ranging closely around 70
cents q bushel. A year ago at this
time the price was from 25 to 81
cents. Two years ago the price was

Clouds Have . Silver Lining.

The indications point to : favor
able response, next month, ~ En9-
land, to the request from tho Uniteil
States and Franco for : rsadiust-
ment of the silver question. The
Bank Of England has announced
that one-fifth Of ito reserves would
be held in silver. That 10 q good
sign that there j. . purpose to re-
store the white metal. The Salt
Lake Tribune says,
We believe that bimetallism is
near by. A heavy load 10 on the
English Government. Half of the
dead from the famine died because
of that order closing the minis in
1893. Food has not been high in
India the people died because they
could not convert their bangles and
anklets into rupees. Then the
trade of England With India is going
to the dogs, and the air is filled
with mutiny and murder. Finally,
affairs are not at al satisfactory in
England herself. Her agriculturists
are starving and her credits the
world around are growing daily
more doubtful. We believe that
her Ministers have determined that
to weigh the business Of this world
in golden scales exclusively means
ruin, and the declaration that
henceforth the Bank of England
will bold 20 per cent of her deposits
in silver means that when Lord
Salisbury postponed his reply to
the American and French commits
sioners it was to permit the Bank
of England to load it's reserve with
silver at the lowest possible rates.

in he dairy section of the worlds
fair for a couple of months and
in March, 1894, accepted the
position of assistant dairyman at
the Iowa Agricultural College
creamery, where he remained
until coming to Corvallis i'll the
fall of 1895, to take charge of
the dairy department of the Or
egon Agricultural College.
Prof. Kent is an enthusiastic
dairyman and thinks Oregon.
might rival any state in the
Union in the production of dairy
products. He believes that
creamery established at Corvallis
would be of great benefit to this
section. His observations lead
him to believe that creameries
are most successfully operated
under the cooperative plan, as
the number of creameries thus
conducted is increasing yearly,
the total number Of cooperative
creaneries now exceeding those
conducted by both private cor.
porations and private individu-
ais. An ordinary creamery,
costing from $500 to 81, 900,
can reduce the expenses of op-
Grafton to a minimum by hand
ling the milk from about 600
cows. The daily butter output
from this number of cows would
be worth from $75 to 500 or
say 100000 for a year. Were
such sum disbursed annually
among the farmers living ada
cent to Corvallis, hard times
would be only ali unpleasant
memory.

M. T. Whitney, of Chitwood, Lincoln
county, was in town this week. Mr..
Whitney has discovered means for ex-
terminating vermin and is making tour
of the valley with a>vlew to Introducing
his discovery. His invention is called a
vermin cartridge and Mr.. Whitney. is
authority for the statement that it is a
success. The cartridge is about two
inches in length and Il inch in dame
ter and is discharged by means of(a fuse
three inches in length, which is attached
to the cartridge. The cartridge is filed
with explosives that, when ignited, gem
crate carbonic acid gas. The extermina-
ting process consists in lighting the fuse,
placing the cartridge in gopher bur-
row, closing up the hole to prevent the
escape of the smoke and gas, and in a
few minutes all the vermin in the near
vicinity are dead as mackerel.

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon,

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a
community of simple, honest, God-fear-
ing men and women, have prepared the
Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years,
and it is always the same, simple, hon
est, curative medicine that has helped to
make the Shakers the healthy, long-lived
people that they are. The Shakers new
er have indigestion. This is partly ow-
ing to their simple mode of life, partly
to the wonderful properties of Shaker
Digestive Cordial. Indigestion is caused
by the stomach glands not supplying
enough digestive juice. Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial supplies what's wanting.
Shaker Digestive Cordial 1nvigorates the
stomach and all its glands, so that after
awhile they don't need help. As evi-
dence of the honesty of Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial, the formula is printed on
every bottle. Sold by druggists, price 10
cents to $I.oo per bottle.

a SPEECH THAT o. .FRNDRD.

apologizipg for vulgar speech made at
that time by one of their comrades
On the program for "reminiscences of
ths war was Levi Oreu, who is as big as
an elephant and has a voice like CALI
ope. He made sensation. His talk
bristled with vulgarisms oaths and coarse
language that brought blusi1es to the
cheeks of the ladies present and made
the men rage. His address had not even
the merit of brevity and for an hour the
post comrades and their guests, hoping
that every sentence would be the last,
had indecent expressions hurled at them
in voice of thunder
In other respects, the program was ex-
ce1lent.

One of the latest sensations has been
Senator Mitchell's suggestion to his sup
porters that they drop his name and Try
to secure the election of some other good
republican.
The only visible effect of this move
nent, however, has been ts further DEM
onstrate the insincerity of these who
claim that the impeachment between the
legisiators-elect aud the performance of
their duty has been Senator Mitchell.
They still refuse to organize and do not
intend to organize under any considera-
ton. The decent members realize this
now and will soon go home
SALRa1, Feb. 24.-Yesterday the Ben
son house voted to adjourn sine die at
one O'Clock today. The senate also de-
cided to adjourn today, over-ruling ST.
mons decision that the motion was out
of order. Today, the Simon men, TAX
ing advantage of the absence of some
members. reconsidered the motion to ad-
journ sine die and adjourned till tomor-
row. The joint assembly adjourned
without day and members are fast leav-
ing for home.
1t is said that Simon will adjourn the
senate from day to day, and Davis will
likewise daily adjourn the mock tempo
rary organization of unqualified meni-
bers for some political point. But the
legislative assembly that did not assem-
Bile is practically over.
Oregon will have but enc representa-
tive i'll the national senate, the business
of the state is in pretty mess and state
extravagances continue. John Whita-
ker, of Benton, has done his part toward
creating this condition.
