The Devil Buried.

A negro preacher IN a little South
Carolina village, few days ago
solemnly announced that the devil
was dead, and would be buried in
that village. The credulous became
very much excited and the news
spread into adjoining states, and in
tho course OF few days ten thousand
praying, shouting, frantic negroes
gathered in che little village to at
tend the burial Of the devil.
They were without food or shelter
and several went insane in the wild
delirium; and the white citizens loo!,
ed on III alarm and umazement. won.
dering where the thing would end.
Finally the preacher announced that.
Mt midnight preceding he with five
trusted brethren had buried the devil
and that his satanic majesty would
never be resurrected to annoy the
human race. What pity Tor us nj,
that this momentous event did NOT
occur before the apple.eating episode

WAVES OF PROSPERITY.

Websters definition OF a wave may
be summed up in the term oscillation
or instability. Sir Isaac Newton de-
tinee wave as irregularity or I'M
eveness of surface. In the natural
world wave always presupposes an
'evanescent climax, 70 be followed i'm
mediately by ali anticlimax or de-
preston.
Thus we have by their own show
ing the estimate which the blatant
heralds o: artificial prosperity place
upon their own product. These parti-
sam John the Buptists, gong up and
down the land telling the people to
make way for prosperity, have at
least the virtue of righteousness
They pirate OF tidal wave Of pros-
perity that ID not expected on their
own showing to be lasting. We are
to have. according to these heralds. a
wave OF such prosperity US the coun-
try has never witnessed before, and
all interested are 20 mike hay while
the sun shines, for not being found
ed on rational economies there is no
telling how long the wave may last.
The whole theory Of tariff legerde-
main Is b sed ON the alternate swell
and subsistence O: socalled prosper
ity. A wave, either in economics or
physics, presuPposes depression
elsewhere. Following the physical
origin OF wave to it's logical con-
clusion. it is the depression that
causes the wave, and vice versa
Prosperity for the trusts and munop-
olies Of the United States, which il
the real aim or the tariff u, cromanc-
ers pres opposes depression among
other classes. principally consumers
and the labor element.
Based ON robbery, which differs in
degree only and not in kind from the
piracy Of the middle ages or the brig
andage Of modern frontier life, this
kind Of prosperity always runs its
course when an aroused public senti-
ment considers 1t time to call halt.
Whatever of real prosperity is IN
store for the people OF the United
States in the near future will be a
tardy surmounting of obstacles
thrown ia the way of natural recu
peratioD from hard times by the tariff
tinkerers. 1t Is TO ue prof ount.ly
hoped that such real pro. peri y,
whose welcome appearance will need
no heralds or exploiters, will come
to remain with us and not to
sweep over the nation with ephemeraI
touch
Oscillation from the heights of arti-
fetal prosperity to the depths OF en-
treme depression constitutes the most
hur'ful Of experiences for the body
polite. Steady growth without these
alternate ext 'emes 10 the only sign Of
genuine prosperity, and such growth
is the nations assured destiny when
the tariff inggiers are suppressed for
good.-Chicago Chronicle.

THE ROBBERS CAUGHT.
AS Usual, a Woman's Curiosity Gets in
It's Deadly Work.

The\robbers who held up the o. r. &
N. passenger Saturday night were caught
Monday in Portland through the curl
osity and intuition of a woman, Mrs.
James R. Hamilton, at whose house
the men lodged.
They had been rooming in the house
day or two when Mrs. Hamilton, in
moving the bed, discovered box under
it, with the caution mark, dangerous,
handle with care" on it. ibis, of course,
excited her curiosity and examining the
box she found it contained what she
supposed to be dynamite. Then, of
course, she looked further and in one of
the bureau drawers found two new re-
peating shotguns done up in paper and
two big revolvers.
When the robbery occurred, she at
once connected these men with it, and
giving the information to the detectives,
the men were arrested. Then it was
found that they had hired a one-horse
rig at livery stable the night of the
robbery, taking it out at O'Clock in
the evening and returning at IL. In the
buggy was found purse containing So
gold piece, and engineer Evans identi-
fed the purse as being the one taken
from him by the robbers.
There is no doubt but that the right
men have been caught, and Mrs. Hamil-
ton will get the $3.50 reward offered by
the o. R. & n. for the arrest and con-
viction of the robbers.
If there is a lodger in Portland now
who has anything he desires kept sec
ret, he had better get a move on and
hide it, for there will be an overhauling
of dodgers property in the next few days
that will make spring house cleaning
ashamed of itself.

Attempts the Impossible.

Last night about 8 O'Clock as the
editor of the mes-Mountaineer was
coming down town from his home, smll-
ing inwardly as he thought of the big
crops and consequent growing subscrip-
ton list and increased advertising; as
he thus communed with himself and ap-
piled gentle suction to a two-for-a-
quarter cigar. he was suddenly aroused
from his reverie as he passed the Pease
4 Mays implement warehouse, on the
corner of Second and LaughIin, by a
big fellow, who had evidently been
leaning against the. building. sud
denly lurching forward and grabbing
him by the collar, at the same
time saying "Hold on % Douthit didn't
"hold on" worth cent, but on the con-
trary, let go with his right, catching the
disturber of his dreams in the neck and
knocking him off the sidewalk. Then
the editor took up the broken thread of
his dream and perambulated his peri
grinations down to his sanctum.
The man was evidently stranger or
drunk, else why should he attempt to
rob an editor? Most of US would gladly
give ana expert pickpocket or highway
man an opportunity to go through our

More of the Wreck.

From Mr.. G. M. Bullard, who was one
of the brakemen on the freight train
wrecked near the John Day yesterday
morning, we learn that Engineer Johns
ton was not killed outright but lived
for perhaps an hour or more. When the
wreck occurred Bullard FASTENED to the
engine and found Johnston first. Seeing
nothing could be done for him, and
hearing Hackman groaning he went to
his assistance, but finding he was
fastened in the wreck in such manner
that he could not get HIM out he re-
turned to Johnston. The latter on his
approach asked him who he was, and
receiving reply said, Where is BilIy?"

Some one had started fire to get
light and Bullard wanted to carry Johns
ton out to it, but at his request placed
him on the ground. He tried to tell
Bullard something about his breast be-
ing hurt, but could not make himself
understood and in less than FIVE minutes
from that time expired. Johnston's
right leg was cut off near the ankle; the
left arm was severed and the left leg
was pulp from the ankle half way to
the knee. Besides this there were two

Its Study Conducive to the Parents
Happiness aud JOY.

Miss Hill, who has charge of the class
in geology, had her pupils out Friday
afternoon, examining into the condition
and quality of the earth's epidermis in
this vicinity.
Geology is, no doubt, a very interest
ing study, but it is cruelty to the old
folks to have the youngsters come home
at night and ask unanswerable questions
about plsgioclase and orthoclase rocks
triclinic feldspar, and run a string o T
queries off their tongues into ones ears
concerning the difference between gran
ite, syenite and gneiss. Between por-
phyry and quartzite; serpentine and
olivine, and all that sort of thing. Aud
then to go to inquiring of the old man,
just as though he had personal recollec-
ton of those days, about the laurentian
rocks, the carboniferous epoch and how
the icthyosaurus and the pterodactyl
looked, and how coal beds were formed,
and how the plesiosaurus and the
megatherium lived, and how their re-
mains came to be preserved among the
sedimentary rocks.
subject makes the old man wonder how
he managed to live in such state of
ignorance, to branch the subject off into
dynamic geology and make few in
quiries concerning the crinkling of the
earth's surface along the lines of least
resistance, the creation of mountain
chains thereby, the cause of volcanoes,
subsistence of the land, or elevation
thereof until the sea beaches are found
far inland. And among all these things
fire in a few questions about agate,
jasper, opal, ebert, Lydian stone, chal-
cedony, carnelian and all the varieties Of
colloid or cryptocrystalline quartz, and
want to know what porphyritic and
amygdaloidal mean.
It's all nice for the old man as he feels
his way carefully along through the
pleasant paths of the science from the
old Devonan sandstones up to the basalts
and clinkstones, wondering all the time
how much the measly kid knows, and
trembling in his boots all the time until
with smile, like saurian and eyes as
bright as opals, the bifurcated interro-
cation point asks if he can't go and play
awhile and have two-bits to assist in the
game. He is allowed to go with a
hearty God-speed, and the onliest
quarter.
Geology is nice thing, and we anx-
iously await the day when our son and
heir will know more about the Latter
! than his dad, which should occur come
time this month.
