animal has been confined SO long and
teased so much, that it has lost all it's

nailed over it, so that it could be seen

John Clark, who owns the Baker City
Bais'ey-Elkhorn stage line, tells a
curious incident, which happened at the
other end of the line, says the Baker
City Republican. The stage team was
hitched in the barn for the night. Some
time after one of the horses got loose
from his fastenings, and, going to the
/ further end of the barn, where there
was sack of oats leaning against a
barrel of the same grain, the horse
picked up the sack of oats, with his
teeth, carried it to its mate, and, placing
it in front of him, went back and salts
fed his own hunger from the barrel.
There can be no mistake about this,
says Mr.. Clark, for the oats were spilled
all along the line of travel from the
barrel to the horse that was hitched.

1t is bad state of affairs; but The
Dalles has a condition confronting it and
must deny itself many things in order
to get out of debt. A sinking fund must
be provided to meet the payment of
bonds, and this may, and probably will
require a trifling advance in the tax
rate. In conversation with City Treas
urer Crandall this morning he stated
that there vas no place where expenses
could he reduced, unless it was by re-
ducing the treasurer's salary, which is
now $40 per month. He says he is no
Pennoyer, but if it is necessary for the
salvation of the city, he can stand re-
duction of one-half and throw off the
other. The city's income will run 1t so
long as expenses are not increased; but
that is all it will do.
The only solution of the matter we
see is that those who object to darkness
will have to go home early.

Cadets OF the Third Glass Restricted to
Quarters for Insubordination.

Annapolis, Md. Dec. 23.-Seventy-one
cadets Of the third class are restricted
to quarters for characterization. Last
Sunday morning, when the officer in
charge was in the quarters of the third
class a number of the cadets broke into
loud yelling in resentment of the strict
rules with which the officer governs the
cadets when in charge of them. The
affair reached crisis when the cadets
held n class meeting on Monday night
in order to inform the superintendent
who were the guilty persons. No one
would tell on himself and nobody would
tell on the culprits. Then the class
communicated to Captain Cooper that
at their meeting they could not discover
who had done the yelling.
This was all Captain cooper, the SUI
perintendent, was whiting for before he
took heroic steps. He issued an order
that because the cadets OF the third
class maintained an insubordinate spirit
by refusing TO tell who were guilty Of
the disresnectful conduct while the Of
fcer in charge was in Guarters, they

order to 'e in force on CN' riytmas day,
