Here's a regular comic opera story.
There is in Lewiston man who claims
to be the real master of an English
earldom, but ne asserts that he was re-
placed by PEASANTS baby in his in
fancy, says the Bangor News. His
present name is Patrick Gloseop, he
says, and that is the name of place in
Northern England, where his earldom
is situated. Patrick Gloseop can be
found almost any day loafing around
the GraEd Trunk station and looking
for some one TO come in on the train,
but the train never comes in with the
person that is expected, and he turns
away disappointed. He is tall, straight.
and wears side whiskers, and has de-
cidedly English accent. He came to
Lewiston about two months ago. and
has worked sa wing wood when he could
find place to do it. He boards in one
of the alley boarding-houses, and says
that he expects that lawyer from
England is coming to Lewiston to set
tie with him for giving up his rightful
heirship.

Many Bold Wheat Thieves.

Wheat thieves have apparently had it
all their own way down in Osnabrock
township this winter. A correspondent
from Soper to the Milton Globe relates
the story of their bold depredations i'll
last weeks issue thusly:
"a few years ago one needed no lock
out here, and a load of grain or wood
could remain at the side of the road I'M
til it rotted, without any one but the
owner molesting it, but it is different
now. Wilson Dynes has had $50 bu. of
wheat taken, Lars Erickson 24O lu., old
Mr. Olson, very poor man, had about
81 bu. of wheat taken from the side OF
the road, where he had to leave it on ac-
count of the heavy con iition of the road.
VIM. H. Fuller had one sack of wheat
taken the same night. He had several
sacks piled up near Mr.. " atson's house
and the thieves we're afraid to stop but
snatched che sack from the pilei in passing
1t is reported that Mr. Solberg had the
door taken from his shack and nearly all
his furniture taken away. John Swan
law Jr. had gool portion of the lumber
is ken from his buildings. MIR. Dawson
lost his pile of poles. Mr. Sabe had
new window taken from his building.
Mr.. HuIstrand had new pitchfork taken
from his barn. 1t is the common belief
that there are more implicated than bave
been caught, and if one may judge by
the sounds heard some cne is likely to
get hurt il the thieving does not stop.

Assistant Secretary.

The pencil-pusher for this publication
returned today from a ten days outing
to the coast, the principal points visited
being Spokane, Portland and Seattle. The
weather was perfect for touring and each
day was a continual round of pleasure.
No grander trip can be imagined than
from the Kootenai to the Sound by way
of Portland Leaving the mountains and
wales of Idaho. one is soon hyins through
the golden fields of the Palouse, where
harvest is just coming on. And such a
harvest as it will bel In a few hours the
Columbia river is reached and the scenic
features along that portion of the O. r.

landlubber the great ships that anchor
at Portland and the Sound cities are a
source of great interest, and as one visits
the various points of interest he real
ICES that he ought to have ten weeks in
stead of ten days for such trip.
To many of our silver readers the star
feature of the trip would have been the
privilege of hearing Bryan speak This
pleasure we had last Monday-once at
the Chautauqua grounds, near Oregon
City and again at night at Multnomah
field in Portland. Bryan in life is the ex-
act picture Of Bryan in portrait except
that he must be seen fired and animated
with his subject before a great audience
to be appreciated. He spoke for two
hours at the Chautauqua grounds. Every
word he uttered could be distinctly heard
by all in that vast throng, except when
the cheers drowned his voice. In Port
land he spoke in Multnomah field. Only
a field" could have held the crowd-ac-
knowledged to be the greatest crowd ever
seen in Portland. The crush of people to
get near him beggars description. 1t was
the scenes of the presidential campaign
over again. There is something more to
the Bryan attraction than curiosity He
grows in ones estimation by being seen
and heard He has an earnest, serious
delivery, and in appearance is the picture
of perfect manhood. He has no aristo-
cratic airs, and the great honors shown
him have not turned his head nor made
him vainglorious. Whatever may become
of him and his cause, it must be admitted
by friend or foe that he is a grand char
acter and a gallant leader.
