The Federal Council of Austria
liza Is debating over the question of
the political control of the New
Hebrides. The French and Bri-
fish have now a joint control, and
it works badly. The British au-
thorities refuse to allow the Bri-
fish to sell guns, ammunition, and
rum to the natives, while the
French authorities permit these
articles TO be sold by Frenchmen.
The friction between the control
ling powers is constant. The
British home government does not
take much interest in the matter,
and refuses to change the situa-
ton. The Australians ask for
more consideration. In the mean
time. there is much confusion,
and there is trouble in obtaining
good titles to land. n political
car drawn by a team of French
men and Britishers is like a tram
car drawn by an OK and mule.
1t doesn't work well.

The cost of growing an acre of
sugar beets III France is SO, with
out including the cost of fertilizers.
The product is about II tons per
acre. The refuse Is used for cattle
food, and the green leaves and
stalks are excellent milk producers.
1t requires eight tons of sugar beets
to produce one ton of sugar. Elk
perience shows that even with the
higher prices of labor in the Unit
ed States, the cost of agricultural
produce is not higher than in
France, owing to the large use of
machinery.

The Auckland Weekly News
says that there is more bark than
bite in the political radicalism of
New Zealand. 1t was believed by
many that the Leddon Government
which proclaimed a socialistic and
policy, would do some
mischief. Instead of doing so, it
has become rather conservative, be
cause the people, after all do not
care about trying many expert
ments. They may put radical
leaders in Office, but when the ac-
ton of these leaders creates uncer-
taintv, there is a reaction in favor
of cautious methods. The expert
ence of New Zealand would have
been the experience of the United
States, if Mr. Bryan had been elect
ed President.

MRS. STANFORD AND PRESIDENT
JORDAN.

Some Of the theologians of Cali
fornia are saying very hard things
about President Jordan of the
Stanford University, because he
recently condemned some of the
methods of conducting 'revivals."
He IS called modern destructive
critic" and ''materialistic revol-
utionist.' The Rev. Mr.. Case
says he is worse than Bob Inger-
SOIL" and must be gotten rid of as
soon a. possible. DIR. Wendte says
he Is only following in the steps OF
the college presidents, Harper,
Eliot, Low and of Prof. Briggs and
Lyman Abbott.
Mrs. Stanford has just transfer
red her fine residence and Its con
tents, with the grounds in San
Francisco, valued at 100000
to the Stanford University. She
has addressed a letter to the trus-
tees, In which she speaks of Presi-
dent Jordan with tender feeling
and virtually asks that in the event
of her death. that he should be re
tanned in office. She again asserts
that in the University, there shall
be taught " the Immortality of the
soul, the existence of an all wise
and benevolent Creator and that
obedience TO his laws Is the highest
duty of man" In this remark
able letter of Mrs. Stanford is
found this PRAYER: Dear Father
in Heaven, l wish thy will to be
done, not mine; unless my will be
thy will ask for thine instead
of mine"
The laymen, and the young peo-
pie are confused, when they hear
that a man who Is worse than
Bob IngersolT' IS commended by
a woman who utters prayer like
this. 1t looks as if regiments, on
the same side, were losing their
way in the woods, and were firing
into each other.

A Bear Story.

A good story is told on our streets
about two commercial gentlemen
who concluded, on late visit to
Kendrick, to try their luck angling
for trout. After fitting themselves
out with good supply of fishing
tackle and with the expectation OF
having great sport with the festive
trout, they proceeded up the Pot
latch, vainly trying the various riff
lies without success. They dropped
their hooks into a deep, still hole
Of water, whore only chubs and
suckers dwell, when their attention
was called to rustling noise in the
brush near by, and on taking a
second look they beheld the huge
form of black bear, standing erect
on his hind legs, and great jaws
widely extended with q Dig req
tongue tapping out as if in expec-
fancy of a sweet morsel of food,
That look was the last one, drop
ping the fishing tackle where they
stood and giving yell each that
v, uld have done a Comanche proud
thev started on a wild race for town,
aover looking backward, needing
nothing but the dread of the bear
at their flying heels, reaching town
in most laughable condition. That
bear was John Maraseck's pet, well
chained TO a tree. --Kendrick Ga

Simple Assault.


Ton Fischer, charged with assault
with a deadly weapon, was on trial
Yesterday. The defendant was
found guilty of simple assault,
which is compromise verdict.
The evidence showed that Anton
Fischer and wife reside on the
ground floor of the convent build
ing at Uni0ntown, and since the re-
moval of the sisters to Cotton
Fische has been caring for the
premls On the second floor of
the bu,la ng resides the church Or
ganist, Joseph Cans and family and
Miss Katie Jacobs, sister of Mrs.
Cans. The social relations between
the two families have been any
thing but pleasant. All of the
troubles were brought out in the
trial, and it was apparent that the
enmity existing between different
members of the same congregation
had much to do in the matter of the
witnesses appearing for one side or
She ether Particularly was this
1rue Of the defense.
On the evening Of March 28th,
about half past nine, Miss Jacobs
and Fred Oening were standing on
the east front porch of the convent,
talking in low tones. Fischer, who
lives directly inside, asked "Who
is there2' He received no answer.
On repeating the demand, someone
on the outside said, "Come out and
see" Thereupon Fischer took his
shotgun, went to the window and
said, Make yourself known or ri
shoot" There was no response and
Immediately Fischer shot through
The window, the flash of the gun
passing directly in front of the per-
sons on the outside and through
the space where they claim to have
stood just moment previous.
Fischer was arrested the next
morning by Marshal Hageman on
the charge stated. He told Hage-
man that he had shot into the
ground only to scare them, but at
The preliminary trial he testified
that ne shot into the air.
In order to show that Fischer
knew who, the parties were the
state brought witnesses who swore
that the defendant had previously
threatened to shoot Miss Jacobs.
On the other hand, the defendant
while on the stand swors that he
had no idea who the parties outside
were, but believed at the time they
were tramps or persons instigated
by Cans to do him injury,
The defense, conducted by Attor-
neys E. II. Sullivan and W. J. Bry-
ant, bent all its efforts to prove that
Else er had not known who the
parties were, and had only shot to
scare. They also introduced num-

A Run Up the Snake.

The steamer Lewiston made
successful run up the Snake river
Saturday, going over the Wild
Goose rapids without any hesitancy
and having to line only once, at the
China gardens, three miles above
the rapids. The steamer left Lew
iston at 6 a. m. with about thirty
excursionlsts, considerable freight
for the mouth of the Grand Ronde
and Riggs Bros. and Dick Stesn.
AT 3 o'clock she landed at the COP
per mines, which are five miles be-
low the mouth of the Salmon river
and 45 miles above Lewiston. Here
the passengers inspected the mines
and secured samples of the rich
ore of these valuable properties. A
half ton of ore was taken on board
to be sent away for smelter test.
Returning, IA sacks Of wool were
taken on for Riggs Bros. and so
sacks for Dick Steen. The return
was made to Lewiston by 8 o'clock
in the evening, after a day of pleas
ure and profit. This trip is but
the beginning of regular runs to
that section, Only once before has
steamboat been as far up the
Snake as on Saturday-that was in
'62, when Capt. Baughman took
the Cayuse to Pittsburg landing,
fifteen miles above the Salmon. If
the smelter tests of the copper ore
pan out as anticipated, a force of
men will be Immediately put to
work on the mines.-Lewiston
