Today A. Clemens. the man who was
arrested last Thursday evening in an
unoccupied house on the bluff, was
given an examination before Justice
Filloon, charged with having stolen a
blanket and quilt from house belong
ing to Chas. Haight. Clemens defen-
ded him self, and evinced some tact in
examining witnesses; but the chain of
circumstances against him was very
damaging, and he was bound over in
bonds of 5000, in default of which he
was remanded to Jail.
Some of the legislators who were in
the city yesterday were quite confident
a compromise of some kind would be
reached during the week whereby the
house of representatives would be al
lowed to organize. On what grounds
the compromise would be made, none
seemed to have fixed opinion. In
the event of an organization the legis-
lature will likely remain in session 20
days, during which time the general
appropriation bill will be passed, a few
laws will be repealed and some new
ones enacted.
The proposition to build telephone
line between The Dalles and Prime
vile, says the Journal, is receiving at
tention in Prineville. A considerable |
amount of capital in Crook county is
ready to invest in the enterprise, and
the proposition meets with favor
among the business men of that sec
ion. This is matter in which The
Dalles can we'll afford to invest
,apital, since telephone communica-
ion would not only be convenience
,ut would increase the business be-
ween the two places.

best plan is to lay in the needed supply
this fall and store it away where II VIII
keep in good condition.
The best time to select the seed corn
is in the fall as soon as the grain Is
well hardened. In addition to making
sure of a good supply, selecting In the
field in the fall affords a better oppof-
tunity for making the best selection as
the stalk as well as the ear can be
considered, which, of course, cannot
be done after the corn is cribbed.
When the conditions of growth Will
admit the best seed corn is that which
| is selected from what is grown on the
| farm, provided, of course, that proper
| care is taken in the selection.
When the first selection is made it
is always best to select rather a larger
quantity than will be needed. This

The grain should be sound and deep.
While it is difficult to secure very
large ear without fairly good-sized
cob, yet getting ears with deep grains
will make considerable difference in
the size Of the cob So far as can be
done the ears should be uniform in
color. shape, OF grain and time Of ma
turity.
After sufficient quantity is secured
it should be thoroughly dried, and ther
stored where it will keep dry and b
safe from vermin. One of the mos
serious objections TO taking seed cor,
from a crib in the spring is the risl
that it's vitality may have been injured
by it's being damp when thrown int
the crib or while standing in the fell

WASHINGTON, Nov 13.-Ex- Represent
ative John M. Langston, one of the promi-
nent colored men of the country, is seri-
ously i'll at his home in this city. At one
time his case was thought to be hopeless,
but later he rallied and showed some i'm
provement. Mr.. Langstons illness is due
to acute dyspepsia and overwork in the
Maryland campaign. He is much better this
evening, and his physician is hopeful of his
recovery

ship of law at Howard University, remain
ing with that institution for seven years
From 1877 to 1885 he was United States min
lister and consul general to Haiti. Upon
his return to this country he became pres
ident of the Virginia Normal and Collegiate
Institute at Petersburg, Va, where he re-
mained for three years, when he was
elected to the Fifty-first Congress, and re-
tanned his seat on a contest. Since 1S911 Mr.
Langston has been prominent in politics,
but did not hold ot1lce.

OUTBREAKS IN ARMENIA.
Statement from the Porte Regarding
Recent Disturbances.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The Turkish
legation to-day after inquiry, authorized
the following statement concerning recent
Armenian outbreaks: THE Armenian agi-
tators, conforming to their subversive pro-
gramme, form bands of brigands in order
to subvert the public order and security in
the empire and not only the Armenian
brigands, but also their wives, use Martini
rifles and dynamite shells. Only recently
the governor general of the vilayet of Sivas
that the Armenian bands of brigands, MEM
berS of the revolutionary committee in
those regions, under the orders of Houssep
and MinaS Oghlon were pursued and ar
rested, excepting their chiefs and two MEM
bers of the band who were able to escape.
The Wife of HouSsep, who, like her huS-
band, was armed with a Martini rifle, haV-
ing also devoted herself to brigandage, ad-
and surrendered, declaring that she re-
nounced entirely all illegal actions. Meas
ureS were adopted to surround the place
which HouSsep had selected for his abode,
when the latter. with his two companions,
surrendered themselves to the grace and
generosity of the local authorities. There
upon these individuals, like many others
under the same conditions, were conducted
to their churches to swear an oath, which
they did, that they would live honestly and
submit strictly to the laws of keeping
peace. Afterwards the authorities occupied
themselves with the task of securing them
them place of refuge, and provided them
with all the necessaries of life to enable
them to live honestly and peacefully"

unauthorized assumption OF baronetcies and

draws attention TO the long standing scan
dal in the spurious assumption of title at
the present moment of at least forty bogus
baronets, who are unable to show their title

the disputed baronetcies, the claimants to

In other words, if a man fancies he is en-

EngIand,s spoiIs system.

LONDON, Nov. 1S-While the English
newspapers generally are preaching against
the ''spoils system in America, contrasting
it with English methods, Mr.. Henry
Labouchere, in Truth, is unable to find
much difference in the political customs of
the two countries. He points out that a
number of well-paid court appointments are
always distributed among the peers on the
winning side; adds that the House of Com
mons gets its share of patronage, showing
that there are many prizes on the judicial
bench which go to the victors and asserts
that when the party needs war chest
there are various wealthy men always will
ing to subscribe on the understanding that
they will be repaid by a peerage or by a
lesser title. The only difference Mr. La
bouchere can see between British methods
and those followed in America is that in the
United States each party insists on the
rank and file sharing the spoils, while in
this country the spoils go almost exclusive
ly to the upper crust"
