The Pendleton East Oregonian says
the one thing the present Legislature
Of Oregon should do is to give the peo-
pie the right 10 home rule. He would
have each county raise and levy its
own taxes In its own way and have
control OF Its own affairs without
having 10 20 TO the legislature for
everything. There Is great deal OF
sense In this. In no state have the
people OF the counties SO little control
over their local affairs as In Oregon.
We should go farther and say that
each precinct should elect its own
assessors, justice and trustees In
place OF having all their affairs trans
acted at the county seat. The bill
introduced by IL, l.. Barkley at the
last session Is the best "hOme rule"
bill yet brought before the law max.

A FARMERS LETTER.
On Confidence Restored and the Return
Of Prosperity.

| OF Prosperity.
EDITOR JoURNAL:-Yourr readers all
know how we were promised good
times on the election OF Mckinley
How confidence would start up, nan.
ufacturers make money very plenti-
fully, everybody would have plenty Of
work, at good wages, to earn money
very fast.
A few days after election, we could
see in the Eeastern papers it had
already hit them, and they could feel
the turn OF the tide. But now you
can pick up the papers, and there is
no trouble to see that some large man.
ufacturing establishments have shut
down. and thrown hundreds OF men
out Of the work by which they had to
earn bread for their families, wives
and children.
Now we are forced to read the
failure Of four large banks in Chicago
the 2lst OF December. Is this the
kind OF confidence McKinleyism is
going tn bring? 1t will take a long
time for prosperity to reach us that
way.
What do the gold standard men
think about this? Can you account
for this restoration OF good times?
III was a gold standard man 1
would hunt a hole and crawl in and
pull the hole in after me, II this is the
kind of confidence we are to have re-
stored.
Next. fonr thousand meu parade
the streets of Denver, Col, demanding
work for bread for their wives and
children.
How many similar accounts could
we call your attention To II we so de-
sired?
The people OF this great country
will have a belly full of gold standard
before the four years roll away.
Lots of Mckinley ties are so silly as
TO think the raise in wheat is all due
to the election of Mckinley.
If we could have a failure in crops
for the next four years in all of the
foreign countries and not so many
bank failures at home, his reign
would be a great deal smoother and
his reelection more easy. G.. A. ID.

probable, for 1t contained several articles
of considerable value, taken from the
codnters of the Emporium.
The lady carried in her hand g small
accordion basket. and that, too, was full
of miscellaneous articles, most of which
were identified as coming from Hale
Bros.
The woman gave the name of Mrs.
Robert Stewart, and said she was the wife
of dentist of Chico and daughter of Rev
Mr.. Hutchinson, once of this City, but
now living in Humboldt.
Officers Green and Allen of Harry
Morse's detective agency, who are on
duty at the Emporium for just such pur-
pose as they fulfilled yesterday, saw Mrs.
Stewart acting rather strangely, and they
watched her. She was seen TO pick up
feather boa valued at 81 so, and conceal it
beneath her cloak. Then she went to the
veil counter, and before long a veil fol-
lowed the boa under the cloak. Then she
started TO leave the store, but the officers
stopped her, and she was taken aside to
be searched. Then it was found that the
fine velvet cloak had two large pockets,
one on each side and in these rested the
veil, the feather boa and other articles
The lady was cool and collected, but did
not try to explain where or how she OBJ
tanned the things except that she came by
them honestly
From the pockets in her cloak and
from the basket she carried were taken
the feather boa and the veil alrea ~ men,
toned, laundry-book, two valentines,

castings. q bunch of whale one, q lot OF
fancy trimmings, fancy hairpin, a bunch
OF feathers, IL dozen common buttons, 2
thimbles, a watchguard, sChoolbaG and
bit of chiffon. These came from Hale
Bros. Then there were q piece OF toilet
soap, 2 bottles OF cough mixtures and
some tooth powder, supposed to have been
taken from some luckless drugstore.
The articles found were all kept as evil
dence, and the lady herself was put under
lock and key at the Southern station.
Mrs. Stewart was seen later in the City
Prison. She at first felt disinclined TO
talk on the ground that she was very
sick, but finally she gave her version of
the arrest.
"I had been dealing with the En- porium
very frequently" she said, ''and went
! there this afternoon with a friend. My
friend told me that she had lost her
feather boa, and after she left me saw a
boa on the counter that thought was the

ing assassinated Fong Chung, better
known as Little Pete"
The evidence was the same in the main
as was given before the Coroner's jury at
the inquest.
James DAILY, dishwasher, living at 933B
Jackson street, and whose homeward route
leads him daily past the scene OF the
murder, testified that he was almost oppo-
site the barber-shop where the shooting
occurred. He heard four or five shots and
observed two Cinnamon running from the
place and down the street to Waverly
place. where they disappeared in dark
corridor.
The witness identified the prisoners at
the bar as the men he saw leaving Ross
alley shortly before the shooting occurred
and as the fugitives after the shooting.
T. Seno, a japanese servant, whose
place of employment is at 1919 Pine street,
corroborated the testimony OF James DAILY,
but he was quite weak upon cross
examination. The defense held to him
with tenacity as offering a main point,
the only one in fact that the defense
found in the testimony produced to date.
The witness was utterly unable to identity
the defendants, although he had testified
to having aeen them run away immedi-
a tely after the shooting.
The prosecution explains that the lack
OF proper japanese interpreter in the
Polio eCourts was the cause of Seno's ap-
parently contradictory answers.

PRINCIPALS SQUINTED.

They Were TaI<ipg "A Lesson in tn o
Testing of School -Children's Eyes.
The principals of the public schools
took their first lesson yesterday in the
art of determining what sort of eyes the
many thousands of pupils under their
care possess. The principals were gath
cred in the board NEE ting-room of the
Board of Education to the number of
fifty or more. w. D. Fennlmore, who is
the vice-president OF the California
Optical Company, was present to teach
them how TO test the children's eyes.
Before Mr.. Fennimore opened up his
explanation School Superintendent Bab-
cock made q brief statement that it was
necessary that some one should explain
the use of cnarts with letters upon them,
and said that he had no personal prefer
ence concerning the selection of any per-
son to do this work.
The whole came about through a reso-
luton adopted recently by the Board of
Education. Physicians have been exam
lining the eyes OF children to some extent
in the public schools. There was some
talk about this, and the board at its last
meeting barred the physicians out. Then
perintendent Babcock sent out a notice
for the meeting of yesterday and the
teachers gathered.
Mr. Fennimore had a chart upon which
were graded letters in rows. With this he
proceeded to test the vision of the leach
ers while he talked to them. Some of the
teachers speedily developed the fact that
they could not make out the letters at q
distance of few feet. A series of squints
were developed, an inspection of which
would have delighted the infantile mind
exceedingly. During the proceedings the
teachers asked many questions.

Nationals on Ellis street.
The election was presided over by Major
Charles J. Evans of the Second Brigade
staff. There was but one candidate, Lieu
tenant Philip J. Perkins. and he was
unanimously chosen to fill the vacancy.

of the Second Brigade on the 9th of
June, 1889, was promoted corporal, SER
geant, first sergeant, then lieutenant and
now captain of the corps, which is ad-
mitted on all sides to be the 'cracker-
jack" company of the brig ade.
There was also an election for lieuten-
ant, caused by the promotion to the cap
taincy OF Lieutenant Perkins. The most
prominent candidate was Corporal Lester
Hughes, who was unanimously elected.
There were thirty-four members present,
and after the meeting an adjournm ent

A SMART DRUMMER.
Victor A. WolT viii Have to Answer

Victor A. Wolr VIII Have to Answer
Three Charges of Obtaining Money
by False Pretenses.
Vicror A. Wolff, a drummer. who was
brought from Fresno on Sunday by Ser
geant Duncan TO answer charge OF OBJ
tainlng $3.50 by false pretenses from GUS
.ave PeltZer, winegrowers' agent, at 525
Front street, on January 26 by means OF a
worthless draft on New York, had two
other charges booked against him at the
City Prison yesterday for similar offense.
The complaining witness was Benjamin
Lewis, an attorney in the Mills building,
and Joseph Munler OF the Occidental res
taurant, 327 Bush street.
Eleven years ago Wolff obtained $3.50
from Attorney Lewis by means of worth
less draft on New York. Lewis did not see
Wolff again till January 26, and he imme-
diately swore to a warrant for VOLTS ar
rest. Wolff had become acquainted with
PeltZer while taking his meals at Munier' 5
restaurant, and on January 26 he. got Pelt-
ger to indorse a draft for $150 and Munier
to do the same thing, both of which he
cashed and disappeared.
Wolff was arrested in Los Angeles on
complaint of a aloon-keeper in Fresno
for beating him out of $100 He was taken
there, but the Fresno authorities turned
him over to the police here.
