POPULISTS
of Lane County Assemble
And Vote Down a Middle of the
Road Proposition,

Eugene Guard, June I: Pursuant to
a !call the county central committee
of the Populist party met at the court
house, Saturday afternoon, at
O'Clock. The attendance was good,
about sixteen members of the body be-
ing present, besides quite a number of
the rank and file of the party.
The object Of the meeting, as stated
in the call, was for the purpose of
considering the action taken by the
state central committee, April 16,
which declared in favor of a "middle-
of-the-road" course, election of Sec
retary to take the place Of DR.. e. d.
McKenney, who had removed from
the county, and also to hear the resig-
nation of the chairman and elect his
successor.
On motion, Thos. Gill was elected
secretary, after considerable discus
sion.
Then came up the proposed en-
dorsement of the action of the state
central committee. Short speeches
were made by Chairman Switzerland
and Messrs. Spaugh, Amis, Zumwalt,
Holland, Burton, Sparks, DR.. Gill,
Caldwell, Treasurer Patterson, Smith
and Yarnell.
After these gentlemen had had
their say WIS. U'Ren was called upon
to make few remarks. Several of
the delegates at first objected to him
being allowed the floor but finally
consented. He made speech against
fusion or having anything to do with
the Union party recently organized
at Albany, and made every effort to
have the "middle of the road" reso-
luton off the state committee en-
dorsed. From his talk one could see
that he is against the success of the
silver movement, as he wanted the
masses of the people who are against
the gold-bugs divided up in three
parties, consisting of Populists, Dem
ocrats and Silver Republicans.
After he concluded j. q. Stevenson
was called for. He plainly and forci-
bly, stated the position taken by the
Union party, and predicted that the
silver men Of all parties would fight
under this flag at the next election
and that victory would down their
efforts. He plainly stated that the
gold-bugs could defeat the silver men
if their votes were not combined. He
wanted harmony so that Oregon
would send two silver men to the
next congress to replace the present
incumbents. Mr.. Stevenson was
heartily and enthusiastically ap-
plauded.
A motion was made to lay the res
olution, indorsing the "middle of the
road" course of the state central COM
mittee on the table, and the same was
nearly unanimously carried with
great applause.
The committee refused to accept
the resignation of Chairman Suther-
land and lie has agreed to continue in
Office for the present.
On motion the committee ad-
journed.

PARTISAN SUICIDE MODES.

Sudden Resolves Followed by Exc
cution in a Co1d-BIoOded Manner.
Suicide is developing strange forms
in Paris, reports the New York Sun.
A dressmaker was working with her
three assistants one evening recently,
when they began to talk of their
troubles, and three of the women, all
about 25 years Of age, coming to the
conclusion that life was not worth liv-
ing, decided to kill themselves at once.
The fourth, a girl of FL, said that she
did not care to be left alone and would
die, too. They all wrote farewell let
tiers to their friends, sent out for a bot
tie of cherry brandy and some char
coal. stopped up the openings into the
room, lit the charcoal and drank the
brandy. They were heard laughing
and singing until Late in the night by
the neighbors, and all four were found
dead the next morning. A few days
before an actress in one of the minor
lheaters, who was supping with three
female friends. told them that she
meant to kill herself. They discussed
the best means for accomplishing her
purpose and decided on poison. She
went at once to drug store and pro-
cured what she wanted, drank it in the
presence of her friends without inter
ference, and, after watching her con-
vulsions and seeing that the poison had
done its work, they called in police
man and told him what had happened.

CURIOUS CONTESTS.
Whip-Crackins, BarreI-RoIIing and
Race of Cripples.

wh1p-Cracking, Barrel-Rolling and
Race of Cripples.
Nogeant, the thrifty little town on
the River Marine, il France, seems des-
tined to become famous for the oldest
contests enacted in modern times. says
the New York Journal Not long ago
the public place of the municipality
was the scene of a race of cripples. and
a few days later a barrel-roHing con-
test was inaugurated, in which some of
the most prominent citizens partici-
pated.
The other day the town was treated
to the unique spectacle of a whipcrack-
ing contest, with about so contestants.
The whips were, in class A, the usual
drivers whips, and in class the :
called perpignan, much resembling the
long whips used by the lumbermen in
northern Minnesota and Wisconsin on
their log sleighs.
At least 80 different kinds of crack
ing sounds can be made by these whips
in the hands of an expert, and the
prizes were distributed to those who
produced the most of these sounds in
rapid succession. The judges laid con-
siderable emphasis in this odd con-
test on the kind of crackings which
would stir horse most without injur-
ing him. In conclusion, all the drivers
cracked their whips in chorus. which
had the effect of ear-deafening can
nonade.
A driver by the name of Lermission
received the first prize. This man can
handle the whip in so mastery man

Another Temperance Lesson.

There is no known antidote for the
bite of the tiger in Australia. Persons
bitten die almost instantly, and the gov

for anyone who will discover a remedy.
Some few years ago a young man &C
ITALY discovered an efficacious anti
dote. To prove its value he allowed
himself to be bitten repeatedly by
snakes in full possession of the power
to kill. One day he gave an exhibition
before some government officials. but,
being much under the influence of
LIQUOR, he did not recoliect what he had
done with his antidote, and he died
shortly after the snake bite. his secret

FORTUNES FROM FRACTIONS.
Control Something Universally Need
ed and Be a Millionaire.

OOAtrO1 some universally Rcc0.
ed and Be Millionaire.
There have been in recent years sew
eral instances of sudden wealth. South
Africa and Cripple Creek have produced
millionaires over night, and a bicycle
and patent medicine promoter in Eng
land made $1O.o00.OOO in as many weeks,
says Leslie's Weekly. There are sew
eral thousand people who are each
worth $1,000, 900 or more, and there are
several more thousand who are on the
road to become millionaires. Most of
these are persons who are getting their
riches on small fractions of cent. The
street railway kings who are rising to
millions and tens of millions are fully
satisfied with a part of one cent of the
nickel they collect, because there are
SO many of them.
The sugar kings have reduced the
price and improved the quality of sugar,
but as long as they get their fraction
can make profit all the way from 20
to so per cent. The coal oil monopoly
has also reduced the price and i'm
proved the product. but it's little frac-
ton makes the greatest 10 oney-making
enterprise in America. The man who
invented the patent beer stopper is
getting a bigger income than the pres
ident of the United States. A cheap
headache remedy is allowing it's pro-
prietor to spend 500. 900 year and still
lay UP another 100000 for rainy day.
The first thing is to get control of some
article of universal use, and the small
fraction will do the rest
