THE Examiners account of the
hanging of Durrant sounds good
deal like Robespierre's JOY at the
success of the Partisan head-chop-
ping knife during the French rev!
olution. The details in all their
minuteness, accompanied by cuts
illustrating all the CHASTITY details
during the various stages of the
proceedings from the cell to the
drop from the scaffold can be seen
in the Examiner.

which is to remove the ban Of ma
tional or military disfavor from
certain men who are scheduled as
deserters from the United States
army. 1t is proposed to remove
by act of congress the charge of de-
sertion lying against these men,
and furnish them with papers Of
honorable discharge from the
ranks. The circumstances attend
ing a desertion must be indeed ex-
traordinary to justify legislative
enactment transmitting it into
honorable discharge. Since it is
the desire of the government to
hold men enlisted in its military
service to the terms of their con-
tract, and, indeed necessary for it
to do so. as far as possible, it would
seem to be measure of doubtful
expediency that would place the
deserter upon an equality with the
soldier who faithfully earns his
honorable discharge by serving the
| full term of his enlistment.

leave United States soil if arrange.
ments can be made with the Mexi-
can government for the location Of
colonies aggregating $4,000 natives
south of the Rio Grande. The
white men who covet the valuable
lands held by the Indians will not
regret their going, but the Indians
themselves may make q serioue
mistake. Doubtless they have
some real grievances, but in the
main they are now well treated,
and many of them have become
rich and prosperous.

Judge stearns Resigns i.

Judge Loyal B. Stearns has resigned
as Judge of the fourth Judicial district.
The resignation was sent to Governor
Lord yesterday, and is now iu his hands.
This act was in obedience to the COM
msnd oT Judge Stearns' physician, DR..
Holt @. Wilson, who declares that his
patient puts life ia jeopardy by further
work on the bench. His trouble is ner-
vous p.ostration, whose only cure is ab.
solute rest. This Judge Sterns will
take.
For three months he has been pulled
down by his lsbors. The case was close.
ly watched, and it was observed that a
little. rest always improved bis condi
ton, while return to labor invariably
made him weaker. In DR.. Wilson'S
opinion, continued work would result in
q permanent breaking down, 30 Judge
Storms obeyed this command to resign,
and will seek the one remedy-rest

13 years. and a resident OF Portland

Ontv a mBluf"

II was repo-ted about town Sunday
that cary in the morning suicide had
been attempted by Glenn Bushee, q
young men we'll known here, who was
supposed to have swallowed q dose OF
laudanum. Investigation showed that
very little, II any, OF the poison got
down Bushee's throat, and the attempt
is supposed to have beeen more of a
bluff than any thing else. Probably
as a eort Of punishment, the attending
physician administered an emetic in
liberal doses, causing the patient 70
vomit violently. He was brought
around all right when he had recov.
cred from the effects OF the emetic.
Theprank is presumably due to an ex-
cessive jsmboree in which Rushee and
some Of his companions INDUCED, East

The Corbett Case

Says q Washington special: 1t had
been expected that the committee on
privileges and elections would meet to
take up the claim Of H. W. Corbett to a
seat in the senate from Oregon, on the
appointment of the governor of that
state, but, owing TO the absence of Sens-
tor Burrows, the meeting will not be
held until next Monday. Mr.. Burrows
is the only republican on the committee
who will oppose the seating of Mr..
Corbett. He takes the position that the
decision in the Mantle case is a preced-
ent against the appointment OF senators
where the legislature has bad an OPP
portunity to act. which cannot be put
aside. His vote will thus have the eff.
feet OF sending the matter to the senate
on an adverse report, as without Mr.,
Burrows the committee is a tie

ATHENA, JANUARY IA, 1898

THE gratifying progress made
by the south in the development
of manufactures was incidentally
alluded to in the report Of the sec
retary of agriculture in connection
with the statistics on the cotton
crop. 1t is shown that the num-
Der of cotton mills in the southern
states has increased in ten years
1886 to 1896-from 232 in the
former year to 401 in the latter.
The increase in the number of
spindles has been still greater, the
advance being from 1,100,132 to
3,341,575, while the value of the
cotton manufactured into goods
has been increased in still larger
proportion.

THE Overman bicycle company
recently asked that a receiver be
appointed to take charge of the
company's factory and all its
branch houses. Business matters
must be rotten when a company

they cannot keep out of the hands
of receiver. The Overman wheel
company has always been consid-
cred one of the most substantial

IT is rather surprising to dis
cover from the internal revenue
statistics that the south has fewer
saloons in proportion to its popu-
lation than have the northern
states. Arkansas, for example,

326. Two or three wards iii New
York or Chicago would probably
exceed either figure.

Oregon Bananas.

Ripe bananas. grown in the Oregon
agricultural college greenhouse, we're
exhibited on the streets of Corvallis by
Secretary Yates last week. The fruit is
supposed 10 be the first OF the sort ever
grown in Oregon, and was as toothsome
as bananas raised in the topics. Banana
trees have been kept in the college
greenhouse for several years, but they
had never before born fruit, and the
cause for the present production is suT-
posed to be that the trees. which have
hitherto been potted. were PLANTED in
mother earth last year.
