lOr'S ranks no more, his wife and
family having arrived with theii
household goods from Albany last
Friday. They have taken up their
residence in Mrs. Copeland's house
on Second street. We welcome
them to our town.
Last Saturday morning the county
court appointed ]. w. Paraish
county assessor to fill the unexpired
term of J. H. Lutz. A petition had
been filed asking for Mr.. Parrish S
appointment. Mr.. Parrish was
notified of his appointment about
noon, and on that evening he filed
his official bond. He assumed the
duties of his Office on Tuesday.
We enter a severe protest against
criminal cases being brought in the
justice courts in matters that origin
ates in the city, and over which the
city has jurisdiction. 1t is most
unfair for the county to be put to
the expense of prosecuting these
cases, and the city derive the bene-
fit of the license money from the
saloons where they originate. Take
them before the city recorder where
they belong, and let the city stand
the cost of administering the laws
within her own limits.
The case of the State VS.. Pingra
Logan was tried before Justice
Krogstad and jury of six yester-
day. This was case on the charge
of assault and battery upon the
person of Mr.. Allen Parker, of va
quina. at this place on the 4th of
July The state was represented
by Deputy District Attorney Hawk
ins, and the defense by B. F. Jones.
The jury was composed of VIM.
Enos, A. Dundon, Chas. Altree,
A. Rosebrooks, VIM. Bogue and
John Steel. A verdict of not guilty
was rendered.
Business in the way of recording
up at the county clerks Office is at
standstill, owing to the inability
OF the clerk to get supply of
internal revenue stamps. .Immedi-
ately upon taking the Office Clerk
Lutz sent for supply of these
stamps, but he has not yet received
them, and don't know when he
will. AS the new war revenue law
requires all deeds, mortgages, etc.,
to be stamped before they can be
legally filed and recorded, it is
working a great hardship upon the
business of the county.
Engineer Casteel, who was at the
throttle Of the engine when it left
the track near Blodgetts last Sun
day evening, is the same engineer
that was on the engine in the ter
rible wreck at the bridge at tunnel
No. I, three years ago when Johnny
Campbell and Joel Wilcox lost their
lives. The engine came within an
ace of going into the rivee at that
time, and if it had the engineer and
fireman would have probably been
killed also. The escape of Sunday
last was narrow one also. Casteel
seems to have been born lucky il
not rich.

Last Saturday one of the boilers
out of the wreck of the old Yaquina
City, that had been lying in the
sands of South Beach about ten
years was taken out over the Cor
wallis & Eastern. This boiler was
a huge one, occupying the whole of
one fiat car, and was wider and
higher than thesordinary box car.
In passing through the tunnels on
the way out only small margin of
space was left on each side, and it
took some careful work of the train
men to get it through safely. This
boiler lay imbedded in the sands of
South Beach for some nine or ten
years, and by many was supposed
to be utterly worthless, but Henry
! Wulf, of Yaquina, had an idea that
it might be recovered, and after
considerable work il was rescued
from its sandy bed about year ago,
and after careful inspection it was
pronounced to be almost as good as
ever. Mr.. Wulf shipped it to
Seattle, where he has a buyer for
it.
City Recorder Swope has been
doing business in his court in the
past week, having had up and fined
several Indians for their disorderly
conduct on the 4th at this place.
We suppose that it is all very
proper to get an Indian drunk and
then mulct him out of few dollars
he or his friends might have, but
we cannot subscribe to that doctrine.
We have no use for drunken man,
either Indian or white, and want
to see the laws upheld. But we do
not think that the Indians who
were caught up and fined were half
so guilty or needful of punishment
as were the miserable wretches that
for few paltry dollars carried the
whiskey to them. These are the
ones that ought to be punished, and
unless the people of Toledo have
the moral courage to deal with these
malefactors as they deserve, we had
just as we'll give up the idea of
having law and order in our village,
and deliver il over to the band of
bootleggers that would sacrifice
every vestige of security and self
respect in the town for few dollars
of gain.
The county court at its session
last week came to a direct and CON-
plete understanding with the clerk
and sheriff as to what their compen-
sation from the county should be
for their services as such officers.
AS will be seen by the orders made,
and published in the proceedings Of
the county court in this issue, that
the matter is fully covered and the
compensation of the clerk is set a,
81 200 per year, and the sheriff al
81 300. Each officer is allowed one
deputy during the terms of the dis.
trict court, at $3.50 per day, and
at such other times as the county
, court deems to be necessary and
fair. The officers are to pay over
all fees and moneys coming into
their hands into the county treasury
By this early understanding and
agreement with these officers the
court hopes and believes that it viii,

WORLD SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
Mr.. z. III. BristOw Represented the
District Mt London Convention.

Mr.. P. H. Bristow, who Gas just returned
from London, attended while there the
Worlds Sunday school convention, a gath
ering of Sunday school workers from all
parts of the world. Mr.. Bristow was tie
only representative present from the Dis
trict of Columbia and, in fact, was the ac-
credited delegate from the Sunday School
Union Of the District. He was, however
sent to the convention by the Sunday
school of the Calvary Baptist Church. of
which he is the superintendent, and which
is not only the largest school in the Dis
trict, but also within three or four of be-
ing the largest in the country.
One of the principal addresses delivered
before the convention was from Mr.. Bris-
tow, whose theme was The Grading and
Management of the Sunday School," Ow-
ing to Mr.. Bristows practical experience
with a school which has expanded during
his SUPPLEMENTARY from membership OF
500 to nearly 1,S00, his paper was full OF
valuable suggestions and created much
favorable notice.
The delegation from this country. Mr..
Bristow told Star reporter today, num-
bered only 800 out of a total delegation of
1880. yet the American flag was the only
national emblem displayed in the hal when
the convention met. Mr.. Bristow says that
the English delegates, including the pre-
siding officer who was a lord, took every
opportunity to make favorable and COM
plimentary illusions to this country, and
each time the greatest enthusiasm was
evoked. He says the convention was one
of the most successful ever held and that
the statistics presented showed marked
increase in Sunday school attendance as
compared with those reported at the con-
vention held four years ago. The fetal en-
roliulent of the Sunday schools of the wor,a
is new 25,000.0o0, an increase of some three
million during the last four years.

Views of the Former Democratic
senator From Texas.
| CHICAGO August 12.-'I am in favor of
| the annexation of Cuba, the taking of Per-
to Rico and the keeping of the Philippine
| Islands," said John H. Reagan, formerly
| United States senator, chairman of the
state railway con- mission of Texas and one
of the leaders Of the democratic party in
Texas, in the course Of an interview here
| today.
"Of the entire LOO is,s nds of the Phil
| ippine group, would you favor keeping all
of them?" was asked.
Yes; our army and navy are there.
From a war point of view they now belong
to US and l would keep them. After the
war is over l would not sell them They
belong to this nation, and we need them.
would establish over the Philippines an
American protectorate. We know that
there, in Cuba, the native is not capa-
BILE of self-governmeIt as we understand
the term. 1 would have for them a local
government of their own. which they
might conduct SO long as it was consistent
with the laws of the republic. But the
should be just as it must be in Cuba, in the
hands of the Americans, who have con-
quered, and whose flag, once raised above
any soil, ought not to be taken down.
ITO maintain the protectofate we will be
compelled to keep strong garrisons and q
strong fleet at the islands for years, but
in retaining them We will have extended
the boundaries of constitutional govern
ment just that much and increased the
area In which the freedom of man is recog-
Eized by just SO many square miles, We
will have held islands which to US are
necessity for the future progress of the
republic. We will have raised one more
barrier against the future encroachments
of real imperialism-monarchica govern
nent.
II confess that it is true we assume new
responsibilities in taking the Philippines,
but our growth has prepared us for those
added duties. We cannot afford to be timid
or shrinking in this hour.
"A necessity positively exists for a
broadening of the area of our national ac-
tivity. Our commerce needs widening The
| islands of the sea offer US the opportunity.
Our navy will be increased Immediately to
such proportions that even the combined
powers of Europe win fear and respect it.
Following this incre ase of the navy will be
natural development of our marine Inter
ests, great increase of our merchant fleet
Our internal development will continue.
while our national usefulness will broaden
into buying and selling commerce with
every nation of the world. We have como
to the measure of our strength: we are
unified; we are on the threshold of such a
national career OF pi ogress as history never
has witnessed"

BIG STEEL COMBINE.
A Formidable Rival to the Immense
Carnegie Intereats.

Carnegie interests-
CLEVELAND, Ohio, August 12.-Mr.
Samuel Mather, director of the Minnesota
Iron Company, was asked concerning the
reported consolidation of three big steel
companies, among which are the Illinois
Steel Company and the Minnesota Iron
Company. He admits that such an ANAL
gamation had been discussed, but said he
had not heard of the appointment of COM
mittee to investigate the affairs of the
Minnesota company, although he said IT
was likely that such committee had been
named, if the deal had progressed as far
as the report would indicate.
The Cambria Iron Company and the
Lackawanna Iron and Steel Company were
the other concerns which have been con-
sidered in the proposed deal. Mr.. Mather
said. He did not know, however, which
enc of them was the third concern 10 be
included in the trust.
Should the consolidation of the Illinois
Steel Company, the Minnesota Iron Com
pany, Cambria Iron Company and the
Lackawanna Iron and Steel Company be
effected formidable rival to the Immense
Carnegie interests will have entered the
lists in the iron and steel field of the world.

the women of the city i-rre afraid to ven
ture on the sheet, and our officers were
asked IL 1t would be safe for them TO do
SO. The reply was: Yes; Just as safe as
1t was in the days prior to heetilities."
They show their faith in this assurance
today by appearing on the streets in con-
siderable numbers. In passing; i must say
that SO far I have failed to note many In
stances of that SURPRISING style of beauty
for which the women of Cuba have become
somewhat noted. Perhaps the beauties
have not had time to overcome their natu-
raj shyness as vet. and only the less favor
ed ones have ventured forth.
The city itself is like all other Spanish
American cities with which the people in
the states are all more or less familiar,
either from visits or description The
streets are narrow and thu houses abut the
sidewalks. Santiago is very billy, and of a
hot day is trying on the strength of a
pedestrian. There is no such thing as sew
erage, and the waste from the houses flows
into open cutters. In the business section,
where the streets are steepest, they are
fairly clean, however, kept SO, I suppose,
by the frequent rains. Up on the more
even table land on the outskirts, where
the poorer people live, the filth is appall-
iES anu the WONDER Is Cnat anybody can
stay there and live.
SqualOr and DestttutiOn.
In this section there ara evidences of all
Astounding squalor and restitution. This is
the class which has felt the weight of the
war in all of its fearful consequences And
this is the class for whom something must
be done, and done quickly, or some scourge
must soon break out among them and
sweep them away like chaf. The mango
is about their only subsistence now, and
has been for weeks past. Lean, hun
cry dogs skulk about the streets and
glare at passersby out of wild, sunken
eyes. Gaunt, emaciated children totter
about the doors in every degree of naked
less. Wan-faced mothers have nothing but
the mango to offer in response to their cries
for food 1t is an awful, sickening, heart
reLding sight.
This is the Cuba and these are the Gu
bans We have interviewed to save from
Spanish misrule, and the next problem
which presents itself is to save them from
themselves-the most difficult task, per-
haps, of all. D. 1. MERCER.
