JAMES L. HIGH.

There died in Chicago last Monday
morning a distinguished lawyer and
author of legal works, who was once a
resident of this city-James l.. High.
Mr.. High came to this city in the early
'70's. seeking health, and was made as
sistant United States attorney, partici-
pating in some celebrat ed trials of
those days. He did not remain very
long, but returned to Chicago Soon
after his return he published his first
legal work, the one that made his fame
as Il writer, and on which it chiefly
rests-"High on Injunctions.' When
the work appeared, his friends and ac-
quaintances in this city were much
astonished. as they were not aware
that the modest and retiring gentle
man whose acquaintance they had
found SO pleasant, was contemplating
authorship in any direction. The work
is the standard authority on the sub
let. but it cannot be called a great
work like Story's or Kent's common
taries or ''Cooley's Constitutional Lin
itations."
Mr.. Highs ideal of what a lawyer
SnOulQ De was OF the highest, Such an
ideal as the great jurists have always
held, and which always so charms the
young student of law. He made of
the law profession, and not a trade.
and he was held in the highest esteem
by the bench and bar of his state.
The manner of his death was sad.
His son. Shirley High, a graduate of
Yale and of the law department of the
Northwestern university, was a volun-
teer and was at Santiago. He was sent
to Camp Wikoff as an invalid, and his
parents went there to visit and nurse
him. They got him furloughed and
took him to their home in Chicago
While at Camp Wikoff, Mr.. High con-
tracted the illness malarial fever
which terminated fatally. The son
was saved, but the father who saved
him persisted. Had he lived until yes
terday he would have been 81 years of
age. His death is loss to the legal
profession, of which ne was a most
distinguished member.

AN OLD WAR HORSE

HOW WE TOOK KHARToUM.

We went swinging through the desert,
Marching straight to right d wrong,
For the British vengeance tarries,
But the British arm is long:
And the SoudaneSe beside US,
With our darkies from the Nile,
Marched behind their British sergeants,
GrinninS StdelOng, gleesOme smile,
For they knew We sought the DerviSh,
And they heard the muttered doom
OF the khalifa's black emblem,
Where it fioated. DER Khartoum.
Scottish pipe and English band,
Mule and camel pack.
Marching through a fiery land,
On the Moslem track;
Marching through the desert sand
With our Union Jack,
England S honor in each hand,
Soldiers white and black
We went swinging through the desert.
Such a troop was never seen,
All avengers OF the hero
Who drew tears from England's Queen,
Men of Warwickshire. and Lincoln,
With the Irish Fusieers,
And the CameronS' gay tartan
Flicking British Grenadiers;
Old Northumberland and. Lancashire,
A-swearing in their zeal,
Lancers cleaning on their chargers,
With their thews of British steel.
Tramping through the burning haze
Far as eye could scan,
With our MaXims all ablaze,
Eager, to a mani
Holding, with Il comrades gaze.
Egypt and Soudan;
Thus we faced the DerviSh ways,
Down on Omdurman.
Cod But were they men or devils?
Fiercer swordsmen never drew,
As they swooped a White-rObed legion,
Shouting Allah, where they flew;
Countless banners waved above them,
Shining brass and copper drum,
Set the white mans heart a-beating
With q new and savage thrum,
When those cursing, fiery demons
Met us in the Serried shock
Met and fell. still shouting Allah
With black eyes that seemed to mock.
Falling. with a murder thought,
In each cunning brain;
Shamming death. until we brought
Succor to their pain:
Then the dying arose and wrought
DEVILS deeds again.
So Our British vengeance sought
Victims mid the slain.
Satans hordes were loose upon us;
But Gods angels lowered round.
Faith and Loves white pinions quivered
When our Lancers took the ground,
Charging through the Dervish squadrons,
Hurting death. one man to four.
Then, with thinner ranks, and serried,
Facing round to charge once more;
Gathering our fallen heroes.
Hewed and hacked, from out the fray,
With Gods glory on their foreheads-
Calm as on their drilling day.
Through our pulses pride and shame
Coursed Ike wine Of war;
Black and white lips spoke the name
OF our great Sirdar,
Swore the Moslem rage to fame,
Moslem force to bar
SWore TO quench the Crescent flame
In our Northern Star!
With set teeth we fought and slaughtered.
Dervishes like snowfiakes fell.
While our black recruits-God bless them
Rushed the foe with savage yell.
They were bent upon their vengeance
We We're dreaming on our own.
On the death for which no courage,
No devotion could atone.
But we slew bastard Mosem
For each hair of Gordon's head
Slew a Moslem for each tear-droD
By our sovereign lady shedi
Tramping, on the Moslem track,
To the Moslem doom.
Crashing in our wild attack,
On to darl. Knartoum,
Till we knelt men white and black
In the sunset gloom,
Where our lady's Union Jack
Waves DER Gordon's tomb.

A SPRING REMEDY.

When cares assail OF unpaid bills
Bear down with cumulative Ills
When spring complaints give jaundice hue
To all you see and all you do;
When every room is upside down
And paper hangers rule the town,
Don't take the trials quite so hard.
But go outside and rake the yard.
You'll find the daffodils are uD
With many a trimming golden cup,
Filled with ripe sunshine, fresh as dawn,
And all about the leafy lawn
Are things you lost last summertime
The penknife bunch of keys. the dime
For which you searched with such regard,
So go outside and rake the yard
And oh. those hosts of leaves that fell
In shady spots you loved so well;
How gayly they elude the rake
How many wooden tines you break
In eager quest of them, though vain!
Yet. by such arts the tyrant Pain
You kill and all your woes discard.
So go outside and rake the yard:

The Democratic county commit
tee of Salt Lake county has APP
pointed Mr.. j. G. Bywater to
ill the vacancy in the legis-
lative ticket caused by the death of
Mr.. Albert Spencer. The primary fac
tor in Mr.. Bywater's selection was the
fact that in the convention he stood
next to Mr.. Spencer in the voting. and
hence was regarded as the conventions
second choice. As Mr.. Spencer was Sc
lected from the country, SO is Mr.. By
water. He is popular with his party,
and is a representative workingman
in the best sense of the term. The
friends of other gentlemen urged their
selection, but the county committee
deemed Mr.. Bywater's the best, all
things considered. and that decision
should be cheerfully acquiesced in.

THE ARKANsAw TRAVELLER. JR
t. Allen Mcousry Arrives in the City
on His Strange Mission Around the
World for an Arkansaw Girl
and $4,000 90.

Last evening large throng gathered
on Second street in front of Daut's op-
tical parlors to listen to the youth, t.
Allen McQuary, which the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat has termed "the Mis-
souri, Don Quixote," who arrived in this
city Monday ON his way around the
world for $4,000 and bride, the daugh-
ter of rich Southern planter.
1t appears that McQuary fell desper-
ately in love with the young lady and
as the feeling was mutual they desired
to be married Immediately. The old
gentleman objeced and finally as bluff
offered McQuary his daughter and $4,000
if he would make the trip around the
world from east to west starting penni-
lees in Missouri on May 10, 1897, and re-
turning Is months later, having made
the trip on horseback and by water, and
forcing him to make the expenses of the
trip on his way.
McQuary's history of his experiences
as told in the little book which he sells
alter his lectures Is an interesting one
and too long to publish here, while his
lectures are interesting and instructive.
Mr.. McQuary will lecture again this
evening and has chosen The Dalles as
the place where he will secure a horse
and begin his long ride to Missouri and
has no doubt that he will be able to
reach his destination by the date which
is set for his arrival October 10Th of this
year. The young globe trotter is about
"a years of age, of pleasing appearance
and an interesting talker. He Is accord
ing to the contract dressed in the garb
of a knight of the Sixteenth century
and carries with him records and docu-
ments sufficient to convince the most
skeptical that he is not fake.

DRUGGIST.
Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.

The delinqent taxes of Wasco county,
as shown on the rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are 100000. an amount al
most equal to the indebtedness of the
county. Every citizen will doubtless
admit that this state of affairs should
not exist, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
in the past the county court Las shown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court.
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant has been attached to each de-
linquent roll commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by SEIZURE and sale of
property. With bountiful crop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea-
sonabIe excuse for the nou-payment of
taxes: The sheriff is bound by oath to
comply with the terms of the. warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collec-
ton thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure AMI sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.

Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco
County.
