Last week General Eagan called
General Miles liar and everything
else uncomplimentary. President
Mckinley has ordered him court
martialed. A salutary lesson in
army etiquette will doubtless be ad-
minlstered, and it will be none too
severe if he is turned out of the
service. Gentlemanly conduct in
every walk of life is never at dis
count. The world, corrupt as it is,
observes and renders judgement in
favor of the manly man, every
time.

Wednesday of this week Hon.
Elmo Davis introduced bill fixing
the salaries of Sheriff of Lincoln
county at $500 and that of Clerk
at $I25o. Other officers salaries
are not mentioned. At these fig.
ures these officers are to pay their
their own deputy and clerk hire.
The clerks salary is raised only
$50 while the sheriff7s remains the
same. The only real benefit to be
seen from this act is that the salar.
les of these officers are taken from
the control of the county court and
permanent.

Lively Bidding.

There was sheriff's sale of real
property on the steps of the court
house Saturday that had a sensa-
tional announcement. The property
sold was the 100 acre farm west of
town on which the Wells & Mackey
hop yard is situated. The mort
gage was held by the school land
commission, and the total charge
against the property including all
costs was $I,495.3S.
There was lively bidding. The
like has not been seen on the stone
steps in long time. The sale
started with bid of $1,000 and
offer followed offer until it was
finally knocked down to w. A.
Wells for $2,495. The sale was
for cash in hand, and a check for
the amount was Immediately passed
to Deputy Sheriff Burnett.
The sensational part of the sale
was the disposition of the proceeds.
The property under stimulus of
competition had brought an even
81 900 more than the amount
of the judgment. The property
was owned jointly by William
Mackey and J. M. Brandeberry. the
latter representing w. A. Wells.
1t is supposed that each party ex-
pected an equal division of the ex-
cess that the property brought over
the judgment. But the overplus
all went to William Mackey. 1t
was so determined in the decree OF
the court which provides as follows:
That sometimes after the execution
of the said mortgage said Defen-
dant William Mackey became the
owner of the undivided one-half OF
said land, and as a part of the COLI
sideration thereof he assumed the
payment of the said note and mort
gage, and thereby became respon-
sible to this plaintiff for the amount
due on said note and mortgage,
n it is therefore adjudged
and decreed that the plaintiff have
and recover of and from the defen-
dants Mahala and J. H. Burk and
William Mackey the sum of 81 ,266
and costs = After provid-
ing for satisfaction of judgment, "
the decree continues, land the over
plus. if any, shall be paid over to
the said defendant William Mackey
his heirs or assigns" !" That if the
said premises do not sell for enough
to satisfy the amount due plaintiffs
the plaintiffs may have execution
for the deficiency. if any, against
any other property belonging to
the defendants Mahala Burk, 7. H.

The Wife and Her Husbands Business

The Wife and Her Husbands Business
ut is cause of amazemen, to
me that a man can go on, year in
and year ont, toiliug for a family
whose members show no interest in
his work further than to spend the
money he makes, and look upon
him as the family mint. My firm
belief is that had he, in the frs,
flush of married lie, talked over
his business and ambitions with
his wife, she would have become
interested in both, first for his sake,
and after for her own and their
children's. Think of the gulf tha,
lies between a man and woman
united in marriage when he never
speaks at home Of the affairs which
absorb his entire day! Mutual
interests will bind people together

H. I. Raines, Esq.
My Dear SIR
l am just in receipt
of yours of recent date in reference
to the Indian war Pension bill now
pending before congress. This is
but one of quite large number Of
letters on this subject, the particu-
lar object of which at this time
do not exactly understand. These
letters certainly are not needed in
order to spur either myself or the
other members of the Oregon dele
cation to energetic action in behalf
of this bill. We are each doing
everything that it is possible. The
bill twice passed the Senate, in a
previous Congress received the
favorable report of the House com.
mittee, but in this Congress the
committee so far neglected to make
any report. 1 feel confident that
this is at the request of the Speaker
of the House, who for some unex.
planned reason or other, seems tc
oppose the bill, we shall continue
to do everything possible to urge
action, and so far as am concerned
shall give the Committee no peace
during the remainder of this session
OF Congress, or the next, until i,
acts upon this matter. am send.
ing out now letter to each member
of the Committee urging the in.
justice of their action in producing
this delay. The continued neglect
to pass some measure giving a
suitable recognition to the Indian
war veterans is fragrant injustice
unworthy of great government
The government committed almost
a crime in not furnishing the neces.
sary assistance to the early settlers
In the west to protect themselves
and their neighbors against Indian
aggression. 1t seems to me the
present as we'll as previous con
crosses, have continued to approve
and condone this crime. I sincere.
ly hope that justice will yet be
done, and I shall labor in ever,
way possible to secure it. Certain
ly no class of people who evel
rendered services to this govern,
ment in any Of its wars deserved
better treatment at the hands of the
people than the Indian war veterans
am certainly going to do every.
thing in my power to secure them
justice.
Truly and Sincerely yours,
