1 PROPHET.

When John w. Gates fired the shot that was heard around the world at the bull market he was denounced as a liar, a thief and a villain of several
 other descriptions. But subsequent events have shown that while Mir. Gates was probably not telling the truth so much for truths sake as for the sake of his pocketbook, he was tell ing the truth The prices of iron and steel have gone down and 1t has been generally acknowledged that production must be decreased Now comes the Iron Age and says that iron and steel prices must be placed very low if bus mess is to improve.

SOM z HOPE.

If, after the definite reports of the { massacre of all the foreigners at Pekin, 1t should turn out that the foreign ministers have been protected and saved there would be much rejoicing. It Is impossible to tell what news from China is reliable and what is not, but hope will be revived by the dispatch sent by Admiral Bruce to London from Taku, under date of July ', to the ef- ! feet that there are grounds for hoping that Prince Ching, with his army, is at Pekin protecting the legations against Prince Tuan, his army and the Boxers. Minister Wu at Washington says that Prince Ching, who, according to Ad- miral Bruce, Is attacking the Boxers, | is not only the head of the TsungLi- of the Pekin garrisons. There are sev- eral garrisons in Pekin each composed 1 of a separate nationality, and Ching commands the Manchu force. At last advices this force comprised about ten thousand soldiers. They had been drilled in foreign tactics at the military school of the North by instructors who had been taught the art of war by German officers and would undoubtedly prove very effective The minister also points out that the movement has de- generated into rioting and looting all principle having been lost, and so it is reasonable to expect that the strongest and best and most influential of the Chinese mandarns will find it necessary to combine to crush the Boxers, from an instinct of lf-preservation and re- gardless of their foreign or anti-foreign sentiments.
 It is almost too much to expect that the ministers will come safely out of Pekin, but it is cheering to know that there is some ground for hope.

For two hours the infantry lay expos ed to a commanding fire of all arms. It seemed that we were about to have a repetition of Spion Kop, and that our infantry would be dislodged for want of artillery support. Casualty succeed ed casualty among the prostrate men Then with a magnificent effort Connolly hauled the Eighty-second battery on to the plateau. It unlimbered amid tor nado of concentrated fire, but Withstood the blast. Fifteen rounds of it's shrap- nel at one thousand yards had their ef- feet; the five-inch guns found the posi- tions of the enemy's quickflres and the enemy broke.
 The long extended line of prostrate men who had taken punishment all day leaped to their feet and a shimmering line of bayonets swept forward to the assault. The Boer position was taken just at nightfall. The casualties were about one hundred in our infantry The enemy evacuated all their positions completely and fell back before mid night.-London Times.

vide folds fitting up over the shoulder, but that is not necessary. The fichu that rounds down over the shoulders seems the most admired, though one that is drawn higher a. the shoulders and that reveals the throat in a point front and back is graceful The fichu may be draped over a high necked gown, too.
 Fluffy fronts for bodices are fewer though the white ones are as numer- ous as ever. This is because of the style for bodices that are straight from belt to bust. and also because summer styles afford so many other and newer ways of displaying airy and dainty mo- tions. If one has a skirt that pillows with ruffles and is decked out with elab- crate scarfing. she has no need to build out the front of her above the waist with a foam of lace. The lack of such fronts does not signify that they are out of style, but rather, that so many dress es do not require any such finish. With a gown made throughout in severe out lines, the fluffy front is as desirable as ever, unless the wearer may wish to announce to everyone the fact that she has endorsed the new up-and-down cor set On a dress like that shown here any degree of f1uffiness in the front is permitted. This gown was dark blue linen, and was finished with bands of the goods, white stitching and white duck revers embroidered in blue. Tail or finish for linens and kindred ia brics is very abundant just now.

TRAILING SHEEP,
How an Immense Flock is Driven from

How an Immense Flock is Driven from Oregon to Market.
 | J. | Carson, well known sheep drover. is in Portland preparing to start Ion the trail with $500 yearling wethers, purchased in Morrow county. He says he would like to buy about six thousand more, but remarked. "They are holding 'em too high for me- l am willing to pay $225 q head for wethers and $2.75 for ewes but eastern Oregon sheepmen think they are worth more, so we can't trade.
 MT, Carson says he will start his big flock just as soon as the sheep have been shorn. He will probably ship by train from Heppner to Huntington and ferry across the Snake river near the terminus of oregon Railroad and Nav igation He has not vet solved the problem as regards crossing Wyoming, as the new quarantine law of that state was framed to prevent trailing across it's lands. He is thinking therefore of spending the summer and fall in the Wood River Mountains, and will decide in the mean4me how to invade Wyo- ming.
 He thinks this will be the last band of sheep "trailed' across the state of Idaho, as the Snake river plains are now nearly all claimed for range, end the water has been about all taken up. In one locality he will have a twenty five-mile drive between watering places and as six miles a day is a fair days travel the sheep will have to go with out water for four days on a stretch. He will drive over this region in the night time, as the weather will be too hot to enable the animals to travel without water. The country along there is sagebrush and sand, and great care will have to be exercised in order to avoid losing sheep. He will provide ,ha band with twenty bells, he says, and by counting these and the black sheep frequently the men will be able to miss any large bunch that might be left be, hind.

H4s7Y srsrER COLLINS.

Mrs. Emma Collins has, 1t appears,
 new love before she was really off with
 the old. A month ago she was granted
 a divorce by Judge Simmons at Fort
 Scott Kansas, The next day she mar
 ried J. H. Johnson of Joplin, Missouri.
 The judge, learning of her intentions,
 wired her a warning that if she mar
 ried so soon after being divorced he
 would set the divorce decree aside. The l telegram was received half an hour af-
 ter the wedding. Since that time she
 has remained in Joplin. At the com
 mand of the judge the young woman appeared the other day in his court, all though her friends had exerted every possible influence to mollify the inex- orable judge. Judge Simmons used some very pertinent and pointed phrases in the scoring he administered to the delinquent. He said: Your method of transacting business was too swift for me. At the moment the court was seriously engaged in the unpleas- ant duty of severing your marriage re- lations with one man you were spread ing the feast for a wedding to another. Our statute expressly stipulates that the decree does not become absolute until six months after it's rendition.  You made use of the statutes of Kansas to obtain a divorce, and then in utter disregard of those statutes you married in Missouri. Duty requires that such an example be set in your case that others may be deterred from following vertise the Sixth Judicial district of Kansas as a dumping ground for do- mestlc infelicities of matrimonial ad venturers.' Having told the young woman what he thought of her, Judge Simmons then set the divorce decree aside, so that she is the wife of Mir. Collins once more, and the marriage ceremony with MT. Johnson becomes | void or bigamous. It Is reported that she will apply for divorce in Missouri. | hoping for better luck next time.
 In time Sister Collins will doubtless | be able to get things fixed to her satis- | faction, but the next time sine wants ! to be married she will be careful that | both her hat and her divorce are straight.

open, but now we expect more or less trouble from people who claim the grass all along the route. We can hunt and fish while the sheep are resting during the heat of the day, and our frequent change of location creates perpetual novelty Once in a while some irate farmer or cattleman gets after us, fear ing our fiocks will eat his grass all up before we get by, but we have thus far avoided any serious trouble, and we hope to pull through without any in this, our last, trailing venture across Idaho''

FASHION NOTES.
As Flchus Ar" Drnped.

Fichus play an important part in cur rent fashions. Many of them are long scarf shape, narrow at the ends and widened towards the middle. All around goes a soft frill and sometimes this is a little widened on one edge as 1t ap- breaches the wide part of the scarf. The scarf is folded double so that the wide flounce edge hangs a little deeper than the other. Sometimes the shape of the scarf is a little modified to in- crease this effect, and the edge that is to hang deepest is curved down. Such a fichu folds softly over the shoulders, high or low, and the ends are loosely knotted just above the bust hanging to about the knees. The simplest costume is made beautiful by such shoulder fin- ish. The fichu may be. shaped to pro-

The agricultural papers are sounding | notes of warning about the Belgian ] hare fad, which has overtaken the Pa cific coast and parts of the Middle | West, and threatens to extend east ward. "Go slow with this graceful, long-eared rodent" advises the Ameri-
 can Agriculturist. Papers in Califor mia, with an eye on the future, are questioning the wisdom of the craze. The danger is in thu wonderful produc- tivity of the animals. An authority says that with a pair for a start it is easily possible to close the first year with three hundred young. This sug- gests the possibility of untold millions in few years and the setting loose of many of them to prey upon the crops
 Of course, the experience of Australia is cited. There the rabbits, originally introduced only thirty years ago for colonist sport, have overrun the sheep farms and made a veritable desert of vast grain areas. At one time one hun dred million acres was infested with them in Australia; the government has paid millions of dollars to eradicate the pest and to this day is utterly unable to successfully cope with it.

HOW TO CHEER AN INVALID.

HOW TO CHEER AN INVALID. As a proof of thougthfulness, carry flowers, and I advise you to select fra grant ones. There are some to the in fluence of which strong men have been known to succumb. If the magnolia
 and the jessamine are not in season, the hyaclnth or tuberose will do as well.
 You will never know just the apprecia- tion that gift inspires, for courtesy de- mands that not until the front door is
 closed behind you may it be sent to the furthest corner of whatever sized back
 yard your friend possesses. Even the
 modest violet has been renounced with speed which spoke well for the unsel-
 fishness and kindness of heart of the
 favored recipient. There are some civ ilized people who feel that strong per- fumes are barbaric and belong to the Oriental along with the bangle and the nose-jewel. But this doubtless is a somewhat morbid feeling, so do not re- gard it.
 If not convenient to visit the florist. the next resource is to make some del- icacy with your own hands How the poor patients eyes will sparkle when you tell her you have brought her some lemon jelly and that it cant hurt her. Indeed, it cannot. You are only the ninety eighth person whose thought fulpess has been run into mould but there is redress even for wrongs like this. Doubtless there are compassion ate neighbors to take it off her hands, even if the household boasts no omniv- erous boy or goat. Your delight in con- cocting and presenting that questiona- ble compound, compared to her delight in passing it along, will be 'as moon light unto sunlight and as water unto wine" So you are sure to give pleasure whatever you do.- Self-Culture Maga- zine.

If we are going to stay in the Far East, and the present indications are that we are, it is plain that we shall need a cable to the Philippines. As things are now the government at Washington can communicate with Ma nia only in the. most roundabout way and it's communications are at any point subject to foreign interference. The existing route of cablegrams from Washington to Manila is as follows: To New York by land; to Vaentia, Ireland, by cable; to Brighton, England, by cable and land; to Havre, France, by cable; to Marseilles, by land; to Alexandria, Egypt by cable; to Suez, Egypt, by land; to Alden, Arabia, by cable to Bombay, India, by cable to Madras, by land; to Singapore, Malayar Peninsula by cable; to Saigon, Cochin China by cable; to Hong Kong, by cable; to Manila, Philippine Islands, by cable-the distance being 14000 miles and the number of transmissions four teen And for this communication the government is now paying about $400,- 900 annually for it's own messages.

The superiority of American shoes is recognized in Germany, but according to Der Schumarkt, a Berlin trade jour- nal, this does not mean that shoes will be imported from this country. An English firm has adopted American ma chinery and the factory system of this country, and is turning out shoes on American models. It has forty retail establishments in England and France, and is about to open others in various German cities. This leads the German trade journals to suggest that the rem edy for foreign competition is not a protective tariff, but the prompt adop- ton of American models and American machinery by German manufacturers In fact, it is announced that a Dussel- dorf firm has already produced num- Der of original American forms, copied from the product of first-class, very ex- pensive American manufacturers.
