Town LIKE A CHECKER BOARD.

Town LIKE A CHECKER BOARD.
The curious manner IN VIII ch Cullodin.
a town on the Chesapeake & Ohio r.
R is laid out is attracting attention
and exciting inquiry. There Is probably
no other town in the country like it,
CullodIu is the centre Of prosperous
community, the majority Of whose
citizens believe in obtaining their liquors
from blind tigers, or who. at least, are
opposed to the license system B-fore
the town was incorporated, the county
district aIways voted against license.
The license advocates then began to
think up a plan by which they could get
what they wanted, and at the same time
not max their temperate neighbors
appear in an inconsistent light In
accordance with their plans, while the
temperance element iguratlvelY slept,
the hauor people had the engineer Law
out the town in such a manner as TO
exclude all those opposed to license and
include all those who believe in ii.
Such a course made the boundary line
look like a streak of lightning, or an
outline drawing OF meanderings OF a
license man after his ticket carried. The
line starts of all right, at given point.
When IL reaches the preachers house,
the line suddenly turns in aud runs along
hrs fence, and excluding him from the
rights o citizenship, goes she oting out
over a cornfe d hall mile to ge. in the
property Ol a man who likes to get his
liquor over licensed bar.
Il was a hard Job zigzagging the line
to beat out all the anti license people
aud 10 include all the others. but the
Iicr nse people succeeded. and culloden
now always votes "wet"
Another curloos result is that the
town improvements are made according
to the crooked boundaries, and the
street paving resembles a checkerboard.
The geographical centre Of the real
town Is outside the limits. willis a ten
foot vide extension Is made, to include
the furthermost house visible from the
railroad station. Thers are a3 voters.
They are all "wet," and three fourths

BKRNHRIM BROTHERS,

of Louisville. KY, are citizens OF whom
any community would be proud. Their
gift Of a statue OF Jefferson, last week,
to the city of their residence displays
great liberality, a recognition OF wealth
as a public trust, and an appreciation
of the life principle OF American civiliz
alton and progress as exemplified by the
life and work OF the man whose memory
thew would honor, Their proposition
to donate a sum Of money to provide
prizes for ESSAYS on national characters
and events by pupils OF the public
schools, as a means OF cultivatinE patri.
otism and an interest in public affairs.
IS no less commendable than the GIFT Of
the statue OF the foremost statesman OF
the age.
Louisville has other rich men, and
thers has been a general complaint OF
lack Of public spirit and public coopera
ton for the genera! advancement Of the
community. 1t is hoped that the Bern
hem Bros have set an example that will
be speedily followed by other men Of
great wealth. and that new era ofPublic
spirit and public cooperation and prog
ress for the Kentucky metropolis has
set in.
The Bernheim Brothers are among
the country's leading dlstIllers.

THE FRUIT SITUATION.
S. A. Herring, Reliable Authority Talks
About II,

Mr.. Sam Herring Of Portland, general
agent of the Fruit Growers Express Co.,
is in the city on business. In speaking
of the fruit trade throughout the Lewis
ton valley. he said: "There is no reason
why the fruit of this section should not
command good, profitable figure this
season, as the fruit in this section is
practically as early as California this
year. OF course there is nothing which
should bring extraordinary prices, but a
great deal of attention is being attracted
from the outside in favor of Lewiston
valley fruit and the demand for it is
growing constantly. This is evidenced
by the fact that our shipments have been
materially more this year than any prev
ious year, and the business is just open
ing up. Your valley will ship considera.
BILE, owing also to the fact that in the
Willamette valley, the crop is almost a
total failure, having been affected by the
frosts and open winter. The Italian
prunes are all killed as we'll as all other
fruits being damaged. am up in this
section trying to arrange and encourage
the fruit growers to ship their fruits east,
which can be proftably done if packed
correctly, and shipped in the proper
kind Of refrigerator cars. We handle
about IS per cent of the fruit crop ol
California and shipper cannot be toe
careful in the kind Of refrigerators his
fruit is shipped in. will, in all proba
bility finish my business here today and
will leave for Spokane in the morning.

The news reached the city Sunday
morning that j. N. Welden had been
drowned the evening before in the slough
one half mile below Silcott's ferry on the
north side of Clearwater.
Mr.. Weldin was the well known dairy
Clearwater. He owned and resided upon
the Hillside Martin ranch. On Saturday
evening in company with his eight-year-
old son he started late on horseback to
drive up his dairy herd. The cattle ranged
along the river and recently they had
been crossing to the island near the
state line. On this occasion the cows
were on the island. The little son was
left OH the main land while the father
forded the slongh. The cattle were
driven across where the water was deep.
Mr.. Weldin told the boy to drive them
home while he went down the stream to
the ford. This was the last seen of him
alive.
The boy however, saw the horse his
father had been riding swimming in the
water without the rider; and he saw the
horse and empty saddle on the island as he
ascended the hill toward home during
the evening. The eight-year old boy
| however, was only able to follow the
cattle almost at the will of his saddle horse
He did not realize the significance ol
what he saw nor would he have been
able to render assistance in an emer
gency.
| When the boy reached home he re-
lated the events. Mrs. Welden mounted
| the horse and road, toward the river
meeting the horse with the empty
saddle. The animal was wet. The
lady's fears were fully aroused
1t was then dark. She could find no one
to aid her in her desperation. She spent
several hours in the lonely search for her
husband. She tried to arouse help but
only at late hour did she get help. She
spent lonely night along the river and
between the river and her lonely
home where her babies waited il
sorrow the fate Of their father.
1t was not until morning that a
thorough search was made. The slough
though only small and shallow, did no
reveal its secret until almost the las
effort had been exhausted.

NEW YORK JOURNALS POLL.

w. r. Hearst, through his pa
per, the New York Journal, claims
the election Of BRYAN.
He declares that Bryan will car
fy New York, but that New York
is not essential to Democratic
success.
The Journal presents d poll of
ALT doubtful States aud con-
cludes that Bryan is certain Of
s197 votes, Mckinley of 1888, and
and that III are doubtful
This poll gives Maryland, West
Virginia, Kentucky. Colorado,
Idaho, Nebraska, Kansas, Wyom-
ing to Bryan. New Jersey, Of all
the doubtful States Ii conceded
to McKinloy.
The following States are put
down as doubtful by The journal /:
New York, Delaware, North Da-
kota, Ohio, indiana, Illinois, Cal
.ifornia and Washington.
The Journal gives Bryan 1877
certain votes. This does not in
clude New York, but The Journal
claims he wll carry that State,
which VIII give him nine votes
more than is necessary to elect.
But even if he should lose
New York, The Journal figures he
would win, claiming that he would
get the necessary n votes else
where. Illinois and Delaware or
Illinois and Washington would do
it. The journal declares Bryan's $
chances in Ohio, Indiana or Illi-
nois are better than McKinley's.
"There are dozen combina-
tions that mean defeat for William
Mckinley and William j. Bryan
will be the next president of the

States" Mr.. Hearst's paper con-
fidently declares.

old Dem ,crat into a powerful arm
of the forces which redeemed
Louisiana from the domination
of the negro and carpetbag ele-
ment. But Major Hearsey's mind
is so keen in its appreciation of
daily events and he has so readily
gathered knowledge of what is re-
quisite to q great daily newspaper.
That no one who has been thrown
into intimate personal contact
with him doubts that if he cared
to concern himself with the actual
and practical management of his
paper, the result would be largely
to its gain. He is content, how
ever, toleave the general direction
Of its affairs to those he has assoc
ciated with him, while he sets the
metes and bounds within which
the estates" may always be clean
in its columns and conservative in
its news. His own editorial writ
ing is perhaps unlike that of any
journalist of the South, and ex--
cept when marred by undue acer-
bisy, is clear, concise, cultivated,
entertaining and brilliant. he
writes with wonderful facility,
ilIumines his editorials with the
charm and polish which extensive
reading gives, and has never yet
failed to command the attention of
his readers, wide rs in the variety
of subjects he discusses, whether
they sympathize with his ideas or
findthem selves in strenuous op-
position thereto.
Ellis personality is engaging
and if there is one thing more at
tractive about him than another,
it is his entire approachableness
at all times. He is. on terms of
close friendship with mem in every
department of his paper. Some
Of these have been with him for
many years and there is none but
holds him in high personal esteem.
Times happen when his too con-
iding nature and his loyalty to
to friends lead him into mistaken
generosity and now and then his
sympathy with those in misfortune
tends to temper his publicly ex-
pressed opinions. On the broad
principles Of government, Of rcli-
gion, of politics and Of passing
