JOHNS LETTER.
HIS PATRIOTISM WAKES WARN, UNTIL
HE BoILs OVER WITH INDIGNATION.

We were at East Hebron Grange last
Saturday, the first time In six months.
We hope hereafter circumstances will
permit US to attend those pleasant and
profitable gatherings oftener than twice
q year. The entertainment was rather
unique that day, AZ with other exercises
known to Changers, we had pbono-
graph or talking machine, owned and
operated by Arthur Purkis of the Turner
Grange. Wonderful invention, and we
csnnot understand L.! 1t IL about as
difficult TO understand the old original
talking machine that was set up In the
shape Of Adam, copies Of which have
been produced and reproduced more
times since than we will undertake to
enumerate.
DR.. Gushing Of Turner Grange gave q
very interesting paper on the Flag. II
was able and we could respond heartily
to all be said. But isn't II too bsd, isn't
II burning shame, that the dear old
fisg can flirt and fly as gaily from q GIN
mill as from school house, and that the
mill enjoys the same protection under
the government and under the flag!
II you have al the qualifications Of
teacher you are given . certificate to
that effect, and there you are. II you
have the requisite mesnness needed TO
make first-class saloon keeper, you get
. certificate from hell, the government
endorses It, and there you are-under
the protecting folds Of the Stars and
Stripes. All you need is Uncle Sans
monogram on your collar, and you have
the right to do wrong-under the flag.
But you will excuse Us for boiling
over once In while when the fire starts
up. A little pot Is soon hot, don't you
know? What are We going to do about
II? Well, we are going to let others vote
for the continuance Of such condition
Of things, and we hope they will be as
considerable and let as vote the other
way. JOHN.

Died, at his residence In Lowell vii.
lsge, June 10th, Algernon G. Walker,
aged thirty-eight years, leaving q wife
and two little boys, and q widowed
mother, as those whom his loss touches
the hardest.
A deep shadow of sadness and gloom
is cast upon this community by the death
OF Algernon, or Allie, az he was afYec-
tionstely known by his frieuds-or rath-
er, might say, BY the whole communi-
ty, for all that knew him we're his
friends; for Allie Was like his father.
1.-THE Deacon" In the characteristic that
he was always very, very careful not to
give any one any good grounds for
0ffense. He never was ready to quarrel.
! have before now given him good cause
for quarrel, but Allie never was ready,
and It always ended by nv thinking
more Of him and less Of myself.
He was In partnership 10 business with
quite Q number-E. e. Hastings, Esq,
Z. N. Fox, George II. Moore, and Others.
All liked to have Allie for psrtner, for
he was good business man; cautions,
leyel-haeded, called 'slucky," but his
luck was that he hid good judgment and
good common sense. Many came to
drop tear upon bis grave. A kind man
everywhere, he was particularly so In his
family.
Four years ago, before 1.-THE Deacon"
died, that home was little Paradise
Today the "idols are broken" and two
heart-brokeu women, mother and wife,
are left with two little boys, just ct the
age when fathers care Is needed most.
But he has left them the best legacy any
man can leave to his children-'a good
name and fair fame" We cannot real
lie that we shall zee no more that twink
ling, mirthful eve and that ready smile I;

Latest sdviees from Oregon show that
the Republican plurslities in last
months elections in that state were
larger than at first reported. The Re
publican candidate for governor had a
plurality Of more than 10000, almost ex-
setly the same as IL was in 1895. For
congressman, the combined plurality of
the two Republican candidates WAS about
IL 800, or 800 more than the plurality
given 10 the same candidate in 1898, and
fully 10000 larger than the straight Re
publican plurality on congressman In
1895 IL should be remembered also that
In 1896 there was no fusion Of the oppo-
sition vote, whereas this year all the
parties opposed TO the Republicans form
ed as complete fusion as WAS ever
made. Besides this, Mr.. Bryan had
made tour Of Oregon few weeks be-
fore the election.
