THE FINANCE BILL
SENATOR ALLISON DEALS WITH
THE MEASUPn IN A LARGE,
GENERAL WAY.
Public Building Bills Passed by Both
Branches of Congress-House Ad-
journs asa Mark of Respect for the
Late Congressman Chickering of
New York.

Washington, Feb. l3.-SOon after the
senate convened today a bill appropri-
ating $4,000 for the enlargement of
the public building al Portland. Ore,
was passed.
The financial bill was then laid be-
fore the senate, and Mr.. Allison Of
Iowa, the ranking member of the
finance committee. addressed the senate
on the measure. He was accorded un-
usual attention, as it was fully realized
chat he represented the attitude of the
republican side of the chamber.
Mr.. Allison said he did not propose
to enter upon a general discussion Of
the financial questions that had been
more or less considered during the past
measure it was proposed to deal with
the currency question in a large and
general way. Mr.. Allison referred to
the senate substitute for the house bill,
and said there vas no proposition to
change the existing currency-gOld and
silver certificates, gTeenbacks, treasury
notes and national bank notes.
Mr.. Allison said that from 1892 to
1873 this country had a double stand
ard of value. He said that since the
enactment of the law of 1873 there had
not passed current a single dollar Of
any kind Of United States money that
was not absolute parity with the gold
dollar. The passage of this bill would
practically re-enact the provisions of
the law of 1878.
Mr.. Jones of Nevada followed Mr.. AL
lison in an argument against the bill.

ABOLITION OF PRISON LocKsrEF

ABOLITION OF PRISON LoCKSTEP.
To the uninitiated the lockstep is an
interesting performance. 1t originated
from the necessity Of handling large
bodies of convicts as compactly as pos
sible. Each mans hands rest upon the
shoulders, while his knees fit into the
backs. of the knees of the man before
him. This necessitates a short, shuf-
fling step, and swaying motion, which
it is claimed seldom leaves him. For
this reason its abolition is urged. This
demonstrates the power of habit. An
other habit hard to get rid of is consti-
patton; but there is a remedy that will
cure this, as we'll as dyspepsia, indiges-
ton and biliousness, and that is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. 1t is a mag
n~iflcent tonic for the whole system,
purifying the blood and improving the
appetite. Try it.

HAVE THE SAME SUPERSTITION
Islanders Fifteen Thousand Miles Apart
 Believe in Evil Spirits.

ssianoers rnteen Thousand Miles Apart
 Believe in Evil Spirits.
 Philosophic people who belong to the folk lore society are fond of tracing legends and myths and customs all over the world. Cinderella, the dear girl, is found in one knows not how many peoples, speaking innumerable tongues and believing an equal num- Der of religions. How did Cinderella become ubiquitous? The transactions or the Folk Lore society will perhaps offer theory. Now, there has been unraveled curious superstition con- mon to Shetlanders and Singhalese How islanders so wide apart-some 15,- O00 miles-managed to adopt each oth- er's views one does not know. But here is the fact. The rice cultivators of Geylon and the fishermen of Shetland resemble each other in one or two rather remarkable points. They re- frain from speaking of the implements 1 of their calling by their names; they | call them something else, by names known only to themselves. The reae son is that if the evil spirit were to l think that they were speaking of spades and rakes or of nets and hooks he would be tempted to damage them or even to appropriate them. The train of thought is the same with both l races. '.There is an evil spirit always on the lookout for opportunities of do- ing miseh fl. He even hears what we say. If we let him understand that we are talking about our implements and tools we shall direct his attention to them and shall suggest to him way of doing an injury. Therefore we will agree to call boat or 8 spade by some fancy name known only to ourselves" !" 1 Another custom of the Shetlander, not possible to the rice grower, is that if in fishing his net catches something at the bottom and a stone is brought up 1t is not to be thrown back again for fear of offending the evil Spirit, who most certainly put 1t into the net. It is to be kept in the boat until the net again catches. Then 1t is to be dropped in the water with the words: Take your own and give me mine," where upon the net is at once released. Now. if the Singhalese were to turn fisher, would he, following the same line of thought, adopt similar custom?- Pittsburg Dispatch.

Jacob W. Whitehead, a storekeeper of Nes Paris, Ind, is short s65 in cur- rency asd his horse has risen in value Whitehead went home late and climbed the stairs of the barn to throw down hay to the family nag. In his pocket he had pocketbook contain ing five ten-dollar bills, one i've and len ones. This dropped from his socket as he bent over to pick up the hay. Whitehead did not miss the money until the next morning. He then searches the barn, and found a few fragments of the pocketbook. to- gether with tiny bits of the bills. The faithful animal had devoured the hay and yalorousIy tackled the pocket hook and contents. leaving nothing with which Whitehead could make nroof of his loss at the treasury.-Cht

SENT TWICE ACROSS OCEAN
Whisky Is Seasoned by the Voyages Is
 Takes While in Bond.

Takes While in Bond.
 Large shipments of whisky Tn bond from American to European ports are constantly being made. It is not de signed for foreign consumption. but will shortly be returned here and placed CD sale at the best bars in the country Several thousand barrels are now awaiting shipment at our seaports, While some of the whisky will be sent by Baltimore owners, the most of 1t will be from Cincinnati and other western cities. After being kept in European warehouses for six months or year the greater part will then be brought back to this country for sale. The whisky to be sent out Is of the 1891 and 1892 distillation, which must be taken out of the bonded warehouses because the eigh-year limit has exptr' ed. Whisky may be stored in bonded warehouse eight years without being subject to the international revenue of $110 gallon. At the expiration ol eight years it must be takek out. Rath- CT than pay the tax and lose the use of the money until the sale of the goods, some owners prefer to ship their sur. plus stock to the other side and store them there until needed claiming that the cost of freight both ways and stor- age in Europe will be less than the cost Of meeting internal revenue re- suirements at a time when there is no demand for the goods. The tax Is only required to be paid when whisky is put on the market for consumption, so that goods shipped to Europe In bond are not taxed. They are brought back as required by the demands of the market here Goods remaining in this country out of bond are supposed to be on the market. This method is pur- sued by dealers and distillers who overload themselves. The output in 1892 was heavier than the demand, and It is part of the surplus which is now going to Europe to await the time when it must be brought back to os placed on the market.

Fine Cattle.

w. o. Minor, the well known cattle
man of Heppner, is perhaps the proud
est stockman in Eastern Oregon at the
present writing, He hasa right to be.
Mr.. Minor owns the finest herd ofShort-
horn cattle in the state, in which he has
invested large amount of money dur
ing the past few years but it remained
for him to cap the climax by recent
purchase which made him the owner Of
the best Shorthorn COW in America.
The purchase was made in Indiana and
included the champion COW and year
ling heifer calf. The animals arrived
in Arlington last Saturday night from
the East. The COW cost Mr.. Minor
$3.50. and the heller cost him $3.50, be-
sides freight charges. The COW weighs
2S00 pounds and the yearling looks as
heavy as the ordinary fullgrown Eastern
Oregon COW. Mr.. Minor is an enthusi-
astic admirer Of the Shorthorn breed oi
cattle and hopes some day to be the
owner Of the best herd Of that breed in
America.
