A Strange Dog.

Will Strange tells story of the
passing of a dogs life last week that
serves to illustrate the intelligence Of
one of mans most useful servants.
Wills parents, MIR. and Mrs. B. F.
Strange, recently sold the old home
stead near Corvallis and moved to a
new place near Riverside. Old ''Shep,' .
whom he family had raised from a
pup, with eyes scarce open, of course
moved too. but he seemed reluctant to
to leave the old homestead. He was
nearly 18 years old, decrepit and
nearly blind Last week he disap-
peared. Upon being traced up il was
found that he had first visited the old
homestead and then he started to make
the rounds and see all the children. all
of whom are grown and married and
scattered in homes of their own
Shep visited James and Fred Strange.
Charley Johnson and Jesse Hustead,
making but short stops at each place.
He next started for the home Of Mrs.
Fayette Kelly, a married daughter.
but fell dead within 200 yards Of the
house. Had he survived to visit the
Kellys and viii Strange, he would
have completed his tour, and then per-
haps would have been ready to die
contented and at peace with all the
world

THE DEAD QUEEN.

The remains of the Queen of Eng
land, who has held the scepter Tor q
longer period than any other Engllsn
sovereign, will be laid to rest today
with that ceremony which we. citizens
OF republic, have never seen and
which we can never see nor under
stand so long as we adhere to the simple
customs of our fathers, But IN the
death of Queen Victoria. the most no
table example of queenly womanho0d
known to us, has passed away. The
gulf which divides the queen and the
woman oftimes is wide and deep.
Many has been the queen who has not
been a woman, save in sex. In some
every attribute of the real woman
seemed wanting, in fact it is difficult
as history discloses, to have the two
we'll developed in one and the same
person. The fiend has often worn the
queenly crown, the wild beast and In
deed the harlot have been often seen in
royal robes. Cleopatra of ancient days,
and bloody Mary of more modern, are
pictures which recall what q ueens have
been. but that other picture OF Queen
Victoria, tells us what queen may
be. tells that while queen and a wo
man must be one and the same, a real
queen must be real woman, the for.
mer being only creation of man. the
latter the creation of God, the latter sc
far above the former as the heavens
are above the earth. the queen, hui
man, the woman, divine. Victoria was
both, the sweetest, purest example Of
Royal woman which the world has
been called on to mourn. What il
England's loss is our loss also for hel
example illumined our paths as well al
those of her own subjects.

To Issue Warrants.

The following bill has been introduce
ed in the legislature by Mr.. Todd in
the House and Capt. Opie in the Sen
ate:
A Bill to authorize the board of SUI
perv1sors of Augusta county to is
sue warrants Ito pay for building,
furnishing the court house and clerk s
and other Offices and acquiring and
improving the grounds and to pay
interest thereon.
1. Be it enacted by the general as
sembly that in paying for the work of
building and furnishing the court
house, clerks and other offices and &C.
quiring and improving the grounds,
the board Of supervisors of said coun-
ty are authorized to issue warrants in
such sums as they may deem advisa-
BILE, make the same payable out of any
county levy then made or thereafter
to be made as they may deem best,
pledge the county for the payment of
such warrants and to pay interest
thereon.
e. That this act shall only be held to
authorize the issue of such warrants
for the purposes set out in the first
section and not to exceed in the aggre-
gate the sum of $50, 900. 90 and nothing
herein contained shall be construed to
change the existing law further than
may be necessary to carry into full eff
feet the objects of said first section.
8. This act shall be in force from it's
passage.

THAT THIEvINs SUBSIDY BILL.

There is $1s0.000, 900 in the subsidy
steal. Mr.. Hanna cannot see such a
round sum slip. He will reach out and
pluck it, whether like the tabled apple
of Hesperides it turns to ashes On his
lips or not. He will risk the transfer
nation, those who know him believe.
The principal argument in favor OF
this bill is that it will provide us trans
ports in time of war. This is re.
markable reason for robbing the people
of $3.50, 100000 Suppose we should
not have a war for SO or 100 years
where would the argument find itself
But on the other hand are we to have
wars all the time, or if we could get
ON without one, must we trump one up
just to show the wisdom o. the subsidy
bill !? The Republican party is In
power, it is mad with victory, 1t is de-
termined to commit any excess its
leaders desire, and this is one of the
steals which has been set down on the
program and it IS to be enacted. For
our part we wish the Democrats would
oppose 10 legislation that is offered.
Make the whole Republican steal,
and if the people like it, let them gorge
their maws on that kind of food. A
calf with too much rope usually hangs
itself, and the Republican party would
do so if let severely alone. Since the
Democrats have been charged with
bringing on the Spanish war there is
no telling what may next be charged
up against them, Certainly they do
not want to suffer for all other Repub-
lican crimes. Let them pass any bill.
Make standing army of million men
if they wish; subsidizs shipping, rail.
roads. telgraphs, standard oil. and all
other trusts, do anything they please,
but when the boiler bursts maybe the
Democrats can gather scraps.

A CASE OF .FOE-MANIA.

We are making wonderful prepara-
tions to defend ourselves against some
Imaginary foe. Every time money is
spent the excuse offered is that It's ex
penditure will enable us todefend our
selves in time of war. A chronic case
OF war is therefore anticipated. All
the world if we are to believe the gen.
tlemen Of the war party" is ready to
pounce down on us as the Assyrian
came down, like the wolf on the fold.
One can hardly sleep thinking over the
navies and armies, the subsidy bills,
the Notifications, the inter-oceanie
canals, in fact a thousand and one
other things now being shaped up as
matters of national defense. We are
certainly in great danger if not from
foreign foes, from some within our
own territory. That We have foes is a
dead certainty.

Thirty Years at Hard Labor.

second degree for the killing of Jennie
Bosschieter, on October IS, 1900, by

sequent assault together with George

to charge of assault, we're brought
into the Court of Oyer and Terminer
at Paterson, N. j., on Tuesday for SEN
tence by Judge Dixon.
McAlister, Campbell and Death were
each sentenced to thirty years impri-
sonment at hard labor, and Kerr to
fifteen years Imprisonment at hard
labor.
The sentences of all the men are the
full terms of imprisonment, which the
law provides, but IN the case of Kerr a
fine of $1,000 might been added.

NOT CALLED FOR GENERAL LEGIS
LATlON,

The evident tendency of our Legisla.
ture, now in session, is to leave Itself
untrammeled in so far as legislation is
concerned. This is wise. While we
are not an advocate of legislation, for
we want just as little as it is possible
to enact, still we are not for shutting
the door, by resolution, but are fol
keeping it as well closed and guarded
as the good sense of our representa-.
tives will permit. There is not much
needed Legislation at present, but there
may be some, and all that is needed
should be taken up, but it should be
understood at once and forever that
the people will not be pleased il this
special special session should assume
the role of a general session, and 20
into any and every kind of law making
They were not convened for that pur.
pose, they were convened to elect a
few officers and arrage for the consti.
tutional convention, and then they
should adjourn, having, as we say,
passed a few measures of pressing
need. We hope this will be the course
whether the doors are left open OF
not. To bar them with a resolution
looks as if the body was afraid of itself,
condition much to be deprecated in
any deliberatiys body. If afraid of
themselves the fear would likely be
greater with those at home, so such
semblance of fear should be avoided,
lest there be q stampede of their con
stltuents, and general out cry raised
by the country.
