Some curious inequalities are
noted in the Kansas crop situation.
At some points farmers are giving
pound and a quarter of wheat for
a pound of csrn, yet it seems to be
agreed by the authorities that for
almost every purpose a pound Of
heat is worth more than a pound
Of corn. At Wellington bran and
shorts are selling at sll per half
ton, yet farmers are selling their
wheat at little over 8 per half ton.
It seems unreasonable that bran
shorts should be worth more than
the wheat from which they are
made, particularly when the -four
product taken from the wheat is
worth more than sl7 per half ton.

Of rejoicing. Sunday morning there
was a parade of 10000 school children

The United States was the only coun-
try that had helped Cuba in her time

the Washington government was now
deceiving the Cubans. The work of in
tervention was long and difficult, but,
in his opinion, everything would be set

The Deadlock Is Broken by the ELcc-
ton of John III. Mitchell
Legislature Adjourns.

Salem, Ore, Feb. 25.-John FL.
Mitchell was elected United States
senator from Oregon at 1875 Sun
day morning. The Legislature was
obliged to adjourn sine die at the
close of Saturdays session, and fail,
ure to elect would have left va
cancy. The legislature was in con
tinuous session all day. The ballot
ing showed little change from that
which has prevailed during the long
deadlock until the last ballot, when
the republicans began changing their
votes to Mitchell, who had hitherto
not been considered in the contest.
A stampede ensued, and the final bal
lot resulted in Mitchell's election.
[Senator Mitchell, when he takes his seat
in the next congress, will begin his fourth
term in the upper branch. He was first
elected in 1873, serving until 1879. He re-
ceived the caucus nomination Of the repub-
lcan party in 1882, but was defeated III
joint session. He was rechosen in 1885 to
succeed James H. Slater, democrat. He
was reelected in 1891 and retired from the
senate at the expiration of that term in
1897. Mr.. Mitchell was born in Washington
county, Pennsylvania, June %, 1885,
ceived a public school education and the
instruction of a private tutor; studied and
practiced law first in San Louis Obispo
and then in San Francisco. He removed
to Portland in 1860.

George james and Four Daughters
Burned to Death Near
Versailles, Ind.

Versailles, Ind, Feb. 25.-The home
of George James, four miles from here,
burned Saturday morning, and James
and his four DAUGHTERS were burned to
death Mrs. James and another son
were absent from home.
The fire occurred at five o'clock.
Mr. James got up, built fire and went
back to bed. The stove tipped over and
set the carpet afire and in short time
the whole house was in flames. The
daughters who slept upstairs were
aroused and came downstairs, but in
stead of going out doors they rushed in
the room where their father was. A
son, - years old, who was sleeping
with his father, got up and escaped
through back door. He then went to
the room in which the fathr and girls
were and smashed the glass. He tried
to get them out, but they would not
move. He then went to the dinner bell
and rang it until he was compelled to
leave by the fire. The bell called the
neigh bors, but by the time they ar
rived the house had fallen in and the
inmates could not be rescued. The
mother of the family and one daugh-
ter were away on visit. The boy was
badly burned and his arm was severely
cut by the glass window. All of the
bodies were taken out Of the ruins.

f'Gen. De Wet was routed yesterday by

after unsuccesSfully attempting to cross
the Brak at Kip drift and the Orange at
Reads drift and Marks drift, moved along
