fine raiment, had she come into an

man slipped out just in time to save
the dear girl much future misery.
And now she Is wearing the robes
which were 10 have decked the bride.
She is TO be congratulated. She will
have but brief period to mourn.
The other way 1t might, aud probably

Z - = "i' Cincinnati CONNER
An''nins' cial Tribune gives
the following pertinent instance: At
one time was treasurer Of the church
trustees, and had the temporal affairs
In my hands. During my incumbency
dealt with minister who never asked
for money, who never for eight years
ever asked me thing about the money
affairs. At one time | spoke to him
about II, and he told me an experience
something out Of the ordinary. "In
my early days" he said, II was sta
toned at small church near Zanes-
vile. The salary was meager, but, as
there were but two, II was sufficient,
At the end OF the year, however, my
wife and myself found, after taking an
account Of stock, that we were in debt
to several Of the little stores In sums
that aggregated say $50. To both Of
us at the same time there came the
injunction; Owe no man anything
There, almost on bended knees, We
resolved TO pay that debt forthwith at
any sacrifice. and never again while
we lived to charge even penny nor
to contract debt OF any FORM The
saintod man went on; "We were re-
ceiying about S35 month. We had
plenty Of meal, little smoked meat
and enough potatoes to last US. On
those, with milk from neighbor's cow
and few donations, we lived through
January and February In perfect hap
piness. BY the first Of March every
cent Of the debt was paid, and that
ended 1t, From that day to this we
have never gone into debt for any
thing, and, In addition, we have made
It rule 70 save something every year"
l need not say that this twain never
needed to ask aid from the sustentation
fund OF the church In their last years.
They had enough and to spare, and
when the husband went to his rest his
end was serene. He had no anIieties
about the loving wife left behind. Per.

connection that, though childiess,

churchly days reared several children
whom they had adopted. They turned
out well.

1t has lately been discovered that
the famous peroxide solution will
whitsn teeth. The discovery is. indeed.
one Of great value in dentistry. The
nerves Of teeth havs frequently TO be
killed and the teeth then often turn
black. II they are IN the front OF the
mouth they make considerable dis
hgurement, and in the past this could
only be corrected by capping them
with porcelain or with gold. But now,
according 20 the Philadelphia Record,
they may be bleached to the whiteness
Of snow. Little holes are bored in
them and the bleaching solution is In
jected. a small quantity ata time. The
first appacation makes the black
tooth's edges pale. The second spreads
the pallor, and the fourth or fifth COM
pletsS the operation.

From tho State Press.

Last Saturday some thirty people
arrived at The Dalles from Spokane aud
left by wagon for Crook county to locate
timber land. Their destination was
upper Deschutes. 1t is said that nearly
200 timber locations have already been
made in that section.
Another large vessel, the Polaris,
built for foreign trade, was successfully
launched from the Marshheld ship-yard
Saturday afternoon. The Polaris will be
rigged as a four.mssted schooner, and
has a carrying capacity OF over 1000, 900
feet Of lumber. May Preuss christened
the new vessel in the customary
manner.
The rush for timber land is now on IN
the vicinity Of Port Oriord, and about all
the available timber land on Elk river
is being located. II is not being taken
by nonresident speculators, but by per
manent citizens Of the county, who
begin to realize that all timber lands Of
the coast are rapidly increasing in value.
The great obstacle in the way Of most of
these locations, however, Ia that the
lands are either unsuryeyed or the
surveys have not bee approved.
Marie Mcpherson a 0 year OLD girl,
was run over by an electric car in
Albina, one OF Portland's suburbs, Satur-

and directly into an approaching electric
car, the rear trucks OF which ran over
her body. She died from the injuries
in very short time.

An electric bicycle car crashed into
the Southern Pacific mail car at Port
land Saturday morning, doing slight
damage but iniuring no one. Wet raj
and steep grade together with the fact
that the motoTman did not apply the
brake soon enough, were responsible iol
the accident. A gas tank In the mai
car was exploded by the shock and
caused little excitement. A chemicA
engine was called and ayertsd I

OREGON as o Wool State.

In the Government report OF the WOO
clip of 1901 we find Oregon in the second
class Of states producing the heaviest
average Of feeces. In the first class
there are only four states-New Hamp'
shire, Vermont, California and Texas.
In these states the average weight Of
ileeces was eight pounds or over. In the
second class are ten states, viz: Massa-
chusetts, Iowa, Kaneas, Montana,
Wyoming, Arizona. Nevada, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon, the average
being seven pounds. The statistics
given show that the East no longer
holds the great sheep states, New York
falling into the thhd class in the above
rating, and Ohio and Pennsylvania into
the fourth. OF tho dozen leading states
according to averages, the East holds
but three. .-Ex.

According 20 the Boston Trnn-
script there are now Is independent
colored churches in Boston, where 30
years ago II was difficult to support
one. The colored people are not
crowded out of the white churches,
although very few attend them now,
but they prefer 10 worship by them
selves. One reason for this Is that
education has fitted more colored
people to be leaders OF their own
people, and pastors Of their own
churches.

Owing to the drop in the price of copper the Copper Queen company has discontinued all unnecessary development work at present and in consequence one hundred men now on the pay roll will find them selves out of employment after Jan. 1. In addition to the discon- tinuance of all development work one furnace and one converter have been closed down and a few men dropped from the pay roll in that department. Supt. Douglas stated that the curtailment of expenses was due directly to the slump in the copper market and that he was of the opinion that the price of copper would go still lower, and in that event a further reduction in the working force would be the re- suit. The laying off of a hundred men in Bisbee is a small matter, but represents about S10,OOO a month in wages that will not find its way into circulation, and the probability of a further draft has tendency to unsettle the usual smooth business conditions that prevail here.-Review.

Mrs. F.. B. Gage, of Prescott, wife of President E. E. Gage of the Congress Gold company and one of the foremost business men of the coast, died in San Francisco at 3:25 Monday afternoon. Death followed surgical operation. MT. and Mrs. Gage came to San Francisco about three weeks ago in order that Mrs. Gage might receive treatment for an ailment from which she had been suffering for some time. Mrs. Gage had lived in the territory for many years. She was a native of Maine and went to Tombstone about twenty years ago, where she met MT. Gage, and where they were afterward married. She was a most devoted help-meet for a man who was engaged in the gigantic enterprises with which MT. Gage has been identified in Arizona for nearly a quarter of q century. Her influence was always for good, for the elevation of those around her. In the palmy days of Tombstone she made the magnificent library of that place possible and she later became a moving spirit in the project which secured to Prescott
 
 its fine library. Wherever Mrs. Gage lived she became the center of the social circle. It is doubtful if the death of another woman in Arizona would have affected so wide a circle of friends-Repub- ican.
