People have called us a bad man, and yet in the last seven years we have never even hinted that our esteemed contemporary had a wooden leg and was cross-eyed and bald-headed. We think that shows praiseworthy consid- eration.
 A successful performance of the Two Orphans" was given at the Hellso Op- era house last Thursday evening. That is, one of the orphans turned out to be the others mother. and the boys shot out ten of the kerosene lights. As to the financial part, the company got out of town on a freight train. This town has taken a stand on trusts George Williams, the only barber in the place, raised his prices 90 per cent last Monday morning, and within two hours his shop was wreck. and he was walking in the direction oc Montana.
 The Lone Jack Recorder says that our lecture on the discovery of America is a flat failure. We beg to differ. We have delivered it in fourteen towns. and got out of each one alive. That is the true test of a lecture in this coun- try.
 Two quack doctors and three shyster lawyers pulled up stakes and left Give adam Gulch last week in search of pastures new. When the people of 2 town will neither quarrel nor fall sick somebody has got to go.
 The only thing happening last week to shock high society was the elOpe~ ment of Mrs. Davison with railroad man from Tucson, and the shock of | that didn't last over half an hour. Our people never let anything worry them very long before discovering that it was for the best.
 ! Four members of the vigilance com- mittee went looking for Joe Moss last Friday night but Joseph borrowed a horse and got out of town in time to spoil a good thing. MT. Moss has little ways that the town does not appreciate, and he will do well to hunt anotheI' residence.
 The mayor of Pine Hill was present. ed with a S25 gold watch the other day as a token of the esteem in which be is held by his fellow citizens. He was forced to turn around the same evening and pay $40 for drinks to show that he appreciated the sentiment. The boys try to work this little game on us now and then, but it doesn't go.
 Mr. James Green Poplar, who ar rived home last Wednesday after a visit of four weeks to St. Louis, brought the information that cold corned beef is no longer permissible at high teas. Sardines are the thing now and they must be eaten between two crackers. Our local 400 will please take notice.
 Mayor Jim White caught us on Apache avenue the other day without our guns and started in to make us eat dirt. but at his fifth shot our coat tails turned the corner and we were safe. We seldom stop to argue matters when we haven't backing.
 The number of men who want to wipe us off the face of the earth has increased to sixteen without any par ticular effort on our part, and from present appearances we judge that we shall have an early spring and lots of it. We are always on duty every hour of the tWenty-four.

GROWTH OF COFFEE HABIT.

The fall of the price of coffee in the New York market to the lowest point on record, due to a heavy Brazilian crop coming upon the heel of enormous importation last year. calls attention to the surprising growth of the coffee habit
 In 1902 for the first time in our his tory we imported more than billion pounds of coffee, at bulk cost of moro than $70,000,000 and a. probable retail price to customers of nearly three times that sum. This was a supply of nearly three times twenty pounds a. retail cost of about S4 for every per son in the United States above 10 years of age; it indicates a use which has quadrupled in one generation and is now almost universal.
 In the source of supply great changes have taken place. When 'kauphy" was first drunk in London it came undoubt- edly from Arabia, which remained the sole source of supply up to about 17oo A. D. Today our Java and Mocha mixed" probably never saw Java and most assuredly never saw Mocha. Bra gil alone gave us S5 per cent of our 19c2 supply. and Mexico, the West Indies and other Central and South American countries 13 per cent. The East Indies supply about l per cent and "other Asia and Oceanica," including Arabia, the home of the coffee cult, furnish only one pound in 256. The Greek monks on the Isthmus of Sinai them selves drink Brazilian coffee. so com plete is the American invasion of the worlds market of the fragrant brown berry.-New York World.

A Lone Mans Story.

II used to have a wife, said the Ar kansas squatter, with whom I sat on the doorstep smoking a pipe, but I've been lone man these five years. My old woman sat in this yere doorway one night and died without a groan."
 Was it case of heart disease?" l asked.
 No. it was a case of too much smart ness, I reckon. A critter came alOns we're one day when I was away from home and talked to her about gOurds. He said he'd found out that if yo' col ored the seeds the gourds would grow up the same color. As nobody had ever seen red blue and crimson gourds they'd sell like hot cakes and the seeds would go off at S1 a pint.
 She believed it all, and she pestered me till I made up my mind it was q good thing. l turned it over and over in my mind till I could see thousands of colored gourds dancin' befo' my eyes every time 1 looked out doahs.'
 And you got the seeds and colored them?" I asked.
 T did, sah I got two bushels e
 
 had in the stores around yere, and my back was nigh broken iXin' up five acres of ground. I had every color of the rainbow, and folks around yere got powerful excited about it. Feared like I could hear 50.000 voices cryin' out to me to keep on. and l jest did work about sixteen hours d day till all the plantin' was done
 And how did the Gourds come out?''
 Come out, sah-come out" shouted the old squatter. as he pounded on the l earth with his fist. "They didn't come out tall, sah. Not dratted seed of were killed dead when I colored 'em. The land jest came to weeds and this ties, and folks around yere are laughin' about me yit. Dawg gone it, even the niggers poked fun at me-" But about your wife," I queried. You said she sat on the doorstep and died.'
 "She did sah. She was sittin' we're and was out by that bush jumpin' on my hat and yellin' to be heard a mil, away, when the angel of death stepped in and bore her hence. When l couldn't Cuss nor jump no mo. I aXed her tc pass out my pipe and she was dead. ain't sayin' it was heart disease, and what I'm sayin' is that the critter whc comes along we're and talks to me o red and blue gcurds alnt 5oin' to have time huff to repeat half the Lord prayer"

BLOOD HUMOURS Skin HumOurs, Scalp HumourS,
 Hair Kunours, Whether Simple ScrofuIous or
 Hereditary Speedily Cured by Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills,
When All Other Remedies and
 Best Physicians Fail.
COMPLETE TREATMENT, Sl.OO.

In the treatment of torturing, disfig- uring, itching, scaly, crusted, pimply, blotchy and scrofulous humours of the skin, scalp and blood, with loss of hair, Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills have been wonderfully successful. Even the most obstinate of constitutional hu- mours, such as bad blood, scrofula, in- herited and contagious humours, with loss of hair, glandular swellings, ulcer ous patches in the throat and mouth, sore eyes, copper-colored blotches, as we'll as boils, carbuncles, scurvy, sites, ulcers and sores arising from an i'm pure or impoverished condition of the blood. yield to the Cuticura Treatment, when all other remedies and methods fail.
 And greater still, if possible, is the wonderful record of cures of torturing, disfiguring humours among infants and children. The suffering which Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment have alleviated among the young, and the comfort they have afforded worn-out and wor- ried parents, have led to their adoption in countless homes as priceless cura- tives for the skin and blood. Infantile and birth humours, milk crust, scall head, eczema, rashes and every form of itching, scaly, pimply skin and scalp humOurs, with loss of hair. of infancy and childhood, are speedily, perma- nently and economically cured when all other remedies suitable for children. and even the best physicians, fail.

Civic Federation Form Nut.
ual Admiration Society

Chicago. Oct. 17-Hanna, presid
ing over the Civic Federation today,
appealed to every thinking man to de-
vote his best efforts to bring peace to
the industrial conditions. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the Civic
Federation would eventually solve all
fusions. He said our very existence
our continued prosperity depends on
the success Of this movement. Thirty
years ago as a coal operator, par.
ticipated in a strike, and l made up
my mind there was a better way to
solve the differences, than to strike.
II is the golden rule. Denunciation of
labor leaders from political platforms
is unfair; they are human, and make
mistakes, so do the employers. John
Wilson, in a speech, said the laboring
men had been compelled TO strike, be.
cause they never expected anything
until they showed force. Marks, pres.
ident Of the National Clothing Manu-.
facturers, made plea for the enforce.
ment of child labor laws, the regula.
tion of the apprentice system. and a
fair adjustment of the high minimum
wage question.

Southern PaeIflc Improvements.

Section Foreman Dillon and his
crew Of Japanese are engaged in re-
newing the ties on the Southern Pa.
cifc track north of the water tank.
near the Salem wooden mill. The ties
placed there in 1896 are pretty well
worn out. the rails having cut deep
into them. Plans have been perfected
by the company to prevent the rails
from sinking into the ties in future,
and tie-plates will be placed under the
rails These plates are OF iron, about
10 inches long and inches in width,
placed under the rail lengthwise of
the tie. They are provided with
three hanges on the lower side, cut,
ting into the tie, and the spikes are
driven through holes fitted at the
edge Of the rail. IL is claimed that
these plates win increase the life of
the tie materially, and prevent a
spreading of the rails, in that two
spikes hold the rail from slipping by
this means, where one had to bear
the strain under the old arrangement
An extra crew OF men will go over the
road and 1T the tie-plates, beginning
work in a short time. There are three
carloads of tie-plates at Salem now
TO be used on the roadbed in this sec.
tiOn.
The Southern Pacific Company Is
relaying the switches in the Candy
gravel pit, and il is expected that
hauling gravel from this pit to cover
the roadbed. and for other purposes,
will be resumed at an early date.

The Postal Scandals.

By the report of Fourth Assistant Post
master General Bristow, one is carried back
TO the days of the Credit Moblier, the Wits
key and Star Route Frauds, &C., under the
administrations of President Grant. Bristow's
report shows mass of political thievery and
&. looting of the national treasury that stands
almost without parallel in the history of the
country 1t SURPRISES the former rascality,
because its qualifications went through nearly
every branch of the postal service. Corrupt
permission for lotteries and fraudulent schemes
to us. the mails, the selling ct positions in the
Department. the leasing of pos!nfice buildings,
the painting of letter boxes, the purchase of
worthless machinery at exrravagant prices,
the awarding of contracts to favored bidders
nil theSe things entered in the postofice world
of graft"
The game was played from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. The extent of the corruption
may be gathered from the statement made 10y
Mr.. Brisow that the brides and rake offs"
which went to the pockets of postofiice officials
alone were between 100000 and 100000.
Mr.. Bristow does not attempt to estimate the
amount of money lost by the government. 1t
is certainly many times the amount OF graft
thai the indicted officials obtained. 1t proba-
bly, reaches in the millions.
