BAKER city Sheriff Not the Only Of
fetal Short.
Baker City. Ore. Jan. 16.-Charles W.
Whitney. ex-deputy sheriff. who served
as tax collector under Sheriff A. H.
Huntington, was arrested today on a
complaint charging him with the lar
ceny OF $1,000 He waived an exami-
nation before Justice Messick, who
fixed his bond at $500. Up to a Ia te
hour this evening Dir. Whitney had not
secured bOndsmen and was still in the
custody of Sheriff Brown. This arrest
grows out of the alleged defalcation
of Sheriff Huntington. who was taken
In charge soon after his return from
the east, about the LIST Of January. and
released on a $1,000 bond. The fact
that Huntington was placed under ar
rest has just come to light, as the coun-
~ officials in charge of the case have
declined until today to give any posi-
tive information in regard to the status
of the affair
The arrest of Whitney puts new
phase on the case aud it now appears
that there viii be some very interest
ing developments within the next few
days.

The Senate has ratified the
Alaskan treaty as the result Of a
clever ruse. The report was spread
that the Colombian treaty would be
taken up next aud i, was known that
Senator Morgan desired to debate
that convention at length This
threw the opponents Of The Alaskan
convention off their guard and late
yesterday afternoon, when most Of
those opponents had left the Senate,
the Alaskan treaty was rushed
through. An attempt was made to
rush through the reciprocity treaty
with Greece IN the same way but
was defeated by an objection from
Senator Hoar. To-day the Senste

BRYAN WILL NOT Be A

New York, Feb. lathe Even.
ing Telegram this afternoon prints
an interview with William ]. Bryan,
in which Mr.. Bryan said he would
not be a candidate for the Demo-
cratic Presidential nomination next
year.
al have said on many occasions
that / am not, and will not be again
candidate for re nomination, ("
said Mr.. Bryan, land you cannot
make that statement too emphatic.

this now for the benfit of my friends

"That being the case he was ask
ed, what in your opinion, ought to

paign, on the Democratic side"
Events make issues" answered
the former candidate, "but the
trust question and the question of
imperialism are just now necessary
issues. The tariff question and
the money question are also very
necessary issues, and there are many
others. But those / have mention
ed are now actively before the
country and before Congress"
AS to probable candidates, Mr..
Bryan said he preferred not to dis
cuss the subject.
"What do you think of Judge
Parker, of the Court of Appeals,

NE PLUS ULTRA

The prosperity and Education
Edition" of The New Dominion Of
Morgantown is the finest thing of
that kind that has been received at
this office since Cain and Abel had
the measles. 1t was compiled and
edited by Justin M. Kunkle the
editor OF the Daily Dominion and
the printing and lithographing was
done by the Wheeling News. The
waole work is of the very highest
grade Of excellence and something
for Morgantown to be proud Of.
The illustrations are fine and show
up like photographs. The paper is
of heavy enameled book stock and
the typographical appearance and
arrangement is well executed. The
Illustrations are plentiful and make
the book "a thing of beauty and a
JOY forever" to those who are
strictly in it," and bitter dis
appointment to those who did not
know good thing till they saw il.
The book IS in magazine form and
about the size OF the Ladies Home
Journal, with over fifty pages and
nearly 100 illustrations Of the pro
minent citizens, public building
business enterprises, handsome
homes, scenes along the NJ. & K.
etc. The edition is calculated to
do Morgantown an untold amount
OF good and the Dominion is deserv
ing Of the greatest credit for such
superior enterprise, but not too
much credit, as it will require con-
Siderable cash to cover this kind Of
an out lay Of brains, money and
energy

action was taken at recent meet
ing held at the home of Rev. George

banqueted and adopted the follow
ing resolution:
Whereas, The need of a good
husband has long been felt as a
pressing necessity, and repeated
efforts have been made TO induced
the Legislature of Pennsylvania to
enact law that would compel all
bachelors throughout the Common
wealth TO marry; and
Whereas, The State of Pennsyl-
vania thus far failed to pass any leg
islation looking toward the accom-
plishment of our much desired end;
and
Whereas, The early enactment of
some legislation that may result in
the establishment Of a good home
for each and every member of this
society may be the means of length
ening our lives; therefore, be it
Resolved, BY the"Old Maids
Society" of Gardeners station, that
we do hereby most earnestly request
our Representatives Of Adams county
to use their best efforts and cas-;
their votes for the enactment of a
law that will compel all bachelors
to marry. All men between the

THE EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION
VIII Please Take Notice and Salt this
Down

1t seems utterly impossible to &c,
the Secretary OF our State Editorial
Association to get the Minutes out
in anything like a reasonable time
Last year they were not printed and
sent out till almost time for another
meeting, although the President OF
the Association tried hard time and
again to get the Secretary to do il,
but the latter would neither print
the proceedings or allow anyon
else to do it. AS ne had possession
of the records the matter was en-.
tirely in his hands, and his negli-
gence seriously handicapped the
other officers in the discharge OF
the duties of their Office. The Presi-
dent of the Association referred to
the matter in plain terms in his re-
port to the Association at Wheel
ing, and criticised the Secretary Sc
verely for it personally and pub
licly, and in spite OF this, the Sec
rotary was reelected, and il is the
same old thing over again. No Min.
utes and no records of the session
to refer to. A Legislative Commit
tee was appointed and certain ac-
ton ordered taken, but in the alb
sence of anything to go by, it is no,
known who this committee is or
what was ordered to be done. Then
again, it is time to send IN list OF
the delegates from this State to the
National Association meeting. OF
course no one tries to remember
these these things, but expects to
get it all from the printed proceed
ings, which should be out in thirty
days after the session. AS there is
good pay for the job and money in
the Treasury to pay it soon as the
work is done, the conduct of the
Secretary is entirely inexcusable
and rather strange, to say the least.
II the Secretary cannot do the job
in his Office, or does not want to do
1t, there are plenty of others ready
and willing to do it in short order.
1t can be done at the Treasurer's
Office or the Office of the President
or Vice President in less than thirty
days easily, and as it has now been
about eight months since the last
session and time to begin to get
ready for the next, we want those
Minutes, or to know the reason why.
We also make this explanation so
that the Association will understand
why nothing much sis doing"

authority for the statement that at
