SAVED HIS FINGER.
The Faithful Brahman Felt, How
ever, That He Had Lost Caste.

The Faithful Brahman Felt. How
ever, That He Had Lost Caste.
One day a Brahman accidentally
touched some unclean object with his
little finger. The Brahman thought that
now, his little finger having become I'M
clean, any substance which 1t would
couch would be also rendered unclean
and thus make him an unclean man.
Seeing no other way to get out Of the
ecrape he resolved to get the offending
member amputated. Forthwith he went
to a carpenter and explained to him
(the Brahman) was unable to take food.
The carpenter tried to dissuade the
devotee and urged that an application
Of some drops Of water from the sa-
cred river Gunga would make. the I'm
ger once more holy, but the Brahman
persisted. He said that the finger was
of no use to him any longer and that
he would not rest until it was severed
As a final recourse the carpenter re-
solved to play his awkward customer a
trick. BE told the Brahman to put his
finger on an anvil and to look to the
sky while the wound was inflicted.
The Brahman did 80. The carpenter
took up a Ratchet and gave the finger
q smart blow with the back of it. This
elected a cry of pain from the pa
tent, who at once put the finger in his
mouth to allay the agony. The carpen-
ter, laughing, explained to the Brah-
man that the blow had missed and the
little finger was still entire; and, worst
Of all, the Brahman had deiled himself
by putting the finger into his mouth.
The obliging operator, moreover, offer
ed to perform the operation once more,
but the Brahman had had enough pain
for the nonce and declined with thanks.

Mr.. Rolker in McClure's robs us of
some misconceptions as to snakes.
When u snake is decapitated it is dead.
The tail will remain sensitive for some
hours without reference TO shutdown.
The rattlesnake doeS not suicide by bit
ing itself. No snake is susceptible to
the poison of its own kind. That the
black snake will swallow its young in
time of danger is true. and they are
then digested. making the mother a
cannibal of the worst sort.

Small, chalk white teeth are a sign Of
a weak constitution. Strong, normal
teeth are large and yellowish white.
Sometimes an enthusiastic novelist In

will give her two rows of pearls be-

matter Is nothing could be more ghast-

teeth made of pearls. 1t is only "store

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
NEW NATURALIZATION LAWS.
Governor Announces Provisions Against
Illegal immigrants.

For the information of all concern.
ed in Oregon Governor Chamberlain
has made public letter received by
him from the department of state at
Washington, d. c., calling attention
to the new provisions of the United
States naturalization laws. These
new provisions took effect July 3,
1903, and provide that, In order to be
valid, court record of naturaliza-
tion must show that the person nat
uralized is not opposed to all organ
lied government nor affiliated with
any organization so opposed; that he
does not advocate the unlawful as
saulting or killing of officers of the
government; that he has not violated
any of the provisions of the said act
to regulate the immigration of aliens
and that he has complied with the
terms of previous acts on the subject
of naturalization.
The new act also requires that
every certificate of naturalization
shall specifically recite that the pro-
visions of this and previous acts have
been complied with, and If it fails in
any particular it is null and void. The
act making the additional regulations
was approved on March 8.

FIRE FROM COVER.
Escaped Folsom Convicts Ambush and
Shoot Three Of Posse.

Placerville, Cal., Aug. 3.--A desper-
ate fight between a band OF five of the
escaped Folsom conyicts and party Of
six militiamen, who were following
fresh trail of the convicts, took place
this evening just at duEk ON a hillside
near the Grand Victory mine, and, as
result of the conflict, two OF the mi.
litiamen, named Rutherford and Jones,
were killed and third member Of the
posse, man named Dill, will prob
ably die of his wounds, as he was shot
through the lungs.
The convicts we're hidden in the
thick brush which covers the hill, and
the manhunters happened upon them
most unexpectedly. The convicts, who
we're we'll armed with rifles, fred = vol
ley into the posse, with the result
above stated.
The other members OF the posse
opened FIRE on the eonvicts, and the
survivors of the little band are firm In
shSit UCllol budl at icdHb TWO ulNHlD0fh
OF the convict gang were wounded.
The news of the conflict soon spread,
and messengers were dispatched to this
place for reinforcements.
A posse under the leadership OF
Sheriff Bosquit is now on the stene of
the conflict, but, as it is dark, it is i'm
possible to locate the convicts, who
have the advantage of position, and
could pick of the members Of the posse
il a concentrated attack was made upon
them. Sheriff Bosquit and his advis.
ers are considering the feasibility of
setting the brush on fire and forcing
the convicts to surrender or at least dis
close their exact position.
Sheriff Bosquit's posse now numbers
l50 men, but the situation is SO criti-
cal that no one will approach close
enough to the supposed hiding place of
the convicts to ascertain the exact con-
dition OF affairs. So far the bodies OF
Rutherford and Jones. who are men,
bers of Company II, Second infantry,
N. g. c., have not been recovered,
though it is positive that the men are
dead.

ToPEKANs GIVEN A SCARE.
Rain Descended in Such Volume That
Houses are Flooded.

Topkea, Kan, Aug. 5.-High water
caused much work and excitement in
North Topeka today. rain began fall
ing here shortly after midnight, and by
daylight the storm had reached the pro-
portions OF cloudburst. The North
Topeka sewers have not been reopened
since the June food, and all Of the
water ran through the low streets to
the river, covering the first floors in a
number OF houses along Gordon street,
and in the street was three feet deep.
Many OF the residents OF North Topeka
thought that another food was upon
them.
In South Topeka the water was near
ly as high as it was north OF the river.
The state insane asylum, west OF To-
peka, was cut off from the city for q
short time. The little creek that runs
through Auburndale, suburb, was
flooded to depth Of four or Eve feet.
The residents of that part of the city
procured boats and brought their neigh
bors to the high land.
The creek returned to its banks two
hours after the rain ceased falling.
The rain was general in the northern
and eastern part OF the state.

POPE is ELECTED
CARDINAL SART0 THE UNANIMOUS
CHOICE OF C0NCLAVE.
Has Taken the Title of Plcus Knew
Pontiff Is a Man Plain In His Habits
and Well Liked by All Who Know
him-WiIl Follow Lines of Pope Leo
Public Well Pleased.

Rome, Aug. 4.-Cardinal Sarto pat
riarch OF Venice, who was elected pope
to succeed Leo XIII, now reigns at the
vatican and over the Catholic world as
Plus X, Tonight all Rome is iIlumi-
mated in his honor.
His election and the assumption Of
his holy Office were marked by strik-
ing demonstration and impressive Cere-
monies at the vatican, which ended
only this evening. Tomorrow the new
pope, clad in his new pontifcal robes,
and with all the ritualistic ceremony,
will receive the members of the diplo-
matte corps, the cardinals and the bish-
ops, who will then offer their official
homage, this Notwithstanding the fact
that twice today the cardinal and many
high officials OF the vatican went
through similar ceremony.
The date on which the coronation of
Plus X will take place has not yet been
decided, but the impression prevails
that it will take place on August 8.
Although the election was over at IL
O'Clock this morning, and was an
nou0ced to the world 45 minutes later
by the appearance Of the new pope at
the window of st. Peters, the conclave
was not formally dissolved until $50
O'Clock this afternoon.
The eIetion OF the patriarch Of Ven
ico this morning was unanimous. AT.
tel Mondays ballots, it was a Ioregcne
conclsuion that he was the only candi-
date sufficiently acceptable to all to
secure the necessary two-thirds that
the laws OF the church require. One
OF the cardinals said to representative
OF the Associated Press tonight that he
believed Plus X would follow the
broad lines of Leo's policy, although

ENLARGE THE RESERVE.
More Land Withdrawn From Settlement
In Oregon City District.

Nine townships of land in Clacka-
mas, Marion and Linn counties have
been withdrawn from settlement upon
telegraphic orders from Acting Com
missioner of the Land Office Fimple.
The townships are from to 13 in
elusive in range east. Immediately
adjoining the Cascade forest reserve
on the east Each township contains
23,040 acres, and the whole number of
acres in the nine townships with
drawn is 2O7,36O. All of township II
and two-thirds of township 12 are un-
surveyed land. OF the whole area
withdrawn from settlement, 1890
1cres are vacant land, of which 49,
400 acres are unsurveyed.
The action of the general land office
is construed to mean that the interior
department is desirous of extending
the reserve.

besides catering to the interests tom-

Steamer Passengers Tell of Treatment
by Honolulu Customs Men.

San Francisco, Aug. A communi-
cation addressed to the Associated
Press and signed by 35 passengers wlo
arrived here from tho Orient on the
steamer Siberia protests strongly
against the action of the customs-house
officials who examined their baggage
at Honolulu. They lain to heve been
treated without common civility and to
have been subjected to much inconven.
len and bodily discomfort.
Coming from warm climate, most
of them we're lightly attired, but, des-
pite their vigorous protests, the er
heavy clothing was placed under Off
cial seals, not to be broken until San
Francisco was reached, The baggage
in the staterooms was closely inspected,
and all deemed unnecessary by the Off
GERS was bundled up, sealed and placed
in the hold with the. trunks and other
personal effects. This the passengers
designate as "an atrocious outrage"
and wish the matter called to the at
tention Of the secretary of the treasury.

Would Alarm America.

Victoria, B. c., Aug. 5.-W. G.
Deering, OF Chicago, who arrived from
the Orient by the steamer Tacoma, in
an interview, says that although the
people of the United States may not
be aware Of the fact, the insurgents in
the Philippine islands are organizing
and drilling, and the trouble there is
far from over. He says filibusiers are
continually landing arms on the island
coasts, and the patrol is looked upon as
a farce. Schooners laden with ecntra-
band goods have no difficulty in "run.
ming their caTgoes."

CHINESE ARE SULLEN.
dOod Feeling Toward Foreigners Broken
by Recent Execution.

Pekin, Aug. 5.--China is witnessing
return to the conditions which fol-
lowed the coup d'etat Of 1898. Politi-
cal discussiop among the Chinese
which increased during the imperial
court'srecent policy OF friendliness to-
ward foreigners has suddenly stopped.
The plan of the dowager empress to
trerify the reformers by the execution
Of Shen Chen, which occurred last Fri
day, has been unsuccessful. All the
liberal Chinese, particularly those who
have been associated with the reform.
ers, are in the greatest fear Of arrest
and it is difficult to find Chinaman
who is willing to mention politics or
Fridays tragedy, although the latter is
about the only topic Of conversation
among the trusted friends. The offic-
ials are particularly dumb.
The affair is a disappointment to
the foreigners, who had hoped that the
empress dowager's association with
the ladies of the legations would have
civilizing influence. Prince Su, the
most liberal Of the Manchu princes, is
reported to have risked his Office by
opposing the execution Of Shen Chen.
