Pets Tint Cannot Will.

In oriental countries it is customary
TO have valuable fish as household
pets, in the same way as we have
cats and dogs. and in almost every
house in Japan one can find jars con
tanning some fine specimens. japanese
mobiles have large acquaria, In which
are TO be found species Of odd and
curious fish that have been bred and
cultivated for the last 500 years and
more. In China the paradise fish is q
good example of the result OF careful
cultivation, for It is nowhere found in
wild state and is remarkable for its
colors, which surpass in beauty those
Of any other fish extant. Another
household pet is the Chinese comet
goldfish, which is equipped with i'm.
mense caudal fins that spread out like
sails when the creature is swimming.

Lincoln. Neb. Sept. 22.-Fusion be-
tween the democrats and populists OF
Nebraska was effected by the nomi-
nation by both state conventions of an
identical ticket as follows:
Justice of the supreme court, VIII
liam c. Hastings of Wilbur; regents
of the university. ID. c. Cole. of Osce-
ola: Louis Lightner, of Columbus.
There was no formal declaration
for fusion by either convention, but
an understanding existed among the
leaders of both.
OF the nominees, Messrs. Hastings
and Lightner are democrats and Mr.
Cole Il populist.
The feature of the democratic
gathering was the speech of william
j. Bryan in which he bid his party
associates in the state farewell for a
year at least on the eve of his depart
ure for an extended tour of the
world. Mr.. Bryan commended Pres
ident Roosevelt for what he declared
to be his advanced stand on the prin-
ciples long advocated by the demo-
Gratis. On these principles he hoped
every democrat would uphold the
president.
A resolution which caused a stir in
the convention and which was
promptly adopted, denounced the
Rockefeller gift to the University of
Nebraska, criticized the regents for
accepting 1t and demanding the re-
turn OF the gift to the donor.

THREE MURDER CASES.
Are on the Docket for One Term of
Court i'm WaScO.

The Dalles. Sept. 22.-Charles Un-
derwood has been held to the circuit
court to answer to the charge of kill
ing Richard b. Darnell at Dufur
Springs, on the Deschutes river, 40
miles south of The Dalles, on the
morning of September IL. From the
evidence given at the preliminary
hearing it appeared that Underwood
borrowed a rifle. which he carried
with him to his work the morning OF
the killing; that when Darnell APP
peared i'm sight of Underwood the lat
ter from behind a stone wall opened
fire on him. first killing his horse,
then firing on Darnell. hitting him
twice. once evidently after he was
mortally wounded.
The defense claims that it will be
able to prove that the killing was in
self-defense claiming that Danell
was the aEgressor. and that he fired
five or six shots at Underwood, though
no such evidence was produced at the
examination.
The holding of Underwood to ap-
pear before the circuit court makes
three murder cases to be tried at the
coming term of court for Wasco coun-
ty. The trial Refs for the killing of
old man Foss in Hood River valley.
is set for the November term of court.
Mary Aleck, an Indian, is booked for
trial at the same term on the charge
of killing Indian Molly.
