ATHENA, FEBRUARY IA, 1905
Weston has purchased rock crushel

Weston has purchased a rock crusher
at cost of $1225, and soon the good
work of making better streets will com
mence. Weston property owners will
find every dollar expended in street con-
struction in time rolling back to them,
as the result of increased property val
uation, that is sure to accrue from in
vestments made in good, substantial
thoroughfares. This is the result Of
street improvement in Athena, and if the
citizens and property owners Of Weston
will eliminate any possibility Of Wood
grating the pay roll, we believe the
same conditions will obtain there. Let
him monkey with the wheels and play
with the safety valve on the boiler az
much as he likes, (of course keeping the
workmen at safe distance) but don't
let him have any part or parcel in the
management of the business end of the
works. II you do you are losers. In
the former instance, il providence is
with you, you are .sure to quit winners
even though new boiler should cost
$3.50. True, you should take into con-
sideration the value Of the rock crusher,
and not take chances by allowing him to
approach it too closely, for he is an i'm
aginative cuss and as full of insane
theories as coyote is full of ticks, on
the subject of machinery. His recent
sad and unaccountable lapse in express
ing desire to thrust certain eminent
parsonage through the machine, only
adds but another link in the chain Of
evidence that he is hopelessly and de-
structively "batty" on the subject.
Should he express the desire to manip-
ulate the motive power Of the crusher,
let him do so but chain ii to water hy-
drant for he is liable to satisfy his per-
verted tendencies by taking it into his
printshop and endeavoring to convert it
into typesetting machine.

According to the last issue Of the
American Wool and Cotton Reporter
the wool market shows some weakness
when compared with conditions that
have prevailed during the past few
months. This is caused in the main by
a falling off in price as the London auc-
tions progressed combined with the con
tinued quietness of the demand for wool
generally. The paper says: "While,
statistically speaking, the situation is
a strong one, consumers of wool are not
buying literally and indications are that
they will pursue a conservative course
for some time to come"

The Oregon Scout, published at
Union, pertinently remarks:
Union county has not a great num-
ber of sheepholders, but what we have
are reasonably good business men and
will be able to care for themselves under
the provisions of the Steiner bill. The
bill provides that stock, when killed in
malicious manner, the owner may col,
lect so per cent Of the value off of the
county or municipality. II the sheep
man is unusually careful he can collect
for all of his ANIMALS not accounted for
by the herder, even to and including
the number killed for home consump-
tion. Or, il few should be sold to the
butchers, they can be paid for at the
usual rate by the county wherein the
sheep are pastured, Then it is even
better; if a band is on the way from
Wasco to Grant county the marauders
from Grant can meet the herder on the
neutral fields OF Crook county, slay the
sheep and then Crook can foot the bill.

100000 as Damages.

Pittsburg. May 9.-Down for trial in
the United States Circuit Court here to-
day is a breach of promise case which
promises sensational developments. Miss
Edith Isabella Gibney, of st. Louis,
has sued the family of Klaus ]. Steiner.
very wealthy young architect, for
$685. damages, alleging they con-
spired to tell untruths about her to her
fiance, and so broke of the match. This
suit is expected to be especially senss-
tional, as Miss Gibney says she can show
that she was engaged to marry Steiner,
and that she came to his fathers home
for visit at the request of his family.
She remained there for some time, she
alleges, and that after her return to st.
Louis, Steiner's father and mother, as
well as sisters, told stories about her
which we're untrue. The Steiners are
among the exclusive social and ex-
tremely wealthy families of Allegheny.
Miss Gibney arrived here this morning
with her sister. Margaret.

cation recently made by Mrs. Maybricks
attorneys, Messrs. Hayden and Yarrell,

Death OF a Painter.

Flavius J. Fisher, one of the hest
known portrait painters in the United
States, died at 1880 O'Clock last night at
his home, 1923 Brown street, Mount
Pleasant, near Washington. He leaves
q widow and one son, Joseph Albert.
Mr.. Fisher was born seventy-three
years ago at Wythevile. southwest Vir-
GINA. At an early age he displayed
talent for painting, and at twelve he
was placed in a studio at Philadelphia,
where he remained for about five years.
He then went went abroad and CONF
pleted his studies under the masters in
Germany and Paris. He was the first
American artist to be admitted to the
German Art Institute at Berlin.
For the past twenly.three years Dir.
Fisher conducted his studio in the Cor
coran Building in Washington, where he
painted the portraits of many distin-
gushed men, including among the list
the late Postmaster General William l..
Wilson, ex-Secretary Hoke Smith, Car
dinal Gibbons, and the late Albert Pike.
During the recent illness of twelve weeks,
which ended in Mr.. Fishers death, he
completed the portrait of Samuel Miller,
a philanthropist of Virginia. This was
a remarkable achievement, as Mr.. Miller
had been dead for seven years, and the
portrait was painted from memory. Mr..
Fisher made several sketches which
were submitted to friends of the de-
ceased phIlanthropist, who pronounced
them excellent likenesses. The picture
was painted for the Female Orphan
Asylum, of Lynchurg, Va. Friends of
the late Mr.. Miller said the portrait was
lifelike.
The deceased artist had such keen
memory that he ueyer required more
than two sittings from his subject.

SENATOR MARTIN AT CAMP
BELL.

The Lynchburg correspondent OF the
Richmond Times Dispatch whites: The
announcement Of a meeting in behalf OF
education, together vita the advertise
ment of political speaking by U. 5 Sen
ator Martin, and Lieut.. Gov. Willard,
attracted one of the largest crowds yes
terday that ever assembled on the court
green of Campbell county. The crowd
was not only large numerically, but was
representative in character.
The educational rally was given the
right of way.
At o'clock the court room was again
crowded for the political speaking.
State Senator Thomas, in happy vein,
introduced Mr. Martin, and was roandly
applauded when he impressively stated
that he had been won to the support OF
the junior senator's candidacy fpr re-
election by studying the latter's public
record and by scrutinizing his declara-
ton of his future course in the event OF
his reelection.
Mr.. Thomas particularly commended
Senator Martin for his avowed attitude
on the question of empowering the Inter
state Commerce Commission to make and
regulate railway rates.
Senator Martin received gracious,
but not enthusiastic reception. He was
critically eyed by his audience, which
was obviously unwilling to commit it.
self until it had heard the candidate and
taken his full measure. The audience
was calmly expectant. The democrats
of Campbell heretofore have not been
particularly cordial to Mr.. Martin
therefore, he was strictly on trial, facing
an audience that must be won or lost.
Tonight scarcely a person can be
found who will not say Mr.. Martin met
the issue in surprisingly clever way.
With the utmost frankness speaking
plainly with astonishing facility, he ad-
dressed himself to the issues involved
in his campaign for reelection and
quickly won the sympathy and fire.
quently the loud and long continuous

reviewed his record in the Senate and,
item by item, cited and answered the
criticisms directed against him. That
his vindication of his own record and
reputation of these adverse criticisms
were satisfactory, to his auditors at least,
was attested by the repeated Outbursts Of
applaus and the enthusiastic greeting
which Mr.. Martin received at the con
clusion of his address.
Senator Martins speech made a deep
impression. 1t also made him many
woes. II turned the cold, critical atti-
tude of the people who were in Lynch
burg yesterday to one Of evident iriendli-
ness and responsiveness. This is not
merely the opinion Of your correspondent;
it is a statement of facts, abundantly
verified BY methodical inquiry and OBJ
servation. Sunday, Campbell county
seemed to Senator Martins friends an
uninviting point of attack. Yesterday
it seemed to these same friends hope
ful field to win in the democratic pri-
mary.

Anti.semitic Outbreaks.

St. Petersburg, May S.--Reports re-
ceiyed from Jimotir, the capital of the
province of Volhynia, say that many
people were killed and wounded on both
sides in the anti-semitic outbreak which
occurred there Yesterday. Details of the
fighting are meagre and it is feared that
when complete reports are received they
may show that the outbreak was another
Kishineff massacre. The rioting lasted
all day, Christians being the offenders.
They attacked the Jews bitterly, kill
ing many and wounding others. The
Jews showed the greatest courage in de-
Tending themselves and inflicted con-
siderable damage on their prosecutors.
The number of the casualties is placed
at twelve.
Rioting has proceeded for several days
and the worst is feared for today. 1t is
reported that the disturbances have
spread to Tamboff and DISTINCT, where
il is feared there will be blOodshed. Ia
the fighting that occurred both Chris
tians and the Jews have been armed.
The fiercest kind of fighting has occur
red. The authorities have tried to put
an end to the struggle by the adoption OF
oppressive measures, but their efforts
have been unsuc cessful.

Strike in Italy.

Rome, May 9.-The strike among the
shepherds on the Roman campagna which
has been in progress, has come to an end
through the surrender of the employers.
BY the victory Of the shepherds an cpl
demic OF strikes among the down trodden
workers of the whole district, however,
is threatened. The shepherds rebelled
against their small pay of five cents a
day and the miserable rations of bread,
oil, salt and cheese, which we're furnish
ed them, and struck. The peasants up
held the strikers and refused to take the
places of the strikers. The owners of
the herds were compelled to yield to the
strikers lest the unmilked animals should
die in hundreds. The strikers gained
almost double pay and an increase in
their supplies of food. Workers in all
lines in Rome who are badly under
paid, and live under distressing circum.
stances, when they heard of the news of
the triumph of the shepherds at once be-
gan to talk of striking to better their own
condition, and it is feared other strikes
will follow.

animation showed that he had alighted

distance from the porch roof to the
