COLD FLOODED PRoCEEDING.-Where
can any pride exist in acquiring a
foreign title by marriage when it is
plainly shown that it has been pur.
chased with all the haggling and trick
cry of bargain.counter sales? II was
but short time ago that Mrs. Will
liam Thaw had to pay the bonus of q
cool million, at the steps of the altar,
on demand of the Earl OF Yarmouth,
to induce him to take part in the cere.
mony, or have the wedding with her
daughter called of. Now a family
with the patrician name of Magee,
have bought title from an Austrian
Baron, with the daughter thrown in
as an essential means OF attestation OF
title. He first demanded $250,OOO,
which was refused, and the Magee
family, being experienced financiers,
finally got the price down to 100000
G. o. d. The Baron declined to leave
Rome for Pittsburg, the home OF his
fancs, unless the stipulation that the
money should be paid him on his ar.
rival there was fully understood and
agreed to. This assurance was given
and the girls mother, who arranged
the details is pleased; how the matter
will turn out with regard to the girls
happiness, remains to be seen.

Floods in This State and Oregon


Walla Walla city is experiencing
the heaviest flood ever known, from
Mill creek, which in summer time is a
strcamlet of few feet in width. The
overflow is rushing in torrents through
some of the streets, one OF the main
bridges has been swept away, base
ments are flooded, one house has been
wrecked, the gas and electric light
plants rendered useless, and foot-hill
farms in that district are suffering
from wash-sway of the soil. That cat
tie have been drowned, is shown by
floating of their bodies, in the flood,
and it is feared that even human life
has been sacrificed, as the nature OF
the foatage indicates that probably
houses have been swept away.
The floods are likewise unprecedent-
at Pendleton, Oregon, from overflow of
the Umatilla, and one.third Of the PEG.
pie OF that city are living In the up
per stories of their buildings, or are
quite homeless. Other conditions are
practically the same. One human
corpse was discovered in the angry
rushing waters, but it could not be
recovered, and its identity is unknown
At Milton, the Little Walla Walla
river overflow covers an area over a
mile wide. The many fine fruit
ranches lying in its course, are entirely
ruined, and 500 people are temporarily
homeless, seeking refuge in the hills
AT Athena, Oregon, it rained fifty
hours and much property of all kinds
is damaged or ruined.
The Oregoniam expresses the belief
that the losses on the Umatilla may
reach a million dollars.

A Singular Infatuation.

One Of those unfortunate affairs that
are constantly happening and prob
ably owe their origin tn psychological
influences, is afforded by the condition
OF Miss Harriet II eckart, - years OF
age, a daughter of Mrs. Adolph Speck-
art, whose family is largely interested
in valuable prop, rty, much OF it in
Thurstun county.
The trouble is caused by the singu-
lar infatuation Of the daughter for one
of her own sex, DIR. Marie Equi, and she
wants to transfer to her n large sum
OF money from her share OF the estate.
This is, of course, opposed by the
mother and other relatives, but as she
is of age it is difficult to devise plan
for the safety of her property. AS a
preliminary step, Mrs. Speckart has
applied for administration Of her de-
ceased husbands estate. She is a
sister of Mrs. Leopold Schmidt, and
she asks for Mr.. Schmidt's appoint
ment as administrator.
While that gentleman deplores the
publicity that a purely family matter
has attained, he gave out to the Ore
goniam reporter, Monday evening, a
statement in which he declares those
who are responsible for the trouble, are
At best, fortune hunters and that some
of them might properly be classed as
criminals.
Property that is valuable to the
family now" said Mr.. Schmidt, twas
acquired by email beginnings, the &C.
emulation of little savings and the
strictest economy on the part of the
old people, but the mother would
gladly exchange it all if she could be
rid OF the sorrow that has been brought
upon her by extravaganza of those
who would squander it and from the
interference OF fortune hunters and
those who are almost members Of the
criminal class and who would pay no
attention to this family, or any mem.
Der Of it, if they were poor"
Mr.. Schmidt denies that it is the
present purpose to attempt to have a
guardian appointed for Miss Speckart.
On the contrary, he intimates that
the direct result of the present pro-
ceedings may be the division of the
property, in which event the daughter
would come into her share as soon as
the court proceedings could be car.
ried through.
The petition filed, is a formal docu-
ment, setting forth that the estate
had never been administered upon
and asking that Leopold Schmidt be
named as administrator. 1t WAS he
who made the original investments
which have turned out so we'll. He
says, the son having recently come OF
age, the property can now be divided.

The Corn Juice State Makes n Test

1t seems specially appropriate that
kentucky should lead in solving the
liquor troubles and that Louisville
should adopt, a che did last Sunday,
the most stringest measures to close
all forms OF business-except that OF
hotels, drug stores and railroads. Even
the ball game between the Louis
Vile and Toledo clubs was suppressed
after the first inning, all the players
being arrested. The only forms OF
amusement tolerated in the parks were
sacred concerts. \ park conducted ly

the Sabbath, was the one place in the
county "open." Those who bad been
prescribed took the matter good-na-
turedly, however; and scores OF pumps
on street corners had their handles re-
moved and signs substituted reading
Closed; It's Sinful to Drink on Sun
day"
The restriction was purposely made
stringent as possible for test Of the
legality OF the law. Four saloons were
designated by the Retail Liquor Deal
ers' Association to make the test. and
their owners we're arrested and their
places kept closed the remainder of
the day. This, is announced, will be
the condition of matters until the

INFAMOUS CRIME NEAR RENToN.-
Elsie Milkhoff, a 12-year-old daughter
Of a Renton miner, was assaulted and
afterwards killed, to hide the crime,
Wednesday afternoon, at Renton. Sus-
picion points strongly to Tom Mel
linger, an l8.year-old resident of that
town, as the perpetrator Of the crime.
He is under arrest and tells conflict
ing and evidently untruthful stories
OF himself at the time when the act
must have been committed. If doubt
OF guilt is removed, it will be hard
work to prevent the administration of
summary justice.

BUYING AWAY FROM HOME.

The following are a few thoughts
from Editor White of the Emporia
tKan.) Gazette. So we'll put are his
remarks that no room is left for
criticism or improvement:
The man who buys his goods of a
mail order house and expects his
neighbors in Emporia to buy goods of
him, or buy labor of him, or buy
professional service of him is econom-
ically a leech. He is sucking indus
trial blood out of the town and gives
none back. He sends his profits out
of town like a Chinaman and has no
more right to a standing in the COM
munity than a foreigner. We are all
neighbors industrially in this town,
and the man who sends away for his
goods is not one of us. He is of an
other industrial system, and deserves
no mans support in Emporia.
The fact that this is economically
wrong is recognized by the mail order
houses themselves. They protect
their customers as thieves by offering
to keep people from knowing where
the goods were purchased by having
nc tags on them. They say in
their catalogue that no one knows
where they were bought. If it is pro-
per to hide the place of purchase of an
article, it is wrong to buy the article
at that place. Only a man who steals
is a man who is ashamed to say where
he got anything he has. There is
a thing as TAINTED" dry goods,
tainted groceries and tainted
furniture. All of such articles that
are not purchased at home, of men
who befriend you, of men to whom
you W your living, are "tainted"
because they come unfairly.
If you want the support of your fell
townsmen, and want to accept it
without a blush, buy at home when
ever possipble.

In the early days it was thought
that the valleys we're the valuable
portion of the inland empire, and the
first farm locations were all made on
the flats. 1t remained for a ground
squirrel to prove that grain would
make a better growth on the hills than
on the low ground, E. S. Burgan, now
OF this city, being the native of Mis-
souri, who was first "showed." Mr..
Burgan was living at W~aitsburg in
the summer of 1872, and while walk
ing over the rolling hills, (there were
no ties to count those days., he noted
the rank growth made by stools of
wheat that had grown where SQUIRRELS
lad carried a few grains from the
fields below. He pulled several stools
of the ripening grain, took it to town,
and when he explained to VIM. Fudge
where it had come from the latter at
once concluded to break up some of the
upland sod, and try growing a crop
thereon. The next season his upland
srop was the biggest the country had
ever seen, and from that day on every
1ill that does not stand too nearly on
edge has produced the crop that has
made the world sit and take notice.
