Ovens Rink.

From Monday Dally.
The last game in The bonspiel of last
week was played Saturday afternoon.

IN TWO INsTALLMENTs.
City Levy for Broad Street Paving May
BE Divided.

From Mondays Daily.
An effort will be made to have the
Barber Asphalt Paving company consent
to allow the city to levy its portion of
the expense of the Broad street paving
in two annual instalments instead of in
one This would reduce the amount to
be levied to about $4,000 a year, which
the tax payers will not feel if the bal
ance of the levy is whitfield down to a
minimum.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

DEAFNESS cannot De CuroO
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion Of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition
OF the mucous lining Of the Eusta-
rian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case Of deafness, caused by
catarrh, that cannot be cured by

In order that the dining car
waiter may not neglect your wants
you pass him half-dollar and call
it tip. The porter who makes
up your berth is given a quarter;
it is also called tip. The rail-
road to insure fair treatment, gives
the legislature a pass; this is also a
tip, but it is sometimes called a
courtesy. A man who wants to
sell something to the government,
and hands the official a $4,000
block of his stock or few hundred
in currency, is tipping the official,
but it is usually called a rake-off.
When a man wants an important
measure put through congress, and
he hands the statesman check or
a bunch of bills, the latter has re-
ceived tip, but the more common
name is bribery. Thus it goes all
along the line, until it seems we
are living in an age Of graft, the
result Of this never ending tipping
system. A law should be enacted
that would put stop to it in all its
degrees from the lowest up, until
healthier public sentiment has
been established.-Capital News.

THURSDAY, JUNE Z,
POLITICS..

An anonymous facetious genius
with the tincture of pessimism max
ing acid his veins delivers him.
self OF several diverting definitions
of politics for the enlightenment
and admonition of these times.
Politics, he says, is mixture Of
mud, whitewash, distinction and
graft, in proportions varying with
the individual initiative and in
sensibility.
1t is a serious business for fools
and knave, and for the great mid
die class between those two very
nuisance.
And again it is an outgiving Of
enlightened manhood, which frees
us from the dominion OF Kings, on
the one hand, and on the other
renders us up the slaves of our
passions and prejudices. 1t is the
fecund parent of party spirit, to
made our conscience the fief OF any
rascal sharp enough to steal the
livery.
1t is jest when it exalts every
man into sovereign (37 cents in
our money!
1t is calamity when it sets
your good neighbor at variance
and leaves you the choice Of taking
side With one and being dam
med by the other or Of taking side
with neither and being damned by
both.
In fine, our toaster believes, of
all the decisions which go to sweet
en- the bitterness Of civilization,
politics is about the most delusive.
He might have added, if he had OBJ
served the way our game is played
in Idaho, that politics is not poll
tics at all, but pastime for the
exercise of pie-eaters who might
otherwise suffer indigestion. In
reality, politics is mostly wind,
seeking to blow paper ballots along

There seems to be more trouble
brewing between the Senate and
the President over the type of canal
to be built at Panama. The Sen.
ate fears earthquakes will put the
lock type out of business, and Ted
dy fears that some one else will
get the credit for infallible wisdom
besides himself. The people who
are paying the bills fear they will
never see the canal finished, either

A NEW o. r. & N. TRAIN.
Upper Columbia River Given
Service that is Appreciated.

v
The new local Upper Columbia
River train put on by the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company,
May 20, will do much toward at
tracing tourists to points along
the river between Portland and
The Dalles. The new train leaving
Portland as it does, at S:l5 a. m.
and arriving at Portland at 600 p.
m. the same day, gives one the
opportunity to spend the day at
some OF the delightful places along
the Upper Columbia river, and per-
mits them to return home the same
day. The train is made up OF bag
gage car and coaches, and stops at
all points in both directions SO as to
accommodate local travel as much as
possible. The lightness of the train
permits it TO run at high rate
OF speed between stations, SO that
even with the stops, good time is
made.
There are many beautiful places
along the river, such as, Rooster
Rock, Latourella, Multnomah Falls
and Bonneville, at which a days
outing and picnic can be enjoyed
to the uttermost and this new SER
vice makes it possible to take such
outings, whereas, in the past, when
the service has been performed by
the heavy through trains, it has
not been possible to do this. Col
umbiA southern passengers instead
of waiting at Biggs, which is un-
attractive, are taken to the Dalles
promptly where they await the
train for Portland, coming in on
No. /, as at present, or taking the
local, as they may desire.

 Meanwhile Jack Henshaw, blissfully ignorant of what was in store for him, proceeded quietly with his toilet.
 Miss Pinkerton had got upon his nerves. and he rather regretted that his wife had thought it necessary to send her the invitation she had so persistently 'fished" for ever since they had returned from their honey moon.
 Jack Henshaw was by no means dull. and his foot had hardly crossed the threshold of his breakfast-room before he scented something decided ly unusual in the manner of his wife and her guest.
 What in the name of all that's wonderful is the matter this morn ine?" he said
 At that his wife, who had never frowned upon him since their mar riage. gave him look which he found iifiieIIt to analyze. and which left aim even more bewi.dered than before. Then she rose hurriedly from the table and went to the window. only presenting 10 her husbands aston ishsi gaze the spectacle of pair of shoulders heaving convulsively.

 They seem to be nearly all for your husband" she said. T don't want to be inquisitiye, my dear, but do you read all the letters your husband re- ceives from his old sweethearts?" Young wives are proverbially sensi- tive, and in the face of this question Mrs. Henshaw was almost upset. But she showed a smiling front and opened one of her letters.
 This is from Kate-Mrs. Tracy. She used to be my great chum. She writes such nice letters. Just listen to this: My darling Grace, if you can tear yourself away from the partner of your joys and sorrows, who will, dare say, manage to exist without you for 2 bit, I should like you to come and lunch with me tomorrow Wednesday, at 1:30. If you come am prepared to overlook your com parative neglec. of me since your mar riage. If you don't, beware! Yours ever, Kate / Miss Pinkertons face softened.
