WATERsPoUT IN THE ALPS.
Startling Phenomenon Recently Wit
messed In One Of the Noun
tain Lakes.

The rare spectacle Of q waterspout
on one Of the Swiss lakes was wit
messed, and fortunately photographed,
on the afternoon OF June 19 last. Tho
phenomenon appeared at a little after
four o'clock, In the middle Of the Lake
Of Zug, which lies at the foot Of the
Rigi. Observers at Felsenegg saw .
vaporous cone form In the lower part
Of the clouds hanging over the lake,
while at the same time the water d.
rectly beneath began to wrinkle In .
peculiar manner. Then q foamirg
basin, with high, whirling walls Of
water, some 30 feet in diameter,
formed IN the center Of the lake. A
huge Jet Of water leaped upward,
while the cloudy cone descended from
above until Q funnel was formed ooa-
Meeting the lake with the clouds. The
height Of the funnel was estimated at
from 1000 to 5000 feet. The, entire
phenomenon Travelled southeastward
with high wind, and lasted about 20
minutes.

The congressman continued by re-

Theodore W. Jones, who at one
time mixed up in q church fight in
Quinn chapel, in which he drew and
fiourished his bulldog revolver, last
week contributed a long weak ramb-
ling article to one Of the papers In
this city, and among other weak and
childish things he went on to say,
that the Southern Negroes interest
in the ballot is on the wane," and
that "in those states where dis.
franchisement laws are the most
rigid; there thrift and repeated sue
cess has more than crowned the ef-
forts Of the Negro"
It would seem to us that II 1t
makes a better man out Of the Negro,
in Alabama, North and South Caro-
lima and IN the other Southern
states, where he has been disfran-
chised, as Mr.. Jones and his Lord
and Master Booker T. Washington
contend, then the whites In the North
are committing a great crime against
the Negro by not striking the ballot
from his hand. for 1t is a mighty poor
rule that cannot be worked both ways.
Col. Jones, who is also an officer In
Booker T. Washington's famous
Negro National Business League
his Lord and master and their blind
followers are too thick headed to
note this one great fundamental
truth namely. that you cannot sue
cessfully trample upon the constitu-
tional rights Of one special class Of
semi-citizens residing. in any Of the
Southern states without sooner or
later effecting the constitutional
rights Of the same class Of citizens or
residing in other sections
Of the same country"

a great crime against humanity in its
entirety.
But Messrs. Jones and Washington,
and company, who are devoid Of the
finer sensibilities and high ethical
ideals, and are only capable Of look
ing at everything through the COM
mercial eye, (like the gambler }
when It comes to dealing with the
Negro as a full fiedged American citl-
gen cannot drink in this true sys-
TEN of philosophy.
It is whiningly stated by Mr.. Jones
In the article in question, that, Prof.
Booker T. Washington cannot restore
the ballot to the disfranchised Negro
even II he desired to do so. and that it
Is wise on his part to keep quiet on
that proposition. No one ever
claimed that Mr.. Washington ever
possessed the power to accomplish
such a feat, but we do claim, that as
long as he desires to pose as the
greatest Negro in the world In every
respect that he has no moral right to
endorse those disfranchising measures
and to put his stamp Of approval on
the Jim Crow" car laws of the
South by declaring that ''he is more
concerned about the beastly Negro IN
the "Jim Crow. car than he Is about
the "Jim Crow car itself" Thereby
implying that, all Negroes are beasts
by nature.
Vardaman, Jeff Davis, Ben TILL
man, Rev. Thomas Dixon and all the
other most rabid enemies Of the
Negro, have never been able to ex-
eel Mr.. Washington in this respect,
in their Trades, against the Negro,
and his hellish doctrine ought to for
ever damn him-his followers, shout
ers and retainers, In the estimation
of all liberty loving Afro-Americans.

The fact was forcibly impressed on

what actually happened was this,
as I subsequently learned. SalZ, who
is well known as the owner Of a big
tannery at Benicia, arrived at the ho-
tel, and, noticing Col Hecht's name
and title on the register, decided that
he needed a title himself. So he wrote
after his name what he thought was .
proper abbreViation for general mer-
chandise.' It worked beautifully. Dur

spectfully addressed as Gen. SalZ. =

MEN ARE NOT BRUTEs.

We do not know how Editor Davey
feels about It. but this writer does
not like Brother Selleck calling the
drinking men brutes.
OF course, he limited Il TO the Ger
mans and the Irish, but he really
MEANT ALL WHO DRINK BEER
OR wHIsKEY.
Now, we feel as sorry as anyone
can for the man who has made bad
habit of beer or whiskey drinking,
but he is far from being brute.
Brother Selleck didn't exactly
mean what he said, and he should
study his dictionary a little more
carefully, and read his Bible closer.
Man, no matter what his habits, is
never a brute. He was created In the
image and likeness of God from the
beginning.
He may depart from the Truth of
Being. He may not always and fully
reflect his divine origin. BUT HE IS
NEVER A BRUTE.
We think we will have to ask Edi-
tor Davey to join us and sit down
and have a good-natured symposium
with Brother Selleck.
We can all learn something, and
perhaps we could dlsillusionize him

WILL BE
EXECUTED
Fred A Shepherd Said By
Trail Judge 10 Be Per-
fectly Sane

It is not likely that Governcr
Chamberlain will interfere in the el.
ecution of the sentence of death ia
the matter of the hanging Of Fred A
Shepherd, of Crook county.
The Judge yesterday received
letter from Judge Arthur A. Frazer,
OF Portland, who went to CroOk
county to hold court, and who was
the trial judge. Judge Frazer said
there are no extenuating clrcuu'
stances. He said Shepherd had q
fair trial and that three competenl
physicians announced him perfectly
sane. He is of a low order OF inte'|
llgence, but sane, and has never dis|
played any symptoms Of INSANITY
Judge Frazer says the crime was TIE
most atrocious that ever came under
his judicial notice, and was similar
to those which cause lynchings In th'
Southern states. He said his creates
surprise is that Shepherd was no'
summarily disposed of by the n'i
who took him into custody at lh'
zell house at the time Mrs ls-
came riding back from the nelsi'
bors, scared, outraged, wounded an'
bleeding.
The only real effort to save sns-
herds neck seems TO come from
maudlin sentlmentality, and It Is H
considered likely that executive elsl'
ency will be used In his behalf.
