to put them upon the free list because. if
great artists see proper to bring their
work to this country in order to elevate
the taste of our people, in order to create
the generous competition between artists

not think that, with the other provisions
in the bill, it was necessary to put a tax

that they should rather be encouraged to

Gated man, fit TO be here as tic repre-

say that one tendency of this age is going
to the extreme, and that is the tendency
to the exclusively practical; that we
should escape, If possible. from all That
artistic and coniine ourselves to absolute
physical necessities.
The greatest peoples of the whole world
have been those who were practical and
at the same time devoted to art and sculp-
ture. When the people of the United
States by their legislation discriminate
against art in any shape, whether paint
Ing or sculpture, or even literary produce
ton, then the dccadence of the republic
will commence. There is something else
in this world besides meat and bread and
clothing A people who have nothing else
are on the verge of barbarism. A people
who cannot admire art, who eschew it
because it is unnecessary, will soon de-
generate into fit subjects of despotism.

A New Pronhet.


Attorney General Hadley Of Missouri
figures much in the newspapers and
stands much in the limelight these
days. OF all the Republican accidents
brought to the surface in Missouri by
the landslide Of 1904 Hadley appears
to be of the best stuff. Because of the
wide advertisement which he has re-
ceived in his tussle with Standard Oil
he was lately the principal orator at
the annual banquet of the Missouri So
ciety of New York. On that occasion
he turned prophet, and here is his pre-
diction: "Missouri is in the Republican
column to stay, at least till she
changes back" perfectly safe utter
ance. In that sentence the qualifying
portion Is the more Important part
Eat least till she changes back" Veri
ly, Attorney General Hadley has a
great head. In gaming parlance there
is performance known as hedging"
Perhaps Brother Hadley has heard of
that and was practicing it. Perhaps he
is a natural born wit and could not re-
sIst the temptation TO exercise that
faculty. At any rate. be hit the bulls
eye and no mistake. Missouri Is In
the Republican column to stay, at least
till she changes back" That reminds
one of the man who was Boosting of
how well his dog obeyed him. To Illus
trate his theory he said to the ca
nine, $50 outdoors" whereupon doggy
started to 60 under the bed. Observ-
Ing that the man added, COR under
the bed" thereby leaving himself in
the position that the dog was thorough
~ obedient.
Nobody begrudges Mr.. Hadley the
reputation he has made in his chase
| after Rockefeller. He is too sensible a
| man to believe for one moment that
Missouri is Republican state, and per-
haps 1t was his own realization of an
impending Democratic victory in that
imperial commonwealth that he was
endeavoring to convey to bis auditors
IN as delicate manner as possible. At
any rate, he struck the nail on the head
In his SECOND half of his prophecy
sat least till she changes back"-which
will be on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in next November. Light.
ming never strikes twice In the same
place, so it is said. The same is true
about Missouri's going Republican. In
fit of mental alteration she did that
in 1894 and then gave rousing Demo
cratic majorities regularly till 1904,
when through concentration of
unfortunate circumstances enough
Democrats refused to vote to bring
about repetition Of that unpleasant
performance. Safe to say, 1t will be
several years before such thing hap
pens again. In the meantime Genera
Hadley takes his place among the in
genious If not the major prophets.

TERRIBLE CRIME
NEAR PRINEVlLLE

News chine from Prinevile on Mon.
day morning of horrible crime com
mitted near that place at an early
hour Of the morning, when a man
named FIR d Sheppard shot and in
stantly killed Ben Zell and then Grim
inally assaulted Iell's wife, The de-
tails of the tragedy are meagre, but
the story as pieced out of uumer us
rumols, is about as follows:
Early Monday morning Zell and his
wife were awake ed in their room by
Sheppard who camo in through the
unlocked door and announced that he
had come t" Kill them. Zell began 10
beg for chance fer their lives, ask
ing that he tven be allowed to dress,
and while rarleying with Sheppard
both Iell aud his wife managed to es-
cape from the room. Sheppard fol.
lowed, firing once at Zell aud missing
him az he cros sed the barnyabd, and
then just as I'll cached the barn he
iired again aud struck Zell in the
back, killing him instantly. He then
carried Mrs Zell back to the house,
where he criminally assaulted her and
then threatened to kill her. She
begged fOl her life and Sheppard fin
ally told her that be would not kill
her if she would swear to lay the kill
ing of MIR. Zell upon German who
was sleeping at the barn, which she
promised to do. Once free, Mrs. ZelI
made her way over to her nearest
neighbors, two miles away, to whom
she told her horrible experiences, and
the men on the place Immediately re-
turned with her and captured the
murderer, who had never left the
house. Sheppard is now in the coun-
ty Jail, without bail The murdered
man was brother of W. II. Zell, who
resides on Agency Plains. No reason
has been assigned for the murder Of
Zeil, and none is known. Madras

ers who for SO many years came to our shop for
their meats, that it is useless for me to introduce
Wood Bros, our SUCCESSORS, as their s years in
the butcher business in Wasco county has made
them so widely known that hn introduction is un-
necessary. Being honest, capable business men,
they have the means and ability to rwn a business
as it should be rum and in way that will be a
credit to our city.
Iexpect to stay with the new firm for awhile,
and will be glad to see you all at the old stand, |
will guarantee that you will get just as much meat
for your money, just as courteous treatment and
just as prompt service as can be had in the city.
We will have full line of everything good to

Grape Crop Almost a Failure.

The large grape industry of this vi.
clniGy may this year be called fail.
nRe as fsr as crop goes. David's
Hill, few miles northwest of this
city is covered with scores of vine.
yards, mostly managed by Germans.
The yearly output of the best brands
OF wines OF Oregon come from this
very spot. Mr.. Reuter- has perhaps
received more medals than any other
VI. maker in Oregon for his products.
uu has had numerous brands ON ex-
hibision at the Chicago, Buffalo, st..
Louis and the Lewis and Clark expo
sitions, and from all has received
medals aud awards that are the pride
of Oregon. MIR. Reuter- has also re.
ceived gold medal for wine sent to
the Paris exposition of 1900.
Mr. Anderson, whsn asked sbout
the output of the vineyards this fall,
said: "The crop might be called q
failure this year, although the quality
is perfect, but the quantity is so
small that the present outlook 10 veIy
discouraging
The grapes on the hill are ripe, per-
feet and are very sweet. Mr., Ander-
son. who is the largest grower of
grapes on the hill, further said ::
'The Niagara and Concord are fail
nre, the Sweetwaters are only bearing
a half crop, but are of good quality.
The Black Hamburg, although not
ripe yet, show what might be called a
good crop, but nothing to brag Of,
The Red Mountain are beauties and
in perfect condition and the vines are
burdened with fruit. These are really
the only vines that are bearing any
thing near the expected crop this fall.
This result was due to the early CON
dition of the spring weather and later
to the extreme dry summer months. "
