The dreadful fear of smallpox is
among the people in northern Grant.
The people are excited and are
anxious to know whether or not this
disease is among our neighboring
towns, says the Long Creek Ranger,
1t is reported that what is called a
mild form of smallpox has been
making its way through the John
Day valley for some time and now,
as the disease has reached northern
Grant the people here are beginning
to get worried about the matter. II
is stated that there are two cases al
Hamilton, but in a light form. II
such reports are true the matter
should be looked into. We may be
mislnformed as well as excited, al
least we hope so.

Last night the prisoners in the
city iail became well smoked-sort
o'fumigated, so to speak. There were
three prisoners in the JAIL and two
of them, who were in to recover from
too much bad booze, conceived the
plan of gaining their liberty by burn
ing up the steel cage They secur-
ed a candy bucket that was kept in
side the Jail, and with 1t and sew
eral blankets klndled a fire. OF
course the steel bars wouldn't burn,
and soon the prisoners had enough
smoke, and they began to yell for
help. The yells and the smoke pour
ing from the Jail window attracted the
attention of some boys passing by.
and they notified Officer Chase, who
came and released the prisoners. The
smoke inside the Jail was very dense
and suffocating, and the prisoners
were nearly "all in" when the OFF,
Ger got them to the open air. And

quest for Holiday.
A dispatch from Astoria gives the
following account of laughable
joke perpetrated by citizens of that
city, upon Governor Chamberlain:
A round robin signed by all the
leading business men, many of whom
are among the warmest, and closest
personal friends OF the governor Of
Oregon, was signed up yesterday after
noon and sent by special delivery mail
addressed to Governor Chamberlain
at his Portland office, asking for a
holiday for six moRths because of the
present extraordinary conditions fl
nancially.
The round robin, which Is interest
ing from start to finish, reads as fol-
lows and will probably make a pro-
found impression upon the financial
interests of the entire state:

Excellency, George Chamberlain, Sa-
lem, Or.-Dear Sir: In view of the
fact that we have had nearly As hours
continuous rainfall since April l. and
in further view of the fact that the
salmon catch this year amounted to
only $3,46S,000, as against $3,46S,-
O50 last year: and also considering
that the birth rate and immigration
have caused a decided increase in
Astoria's population; and more es-
pecially because we would enjoy a
holiday, being constitutionally oppos-
ed to work. we have the honor to
petition your excelency to declare a
legal holiday for a period of six
months so as to enable us to stand
off our creditors while taking life
easy; and your petitioners will ever

THE STORY.

q HARP indeed the contrast between
y the departure from and the return
to Jerusalem of King David
But a few days before he had gone
out of the royal city with great re-
joicing followed by 10000 Of the
chosen men Of Israel to bring up the
ark of the Lord and that evening as
the shadows were gathering he had
gloomily and silently returned, follow
ed only by his body guard and his
few attendants and without the ark.
That had been left at the place where
the awful judgment had fallen upon
Uzzah; king and people with super
stitious fear stunning It and refus-
ing to bring 1t further.
The representative men whom
David had summoned from the vari-
GUS tribes and who had come so glad
ly and in such high spirits had re-
turned home again disappointed and
troubled in heart. And they had
taken the word everywhere of the
failure Of their mission, Of how Uzzah
had been suddenly stricken before the
ark and the expedition abruptly ended.
Thus II was that as the king en-.
tered his house that night upon his
return to Jerusalem not only he but
the whole nation as well were trou-
bled by the strange and untoward
things which had como to pass. De-
jectedly King David locked about him
as he sought the seclusion of his pri.
vate apartments. Ar the beauty OF
the cedar palace whi-h he had built
seemed to have passed away and In
place Of the Joy and satisfaction he
had found in the new surroundings
there was now only disappointment
and anxious forebodings.
why Is this thing come to pass?"
he asked himself, dejectedly. did
/ err in my desire to bring up the
ark? How beautiful is the situation
In this city and how fitting II seemed
that the ark of the Lord should rest
within the tabernacle which has been
reared upon the rocky eminence over
looking the Ksdron. How joyful was

lance. Churchill served here two
years and then was so fortunate as
to secure change of garrison to q
place where there was not so much
thankless fighting. but the English
government, reluctant .as ever to give
up corner of land that has once
been painted red. hung on to the we'd
ding present Of the luckless queen for
a generation. On one occasion the
earl of Teviott, the British governor.
with most of his officers and large
portion Of the garrison, was surprised
by the vigilant Moors, and but few
escaped with their lives. After 20
years OF constant warfare, harassed
day and night by tireless and trucu-
lent enemy, the keepers Of John
Bulls treasury counted up the cost,
and shortly after the figures were
known Tangier was abandoned, and
SO the second attempt Of the conquest
Of Morocco failed.
Spain Had Enough.
In 1859 the Spaniards, under O'Don-
nell, invaded Morocco, bent upon OBJ
tanning satisfaction for undoubted in
juries at the hands of lawless Moors,
and perhaps with thoughts of perma-
nent conquest IL all went well. AS
matter of fact, nothing went well.
From 10000 to 10000 men were en-
gagged for two years, with heavy casu-
altiesS and even greater losses from
sickness. At the end of the second
campaign, the Sancho Panza In Cas-
lillian politics got the upper hand Of
the Don Quixote, proclaimed honor
satisfied, the terms offered by the
Moors all that could be desired, and
retired in a blaze Of false glory, out
of which O'Donnell secured duke
dom and many Spanish regiments un-
pronounceable Moorish names. But
the real results were none.
In 1893 the Moors attacked the
Spanish possession Of EMelilla, and the
Madrid government, II hungry for ad-
venture, had 'every opportunity, and
even justification, for punitive ex-
pedition, but very wisely did not

ness men, they paid him large sums to
go away and not restrain trade.
Typical of this same Sultan Mulai
Hassan's attitude toward what is
called progress and improvement In
the western world is an anecdote, the
authenticity of which feel can
vouch for. There were and still are
some dangerous rocks in the harbor
of Rabat, and the owners of the coast
ing steamers engaged in the Morocco
trade were anxious, for obvious rea-
sons, to have them removed. Having
failed to interest the local governor in
the matter. the steamship men got to-
gether and sent an envoy to Fee, who
requested that the companies con-
cerned might be allowed to remove
these dangers to commerce at their
own expense.
Suitan's Willy Answer.
Certainly not" was the sultan's
immediate answer, "the rocks were
put there by God for some good pur-
pose, let no man dare to remove
them"
What the sultan doubtless thought
was that foreign men-of-war could get
into the Atlantic ports of his empire
quite easily enough, and at all events
he did not wish to appear in the eyes
of his sullen people as facilitating the
exits and the entrances OF the hated

damp fogs to rise from the grave

In making concessions to the Euro
pean spirit Of progress and enterprise,
for which his people are not ready, the
unlucky and probably most incapable
young sultan has raised storm which
may cost him his throne. To-day, II
he stands with his people, he is threat
ened with foreign expedition, while
II he stands by the treaty he runs even
greater and nearer danger at the hands
of the various pretenders to the
throne, by whose activity the sultan's
life has been made very miserable
ever since, or almost ever since. By
harem conspiracy and the weakness
Of his father the young prince was
called to the difficult post of ruling

Present Ruler Unpopular.
Abdul Aziz's accession to the throne
was a most unpopular one, and this
fact probably accounts for the fact
that early in his reign he surrounded
himself with foreigners who, with
some exceptions, were not generally
men Of a high type-rope walkers,
photographers, balloonists, and sleight-
of-hand men were the representatives
of western civilization who for long
time appealed most powerfully to the
young sultan's appreciation OF our cul-

content and the disaffection even Of
the people of the capital, and the
growing strength Of the various revo-
lutions in progress. In the last year

one or two sheets in the process, Is
careless and good natured, but possi-

He who clutches his paper as II in
