iature. March 8, 1887, that Mr..
Lincoln began that antislavery
record Upon which his fame
through all time must chiefly rest. 1t
was very mild beginning, but even
that required uncommon courage and
'andor in the day and generation In
(which 1t was done.
The whole country was excited con-
corning the doctrines and the practices
OF the abolitionists. These agitators
were rs Yet but few in numbers. but in
New England they comprised some OF
the best citizens. and the leaders were
persons Of high character, OF culture
and social influence, while in the mid
die states they were for the most part
confined TO the Society OF Friends, or
Quakers. All were earnest. active and
nncompromising In the rOpagation of
their opinions. and, believing slavery

the utmost pcrtlnaclty they claimed
the unrestricted right to disseminate
their convictions In any manner they
saw at, regardless OF all consequences.
They paid not the slightest Heed to the
wishes or the opinions OF their oppo-
nents. They denounced all compro-
misses with an unsparIns tongue and
would allow no law of man to stand in
their eyes above the law OF God.

Three Chicago hunters who have been

Wallowa's Bad Men.

One day recently DR.. ]. w. Barnard
showed us his blacklist of eleven men, who
reside in wallowa county. The doctor said
none of the eleven can get anything out of
his drug store without the cash except
saltpeter to put upon his face when he dries.
and then the doctor will give two ounces
free. BY February the doctor expects to
have the black list entirely wiped out. The

the corporation counsel. and after looking
into the legal phase of the question 1t was
decided to nolle pros the case. 49,,
Lieut. W. Milton Farrow, inspector OF
rifle practice. 4th Battalion, has recently
inspected new fabricated wire patched
bullet, which he says should soon take the
place Of the steel enveloped bullets now
used In the Krag ammunition. The new
bullets have been exhibited before several
members of an army board, who are stated
to be favorably impressed with the APPEAR
ance of the new projectile Lieut. Farrow.
is of the opinion that the adoption OF the
new bullet by the National Guard for long
range target practice would tend to improve
scores. The inventor, Mr.. d. H. Armstrong,
explains that the new, combination will
prove a valuable substitute for the alleged
faulty hard metal cased service bullet, espe-
cially for use in the new Springfield army
rifles. .a5Ss. w. - t.. q,
The fabricated wire patched bullet is said
to be a wide departure from anything Of
the kind that has ever been introduced
along this line. BY winding a cotton-cov-
cred wire tightly and closely around the
main body of q soft metal slug, so that 1t
| Gated jacket or patch for the bullet, 1t Is
explained, which will not only prevent
heating and fouling of the gun while In
use but the cotton-covered wire Jacket acts
as a vehicle for absorbing and holding a
lubricant that effectually claens and lubri-
Gates the bore with every shot, reducing
the friction and wear on the rifle barrel,
lessening the recoil, increasing the velocity
and penetration, and preventing lateral ex-
pansion Of the bullet. thereby imparting to
the soft metal projectile an advantageous
characteristic not heretofore possessed by
It, The new bullet, Lieut.. Farrow says,
will be thoroughly tested at the Frankfort
arsenal next week.

Indications That Company

CHARLESTON, Wash, June Tt
was definitely learned today that the
Oregon Short Line from Huntington
will tap this section by the construc-
ton of it's line of the west bank of
the Snake river into Charleston on the
survey made by Engineer Stradley.
This survey was made by Mr.. Strad-
ley more than year ago and follows
the west bank of the stream to a point
above the Eureka mines, so miles
above Asotin.
Shortly after the survey was COM
pleted by Mr.. Stradley the company
made survey from Lewiston by En-
gineer Cobb to a point above the
mouth of the Salmon river. This was
check upon a survey made several
years ago by Engineer Clarke and un-
til this time 1t has not been known
whether the company would enter the
lower river country by an east or west
bank road.
I The announcement that the road
will enter Charleston is an assurance o1
