The Jingle of Gold.

"Bob" Taylor, the new Sena-
tor from Tennessee, seems to have
a good grip on the situation. In
a recent speech in New York he
said, among other things: "The
lust of gold and the hunger for
power have ridden rough shod
over liberty and love and law and
hung their banners over every
capital and every mart. The
jingle Of gold sounds even in the
laughter of modern society, and
the eyes of the church are iaun-
diced with it. We have become
a nation of gold-worshippers. l
fear that if the American people,
in their present spirit, were trans
planted to the heaven above, they
would tear up the golden streets
in three hours and levy a tax on
the hafps of the angels for the
benefit of American industry. -

EnE,ominu Instructions.

"Mr. Whittlesy," said the city ed
itor to the new reporter, "there's
to be a meeting of the trustees at
the public library building this even
ing at s o'clock. You may go and
cover it. Make story of about 400
words out of it"
The new reporter went away on
his assignment, and the chief of the
local department turned again to
his desk, made an entry in the as
signment book that lay before him
and dismissed the matter from his
mind. About II o'clock, however,
he suddenly called out:
"Where's Whittlesy?"
"Here, sir" answered that young
man, coming forward.

IN kEkoFY OF Her.
Something of the Life of the Late
Mrs. Lille King.

The funeral of the late Mrs.
Lille King was held in Portland
last Wednesday at 2 O'Clock from
the Holman undertaking parlors.
The services were conducted by
Rev. George H. Feese. former

lowed by numerous relatives and
friends the remains were laid to
rest in Lone Fir cemetery.
Lille Ramsdall was born in
San Jose, California, June 80,
1857. At the age of one year she
came with her parents to Oregon,
the family settling in Kings VAL
ley, Benton county. Here de.

''For there's no odor of cooking

The dumb waiter shafts and the va

THE STORY OF KHAKI.
4 lasting Dye That Was Discovered
by Accident.

Khaki, the olive rolored canvas
:loth worn by soldiers in hot eli
mates, owes its present use to a
lucky accident, as is the case with
many inventions. This cotton stuff
has been worn in India by British
troops for many years. Its tint was
a greenish brown, but it always fad
ed when it was washed with soap.
A business man from Manchester
while travelling in India CHANGED to
enter into conversation with an
English officer, who remarked care
lessly that the first manufacturer
who could produce a cotton drill
that would not fade would make his
fortune.
The young Englishman never for
got this hint. He came home, found
a skillful dyer and with him began
the search for an olive dye which
when used on cotton cloth would
not yield to soap or soda. They
spent years in these experiments, all
Of which proved fruitless.
One day they found among sew
eral scraps of dyed cloth one which
retained its color under the most
severe tests. The puzzling fact was
that it had been cut from the same
piece Of cloth and subjected to the
same processes as the other scraps,
all of which faded. The two expert
menters were greatly perplexed and
for months tried in vain to solve
the riddle. The one little fragment
of khaki was the only one which
kept its color against all attacks.
By chance one day they found
that the dye in which this scrap had
been dipped had remained for a
time in a metal dish of peculiar
kind. The secret was found. The
metal Of the dish in combination
with the chemicals of the dye had
furnished the one thing needful.
They tried the experiment with 9TH
er pieces. The dye held, and their
fortunes were made.AChicago Rec

The Soy Bean.

The complaint is sometimes made
that the soy bean does not enrich the
soil to the same extent as does the
culture of the cowoea. Judging from
the chemical composition of the two
crops it seems possible that when both
crops are removed from the soil the
SOY bean carries away a greater guam
tity of fertility because the grain is
SO much richer fI nitrogen than the
grain of the ccwpea. If. however.
both crops are used for green manur-
ing their chemical composition cannot
produce a wide difference In soil im-
provement. The higher nitrogen CON-

Death Of ". G. Beavers.

Our citizens were startled Wednes-
day morning upon the announcement
of the death of William g. Beavers,
a well-known young man Of Meeker,
who passed away at 1880 at his home
surrounded by his family and a few
friends. His illness was of short
duration, having been up and around
almost to the day Of his death, and
returned from Axial only the day
before, where he had been called on
. professional visit, but was taken
down sick there. Heart trouble of
some kind was the direct cause.
Deceased was born in the year 1874,
and came to Meeker some six years
ago from the Gunnison country. A
blacksmith by trade, he worked In
the various shops here and was for q
long time for himself In a shop
across from the M. M. store, but of
late has been attending to veterinary
work. He WAS the son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. F. Beavers, who, besides
wife and three little children, and
several brothers and sisters, will
mourn his death. Three absent
brothers and sister were immedi-
ately telegraphed for, and the day Of
the funeral set for Sunday to allow
them time to get here.
The Odd Fellows took charge Of
the remains and will conduct the
funeral ceremony, while the Modern
Woodmen. of which order deceased
was also member, will attend In .
body. The body will be taken to the
Methodist church at O'Clock to-
morrow afternoon, and after the re-
ligious services will be taken to
Highland cemetery for interment.
