turned and ran, pursued by the crowd
which had been watching ball game
in the same lot
The mob attempted to take the pris-
oners away and the police were COM
PEELED to draw their revolvers to pre-
vent the crowd from carrying out
their threats. Cries of Lynch Them

fore his assassination, he said to J.B.
Merwin, CATER reconstruction, the
next great question will be the over
throw of the liquor traffic"
After the formal notification of his
nomination to the presidency, he said
that as an appropriate conclusion to
an interview SO important and inter-
esting as that which had just tran
spired he supposed good manners
would require that he should treat the
committee with something to drink;
and opening a door that lead into a
room in the rear, he called out, ''Mary,
Marg!' A girl responded to the call,
to whom Mr.. Lincoln spoke a few
words in an undertone,. and closing
the door, returned again to his guests.
In a few minutes the maiden entered,
bearing a large waiter containing sew
eral glass tumblers, and a large pitch
er in the midst and placed it upon the
center table. Mr.. Lincoln arose and
gravely addressing the company said:
Gentlemen, we must pledge our mu
tual healths in the most healthy bever-
age God has given to man-it is the
only beverage l have ever used or al
lowed to be used in my family, and l
cannot conscientiously depart from it
on the present occasion-it is pure
Adams ale from the spring" and TAX
ing a tumbler he touched it to his lips
and pledged them his highest respects
in a cup of cold water.
When l was a young man-long
ago-before the Sons of Temperance
as an organization had an existance,
I, in a humble way, made temperance
speeches, and think I may say that
to this day I have never by my exam

"Whether the world would be vastly
benefited by a total and final Danish
ment from it of all intoxicating drink
seems to me not now an open question.
Three-fourths of mankind confess the
affirmative with their tongues, and
believe, all the rest acknowledge it in
their hearts,"
If the relative grandeur of revolu.
tions shall be estimated by the great
amount of human misery they allevi'
ate, and the small amount they inAict,
then indeed will this (the temperance
revolution) be the grandest the world

Save THE MOISTURE.
Talk by 0. c. Gregg at Sherwood
Farmers Institute.

Crop yields are usually limited
by the amount of moisture in the
soil. An increase in soil mois-
ture would mean an increase in
the crop. Much can be done to
save moisture, first: by getting
all the rain and snow into the
soil and then not to let them es-
cape except through the plant.
The first point is accomplished
by deep blowing and by keeping
the soil in a condition so that the
moisture from rain can soak in
quickly, thus not giving it a
chance to run off. Deep blowing
and the loose surface bring this
about. Soil moisture can move
upward through the compact
soil, but not through loose soil,
so to bring it up to the plant it
may be necessary to compact the
soil and especially on spring
blowing. To prevent the mois-
ture passing up to the surface
and evaporating, keep the surface
loose. These principles can be
illustrated in the following Wav:
Put some powdered sugar on a
lump of sugar and touch it to
some coffee or water. Notice how
fast the moisture goes. up thru
the compact sugar and how slow
ly it moves through the powdered
sugar.
Narrowing the land loosens up
the surface and so stops evapo-
ration. The earlier it can be
done in the spring the more
moisture will be saved. 1t is also
we'll to harrow grain after it is
up. This loosening up of the soil
saves moisture and it also kills
weeds.
By watching the advertising
columns of a newspaper we are
enabled to know the exact con
ditions of mercantile affairs and
the general prosperity or depres'
sion in the town where that pa.
per is published. We can sit al

business towns and the dead

COUNTY GOES DRY

OVER 1oo-cloSE RACE
FOR TREASURER.

The landslide that struck the whole
country, Tuesday, did not miss wal
Iowa county, but as is usual with all
big storms the effect here was less
than elsewhere.
At this time. Thursday morning. no
returns have been received from Pitts
Durg, Pine Greek and Povwatka pre-
cincts and on only2S7 out of S62 votes
cast i'm Wallowa. The totals so far OF
contested places ara as follows:
Congress- Lafferty 794, Manning
S77.
-Bowerman $50, West 6SS
Prosecuting Attorney-Hodgin 629,
Ivanhoe 745.
State representative French I'll,
Rusk 656.
County Commissioner-Couch 7O4,
McLain 571.
County Treasurer - Franklin 667.
Rachow 636.
County Option-Dry 74S, Wet 653.
Lafferty carries the county by at
least AIS, and West for governor by
100 or more.
Colonel Ivanhoe is as usual way
out in the lead with the biggest vote
save Lafferty's, of any contested Of
flee. He also carries Union county
by over 200, so he is elected by o
big majority.
French and Rusk are nip and tuck
in this county, but Rusk has Union
by over 25O, so he is elected.
Couch is elected commissioner by
from $50 TO 200.
The usual close rub Is on FOR treas
urer. Franklin, with three precincts
and 75 votes i'm Wallowa to hear from
is 81 votes ahead. He looks like a
winner by an awful narrow margin.
The county votes ''dry' by from rs
20 100, more Likely nearer the for
| mcr figure.
A Portland report says the Home
Rule amendment has carried the stat.
ry over 10000. That means any i'm.
corporated town or city In the coun-
dy may vote in saloons in spite OF
The county going dry.
The vote ON the Home Rule amend
ment in this county is right along
with the vote ON county option, but
The state-v ide prohibition and search
measures have not carried this coun'
ty, though the majority against them
will be small.
There is a small mcjority against
the Normal School measures, big ma
jority against the tax measures, and
a great big ma ajority, 10 TO /, against
all new county schemes. The Peo
