AN INSANE INNATE
HAS LIVELY FIGHT

George Swain, formerly engaged in
the sign painting business in this city,
who was recently adjudged insane,
engaged in a spirited fight with Turn
key, Sam Roberts at the county Jail
last night. About midnight Swain be-
came very noisy and boisterous and
when Roberts attempted to quiet him
a lively scrap ensued. The turnkey
shirt was torn from his back and he
was jabbed in the arm with the pin
of his badge which Swain tore from
Roberts's suspenders. Swain was
finally subdued and placed ina private
cell. He was quiet today.
The twenty-eight prisoners confin-
ed in the Jail were put at work this
morning scrubbing it from top to bot
tom. and by evening it was thought it
would be hard to find a speck of for
eign matter on the floors, walls or
bars.

Portland. Ore, June IA 24-hour
clock. with the dial having twice the
present number of figures, and doing
away with the A. Al. and p. NJ. desig-
nations is the plan of Charles T. Hig-
ginbotham, consulting superintendent
of watch manufacturing concern of
South Bend, Ind, which he advocated
before the convention of Oregon jew
elers held here
Furthermore. he would have but one
time for the whole country, instead of
three different divisions as at pres
ent. Mr.. Higginbotham believes this
movement will spread until it is
adopted by the entire United tSates
and Canada.
Our present clumsy method is just
habit declared Mr.. Higginbotham,
Some pig-headed Romans started the
trouble. These ancient people were
narrow, bigoted and dense in every
thing except the sciences of war and
architecture. The Egyptians had
shown the benefit of dividing time
into "a hours and making the time
piece exemplify the fact in the sim
plest forms. But some stupid Romans
got it into their heads that we should
divide the day into two periods and
then divide those periods into Il
hours each. This gives us two l
o'clocks and SO on and fixed the ne,
cessity upon the western world OF
writing a. m. and p. m. billions OF
times. Because the Romans gave the
custom to us we have blindly main
tanned it.
I'VE are going to change. The stat
ute of limitations never runs against
folly and ignorance. Through proper
channels and by appealing to the com
mon sense of the people we intend to
establish the improved order 1t viii
take little time to undo what has
been in progress for more than 200(
years and get back to the simple. In
telligent Egyptian principle that was
in vogue before arrogant Rome com
mitted its barbarism of writing ante
meridian and post meridian.
Mr.. Higginbotham also proposes tC
make the central time the rule for the
entire country saying it will save 6
world of trouble and injure no one.
