The Oldest Klickitat.

Jake Hunt, the oldest living
Klickitat Indian known, lies at
deaths door at his home adjoining
this town east of here. The old
Indian is reputed to be more than
100 years of age.
Years ago an Indian village stood
where the Hunt family now carries
on a general farming business. All
that is left of the old settlement is
a little church, a totem pole and
numerous mounds where the Klicki-
tats lie who could not reach the
century mark. Old Jake says that
this was the Indians paradise be-
fore the advent of early white sett.

A Blythesville grocer who opened
a barrel of apples the other day
found a note from the producer say
ing that he had received seventy
five cents for that barrel of apples
and asking the merchant what he
had to pay for the same. The mer-
chant promptly answered that the
apples in transit had added to the
high cost of living by increasing in
value to $3.50, which left a tOler-
ably fair morgin for freight and
wholesale profits.-Ex.

Who Bought Them?

The grand jury at West Union, O.,
has already returned 1900 indict-
ments against citizens accused of
selling their votes. and it is expect
ed that the number will reach two
thousand before the investigation is
finished. One of the men indicted
is a civil war veteran, eighty-four
years old. He entered a plea of
guilty and was fined SIS. He adj
mitted receiving $11 for his vote
but returned next day, walking
eighteen miles, to tell the judge he
had figured up and found that it
was SIS he secured instead of
eleven.
1t is a shameful state of affairs
when one thousand voters in sin
gle county have so a conception of
the responsibilities of citizenship
But who bought them Money is
not used unless the purchaser is
seeking something he is willing to
pay for. The punishment should
fall upon the Bride Giver as well as
the Bride Taker if there is any
difference, he is the more guilty of
the two. And back of it all is the
corrupting theory openly advanced
by protectionists that it is perfectly
proper to use the government as a
private asset in business. Com

Yellow Peril.

The following is clipped from the
St. Joseph Observer and should be
studied by all timid people who are
scared at the so called yellow peril
and other war-talk rot.
The large number of very rich
men who are backing Carnegie in
his efforts for universal peace are
not impelled thereto by sentimental
feelings. The dead and dying, the
widows and orphans that war
causes do not move them to this
action. 1t is simply dollars and
cents. The international trade Of
the world is estimated at $1500O0,-
100000. War between any two Of
the great nations would destroy
trade. There is no longer any mon
ey in war excepting to few army
contractors. There is more money
in universal peace and therefore
these men are for peace"
