The Inquiry

Tell me, we winged winds that round my pathway roar
Do not know spot where mortals weep more?
Some lone and pleasant DELL valley in the West,
Where free from toll and pain the weary soul may rest
The loud wind dwindled to whisper low,
And sighed for pity as it answered o."
Tell me, thou mighty Deep whose pillows round me play
Knowest thou favored spot some island far
Where weary may find the bliss for which he sghs
Where never lives, and friendship never dies?
The loud waves, rolling in perpetual fow,,
Stopped for awhile, and sighed to answer-'No."
And thou, serenest moon that with such lovely face,
Dost look upon the EARTH asleep in nights embrace;
Tell me, in all thy round, hast thou not seen spot
Where miserable might find happier lot?
Behind cloud the moon withdrew in woe
And voice, sweet, but sad, responded-"No."
Tell me, my secret soul;-oh tell me- hope and faith,
Is there resting place from sin and death?
Is there happy spot, where mortals may be blessed
Where grief may find balm, and WEAKNESS rest?
Faith hope and love, best boons to mortals given, =
Waved their bright wings, and whspered-"Yes, in :
heaven -

D|SGRACEFUL FIGHT
ON Vienna STREET
BRUlSERS FUNNEL EACH OTHER
ON MAIN STREET
Row Took Place Saturday Night and, as
Usual, Corn Juice Was at the
Bottom; Fighters Jailed

A disgraceful and ruffianly fight took
place in front of VIM. English's store,
saturday night, at about ten o'clock,
when thee local pugilists, filled with
very aggravating brand of booze, pum-
meled each other until all looked as
though their faces had been used as
chapping blocks. All of these men are
far from being the best citizens, yet
all of them have eminently respectable
relatives, who are now and have for
some time been innocent and patient
sufferers because of their dissolute twb-
it's; and out of consideration for whym
we are refraining from publishing their
names. The fight occurred over just
plain whisky, which was the cause of
the whole matter, and because of the
absence of the marshal. Deputy Sheriff
Powers had to be called from his home
before the fight could be stopped. The
deputy was strictly on the job when he
did arrive, however, and in very short
time had the whole party in the city
bastile, including also, another young
fellow who, while not engaged in the
fighting, strolled up, full of booze, at
the ropg time and was promptly put
in the ka' snoose along with the rest.

Farmhouse Entered

B. M. Beeman, well-known farmer
residing south of town reports rather
bold piece of work which took place at
his home last Sunday, while he and his
wife were at church. We publish his
account of the affair because his obser-
vations are to the point and worthy of
note:
Last Sunday while we were attend
ing church, some person or persons, en-
tered and took possession of our home
They seemed to be more interested in
the pantry than any other part of the
house, as they replenished their stom-
ach with pie, took the only orange
there was in a sack, and departed.
Just how or where they made their en-
trance is not known, as they covered
their tracks so perfectly, but do know
of an attempt they made by pulling a
staple of window screen and finding
they could not raise the window, they
evidently thought to remove pane of
glass, as all of the putty was cut from
the upper part of the glass. The neigh
bors report that two Clio boys
were lettering around the neighbor-
hood. Sunday, and they are suspected,
and if seen again will be closely
watched. would advise all parents to
take their young boys to church with
them. orremain at home with the boys,
so they may know of their whereabouts.
If the young urchins will not go to
church and Sunday School now, they
may doubtless graduate in the reform
school later on. AS this is the first ex-
perience of this nature in a life time, l
trust it may be the last. sincerely
pity any boy who would dare to ven-
ture on such a scheme, for Il persisted
in it will be the destruction of his man

has the right to give preference to an
Oregon manufacturer in awarding a
contract if the bid of the Oregon manu-
facturer is not more than per cent
higher than that Of an outside company.

bid is not per cent higher than the
Tacoma bid and the Union Meat com.

five per cent limit Then the question
came up as to whether or not fresh
beef was manufactured article. IL is
admitted that sausage, bacon and the
by products Of the meat market are
manufactured articles but fresh beef

If occasion arises for conference
over. the Austrian situation during the

thought such action would not be neces-
sary for at least a fortnight, in view of
expected further exchanges between
Washington and Vienna.

him the cares of state, involved in the
Ancona case, there lurked on his stern
countenance trace of the happiness he
felt at the approaching nuptials. In his
