Mr. Groundhog has "made good" and and then some. Tak Ing babies to places or amusement Is a "crying" shame. All babies look alike when they be long toother people. Wheat, like the farmer that raises It, Is having Its ups and downs. Melcholr Snennlchsen will be re elected city clerk with hands down. A woman's tongue three Inches long, when handled to advantage, can kill a man six feet tall. An old bachelor of l'lattsmouth says "marriage Is a rallle; one man gets a prize and others the shake." A woman must learn that It iseasler to patch a boys pant's than It is to patch a reputation so it won't show. You can't always guess a man cor rectly by his name. One of the smart est men in Kansas Is named Leather- head. If some women's dress comes up to hor expectations, all we can say in her defense Is, her expectations arc pretty low down. If your enemies would stand still and not kick so much while you roast them it wouldn't be such bard work shoveling in the coat. The question now is, "How long will Old Winter linger In the lap of Miss Spring?" Not very long If she's one of those grouchy old maids. After making a study of the weather for many years, we confess we never feel that there Is much to hope for in March, except St. Patrick's day. If weak babies had lieen put to death at the time Chancellor Andrews was born, no one can say who would now be the head of our greatstatc university? It is announced that gold is to be ex tensively used in spring millinery. Hut it really won't makeany difference in the price whethergold orgeenbacks Is used. A man never fully realizes just how much the movements of the world de pends on hi m until he drops out entire ly and then measures the size of the hole he left. A young lady of this city has grown to maturity and has never seen her name In the papers. If she will scud us her photo we will print it in our Monthly Magazine. There is plenty of good material for mayor, and gentlemen who would do their duty regardless of consequences. A man or this character is what the people will demand. Farmers say the snow last Sunday morning has done more good In the way of moisture thanagbod rain would have done, because the snow soaked the ground more thoroughly. Col. John Tanner of South Omaha truthfully says: "Show me the man who has never lied to his wife and I will show you a sucker who lias been married only about live minntes." It Is claimed that holding olllcc is like kissing a pretty girl-a fellow nev er gets enough. W'care not capable of passing Judgment, but perhaps there arc sonic hereabouts who could tell you all about it. Iloblns, blue birds, red and jay birds, those lovely harbingers of the "good old summer-time" we have been w hist ling and singing for the past Hvc months, have arrived, and we extend them a hearty welcome. Sonic people who attend the theater feel their Importance so much that they arc continually Hitting from one part of the house to another, to "show off," wc presume. This isannoying to those w ho go to see the play. Some papers say that kissing is out of date, l'erhaps It is with some peo ple, but we are willing to wager that there are still a few young men and pretty girls In riattsniouth who are willing to be a little out of date, if to kiss Is out of style. President Sm'tli of the Mormon church must be a happy father. II doesn't know exactly how many chll lieu his wives have. That's nothing We have heard of men whose hardest work in life was to keep their wives from knowing how many children they are the father of. The voters of riat tsniouth are too wine u fleet a mayor who lias a thous- mul and om Irons in the lire, and who will demand too many privileges from the city council. W uot a mayor who Is free to act hs liUwjnleiv tates, anil will not use his position h the interest of any clique or clan. Th other day a woman walked up to Judgfi Travis and asked: "Are yon the judge of reprobate?" "I am the Judge f probate," was the reply "Well, that's il. I tfxuw'I " said tin woman.

In making a remittance for the Jour nal Mr. Aaron l'atterson, a former citizen of Cass county writes: "1 here with remit the amount due, and one dollar more, as 1 am very well pleased with your paper. 1 lived down in that unity for fourteen years, and I like to hear from my old home.

A MOST DEPLORABLE DEATH, A Fifteen-Year-Cld Youth Almost Instantly Killed by the Fall of a Piano. Clarence Jones, aged aliout fifteen years, son ol .Mr. ami Mrs. uuey jones, of this city, wasalmost instantly killed on Saturday afternoon about 4:;;o by being crushed under a piano. The unfortunate boy never regained con sciousness and the body was horribly disligured. The particulars of the sad accident are about as follows: Messrs. Saltier & Fassliender. the furniture dealers, were engaged to furn ish one of their pianos for the perform ance of "The Crisis" at the l'armele theatre the same night. It seems that young J ones, Fat Kelley and a boy nam ed (5 raves were on the wagon balancing Instrument, which was being removed from theirstoretotlie theatre. While passing through the alley in the rear of the Hotel liiley, one of the wheels struck some obstruction in. the alley way, which jostled the instrument somewhat, and in attempting to hold it to its place It fell from the wagon, wilh young Jones underneath its heavy weight. 1 helinipand apparently life less form of the unfortunate boy was carried Into the hotel and physicians summoned. I'pon examination, it was soon discovered that he was beyond medical aid. and died a few moments later. Soon after the accident Coroner Pioeck empaneled a jury, consisting of Oliver Dovey, Jno. Halt, John Cory, II. S. liarthold, Win. Kroehler and Wm. McCauley. The inquest washeld Sunday morning at lo o'clock. The ev idence showed that young Jones came to his death in accordance with the facts stated above. And the testi mony also showed that he was neither employed by Saltier & Fassliender or he proprietors of the I 'amide theatre to assist in removing the. piano, but had gone with his own free will and accord, which releases the responsibil ity of any one for his death. No one regrets the sad affair more so than Mr. John Fassliender, who was driving the team, and no one could possibly have taken the sad alTair to heart, even had the unfortunate young man been a near and dear friend, than Mr. Fassliender. The piano, which weighed in the neighborhood of one thousand pounds, was badly damaged by the accident and was returned to the store. At the time of the accident the mother of the unfortunate young man was visiting with a daughter near Os ceola, Iowa, and assoonastho sad news reached her, started for home, arriving Sunday morning. Mr. George Alrupt and wife (the latter a sister of the de ceased) also arrived Sunday morning from Falls City to attend the funeral The funeral services were held Moii day afternoon at 2 o'clock, from the family residence, Kcv.

Wo arc permitted by the Journal's old friend, Conrad Schlater, to print the following letter, feelingthat it will prove of considerable interest to those who desire to Wcome more familiar with the country, climate, etc. The letter is dateil "().

Kiainain lake and Klamath valley In Oregon form the eastern border of the Cascade range. The lake is some thirty mile in length by lifted) in width, and its southern extremity It breaks through a spur of the Cascades which extends many miles eastward and con nects with the Sierrc Nevadas. lth a fall of some sixty-five feet in two miles Klamath river doboehes into a basin or valley some tifteen miles In length awl an equal width, varied here and there by biifte-like upheavals of volcanic orhiin, soma of which rise l.ooo to L',000 feet above tho plain. This valley or plain is terminated at the southwest by another range of mountains which to the south aud east are known as the lava beds, made famous by Captain Jack and his Modoc Indians lii their uprising against tho whites some thirty years ago. Look ing south some thirty miles-beyond Little Klamal h lake these lava beds can be seen irom mis ranch quite plainly on any clear day. The river, forming a gorge, passes through iTus range of mountains southwesterly, and with a fall of loo feet to the mile, the roar of Hie waters, as they foam and tumble over the rocks, can be heard for many miles. The valley land in general Is covered with natural grasses, while the hills and slopes abound with sago brush and a stunted grow th of junipers aud sometimes of pine. The altitude of this, valley is about l.non feet above sea level. The up lands are only valuable for what tlin her they afford and for grazing pur at lacking in the ambition necessary lo make successful agriculturists. - ney iv to hunt and tisii anu ricie thui drive horses more than anything else; and have no knack ot making things homelike about tholt places. Although the birth rate Is apparently high enough to Indicate an increase in members among mem, me ueaui raie is greater, and points to the early ex tinction of the race or tribe. Nature seems to have unfitted I hem for civi lization. A very few or the Klamaths acquire wealth. Mosfcof them, by far, are consuming their Inheritance. If one delights to revel lu nature s hcautv. his heart's desires would lie amply satisfied by many of the sights presented 10 view in mis legion. Here one can see wouuersoi nature on every hand, ihohu nun e.i,niMe plains spread out at one's feet, bound ed on every hand by lofty and pictur esque mountains, some oi mom oars hued by forests of pine, tlr, cedar nnd juniper: others rock-ribbed and bar ren but ma eslic in meir grandeur. Looking oil' to the south, above the outline of the nearby mountains sixty miles away, the towering form of old Mount Shasta looms up against me sky, white in Us covering of eternal snow forming one of tho mimt sub lime spectacles on the continent. It is 14.41 ! feet in height almve the sea higher thnn Pike's Peak of the pLoekies. Forty miles northwestward the cone-like peak of Mt. Pitt can be seen 10,000 feet high. Numerous lakes abound in this re irion also. From the top of a neigh boring buite one can eaten glimpses or the two Klamath lakes, big and little, In opposite directions; also White lake and Long lake all at one sweep of the eye around the horizon. Some miles noun or Kiamatn lake Is the site of old Fort Klamath, long since abandoned as a military post. Hut it Is situated In one of the most beaulirul valleys 1 ever saw the val ley of Wood river, Anne creek and other trout abounding streams. Some tweuty-tive miles northwest of the old fort, on the crest or the cascades, is the site of Crater lake, one of the wonders of the world. Here,- walled in by acclivitous rocks, 800 to 2,ooo feel beneath the rim lies the most beautiful siicet of water in the whole world. My eldest brother and I paid a visit to mis wonaerrui place last July, standing on its western rim and looking far down the ciillswiilehthore overhang its shore, I was entranced at the picture. ISot a breath of air rip pled the glassy surface of the lake, while the sun shone In all his glory. Mirroring the blue sky above, the water seemed to take on a deeper shade of blue than I ever saw before. On every side the palisade-like clilfs were perfectly mirrored In the water. so that one could scarcely tell where the water ended and the cliti began 1 lie omnium snores sdemnd to bo a mile or two away, while. In fact, the lake is eight miles long and live miles In width. Out In the. Ijkesome miles away, rises a cone-shape mound 1,000 feet In height, which also lias a era ter on its top, pine-covered, and its shape reproduced In the water, adds much to the wonder and beauty ot the scene. At its deepest the lake ineas' ures 2,0ih) feet In depth. It makes one dizzy to think what awful erup tion of nature it was when the volcano which stood above this lake and the rim which surrounds it was blown Into the air and its debris was scattered over thirty miles of the sur rounding country. 1 he sight of this wonderful body of water and its sur roundings will ever be a pleasant memory to me. Pelican liay is the name of a sum mer resort on the west side of Klamath lake, near the foot of Huckleberry Mountain. I here are big springs with the clearest, coldest water running from them, and troutllshing in abund ance, A sixteen pound trout, caught by a young woman visitor, was the biggest fish of hut summer's catch there.

The home was elaborately decorated with all the ornaments customary on such occasions, and the large residence of Mr. and Mrs. Allison was tilled brim full and running over with friends and well wishers of the bride and the fam ily. The bride - a lady of natural beauty and exquisite tastes - when clad in her wedding gown, as she stood by the man she had selected for a hus band, was perfectly lovely. Miss Alii sou counted lie r friends by the score, and vvaV a young lady of worth and spotless character, and happy must be the lot of him who now calls her wife. The groom Wore the conventional black, lb; is not much known In the community, being a resident of Tecum seh, Neb., but it is not too much to say that he has the appearance of a true and noble manhood, worthy of the prize he secured.

Cass county has as good a class of newspapers as will bo found in th slate, not, a bad one in the whob? hunch, yet the hoys are troubled with what medical science would term soft ness of the brain. Cass county Is one of the richest counties In the state and is able and willing to pay the news papers for the legal printing it lias to do. but in their goodness of heart or lack of good, business judgment-the newspaper publishers annually fall over each other in their mad rush to put In a bid to do the printing at starvation prices. What brainy men, and yet what d-m fools. Louisville Courier. No Entertainments In Churches. According to the holding of the state board of equalization, and the attorney general, there can be no more entertainments held in the churches whcni an admission fee is charged without the property is taxed, for tho aw says that all church property from which there is a revenue derived shall be taxed.
