The rose ex hibit will show forth the glories of the Oregon climate as a producer of hues and perfume. Abraham Lincoln's old home at Springfield, 111., the only piece of real estate ever owned by the martyred president, will be reproduced as the Illinois state building at the Lewis and Clark exposition. Many Lincoln relics will be exhibited. Every day during the four and a half months of the Lewis and Clark exposition one or more excursions to Portland, on account of special events, will be run. It is estimated that 1,000 visitors will reach Portland daily on excursion trains alone. mm is EEPORTED CUBE STANDS TEST 01 PULL INVESTIGATION". A. Former Victim of Locomotor Ataxia Now Free from Suffering and Actively at Work. Yes,' said Mr. Watkins to a reporter, it is trne that I have beeir-cured oi ataxia by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." "Are you sure yoa had locomotor ataxia?" The doctors themselves told me"so. Besides I recognized the symptoms." What were they?" "Well, the first indications were a •tiff aess about the knee joints that came on about four years ago. A few months after that appeared, my walk got to be uncertain, shaky-like. I lost confidence in my power to_ control the movements of my legs. Once, when I was in the eellar, I started-to pick np two scuttles of coal, and my legs gave way snddenly, juid I ttimbled all in a heap in a basket. I couldn't close my eyes and keep my balance to save my life. Then I hfcd fearful pains over my whole body and I lost control over my kidneys and my bowels."

Things looked pretty bad for me until I ran across a young man who had been cured by Dr. Wil liama' Pink Fills and who advisdd me to try them." "Didthese pills help you rightaway?" I didn't see much improvement un til I had nsed six boxes. The first bene fit I noticed was a bfetter circulation and a picking up iu strength and weight. I gradually got confidence in my ability to direct the movements of my legs, and in the course of seven or eight months all the troubles had disappeared." Do you regard yourself as entirely well now?" **I do the work of a well man at any rate. I can closo my eyes and stand up all right and move about the same as other men.

"THE OREGON PONY." 8TOEY OF FIRST LOCOMOTIVE EVEB USED IN STATE. The Progress of Invention Has Made the Old Engine a Back Number, But in Its Day It Was a Great Worker. Portland, Ore.—Standing in the Ma cJiinery, Electricity and Transporta tion building at the Portland Lewis and Clark exposition is a tiny locomo tive, little larger than an automobile. The four wheels of the locomotive ap pear slightly larger than barrel hoops, the boiler is about as big as an ap ple barrel, and the whole engine is only 13 feet long. This little engine, which bears the title Oregon Pony, was the first loco motive used in Oregon. The pony, as almost every visitor takes occasion to remark, is "not so much to look at." But. In its day it was a great engine to work, and its history is so entan gled with the history of early days in Oregon as to make it worthy of more than passing attention. The Oregon Pony was born in the year 1861 at San Francisco, and im mediately entered upon its life labors, going into commission as a portage connecting steamboats on the Colum bia river at a place where for seven miles the rapids made it impossible for boats to pass. it was the discovery of gold at Canyon City, Ore., that made the pony a necessary factor in western trans' portation, and the story of that discov ery in itself forms an interesting tale that few people know. At about *tlie time of the outbreak of the civil war a party of emigrants, making their weary way over the mountains, crossed a stream which led into a lake. In the bed of the stream they found a yellow metal, which, they discovered, could be flattened out into a thin sheet by laying a chunk of it on a wagon wheel and pounding it OREGON'S FIRST LOCOMOTIVE. [Primitive Engine That Did Great Work During Gold Fever.) with a hammer. The emigrants were interested and left a blue bucket to tpark the place* where they had picked up the yellow metal, and when they met some miners they told of their find. The search for the blue bucket began in a hurry. The bucket never was found, but the men who went in search of it found other streams as rich as the one which the bucket had been left to mark. Certain holdings there are named the Blue Bucket mines. Canyon City has been called "the last stand of the Argonauts." Thither flocked the "forty-niners" from Cali fornia, pioneer gold seekers who had sought the rainbow's end in many places. The "forty-niners" made the strip overland, but when the news of the new find reached San Francisco hundreds of people set sail from the city for the north in the sailing ves sels that then plied the Pacific coast. The ships brought the gold seekers to Portland, then a struggling town of about 3,000 inhabitants. Beyond Portland ocean vessels could not sail, and immediately tb«: Oregon Navigation company was formed to-put in commission on the upper Columbia steamboats of a light draft which could navigate the stream. The company built steamboats to carry passengers and freight from Portlai.d to the Cascades, a little more than half way to The Dalles, which point was then, and still is, the head of navigation, and other boats to ply the water above the Cascades. Betweon the end of one steamship run and the beginning of., the other was a stretch of seven miles of rapids, where no steamboats could navigate on account of the rocks which blocked the chan nel. At first the steamboat company built a wagon road, and made the portage of gold seekers and their goods by team. But the road was a poor one, and the rains washed part of it away every little while. The. difficulty was overcome temporarily by building a track with oak rails over which was laid a thin covering of strap iron. And it was for service on this track that the pony was built. The pony was found to be the very thing needed. The engine was not too heavy for the rails, and was so small that she took the curves without dif ficulty and she could make the seven miles in 'an hour, which was not at all bad. The first run wis made on May 10, 1862, and for twa years the faithful pony ran up and down with her load of passengers and freight. By the end of this period the iron railn from the east had arrived and been put in place, and a new engine, bigger and stronger, took the place of the pony. The pony, being now of no use, was sol* to David Hewes, of San Francisco, ft' $1,000, and entered upon a prosaic existence, hauling sand to fill up San Francisco bay. In 1872 the pony was retired from active serv ice. Mr. Hewes agreed to send the pony to the Lewis apd Clark exposi tion, and stipulated that after the close of the fair the engine was to be given to the state of Oregon. This will be dor*. OLD DEBTORS' PRISON. Building at Georgetown Still in Good State of Preservation Now Used as a Church. Washington.—South of the canal on Thirty-second street, Georgetown, stands the old debtors' prison, one of the oldest buildings in that historic city. Years prior to the laying out of the District of Columbia this structure was built, and as far lack as the lat ter part of the seventeenth century was used as a municipal prison, among its first inmates as prisoners being Michael and Matthew Dulaney, charged with setting fire to a tobacco ware house. The prison was regarded as unsafe and the men were placed in I- PRISON FOR DEBTORS. (Ancient Building Still In Good State of Preservation.) irons tj.nd special guards placed over them. This was the only prison in the then lower part of Montgomery county, Maryland, although the coun ty court was held at Rockville, and there It was that all violators of the state' laws in the county were carried for trial. Even in those good old days people would get into trouble and into jail. The laws were strict —early to bed and early to rise, and if one failed to meet his financial obligations he wa3 thrown into jail. The old building has been used for many purposes since then, and now a faithful band of colored people, Bap tists, hold religious services there, en trance being through an end door which is reached by a long rickety flight of stone steps. The lower floor is used as a storage house for fer tilizer, but this does not interfere with the worshipers. Barring the di lapidated condition of the roof, win dows and chimneys, the building, which is of stone and brick, is in a splendid state of preservation, and un less torn down to make room for an other building will doubtless remain as a historic spot of interest for many years. CAPT. HOBSON WEDS. Hero of the Xerrimac and Miss Hull Married—Both Come of Fa mous Ancestry. New York.—The marriage of Miss Grizelda Houston Hull and Capt. Rich mond Pearson Hobson, the hero of the Merrimac, on May 25 was the culmina tion of an interesting romance and marks an alliance which' joins soifie of the best bl6od in the country. The marriage was solemnized at the home of the bride's parents in Tuxedo. Only relatives and a few intimate friends of the contracting parties were present Mrs. Hobson is on her father's side related to the Hulls, Strongs, Farn hams and Doolittles of New England, and is through her mother, who was a Miss Lucia Houston, daughter of Judge Russell Houston, of Kentucky related to some of th.e finest families of the south. She is the grandniece CAPT. R. P. HOBSON. (Hero of the Merrimac Has Entered Holy Bonds of Wedlock.) of Gov. Houston, of Alabama, who was recognized as one of the greatest ex ecutives who ever presided over the destinies of that state. She, therefore, has in her veins the blood of the Pollcs, the famous President Sam Houston, of Texas, the Longs, the Joneses, the Eatons, and other noted famUieB of Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky and Ten nessee. Capt. Hobson, too, comes of famous ancestry, both south and north. Through his mother, who was Miss Sarah Croom Pearson, daughter of Chief Justice Richmoad Pearson, he is related to the Saltenstals and Brew sters, of Massachusetts, and on his fa ther's side is related to the More heads, Whites, Williams and others who did much to lay the foundations of the great states in Nbrth Carolina. Catches Prise Codfish. Capt. Lorenzen, of the schooner E. A. Hooper, of Gloucester, brought in the prize codfish to Boston recently. The fish was a monster in appearance, with a head like that of a good-sized swordfish. It was caught off Halfway rock. The fish weighed 83 pounds dressed, and according to fishermen who saw it must have weighed nearly 100 pounds when caught. The fish measured almost six feet in length. It was bought by one of the wholesale housed and. sold immediately to a re tail dealer in the Back bay. T^-' DOT AN EXCUSE TO TALK. Wanted to Say Something to the Old Woman and the Way Was Opened.

'How fast waa the machine going?' I asked of him, as he came out and looked after the flying auto. 'Forty miles an hour,' he replied. 'Then you can make the owner pay /or your hog.' "'Yes, 1 suppose so,' but I don't think I shall l'ool with the case.' I 'Don't you think the hog is worth going to law about, eh?' I ^e was a line hog, and I ought to be paid for him, but me and the old iwoman have been grouty at each other lor a week, and I've been aching for a chance to open out on her.

An Example of the Surprising Effect It May Have on Our Morals. Congressman Bingham, at a dinner of the Philadelphia Clover club, spoke of modern life in the most optimistic way, relates the Cincinnati Enquirer. "The world is growing better/' he said. "Daily it becomes cleaner, kinder, and more upright. Nearly everything makes for reform. Even the telephone has _§ tre mendous reforming influence. "Let me give you an example of the •urpvising enect that the telephone exer cises over our morals. "A certain man, at breakfast one morn ing, said to his wife: 'My dear, I'll not be home to dinner to-night, and you had better not sit up for me, as I shall be detained very late at the office posting my books.' 'Very well,' the lady answered. 'Before I go to bed I'll say good night to you over the telephone.' ."T,'ie man had forgotten, you see, that a telephone now connected his office and his house."
