Whut Are We fo:!:inp Tof
Wo merely chronicle the fact. At
Piqna, Ohio, one Thomas Wise courted
and said be would marry Miss Jennie
Mnrtine. He backed out of his promise,
and, after n time, engaged himself to
another lady. The other day, with this
guilt upon him, he went to tho Catholic
church; also to the same church went
Jennie, and took a Beat immediately
behind Thomas. After she had smoothed
out the folds of her dress nnd properly
adjusted her new hat, she took a horse
pistol from her pocket, placed the muz
zle against Thomas' back, and blew a
hole through his lungs. Thomas is not
expected to recover. "But wasn't there
any—? " No, it don't appear that there
was anything of that kind at all. Jen
nie seems to have been as chaste as an
icicle on the eaves of Diana's woodshed,
al l Tom ditto.
There is not much to be said about it
—md yet there is. It all comes from
tho law of progress, you see. A woman's
right to homicide the man who has been
too much allured by her charms hits
been so frequently affirmed by our
courts that it may bo considered a part
of the common law of the land. But to
scorn her for tho allurements of some
hated rival—this is a far greater out
rage to sensitive womanhood, and pro
gress demands that it be placed among
capital crimes, also. This at least,
seems to have been Miss Jennie's view
of it when she pnrsnod Thomas into the
sanctuary and slew him at tho foot of
tho altar, as it were.
The circle of social ideas and require
ments within which a man's life may be
considered safe is becoming fearfully
narrowed. Tho old Siekles-Keyes case
no one was ever disposed to complain of
—for, notwithstanding pome very good
people thought tho offender in that
should havo been tried beforo ho was
executed, still the moral of the case had
no terrors for young men of "correct
habits." But push this Ohio affair to
its logical results, and where does the
man of the period stand? He may en
large his litany and cry out. " From rag
ing females and horse-pistols in church,
good Lord deliver mo!"' He may fly to
the altar and cling to its horns for safe
ty. In vain—ho shall be made to feel
that "hades hath no fury liko a woman
scorned." The upshot of it nil will be,
we suppose, to make soci;:l intercourse
between ladies and gentlemen imjxjssi
ble. In the present condition of the
law of homicido wo are not sure but
that it would be best.
Exemptions in Washington.

the rounds of the territorial press. The

the capitol, penitentiary, insane asylum,
etc., and other views in Salem, tho cap
ital city, BOOompanied by a largo sup

bers of tho legislature now in session.
A description of Salem and that poition
of the great Willamette valley in which

L. Samuel, publisher, Portland, Oregon.
A convict in the Walla Walla peni
tentiary charges tho officials of that
institution with gross neglect of duty,
in that the prisoners are only exercined
hair an hour Sundays; that the food is
cooked without seasoning; that little
attention is given to the sanitary con
dition of the cells, and that proper
underclothing is not provided. If this
is true, it is a disgrace to our civilization.
Officials who have in chargo those un
fortunates who are deprived of their
liberty for whatever cause, who add one
jot or tittle to the punishment that the
law prescribe, or fail to give their
wards the care and attention that our
laws contemplate, should be banished to
Siberia, where they would find congenial
employment in the Russian prisons.
While we aro opposed to making martyrs
of criminals, we believe in treating them
as human beings.
At a public meeting of the citizens of
Lewiston, Idaho, held recently, tho fol
lowing resolutions wore unanimonsly
adopted:
Resolved, that tho vital interests of
north Idaho demand its annexation to
Washington territory, when admitted as
a state.
That wo condemn the opposition of
Delegate Dubois against tho measure.
That we condemn any effort looking
to any statehood of Idaho which includes
north Idaho within its limits.
That we urgently request congress to
submit this question to a vote of tho
people of north Idaho.
A. S. Bliton, editor of the Wheat
land (Dak) Eagle, contemplates moving
his newspaper plant to Palouse
City.—[Exchange.
If this proves to bo the case, th?
Herald can congratulate Palonse City
on the acquisition. Mr Bliton is not
only a rattling good newspaper man,
but a moat genial fellow as well. Pa
louse needs a lively paper the worbt way.
The Northern Pacific officials say that
the mild weather in the territory trav
ersed by the line has been the cause of a
large immigration into the northwest.
During the first cine days of last month
there was & greater number of settlers
coming to Washington territory than
during the entiro month of January
last year.
The Idaho legislature has decreed
that the terrriorial university shall be
located at Moscow. That politic body
hopos by this means to endear the pan
handle to the citizens of Idaho. Mos
cow is jubilant.
Wheat Freights.
[Chester (Penna. i llecord.]
The Palouso territory is capable of
producing, when fully developed,
300,000,000 bushels of wheat for export
annually. If the agriculturists of that
wonderfully productive land are relieved
from the burdens laid on them by mo
nopolistic transportation corporations,
aad are granted as low freight charges
as are in voguo, say, between Chicago
and New York, they can lay wheat down
on Tucoma's wharves at 40 cents per
bushel and make a living profit. Wheat
is carrie*! from Tacoma to England for
22 cents per bushel. If the transporta
tion rate per bushel from the shipping
towns in Palouse territory to Tacoma
was not over 8 cents per bushel, which
would bo ample to enable the transpor
tation companies to earn dividends, the
soft wheats grown in that region would
bo laid down in England for about GO
cents per bushel. And the day when
this will be done is plainly in sight.
11 THE PUG-NOSED GIRL.
Tricotrin Pronounces Her a Tiling; c I
Beauty :tml v Joy Forever.
Ido remember mo, in these faint air
weary days, of the youth of my spirit, vriid
I wandered fancy free through such work
as those of the mortal Junius Hen:
Browne, writes Tricotrin in l'wk. Ami
do, moreover, remember me of a remark o
his which went thus: "Her nose wai
divine inasmuch as it pointed toward
Heaven." Whereat I was wont to luu^h.
knowing that thereby did Browne signify i;
pug-nosed girl with large gray eyes and:
sunburst of ambrosial curls that tilled tht
earth with white horses.
Now that the sandpaper of adversity has
scraped the gloss oft' my youth, and ex
posed beneath the varnish some of the cheat >
ness of the natural material, I laurrh not at
the pug-nosed girl. I smile at her. Tor.
verily, I do conceive that she U a thing of
beauty and a joy forever.
But, alas! the philosophers arc not witfi
me. Authorities on personal beauty, from
Winckelmanu to Henry T. Finck, say that
a nose should be straight. Brother Finck
says that the Greelc artists, who made
straight noses, took their idea of the divine
nose from the contours of childhood. Their
gods and goddesses possessed no cavity at
the root of the nose, and this, quoth Finck,
is characteristic of youth. " Later hi life,"
ho continues, "these cavities (brain cavi
ties) bulge forward and produce the hollow,
which is, therefore, an indication of superior
cranial development and higher intellectual
powers. Hence, as Prof. Kollimmn sug
(tests, the object of the Greek artists' in
making the nose of their deities form a
straight line with the forehead was prob
ably to give them tho stamp of eternal
youth."
But why should n straight line be beauti
ful in the midst of the gracious contours of
the human face! Tho curvilinear prospect
is that which wholly inspires the artistic
mind. Does not even a small boy, even one
who has but one eye, and sees but one-h:;!f
the glory of nature, rejoice more in the
curves of a dog's tail, a velocipede, a he
goat, a mince pie, a foot-ball, a marble, a
tilver quarter, or what not, than in the
square of the hypothonuiie or the iustruet
or's ruler?
Ami what is a smrvll boy, with nnkept
hair and freckled cheeks, with soven warts
upon Ills hands and tho essence of joy i:i
his heart, but tho Incarnate spirit ot eternal
youth, not yet jangled out of tune by the
shadow of ago and tho inevitable wrestling
for the wherewithal? Docs he bite his lip:
if the world grows old and kingdoms fail, ii
commerce vanishes into "trackless, blue
immensity, " and tho tariff swells like the
shadow of doom, if tho school keeps or not:
These things show that there are both
beauty and eternal love in curves, and
argue that the Greek artists did not weil
when they made foreheads and noses oi
their gods run into one another in a straight
line.
Better is the mild and gentle hollow at the
root of the nose, and better still tl>e wide
and deep excavation on the upper surface
o£ the organ of smell, which gives it the as
piration of divinity, according to the im
mortal Browne.
Moreover, if the girl with a straight nose
obeys the time-worii injunction and follows
it, whither will she tend' Surely around
and around the earth on a parallel of lat
itude, a meridian of longitude, or, what is
more, difficult of navigation, a rhumb-line.
But if the girl with thQ pug nose follows it,
she goes as straight to Heaven as smoke on
a windless day.
It may be that my more conventional
friends and fellow-citizens will laugh at me
for loving a versatile n.se. Yet I have thus
much merit: I do not iove tho prehensile
nose of the tribes that refused to be lost.
These nose 3 aro tho antipodes of the inno
cent and heavenward pug, which is dear to
mine eyes.
And lastly, brother—let me whisper tliir.
softly, with an accompaniment of low musk
—the pug nose interferes not with the di
vine institution of osculation. It is benefi
cently turned upward out of the way. and
leaves the lips free and undefended, so that
you may impress thereon a salute, a f ricudly.
touch or a slow print of love.
Sonny, this is where the pu<?-nosed girl
has the everlasting buljre, on her sisters.
