The prohibitionists will hold a state convention in Portland on the' 28th inst., to nominate a state ticket and to send delegates to the national pro hibition convention, which meets at Indianapolis June 6th.

Those that come early will have the best seats. The "Army-Register" for 1888 shows that nine of the officers of the United States army hail from Oregon. Of these five belong to the infantry, two to the cavalry, one to the artill ery, and one is a general and staff of ficer. A few days ago the house of Andy Rhodes, living at Sand lake, Tilla mook county, was struck by a falling tree, which crashed through the roof. one of the limbs striking the middle ot the bed and smashing it into kind ling wood. The family were not at home at the time. Last Monday Martin Young, who lives at Andrew Johnson's nlaco on Young's river, was cleaning his pis tol, whea the aforesaid was accident ally disoharged, the bullet, as usual, taking effect. It hit him in the calm of the hand, ranging upward through the wrist and forearm, from whence it was deftly extracted yesterday morning. The halt interest swindle and other bunko games in San Francisco are receiving thorough ventilation in a case where Piloher & Hamberg, "real estate men," are charged with swin dling F. M. Parker, a southern Ore gon rancher, out of his land and money. The trick, in this particular ease, was to sell Parker some city property, and after the deed for the property had been drawn up, the word "his" was substituted for "the" in defining the interests and appurte nances in the property sold by Ham berg to Parker, thus making .it a worthless quit-claim deed instead of a deed of sale. Walla Walla Jeurnal: It's strange that we should be so anxions to name the child before it is born and before we know whether it is a boy or a girl; but in questions of creating states these things beoome inevitable. The Union suggests the name of Walla Walla for the new state, but isn't that overdoing the Wallas? How would it sound to direct a letter to the "Editor Walla Walla Journal, Walla Walla City, Walla Walla county, Walla Walla?" No; but like "my own Maryland." let this be the only Wal la and let us name the new state Washington, after the father of his country, or Columbia, the father of our rivers. Tacoma isn't bad, but the first named are better. Such is our tumtnm. The weird play ot "She" was pre sented last night at Ross' opera house ton very large audience. The book has been read so universally that any mention of .the plot is unnecessary. The company carry their own scenery with them and every member of the troupe is entitled to credit for evi dent effort and careful attention to de tail It is hard work to successfully put a play like that on the stage under the most favorable circumstances, and the amount of labor required can only "be appreciated by those who have been there. To-night the play ot "After Dark" will be produced with the same care and fidelity to the out lined plot that marked last evening's performance. It is an intensely in teresting drama, and will doubtless be witnessed by a very large audienoe. Reserved seats nt .the New York Nov elty store. Wanted.

Sullivan left for Liverpool a short time afterward: neither showed much sign of punishment Mitchell's friends are very jubilant over the re- suit ot the light. AWAITING A l'ECISION. Kansas Crrr, March 12. Judge Gresham's decision on the liability of railroads refusing the Burlington frieght is anxiously awaited here by both railroads and men. As an indi cation of the prevailing uneasiness, it may be said that several roads have been refusing, since Saturday after noon, to accept perishable freight, such as live stock, packing house pro ducts, ect. Among these roads were the Santa Fe, Union Pacific and Fort Scott & Gulf. Two days more of this embar go will close down all the packing houses-in the city and throw 15,000 men out of employment. TBOUBIiE FEABED FBOM INDIANS. Winnepeg, March 12. For some weeks alarming reports have been re ceived here from the west that Indi ans are very restless, owing to the neglect of tho government in furnish ing supplies, and that there is serious danger of an uprising unless food is at once forwarded. Mounted police claim to be nre- pared to put down any rovolt, but at tho same time admit that there will be trouble unless immediate atten tion is given. The half-breeds at Batouche are in constant communication with Gabriel Dument in New York and in n recent letter he is understood to have ad vised them to secure food by pillage rather than submit to slow starvation. His people had half a crop of barley this year, but they are obliged to burn it nnd eat it. Settlers in tho Northwest territory are considerably alnrmed. FATAL RAILROAD COLLISION. Chicago, March 12. Passenger train No. 9 on the Pennsylvania rail road collided with a heavy freight train near Huntington this morning and both trains were wrecked. The engineer nnd fireman of the passen ger train instantly were killed and the freight brakeman and the Pullman passengers escaped with a severe shaking up. A severe storm is raging on the mountain and the crew on the freight train was nearly frozen. ANOTTIEK ACCOUNT. Altoona, Pa., March 12. The wreck is simply collossal. The express train was running at a rate of forty mile3 an hour. Three sleepers were mashed to pieces. All the trains are now ten hours late and cannot get through before evening. The injured brakeman has since died and three passengers are reported injured. HUAVr SNOW IN NEW YOBK. New York, March 12. The hard est snow storm of the year i3 raging. At a o ciocir. mere was a foot or oTer on the ground. High winds caused drifts whioh in the upper part of the city are three and four feet high. rathe is also suspended. Thous ands ot passengers are blocked on the elevated roads. The horse cars are entirely unable to move. People who left uptown by the elevated roads are unable to get farther than Eighth street by rail, many of the more ventnresome descended to the street by ladders and walked the rest of the way down town. People in the suburb towns found it almost impossible to reach the city so severe were the drifts. BOUGH IN MICHIGAN TOO. Negaitnee. Mich., Maroh 12.

Sullivan's Supremacy Believed To Be Gene Forever. London, March 11. Harry Mitch ell is spoken ot by everyDoay to-uay as the world's champion. Sullivan is now out of the question, and every body is making mental conjectures as to the extent ot the limitation of the new champion's powers. From the very first blow everybody interested in Sullivan felt that something was wrong how wrong, no one for a moment suspected. John has too much heart. Ho whispered after the fifth round, that he was so much pleased with Mitchell's pluck in show ing fight after all tho delay, that he would fool with him for a round or two. This happy ignorance of the true state of things only lasted till the tenth round. Then the truth of the situation dawned upon even those of the Boston boy's friends most blind. To their credit be it said, they never dreamed of hedging; but the truth was too good even for the Mitchell men to believe, and in a wild hilarious manner they could only screw up courage to back the young one to take punishment for twenty rounds. The fighting was superlatively fair throughout. Somo ardent Sullivan people claimed several times that Mitchell went to grass without being touched, but their claims were over ruled, and more severely by the cham pion than by the referee. Owing to the heavy condition of the ground the fighters seemed, by mutual agree ment not to try to fall, and when af ter a rally they closed they separated. When, at the close of the thirty- second round, tho rnin ceased to. fall, the faces of Ash to a, Barnett and Phillips brightened. They thought that tho tide of the champion's for tune would surely turn. It had reached the lowest ebb, and John did come up again but to no purpose. itound and round the heavy ring, which now resembled a pig-sty, Sul livan chased his nimble-footed antag onist, but never reaching him, then, when baffled, breathless, and almost inert, he stood glaring gloomily, Mitchell would make a turn and smash at Sullivan's ribs, generally successfully. The men in Mitchell's corner were wild with delight. All the while the Americans were backing up their man with money and giving odds to cheer the old cham pion. Tho long, weary tramp, tramp of the thirty-sixth, thirty-seventh nnd thirty-eighth ronnds, with tho weak ness of both parties becoming more apparent, terminated with Sullivan's discomfiture, and a drawn battlo in the thirty-ninth round. In no sense was it a Waterloo. The battle was certainly what Gettysbnrg was to Leo's army, a repulse which broko the backbone of resistance. When the battle was over, the Ameri cans awoke from their stupor, rubbed their eyps and could not believe it true. Phillips ran at Blacklook with a bottle with the evident intention of breaking the lattcr's head tor having advanced a draw proposition, but Phillips fortunately came to his senses before any damage was done, while poor Sullivan sat mute and speech less, and stayed in his corner. Hu manitarian views apart, tho draw was the best thing that could have been determined on. Two hours more of fighting would not have brought the affair any closer to a decided result. Both men being exhausted, the drnw was a logical conclusion. Mitchell's blows were qniok, but puny as a baby's, while Sullivan stalked around, u mero shadow of what he was, like Banquo's ghost. The secret is now in everyone's mouth that Sullivan's fighting days aro fin ished. Something gave way during the fight no one knows what and the champion of yesterday is the ex champion of to-day. The number of hard fights had told their tale, and the champion in a moment lost his sway and saw his slugging supremacy slip from his grasp forever. Give Credit Where Credit Is Dne. Astobja, Oregon, March 12, '88. Editor Astebian: In a recent issue of the Oregonian Mr. O. F. Paxton is credited with having engineered the case of the city of Astoria vs. J. W. Babbage through the courts. This was the case arising under a city ordinance, providing that tho harbor master should move all vessels in the harbor and making it a misdemeanor for any other person to do so. Judge Bowl- by and Mr. U. W. Fulton ot this place, and not Mr. Paxton eugineered that case through the courts. (Ore gonian please copy.) A. Communicated. Portland, Nov. 2G, 1SS7. My Dear Mb.

The American Grocer. Feb. 29th. reports the New York salmon market aaroiiews: "Manyot the Columbia river packers are finding it verv diffi cult to get commission merchants to make advances. There have heen sales of 5.000 cases of BnrlnllAl'A nt l.6o for export, and 10.000 cases of flat tins at 31.70, Devlin's pack for export. B. Gollin & Sons writes under date at Liverpool of Feb. 18 as follows; "The activity recently displayed has oeen may maintained since our last, and if it continues for another week we shall see no 1837 Columbia river pack under 30s. for at present there is only a very limited quantity at 29s per case. The only holders are Messrs. Felling, Stanley & Co., and tueir siock or Columbia river pack does not amount to 30.000 cases. The San Francisco Hernia, rtf ruue oi me otn inst, says; "The market to an outsider is decidely muddled. There are all kinds of ru mors afloat and to tell whioh is which or "tother" from "tother" would take an expert who is presumably on the inside. We saw actual telegrams re ceived the past week from reliable houses in New York that are far from satisfactory to tho selling interests. They affirm that there is no sale for Columbia river fish at over S1.C0 1 C2 f. o. b. on the river and for Alaska at over 31.25 in oar load par cels in San Francisco. They state that the trade believe that a lower range of values will obtain later on in the season for all kinds of salmon on this coast and therefore they will not contract for futures except at lower prices, preferring to wait the result ot the pack. They also say that if high prices must be paid they prefer doing so when the consumptive demand sets in. A firm in this city state that thev have sold in blocks ot from 1,000 cases up to :j,uuu cases their uolumbia river pack, but the price is private. They placed their brand mostly with east ern houses that have handled it for years, and built up a trado taking tnnt brand in preference to others, even paying nn advance on current market quotations. The same remarks undoubtedly apply to other well and favorably known brands. Regarding the Alaska pack we aro informed of sales as high 83 31.40 for small par cels of well and favorably known brands, while for a round parcel an offer of 31.30 wa3 refused. When our informant was advised that 31.25 was the best bid from New York, ho claimed that without doubt it was for nnkno.wn brands, of which there will be at least fifteen this year, for those who have been in business for years and have an established trade sell at an advance, over new brands and also those to bo put on the mar ket. At tho best the market is in a very unsatisfactory condition, and if buyers hold off, only buy in a small hand-to-mouth way, thero is no possi bility of keeping values up if the pack of the coast is large and outside brands are forced upon the market. Tho endorsement ot German Syrup is unparalelled. We will pub lish 1000 testimonials received during the last six months. Head them. May save your life. Bublinoham, jS, Y., May 31,'S6. G. G. Green, Dear sir: I am fre quently troubled with severe colds, and the only remedy that will relieve me ot them'is yonrJioschee's German Syrup. I have used it for more than 12 years, it is a constant household companion with me. Our merchant here procured it first at my solicita tion, nnd says he has sold a great many bottles. It is a very popular remedy in this section. Every per son who has nsed it speaks in the highest terms of its merits. I do not know of a single case it has not cured. I first used it in Vermont, where I lived before coming here. I advise everyone to use it, as it is cer tainly tho best cough medicine 1 have ever known. I have tried nearly all of them at different times. Yours respectfully, MOSES GRAY, Proprietor Grist Mill. The Trouble With Leap Year. Leap year is not likely to bring about many marriage engagements. Of course it is all folly to suppose that girls will propose that is a li belous little fiction invented by a cer tain class of writers and they won't dare to accept the proposals of the men for fear tho world will think they really did propose. It's a trying sit uation and we don t wonder the girls hail its coming with dread. Their Business Booming. Probably no ono thing has caused such a general revival ot trado at John Dement's Druu Storo as his giv ing away to his customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption.
