Our veteran fellow townsman, Thomas Logau, speaks highly of the recepliqu which met him at Sa lem on his recent official visit to the capital. Ho was the guest of the state oHlccrs at the asylum and peni tentiary, and while ho saw many things of a kind to tjnich man's susceptible nature in dud around those institutions, the kindness of those having the poor i nfortunates in chargo was one of th most grati fying of all olwcrvnflo . Persons having friends in elthei place may rest assured that they anVttentivcly provided for. Astoria T&nscript. Their Ilnslnf Probably no one such a general rov Dr. II.

Every twttlo Is warranted. The Comlae Wliter. That animated old fossil "the oldest inhabitant" who has been observing the weather of Oregon for me past tew uunureu years, says present indications point to a desira ble winter. He says he has always noticed that when it rains lato in the spring and there is considerable precipitation even in June and July as was the case this season that the following winter has less rain than usual. There will be plenty however. He goes on to say that the crops following sucli a winter are unusually large. Wo trust for tho sake of his reputation and tho country's good the weather-wiso old gentleman is correct. . Humor Denied. At Dallas a faint rumor of small pox having broken out In some Sa lem school was heard yesterday, but no one coma tell now tho rumor 'originated, us it had not reached there by telegram, mail, stago or newspaper. Again does it become our duty and pleasure to emphati cally deny that there is or has been any smallpox in Salem. Tho one case of varioloid is tho sum total, and Mulligan, tho sick man has al most thoroughly recovered. t Contented to Stay Here. J. C. Scott, who lives about four miles northwest of town, recently returned from a visit to tho east. He has been awayabout six months, spending the time in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Iowa and other states. Iittt to say thatho is dissatisfied with Oregon, lovely Oregon, would bo something greatly at variance with tho truth. Eugene Register. The Lane County Fair.

Sunday morning, as people wore returniug from ohureh, they were startled by the report that 11. L. Milster, an old and respected oitiwm had taken his own lifts.

About one year ago lie was taken before the examiners of the asylum at Sal em but was discharged, theevidonco being deemed not sufficient to war rant Ills being committed to tho in- sano asylum. Since then nothing has happened to give his faintly or friends much uneasiness. Saturday afternoon he wont out to his farm and returned in the evening, bring ing with him an old MUZZIiK LOADING IIIVM3 anddcposltlng It in his barn. Sat urday evening lie went to Cooledge & MuCluin's bank and asked for several notes that he had deposited there for safe keeping,. Later in the evening he returned to the bank and placed $140 to his credit, Inform ing the casltier tliat lie had received payment on two of his notes. He also went home and gave his wife $105. Early Sunday morning ho was seen looking over a pllo of old iron opposite ills residence and informed u person who happened to bo near that he was searching for a rod with which 'ixi ci.i:an his oun. After finding what ho was in search of, he reltti'ied home. After breakfast his wife told him shcand the childieu would like to go nfew miles into the country to visit friends and was told to go by all means, and as it was Sunday she might as well stay u few hours. Tho hon-e was hitched up and after u few par ing words the mother audchildum ilcpurtcd, little thinking that when they returned tho husband and father 'U'ould bo in death's co i.ii luniitAci:. Upon returning about 11:80, they unhitched the horso and led him into the stable, when they were startled by finding Mr. Milster lying upon his face on tho fioor, and upon feeling of ids hands found that tlioy were cold. An alarm was immedi ately given, and in a few minutes a Jouiinai. roporte, In company with several dozen citizens of Sliverton hastily rejwired to tho scene of the uicide, and there found evidence of nniost death by a gun wound Inflicted by htsovn hand.
