Troth Well l'nt.
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.

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.

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. The partic
ulars as near as could be ascertained
are as follew:
It. Ii. Milster, deceased, was sixty
years of age last May, and has lived
in this county thirty -i wo years. He
owned a farm three miles north of
Sliverton where he has resided with
his family until about a year and a

town. For the past four years Mr.
Milster has
SHOWN SICIXS OK INSANITY,
and has several times threatened to
take his own life and that of dttler
ent members of his family. 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

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

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
