Mr. David T. Williams, a gentle man who has had much experience in tho management of steam laun dries, is in Salem aud has to-day completed arrangements for the cs. tablishment of such an institution in our city. To say that is a "long felt want" would but faintly convey the idea. Tho Chinese wash houses have seen their day in our fair city, and it is biita rcilection of a univer sal thought when we say that Mr. Williams will receivo the hearty support of our entire city. Burst tho trust ! let improvement step forward. The Witness Disappeared. Saturday J. A.

Two of the five members of tho Utah Commission have filed with the secretary of tho interior a minor ity report of the commission. Their report gives a very favorable account of tho progress made during tho year in tho work of reform, and says that there Is a decided and rapidly Increasing disposition on the part of the Mormons to abandon polygamy and to yield obedienco to the law. The commissioners beliovo that the Mormons have come to tho deliberate conclusion that further resistance is useless. They think that no further legislation restrictive of tho political rights of tho Mor mons is needed. They comment upon tho tendency manifested to turn the crusade from polygamy against the Mormon church and Its government, and express themselves as being opposed to such a course, and favor tho punishment of crimi nal oflenses, but not leligious creeds. The recommendation made last vear in the minority report is renew ed that an amendment to tho con stitution of the United States bo adopted prohibiting tho institution or practice of polygamy in any form in the States or Territories or other places over which tho United States has Jurisdiction.

IX A FIT OF WILD INSANITY He Sends Two Ballots Crashing Through His Drain. Yesterday morning tho residents of Silverton and vicinity, were thrown into a wild state of excite ment by the report that John Heinz of Garfield precinct HAD KILLED HIMSELF. Scarcely before tho soil had settled over the lifeless body of R. L. Mil ster, and lacking only about four hours of being one week after that gentleman ended his existence, tho community was called upon to listen to the details of n self-murder more shocking if possible, than the first. A Journal reporter heard tho announcement of tho self destruc tion and in company with Assessor A. F. Blackcrby started for the SCEXK OF THE SUICIDE. Arriving nt tho Heinz house, in Garfield precinct, six miles from Silverton, it was found that Coroner D. C. Byland had arrived. Imme diately ho empaneled a jury and began the Inquest. Tho first witness called was Mrs. Heinz, tho wife of the deceased, who testified aa follews: Mr. Heinz had been complaining about feeling uuwell for the past three or four years, aud had been under the doctors care; lie had re peatedly said that he intended to kill himself, nnd on ono occasion remarked that he would kill her and then take his own life, as there was nothing but misery in this world for him and that sho was injuring herself by working too hard, and if they were both dead and in another world they could be happy together. That on Saturday evening ho had read an account of the suicide of R, L. Milster in tho Capital Journal and made the remark that HE WOULD HE THE NEXT TO GO. On Sunday morning they both arose about tho same line, aud af ter she had made a fire in the cook ing stove, asked him to coino and get warm, but ho went out doors without saying a word. Shortly aferwards she followed and found him standing in tho door of the graunry, which is located a short dis tance from the house, holding in his hand a pistol, whicli belonged to ono of tho bojv. She asked him for the weapon and ho told her it was not loaded, but she insisted on gain ing posscsslou of it, and ho said lie would put it away where the boys could not find it, and stepping upon a b')K made a movement as If to lay the pistol upon a shelf. Sho then stooped down to pick up a piece of rope lying on tho ground at her feet when she was startled by hearing the report of tho weapon, and upon raising up, noticed her husband fall ing over. Sho started to go Into tho granary where ho lay, when ho again RAISED THE PISTOL TO HIS HEAD t And fired. Sho then left tho building screaming for help. Mr. Moser was next called and deposed as follewes: Had been acquainted with de ceased for several years, and had for Rome time past considered him in sane. Had heard him make the remark, "I may sec you pick hops this year but I never will another year, for If I do not dlo a natural dentil I WILL KILL MYSELF." Several other witnesses wore called but nothing of Importance was elicited. After a few romurks by tho coronor tho case was submitted to tho jury who ruturned THE VOLIiOWl.NO VHUDICT: We, the undersigned, empaneled by the coronor of Marion county, to Inquire into the death of John Holnz, find that he otnno to his donth from a gun hot wound in flicted by his own hands. C. D. Hautman, W. M. MOHKIt, IlKNItV DALKY, J. H. "WlIITLOCK, W! KlSKKHART, J. G. Moonic. Mr. Heinz was born In Germany and emig rated to tho United BUte when eighteen years of age and M)t tied In Wkounsiu. He enlbtted in the First Wisconsin volunteers, and served through tlte war. He moved to Oregon in 1ST and purrlwsed a farm In the Garfield itraclnet, A miles from HUverHw, where he lias aim redded. He wax a mend of the Silverton Jt of the Grand Army of the Republic He has been considered out of his head for sever al years, but has been closely watch ed, ond until tills morning, has nev er attempted to do himself injury- The weapon with which ho ended his life was an old stylo five cham ber, 82 caliber "Leader" revolver, which contained four cartridges. The first cartridge exploded was what is known as a "short range," and entering his forehead, about ono Inch above the right eye, was fiat tenedout against tho skull. This shot must havo rendered him sense less nnd he fell to the lloor, but in a few seconds recovered and ngnln placing the weapon against tho cen ter of his forehead, explodeda "long range" cartridge and this time the ball went crashing through his brain. Deceased was 49 years of ago and leaves his family In good circum stances. OCCIDENTAL JOTTINGS. Xows And Xotos of a General In terest to the Westerner. In Clatson eountv tho ten heaviest taxpayers pay on a total assessment of $477,757. A ride over tho hills of Polk coun ty, in these fall days, Is a delightful tumg to taue. Tho ten heaviest taxnavers of Douglas county pay on a total assess ment of ?072,370, The Hlllsboro eo-oneratlvo com pany sold over ten tons of binding twine this summer. Tho rumor that there would bo another democratic paper started in Eugcno was entirely unfounded. In thy next Oregon lecislature tho democrats have eighteen members, and the republicans seventy-two. A Union county man is crafting pine cuttings into an applo tree, and is already boasting about his ap proaching crop of pine apples. Tho farmers of tho Willamette valloy have not for years had so much money In their pockets aud such broad smiles on their faces. The strict enforcement of tho dog tax law In Albany promises to materially diminish the supply of worthless canines about that city. Tho largest number of insane persons ever coullned In Oregon are now under treatment at tho state lnsano asylum here. Tho total now Is 601). An Independence couplo soveral years ago tied up $100 in gold in Mg and stuck In an old boot whicli tliL-v buried and forgot about. It was unearthed a few days ago. The ilrst sawmill on Puget sound was built in 1851, cutting about 800 per day; now tho output is closo upon 2,000,000 per day, and tho an nual log output of Puget sound Is 418.000,000 feet. Work on tho O. P. continues to bo pushed with all available forces. Tho track will shortly bo laid to Mills City at the crossing of the Suntiam. The weather has been propitious. Men aro still wanted aud get $2 25 a day. The Oregon Alpine club will pre sent to tho coming legislature a peti tion praying that tho killing of deer out of season bo made n felony. It is to be hoped that tho legislature will, If It docs not pass such a law, make more thorough und ullectivo restrictions ngaiunt killing game out of season. Tho Courier Is w Isely urging tho farmers of Josephine county to or ganize a fair association. The coun ty that Is so blessed Is favoied in many ways aside from bringing out the real mciltof the farm annu ally, these fairs allord amusement, recreation, aud a good deal of gen uine information. There Is probably not a town In Southern Oregon that has made moro permanent growth in the past fow years than Grant's Pas. Five years ago the town site, a natural In cline plain at the border of which Hows tlto silvery Itoguo river, was a waving grain field. Now the city lms a live population of 1000, with slniofrtovery branch of buslnowj rep resented.
