Today's Oregoniun has not a lino ns to what the grand Jury really did find In tho mutter of the grave charges nguinst tho asylum man airenient, and yet it is supposed to be a great, generous, fair and liberal paper! Theudmti titration has practically been foreed to abandon the Wludoiii Silver bill. Washington dispatches, Wednesday, report that the Semite Finance committee are preparing n substitute to bo reported next week. The new bill will be prepared by Sen ator Aiuricn nnu tne senate com tuiltee agree as to its terms. The new bill will place the silver certifi cates on a par with all our currouov, and will bo a free-coinage bill. Good! Oregon is liable to get ?300,000 under the bill to refund to states the money expended by them for war purposes. Tun JouitXAii is Increasing its force of carriers. These live you up men can become a great aid in the success of any paper, and many a great Journalist has graduated from their ranks. They mo the connec tion between the olline and its sub scribers. Persons who did not read the Ma rion county grand jury's report a as printed in the JotmxAi,, should do that body of men the justice to read our report. It is tho only true and correct report piinted. Tun Oregonian has not heard from the Marion county grand jury. It has probubly heard from tho nsy lum. It may lnur from some of its subscribers. UKUllON CLIPS. Weston has un organi.cd a camp of the Sons of Veterans. Tho two United Workmen lodges of Sjlem have about 300 members. Wild and Windsor, the pihontr& who escaped from jail at Union on Monday, are reported still at large. The enmity treasurer of Washing ton county was tho first to return that county's taxes to the slate treas urer. Portland has organized a ballot re form league to push the adoption of the Australian ballot system for Oregon. Stockmen in the hills feel blue over this clear cool weather, with the mercury at the freezing point at night. Jeflersou Review: One of the most spicy papers among our ex changes is the d illy (?APiTAr, Jouit nai.. After a long day's work of turmoil and care, we limit up the Jouknai to read, which imme diately acts as mi antidote far all troubles and care. Pendleton exchange: An inter esting poker game wus played the other night at the Villard house. In one deal one man held four aces, another four kings, another four queens, and another four jac s.

Tho comer's jury in the Scott murder c.ise took testimony in secret sessi.in to-day and nothing could bo had of the sworn testimony of witnesses.

Washington special to the Ore Ionian: Tho enmmittcenu pensions I the other day listened to n speech by it 'preventative Hermann which sounded more like roiuauco thau serious history. It was in behalf of tho pension of Christina Edson form erly Geisei. She was tiuly the heroine of the early OiegonIndian wui s. Tile representative described to the committer how, on the dread ful night of February 22,1853, tho Geisel family were massacred on the Pacific coast, near the mouth of lt)gue river, in Oregon; how the Indians, led by one who Ijtul Iweu employed by the futility, entered' the well-to-do household and struck to death the hu-baud, then, taking captive the mother with iier 14-days-oId infant and little laughter niiu yeirs of age, they proceeded to butcher the three little boys who were sleeping in au ad joining room and how, when each .itllo fellow was led to tho slaughter piteously begging for life, tho ago nizod mother was compelled to witness the awful deed, and then when all was done and the house plundered of its content?, the fur ther sentence was impost d upon her, that of beholdiu g the mansion put to the torch and with the lifeless bo.lics of limb and and chil dren reduced to aghes. and cinders. Then the midnight march of the captives to the Indian village of tho Tn-too-nn In- di.iis was described, nn d how us one dwelling after another was reached the inmites were massacred and their homes put to tho flames. The captivity, the sufferings endured, and tho ransom which followed were told, and how by tho precious information ob tnlm-d from the ran-.-omed women as to tho plans and preparations of tho tilbeslo march on Port Orford and sur prise the in habitants there, timely warning was convoyed to them and that town on the coast savol from destruction, and how, by the simc- Inform uion, the volunteers who were forted up at the mouth of Roue river learned of the on ly wife approach to.the hos tile fortification and by following it, effected un entrance which usulled in the complete vanquishnient of the Indians there and tliu conclusion of hostilities in that portion of Oregon. Tie representative read from alii davits of the present county Judge of Curry county, who was a sur vivor of tho terrible conflicts thi'ie, also from tho statement of the lieutenant who commanded the volunteers when tliey were first at tacked ami repulsed with c nlder able loss of life. It was shown that this Oregon ludy was now in old age ami In reduced oireumstauues mid without any home of hor own, an I it was c intoned that tho horvlovs Huoreudcred, if not thu sulk-rings she bore, should commend her to the nation as one of the most wot thy to receive grateful pension r (.'0,ni t. on in these her declining! days.

Comparative Prices of nu Article of .Wcesslly Why Not Uojcott Coal Oil? On top of the losses sustained by the floods in Oregon, and when busi ness is somewhat depressed and prices of produce low, and a good ninny laboiers and mechanics are out of employment, there has been a sudden advance in the price of an article of necessity. A circular was issued from'tlie central otllce of the Standard Oil Company at Portlaud during the past week, advancing the wholesale and retail piico of kerosene oil to $1.50 for a live gallon can and 3octs per gallon In smaller quantities. The price by the can is shaded a little where a ease of two cans is taken, but tho circular was a pliiin one and dealers will not dale disregard it very much. There is no good reason given for tills rise. Tlie price of other staple necessities of life have not gone up. Oil litis not advanced in the East. I'ho oil wells are not giving out. The use of electric lights is becom ing so geneial in cities and even in good-sized towns all over the nation that the price of oil has con stantly grown cheaper. The greed of the many-million Standard-oil monopoly can alone explain this re markable advance in prices at a time when everyone feels the pres sure of tight times. But the harder the times the more rapacious is the maw of the monopoly. LOOK AT THIS TAX! Look at the prices of oil all over the United StaUrs! Compare, the rates charged In other cities! Then compare this head tax that John Smith, Bill Jones, the editor of the 'ouiiNAL and every person who burns a lamp in Oregon lias to pay. I The price of crude petroleum in rsew York isSl.OG per barrel or two cents per gallon. It is a well-known fact that the residue obtained in manufacturing cnai oil is worth a great deal more than the expense of the process. The expense of relln imr is more tlian met by the huite rials extracted. The pi ice of petroleum In San Francisco is 20 to 23 cents for high guides and 15 to 10 cents pur gallon for low grades of oil. The San Fran cisco retail price is 25 cts. for 175 de gree oil, and 1(13 to 20 cts. per gallon for the 150 degree test, the same oil that the giant monopoly bus dcciced Oregon shall pay 51.50 a can and 35 cts. a gallon for. At Tacoinu t he 175 degree or Ehiiuo brand is 1.35 a can; the Pearl brand, commonly sold here, is the 150 degree oil and is quoted $1.15 a can at Tacoinu. Tho retail price 25 cts. a gallon delivered at 1 lie houses from a tank line. There is no good reason why coal oil should he higher at Salem than Tacouut. Wo are only 52 miles fimii the Union Pacific Tank Line sssteui, yet we are robbed of 10 cents on a gallon and 2-5 to 3i cents on a can In addition to what Tacoinu people pay. At Dcs Moines, Iowa, which is nearly onc-lialf the distance across the continent from tho oil wells, Pearl oil by tho barrel is 0 cts per gallon; Champion 11 cts; Water White (tho very best brand) 12 cts. Tho letail pneo is 12 cts to 15 els Iter gallon, deliveicd at tho house, or nearly the same retail rate that is made at Cleveland, Ohio, where the grout refineries are. We make tliiu point to show Hint in a distance of a ihoutaini miles the letail price is not aflccted by the freight charge. What do these enormous charges cost tho people of Oregon? At a low estimate we find that this late advance In oil will cost the 00,000 families of this state over $500,00:) this year, and that In addition to what tho people ulaudy pay thlA giant monopoly. It must bo re membcred that this Is taken mostly from the pockets of the tollers and the pioducors. The rich tutu docs not feel it so much, or bums gu's or electric light. Pailii John Smith and his f i ow workers, who work for wiuo, has this extraordinary lux put upon him and mint go down into his pbekut ewry week and lork over a share of lis hard uini'iis. to this already glutted niany.jnillloiiod monopoly to enable it to buy un legislatures and seat Its tools in flic United States senate. Here isnehnnccfor tho grangers and anti-nionopolisls and for every honest friend of reform to unite on the braid platform of protecting the people's rights. Tin: Jouiixal stauds witli John Smith and by every man w ho Is robbed by this shameless, soulless monopoly. " cfitcmTTwlitT. Pettyjohn vs. Grant; motion to amend the leport of the referee In the matter of the Northcutt wheat, overruled.
