to Stamp It Out .
KILLED BY A CALIFORNIA JUDGE.
The Defendant in a Suit Shot by the
Judge in the Case.
MORMONS AT WORK IX RUSSIA,
The Government Has Determined to
Drive Them OutHe is Fmld,
to Stay Away.
London, Nov. 12. Today's advices
from Rio Grande Do Sul give the rea
sons for the secession of that province.
One ih that, owing to the distance of the
province from Rio Janeiro, its interests
do not attract the attention they de
serve. Another is that the state prefers
to govern itself, and does not agree with
the general policy of guiding affairs at
the north. Da Fonseca is, all r amors to
the contrary, notwitbstandiag, in ap
parently good health, and able to make
a - vigorous campaign. It is reported in
Monte Video that Da Fonseca has de
clared his positive resolution to put
down the rebellion in the south, and to
employ, if need be, every able-bodied
. man within reach of his authority. The
dictator has abolished exemption from
military service, which heretofore could
be purchased in Brazil. Hereafter rich
and poor will have to take their turns in
the army, which is being rapidly in
creased. The army is more efficient
than it was nnder the empire, and the
navy has also been strengthened.
There is every prospect, therefore, of a
protracted struggle, should Rio Grande
Do Sul persist in its determination to
secede.
A private telegram received is to the
ffect that Rio Grande Do Sul is now
entirelv in the hands of the seceders
from the dictatorship of Da Fonseaa
.The dispatch also says the military
nave given snpport to the seceders.

The Defendant in a Suit Shot Dead
the Judge in the Case.
by
Paso Robles, Cal., Nov. 12. Yester
day afternoon A. M. Sherwood met
Judge John Kelshaw upon the street
and inquired about the charge that had
been examined before Kelshaw and a
Jury, in which Sherwood was defendant,
the jury having disagreed. Judge Kel
shaw told him that he did not know
that it all lay with the prosecuting wit-
messes, but that he doped the jury would
'be dismissed. Sherwood said he hoped
not, as he wanted to be tried and ac
quitted. He then commenced to call
the judge names and said that he had
endeavored to rake up cases against him.
Kelshaw denied the charge, and one
-word brought on another nntil Sher
wood struck Kelshaw with a screw
driver, which he had in bis hand, and
Kelshaw backed off and attempted to
get away but Sherwood caught hold of
him. Kelshaw then drew a revolver
and shot Sherwood three times, one ball
enteiing the bodj near the heart. The
combatants struggled for a few minutes
before Sherwood loosened his grasp and
fell. Popular opinion is that Kelshaw
acted in self-defense.

GREATEST COUNTRY IN
THE WOULD.
A well known mining expert recently
read a paper at a meetingof mining men
in Portland in which he claimed that we
have in Oregon all the minerals known
to ecience except a few of the most rare.
of which, so far no evidence has been
found. There is gold, silver, nickel,
cinnabar, iron, lead, copper, and etc., on
to the end of the list. To the metals
may be added marble, freestone, lime,
asbestos, roofing slate, fine clay, paint
clay, cement and so on also to the end.
We have four distinct Coeur d, Alenes in
the Cascade Range between Portland
and Cottage Grove all tributary to Port
land and which would make her nearly
as large as San Francisco in five years if
the mines of Clackamas, Santiam Blue
River and Bohemia were fully developed
and thoroughly worked. We have nine
different varieties of marble in Oregon
from pure white to jet black which in
bep.uty and purity equal anything that
Italy or Belgium ever produced. The
same writer claims that we have the
richest and most extensive nickel mines
yet found in the world. A government
expert has valued the ore at 20 cents a
pound, yet the Rothschilds of London
who control the nickel market of the
world send their ships to Now Caledonia,
an island a thousand miles beyond Aus
tralia and ship ore to England that pays
on'y three to five cents a pound. As
regards coal, the writer says : "It is the
most marvelous of our mineral wealth
in extent and excellence, unequelled in
the history of the world. Coos Bay
alone has 400 square miles of continuous,
unbroken coal beds all of which can be
shipped to market by water. Finally
the writer winds up a -remarkable
article with the following:
I hold that Ore eon is as far ahead of
otner countries in mineral wealth as she
is in agricultural, timber and other
sources of natural wealth, that insure
prosperity to a community and happi
ness to the individual. In the face of
the facts I have presented, would it not
therefore be wiser in all of us living by
that wealth to whoop up Oreeon. and let
other countries 'alone to whoop up
themselves? .

The Salem Journal savs : "Land suit

The pioas editor of the Journal mast
have a singular forgetfulness of his early
training when he does not remember
that the only mere man that ever went
to heaven at all went by the way that
he seems to decry. Elijah went np to
heaven in a whirlwind and the incon
venience of a little sand on the way
made the end of the journey all the
sweeter. We're going to heaven by the
good old way, Brother Holler, but alas
for the Webfooter, who, even by the con
fession of the J6urnalx has a "habit of
staying where he is planted."
The ablest and most carefully pre
pared forwarning to the farmers of the
imminent dangers that threaten their
alliance, under the leadership of un
scrupulous politicans, is trie forthcoming
article of SenatorJJohn T. Morgan in the
Novembrr Forum. The senator says :
It is a melancholy thought the pure
purposes and principles of the Farmer's
alliance should be thus abused by sel
fish politicians who have crept into its
secret counsels. There was nothing
wrong or unjust, unpatriotic or unwise,
in the organization as it was orginally
established. Neither was it weak in its
influence or publicy policy. It was a
powerful organization for political resis
tance to political wrong and nnjustice.
It was inspired with the thought in
which the higher liberties of the people
have often had their birth the redress
of grievances. It was made necessary
as a means of resistance to legalized
monopoly, to legalized tax robbery, to
trusts that sprang np everywhere to
choke down business rivalry and honest
competition, and to the accumulated
advantages' given to corpoiations and
great combines by the legislation of the
country. It was the first grand effort of
the farmers to combine in resistance to
others who bad combined for aggression
upom them ; and its failure, if it is des
troyed by misplaced confidence in its
political leaders, will result in -weakening,
if not in dissipating, an influence
that would otherwise have blest the
country. The sincere defenders of . the
people against the aggressions of mono
poly, trusts and combines, armed with
the control of taxation and finance, will
miss the powerful support of the alliance
when its noble mission has been de
graded into a disreputable hunt after
office.

The Salem Journal says:
The first thing the new reform council
of Baker City did was to vote themselves
$60 a piece for services rendered the past
year.
The Journal is mistaken. It was the
old council that voted this salary grab.
The new will surely do be ter and it
cannot possibly do worse.

The English law relating to oysters is
somewhat puzzling. From the 14th of
May to the 14th of August is a close sea
son for "natives." Under these cir
cumstances a Mr. Williamson, a well
known English oyster dealer, imported
French oysters which he laid in his beds
for a while to fatten, and then sold. He
claimed that his oysters were still for
eign and the sale of foreign oysters
allowed. The law however is not with
him. A friendly case has just been
brought out in the courts where Wil
uatnson was fined a penny. The oyster.
in view of British law, is a naturalized
subject the moment he is laid in a Brit
ish bed. Though like Gilbert's sailor.
He might huve been a Roosbian,
A Frenchman, Turk or Prooshlan.
he becomes a full grown British bivalve
if he is allowed any time to improve
after importation.
The Polk county alliance recently
passed resolutions in favor of the aboli
tion of the state railway commissisn the
fish commission the sheep commission
and the office of attorney'general. They
demand that all nominees for legisla
tive honors shall pledge themselves
oppose all appropriations for pnblic
roads or bridges, they demand the low,
ering of thesalaries of all public officials
to a liberal business rate and oppose the
hiring of .legislative committee clerks or
any pritense whatever. The Oregon
legislature may have been accustomed
to employ too many committee clerks
but just how the various committees are
going to do without any clerks "what
ever" these good brethren of Polk
county do not inform us.
ine Missouri Flat, Josephine countv
alliance, in this state, at a late meeting
atter debating the prohibition question
thoroughly, "almost unanimously'
passed the following resolution : ''Re
solved, that the Missouri Flat Alliance,
No. 211, do hereby recommend to and
demand of the next session of the Ore
gon legislature the passage of an act
making it a misdemeanor for any person
to drink malt or spirituous liquors and
that any one violating said act shall I e
punishable by a fine of 50.'" The
Josephine county fool-killer ought to be
able to find a winter's job among theie
good brethren of Missouri Flat.
The Astorian says: "Portland rail
road capital proposes to spend $300,000
to build the Paul Mohr portage road on
the Washington side of the Columbia.
They don't want a portage road built on
the Oregon side under control of Oregon
laws. That would break the . Union
Pacific monopoly of the Columbia river,
The portage road on the Oregon side is
what the people of Oregon want. The
grip of the plutoerats on Oregon it
broken.

their story as true. It is reported that a
suspicious character was arrested here

tion. . -
