A FAMILY POISONED One Child Dead and Another Dying. v HELLISH DEED NEAR OREGON CITY Strychnine Found In Barrel of Water ' Used by tbe Heilmana, Blear DamucDi. ' Oeegon City, June 30. Tbe family of "John Heilman, a German farmer re 'aiding about, two miles easterly from Damascus, was poisoned yesterday under circumstances that indicate a dastardly crime baa been committed. Sunday evening Mr. Heilman, as is his custom, drew a barrel of water from ' 'a spring to' the house for family use. Monday morning he rose early, tcok a ' drink of water and went to the barn to do his chores. An attack of nausea soon emptied his stomach, and that was fol lowed by severe cramps tBat compelled him to give up the work he had prom ised to do that day for a neighbor. Mrs. Heilman took water from the bar rel to cook breakfast, and during the preparation of the meal a 22-months-old boy that was toddling about asked for and received a piece of a pancake fresh ly baked,' which he ate. Soon afterward he was seized with vomiting and severe pains, as his father bad been a short time before. At breakfast the father drank only a cup of coffee', after' which he seemed to feel slightly better. Tbe ; mother also sipped a little coffee and partook of nothing else. .The four other children- ate their meal as usual, and soon afterward they manifested the same symptoms their father and little brother had shown. Up to ibis time Mr. and Mrs. Heil - man did not suspect what tbe trouble was or that anything very serious was - the matter, for tbe family had had simi lar attacks at three different times dur ing the past year, and they were attri buted to changes of weather or food. But this time, instead of improving after ". the first sharp illness, the baby grew worse, and toward noon a message was . Bent to a neighbor to go for a doctor. Before the neighbor, Mr. Bohna, could get his team ready and leave for- the doctor, tbe little fellow went into spasms. and died. Tbe condition of the other children was also alarming, and - Dr. Hickman, of , Clackamas, was ' hastily summoned. He saw at once that it was s case of poisoning, and a cursory ei- ", smination of the water barrel showed him there was the eonrcc of mischief, for the insoluble crystals .of strychnine were plainly visible in the barrel, and in such quantity that when it was upset . the alkaloid showed in the trail of tbe water; An' ounce vial that-' had con tained the strychnine was found near by. The doctor gave the patients treat ment in accordance with bis discovery, and three o'f the children are deemed to be out of , danger three girls. The eldest child, a 12-year-old boy, fit last accounts was thought to le dying.' ..' COCKBELL IS FOB BLAND. Be Is Willing, 1 However, o Support Any Surer Candidate. " -' Chicago, June 20. Senator Cockrell - was among today's arrivals. He- is a delegate to the national Democratic con vention, and is here to attend the silver conference. V ' ' ' " "We shall nominate a straight silver man on an unequivocal silver declara tion in the platform," he said, when asked for an expression.- of his views. "I amj of course, for Bland,'' he con tinned, "and our delegation is instruct ed for him, but if we cannot get him we shall get " some other man who is sound on the currency question, and Missouri will support him at the polls. Mr. Bland is a safe, practical man, and it elected would be entirelv reliable as president. There can be no donbta on that score.-I have not, however, de ' voted myself to finding presidential ma , terial, as I have been making sure of a silver majority in the convention. That ' assured, we shall have but little diffi . cnlty in finding an available man for president." " '.,'::: "'."' : The senator thinks the financial tjues . tion will be made the paramount issue . in the platform, and that there will be a square declaration . for tbe mintage of silver on terms of equality with gold at 16 to 1, and witbont awaiting the co-op ; oration of other nations' He. laughs at Mr. Whitney's suggestion of a compro mise,' and says ' it will, not- be. enter tained.; He does " not believe an une quivocal silver "plank will "drive " many Eastern men out.pfr the party, and ar gues 'that, on-.; the. contrary, ft will bring. many votes to the party that cannot bt caught in any other way.-.' , .

' r tj Mri- Charlea NickelL of the Jackson ville Times, and a member of the solid eight Democratic free-silver delegatioi that goes to Chicago to nominate a can didate for president, was in Portland yesterday, says the Oregonian. Mr, Nickell is secretary of the delegation, and, in addition, he claims as .a distinc tive honor that he is the man who pat up the job to have the Oregon delegation to Chicago instructed for free silver. Mr. Nickell left last night, fully de termined; as he put it, "to join with the other Democrats' of tbe country who favor free silver in nominating a man wbo will.be sure to beat McKinley in the presidential race." All that be wants is to concentrate all the free-silver forces on one man, and then he looks for an easy game. Mr. Nickell says he has no personal choice for president but he expects it will be Bland, Morgan or Pennoyer, and he mentions the latter name, with an exceedingly big'' "P. The ' Jackson county delegate bad his pockets crammed with pictures of Port land's new i in ay or, on the reverse are printed some snappy utterances of the ex-governor, giving his political record, where he was born, and : how educated.: It, also refers to bis deter mination only to accept half of his salary as mayor, and winds up with an extract of Pennoyer's famous message to Cleve land, when he told tbe chief executive to mind his own business. " Mr. Nickell takes the Pennoyer presi dential boom to Chicago with him. . If Pennoyer fails in getting the presides tial nomination, then tbe Oregon dele' gation will try for second place on the ticket, and between the two they expect to win.

"What men do yon think would best unite tbe silver forces of tbe country?" "The two men who appear to com mand the confidence of all people alike are Henry M. Teller and Joseph C. Sib' ley." For character and ability, Henry M. Teller is the peer of any statesman in tbe United States. ' His ability is equal to that of any man who has ran for the office of president in the last half-century. He was a Democrat pre vious to the war. Since then, he was a Bepblican until , the St. Louis -conven tion, bince which time he belongs to' no party- . He is an American citizen,-and belongs to the people alike."" yCould the Democrats afford to nomi nate Teller?" : , i "I think they can afford to nominate a man who will insure success.

She fired at Baldwin, but the bullet missed. ;.: : Lillian Ashley was in the witness chair on cross-examination. She testified yes terday that she has never worn her hair crimped. This morning the defense had a picture of her showicg her hair dressed with .crimps of extraordinary , size. Asked if it was her picture Lillian said : "It way be me, but I don't tbink so." At these words Emma Amenda Ashley, a eiater of the plaintiff, rose from her seat carrying a small bag and" walked behind the chair where -"Lucky"- Bald win was sitting. ' From tbe bag she took a revolver which she leveled at Bald win's head, the muzzle being two inches from his skull. She tried to pull . the trigger, but could not and had to n;e both bands. Every one was engrossed with the testimony, and nobody knew Baldwin's danger till "the, report of the pistol was benrd. It had mjesed Bald win's bead and Emma Ashley was trying to fire again, but the pistol did not die ebarge readily. H. A. Unruh, Baldwin's business manager, was the first to grasp the situation, and jumped towards the woman and struck her a violent blow on the wrist and wrested the pistol from her grasp: .
