Peter Smith, of Caanan, Found Life lees Last Monday. Tbe usually quiet neighborhood of Caanan, this county, was plunged into a tumult of excitement last Monday morning at about 0 o'clock, when Mr. Sam Kinder went to the home of Peter Smith and found that man's dead body suspended by a small rope from a beam in the barn, Mr. Kinder immediately gave the alarm to the neighbors, and be and Charley Olaen, accompanied by Jus lice Splawn, returned to the barn and removed the deid body. The corpse whs taken into tne bouse, where, jn the window, was found a let ter written by Smiih. and directed to Sam Kinder, containing Instructions aa to what be desired to have done with his property, stock, etc. The justice of the peace of that pre cinot Immediately summoned a jury and held an inquest, the verdict of the jury being that Peter Smith came to his death by banging, at bis own hands. The neighbors in that vicinity were not murh surprised at the untimely ending of Peler Smith, sinoe the fact remains that on Sunday laat Charley Olsen was st the house of Peter Smith and the latter expressed himself as be ing tired of life. Mr. Olaen advised the unfortunate fellow lo go to the hospital where he could receive proper treatment, and not until this time did Smith display any particular symp toms of insanity, when he told Mr. Olsen that he could not be cared for at any place, and offered to wager a large amount of money to that effect. After the justice had finished bis labors in regard lo the matter Measrs. Kinder and Olsen came to this city to arrange with the undertaker. The casket and other articles necessary for the burial weie ordered, and arrived here by nighlboat, when Undertaker Newell trimmed the coffin and deliv ered it Tuesday morning, the burial taking place that day in the cemetery at Caanan. The acting coroner, in his examina tion and search of the premises and remains, found upon the person of the deceased $203.00 In cash and aev eral notes for different amounts, tbe total of the notes being about $500. Deceased was unmarried, and bad no relatives on Ibis coast, but the fact was brought to light that bis mother, sister and brother are living some where in Missouri. Deceased was 65 years of age, and no doubt the terrible crime waa done while in a fit of temporary insanity brought on by continued aickness, old age and general despondency. The farm of the deceased is under a very good state of cultivation, and the general prospect for a prosperous ca reer in farming were good for Smith, who bad resided in the Caanan settle ment for several years, and was pretty well known throughout the county. The premises are in the charge of Mr. Kinder, as the letter left by bimtii contained a request lor Mr. Kinder to tske care of tbe stock and see lhat everything about the place was well cared for.

Blshon Dillon snd family passed through our town lait week to assintat acampmect- Ing under direction ol the united ltreinren association, near Mist, The arrival of a boy In tba house of Mr. sad Mrs. James McDonald haa caused its parent to smile and look very well satisfied with the world In general. Mrs. Uriah Keller left on tbe steamer Friday evening for her home near Artoria. Hhe has spent several days here viniting and assisting her mother, Mrs. Nichols. The burning of Zillmsn's shingle mill op tbe Clatskanie adds another item of misfor tune to shingle makers in this vicinity. Ver ily, the shingle manufacturer hath many trials to contend with. C. E. Meaning, of Mist, took tbe steamer Friday evening lor Portland, and expects to seek some additional medical counsel for bin lung trouble. He has been di-sbled for several weeka and does not seem to im prove. The holiday decorations are gradually disappearing from the residences and our city in settling down to ordinary purnuit. while the men generally are helping to get in hay. Plenty o( work now iu the bay fields around here. The coroner's Jury in the explosion affair decided that the part of a body found were those of James Fwk. and that be came to his death by the exploeion that destroyed bis house. They could find nothing to im plicate any other person in tbe matter. J. Allwood, a state official of the order of Good Tampiars, gave free lecture on tera pciance lost Monday evening tbat was lis tened to uy a lair-sizea auuience. ine gen tleman baa quite a pronounced dialect from 'old England," but ia earnest in bis work. Clinton Haines seems to have struck s soft job, judging from the amount of mud he in throwing out of a ditch tbe council is having dug to drain a marsh tbat lias been an eyesore for a long time. Tbe work is necrseary. and we hope Clinton will stick lo it until it is completed. A oumber of members of tbe I. O. O. T. lodge from Stewart creek were over Thurs day evening on a fraternal viilt to the lodge here, and a uleaoant evening was spent in Merrill's hall. Mr. Allwood was present and aided tbe members in lodge work by some authorative instructions. The abandoned shingle mill is going one storv higher and will probably be run with new' lire, and it Is to be hoped with profit, too. It takes tremendously close figuring to make shingles at a profit these days, but W. K. Tichenor is pretty good on figures and thinks be can see bis way through. Edgerton is enlarging his building and Improving about bis premises. He baa had T.

So that life in a largecity is not all tbat some people imagine. DEER ISLAND DOINGS. Miss Alice Vanabell, of Portland, dsugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Enyart, visited her parenta last week for a few days. Sheriff Doan paid this neighborhood a rery pleasant visit last oaiuroay, nn wnno here studied the sawmill of J. M. Arthur A Co., of Portland. .; The Western Union Telegraph Company is replacing their telegraph poles with new ones and are using six-bracket cross-arms instead of tbe four-arm ones now used. Victor Dayet who (he claims) cut eleven logs that scaled 21.040 feet in one-half day in Brock's camp some five or six years ago on a bet of 1 10, has been in this neighbor hood for a few days. , A. A. Merrill was to Portland last Mon day and now sports a one mowing machine, this being the third new machine bought by our neighbors this summer. This does not speak vary favorable for hard times. The Deer Island poultry yard is doing a fine business, and ban 600 young chickens not old enough for market. Mr. T. Sain dan, the proprietor, understands bis busi ness thoroughly, and is meeting with suc cess. He can even tell what gender the egg will hatch. Edwin Merrill hat a fine field of oats which he is harvesting. Muckle Brothers started their binder last Monday. They have quite an acreage to cut. Many others will have considerable grain this fall to harvest. There has been more grain grown here this vear than for many years. Spring grain haa done fairly well but winter grain has not done very well. Rst. M. Judy Intends to preach at the school house here next Sunday at 2 p. m. Tbe Sundsy school is well attended every Sunday without any collection being taken up, and tbe officers intend to run on this plan without collection. If there are any not feeling able to attend on account of the collection, they do not have that excuse now. There Is no one barred out of this Sunday school for color or race or ''pre vious condition of servitude." Peter 8mlth, well known here, and a re spectable citiaen, committed suicide last Monday forenoon by hanging himself in his barn. He was a well.to-do baohelor, and held several minor public offices, being the clerk of Caanan school district at the time of hit death. Hia mind had been leavr ing him for some time, and he finally dis covered that he waa going oraiy and feared that he would be taken to the asylum, and It is believed this drove him to commit the rash act. The sawmill Is In much trouble again and It looks as If it waa going to depart, but not if Mr. Ri'imer can raie tbe necessary bond to keep It. Every body stents to be like the old woman whose husband and the hear was fighting, "dulen't cure who whipped." Keimer claims he hat paid for the mill in full, while J. M. Arthur $ Compxny claim there is still $300 unpaid on a f 750 plant, and that for two yean they have not re ceived any payment, and now they have an opportunity to sell the property to an other party and it appears very likely that they will. , ( A Planner's tsuminendales. Mr. J. W. Venable, of Downey, a pioneer of Los Angjlea county, Cal., says: "Whenever I am troubled with a pain in the stomach or with diar rhoea I use Chamberlain's Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy. I have used it tor years, know it to be a reli able remedy, and recommend it to every one." For sale by Dr. Edwin Rom, drngglit. , . - Awarded .' Hlgheit Honor World' Fair, dold Medal, Midwinter Fair., DEL CREAK1 ream Moat Perfect Made. tp Year the Standard. Rkward for Industby. Tbe abol ishment of scholarships will mark an other era in the advancing prosperity of the Oregon agricultural college, say the Corvallia Gazette. The ma jority of those who attend a mechan ical or agricultural school are students whose purse are light, and a great many have to earn their expenses while attending the college. To those the tuition fee is a considerable mat ter. This will result in a greatly in creased attendance. Tbe state ns hitherto provided seventy free scholar ships, distributed among tbe several counties, but ss tbey were obtained through personal favor and influence and not by competition or merit, it was proper that I hey should be a hoi ihed, or all tuition made free. Over 13000 waa expended for student labor on the college farm lost year, and-lhe board has decided to increase the amount in 1895-6. 8tudente who are industrious and frugal can make their way through college, though they enter practically penniless. Several bright young men walked from Coos county to Corvallis last fall, arriving with hardly a dollar in their pockets. They entered the college and com pleted the year, getting good gradea In Ibeir studies. They went home by Irsin, after commencement, with good clothes on their backi and money in their pockets. But tbey worked and were not fastidious as to the quality of work. Some of them waited on tables, and one cooked and performed house work in a private family. They were not ashamed of honest labor, and their fellow students were not ashan-ed of them. They were among the most popular young men in college. . In such is the material of which men are made. Coroner's Jury Verdict. Following is the verdict of- the cor oner's jury in the case of James Fisk, deceased: , We, the undersigned jurors, sworn to inquire who the person was, and when, where and by what means the person whose remains were found nesr ihe late residence of James Fisk, in Clatskanie precinct, Columbia county, Oregon, came to his death, having carefully considered all the evidence we could procure, and carefully exam' ining the surroundings, are of tbe opinion lhat, first, the remains fonnd were those of James Fisk, of Columbia county, Oregon ; second, that deceased came to his death by an exploeion tbat destroyed the building where he was stopping at the time: tbat said explosion occurred on the evening of 6th day of July, 1895, and that no peison other than the deceased was in bis said residence at tbe time of tbe explosion.
