Feeding thi Duck. It baa be come quite the general custom with market buntora to put feed Ink) lakes where ducks frequent in order that great numbers may become attached to the place. Then after they bare congregated In auffloient numbers the hunter usually enjoys a good day'a hooting. Wheat is the food gener ally used, which is scattered over the mud and sboat water of the lake so that the birda may gather it. The tluoke, however, are becoming educa ted to this, and as one hunter ei- J tressed It, "they come Into the small akea after dark and leave before day light, when they leave and congregate far from shore in the large lakea and stay there all day." It may be retnem bered In this connection that ducks re not geese. SiMOVUB Coincidence. A short time ago tramp by the name of Rhodes, wbo.lt was claimed, had fallen from a freight traio at Qoble, and who waa seriously bruised about the bead auffloient to render him unconscious, was brought or sent to St. Helens from Kslama for treatment, the authorities on the other side claiming tbst aa he was injured la Columbia county this county should take care of him, which was done, until he was able to go to bia people who live at Pendloton. It Is now asserted on what we believe to be good auibority, that the boy was first discovered in bia unconscious condition in a boxcar over at Kalama the neat day after the accident ia sup posed to have happened, and al to bow he got Into the ear no one knows only the unidentified person who placed him there. If this statement ia cor rect we fail to aee what right the Ka lama authorities bad to aend him to Columbia county for treatment. , A Boy Traveler.-Richard Vincent, of New York City, who has been mak ing a tour of the world, arrived in Eu gene, this morning, aaya the Eugene (iuerd of the 8th inet., and will resume his Journey to New York tomorrow morning, on the overlaud, after having apent 24 hours in this city.

Many of them, it ia claimed, from oomlng so far in fresh water and work ing their way over the raoida of Lewi river, were bruised and had treat sores on them, and that the shipment of fish In this condition waa the cause of the cannery refusing to can more, and consequently the parking of dogfish has stopped, at laaat for the nresent. nd we hope for all time. Twisty Years Aao.Just twenty years ago, November 6ih, occurred the wreck of the ateamer Puniflo in the straits near Victoria, In which 273 per sons lost their lives.

TERRIBLE TRIPPLE MURDER Boy Sixteen Years Old Under Arrest for the Grime. A Most Deliberate and Cold Blooded Affair Perpetrated In Linn County. tlROWNsviua, Or. Nov. 19. This after noon about o'clock, at the 8. K. Temple ton farm, tlire miles east of Brownsville, John Montfomsry, his wife and D. B. Mo Kerctier were found dead, having been murdered by unknown parsons. Montgomery was funnd lying on his bark hi tha front yard, near a picket fence, about 20 feet from the house, wllb the top of his head blown on. McKercber was found In the sitting-room, lying on his fsce, wllb a ibot In the left side of the bead, part of tbs kull gone, and with Montgomery's rifle across hi legs, wbsre It had evidently been placed. Mrs. Montgomery was found in ths dining-room, lying on her face, shot In ths back. All bad evidently been killed while flaring Irom the murderer or mur derers. Mo cause for the deed Is known. Excite ment here la Intense. Mo one but the mur dered people were known to be on tb premises at the time tbe tragedy was com muted. Tbe coroner has been notified, but no evidence has yet been tsken. Later Particulars. Bkowksvillb, Or., Nov. 20. Dr. K. A. Jsynes, coroner of Linn county, arrived In this city at 8 a. m., and proceeded to tbe farm of 8. R. Tsmpleton snd Itnpanneled a jury to Investigate the murder of John Montgomery, Mrs. Utile Montgomery and D. B. McKereher. The jury, after bearing tbe evidence, returned a verdict signed by A. Evans, as follows: 'Ws, ths jury, find that John Montgom ery and Lime Montgomery, his wife, and Daniel McKercber cams to their deaths by gun-shot wounds, Inflicted by some other persons than themselves, and, from the evidence offered in the eaae, we bare good reasons to believe tbat Lloyd Montgomery Is ths guilty party." Moyd Montgomery Is under arrest, and a preliminary examination will be held here at 10 a. m. tomorrow. The following facts were brought out be fore tbe Jury; John Montgomery was shot first, while landing at ths picket fence aoras 80 feet from tbe bouse. The unfortunate man was talking and whittling, as fresh cots upon tbe weather (tained fence would indicate, as do also the stick and pockstknlfe found under him. Tbe shot, which with unerr ing aim penetrated bis skull behind and slightly a bore tbe left ear, tore away a large portion of bis besd, his brains eacsplng and falling to tbe ground. The circumstantial evidence adduced at the inquest Indicates that the asssaaln was concealed behind the dwelling-house, from wbicb point the fatal shot was fired. Montgomery, while In tbe set of falling, clutched at the top of a picket, bieaking It oft and dropping It at bis feet. Tbe Indications were that McKercber stood by tbe same fence, in conversation with Montgomery, snd in this position wss bot at, ths ball failing to do great injury, but passing oross tha back of bis neck, mak log a bright scarlet mark. McKercber then ran to ths house, begging for life, but re ceived the second shot in the back of ths head, ust after erosaing tbe threshold of the sitting-room door. The rifle, a 8S-56 caliber, which wai carefully plaoed across ths legs of McKercber, was this morning found by tbe coroner's Jury to be loaded and half-cocked. Upon being picked up It exploded sending a ball through the celling above, showing conclusively tbst none of the murdered people could have used the weapon. A close examination shows thst Mrs. John Montgomery was sbot twice. Instead of once, as ststed In former reports; once In ths forehead and again in the back, just below the left shoulder blade, the latter bullet passing through the heart and chest. Tbs appearancaa indicate that the unfor tunate lady, upon hearing tbe noise of the shooting, atarted from tbe kitchen, on a line with tbe sitting-room door, and, after receiving ths first bullet wound in the bead turned towards the kitchen and was again shot In the back. A rifle was found sgalnst the wall in the bedroom, covered with blood and hair. The gun was Identified as Lloyd Mont gomery's. It was learned from Lloyd Montgomery, who Is 16 years ef aae, thst he was st home yesterday afternoon. He says bis father, John Montgomery, sent him after a bone out In the pasture, 10 or 13 minutes before the shooting, and that be did not return until after the younger children came back from school and found the desd bodies. Lloyd seems to be the only person who Is known to havs been oa the place when the shooting occurred. He told Charles Mc Dowell yesterday that be picked tbe gun up from the floor and placed It across Mo- Kercher's legs. Today In bis testimony be partly acknowledged that he placed the Kim upon McKercher's body in the posi tion found. The bodies were found by Montgomery's younger children when they returned from school, about 4 o'olock, a few minutes after the shooting. Tbey called In Or. J. F. Henry, who was passing, and be gave tbe alarm. The news spresd with great rapid ity, and within two hours people had gath ered at the scene of the murder from nil neighboring points. A messenger was dis patched to Brownsville with tbe news, out when he arrived he was so excited he eould not tell an intelligent story. Real Estate Transfers. , run f!nl and husband to L. L.

A FRATERNAL VISIT. Which waa Attended by Both Joys nd Displeasures. Thursday evening, a week ago ssversl of the members of Avon lodge, Knights of Pythias, of this place, paid Kalama lodge a fraternal visit, among those attending being J as. Sheldon, VV. B. Dillard, J. R. Beegle, Jas. Muckle, Jas. Cox, Chas. Doan, Cbas. Blaki.'slcy, Win. Resimeus, Dr. E. Ross, Dr. H, K. Cliff. T, J. Cleeton, Frank Dow, J. O. Wstta. N. A. Perry, D. J. Bwltser, W. A. Harris, M. C. Gray and D. Davis. Ons of tbe small but commodious river steamers had bom chartered for tbe trip, and the excursion party left this place about 7 o'clock in the evening, and tbe trip was mads to Kalama with no particular dif ficulty, save that of tearing away a part of tbe Dser island jetty. At abaut 8 o'clock ths steamer's whistle was tied don, soms of the boys ssld for tbe purpose of notifying the steamer Philadelphia, wbicb was expected to bs coming up the river, to get out of our way, ond If necessary, give up the river, for we certainly needed all the room there was. It wss afterward dis covered that a number of gentlemen of the sir Knight order were awaiting tbe arrival of tbe boat at Kalama and this mssns was resorted to In order that tbey might know tbat the boat was in the river somswbere shove that city. After soms uncertain nav igating we arrived at tbe Kalama wharf, and were enthusiastically welcomed, when we proceeded in a body to the palatial cas tle bsll of Kalama lodga, where we wit nessed ludge work lit two ranks the sec ond sad third. Tbe time occupied at this proceeding wss about three hours, but could bs ve been accomplished in much less time but the rat and snake were a little stubborn, benee the delay. Anyhow, tbe goat gave up tbe task, and admitted tbe candidate to membership In tbe lodge at 12 o'clock. Mr. Jacobs, tbe efficient com mander of tbat lodge, told the visitors and brethren to fall Into line and follow him, which we did; and to our surprise be took us to the city restaurant, where had been prepared a most sumptuous supper, and it goes without ssying that all did justice to tbe meal but not to themselves. Several toasts were responded to. and tbe crowd thought Itself sbjut ready to leave tbe room when It was discovered tbat Newton Perry, after eating alx dozen Saddlerock oysters, meat, cake and pie in equal pro portions, was on the Boor, under the table, In a lively contest with two large oysters. trying to lasso them for use later in the morning. Mewton explained tbat tbe weather was quite thick and he might need several meals before he got home. Tbe steamer left Kalama at 1 o'clock In tbe morning, besded for St. Helens, but tbs time of proceeding was limited to a few minutes owing to peculiar meteorological conditions over which the crowd seemed to have no perceptible control, and soon we fouod ourselves over in Deer island slough, looking for "Bill" Council's creamery. We suddenly changed our minds about want ing to come home, and the entire list of passengers got out and turned the steamer into Connell's cow corral, and we all felt much more pleased sod nearer our sphere, and where we thought it best tq remain un til daylight, at least. About 5 o'clock In tbe morning some supernatural influence was brought to bear and atmospheric con ditions changed, so that tbe homeward journey was resumed, and at about 8 o'clock Friday morning we reached our destination, and everybody felt relieved, except, possibly, three or four at the boys who thought they could mske better time by walking, reached this place about 15 minutes ahead of the steamer. 8CAPPOOSE.

Dolman atopped over one day at Salem to examine into the con dition of the State Insurance Com pany and another day at Portland to arrange for reinsuring in the Home Mutual Insurance Company, of which company he was for several years the St. Helens agent, and has consented to again act aa their agent for this town and the oounty at large. In a few days Mr. Dolman will be able to impart full information to tbe policy holders in the State Insurance Company and the basis and rebates on which policies would be taken up and reinsurance made in the Home Mutual Insurance Company. Mr. Dolman ia of the opinion that the State Insurance Company's failure re sulted from two principal causes, via: Large dividenda in the good timea left too small a reserve fund, and many risks were insured at above actual val uation when taken, making it often profitable for the insured to let the properly burn. By over valuation the State Insurance Company accumu lated a good deal of money and paid it out in dividenda to stockholders. But whtin hard timea came and con tinned, eveu the excellent manage ment of Mr. Edmond C. Oiltner could not tide over the fortunes of a com pany that bad been conducted only on a good-times basis.
