Bun Ovia by A Tbaib. Last Fri
day evening about 6 o'clock the wast
side passenger train coming into Port
land ran over and killed Miss Louisa
Unratb, aged 19 years. The unfortu
nate girl waa walking on a trestle on
her way borne from down town and
came meeting the train, neither the
engineer nor n reman of which saw her,
and ware unaware of what bad hap
pened until they reached the lower
depot Tha young lady waa still alive
when found by passers by, but died in
a very few minutes, Soma contend
that aba must have been murdered
and placed on tho track for deception,
aince tha body was not seriously
bruised a thing almost Impossible if
she bad been struck by the engine.
Plbxty or Exercise. An exchange
aaya that during the dance season a
girl gets lota of eternise. If you make
a atudy of dancing, you will figure
that an average waits takes a girl over
three qaartera of a mile of the floor; a
aquare dsnce ia good for a half a mile,
and a gallop equala a run of a mile.
Twenty dunces is tho average, you
know ; that is, if tha girl ia uoi a wall
flower. Of the twenty, twelve are
walsea, and you have nine miles;
three are gallops, and that makea
twelve miles; five other dancoa at a
half mile, gives you a total of fifteen
wiles. That ia not counting strolls,
promena-Jea and other tripe. Bo you
see that if a girl aitenda a dance a
week, she gets plenty of exercise.
Could Not Aobee. The Jnry In
the case of A. H. BUkealey vs. Muckle
Bros., tried in the circuit court last
week, oould not agree. The oase
went to trial on Wednesday, and on
Thursday evening was given to the
jury. They were out all night and
came into court Friday morning and
reported that they stood 8 to 4 and
therefore could not agree. Judge Mc
Ginn proceeded to explain to thorn
why they should agree upon a verdict
and after instructing them at length
upon this point, again placed them in
charge of the bailiff for further delib
eration. They returned to the jury
room where they remained until 10
o'clock Friday night, and again re
ported a dissgreemeat, whereupon
they were discharged by the court.
The case will probably come up again
for trial at the May Una.
runnin With Larceny. In Jus
tice Swagcr's court Wednesday Charles
llo.bhart aria on trial on a charge of
larceny. The complaint alleged that
"on January OlD, iouo, unanea ours
WW. willfully and unlaw
fully took, stole and carried away one
double barrel lea enoigun or me tbius
of fiO, the personal property of B. C.
Enyert" It appears tbat Burkhart
has the hunting privilegee on Deer
Island leased, and that on the day
above mentioned ha met a son of B.
O. Enyert hunting on the leased pram
isea and took from him a gun, which
ha turned over to the boy's brother at
W. D. Connell'a place, with lustruo
tions that it be returned to tha owner.
B. 0. JEnyert oama to St. Helena and
swore out a complaint for tha arrest
of Burkhart on the above charge. The
case came on in the justice oourt and
after hearing- the evidence the oourt
discharged the defendant.
Furnished Excitement. A. good
alsed crowd waa attracted to the oourt
house Wednesday to bear tha divorce
oaae of J. W. Cline vs. Maria Oline,
but they were diaappointed. When
the time came to go to trial the plain
tiff could not raise the amount of the
trial fee, whioh the law requires to be
paid in advanoe, and consequently the
oaae waa not properly in oourt and
it waa so decided. At this junoture
tha defendant posted the trial fee
and asked for a dlvoroe, whioh was
granted. Bnt while thia was going on
fiart of the anxtoua crowd, antioipat
og that the testimony of aoma of the
witnesses would be "rich and racy,"
ahowed a willingness to take up a col
lection to pay tha necessary fee that
tha show might go on, bnt aa such pro
ceeding is unusual their better judg
ment prevailed (or their pockets failed)
and the orowd dispersed. The interested
parties to this Interesting divoroe case
ara the parents of thirteen children,
and they seem to have about all been
on hand to take part in trial, hear the
taU Tol wo? presented by "Pa" and M.
and afterward to give their own view
of a domeatlc felioity that was entirely
domeatio. After the esse was dis
missed the female contingent of the
aggregation engaged in a hand to

the first volley tha confliot waa re

Finally the oombattante began to dis

the troubled waters.
TALK OF AN EXTRA SESSION
Many Important Matters for
Consideration.
Opinions Regarding; (ha Hatter Ex
pressed Frankly by Those
Interested.
Balbh , Jsn. 13. Talk of an extra session
of the legislature has beea rile here today.
The brssse was started by Senator Ban
oroft, of Portland. Daring bis short stay
the senator has been advocating the desir
ability of an extra ssssiou. Hs called upon
Governor Lord and expressed his vlsws.
bat msde no forms request. The governor
Intimated tonight that be Is not seriously
considering calling an extra session. Hs
said, however, that the railroad commis
sion might be abolished and some school
snd other appropriations might be repealed
for relief of the taxpayers, bat no definite
object bad bean presented, nor would be
call an extra session without the assurance
that something would be aoeomuHsbed.
Senator Patterson Is reticent, but admits
that the state, oounty and municipal gov
ernmental expenses must eoma to a hard-
times basis. Senator Oesner does not con
sider an extra session advisable. Ex
Speaker Moore thinks nothing oould bs ac
complished by an extra session. In con
nectlon with the extra session talk, distrust
generally in the last legislature la expressed,
Salbm, Or., Jan. H. The extra session
talk has elicited many anoompllroantary
remarks about the legislature as now eon
stitated. One man said today i "I would
not have any confidence In the present leg
islature enttloB down expenses In any way
If every member would sign a written
guarantee." Another business man, well
known among politicians, said: "Certainly,
we need such relief as could be given by an
extra session of the legislators, bnt what
can we expect Look at tha equalisation
board that baa lust adjourned. The mem'
bers of tbat board are about as good as the
members of the legislature, and they bsve
not only just bled the state for 1 10 per day
each, for thirty days, and a. Ueage, but they
bad the brssen effrontery to employ clerks
and vote tbem HO per day each, and a page
3 per day. The Clerks employed cannot
earn over 13 per day at anything else, and
tha employment of a page was simply a
donation. And even the reporters blushed
to give the actual expenses of that board.
Secretary Ooolldge really received 440. . I
believe Coollrige is in sssslon yet."
Representative Craig, from the Waldo
bills, was In Salem today. Mr. Craig does
not feel it Incumbent upon htm to defend
the last session of tha legislator, and be
lieves much good might be done by an
extra session. Before a call la made, he
suggests tbat correspondence be opened up
with the members, and a call made only
upon pledges from each member.
Asskssment Laws Nbbdbd. Mem
bers of the state board of equalisation
have given their viewa as to the need
of Oregon in the matter of assessment
laws. Hera ia a summary : "Tax
mortgages for the value that can be
realised oat of them, and make the tax
a lien upon the seourity. Tax notea
at their market value, and place an
interest forfeiture penally upon all not
bearing the assessor's stamp. Allow
deduction for indebtedness on all
debts when the tax ia paid by the
creditor. Beduce the number of mem
bers of the board to five. Require
them to devote all their time to the
work. Let the board designate the
classification of property both real
and personal. Have the board assess
all inter county property and national
banks."
Carload or Poultry. A patent
poultry car haa been forwarded to this
city br Charles Jacobson A Co., com
mission merchants of San Francisoo,
aaya the Eugene Guard. This car haa
128 compartments, and will carry
from 4000 to 0000 birds. The com
partments are eight stories high, and
range along each side of tha car, with
an alley way through the center. It
ia built of iron, and in each depart
ment are troughs tor food and water
for tha fowls while In transit. Tbia
car, whioh ia probably the first of the
kind ever brought to Eugene, will be
loaded with chickena, turkeys, ducks
and geese and shipped to San Fran
cisco aoma time during thia month.
Mr. Jaoobson will be in Eugene about
the 15th int., but bia agents, J. L.
Cbaae A Co., eommisaion men, will do
most of tha purchasing. What the
car lacks in being filled here will be
obtained at Medford and other South
ern Oregon towns.
What Hib Fbcnbs Brought.
Oorvallis Times i D. C. Rose has re
ceived a letter from his brother, now
in the East, and along with it, returna
from a shipment of dried prunea re
cently shipped to St. Louis to be mar
keted. The fruit, after being twenty
six days enroute, was sold promptly
on arrival at St. Louis at 7 cents per
pound, and tha letter deolares that if
received before the bolidaya, cents
per pound would hays been realised.
As the shipment was oniy a paruai
car load the freight rate waa 12.20 per
100 pounds instead of 81.20 aa would
have beon the oase if there had been a
full carload. As It is, Mr. Rose re
ceives net for his prunes 4 cents per

INSURGENTS GAINING IN CUBA
The Opposing Forces Gaiae
Together Near Hayana.
Great Destruction of Property Re
portedMany Village Bnrned
br the Insurgents.
Havasa, Jan, M At noon today con
tinued artillery firing was heard south of
Elncon, not far from Bcjucal. The town
waa attacked by lasurgonts yesterday, but
tbey were forced to retreat after a battle
lasting, It ia cisiraed, five hours, but, it is
admitted that tbe insurgents plundered
stores In the outlying street of Bejucal,
burned many houses and destroyed the
railroad depot. Previously tbey bad burned
tb town of Salad, and partly destroyed
Qulvlcan. Tbey burned freight trains and
destroyed everything as tbey pushed north
ward toward Havana.
This force of Insurgents Is the one sup
posed to be commanded by Gomes, al
though it has been lnalstsd upon that be is
still In the province of Finar del Rio, and
was in confliot with the Spanish troops
commanded by General Linares. It is be
lieved an important engagement took place.
, Confirmation has been reoeived from tbe
eastern provinces that the leaders Babi,
Jos Macao, Rlvero and others, at the head
of strong forces of insurgents from the
provinoe of Puerto Principe, believed to be
mnch better armed than any previous
forces, and to have been reinforced by fili
bustering expeditions containing numbers
of Americans, sre moving eastwardly, ap
parently with the intention of reiuforciog
the insurgents now operating in the neigh
borhood of Havana. These insurgent
forces are said to have moved Into the
Bemedloa district in a northwesterly direc
tion from Sanctl Spirltus, and from there
on westward.
Campos has been forced to meet this
move by aending back towards Santa Clara
several columns of troops which were on
their way through the province of Matan
xas to reinforce bis forces in this vicinity.
The insurgents, It is believed, will thus be
able to continue for some time longer their
almost unchecked operations, and If tbe
8panish generals are not able to prevent a
junction of all tbe Insurgent forces now in
this vicinity, the situation will become more
critical.
Several Insurgent bands, numbering from
100 to 300 men, are reported to have gatb
ered In the provinces of Colon and Matan
xas, and all of these will help to swell Ma
ceo's forces. The insurrection is increas
ing in importance every day.
Practically, the whole interior of the Isl
and, from east to west, with the exception
of the large towns, la in the possession of
the insurgents, who bsve burned every
thing combustible, and bare levied tribute
right and left, under the very noses of the
Spanish commanders, cutting down the
revenue of the Spanish government from
Cuban sources about 80 per cent.
The insurgents are not acting hastily in
any way. They bare plenty of time before
them, and intend to make the most of it.
They have a central government established
at Hermosa, In the province of Puerto
Principe; their forces are organised in ex
cellent military style; they have regular
army workshops; hospitals, in addition to
the field hospitals; depots of provisions,
ammunition, etc. Their cavalry is vastly
superior, both in number and quality, to
that of the Spaniards, and tbe military ex
perts assert that the importation of 3000 or
MOO Spanish cavalry from 8paln will, In no
way affect the situation, as the Spanish
horses cannot stand the climate. The weak
point of the Unban army Is its artillery.
They have only a few guns of the old-fashioned
type, and a few modern rapid-firing
guns.
This afternoon it waa stated that General
Mac so had plundered the village of Ban
Diego de Nunes, quite an important place,
a little to the eastward and southward of
Bahia Honda, the port recently captured
by the insurgents, on the northern coast of
Cuba, and In the province of Ptnar del Rio.
A report has just beea received tbat the
railroad station and the railroad bridge at
Govea have been burned by tbe Insurgents,
the bridge being partially destroyed.
Doubta of Campos' Sanity.
Chicago. Jan. 14. A special from Boston
says:
Startling information ha been received
from Havana by a prominent Cuban tobac
co-dealer here, whose interest tn the Island
forbid using his nam.
'There is a general opinion," says the
letter, "both among insurgents and Span
iards, that General Compos has become de
mented. His action, not only in the direc
tion of the campatgn,Jbut bis private and
ordinary actions are auoh as to give good
grounds for such belief.
Gomes has no idea of attacking Havana
but bis plan is to cut off the city's supplies.
There Is no doubt but tbat fully half of th
oitisens and populace are Cuban sympa
thizers.
"The Americans are thoroughly detested
by the Spaniards. The situation is serious.
A great deal of American property has
been destroyed, and terrible atrocities will
be committed upon Amerioans. Tbe
United States needs a warship or two in
Havana harbor." "
Another Filibustering- Party.
Nxw Yobe, Jan. 14. A local paper aaya:
Intelligence bas been received by a prom
inent member ef tho Cuban party in New
York of the arrival of an important aux
iliary to th insurgent forces. Reports
have already been published stating that a
filibustering expedition under Garcia, has
been landed near Havana.
A party consisting of 40 men, under tbe
leadership of Alfredo Laborde, has landed
at Batabano, on th westcoaat of th isl
and, within a short dlstsno of Havana.
The party is well equipped. Gomes and
Maceo are hovering tn the vicinity with up
ward of 4000 troops. Ever since the revo
lution broke out last February, th Insur
gent leader, Del Gardo, with 400 men, has
been under arms at Batabano. This party
will be joined by tb new arrivals, and the
combined force will join tha main army.
Th intelligence is considered of th great
est importance by all the Cubans to whom
it bas been communicated.
Negotiating With Insurgent.
Havana, Jan. 15. The air ia full of ru
mors regarding negotiations going on be
tween the oap tain-general and the Insurgent
leaders, bnt the general opinion is that
van if tbey are taking place, ther will be
no result from them. It Is reported that
while Macao wa moving along the north
ern coast of Plnar del Bio, b recelred con
siderable additions to his supply of arms
and ammunition. A sohooner loaded with
arms, etc., is said to have awaited tb in
surgent at La Mulata, and other such con
signments are said to have been received
at various parts of th coast. This Is de
nied by th Spanish authorities, who say
th ooast is thoroughly patrolled by tbe
Spanish nsvy.
The cans of th heavy artillery firing
beard yesterday la the vicinity of Bejncal,
south of this city, and about half way be
tween Havana and Batanavo, remained a
mystery nntil about noon today. It ap
pears tbat the insurgents, under Gomes,
were twice repulsed in attempting to cap
ture th city. It Is said the principal ob
ject of Gomez' attack on Bejucal, south of
tbls city is to create a diversion under
which bis lieutenant, Maceo, may retire
from tbe province of Plnar del Rio. When
last heard from, the second insurgent army
under Generals Jos Vaceo, Babi and
others, wss believed to be pushing on
through to the Sagua la Grande, District of
Santa Clara, toward the border of Matansas.
Efforts are being mad to check it pro
gress at or about Colon. '

elected J. B. Godfrey, A. B. Little and

of the National Republican Club; also
the need ia felt for a change in many
