rison republican elub of Doer Island
held s moating Uit Sunday t 2 o'clock,
T.J. Cleeton, Harrison Allen, James
Mnokle and J. R. Beegl from St.
Helens, were in attendance, and the
two flril named were the oratori of
the day. At the close of the epeeohet
Mr, Allen entertained the audienee

FiTiTioxa Oramtbd On February
4th Senator Mitchell presented in the
senate of the United 6uti a petition
from the Clatikanie republican elub,
tiruylnir that an appropriation be made
lot the improvement of the Clatikanie
river, and. the petition was referred to
the committee on commerce. Senator
Mitchell also, on the tame day, pre
sented a petition from sundry cilixeni
of Bcsppoosa, praying for the enact
ment of legislation prohibiting appro
priations for sectarian purposes. This
petition was referred to the committee
on judiciary, Theie frets are gleaned
from the Congressional Hucord of the
nbove date. ,
Brown's Gum Found. Thursday's
IloseburgPlaindealiirsays: Ed Combs,
driver of the Coos Bay Stage Line,
came in from Myrtle Point last night,
and report that Sam Drowu't sun had
been found in the river at the place
where the last traces of his tracks were
found by the officers in pursuit. This
(act leads to the almost certainty that
Brown was drowned there last Satur
day, as reported by the officials who
were on bis trail. If true, and there is
scarcely a doubt of it, it closes the
drama and shows that the way of the
transgressor is hard, and is a warning
to all evil doers. They will eventually
close an iguominous life in an ignoble
way.
Livs Allioatoks. I. L. Campbell
aent William Kenshaw three live alii
fators which he obtained while in
lorida, says the Eugene Guard. They
are little fellows about nine inches in
longth. They came by express, in a
linv alvtut 410j InAhna. ,tr.h an at
bole in each end. when they reached
here they appeared to be dried up and
dead, and Mr. Renshaw was going to
throw them away, but was induced to
throw them in wator, and Ihey soon
soaked up and became quite lively.
Me now has them in a tub of water,
and thsy have received many callers
during the day. With them came in
atruotions not to feed them before the
first of May.
A Psculiar Incidsnt. -A peculiar
incident occurred in connection with
the banning of Lloyd Montgomery at
Albany last week. At one corner of
the enclosure where the scaffold was
erected, stood a woodshed, and on the
roof were two roosters who had spent
the night there, and aa the hanging
look place at 7 o'clock they had not
el left their roost. Mo sound was
lieerd from them until toe trap was
sprung, and then one of the roosters
arose and crowed loudly. He then
aettled down again until the doc
tor pronounced Montgomery deed,
and just as the announcement was
made the rooster again crowed and
then became quiet. It was only a
'circumstance, but was a peculiar one.
BbedClub Mibtimq. -Last Monday
evening an interesting meeting wax
held by the Reed republican club, of
lloultoo, called to order by J. a. God
frey, president. The club was visited
by member of the McKinley club, of
fit. Helens, who, by their president,
Mr. Allen, invited the members of the
Reed club to attend and take part in
the proceedings of the McKinley club.
and also in the organisation known as
the U. H. Senate, which meets at the
same time and place. Both invitations
were accepted. Speeches were mnde
by Mr. Allen and Mr. Beegle, also by
Mr. Cleeton, of the Reed club. After
a vote of thanks to the visitors the
meeting adjourned to meet on Wash
ington's birthday.
TwoOrrtcuuOuT. "Tbeemployes
of the postoffioe were somewhat sur
prised Tuesday afternoon to learn that
Assistant Postmaster C. A. Hughes
had been dismissed from the service,
and that money order chief Silvey
Stewart bad handed in his resignation,"
aaya the Chronicle. "There has been
some talk in official cl roles for a long
time to the effect that Mr. Protxmnn
and Mr. Hughe were not on the best
of terms, but it was not expected that
Mr. Hughes would be dismissed. Mr.
W. A. Munley, formerly private secre
tary to ex-governor Pennoyer, has
been installed in Mr. Hughe' place,
and will, for the balauce of Mr. Profs
man's term write asaistant postmaster
after bis name. There is no reason
assigned for Mr. Hughes' dismissal
other than personal ones, and Mr.
Protsman has nothing to say against
the efficiency of either of the gentle
men." These and other changes have
been expected in the Portland post
offioe for some time. Indeed, Post
master Protaman's head has been con
sidered in danger for some time, and
no doubt a suspicion against some of
the assistaots has brought about the
dismissal above referred to.
A Tirriblb Muedbe. On Thurs
day evening of last week an awful
tragedy ocourrod in Portland. George
Baxter, In a fit of rage, out his wife's
throat from ear to ear with a rasor,
and afterwards attempted to commit
auioide with the same weapon. After
elashing his own throat a time or two
he was stopped by an offloer who had
arrived by this time. When the offloer
appeared on the scene Mrs. Baxter
lay dead npon the floor and a little 4-year-old
daughter was in bed in the
same room. Baxter was taken to the
hospital where he is being attended
by physicians who think his chances
for recovery are favorable, and in the
meantime he is closely- guarded to
prevent his escape or doing himself
further bodily injury. The cause
which led up to this terrible deed was
the dissipating habits of Mrs. Baxter,
who, on that same evening had been
taken out of the baok room of a saloon
in a drunken condition by her hus
band. Mrs. Baxter's maiden name
was Anderson, and bar parent reside
near Vancouver, Wash. It is said
that Baxter waa engaged la the log
ging business on Soappoose bay only
a few years ago, and is well known
ail along the river.
Enthusiastic Mbbtino. The regu
lar meeting of the McKinley club of
this city was beld on Wednesday eve
ning. The attendance was large and
speeches were made by several mem
bers of other oluds. Mr. W. A. Wood,
who happened to be present at the
time, was invited to make some re
marks, and responded by saying that
he did not belong to any party but
felt a oommon Interest In the welfare
of hisoountry, and was proud tossy
he was an American citizen ; but that
not agreeing with the republican party
anything he might any at that time
might have a tendency to throw cold
water on the proceedings. Mr. Wood
waa lustily cheored at the conclusion
of his remarks. At this point the
club meeting adjourned and the rou
tine work of the senato was taken up,
this being the first regular session of
the new , organisation. After some
preliminary arrangements the Intro
auction and iirst reading of bills and
petitions was tsken up. A bill was
introduced by Senator Allen of Ne
braska to increase the circulating
medium 1600,000,000 by the issuance
of irredeemable greenbacks in three
installments of different dates, which
was referred to the committee on
finance. A bill for the enactment of
legislation extending the right of suf
frage to women was also introduced,
accompanied by a petition signed by
women from many parts of the United
States ssking tht enactment of such a
law. Among the signature attached
to the petition were those of Msry
Ellon Lease, Sman B. Anthony, Mary
IC. Ilobart, Hariet Boucher Stuwe,
Rose Cleveland, and many others.
Discussion of the suffrage bill took up
the remainder of the evening, but
final consideration was duforred until
the next meeting. At 10:20 the sen
ate adjourned.
"Only a Fbw of Us Larr." Wake
mika tickey." The beautiful lingo
known as Chinook . jargon, which was
formerly the principal means of com
munication between the pioneers and
the Indians of this region, and among
settlers in sections where Indians were
numerous, wss in almost as oommon
use as English, is now very seldom
heard, and those who can understand
it, let alone speak it, can truly say
"there is only a few of ua left." The
following anecdote brought from Hood
River by Mr. Will Langilte ia there
fore given for the benefit of the few
old-timers who can understand and ap
preciate it: Mr. Langille moeting an
old Indian going fishing on Sunday,
said to him. "Jim, you old sinner,
why don't you go to church To
which Jim replied, "Wake aika tickey
clatawa copa oburob house. Okok
man halo eumtux sahalie tyee. lot
man mitwit, hallo, hallo, hallo. Tenas
cluchman hyu sing, sing, sing. Siwasb

To Charob tub Boundary. When
it cornea to a swap, jackknives or
boundariea, it is essy to tell our origin,
says the Oregonian. There ia some
serious talk of Lewia county, Wash.,
trading her south tier of townships to
Cowlils, Cowlits to give to Clarke
ounty the Lewis river country. The
Cowlits Advocate says ol the proposed
dicker: "Of course we would like to
have that part of Lewis county, for it
oontains much tine agricultural land
and some excellent forests of timer;
but the idea of giving up the Lewis
river country might not meet with the
same favor. We might afford the
swsp, to be sure, but the matter would
have to be thoroughly investigated
first, in order to asoerlain if we would
be benefitted by the deal. The Lewis
river is a mighty nice pieoeof country."
Shb Wants Edna Baxtbb. A Mrs.
Edward Gardner, of Saviu's island, a
sister of Jennie Baxter, the woman
killed last Thursday night, has written
a letter to Superintendent Gardner, of
the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, de
manding that Edna, the little child of
the waiters, be turned over to her, says
the Oregonian. The claims that the
girl was given to her on oath by the
parents, in th presence of witnesses,
and she wants possession of her. It
is not likely that she or any of the An
derson family will be given the cus
tody of the child, and, when the pros
eouling attorney ia through with her,
an order of court will likely be asked
to have Edna given in oare of her
aunt, Mr. Wm. Qilmore, who ia en
tirely willing to adopt tho child as her
own. ... .

If some enterprising capitalist would

It is olaimed that by reference to
the hotel registers in the different

The entertainment given last Friday

Mrs. Nancy Welch, one of two of the

permanently in Astoria since 1840.

"Itoannot be justly denied that pack
ed juries have been secured by the in
fluence of a class of lawyers which
should become extinct," the Walla
Walla Union says. "In other casss the
bribery of one or more jurors ha been
accomplished, but these practices are
yielding to greater caution and are be
coming more difficult to consumate
and escape detootion. But with all
juries, an incompetent judge, because
of hi irnorance or lack of firmness or
vigor in enforcing the law during trial,
has much ol the responsibility resting
npon him for the miscarriage of jusiice
which is wrongly charged to a jury."
Mr. Dolman has found it necessary
to put another line of shelves in his
store to display new goods, and new
lines of commodities filled in to supply
new wants, even in these times. With
merchants like Mr. Dolman the ques
tion of what kind of money we have
is not important. The real question
is how to sell goods at prices that will
keep the money moving and supply
the wants of the times.
The democrats and populists in Ta-
coma who favor fusion, have already

agreement ie tbat the democrats will
have the mayor and city attorney, and
the populists the controller and treas
urer on the fusion ticket; that all
nlacea in the city service which become
vacant after the election will be equal
ly divided between the two parties.
There seems to be a general feeling
among business men that trade so far
this month has been far below the
corresponding time in January. No

ibis difference in business, though all

ever, tbat the receipts so far this
month compare favorably with the
corresponding period last year.
