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.

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 pollatch chichamin, chickamin, chick amin. Wake nika tickey." 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. ... . Tbaohbrb' Examination.

A number of St. Helens people vis ited the Thomas B. Reed republican club at Houlton last Monday evening. Speeches were made by T. J. Cleeton and Harrison alien, and considerable enthusiasm prevailed. If some enterprising capitalist would construct a wood flume from Milton creek into St. Helens, and afterwards operate it, tbey would be able to retire from busineas in a few yeara. Enter prising capitalists are not numerous this year, however. It is olaimed that by reference to the hotel registers in the different cities of the Northwest travel is again on the increase. This increase, bow ever, is largely due to the drummer travel wb.ob. always appears in ad vance of the aprlng trade. The entertainment given last Friday evening in this city by the Ladies Aid Society was a success in every sense. The ladiea are certainly entitled to much credit for the dilligent manner in which they labored, and were re warded by an 911.45 audience. The following order waa picked np on the street the other day, and read as follows : Dear Sir : Plea send me 4 ponnds of oofe and some te. My wife had a boy last night; also ten pounds of oheese and a rat trap; he weighed 9 pounds and a hatchet and nails. ' A new departure in the drummer line are the Misves Oilman and Watte, of Portland, who are representing Prioe's Baking Powder. They are modest, though enterprising and ener getic young ladies, and will undoubt edly meet with success in their chosen profession. Mr. L. L. Deoker is making a notioe- able Improvement in the vicinity of his home in the north end of town, in the way of removing the timber. Cer tainly that part of our city ia becom ing very popular aa a residenoe por tion, and those who are interested are vigorously prosecuting the work of improvement. Mrs. Nancy Welch, one of two of the first white women to settle permanent ly in Astoria, died at her home in that city Tuesday evening. Deceased was over 7s years or age, and had resided permanently in Astoria since 1840. With her husband she crossed the plains in 1843, arriving in Oregon City in November, 1844.' 8he leaves a val uable estate. "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 agreed, it is said, upon what division is to be made of the offices. The 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 one aecms to be able to account tor ibis difference in business, though all feel the effect. It may be said, how ever, tbat the receipts so far this month compare favorably with the corresponding period last year. The next meeting of the Reed re publican club will be beld on Satur day, February 22, at 7:30 in the even ing, in the schoolbouse at Houlton. Election of officers, proposed adoption of new constitution and other business necessarily coming before the club, as well as speeches, will make this ses sion an interesting one.
