Amuoobd Ihsahav Last Saturday
Christian Felber, who was held to ans
wer on a charge of larceny In Justice
Clark's court last week, and who waa
cop fined in jsll in Portland to swait
the action of lb grand jury, wss
brought back to this oity to be exam
ined as to his sanity. The complaint
waa sworn to by ll 8. Italian and A.
H. Blakesley, and the examination
took place More Judge Doho, and
Felber was adjudged insane and com
mitted to lb asylum. When ques
tioned by the physicians Felber said
be knew it was wrong lo steal but de
clared that, being aul of work, he was
obliged to do so in order to live. He
also slated that be had been confined
in the Joliet penitentiary In Illinois,
from October 1891 to 1894 for stealing
600 feet of lumber. lis said it did not
make any difference to him whether
he went to the asylum or to tbe peni
tentiary, for in either case be would
ba cared for Instead of gelling his Hy
ing In th way ha had heretofore. His
ess is a peculiar one, and he will
probably not remain in th asylum
long. .

Dabokb AhbadI Strange as It may
appear, there has been considerable
apprehension among th farmers and
fruit growers In Ibis locality for the
safety of next ssasoo's fruit crop.
Thoir concern grew out of Ibe faot
that for sevsral days past, up to the
first of the present week, the buds on
fruit trees were rapidly swelling, and
In some esses were almost ready to
bloom, Tbis was noticeable, too, on
many kinds of shrubs, and bad the
warm weavher continued another forty
eight hours there would have been
many fruit trees W nearly full bloom.
Had this been the ess there certainly
would have been soothe, short fruit
orop for this section, a thing which
could not profitably be experienced
again, as the orop last year was an al
most total failure. This condition of
such early budding was experienced
a number' of years ago, whan, on
Christmas day of that year, there were
two cherry trees on R. Cox's place, at
Warren, In full bloom. The result
was that ths cherry crop on that place
was a complete failure. However, if
there should prevail colder weather for
a lew weeks yet, there may naturally
be expected an abundant amount of
iruit next season.

Croup is a terror to young mothers

object of tbis item. Tbe origin of
croup is a oommon cold. Children

easily and croun is almost sure to fol

tbis Is soon followed by a peculiar
rough cough, which Is easily recog
nixed and will never be forgotten by
one wbo has heard it. The time to
act is when the child first becomes
hoarse. If Chamberlain's Congb

croup will soon disappear, even
after the croupy couch bas developed
it will prevent Ihe attack. There is

It was gratifying to notice last week thst
your problem correspondent bad found oat
and was willing to admit there was an at
tempt at a high school In Clatskanle.
Gratifying because the admission was an
evidence that there is reosa in that brain
for smetblag besides the facts and prob-
Isms of tbe school' books. We would
further inform ths correspondent that tbs
attempt is a grsnd success, as baa been
demonstrated by three months of actual
trial, If a large attendance ot scholars and
enthusiasm in their work, count for any
thing. Ths correspondent would be safe
in risking an attempt to find our town. A
governor of Oregon, United States senators
and other members of congress, bave had
no difficulty In getting here, and members
of the state legislature are mads to order
here, the last three county conventions
finding talent in Clatskanle to represent tbe
county without any difficulty. Th high
school is getting others ready, but before
they announce themselves, we would like
to whisper In the correspondent's ear that a
school teacher was actually nominated for
tbe legislature while teacbiag here and
triumphantly elected soon after ths close
of the term. Come down soon, apply for
the school and get in line for promotion.
Yee, another Clatskanle school teacher is
now deputy sheriff ot ths county, and
where the lightning will strike next no one
knows. Take oat a little accident insur
ance and come down after Christmas, visit
the high school snd see the place. You
may get the measles on the first visit If
nothing more, tbey are here and easy to get.

CUBAN LEADER MURDERED
General Maceo and His Staff
Horribly Butchered.
Under Pretense of Making; Peace
th Dastardly Outrage Wae '
Committed.
Through the Associated Press reports the
details of the murder of General Antonio
Maceo and bis stuff bas been made known.
Following are the details as reported by s
Cuban in a letter written to a friend at
Jacksonville, Florida s .
"Havava, Deo. 0 Dear Friend Justo:
Our bravs general, Antonio Maceo, and
tbe greater part of his stuff bave been mur
dered by tbe Spaniards, the Spanish major.
Ctruje la, acting the part of assassin, with
Dr. Maximo Zertucba as an assistant in tbe
horrible drama.
"Convinced that, notwithstanding his
enormous army, bs could do nothing
against our gallant lesder, wbo had so re
peatedly defeated tbe Spanish generals in
Finer del Bio, Weyler conceived tbe Idea of
appeasing his beastly instincts by cold
blooded murder, and making tbe best of
tbe secret relations between Dr. Zertucba
and tba Marquis Ahomada, he planned
with the latter his hellish scheme.
"Weyler took the field, and in bis ab
sence Ahumada proposed through Maceo s
physician, Zertncba, a conference with
Maceo, to take place at a certain point in
tbe province of Havana, with tbe view of
arranging plans for tbe cessation cf hos
tilities. Tbs basis was to be Cuba's inde
pendence, snd a monetary Indemnity to
Spain, together with certain advantages
that should be agreed npon for Spanish
commerce and Spanish capital Invested
there. "
"Tocsrryout the plan, tbe agreement
was tbat orders should be given to tbe de
tachments of troops stationed on the troche
on the section between Martel and Guana
Jay, to allow Maceo, with bis staff, to pass
the military line unmolested. Time was
required to mature tbese arrangements,
and to give them all the appearance of
truth, Ahumada feigned that before acting
he must make tbem known to Weyler for
previous approval.
"Tbis sxplains Weyler's sndden arrival
in Havana and his prompt departure for
Pioar del Rio. The conditions and place of
meeting having been agreed upon, Maceo
crossed tbs trocha, over the road to Guana-
jay, without being molested by tbe forte,
but as soon ss ha arrived at the place de
cided upon, he and bis party were greeted
by a tremendous volley from tbe troops
nnder Major Cirajeda, who lay conven
iently in smbnsh. -"Most
of the officers of his staff fell with
General Maceo. Zertucha is alive, because
he was aware of tbe scheme and remained
In tbe rear."
In a letter from another Cuban ws find
the following:
"Maceo erossed tbe trocha, gaing to the
place appointed for the meeting. He passed
tbe Spanish sentinels nnder Spanish pro
tection, and they presented arms in his
honor. Going forward some four miles
from the trocha, Maceo snd his staff, nam.
bering35 men and officers, came to hill
side thickly stndded with small pines and
underbrush. Here a Spanish outpost was
observed. Maceo sent forward his flag, and
in a tew minutes was signaled to advance.
As be did so, hundreds of 8panish soldiers
arose out of the nnderbrnsb, surrounding
ths party. Major Cirujeda galloped op
and demanded Maceo's surrender.
"Never," shouted ths intrepid Cuban
leader, drawing bis sword.
"Forward, my men; death to tbe cow
ards," shouted Cirujeda.
At this the Spanish soldiers poured in a
fir of leaden bullets. Maceo fell at the
first fire and young Gomes next. The fire
was continued nntil every man was killed.
except Dr. Zertufcha, whom the Cubans
say Is a traitor. Ths bodies of Maceo and
young Gomes were then lied to the tails ot
the soldiers' horses and dragged over the
field, so as to disfigure them, as the Span
iards did not wish to have (hem discovered
and identified at first.
