Buicidr in St. Helens. Our city
was thrown into quite a state of ex
citement Monday afternoon by the dis
covery of a dead man in one of the
wator uloteta at the eohooliiouse. Borne
children were playing near by, and
noticed a foot sticking out the closet
door. The fact was made known and
n Investigation revealud the fact that
n unknown man was lying dead in
aide the closet. Dr. MoLaren, the cor
oner, waa at onoe notified, who ar
rived on the nigutbnat, aud proceeded
at once to hold an inquest. Drt. Cliff
and Host performed an autopsy, do
velping the facta that the man's stom
ach contained a considerable amount
of carbolio acid, and from the eiroum
tancet in the case the jury returned
a verdict of death by suicide. Noth
ing waa found on the person of the
dead man by which a clue to bit iden
tity might be had. The remains were
buried in Odd Fellows' cemetery Tues
day. : ; .
Asothbb Myiteiy. Last Tueaday
Coroner McLaren, of Rainier, received
letter from Mr. 0. W.Avery, of Port
land, informing him that partiee at
work on the Abraham A Knox farm
on Sauvies inland had found the body
of a human, that it part of the body.
The men were at work slashing brush,
nd came to mysterious looking box,
which they at onoe opened, and were
horrified jto find its contents to be the
remains of a human. The matter was
at once reiorted to the officials in
Multnomah county, and Mr. Avery
took it upon himself to notify the cor
oner here. Whether the box with its
contents were dnposited there by the
perpetratora of some awful crime, or
whether it drifted there during a high
water, ia not known. An investiga
tion may develop the facta.
To Have Oppositioh. It is reported
in steamboat circles that the Iralda
will soon have opposition on her route
between Portland and Rainier. It
aeemt that Mr. Newsome will not go
into the combine, and in order to bring
him to time, the O. R. A N. Co., the
White Collar Line, and Jacob Kamm
will place a steamer on the route in
opposition. The steamer to be put in
aervioe ia said to be the Canby, which
was built for the Astoria-Ilwaco route.
It was formerly propelled with a gaso
line engine, but this will be repUoed
with a tteam engine. The boat it a
beauty in model, and hat, a speed of
twenty milet an hour.
Lioht-Deaiioht Boat. The Lewis
River Transportation Company have
the plana and specifications for a light
draught tteamer, for the Lewis river.
It will be 125 feet in length, and will
draw from eight to ten inches of water.
This it what the company has needed
for years, and with such a steamer
they will be able to run to Woodland
and La Center at any season of the
year. It will also enable the settlers
on the upper river to get their pro
duoe to market any time they may de
sire to do to, which meant that the
mount of produce raised in that
locality will be greatly increased. ,
Positive It Is Fare. Our readers
will remember the sudden disappear
ance of young Farr, of Gobls. The
man found floating in the river at the
foot of Everett street, Portland, has
been identified by Mr. Q. H. Fair a
being his son. Wednesday, aooom
panied by the young man's partner
and other friends, Mr. G. II. Farr went
t iv nnnr farm in Multnomah coun
ty and exhumed the body, and it was
provon beyond aouot mat mo remains
were those of J. 0. Farr. An effort
will now be made to uncover the mys
tery of his death.

It is, or should be, the highest aim
of eyery merchant to please his cus
tomers; ana tbat the wide-awake drug
firm of Meyers A Eshleman, Sterling,
111., is doing so, is proven by the fol
lowing from Mr. Eshleman: "In my
sixteen years' experience in the drug
business I have never seen or sold or
tried a medicine that gave as good sat
isfaction as Chamberlain's Colic, Chol
era and Diarrhoea Remedy. Sold by
Dr. Edwin Ross.
An Ohio editor says that bay fever
is caused by kissing grasswidows. A
Missouri editor says it is caused by a
grasswidow kissing a cow by moon
light. An Iowa editor says it is caused
by a fellow kissing the hired girl while
she is feeding bay to a cow, and a Kan
sas exchange is of tbe opinion tbat it
is caused by missing the girl and kiss
ing the cow. The Walla Walla States
man thinks it is caused by the hired
man kissing the farmer's wife ib tbe
barn. The East Oregoniau sayt it
comet from too close a study of the
Scripture : "All flesh is grass."
Oregon dried prunes are now selling
in the East at ten cents per pound.
The Webfoot grower gets three and
four cents per pound for them, it
costs a cent a pound to ship them, and
the Eastern price less the freight and
Oregon price leaves a margin of six
cents. Who gets this profit of six
cents on every pound of Oregon dried
prunes? Mr. Desoh says the middle
man does, and it shows the crying
need there is for Eastern consumer
and the Oregon producer to cultivate
a oloser acquaintance. Reporter.
There are eight classes of people who
do a town harm. Firat, those who go
nut of town to do their trading; seo
ond those who oppose improvements;
third, thos who prefer a quiet town to
one of push and business; fourth, those
who think business can be done slyly
and without advertising; fifth, those
who deride public spirited men ; sixth,
those who oppose any publio enter
prise that does appear to benefit them ;
seventh, those who appose everything
that doea not originate with them
selves, and those who seek to injure
the credit of an individual.
- Some one hat remarked that we live
in a grand country. We do, we live
in a land of high mountains and high
taxes; big crooked rivers and big
crooked statesman ; big lakes, big
pumpkins, big men with pumpkin
heads; silver streams that gambol in
tbe mountains and pious politicians
tbat gamble in the night; roaring cat
aracts and roaring orators; fast trains,
fast horses, fast young men, and girls
fait, faster, fastest; sharpers, aharp
lawyers, sharp financiers, sharp-toed
shoes; noisy children, fertile plains

Silver Soliciting Mr. Towne cornea to
Oregon at an inopportune time to ac
oomplish much for his waning "oause."
Silver has gone down, wheat up, con
trary to all tbe silverites' theories and
predictions; our farmers are reason
ably prosperous and contented; busi
ness is brink, and in some lines boom
ing; the earth ia yielding more gold
than it bas for nearly half a century ;
and more than all, the country is pre
paring for a possible if not a probable
war. and doesn't care to hear much
about free ailver at 16 to 1. Mr. Towne
would succeed better if be would turn
himself into a rip-snorting evangelist;
then he would be more sure of crowds
and contributions. Welcome.
To run a newspaper without occa-
sionally publishing an article that is j
inexact or giving offense is like run
ning a railroad without having acci
dents or amashnps. It can't be done.
No man on eaith is so. much imposed
upon as the editor of a country newt
paper. Pushed with work continually
he must rely upon seooud and third
parties for information as to the events
that transpire. Frequently statements
are received from reliable persons, but
which are subsequently discovered to
be without foundation. If therefore
you find yourself ngrloved by tome
statement in your home paper, keep
the fact in your mind.- Do not fly off
the handle, but go to tho editor and
ask for a correction, and take our word
tor it, nine catet out of U a, if your
case oarriet merit with it, you will be
received politely, and the correction
nude with pleasure.

Fibhino Situatioh. - The fiahing
situation for the coming season is
gradually developing, so tbat some
idea of what will happen can be proph
esied. Aa a rule everyone connected
witb the fishing business is tongue
tied, and when one of them begins to
talk, all want to get into the band
wagon. Tbe authorized interview of
Mr. Elmore in this paper tbat be
would pay 4 cents for raw fib, and in
doing ia he was acting independent of
other canners, is a starter. Mr. George
states tbat their canneries will pay as
much or more than any other cannery.
Sofua Jensen, of the Fishermens' Co
operative cannery, states be will do
the same, but does not expect to get
Huh under five cents. Mr. Cbutter, of
Booth's, laid that while he bad not
yet decided what he would do, and
that fonr cents was too much, he would
be compelled to pay the current price.
Several fishermen state that Cook and
Warren have men out trying to find
fiuliermen, and promising to pay a lit
tle more than anyone else. The fish
ermen will hold no meeting this year
to decide upon tbe price of fish.agtbey
believe they can do better without set
ting any price, as fishermen and fish
will be in demand this year. Astoria
Budget.

when they became frightened and

jumped against Brown, knocking him
down and stepping on hit leg, break
ing it below the knee.
