Deckhaxd Dbowkbd. Henry Swan
on, a deckbend on the eteamer Lur
lioe, we drowned et Neer City, near
Ooble, on Friday morning of laat week
et IS; SO o'clock. The eteamer wee

gaged in putting off e cylinder weigh

there wet e slip, end the heavy, cylin
der end this deckhand went overboard.
Swaoson rose to the surface once, end
then dieappeared. Four minutes later

F. P. Henrioi, ex-school director , of
Montevilla, will shortly undergo the
operation of cutting open tbe skull to
relieve the pressure of e blood clot on
the optic nerve. He ie now convinced

hat been nearly destroyed. Mr. Hen
rioi wat struck on the bead a heavy
blow considerably over a year ego, end
and he was taken to e hospital. For
e time hit life wee despaired of, but
his strong constitution enebled him to
pull through. He seemed to recever
hit health, but one half of hie eyesight
wue dead, to that hit virion was very
much confuted end lndittlout. It wss
supposed that the trouble wee caused
by the pressure of a riot in the brain,
and that it would finally be absorbed,
when Mr. Henrici't eyesight would be
fully restored. But thie use not been
tbe result, end his sight hae been so
much impaired that he has been un
able to do anything. The clot teemt
to be pressing down on one-half of the

to transfer from bis present locstion.tbeugb
some One logs are yet put In from his log
ging csmp on Fall creek. We are In hopes
Mr. Saldern may find it expedient to go up
the Clatskanle river with bis logging rail
road. He bas th matter under considera
tion. The city council held a meeting Monday
evening to check up account a little and
ascertain the progress and prospects of pipe
laying for oar waterworks. Tb street are
quite thoroughly ditched at present, and
this week will see tbe main pipe all laid.
It 1 gratifying to tb council, s well our
oltltens. to see th wlllingn" manifested
to do th digging, pipe-laying, and such
work as Is neceary,and talc tb "promise
to pay" of tb city in pavment for such
labor was not volunteered. Our people
believe In the city owning and controlling
Its own water system, and a considerable
amount of volunteer labor bas been given
to get th ditches dug and th pipe laid.
Krats bell bas been the scene of some
musical exercises the past week. A couple

Conyers, and Bay Sullivan are at boras
with their brass instruments, and when a
piano accompaniment is needed Miss Myr
tle Jones can be relied upon for that. When
these performers gather in tbe ball, where
there is a piano, it is not surprising that
people passing, stop to listen, or gaihar in.
If tbey have time. Krats. himself, enjoys
it, and is taking piano lessons, a well as
keeping hi voice lo tun for th benefit of
bis customers,
Spain and America.
Those who are basiy te criticise Presi
dent McKinley because he does not rush
war with Spain to an immediate Issue,
should remember tbat there are facts and
conditions known to tbe president with
which the country at large is not. nor can
be, acquainted. It is easy to remember
with what violert criticism President Lin
coln wa assailed because be did not do all
things at once, and yet history shows how
far-seeing and wise were bis acts. President
McKinley cau be trusted to do everything
tbat is best for tbe nation, and to do it in
good time. He is a patriot without one
drop of cowardly blood, and when the iron
is hot he will strike the blow.
It hss been made perfectly clear to Spain
that nothing lose than a close of the war
and tbe Independence of tbe island will suf
fice as an adequate settlement. It is now
for Spain to accept or reject these tenders.
There is no doubt that Spain, after all her
bravado, is weaking. as ber bone for foreign
intervention proved vain, and theorists will
be resetted m two or mre any.
