HEWS OF TMB STATE. Members ot the family of Roy Coftl at Cottage Grove have been suffering from a supposed case of accidental pois' oning and one child has already died and the death ot another is expected, It is a question as to the source of the IK) i sou. whether from canned tomatoes or from rat poison put in some hay in which the children played. The Illinois river, Josephine County, was higher during the late freshet than ft has been since the flood of '61. number of families residing opposite Kerby were rescued from drowning by rafts. A horse swam across the river carrying a line, and by this means the unfortunates were towed to safetv. Six families were rescued in this way, Grants Pass Observer. There is a new irrigation scheme, or p -op08ition,on font in Klamath County, The plan," 6ays the Klamath Fall Republican, "is to tan the main body of Upper Klamath lake and make ssiual that will furnish water enough to irrigate 40,000 acres of land. This will require cutting through the hill north st ot Klamath Falls and among other work, making a half-mile tunnel. It is thought it will take a year to complete the canal. It is a CO operative scheme a. i will be able to furnish water to stockholders and others at a compara tively low rate."

I The committee haviug charge of a public masquerade given at Altnras, CoL, for the benefit of the Altnras baud, permitted several of the maskers to caricature Superior Judge Harring ton and the gcutlenien conuccted with the prosecntiou of James W. Brown in the Lookout lynching case. The imper- conation of Judge Harrington was par ticularly offensive, and the action of the committee in sanctioning the ap pearance of the masker on the floor in ench costume is condemned. 1 A tall man, apparently a sailor, walked to the extreme eud of ileiggs wharf at the foot of Powell street, San liaucisco, and stepped out on a string piece.

M. Smith, was in New York buying goods, and he hastened to Washing ton to confer with Mrs. Linculn garding the interment of her hits band's body. Mr. Smith Immediately wired Dr. Ilenrv Wohlgemuth, who was president of the Oakritlgu ceme tery, that Mrs. Lincoln desired the body taken to Springfield and laid I a receiving vault until iiermnnontuir rangeiueuts could be made. Ur, Wohlgemuth suggested that six acres 111 the cemetery be set apart for the president's last resting place, which was acted upon and later the deed made out to the Lincoln monument association, . Mrs. Lincoln a desires were com' municated to the city council of Springfield, which promptly deter mined to ignore her wishes on the ground that the president belonged to the nation and that Its claim was paramount to any family right. The council immediately negotiated for the land on which the state build ing now stands, agreeing to pay $50, O00 for the property. They proceeded to build a temporary tomb on the northeast corner, fronting on Second street. Men worked on it day and night to get it finished in time tor the funeral. When Lincoln's body reached Chi cago, Dr. Wohlgemuth went to th Tremont house to lay the matter be fore Robert T. Lincoln, General Hooker, Judge Davis, and the Rev, Mr. Gourley, and learn definitely whether the remains would be In terred at the new tomb or at Oak ridge, .naturally they were very much stirred by the' doctor s infor mation, and Gen. Hooker wired the facts to Secretary of War Stanton, and in 30 minutes the answer came that Mrs. Lincoln's wishes would be carried out and the body taken to Onkrtdge. Dr. Wohlgemuth returned to Springfield with this message to th council, but the finishing of the new tomb went on with all possible dls imiuu. i-resiaent Lincoln s remains were taken to Springfield anil lay in state in the old stntehouse, which is now used ns the courthouse. On the day of the funeral thou sands of people were in line. An im- invite: crown garnered at the new tomb to wait the procession, while comparatively few people hail the courag-e to waif for the enmimr of he body to Oakridge. The escort tnrteel from the north entrance of the stntehouse. faeinir Wnuhino-tnn street, and moved west, with Oen. Cook, assistant marshal, in com mand. He favored the new tomh, and. notwithstanding the solemnity of the hour, more than one heart throbbed exultantly over the certain success of their private, schemes. The cortege moved slowly ns far as Fourth street, where it was expected that the procession would file by left wheel, to go to the new tomb. At this juncture, Oen. Hooker assumed command, and with all the authority of his office gave the order: "Riffht wheel! to Oakridge ceme tery!" It was a crushing humiliation to the opposing faction, but an act of justice, for the desire of the wife was paramount to that of the slate. Dr. Wohlgemuth assisted In lowering the coffin, and afterward cut the rope in to souvenirs for the ruvr 11. m,,,- j-resident Lincoln's body lay three months in the tomb under military guard, when it was transferred to a temporary tomb, where it remained until the monument was completed.. After an attempt to steal the body it was moved at night and laid in a seeret vault. The coffin has been opened three times for the purpose of indentification, the last time being a few years ago, when a few person al friends looked into the face of Abraham Lincoln and found "it un changed save that the features were a trifle shrunken, the hair remained the same, and the clothing was in an excellent state of preservation, ftaiajah Smoklnir.
