People especially ladies don't go out of their way to buy unless there is a reason. IT IS BECAUSE we have established a reputation for abso lutely fresh goods especially in the line of table -s- delicacies, and our customers are sure of a superior article and then the prices are right. L ...GIBSON & LINDSEY... PROPRIETOR OF HARDING'S BAKERY AND GROCERY BREAD AND PASTRY A SPECIALTY Suspected Foul Flav. Mrs. Richen and J. K. Morris returned Saturday with the remains of the late Frank C Richen, who was killed near Umatilla Junction almost a week previous by be ing run over by a passenger train. On Sunday his remains were interred in Mountain View cemetery, under the auspices of Willamette Falls Camp No. 148, Woodmen of the World, which ser vice of the order was beautiful and im pressive. Mrs. Richen and J. K. Morris, who carefully investigated the circum stances connected with the death of Mr. Richen, do not believe that he was at tempting to ride the brakeheara, as was stated in the telegram advices from that section. The theory seems to prevail that he was either thrown or fell from the steps of the rear platform of a pas senger coach, as the marks on the sand boards for a distance of 800 feet along the tracks indicated that he had been dragged, and a piece of one of his hip bones was found imbedded in one of the boards, and at last was thrown under the wheel of the coach, which passed over the center of his body. The train on which he was riding met an ab straction some distance ahead in the way of a wreck, and ,on its return trip the remajnof Richen was picked up by the engineer, and laid to one 'side and the -coroner . notified. No inquest was held, but the body was ordered buried. A letter of recommendation was found on his person from a party for whom he had worked in Powder river valley, and who afterwards telegraphed that Richen had money when he left there. His watch, razor, two pocket knives and other articles that he carried in his pocket, were picked up scattered along the track, but only 15 cents in money was found in his pocket. Mrs. Richen thinks that he was either pushed off the the steps of the car or fell off accidently,' and hung on for dear life, while his body was being dashed against the sand boards along the side of the track, until his strength was gone. A man who had been his companion for a day previous to the accident, was missing immediately afterward, and it is possible that he could tell something of what become of Richen's money. AVhen Mr. Richen left Oregon .City his wife sewed a strong pocket on the inner side of his under shirt fastened at the bottom with a double seam and made fast at the top with a safety pin. Mr. Richen had money with him when he left Oregon Oity, and has probably earned $50 at Powder river, so that it is evident that some one got his cash. When the body was disinterred for shipment to this place, Mrs. Richen examined the Docket on the inner side of his undershirt, and found that the lower part of the same had been cift with a knife, while the upper portion fastened with a safety pin was sun intact, welore the hodv was buried it laid under a water tank for two days before it was ordered burried by the coroner. The fact was ascer tained that Richen had "shipped his baggage by express from Pendleton to Dayton, and steps will be taken to re' cover the same. Dedication of tub Maudale Homk. It has been a little over two yeurs since the corner stone of Magdalen Home of the Good Shepherd, was laid at Park place. During the time the work has been steadily puHhed on the large three story building, and a part of the structure has been occupied for the purpose originally intended, until now there are 62immatcsin the institution, ranging from infant children to women of ad vanced ago. On last Sunday the build ing was formally dedicated, together with the blessing of llio bell and the confirmation of a class of resident penitents. Archbishop Gross conducted the services, assisted by Father Hille brand, of this city, Father Bolla, of the home, and Fathers Donnelly of Portland. A large audience was present to witness the ceremonies, and visited the various departments of the large building, which was thrown open to the public for the first time. The sponsors for the bell were Mr. and Mrs. Davis, of Ottawa, Oanadi, its donors; Mrs. Levi P. Ander son, donor of the real estate belonging to the home; Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Sul livan, of this city, and Mr. and Mrs. John Shea, of this city. The seimons by Archbuhop Gross were highly com mended by all who heard them. About $15,000 has been expended in improve ments at the home, and there is yet considerable to be done. All theinmates are treated with the utmostconsideration and; they are instructed in laundry and needle work, cooking and everything pertaining to household economy. On account of a lack of the usual legislative appropriation, the sisters are somewhat handicapped in the building work, but nevertheless they are making commend able headway.

Coroner Godfrey was summoned, and a piece of paper was found in the deceased's pocket, hurriedly written, stating that on account of fail ing eye-sight and poor health he was tired of living. This letter gave out the information where he had some money and notes deposited. Mr. Scholl came to Oregon in 1846 with his parents and settled in Washington county at the place now known as Scholl's ferry.

It is now a pos sible fact that the registership of the Oregon City land office will not goto Clackamas county at all. Thomas F. Ryan, one of the candidates has with drawn liis application. The factional strifes are so bitter between some of the rival Clackamas county candidates, that the fight has almost become a per sonal one. Their grievances have been poured into the ears of the congressional delegation, until they realize that it would be doubtful policy to give the place to a Clackamas county aspirant. If Clackamas county gets nothing at the hands of the present administration it is and will be the fault of her own people. the boat reached this city a delegation from the Oregon Oity board of trade, consisting of H.

Cheney and Mortimer Latourette returned home last Thursday evening.' Lee Harding was a member of the party, but returned home from Klamath lake on account of accidently discharging the contents of a gun into his arm. They traveled by team all the way leaving Oregon Oity about the lust of June, and first went south, passing through Grant's Pass, visited Crater lake, crossed over the mountains into Klamath county ; thence north to Prine- ville, and over the Lebanon route to the Willamette valley. They were gone al most two months on their outing trip, and found some good hunting grounds and fishing streams on their journey, as well as a variety of scenery. A souvenir of their trip is on exhibition in Harding's drug store window in the way of a bachelor home-made biscuit, that has withstood, the ravages of time and climate. There is no doubt but what the maker of that biscuit would make a desirable stepfather. A Sunset Bow. In the issue of the Oswego Ironworker, under the heading of a "Sunset How," Herbert L Gill, the editor, announces the suspension of the paper. The change of administration did not bring the prosperity to Oswego as was prophesied by the Ironworker, and the following is a portion of his valediction: "We have published the Iron Worker much longer than the reader, acquainted with Oswego's present deplorable condition, expected and the paper's suspension, to them, is in no manner a surprise, nor is it, ncssiblv a matter for deep regret. This is the last issue of the Iron Worker. The act is compulsory, for reason given and we record the death of the paper with sorrow. Wc have found the people of Oswego whole-hearted, and of them have only good to tell ; but it is im possible for our few business men, in uch a sterile field, and a population that is weekly being lessened, to support a newspaper in their midst.
