William Warner dropped dead at the
rear entrance to Phillip Roos' saloon, on
the corner! Main and saventn streets
last Friday morning at half past
nine o'clock. Twenty grains of mor
phine had enabled Warner to shuffle off
this mortal coil.
The man came to Oregon City I burs-
day afternoon and claimed to be looking
for employment. William Teats, who
lives a few miles south oi Oregon City,
near Maple Lane, offered the man work

An Overflow Meeting of the
HUer8 of the Soil at Hard
ing Grange Hall.
The bright weather, good roads and
hours of leisure at this season of the
year, made of the meeting of Clackamas
Pomona with the Harding Grange, last
week, the largest gathering of its kind
in this county, if not in the state. The
number who sat down to dinner wag
235.
The reports from tbe several subordi
nates granges indicated that the order
is progressing in this county in numbers
and influence at a rapid rate. Both
Eagle Creek and Garfield are making
preparations to erect a roomy, two
story ball. Molalla has 148 members,
being the banner grange of the county.

plan of building an addition to its hall

Messrs. Casto, Holder and Sell wood
were appointed a committee to draft
resolutions of condolence in memory of
Hon. Thos, Tongue, who was an old-time
Patron, and John Trimball, secretary of
the National Grange and one of its orig
inal founders. , '
In regard to the $500,000 proposed to

the morgue. ' It developed at the coro
ner's inquest that when leats onereu
the man a job he had turned to him and
said : "You haye saved my life" at the
same time taking from a pocket a small
paper of morphine and showing It to
Mr. Teats. He then said : "I was just
going to take that." Teats tried to take
the drug fiom the man but could not do
bo, and left him thinking that he would
soon be working on his farm. When
Teats heard of the man's death he came
to town and told his story to the coro
ner's jury.
The man'8 identity was aiscoverea
through Captain J. T. Gray, of Port
land. He bad in his pocket Captain
Gray's name engraven on some alumi
num checks, luinaing mat captain
Gray might know the man he was com
municated with. He immediately came
to Oregon City and at once identified
the body as that of William Warner, a
deckhand, who had worked for him on
a Yukon river steamer. ne said tnat
Warner was a first' class hand and did
not drink when be knew him. He said
he got to know Warner very well on the
Yukon and liked his work, so offered
him a job in February. He thinks the
man was waiting lor February before
calling on him.
After due deliberation the coroner's
jury returned a verdict that the de
ceased came to his death through twenty
grains of morphine administered by bis
own band. The remains were buried in
the potter's field Sunday.

Mrs. Niblin, of Evening Star grange,
initiated the officers of Pomona and of
Harding grange in an Impressive man
ner. She recited tle ritual, rendered
into blank verse, from memory.
A resolution was passed against that
barbarous game, football, at i schools.
The sum of (5 was donated to each of
the four new granges at GarSeld, Eagle
Creek, Maple Lane and Molalla.
On account of the continual growth ol .
the grange in this county and tbe large
ness ot tbe crowd, all grangers, assem
bled, the question was brought up
whether it would not be advisable to di
vide this county into two Pomona dis
tricts. Evidently something must be
done.
Tbe place for assembling three months
hence was not fixed. Milwaukie grange
expressed its desire to entertain Pomona
in July.
A rising vote of thanks was given
Harding grange for its generous hospi
tality, and all who were present must
certainly agree that Harding honored
itself. .
Sixty-six took the fifth degree. The
ceiemony of initiation having been com
pleted, the class, mostly composed of
young folks, amused itself for ball an
hour in eating oranges, candies and
cake. The drawback on this occasion,
as in other parts of the meeting, was
the inadequacy of the ball to the size of
the crowd.
The program of the lecturer filled up
the remainder of the evening until II :30,
the. last number of which, an essay by
Mrs. B'eithaupt should, on account of
its excellence, have been given first.
The floor was cleared, the stove re
moved, and the young folks began to
dance, going home at five in the morn
ing, to be home in time to "pail the
cows."
