' - Portland, April 7. Although tb.9 homeseeker business ia lighter just at this time than it has been before since- the low rate to the West went into fffect on February 15, figures ia Possession of General Paesnger Agent A. L. Craig, of the O. R. & N. Company, show that during the past six weeks more than 14,000 people have been brought into Oregon and Washing ton over their lines, says the Journ al. Of this number more than ooe half .came t3 Portland, and were dietriouted from this as a central point. .JJuring the same periou me Southern Pacific has taken from Portland for distribution through out the sections of the stat9 tapped ijj its roads, more than 3,000 nunn B.

Baker City, April 7. Far irom being disturbed or indignant at the finding of the court, Pleas Arm strong is happy. There are no hysterical outbursts of joy on the part of the murderer ol Minnie Ens mingar, but he expresses himself as thoroughly satisfied with the find ings of the law and .says he does not want any appeal taken from the sentence of death that has been pronounced upon him. "I ought to die," he says. "I do not know why I killed the woman I loved and God knows , that even now I love her better than I do life itself. But I did kill her and the sooner they hang me the better. want to have it over." The death watch has beep planed in the cell and until the hanging, which will be on the morning of May 8, never for one moment will the prisoner be left alone. But he talks well, eats heartily and does not weep so much as he did before the trial. Naturally hale and hearty, but for a time depressed, Armstrong seems now to have revived in spir its and to look forward with long ing and welcome for the end. Birmingham, Ala., April 8. The little hamlet of Hopewell, 40 miles north of this city, and one mile from Hanceville, was swept away early this morning by a tornado, vhich cut a path of desolation a 3jiiJe wide and two miles long across a prosperous farming section of Blount county. Ten persona were instantly killed, three or four fatal ly injured and a score seriously in jured. The storm came from the south west tearing everything away in ita way. t Little Rock, Ark., April 8. Specials to the Gazette from sever al towns in White and Cleburne counties, Arkansas, tell of a torna do which swept through that sec tion Tuesday nighty leaving death and destruction in its path. The major portion of the country through which the storm plowed its way is remote from railroads, telegraph or telephone lines. A correspondent writes from Searcy, Ark., tonight that he had gone over a portion of he track of the storm, and .that trees were twisted from their trunks and houses demolish ed. Thus far it has been impossi ble to ascertain where the storm began, but it is known that it raged in those two counties. The latest reports are that nine persons are dead, three dying and three badly injured. The towns of Little Red, Albion, Bradford, Hs bur and Pangburn have been heard from thus far. : Bradford, which is on the Iron Mountain Railroad, was the first point heard from. - Several houses were blown'down there, and one man seriously injured. The torna do came from the west, and had i ita fame hv the time it reach ed Bradford. It is feared the little town of Hiram, with a population of 150, has been wiped off the map. It is near Heber and in the storm's track. ' Nothing has been heard from i"t.- X' special to the" Gazette from HeW says: y, In the tornado. which.wept aeros fbisjaection lasf. bight. A.; C.-Wll-liaOi", living ten m.ils ',8outh qf Heber. ,was killed." Hjs tlwife was badly injured, and -is ot expected, to live. At Panghurn six residences were blawn down. A large church near Patigburp was blown half a mile. Forty-three - residences and 16 barns destroyed and other wreck age is the record of the damage re ported up to 8 o'clock tonight. The tornado swept everything in a path a mile wide. New York, April 8. The Atlas Line Eteamer Alleghany which ar rived today from' Kingston brings news of an eruption of the volcano, Dl Tierra Firma, in Colombia, March 22, in the forenoon. Tiojo village was entirely de stroyed. From 60 to 100 were kill ed outright. The eruption cast sand and ash es 60 miles out to sea. St. Louis, April 8. George J. Gould l-ft St. Louis at 9 o'clock this morning on a special train over tbe Iron Mountain, accompanied by bis sons, Kvnedon and J. Gould and their tutor, Mr. Huntsman. Tbey will travelat the rate of 60 miles an hour over many thousand miles of the Gould system, and the eotire time of the tour, which will last two weeks or. more, will be spent in tbe instruction of the two heirs to the Gould millions in fi nance and railway management. A big table, in the observation room of their father's private car is littered with maps and charts show ing tbe points of iutereats ; on the Gould System. Mr. Huntsman has a complete collection of books to aid him in instructing his youDg charges in the things their lather wishdB them to know. As tbey speed through the vast territory traversed' by the Gould lines the boys will be instructed in the in dustries and commercial features of the country. Mr. Gould took up the same etudies when he was 16 years old and he means to give his sons the same training that was given to him by his father. The boys have been over a large part of the Gould system several times, but this is their first trip designed for study. No itinerary has been announced aod only the membors of the party know where tbey will go. Some times Mr. Gould . says, they may decide on the spur of the moment where they will go next. Mr. Gould will speBd a large part of the time at the study table with bis sons, telling them useful things about the country and cities throush which they pas and ex plaining to them how the profitable operation of a big railroad system is conducted. Seattle, Wash. April 6. Thirty five city officials and prominent citizens of Seattle were arranged before Judge Bell this morning on the indictments recently returned by the grand jury. The list of names reads like a. directory of the public service or the Ranier Club. Included in the bunch were Chief of Police Sullivan Judges Cann and George and thirty-two others. By agreement, the defendants were given until Saturday to plead. Jacob Furth, president of the Seattle Electric Company, and E. L, Sb.nffi.eton. formerly a member ot the City Council, who were in dicted for obtaining a valuable fianchise from the city by fraud, entered demurrers. Judge Bell sustained the demur rers holding that promises made to the City Council and afterward broken did not constitute falsa pre tenses." As a result, the indictments were quashed. . Robbed the Grave. A startling incident is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia as follows: "I was in an awful con dition. My skin was almost ' yel low, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had giv en me up. " Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters: to my great joy the first bottle made a decided improvement. ,1 continued their use for three weeks and I am now a well man. I know they robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. , Only 50 cents. ' . Guaranteed to give sat isfaction by Graham & Wortham, druggists. Nut Butter : .

How Binger did Love Free Silver An old Newspaper Repro- - duces the Sweet things he Said About it "I am ' V- in Full Accord," . he Said. In Corvallis there is an old copy of the Portland Oregonian that stirs uphallowed memories. It almost moves some people to tears. It brings to mind that happy time when Binger Hermann, the new standard bearer of "Sound Money" was hotter on the scent otfree silver than was ever a Tom cat on the trail of a wounded dove. This old Oregonian contains an interview in, Washington with Mr. Hermann, then in Congress. The article is dated May 4th. and the paper May 9, 1890 In the course of the interview Mr. Hermann spoke of his devotion to free silver with such tears of fervor and love as to fill the soul of our own Mr. Bryan with the sweetest and most adolescent dreams of delight, The article runs thus: -. ' .; Washington, May 4 (Oregonian Office, corner Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue.) Repre eerrtethretHermaxm;' being;; inter; vieweoaas;ta the? sifverr oilL , the basisiCtf whicftwas.-agjreedupoa by the caucus actietr.of the republicans of the houses said that' rmicbr- con sideration bad been given this matter in previous : caacuses, and that much was yielded up by both the radical and conservative sides so that this might be termed a compromise with its strongest lean tngs to the radical silver advocates, Those of us who represented the West view insisted chiefly that the treasury notes issued for silver bul lion purchased should be redeem able in lawful money of the United States. This was a recognition of the equality of silver with gold, the gist of the entire contest, Ad ded to this is the provision for the purchase of four and a half millions of silver bullion, which will com mend it strongly to the surer pro ducing states. These features are great victories for the Western sen timent and a long advance of pres ent legislation. The people have complained, and justly too, that so long as any diecretion was lett tne treasury department as to purchase of silver only the minimum was purchased and this in violation of the spirit of the . law where coin may be paid rtpon various obliga tions of the government, yet that it so happens that only gold is con sidered coin by tbe . secretary and silver is reserved for the coin mon ey of the people. So true is it that the gold in the treasury all goes to these partially paid bond holders that none is seen in cir culation east of the ' Mississippi river and but little east of the Rocky mountains. Indeed, to some members of congress a $20 gold piece would be a curiosity here in the capital of the na tion! We now feel that the law should be mandatory in these es sential particulars and above all there should be a definite under standing precisely what amount of bullion should be ' purchased an nually and hence the words, "to purchase from time to time silver bullion to the aggregate amount of 4,500,000 ounces of free silver : in each month," This is in striking contrast with the existing law, which 'requires the "monthy pur chase and coinage of silver bullion into silver dollars of "not less than $2,000600 nor more than $4,000,- 000 worth of silver bullion." Another benefit to accrue from the present bill will be the res toration of the circulating coin of the country of $78,000 now held as reserve fund for redemption of national bank circulation. ' VI" feel myself in accord ; with the ptatform recently adopted by the republican state convention df Ore gon, which declared "in favor -of the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and denounce any attempt to discriminate against silver as un wise and unjust." Our people bf the West' demand the remonetiza tion of silver. They think it has been unjustly, unnecessarily, in juriously and too long demonetiz ed. v: I believe the bill v at present agreed upon is the nearest approach to a practical realization of this declaration ofjthe Oregon platform and the public demand at the pres ent moment, and & a - fair and sat isfactory compromise . until the near future shall justify a '- more radical course. - . - The Star lullbackr t K (Contributed.)
