FOREST GROVE! March 28. The City Council, at a special meeting held last night, unanimously voted that they would permit no further proceedings in the drug store liquor prosecution, which has just been heard on appeal In the Circuit Court and resulted in a hung jury. A peculiar ity of the case was that, though It was begun in Forest Grove's name and ex penses were run up against the city, the municipal authorities were not consulted in its management. It was promised that the case would be withdrawn, and the city will pay the bills, except the attorney's fees, which were guaranteed by the com mittee. The expense for witnesses on the appeal aggregated over 5100. Delphos Lodge, No. 29, Knights of Pyth ias, celebrated last night the ninth an niversary of Its institution. Major J. P.

He ex pects to make more money on his 10 or 15 acres which he reserves, in the poultry business, thaa he formerly made on his whole farm, and with less drudgery and worry.'' TWO TWO-HOUR SPEECHES COLONEL TV. J. BRYAN'S FIRST DAY'S "WORK IN OREGON. Spoke to a Large Crovrd at Albany la the Morning and at Salem in the Afternoon. SALEM, March 23. William Jennings Bryan spoke at Marlon, Square, in this city, today, .before an audience estimated at SOX people. Prominent Democrats had expected 20,000 people, but they failed to materialize. The audience was made up of about one third men and the other two-thirds women and children. Mr. Bryan was met at Albany by a re ception committee consisting of D. C. Sherman, George S. Downing and George W. Weeks. On his arrival In Salem he was met at the train by a band and car riages and escorted to the square. About 200 people were at the depot when the tram arrived. At the park, after a vocal solo by Halite Parrlsh Hinges, the speaker was intro duced by Hon. J. A. Jeffrey, who maao no preliminary address. Before beginning his address Mr. Bryan suggested that all present keep their hats on, and asked the privilege of wearing his awn, which he did. His address occupied about two hours. As a preliminary remark he said that if any policy he had ever advocated were hurtful to the country he would discard it. The general trend of his argument was that the people have In these days put capital above labor, to the degradation of humanity, and that Republicans have de parted from their hatred of the monarchi cal form of government. He said that Mark Hanna is the Republican party; that Hanna says the English form of govern ment Is as good as ours and perhaps bet ter, and that the party approves his opin ion by not raising a 'protest against the leadership of this friend of the monarchi cal form of government. In pursuance of his argument as to the relation of capital to labor and to gov ernment, he touched on tho Boer question, and from that went to the income tax. He cited a number of instances in which he claimed the Republican party had changed Its position. Among these were the position of McKInley on the Puerto Rlcan bill. When this subject was handled the crowd cheered vociferously, as they did every time a hard hit was made at McKInley or Mark Hanna. It was very noticeable that the audience was made up very largely of Republicans, for when Mr. Bryan espoused any of the Democratic principles there was seldom any applause. Attacks upon the Republican party fared very little better, but whenever a happy hit was made at McKInley or Hanna the crowd was ready to applaud. On iho sil ver question he said that the Republican party had burled the question every year since 1S92, hut that he had felt the pulse of the corpse and found It strong enough to Indicate that the question would live another year. In discussing the financial bill and the National banks, Mr. Bryan quoted the proverb of Solomon, which he changed to a slang phrase to amuse the people of Ashland. At the end of the first hour of the ad dress the crowd was rapidly melting away, and he resorted very frequently to humorous stories, which invariably ex cited laughter. When his stock of stories ran low he used a few such absurdities as the statement that the Republicans claimed credit for every good crop that is produced. These sayings did not take well with the audience, and Mr. Bryan went back to the trusts, the existence of which he attributed to the Republican party. He said that the party now In power has an opportunity to destroy the trusts, and refuses to do so. He outlined his own plan of a National commission, authorized to license corporations that do "business out of their own state, a license to be refused to any trust corporations. His denunciations of the trusts received some applause,but his subsequent remarks on the same subject were not accorded that approval. From the trusts he turned to the ques tion of Imperialism, which he said Is the proper name for what people call "expan sion." He said he was not willing that the civilization of this country should be dragged down by having injected into it the ignorance and superstition of the Malay people. His inference seemed, to be that there Is danger of the Filipinos inter marrying with Americans and thus de grading the race. The subject of im perialism and militarism, which he said wont together, furnshed a theme for his peroration. He grew eloquent in an appeal to the mothers who lost sons in the Phil ippines, and charged the lives lost against the Republican party. ,, After the close of the address Mr. Bryan shook hands with a few of tho people who were nearest him, and then hurried Into a carriage, In which he was taken to the train. It Is remarked by Republicans that Bryan's address here has not injured the changes of the Republican party, though the severe lashing that was given McKIn ley and Hanna are thought to have had some effect upon the chances of McKIn ley for support from this state for re nomlnatlon. It Is also noted that not nearly all the people at leisure attended the speaking today. The streets were crowded all the time Bryan was speaking, and it Is esti mated that by the time the address closed there were more people on the streets than were in Marlon Square. Republicans say that his argument shows greater weakness than It did In 1S96. Ho left for Portland on the 4:14 train. The public schools were closed during the afternoon in honor of the distinguished visitor. t BRYAN AT ALBANY. Special Trains Were Loaded, Bat Crowd Smaller Than Expected. ALBANY, Or., March 2S. W. J. Bryan arrived hero this morning at 9:S0, and was met by a citizen reception commit tee and escorted to the Revere House. After holding an Informal reception at the hotel, he was conveyed In a carriage, led by the band and a few men on horse back, to the Courthouse grounds, where a small staiTd had been erected and from which Mr. Bryan spoke for two hours. The attendance was not up to the ex pectations of the committee, who had an ticipated a large crowd. Tho audience wag variously estimated at from 5000 to 10,000 people. Besides many coming from the countryTtwo special trains brought crowds from Lebanon and Yaqulna Bay. In his address, he treated the subjects of man before the dollar, the flopping of Repub licans by command, "blmetallsm," the Na tional bank system, trusts and the rem edy. Income tax, militarism, the Puerto Rico tariff bill, and expansion and Imper ialism. He charged the Republican party with the encouragement of trusts, and for their suppression advocated, that they be controlled by the Federal Govern ment through the Interstate commerce act. Mr. Bryan drew a distinction be tween Imperialism and expansion, and attempted to show that the Republican party was for imperialism and not expan sion. He proposed that the Philippine Islands be given their Independence, and, under the protection of the United States, oe allowed to work out their own des tiny. Tho day was practically a holiday, the schools closing during the forenoon- At 12 o'clock, accompanied by a number from this city and a delegation from Salem, Mr. Bryan was taken on a special train to Salem. Mixed Tralnload From Corvallis. CORVALLIS, March 28. It was a pic turesque train that went out of here this morning with excursionists to see Bryan at Albany. The railroad company had calculated that two coaches would be sufficient to accommodate the crowd., After these coaches had been added to the train, and after every spot that would accommo date a, passenger was occupied, a large number of people, all provided with tick ets, still stood on the platform. Recourse was then had to boxcars, and as the train finally pulled out, after half an hour's delay, it comprised three coaches, a baggage-car and two boxcars. Not only were the platforms, aisles and seats packed with people, but passengers occupied places on top of the boxcars, on the wood, on the tender, and on 'the cowcatcher. The train left the station with 449 people on board. Cordial "Welcome at TVoodbarn. WOODBURN. Or., March 2S. Colonel William J.

Large Reward Was Offered for the Beast, Which Was Finally Slain by an iBdian. LAKEVIEW. Or., March 24.-&Irs. T. J. La Brie, who Is staying in Lakeview, re ceived a letter from her husband today stating that a grizzly bear, which, has made itself notorious in this county for the past 20 years, was killed near Hager Peak, In the northwest corner of the county, near the Klamath County line. His hide measures nine feet in length and ho was 10 Inches between the ears. His weight was nearly 2000 pounds. His tracks in the snow measured 12x18 inches. The whole northern portion of this county is rejoicing over tho capture. The hear ranged for about 30 miles in the mountain fastnesses and came down In the valleys and preyed upon sheep, cattle and horses. He has raided hundreds during hia career, having slain as many as 12 sheep in one night. The ranchers have had a standing reward of $200 for him for a number of years, and besides there have been rewards offered by private Individ uals. On the 10th oi this month a large party of hunters, roused on account of his num erous depredations In the past winter, started out to capture him. Among the number was Billy Ball, a Klamath Indian, and he it was who slew the animal after la six days' hunt. The Indian Is a wealthy rancher, and had suffered as much damage as any one from the bear's depredations, and by stealth succeeded In creeping upon the beast and firing until he had finished him. Hundreds have hunted him before for the sake of reward", but no,one had ever brought Wood. Experienced hunters had come from a distance, but had failed, and there are many who had come upon him in previous years while hunting for him, and his terrible size and ferocious appear ance prevented them from shooting, for to shoot and fall meant almost certain death to the hunter. The hide is now on exhibition In Silver Lake, In this county, and Billy Ball, the Indian, Is the hero of the hour in two counties. HOW A BIG FELLOW WAS KILLED. Party of Hunters Rid Lake County Stockmen of a Destructive Beast. Prlnevllle Review. For 12 or 14 years the people of Sllvle's Creek and SIcan had suffered the loss of a large amount of stock, killed by a large grizzly bear which roamed the country south of Silver Lake, and it Is estimated that bruin has made an average killing of 50 head of cattle each year. A good many attempts have been made to km this grizzly. As high as 5250 has been offered for his scalp. He has been seen many times and all reported him to be a monster in size, so it was rather a delicate undertaking to attack hlra. But at last the people of that vicinity de termining to have his scalp, sent over for W. T. Vandevert, who lives on the Deschutes, and he went over and took his bear dogs, and a determined crowd started for bruin's scene of operation. On Friday of last week his track was dis covered, and on Sunday afternoon he was trailed to his den In the upper end of Thompson Valley, about 16 miles south of Silver Lake. The party consisted of W.

How Retention of County Seat Was Accomplished In Early Days. HDL.LSBORO, Or., March 28. It Is not generally known that Hillsboro owes her distinction of being the county seat of Washington to David Hill, one of the orig inal settlers of this place. Hill had taken up a donation claim covering a part of the present townsite. This city was then the county . seat of a large territory, the countyembraclng all of what Is now Mult nomah. A movement was on to have the county divided, and Hillsboro people were afraid that as soon as the new county, Multnomah, was e3tabllshedr the county seat might be moved to Forest Grove. Hill conceived the Idea of permitting the com missioners of Washington County to file on a part of his claim, which the law permitted. This scheme was followed out, but It was years before the county was given a patent. The county filed on the strip, early In 1S30, but the patent was not signed until Grant was President. Hill died early In the year of 1850, and his widow married Wheelock Simmons, who still lives in this city, at the advanced age of SO years, with the prospect of living 20 more. The land In question was la dispute even after the county had filed with the per mission of Hill. W. S. Caldwell, the County Clerk, tried hard to make a second filing work with tho Government, and thus set aside the hopes of Hill. A com promise was finally effected, and Caldwell withdrew. The present site of the Court house was donated by Isaiah Kelsay, a pioneer, whose claim joined Hill's. Tho land patented was subsequently sold to townspeople and the county now owns not a foot of the grant. The case of Forest Grove vs. Charles Miller was dismissed this morning upon motion of Hon. S. B. Huston, counsel for the city. As the jury which tried the case had disagreed, it was deemed usele3 again to go to trial. This liquor case has attracted much attention, as upon the re sult hinged the pro'oabillty of stopping the sale of liquor in drug stores. Xnharmony In Lakevievr School. LAKEVIEW. Or., March 24. The Lakeview public school will close next Friday, by order of the school board, six weeks before the end of the term. This order was made by the board on request from the primary teachers, because of "Indisposition" of teachers and pupils. It Is said by friends of the nrinclnal of the school. J. L. Smith, that this step Is taken by the board In order to depose him. Recently charges were made against him and he defended himself before the board and defeated the charges, and now that the .school Is ordered closed.
