J. KNOTT PIOXBER. PASSES AWAY Df HIS EAST SIDE HOME. ' His Deceue 1eave 'n. Vacancy Multnomah Deleeraticm "to legislature. in Andrew Jackson Knott, a worthy and "well-toiown Oregon pioneer of 1850, and Representative from Multnomah County to the Oregon Legislature, died at his borne on East Washington and East Eighth street, shortly after 12 o'clock Sunday night, after an illness which began FWday, September 7. Tho Sunday following the commencement of his sick ness he was in a very serious condition from obstruction of the bowels, and it was then thought he could not recover, but tho first of last week, on Tuesday, there was an improvement, and during the week till last Sunday evening Ms con dition continued to Improve, and indicated that ho would recover. Sunday evening his family were very hopeful that the Improvement of the week was perma nent, but a change for the worse occurred at 12 o'clock, and he passed away. Mr. Knott was born in Ohio, Novem ber 25, 1S34, and was a son of Joseph Knott, who was a native of New Jer sey, born in 1809, of ancestors who were among the colonists. His father was married to Miss Elizabeth C. "Wilson, of New Jersey, and to them six children were born. Mr. Knott and Mrs. E. J. Einnlcan. of 6an Francisco, until the death of the for mer, Trere the survivors. In 1850, when 15 years old, Mr. Knott started with his parents for Oregon in wagons drawn by oxen across the plains, one team being driven by him. They arrived at Port land in the Fall of 1850. The family io--cated in the town of Canyonville, Doug las County, where they engaged in min ing and trading miners' supplies. From Canyonville they moved to Scottsburg, whore they engaged largely in the same business, besides packing supplies to the jnines.- In 1854 the Knotts- bought in Company, which greatly helped settle ment on the east bank of the" Willam ette. He erected in the early days what was then the finest1 residence on tho East Side. He was married in 1853 to Miss Mary E. Tibbetts who still survives him. At the last June election Mr. Knott was elected Representative on the Citi zens ticket. He had. always been a Demo crat, and is one" of the few Democrats who had been elected to the Legislature from Multnomah County for a number of years. Since the election his time has been largely taken up with people who called to see him to ask some favor at his hands or to get his favorable consid eration for some measure. It is thought that the consequent strain tended to break him down, and "left him unprepared to resist the attack of the disease that carried him off. Every one who called to see ilm received cordial and courteous treatment. The children who survive Mr. Knott are as follows: Mrs. Fred M Stephens, Cfor don H., Walter, Harry H., George, Mrs. Lute C. McCormlck, Mrs. John W. Pha lon, of( San Francisco, The vacancy caused by the death of Representative Knott will be filled at a special election. Section 17, article 5, of the constitution makes it the duty of the Governor to "issue writs of election to All such vacancies as may have occurred in the Legislative Assembly." It rests "with Governor Geer to name the date of holding the special election. To save ex pense to the country, he may see fit to call the election on the same day on which the Presidential election will be held. Elections in recent years to fill vacancies in Multnomah County's Legisla tive delegation have been held as fol lows: In 18SG, for Representative in place of D. W. Taylor, who resigned to become United States Surveyor-General, and In 189S, for Senator, in place of Joseph Si mon, who resigned to become United State Senator. DAN LAMONT HERE. Cleveland's Secretary of War Re face to Talk Politics. Colonel 'Daniel Lamont, Secretary of "War in Cleveland's last term, spent yes terday in Portland with a party of East erners from New York City. Colonel Lamont is now first vice-president of the kirn in iwii in nil uii iiwn?jasji3uj.iiaaaBusBaaMMSaMBM""MMM AJTDitEw j. raronv Douglas County 1600 acres of land and engaged in stockraising until 1S5S, when they sold out their interests in Douglas County and moved to Portland, where thoy conducted a meat market till 1860 at the corner of Ash and Front streets. Mr. Knott then engaged in mining in vari ous portions of the state. In 1851 the Knotts purchased the Stark-etreet ferry, which finally passed into the hands of tho decaesed man and his brother, and they operated it until the construction of free bridges destroyed the ferry busi ness. For a great many years it was the principal means of crossing tho Willam ette River at Portland. In the early days the Knotts had much to do with the Indians of Southern Ore gon, but they never had troublo with them, and always retained their good-will. Andrew Knott could speak the Indian language well, and at one time acted as interpreter for General Joseph Lane, and his services in that capacity and that of a volunteer soldier were of great value to the young Territory of Oregon. Mr. Knott also made himself useful in aid ing the early settlers in finding farms as they arrived from the East and knew nothing of the country. Mr. Knott was Identified with the growth of East Portland. He was &ne of the organizers of the East Portland Gas Northern Pacific Railway, and his visit to the Coast, he said last evening, was one of pleasure and sightseeing. He took great pride in showing his friends about the city and telling them of Its prosperity and grand future. George S. Bowdoln, a partner in the firm of J. Pierpont Mor gan, and S. B. French had never been in Oregon before, and expressed them selves as astonished at its growth and enterprise. Colonel Lamont derived his title from having been a member of Mr. Cleveland's staff when that gentleman was Governor of New York. Ho was President Cleveland's private secretary during the first administration, and in the socond was promoted to the -office of Sec rotary of War. He is a well-preserved man of 50, under the medium stature, and very pleasant, though positively declining to talk on politics or business. He says he has retired from the former, and would not even venture to prophesy how New York was going next November. The party left last night in their private car, Olympla, for Buffalo, N. Y., via the Can adian Pacific Railroad. Persons whose occupation gives but lit tle exercise are victims of torpid liver and constipation.

Metcalf, superintendent of tho of money ordor matters. He also had a money order system of the United States, spent a part of Sunday In this city and left that evening for San Francisco. While he was htere he looked through the money order department of the post-, office, and was so much pleased with' the condition of things that he com plimented Mr. Whltehousc, the superin tendent, very highly on his knowledge talk with Postmaster Croasman in regard to the desirability of money order offices doing business thorough the clearing house. He said in case this Is dono he will Increase the reserve allowed the of fice here from $1000 to say $5000. Post master Croaseman, who has been working on this proposition for some time, had a consultation with the clearing house of ficers yesterday, and they will hold a meeting today to vote on the subject, and there Is ut little doubt about their decision being favorable. In all the prin cipal cities of the country the money or der office does business through the clear ing houBe, and it is found to be a great convenience to all concerned. Of course, every bank receives more or less money orders yearly in the course of business. Now, each bank has to send these money orders to the .postofflce to bo cashed. . When the office does busi ness through tho clearing house all these money orders will bo taken by one bank In the clearing house and It will be then necessary for only one person to go to the postofflce to cash them all. The First National Bank being a United States de pository will probably be chosen to take and pay all money orders If the clearing house approves of the proposition under consideration.
