among the best of her class. She was heard
in six solos, three being encores, giving a
varioty ef selections displaying the wonder
ful compass of a very rich contralto voice,
one that is full of force whether low or
strong. Miss elkirk sings without effort,
almost noncnaianiiy.'ana jt displaying n
cultivation that speaks for the real earnest

particularly fortunate in having the privi

Fatal Socfflino Accidkst. Two
brothers, John and Henry Kay-burn, ltave
been living on a farm about four miles east
of Sublimity. The former who is 30 years
old is a farmer; the latter is a plasterer by
trade and is five yean older. They have
had trouble several times but it has always
been the fault of Henry. Last Tuesday
morning Henry got up about 5 o'clock to
build a fire- A few minutes later John
came into the room; and noticing that the
fire was not burning very well, be poked it
with a stick. The older brother took offence
at this and without a word of warning
siezed his brother and tried to throw him
down. The other, being the quicker tf the
two, resisted the attempt and instead of
being thrown he threw his brother. The
wrestling match commenced again as soon
as Henry could regain his feet but the third
time that John threw him Henrv lay quite
still, complaining of a severe pain in his
back. As he seemed Itadly hurt Dr Kitchen
was summoned from Stayton. who reported
that the man's spine was injured. They
nut him in bed, and did all they could for
him. but he kept getting worse and died

neighbors blame John Reybum in the least.

Thk Oregon Pacific -A formal sale of
the Oregon Pacific is being arranged for
about Dec. 1st, the object being to deter
mine the relative rights of the different
creditors. Several things indicate action
on the road. People say the recent trip of
the union f acme special indicated some
thing: but then speoial trips are becoming
cliestnuttv. It is now learned, says an ex
change, that a surveying party has itist ar
rived ut The Dalles after a seven-weeks trio
through Kastern Oregon, their object lieing
to timl a teasible route tor a railroad from
that point through the interior to the line
of the Oregon Pacific in Iake county. Just
who is behind the project it iB impossible at
present to state, but officials of both the
Northern Pacific and I won Pacific in thi
city disclaim any connection with the en
terprise, lhe surveyors followed the Lieu
tenant Norton survey from lhe Dalles to
the Deschutes, which was found to be the
most difficult part of the proposed road, but
the average grade will not exceed CO feet to
the mile. Striking that river at the agency
ferry, thev followed up the stream to the
mouth of Crooked river, a distance of 20
miles. From this point they went to Prine
ville. in Crook county, 45 miles distant.
The first 20 miles has no grade to exceed SO
feet, and from that distance to the town
mentioned the land is comparatively level

arrived home late last night. Thev
were absent three weeks, and from what
can be learned spent most of their time

places. On one occasion they were so far
from the baaeof operations and uncertain
as to their whereabouts that thev dared
not shoot game for fear of violating the
game taws ol California. Seven deer
and a bear fell victims to their prowess,

second annual race meeting at the fair

in fixing up the track, so that it is now
one of the fastest tracks on the North

by the Southern Pacific for this meeting

A Goon Report. Some time ago the
Democrat stated that an application bad
been made for the resumption of business
by the Linn County National Bank, but
that it would probably not be done until
matters picked up some in the fall. The
Democrat is now informed that this will
be done within a few weeks. Financial
matters have improved sufficiently to make
the move a safe one, and it is one that will
lie of general benefit to the community. It
. i to be hoped it may prove true.
Ofk tii e Track. Engine No 4 on the
i iregon Pacific was rounding the curve on
the switch near the Red Crown mills this
morning when the rails spread, throwing
the engine off the track except the front
leaders and one drive wheel. The track at
this place is weak, and one man remarked
hardly strong enough for a handearto trav
el oyer safely. It required several hours
work to get it on again.

Thk Reasons. Referring to the state
ment in the Courier late week, which said
that Phil Nets k Co expected to gather W.-
000 pound of hops from their 2-acre yard
toe Aiumy kkmockat asks:
"Why is U that a few Linn county yard
have onlr neUcd 30M or O0 pound to the
acre? Three reasons may be given for such
unprofitable crops: In the first place there
is some land used that is wholly unfit for
hop land, in the second place there never
was a soil that was cultivated year after
year that will give the best results unWca
fertilized: and lastly, there are growers
who are never able to remember Mr J odd
statement that "weeds will not grow in the
snaoe ot nop. Harnsburg Courier.
Wast a Receive.- Receiver BealL of
the Linn County National Bank, has made
an application for the appointment of a re
ceiver to take charge of the property of J L
Cowan's Lebanon bank. The Express says:
The complaint of Mr Beall not only ques
tions the legality of the transaction, but also
barges Mr Cowan and the trustees with
bad faith, and with the attempt to defraud
the, Linn County National Ben. No one,
acquained with the circumstances. will for a
moment believe this, and if the case de
pended upon that question alone there would
be no doubt as to the outcome. The trus
tees, we understand, will defend their posi
tion and not permit it to go by default.
Decidkdlv Primitive. The Eugene
Journal tells the following. A primitive
outfit passed onr office Tuesday afternoon,
consisting of a low wheeled wagon without
a cover, containing a few boxes and some
rolls of bedding hud on boards, with a
young woman and four small children
perched up among the bedding. It was
drawn by a yoke of oxen and a young man
walked in front and led the near ox with a
rope fastened to a ring in the nose. The
woman got out in the mud to bold the ox in
the street while the man purchased some
feed, and the children then got out and
were all barefooted and bare legged up to
their knees. They started off walking, the
woman carrying the gun and the man lead
ing the ox.

SEW YOST LETTER,
New Yokk, September !5ib,l893.
Once more the gallant yacht men hold
sway in the beautiful harbor which leads
to America's great metropolis. Several
years fiave elapsed since lie English
sportsmen have mustered courage enough
to send over a boat to try for the cup held
by America. Since the Valkyrie left
Kngland, to try for the cup, which the
Americans will defend, local yachtsmen
have been preparing for the trial races.
Last Saturday the first race was run over
the triangular course, in the lower bay.
The contestants were the Colonia Jubilee
and Pilgrim, of the Boston Yacht Cluo,
and the Vigilant, of the New York Yacht
Club. The Vigilant won Saturday as
well as on Monday. The gallant craft
cleanly outsailed her Boston antagonists
and waa chosen as the defender of the
trophy won by the Mayflower, Volunteer
and J'uritan. this is the tirst time that
the defender of the honor of American
yachtsmen hails from New York. All
the previous yachts have come from 'Jos
ton, and it is natural that the members
and friends of the New ork Yacht club
are jubilant. The two race called into

ver bullion in the treasury ''' ak a corre
spondent of The Journal. It is the excess
of bullion over the amour.t coined in silver
dol'ars under the operation of the Illand
Allison and Sherman acts regulating the
coinage of silver. The govertrnent paid
the market price for the silver it purchased,
bat necessarily coined it, as long as the
coinage continued, on the existing ratio of
16 to f , as compared with gold. Han
ounce of silver was purchased for 90 cents,
its coinage value being 91,29, the seignior
age amounted to 39 cents, and this is called
"government profit" by some, as it would
be if the value of silver remained at 90
cents an ounce and the government was
able tc maintain the parity of the two met
als. Webster defines the term as follows:
seigniorage is something claimed or j
taaen oy virtue ot sovereign prerogative:
specifically, a charge or toll deducted from
bullion brought to a mint to ne coinjd.
John Stuart Mill, one of the greatest of
the economic writers of modern limes, says:
government, however, throws the ca
se of coinage, es is reaassisblg.
tne notaers, by making a charge to cover
the expense (which is done by giving back
rather less than is received in bullion, and
is called 'levying a seigniorage'), the coin
will rise to the extent of the seigniorage
above the value of the bullion."
This is, no doubt, the basis for the claim
o! the advocates of free silver coinage, that
with such free coinage the price of
silver wouid naturally rise to its ratio ral -ae.
That would be the case, perhaps, if
he market price were bat little below the
ratio value, bat it is a theory that cannot
s'aad when the depreciation is 40 per cent
or more, as in the case of silver at the
present time. . The United States has been
buying silver for fifteen years on a cost
stantly falling market. According to a re
cent treasury statement the silver bullion
in the treasury has cost the govern men, on
an average about 93 cent aa ounce, while
Use present price is bit 73 cents or a trifle
more, thus the government has sustained
a net loss of 20 cents an ounce on all the
silver bullion that it has purchased since
1878, and the "seigniors ge" is reduced by
that figure. If silver continues to fall the
government low will increase rapidly, be
cause it will attach to every ounce that was
purchased at higher figures.
The idea of coining the seigniorage in
the treasury at the present time means
that the go 'era me -H shall coin into silver
dollars and pot into circulation ail the ex
es of bullion over the amount by sreibt
hich enter into the composition of the
silver in circulj'i.vn agunst it, wanting
