W. A. McPherson, at one time a
prominent journalist of Oregon, has
been adjudged mildly insane and taken
to the asylum for treatment. Some
years ago he had a splendid intellect

has gradually descended from the high
position which he once occupied in
the affairs of the state in spite of the
tireless efforts of his friends. He pos
sesses a kindly and genial disposition
and is much beloved by his old-time
acquaintances. In his more- prosper
ous days, through the newspapers with
which he was connected, he did good
service for Oregon. He has written,
many pleasing verses and now that the
evening of life is casting its shad
ows across his pathway, the concluding
verse of his- lines entitled- '"Oregon,"
is brought to memory.
Dear land, thou art mine; I inherit
All the title to call thee mine own,
And share with the friends of iny childhood
Within thy wide limits a home.
And when the last mandate is given,
That bids me from lalor to rest,
All I ask, save an entrance in heaven, -
la to sleep on thy broad, peaceful breast..

Rev. A. Rogers has tendered his res
ignation as pastor of the Congregation
al church of this city to take effect
about the first of September. Persons
of Mr. Rogers' ability and power of or
atory are not numerous aud his resig
nation may prove to be a serious loss
to the cause of Christ in this com
munity. It is claimed that some of the evan
gelists who predicted the destruction f
Oakland, Cal., and other localities, are
paying Oregon a visit. Tliey should
be mindful of their own fate if they
make any rash prophecies concerning
any of our towns. We shall not allow
the boom spirit to be retarded in any
such manner.

On Saturday last a freight train on
the Southern Pacific was wrecked at
Willsburg station, five miles from Port
land. Four freight cars were derailed
and badly smashed. The wreck-was
caused by a large rock from one of the
cars loaded with building stone falling
m front of the car. Mrs. Delia Ander
son, a laily of 65 years of age, who was
standing on the platform, presumably
waiting for the passenger train due in
a short time, was struck by flying tim
bers and so badly injured that she died
in a few hours afterwards. A little
girl who was with her barely escaped.
The annual meeting of tho Oregon
Press Association at the metropolis
Aug. 14 and 15 promises to be the
most attractive one yet held. The
Portland people are making arrange
ments to entertain the editors in fine
style. They will have access to the
cupboard at "The Portland" hotel
rates $75 per month and sleep there
too, at the expense of the eity, and will
have free access to all. the theatres;
also a free river ride to Astoria and tht
beach when they will be toasted and
"clammed," and other things too num
erous to mention all free. Tidii-gs.
Lawn- Sociable. A lawn social
was given in the court house yard
Wednesday evening, by the ladies of
the Evangelical church, for the benefit
of the Sunday school. Lemonade,
cake, candies, and other refreshments
were served in the open air, and the
large gathering enjoyed the occasion
very much. The liberality with which
the band poured forth the entrancing
music was not less gratifying to those
present than the liberal quantity of
ice cream they received for a quarter.
The receipts above expenses amounted
to $22.00.
Wouldn't Keep Up The proprie
tors have ceased the publication of the
Daily Dallas Observer, and the paper
will hereafter be issued in weekly form.
One or two good weeklies, well ediied
and well printed, is creditable to the
average Oregon town, but then, news
oaper meu are such enterprising and
enthusiastic fellows that many of them
branch out far ahead of the require
ments of the times, and the public,
failing to increase its pace correspond
ingly, our brethren fail in their object.
It takes a lively community to keep
up with the newspapers' band wagon.
Cruelty to Animals On Monday
Charley Reed wanted to go home at the
close of the afternoon performance of
the circus, and when everything was in
apparent readiness to start one of his
horses concluded that he would remain
until after the evening entertainment
and possibly longer. An altercation
followed which lesulted in the horse
receiving a sound beating. Dan Fos
ter, who witnessed the difficulty, at
tached his oath to a complaint charging
Reed with cruelty to animals and the
case was heard by Justice Carlile and
a jury on Wednesday. The jury disa
greed, and the case will come up again
this (Friday) morning.
The Circus. The majority of peo
ple have learned not to expect as
much of circuses as is indicated by thS
gorgeous displays on the bill boards
and about that number was satisfied
with Robinson's show on Monday.
The person who imagines that a show
is reflected on the sides of barns will
not get the worth of his money when he
attends. The advertisements are more
attractive than they were years ago,
and there is a greater stretch of canvas,
but the elephant is much like he was
then; the hyena is still a restless ani
mal ami the old lion is as docile as
ever. Those who saw the circus of
twenty years ago saw the circus of to
day. In all their "combinations" they
seldom obtain anything new which is of
much interest.
A Cowardly Act. As Mr. Som
mers was about to enter his room on
Main street Monday night some person
concealed near the door struck him a
fearful blow across the face with some
sort of a weapon that made him thii.k
the heavens were ablaze. A numer of
painful gashes were made where the
facial bones were most prominent, and
the flesh about the left eye is greatly
discolored. Mr. Somers confesses
that at the time the identity of bis as
sailant did not interest him so much
as getting into a place of safety. It is
believed that the act was perpetrated
by some one who wished to even up
on Mr. Somers for the part he took, as
prosecuting attorney, in suppressing
the gambling which would have been
rife during the stay of the circus had
it not been for the attitude of the au
thorities. Let it Drop. The real estate man
whose departure from the path of rec
titude was spoken of in this paper last
week, makes a general denial in the
Albany Democrat, of the statements
concerning him. The paper adds:
"The matter will undoubtedly be ex
plained by the Gazette itself to the
vindication of Mr. Beardsley. else we
predict something will dtop." Well,
let it drop. It is discovered that some
people entertain a good opinion of the
gentleman, but they must not flatter
themselves that the statements pub
lished in the Gazette "are infamous
falsehoods," and Mr. Beardsley will not
insist on having them proven. What
ever explanations are due his friends
should be made by himself. The Ga
zette has no desire to injure the char
acter of any reputable person, but
frauds are not unknown in Oregon,
ind when any stranger commits fraud
ulent acts in a community he can with
propriety be treated as one.

BOBBED OF A LARGE SUM.
An old gentleman was buncoed
out of $5,000 last Tuesday at Sa
lem. Following is the Albany
Herald's account of the transaction
as given by its Salem correspond
ent under date of July 30:
S. W. R. Jones, a wealthy farm
er and land owner living north of
the city, yesterday evening was
confidenced out of $5,000 in gold
in a bold swindle. Jones came
here this morning and carried a lit
tle tin box which he supposed con
tained $15,000, but which instead
was filled with a couple of stones.
A man and a woman, representing
themselves to be wealthy, called to
buy his farm a few days ago, and
while en route to Salem yesterday
met another man representing
himself to be a Louisiana lottery
agent, who induced Jones to in
vest in a ticket. He did and drew
$5. He drew again and got $5.
000, which the agent said he could
not pay unless he knew that Jones
was worth that amount, whereon
Jones came here and borrowed
$5000. He then went and met
the supposed agent, who pretend
ed to put $10,000 in gold and
bonds in a tin box with Jones'
money, and then gave him the box
to keep saying they would meet
in Salem to day and cash the
ticket. By a neat legerdemain he
changed the tin boxes on the gull
ible Jones, giving him one con
taining rocks and making way
with his money. Jones thought
the game was honest till he came
here with the box and found no
man with a key for it ready to
open it and cash his check. He
broke into the box and was para
lyzed at finding nothing but cruel
stones. He offers $500 for the ap
prehension of the lottery agent,
with no show of ever hearing of
him.
On the 26th ult. James L. Hay
wood, of Portland, driver of a wag
on for the Northern Pacific Ex
press Co., met with an accident
which, it is thought, will undoubt
edly result in his death. He was
riding in an express wagon which
had to pass under a large supply
hose used by an engine to pump
water on a smouldering fire. Hay
wood neglected to duck his head
in time, and was caught under the
chin, and before the team could be
stopped he was twisted double,
causing a complete dislocation of
his spine between the lourth and
filth dorsals.
Sash, Doors, Etc. Having made
extensive arrangements for ma
chinery and material, I will be pre
pared on April 1, 1890, to do all
