A largely signed petition will be scut to the department, . and under the present administration it may be effective. . I Bellfountaiu is the old name of the precinct and that is ibe name desired for the postoffiee. Whan the office was es tablished the authorities at Washington would not accept Bellfountaiu a the uavae, saying it was too long, so Dusty was substituted.

CONFLICTING OPINIONS. Will Kerr's Death the Subject of Another Sensation. The knowledge that George Webber held insurance on the life ef Will Kerr when the latter was killed by the explos ion of a stick of giant powder, to which sad accident Webber was the only wit ness, has aroused new interest in the tragedy, and has been the foundation for more or less open charges, cruel, if un true. The theories now freely propounded, are sensational in the extreme, -and thus are readily received by the public mind. In the-.e cases the mere accusation is hUf proof to many aud. an inventive mind can readily weave a -chain of cir cumstantial evidence to fit the theory..; This pap?r has nV particular view to press but owing to' the great interest aroused - aHrt. 111 com 1 von tairueis win give some ot the reajoi-n for lelieving the suspicionx not well grounded. -The ti r-.;t great reason is thvt the crime with whi:h - George Webber i. being charged is so luuyi-lious thnl oiil t the most con vinjcig ' proof would' make a fair minded man liclu-.rc that such a cri.-.ie would be even contemplated. And wiille .Webber U.-td his fault-., there is nothing in bis past life to. warrant a be lief that he' wa capable of suck a cow ardly, despicable outrage.'?: ;" ? In the - street talk much stress it laid upon the fact that at the inqnest Webber testified thai JCerr was stooping to pick up - the stick of powder, thinking the fuse had. gone out, when -the evidence of the body xh-ved lhaf it was the back ef Kerr that received the force of the ex plosion. It is tbert-fere taken for grant ed by some t!?at Webber testified falsely. SikIi a conclusion is very lame. It is more tlia: probable that if Kerr stooped to pick up the stick, he would have seen th.rl iVe fur-c was burning aud would turn quickly, to escape. Then came the fatal explosion. It weuld all happen so quickly that the horrified friend of Kerr could hardly Jake note of every detail. f It ii, too, hardly likely that a - youug tiisui cohM be blown up purpesely by a stick of gi.-.nt powder, in the opex, against hi'- will. The testimony given at ! the inquest was not deemed strango at the tiuw, and ceipetent, shrewd officials were present. . Tvro houses, occupied, were within ' a v-ry short distance of the spot where the explosion occurred. It is beyond belief that even a man so hardened as to com mit such a crime, weuld have so little disregard far his own safdty as to select such a conspicuous place for doing the deed. The fact that Kerr's life was insured4 in Webber's favor for 5,000, and t'-'at Web ber compromised with the , insurance company for about $500, is cited as .a strong proof of guilt. - It isknawn, bow ever, that both boys hail taken 'out in surance iu the Washington Co-operative Association for $5,000 each payable to each other. A solicitor for tUi company was in Xrvallis before the presidential election and urgfed the two Voys, among others. Io take out insurance, but tky refused.. Biij the conversation drifting .to politics, and the agent being a Bryan Uuati and Webber Slid Kerr republicans .. the agent made this proposition to then, which they accepted: He would make out two policies of $5,000 each, aud if Bryan were elected they were to pay the full premium, McKiuley being elected, the boys' insurance for a year cost tkem nothing. Thrr policy ef each one was made payable to the other. Webber's acceptance of such a small sum as a compromise,loses its ugly eolor, when it is known that the association is an assessment concern, in a bad way financially, and that Webber was advised by a prominent Portland lawyer to get what he could, for the company was on its latt legs in a measure. It was not the standing of the policy, but the shape of the insurance company's affairs that made the acceptance of the small pay ment desirable. The strongest ground for the.- current suspicions is the efforts ef Webber to keep quiet the fact that he had such a policy, aud . had collected it in " part. This unwillingness to make pnblic the insurance matter can, however, be as cribed to a desire to avoid that very no- tonety and those suspicions which' be knew weuld naturally arise, and which actually did arise notoriety and suspi cions, which the most innocent man in the worid would dislike to awaken. - All the suspicions and actual charges, presuppose a deliberate plan on the part of Webber to make way with Kerr, a supposition utterly opposed te the fact that a third man, Frank Kennedy, was a member of the fishing party. The ab sence of Kennedy at the time of the ac cident was net brought abont by Webber, nor could it have been'foreseen by him. Nor are any ef the numerous theories which seek to fasteu the crime of mur der upon George Webber (this being the blunt truth of. the matter) as plausible, simple or natural as the account of the accident given by Webber. - The strong attachment of the two boys for each other, and Ike intimacy existing between ; tbem, is a bar to the serious charge, with those who have Hot lost all faith in human, nature. Will Kerr was a quiet, orderly, young man, who wonld willingly harm no one, and yet he, had Webber ben ; the unfortunate victim of the explosion, weuld be now nnder the same dreadful suspicions that are held against Webber. . This paper has no desire to shield the guilty, nr is it disposed to censure those who are, or think they are, actuated bv the promptings of justice in endeavoring te make a crime out of tbe accident by which Will Kerr lost his life, but it re fuses to b,e conviuced by the strained theories aud unsatisfactory evidence so far advanced, that one so well known and possessing at least a fair reputation, is guilty of such a heinous offense. : What Dr. A.

A Clever Play.

Then the sceno changes iu the next act, and the audience sees th life really lived by the Bohemians-jolly good fellows of the great city of New York.
