The fun being over, each beau Rii.l each

A I'kkmati'p.k Illumination .The young
men who ascended Mount Hood on the
Fourth returned to Portland on Mond.iy
night. They had a hard trip up the moun
tain, and were Completely ti.'ed out when
they reached Portland. They placrd tho
material for the illumination about l,(i(HJ
feet below the summit, expecting to light up
the entire 'mountain. A short time after
they left it they heard a noise, nud, looking
ba.-k, say the business bluze up mid dia
pear. A small avalanche bad upset, the acid
and ignited the Hie. It was too bad that
they, and so many others, should be disap
pointed iu seeing what promised to bo the
grandest sight of Hood ever witnessed.
They reached the summit of the mountain
in good time and without accident, ami loft
their autographs iu the "visitor's register"
left there by a former party. They found a
bible and this book, together with a lady's
photograph in a good stato of preservation,
stowed awav in a can.
A Friendly Waknino. We clip tho follow
ing from last Sunday's Salem Statesman:
Know ye, ynu towns ami cities south of us,
that there is now en route to ynu a wealthy
beggar-bilk on wheels. He is a miserable lit
tle deformed scoundrel, who works his way
around the country on a wheeled chair, freight
trains, etc., with a hand organ, and hangs
around the principal corners ot the city, grind
ing out his miserable, screeching music, and
begging alms. He was tired out of Cortland
by Chief nf Police Parrish, and had it been
learned before he left that he was paying taxes
on over 815,000 what would be considered a
competency by tho kind people who pity and
give to him ho would have been forcibly
ejected from this rily. lie is not honorable
nor deserving of alirs, and the good cop!
from whom lie begs should know Ins character.
Maiiiiied. At the residence of the bride's
parents, in Lost Valley, Sunday, July 5, 1HS5,

I That Lane County Fair.
Euuknk Cirv, Or., July 10, 1883.
Editok Gi Aiio: 1 riml the following iu
the Salem Statesu.au of July 9th: "We
met Hun. M. Wilkins, member of the state
agricultural board, fiom Laue county on his
arrival in this city yesterday, aud asked him
about the mixing of dates for the state fair
with those of the Laue comity fair. He "aid
the trouble lay wholly with two or three
men in that county, who allowed tiieir stub
bornesa to overcount their good judgment,
Mr W expressed the thought that the mat
ter would b amicably adjusted before the
date arrived, by the Lane county people
holding tht ir fair before the state fair. The
fact that I ai vesting will be over earlier than
usual, he thought would cause them to give
the date to the statu association, as they can
hold theirs earlier. He says in any event
Laue county will have a good exhibit at the
state exposition." To satisfy the unwilling
soul of Uo Statesman editor I can inform
him once for all, that the date will not be
changed! It wai set without conflicting
with the statu fair, when the board of direc
tors nf that concern, changed their dam to
that of the Luuu county lair. I think that
tho trouble lay not only with "Iwo'or threo
stubborn men. Hardly a man w ho has the
best interest, of the county fair at heart
would now be in favor of changing dales.
It is the state fair at Salciu that should
change dates, as they are tho transgressore.
From the Lano o unty exhibit at Salem this
year there will ho missed a great portion of
unusual merit and excellency.
"A SiT iiiioBM Mas."
Insane.
A man was noticed wandering around eur
streets aimlessly last Thursday evening. He
was interviewed and it was pUiu to bo seen
that ho was mentally unsound. The Sheriff'
t iok him iu charge and kept him in Confine
ment until Friday morning. Ho gave his
nauio as John Tow, and said ho had a di
vorced wife and seven children living in
Mendocino county, California, had worked
in the Kogue lliver Vulley; bad been in the
Napa and Stockton insane asylums anil was
51 jenrsofuue. Wednesday night ho says
h tried to commit suicide some miles above
Eugene. His unn at the wrist was cut near
ly to the bone, uud ho bail a Small cut on
the neck, and was weak from the loss of
blood. After ti examination before Judge
Wuslibunie, Special Deputy Prosecuting
Attorney Collier, Medical Examiners Urs
llDriis aud Slndtnii, Friday morning, he was
pronounced insane. Domestic troubles
seem to be the cause. Deputy Sheriff Coch
ran took tho unfortunate man to the asylum
