Homicide at Wasco.
Geo. Wright died Sunday morning from
wounds received from the pistol of J. R.
;. Love, at Wasco, Wasco county, the previous
" Friday. Wright was standing by the stove
; iu Marsh's di ng store, when Love came in
'-' and shot at him, one ball striking him iu the
back and passing through the body. The
cause was family trouble on account of
Wright. About a year ago Love was divorc
ed from his wife, allegations iu tbe complaint
, being intimacy between her and Wright. A
: few days ago Wright returned fr.om Coeur
' d'Alene mines, being absent several nionthB.
After staying in The Dulles a day or two he
: proceeded to Wasco, where the encounter
took place. Love was lodged in juil hist
Saturday, and bound over in $1,000 bonds.
He failed to furnish bail, and awaits the
' action of the grand jury.

a brief spell through the gratings separat
, ing their cages iu the man corridor of the

WHAT AM I TO DO.
- The symptoms of Biliousness are unhap
pily too well known. They differ in differ
ent individuals to some extent. A Bilious
man is seldom a breakfast eater. Too fre
quently, alas, he has an excellent appetite
for liquids but none for solids of a morning.
-His tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; if it is not white and furred, it is
rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly ont of
order and Diarrhea or Constipation may be
a symptom or the two may alternate. There
are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood
There may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or flatulence and tenderness in
the pit of the stomach. To correct all this
if not effect a cure try Green's August Hovxr;
it costs but a trifle and tbonsands attest its
efficacy.

The Utica Observer has the following

Mammoth Uncle Tom's Cabin Co. thut up

The Opera House wus packed hist evening
by an audisuce represeutiug thiee genera
tions to see Abbey's Double Uncle Tom's
Cabin Company. While the main features
of the old dramatization are retained, the
management has added mauy new and
unique features thut do not fail to pleuo
general audiences. Eva St. Clair is person
ated by Genie Fursmun, who is but four
years of age. She is a great favorite and a
wonderful child-actress. The two Marks
made avast deal of fun. There are two Top
sies iu the company, persouated by the dis
tinguished Hyer sisters, who have been heard
here before iu opera. They are artists of
the highest rauk and made a must decided
"bit" by their exquisite sinking sud merry
antics. The Quartette singing and planta
tion scenes gave grout pleasure to lovers of
negro melodies. Geo. T. Dorsey as Uncle
Tom, was the best we evei saw, and Aunt
Ophelia was very good iudeed. Taken in
all, the Double "Uncle Tom" entertainment
gives more than one's money's worth.
The play has been presented to overcrowded
houses every night since it opened. It
could be repeated in Utica this season. .

Read this It Is of Interest to Every Tax
Payer In Oregon.
Dear Sir: Would say in reply to yours
of even date, that the snm of $77 paid to me
by the Columbia Fire and Marine Insurance
Company, of Portland, Oregon, for school
tax in Dist. No. 1, represents more money
than that paid to this office by all the foreign
insurance companies doing business in this
city. . Fbkd. A. Dalt,
School Clerk District No. 1.
This proves oar assertion that to protect
yourself you should give your insurance to
the Columbia Fire and Marine Insurance
Company of Portland, Oregon organized
under the laws of Urecon. Has a guaran
teed capital of $500,000 for your protection,
whioli is ten times the amount of deposit
required of foreign companies, who pay no
taxes, and send all the profits out of the
state, thereby increasing your taxes. Think
of this, and give our agent at your place a
part of your insurance. Yours respectfully,
John A. Child, Secretary.

Truth Defier.
We grieve that our little quotation, in our
last, from the Truth Defier, was not so
thoroughly digested by "Pete" as was the
sixty-cent supper to which it alluded; but
such grief is insignificant when we recall the
fact that ihe ex-editor of tbs Truth Ueuer,
after nominilinc. electioneerins for and
ardently supporting "Pete" for tVee of ths
principal ofliees of the Goshen Literary So
ciety, succeeded in getting him sleeted to
nothing.

liouND Uveb. About tliree weeks ago
Chas. Letellior, living near Junction, em
ployed two men, Ashael A. Smith and Henry
B. Nevins. Tbsy worked for him a day or
two when one morning they were missing
together with two of his horses. They were
traced to Lake Creek and down the Siuslaw,
whers they tried to dispose of ths horses.
The snow coming on they turned them loose
and started south. The horses were found,
and Mr. John Wisman sturtsd in pursuit of
the men, overtaking and arresting them near
Yoncolla, in Douglas county. He brought
them here Sunday and on Thursday an ex-
aminauon was ueia oeiore uusnce ueo. iiin -
sey, resulting in their being held in ths sum
of $300 each to await ths grand jury next
April. Not being able to furnish bonds thsy
wers committed to jail.

Ice (Joboe. ror the first time in many
years the Willamstte river at Eugene has
been closed with ice. The slush Ice canght
in the eddy just below the Eugene bridge
Monday and formed a gorge piling up several
feet thick, closing tbe river several hundred
feet above and below the bridge making a
genuine arctic scene. A number of parties
crossed the river on the ice. The photo
graphers took views of tbs scene, improving
an opportunity which may not occur for
many years.

And now, it is our pleasure, as doubtless it
is also that of all, that we return again to the
quiet sequestered work where we were when
unwillingly called fuitb to take as ours the
honors, paius snd pleasures accruing to ths
office of EutaUun editor. True to tbe
promise that all things oome around to him
who will but wait, our term has ended, aud
we, in going but give place to another, who
in taking up the thread of this endless
medley, hs vast room for improvement over
her predecessor. To carry ou this column
in a successful and harmonious manner re
quires a tact which but few possess, and to
the fact that we are not endowed with this
gift, we owe our mistakes and failures of the
past term, yet we can but learn by experi
ence, and at this, the close of our efforts we
feel wiser, in that we have discovered our
lack of wisdom. With perhaps uu excep
tion or two, we have we behave, wounded
the feelings of ne one, snd since these ex-
ceptions have resulted in rather strengthen
ing the links of affections' chain instead of
severing them, we waste no tears in recalling
them. To the editor is ascribed the task
of keeping truck of tbe Societies' children
who may be absent, and of publishing the
cute sayiags and wonderful fealB, both
mental and physical, of those under tbe ma
ternal roof, and, since the source from which
tbe editor draws the material for this column
deponds greatly npon the activity of these
children, aud as none of them have during
lour supervision eliner attempted to free
themselves from the thraldom of life, or
been raised to positions of sovereigutry, our
resources have been consequently small. Our
societies have, with the new year, received
an appreciable thrill of life which is earnest
of success, and tbsy may, in tbe near lutme,
gain such a renown as to make the position
of those whose pleasure it is to record their
achievements one of no little honor. Thus
the prospect seems to be s bright one for
those in whose haudi this column may be
intrusted tbrougb coming years. And now
we withdraw, with tbe kiudest wishes for
the welfare of our successor and sincerely
thsuking ths public for their patience iu
bearing with us se long.
