The sequel to the peuuliar case of at' attempted poisoning of the Widow Smllh aud her family at Coburg bat at last tsteu round, me reMjers or me Uuakii will rememiier the case which has been published heretofore. In all Si vltlta were made lo the farm by the family persecutor and now II trans pires that be it a twelve-year-old boy, Oral l'olndextcr, attepsonof Granville I'olndexter, who lives on a farm ad joining the Smith farm. hince Die recem viaue were mai i" (he Smith place by some unknown person who scattered slton about the premises members of the family have been kseplng a sharp lookout for the would-be atsatlu, and BO Garrison, a neighbor, was appointed a epeclal olUcer to keep a watcli for and arrest the guilty party. On last Friday Mrt Smith left the tiou.e while one ef the little glrlt remained there to keep watch. Boon after Mrt Smith lft. the little girl taw the buy, Oral I'olndexter, approachlog tlie house. He carried in lilt hands a small vial containing a liquid whl 'h he started to pour Into the pump w hea the little girl knocked a tin pan oil of the stove making a noise that frightened him away before he accomplished his pur pose. Mr Gurrlson was immediately notified and asked lo arrest the boy, hut he desired more evidence before arresting a by so young- On Saturday morning one of the little girlt, Hilda bmith, aged 13 yean, went to the baru yard to place tome eggt under a goose. While stooped over in a isition to place tlie eggs the was struck a blow on top of tlie head from behind. She was ren dered senseless by tlie blow and wss carried Into a chicken house shout 4M feet distant, where she was left and was afterwards found by some of tlie member of the family. Dr Mackey of Harrisbtirg wa sent for and render ed medical assistance to the little girl whose head is yet iu a painful condi tio! from the eltect of the blow. On the afuruoeii of the tame day Oral I'olndexter mtde three vl.lls to the Smith house and posted threatening notice on the door each time. He wss seen each visit by mimilier of the family whe were keeping a watehout Mr Garrison was again notified and tliit morning arrested tlio boy at the home of Mr Thornton, bringing him to this city this afternoon. Oral I'elndexter it a boy small of hit age. He wept bitterly when quel tioued in the justiee' olllce this after noon. Hi pareat were In this city at the time of his arrest, having been here for several days to get medical treatment fer Mit I'olndexter. It is iielieved by many that he ha bee prompted to commit tlie act and it I sud that family trouble have existed hctween tlie I'olndexter and tlie Smiths for seme tiaie. Tlie boy was placed under t00 bends to await examination, as owing te the high stsg- of water It will be ditllcult to get witnesse here for a few day. He has not yet raised bonds. Hia mother aud his atep father left town today at noon and do not know of his arrest. Letter From Elinlra Ki.MtRA.Or., April 11,1896.

The rain ha almost ceased to fall today and It Is not likely that the river will go much higher. The Fall Creek Improvement Com pany, of which A Wheeler it presi dent, aud J B Hill Is manager, to gether with the Eugene Mill A Lum ber Company, have suflered a heavy Ion liecaute of the unexpected rise iu tlie river. Haw logs commenced to pass down stream by thl city about 5 o'clock last evening and have beeu floating bv all lat night au.l all day today. "The logs came from Fall Creek, HfWeii miles up th Willamstle from here, aud no word has yet lieen received from there, o that il Is not known Just how .wrious tlie los will prove to be. Tlie logs were gotten out for the Kugene Mill A Lumber Com pany and w ere et In tlie baud of the Fall Creek Improvement Compauy. Accordingly to an estimate made then are about 1,400,000 feet of logs along the batiks and in th stream of the Fall Creek country. Of this amount II Is thought that 200,000 feet had already leu tloated In th liig Fall Cruck Just below it Juactlon with tlie liltlo creek. These are be lieved to be the log tbat are uow golug down the river. They were held by a hooiu which has proven iasecure agaimt the angry water of a rapidly ri.itig stream. All the log thai go below thl city will be lost, but all that lodge along the bank of the stream aliove here can be saved, as they can readily e floated down to the mill after tlie high water subsides. A large proportion of them, however, have been carried by and will be lost. The lot will aggregate several hundred dollars. About two-flths of the 200,000 feet of logs In tlie Tay boom had beeu scaled and the Eugene Company may have to lose these, while the los of the balance will fall to the Fall Creek company. The boom could hardly have been adequate for the purpose, though logs have al ways lieen considered safe In Fall Creek at the Tay boom after the first of March. The water has been coming through the slough by McVeigh' point and has shut oir travel between this city and Springfield by the river road. Travel between the two places today had to go by way of Heiideraon. Box Factor v.

On fish eries it says: "We sea the impor portance and magnitude of the fishing inJustry on the Columbia river would recommend that some provisions be mtde for a stive hatchery for artificial propagation, and that the laws regulating close season b rigidly enforced." In regard to the financial plank, a minority report of the committee on platform was submitted signed by Claud Cktch, Chas. S. Moore, V. W. Stoiwer, Darwin Bristow, V. II. Conyers, and W. P. Conna way. It embodied the idea of the OreEon'ftnof committing llie con vention to a clear and unmistak able denunciation of the free coin age of silver, and read as follows: Resolved, That we favor the use of both gold and silver to the ex tent which they can be maintained in circulation at parity in purchas ing and debt paying power; but we are earnestly opposed to tho free and unlimited coinage of silver at tho ratio of 1G to 1 for the reason that it would destroy such parity, enormously contract the volumne of currency by forcing gold out of circulation and immediately plac ing tho country on a eilver basis. Believing that the eficct of inter national demonetization of silver can be overcome only by interna tional remonetization of that metal, the republican party of Oregon most earnestly favor such measures as will accomplish that purport. This minority report was defeated bva vote of 129 to 103. ONE DOLLAR WHEAT. P. E. Armour, the Chicago king, in speaking of the wheat outlook, says: "I believe that wheat vill sell at $1 a bushel or near that figure soon. This is speaking from the standpoint of a merchant and nut its scalper. It ought to sell there on its merits, anJ will unless some thing unforscen occurs. I bare felt bullish for several weekh but never more so than now. Whit any individual or operator says, has norefersnij to the actual m-ir-kot conditions. The advance will not be a matter of Bentimont, although I believe business men all over the country are becoming more confident and cheerful. This grain may be singled out, for im provement. I believe that nil products will be helped. Corn and oats may sell up a few cents, although conditions of supply-and demand aro entirely different in them than in wheat, but provisions are at a rango of prices whero they aro sure to be better.
