'The Republican thurify Cen'ral Committee of Jackton county ii here- br called to meet in Jacksonville on 'Friday, March 19th, to transact tacb business as may come before it. MerrITT Bellikgkr, Chairman. Our County Debt. "The finafitial condition of our county has been fairly and plain ly laid before the voters of the county. They cannot plead ig noranco of the fact that our county ntffchis time is over 100,000 in debt. If they will carefully exi amino the exhibit -given July 1885, aud the one given January, 1886, they will discover that our county debt under the fpresent -.administration has increased, .about 49,003.44. We cbalange our cotcm to give a showing that will make any material change in their favor. Jt is certainly his duty to come to the defense of those that have 60 many -years favored him. Wo also assert that he cannot -show whore a Bingle dollar is to come from to reduce this large indebtedness. The -amount required for county ex penses as per exhibit of 1885 is 37,399.19, this is 38890 more 'thau all the income of thn county from every available source, henceUhe debt must increase in stead of decreasing as they would have the people believe. The county debt was 54,232.39 when the present administration came in, the last exhibit shows an in. debtedness of 91,835.83,. add 'to this amouut say 12,000, 'for in terest and you will have about the debt ofUhe courity as near us can be reached by the figures furnished in the two exhibits. The 'Times" editor being unable o answer our .former articles on county finances, and feeling it his fluty to defend those from whom 'ho has received so many silver tokens of friendship, seen proper to charge the articles upon the jpoliticiauB"who desire office bnt cant;get one. This probably is a better answer than none at all. Wo know of no Republican can didate for office, but if there were it would not change the financial condition of the county nor prove otrrxssertions false. Ifonr debt has not increased as much as above stated, just point out to the dear people whero the mistake is and wo will make the correction ivith pleasure. Let us hear from ;you Charles. The Albany "Democrat face tiously remarks: The Oregon candidate plant (genus candidatii) i& a bienniel, indigenous to our soil, ntd fiprouts -spontaneously, but the growth is much improved "by careful culture and prudeut pruning. It blossoms early and often, but only a meager part of the bloom produces truit in the early pait of Juno. In this cli. mate it will not do to plant too many in the hill, and the suckers must absolutely all be pulled ofi' and not allowed to imbibe the uouiishment of main stalks. The crop promises to bo abundant this year. From Washington dispatches we hear that the President will send to the Senate the name of B. K Bruce a colored gentleman from Mississippi, as a member ot tne civil service commission. A Democratic president appointing a darkey to fill, au important posi tion in the government is an evi dence of tho rapid progress that party has made in the last few years. This however, will make some of the old moss backs scratch their heads, but they must grieve nnd bear it for this is an ngo of progress aud Democratic reform. For Congress, Hos. Bixgzb Hermann, or Douglas. "We here anndnnce our candi date for Congress. We will pro nounce nor encomiums on, neithei attempt to eulogize him, but let his record - and serviees speak for him, tor they entitle him to the nomination. lie ie the strongest candidate in thcfield and -would receive d large vote from the con servative Democrats, besides the entire Republican vote. Repubi Means throughout the State should do nothing to jeopardize bis nom- ination, for with any other nomi. nee the success of our ticket is doubtful, e have heard the name oi-J. C. Fullerton of Rose bnrg, mentioned as a candidate for Secretary of State, but from our personal knowledge of ftie "gentleman aud his known zeapfbr the Republican cause, we con. elude that his name has been used without hie consent, and that he will not go before the conven tion for any office on the State ticket, as he well knows that either he 6r Mr. Hermann Would "hare' to' be sacrSficed. Mr. Her. pmantf id'dcrtv 'In la position where he will be-aWe to accomplish much ior our State, and it is sin' cerely to be hoped that he will be returned to Congress to serve a'sccond term. Delegates to the State conven tion must bear in mind that other candidates must be sacrificed, fo insure the nomination oi Mr. Her mann. The Sentinel has hitherto re. fraiued from endorsing candidates before their nomination byHh'e convention; and only does so in this instance'for the best -interests v-of the party. The Mill. TThV-n'ew qfiSrfz mill'fras'been running during the week day Wd night, employing two setSifcf hands It is the Jones comhinarit'n fnili with a Fruo concentrator. The mill was put in operation byUhe inventor, Mr. Jones, superintend. ent of the Unito! Iron works of Portland, where the mills are manufactured. Mr. Jones is a practical-machinist, and alsobastfrare combination of the genius and the gentlemen, as dining the time he has'been engaged in adjusting the machinery, ho has explained the nrocess to a little less than two thousand persons, very HfeVv of them suspecting perhaps that the intelligent aud obliging gehtle man was himself the inventor aud Spatenttfr. Messrs. Brown & Co. who have been here tor several months past have contracted for an ''immense amount of ore, and intend, should the results justify it, to put up another mill at once. They have also impressed our people so Uvdrubly with their business capacity and integrity, that the bueinkss outlook of the entefprisB rs well assured. Mr. G. P. Dyer, a member ot the firm, employs his 'time in a scientific test of ores that are crowding in from the cotmt'less locatidhs in the valley, and Mr. Sherman Brown is the business 'munager of the firm. Next week wo will give a detailed tleseiipiion of the milling process and machinery, with dates of patents, most of it being ofrs cent invention, the capacity of the mill with 'running expeiiles and cost oi construction, as we consid er the enterprise of much value to the country as to merit anextfind ed 'notice. The Prohibition "Star, the 'ifrgan of the tepmerance party'of the State, is quite sanguine. In 'leading editorial iti its issue of yesterday it sas: ''this promises to be the 'most interesting political contest that ever took lilacs in Oregon, and will mark neV -ra In the history of the State. It means the beginning of the ini of the liquortraffic. Every legitimate means that can bo brought to bear in the interest of the Prohibition party will bo exercised. It is no child's play. Every county will be organized; it will not be a spasmodic effort hero and Vhere$ but will bo as broad and wide as the State" Habitual Constipation ts a prolific source of misery and many ills, giving rise to Heidacnpj Dullness, Fevers, Nervousness, Itest essrress, Biliousness, Indigestion, Pois oning of Blood, Etc.

On Friday, March 12, 1886, Lewis O'Neil luffeied the extreme penalty of the law, by hanging until he wai dead, for the murder ot Lewis McDauie, committed at Ahhland November 20tfc, 1884. Thetacts in the case have been told to often that they are well known and it will always"be'"ftuieuibsred that it was a cold blooded murder, the aa saxin giving lis victim no warning whatever and shouting him in the nide of the face. The execution took place in an inolosire specially built for thai purpose in the Court House yard ia the presenra of (bout 120 spectators the Fira Co. acting as guards. At two a'cb'ck the condemned man in charge of Sheriff Jacobs and his deputies and accompanied by Rev. Father Blanchet, his spiritual advisor, ascended the scaf fold when the Sheriff read the death warrant and then asked O'Neil if he had aaytbing to say. Contrary to en eral expectations he would not confess and would say nothing one way or the other, Father Elancbet speaking fcr him stating that the prisoner had nothing to ray. The nopie was lien adjusted by the Sheriff Stfd1 at 2:15 tat trap fell and Lewislr-0'Niil was no more, his nec.k havrar been broken andne died almost without a siruRsh?? ism. iiico, jvuuinsun, ipmpnrt arm DeBar were present and after httngirip about 15 minutes they pronounced him dead wtien he was cat down and placed in a coffin that had been prepared for that purpose. A large Jtrowd of peo ple collected on the outside of the Court House yard 'during the time but tbt best of ordsr prevailed andlrdiirferied quietly after the work was done. O'Neil's body was kept until to-da at the request of relatives, when he wa buried in the Jacksonville cemetery" and so eadeth thr chap'er. To fhow what O'Neil was writing to bis friends after his sentence and be fore bis execution we I ubinit the fol lowing dictated by the condemed man and written down by one of the guards acting as death watch: . Substance ef letterwwr'itlen to Sirs. McDauiel, in Jan. '86: "ilandy, you know that I told you several times febileyau were in this (.place awaiting trial not to be uneasy but tf possible to have your trial put back until I could hear what action the Supretne cdStl would take in my case. If I was de nied a new trial, and you were found guilty, I would come to your relief and clear you by taking the whole re sponsibility en myself, although I am innocent but if you could "not hare your trial put hack and that yon were found guilty you shouldfcnHvSr'!hang or 20 to the penitentiary 'for I Vtfufd save you. Now you have bejn tried and come clear, and it is in your pow er to save my life. Yon can do it by coming in to town afldrsVra"r t'hatjjoi did the killing, and that I had neither band, act, er part in it, or any knowl edg of it. That would elear me, and the law could not hurt you, as it savs plainly that no mans 'life shall bn pSl in jeopardy twicef5r the same offense Then I could eropley 'dnoUf ttTe.bet lawyers in California and come on the Stats of Oregon for heavy damages, and I would divide "eornalv. or if that was not enough, I woulll give you all so I hope vou will'noVdetay as 'I know ou can save ray life and 'he disgrace will be no worsebn yeu raaVitlfi now " To Mr. Egerton,8ahlFrahcfscs, Cal., Feb. 1886 Dear sir: Plet-o te what the law is or what could be done! to Mrs. Mc Daniel in case she would relieve me by taking the whole rpspon iibilityberself. Please let me know as soon as possible. Letter to Mrs. Fonts, Jan, 1886 Dar Sister: Have Joe and Al do all tbey cau to find the man I old the gun to or any one that'vvdnlc do that for me. The gun that was seen with me is net the gun displayed in court. The gen I had was not quite as long as the gun they had in court, ahd instead of a dragons head Hieing carved ou the stock it was a lions hiad. It' looked verv much like the gun that was in court, but was not the sstiia. Letter to Jolfus, Ftb , 1886: Try and get some one to clear me by swear ingthat they done the killing and that will clear me. Then I will come back on the State for 'heavy damages and will make It all right with who ever will do it, then they can clear them selves by proving where they were on the 20th f Nov. 1884, the nicht McDaniel was killed. He was shot with buck shoton left eiil of the head on Chuich street, Ashland, within about 70 yards of his house. Another Brute Fred Stiffens, a new comer here, was arrest.ed fast MiS day and charged with iha crime it sodomy committed on :he veven year old son of Sriks J. Day. When h& fcoy escaped he was nearly naked and ran o bis hooie in that cofiditiui. Steftens had ah examr-riMr- beMre Justice Foudroy who bound him over in the sum of 500 and he now Ian' jjuishes in jail awaiting hra lria in Circuit Court.
