way to do it. Let no guilty man es

One Chinaman tried to put a french
window iu the face of another one on
last Sunday evening by stabbing him
in the right cheek. '-John" bled like

Wliat is the Reason?
The Standard says: Every county in
the Shite, nearly, publishes an annual
exhibit of the receipts and expenditures.
This .is proper. The people have a
I right to know how their aflaiis stand.
Multnomah is one of the counties, which
for several years has not done so. "Why
not Is there any reason why the peo
ple should be kepi in the dark? -We
called attention to the matter last year,
and were in hopes the courts would pub
lish its transactions this ye ar, but so
far it has not We are informed that
the advertisement now calling for the
redemption of orders will take all the
revenue of the county for the present
year, and that it will have to run on
credit until the taxes are collected
next Spring, nearly, if not quite nine
months. Let the people have an exibit
of the county expenses, so they may '

j Shrewd. Last week we published
. a composition on piss by a Grant eoim-
ty boy, and headed it A Graut County
Boy on Pigs. Last Tuesday evening
while attending a trial at the court
room, a boy about six years old a
brother of the boy who wrote the com
position accosted us as follows: "Mr.
Shepherd, you were mistaken about
Eddie in your paper." How is that,
we asked. "Why' said he, "you said
he was on pigs, and he never was on a
pig in his life." Wc will bet a new
hat that no county in Oregon has a
boy with as much originality.
Killed. On last Tuesday afternoon
while a man by the name of John
Perry was working in a placer mine
about three .miles up Canyon Creek
from this place, the bank caved iu on
him and he was crushed to the ground.
Some Chinamen "ot him out but he
was unable to speak until about 11
o'clock at night, when he told those
watching him that he could not live,
after which he became unconscious and
died about 1 o'clock of the same n ght.
ICo his no relatives in this country.
The funeral services took place on
Wednesday.

HoUoht. We are told that Slessrs.

the property of the late Caleb Pan.
We are glad to notice the above fact,
j fo- these two geiitleman are enterpris
ing and will help to build up our stock

Called. Sir. J. W. Slack, Coun
ty School Superintendent, made us a
pleaFant call on last Wednesday. lie
said he was going over the county to
visit the schools. He is authorized by
us to s-dicit ami receive subscriptions
to the News, and receipt for moneys,
while out on this trip.
Improvements. Sir. SI. A. Lucas
is building a barn for Sir, B. C. Trow
bridge, the dimensions of which are
70 feet long, -16 feet wide and IS feet
high. Pic has also contracted to build
a school house at John Daytown.

is the headquarters for all the leading

ty. The News will be found there,
and also at Capt. Ferguson's Barber

SIiss Douthit returned from Lino
couuty last Thursday evening.
The Avalanche says: Gossip has
been quite buy in this city lately im
plicating certain parties iu rather
questionable transactions, such as ihe
great Beecher might be supposed to be
guilty of. The scene of the plot is
tracable to a ravine within a hundred
miles of the Potosi mine, aud the hour
shortly before midnight. It was at
first supposed that there was a "ghost5'
on the premises. Ghosts, however, are
generally pretty well behaved, espe
cially in the matte of observing the
leventh commandment, not being ad
dicted to browsing in strange pastures.
We are waiting further particulars by
underground telegraph.
Prom an article in the last issue of
the East Oregonian it appears that
that paper has learned of another Bee
cher case with the .-cene and plot laid
within a hundred miles of Oro Dell.
We always did despise a "sheep killing
dog," aud .more especially one that
kills at home, and that under the
cloak of radical piety. The East Or
egonian is very personal in its remarks,
but perhaps it ' knows more than it
says. At anyrate if the half be true
that has been told us, we think that
the East Oregonian was very mild.
We don't wish to mention names, for
people will talk, "ihey all do it."
Beecher bad the "true grit" to swear
to his innocence (?) but it appears others
have not.
-SIy dear little Tommy looks so p:le,
and it seems as though that nasty
sore on his mouth would never go
away! Now just look at that- little
Walter of Sirs. Brown's, the little
child is the very picture of health."
Walter is a good little boy and takes
hisduse of Oregon Blood Putifier, and
his papa givei hi:n ten cents a week
for it.
SIitciiels John SlcCown, who
lives near the above locality aud who
has recently opened a sfore for the
accommodation of the Bridge Creek
trade, paid a hurried visit to this city
on last. Sunday on business connected
with the next Federal census. He re
ports business as being lively in that
tection. aud states that he took up
oOOO pounds of flour which he sold at
12 per bin el within ten days after he
iot it there. Wool was plenty and the
shepherds there escaped much of the
severity of the great snow storm in
February las;. There is also a pros
pect of of increase! settlement aiound
there, as immigrants in suarch of
