In another column see the call to the Democratic Central Com mittee of Grant county. Ilutchings has concluded to not write any more for the Gkant , County Nkws, because the editor doas not .know how to spell. Jcssec Teller, who was in pris on for carrying concealed weap ons, has given bail, and is at work for Doc Cameron on his ranch. At last accounts the editor of the Long Creek Eagle was suffer ing very much, the doctors hav ing been unable to find the bullet which entered his groin. The mines at Quartzburg, above Prairie City, arc in a pros perous condition, and the coming season will witness considerable activity there, as also in other sections. Kenneth MeLennon was over from Malheur during the week, and reports considerable snow over there yet. lie thinks the loss of cattte will le at least fifty per cent. The equity suit of Mahan vs. Malum &. Gowne, in which tes timony has been taken for a long time at short intervals, is again up before the referee Hon. Phil Metschan. Duncan it Co. Moved the Look wood residence to its destination lust week, and a very neat job the v did. In a distance of half; a milo, over an uneven road, not even a window pane was broken. 11. Ward has taken in as a partner in the harness and saddle business a young man named Johnson, formerly a resident of the lower part of the valley. Success to the firm of Ward & Johnson. A poor, lonely coyote was howl ing on the hill Sunday morning. Wc advise all coyotes to be ware of dogs, but to take a trip to Harvey Fields' sheep ranch, where they can find piles and piles of mutton. W. F. Moflett received a letter from a relative near Drewsev a few days ago, saying that the. stock loss in that vicinity in con sequence of the cold weather this winter, was thus far, exceedingly light. We are pleased to hear it. The reported fifty per cent loss was beginning to make cat tle owners feel quite uneasy. Mining experts will visit Grant County during this year, to look at our" mines. In the meantime let the work of developement go steadily on, so that they may see what the mines contain. Back of Marysville, W. F. Smith has a ledge of what looks to be very rich, ore, but like nearly all the others, it wants development. Saturday morning last, Sheriff Bore and Win. Page, resident of the Island,' in Harney Valley, started from here to Salem, hav ing in charge Mr. Page's younger brother Wesley, who had been adjudged insane and was on the way to the asylum.

In Mr. Silver will be found a straightfoward busine; man and the sheep own ers of Grant county will find it to t,heir advantage to make terms with him. liakcr Democrat. Washington Irving liishop, the great mind reader, is creating quite a sensation in Portland by tlie display of his trickery. His latest freak was the leading of one of Portland's supposed murder ers to the scene of his crime, and personating the moves of the murderer while in the act of com mitting the crime. As a matter of course the supposed criminal was overcome with fright and trembled with fear as one who had seen a ghost, but he failed to j make any confessions, nor could the "mind reader" produce any affects that would be admissable as evidence in court. A CRIMINAL ASSAULT. The Editor of the Long: Creek Eagle Shot an 5 Dangerously Wounded. A BAD MAN WITH A PISTOL. From Ben Erway, who carries the mail between here and Long Creek we learn of a serious shoot ing scrape that occurred in the latter burg on Tuesday morning, Jan. 31st. in which P. J. Con nolly, editor of the "Eagle," better known as "Peter the Poet," was shot twice by a would-be ''bad man," one shot taking effect in the groin and the other in the arm. The shootist was Tom Wil liams, whom the shootee had spoken of in his paper as "a hard rooster," "pistol man," "a slog ger," etc., and after sbooting the shootee he armed himself with a Winchester rifle and fired several shots at Ed Allen, who was act ing as constable, and endeavor ing to arrest him, one shot graz- ing Aliens foot and killing the horse which he rode. V il hams Finally gave himself up, and was r i! i i- being closely guarded, pending j the result of Connolly s wounds. The trouble grew out of an ar ticle published in the paper that morning, charging Williams with immoral conduct, which if true (and an editor will seldom take the responsibility upon himself to publish an article unless it has some semblance of truth), would ostracise him from the society of respectable people forever. Wil liams was charged with saving that the women of Long Creek, in general, were no better than prostitutes, and that Long Creek was one great house of ill-fame. Such assertions as these, if not taken up and resented by the husbands, fathers and brothers of the ladies of Long Creek would show them to be veritable cowards, and Peter gave this fiend this monster in human form such a "raking down" in his paper that, smarting under the well deserved chastisement, he demanded "blood," and while Peter was delivering his paper to its subscribers, just because he had dared to voice the sentiments of a portion of the community, he must be attacked in a coward ly manner and shot down like a d'og. When society attains such a pitch that it is unsafe for a por tion of any community to defend the honor of those who are more dear to them than life itself, it is time for the respectable class to rise up and do something. When the virtue of their wives, mothers sisters and daughters is assailed, and thev are classed, one and all, with the unfortunate shame- 7 1 less creatures that are to be found in almost every community what protector with the least element of true manhood in his soul would not rise up indignantly and with scorn banish the would be dest rover of woman's irtue forever from society? tette to vicariously do the song If the assertions "made by the worship. One old brother pre Eagle are true, it behooves the sist-'d the old way, and lifted his good people of Long Creek to V0IC'C regardless of time, tune or "stand in" with "Peter the Poet," lthe feelings of the quartette. anu snow nun that they appre ciate his noble.and self-sacrificing efforts in defending from the slanderous tongueof the destroy er the good name of the vir tuous ladies of the community.

Constantixoi'lk, Feb. 4 It is reported that two more Russian raids upon Bulgaria are "being prepared. Skw York, Feb. 3 Ex-Gov. Watson C. Squire of Washing. ton Territory, who is at present stopping at the Hoifman, says that there is a remarkably strong sentiment in the West, in favor of Phil. Sheridan as the Repub lican nominee for President. For all that though, he be lieves that the next campaign will be in its most essential fea ture, a repetition of the last, and that Cleveland and Blaine will be the heads of the tickets.

A young man named James Ilirgch has been adjudged i insane in the criminal court He is but 28 years of age, and has always been a brilliant young man. His lunacy is pe culiar in its nature, and it is at tributed by his physicians to smoking cigaretts. By degrees he had become a slave to the habit of smoking the tilings, and like its victims inhaled the fumes. It is said that he con sumed on an average from ten to fifty a day. About a year ago it began to tell on his mind. lie grew erratic and finally desper ate, threatening his own life and that of nil about him. He had to be confined, and was so violent that it was deemed unsafe to leave him at large. Forty-five years ago there was not a postage stamp in the United States.

The committee on postoflices rejwrted adversly on. the propo sition to reduce the rate of pos tage on letters. The report said that it was thought better to wait until the department was self- sustained before any further re duction on postage was attempt ed. Plumb offered a resolution in structing the postoflice committee to inquire into the causes of the inefficient mail sen-ice, especially in the West and South, and pre sented newspaper extracts and letters to show the demoralized condition of service in Kansas, the result of a stupid attempt to make a record of economy.

By Baker of Illinois Direct ing the committee on postoflices and post roads to inquire into the expediency of reducing postage on seeds and bulbs, and of reduc ing to 3 cents the fee for money orders for .fo or less. By Cutcheon of Michigan A resolution declaring it to be the sense of the house that in any proposed revision of the tariff the principle of protection to Ameri can industry and maintenance of the wages of American workmen1 at the American standard be dis tinctly recognized and firmly adhered to; that duties ought not to be imposed for revenue on ly, but the production of those articles which the United States has abundant raw material and labor to produce ought to be pro tected sufficiently to enable Amer ican producers to maintain free competition in the American mar ket; and that articles on the free list should be selected from among such necessaries of life as are not produced in adequate quantities in this county. The Alaska Commercial Com pany has undoubtedly done more than all other agencies combined to retard the progress of civili zation in Alaska. It should be crushed. Gerard, the old English bota nist, in reference to the banana, says it was Adam's apple tree, and that whichever way the fruit may be cut the form of a cross may be seen in it. Tradi tion further asserts that in Cey lon, where, according to some, paradise was situated there exists a tremendous banana tree, the fruit of which, when cut trans versely, presents the figure of a man crucified, and local tradi tion asserts that from its huge leaves Adam and Eve made gar ments for themselves. But whether Adam ate the banana in the Garden or Eden or not must be a matter of complete indifference to those who live in the nineteenth century, yet if the banana be the. tree that pro duced the forbidden fruit that 'the woman saw was good for food, pleasant to the eyes and a tree to be desired to make one wise,1' we cannot be surprised she was tempted to eat it.

Weekly Budget of News as Furnished by our Regular Cones- Fordo-nothingness, the present Congress is a long ways ahead of all its predecessors. The House Committee on commerce havo the subject of the Reading railroad now before them- It has been in foimally discussed, and the fact developed, that about ouo half the committee are opposed tany Con gressional investigation, believing if ouv is necessary, it is within the province of tho Inter-State Commerce Commission to make it. The question will be called up again to-moirow, when a dele gation of Knights of Labor who want a Congressional investiga tion, will endeavor to get a hear ing. Congressional investigation are always popular with a certain class of Congressmen, jjarlicularly if the corpoiations and individuals happen to be wealthy. Impecuni ous Congressmen want all the op portunity for fat pickings that they cau get, and they are sure to make the most of their opportuni ties. The latest proposed inves tigation is that provided by Mr. Mason's bill, which proposes to empower a Congressional commit- i tee to investigate all the trusts and i combines that have been entered into by firniR, corporations, and individuals in Coal, Sugar, Min ing, ar.d kindred subjects. The House Committee on Manufac tures h us unanimously agr(ed to report this bill favoiably and they are- expected to do so early th s week. Then these impecunious Congressmen will begin to in dulge in champagno and terrapin stew, nnd to ride to and from the Capitol in coupes instead of the plebeian street cars and berdics. It is said there is a strong lobby with unlimited cash behind them, who are here for the express pur pose of opposing Ibis bill. If it were not for this lobby it is ex trojtnely doubtful whether the in vestigation would ever have been proposed. Just wiry Secretary Vilas, late Postmaster General, shoulc.bave been willing and apparently anxi ous to go down a grade in oflicial dignity as he did in accepting the portfolio of the Interior Depart ment, has been quite puzzling to n great many people- The whole matter was explained, however, by the following official order vh:eh was made public on Satur day. Secretary Yilas has relieved As sistant Secretary Muldrow of the care of suj ervising laud decisions, nnd in the future he will devote bis personal attention to them: Which irenns in plain English that, from this time on, the entire public land system of the United States is to be manipulated in the interest of Cleveland's re-election Keep your eye on Vilas and his land decisions betwoeu now and next November. The Postoflice Department has issued a circular giving the con struction that the Department will put upon the new law con cerning the amount of printing or writing that may Lc placed on the wrappers of Btcond, third, and fourth class mail matter. This new law re cived the President ' signature on Sattuday. The anti-Randall Democrats in Congress uie wild with joy over the defeat of tfee llandall candi date U r the rhaiunanship of the Democratic Stale Central Commit tee, of Pennsylvania, and the passage by that committe of a res olution strongly endorsing Cleve land and commending his recom mendation for reducing the tariff. Mr. llandall keeps cool, and says the result will not change his legislative course one iota; but he docs not intimate what that course will bo during the present session of Congress. But it, is safe to say that his opinion on the tariff has not undergone any change since the adjournment of the foi tv-uiuth Congress. It is claimed by anti-internal revenue men, that Randall is with them in their extremest measures, while others will tell you that he ouly favors the abolition of the tobac co tax; and still a few, very few, others will tell you that he will favor tbo bill for reducing the tariff, that will be reported by the Committee on Ways and Means. The fact of the matter is, no one knows what Randall intends do ing. Ho has not commi'.ted him self. His ememies think that his defeat iu Pennsylvania w 11 de prive him of some of bis prestige and power in the House. We hall see. BETTER LIST.
