In the Colfax wheat country plough ing has been in operation for a week. Samuel Stnrgis. cashier of the Pendle ton First National bank, died in Pen dleton at 9 :05 o'clock Tuesday night. . The heavy engines recently placed on proven a success. They are capable of JlAuling thirty loaded cars. f Mrs. A. J. Brookhouse, who sustained a severe iraciure oi trie nip several months ago, which confined her to her bed, is able to be about again. Dr. Hollister has been attending the injured Conductors Miller and Mitchell, be tween Portland and Pendleton, have been relieved from the eervice of the O.

County court will meet on the 10th for the purpose of combining some justice of the peace precincts with a view economy. It is contemplated to re duce the number from nine, as at pres ent, to four. This will also decrease the number of constables. The funeral of C. V. Lane occurred at 2 o'clock today, Rev. W. C. Curtis offi ciating. The wife Qf the deceased was chief among the mourners. He was buried in the Odd Fellows cemetery. Thus passes away another of Eastern Oregon's honored citizens. he time is close at hand for nnisnninff the equirrels that isjkhe beet time, for if poisoned soon'-thlre -will not be nearly so inany". to poisvjt C. F. Pick ard, living near Clyde, Wash., scattered a quart of poisoned wheat on a small portion of his land a few days ago, aud as a result, the next morning foundlTo dead equirrels. v - Coroner's inquest the two words have been coined, though so long ago it would seem as unlikely as would now the originals from which they sprung. The old English form is "crowner's quest," and implies the ancient habit of that official in London who was ac customed to walk around the by-ways of the city and hunt up dead men. Law lessness Eas so far decreased since those days that it is not necessary to do that. A questionable death is a rarity, and there are plenty of persons to apprise the coroner of the fact, instead of, a formerly, the coroner announcing to t people how many dead men he hid found that dav. I poor unfortunates are crowded together almost like sheep. This condition makes it well nigh impossible for those who are insane primarily from nervous disorders to ever get well. Two or more are placed in a single small room, even in the more violent wards, and there is constant danger of one patient abusing another. Another difficulty is that in the present over-crowded condition of tbe asylum every available cell must be utilized. Hence if it happens that a peaceful ward is more crowded than a violent one, the peaceful inmate, per haps a convalescent, is thrust amid the noise and turbulence of the violent ward, and it does not take a great length of time to render the patieut as bad as the rest. It is altogether probable that no asylum in the United States is as crowded rb the one at Salem, and vthere is urgent demand for the construction at once of the Eastern Oregon branch asy lum. The latest dispatch from Salem shows that tbe eame circumlocution which has been going on for two years is yet in effect. Following is the dis patch from Salem : "Since the iast decision of the supreme court, reversing the judgment of the lower court in restraining the state board of commissioners from locating a branch asylum in Eastern Oregon, there has been more or less talk as to why the constitutional question has not been passed upon. Though many prefer that the board should proceed with the build ing, others are determined to have the court commit itself more definitely on tbe power of the legislature to locate the institution away from the seat of government.. The-latter have not vet evolved a definite plan, but the state ment is warranted that a rehearing will be asked or a new suit begun." United Artisans. A. Delay Almost Criminal. The branch asylum question drags Blow length along. Meanwhile the ntf ber of inmates to the single state asyl at Salem keeps increasing, until its Those who attended the entertain ment of the United Artisans last even ing were delighted with the excellence of the musical program given. Espe cially worthy of mention was the euphonium solo of Mr. J. G. Miller, whose triple tonguing was unusually fine, and the voe.il solo of Mr. J. A. Per kins, who was enthusiastically encored. The Artisans have a feature different than other' secret societies, which will undoubtedly make them very popular. That is that ladies are admitted and have the same rights and privileges as the gentlemen. Following is the pro gram as given last evening: Euphonium Solo "Honeysuckle Polka," . .

The annual election of officers at th meeting last night resulted as follows : T. A. Ward, president. J. S. Schenck. secretarv. Emil Schanno, treasurer. F. H. VanNorden, foreman. S. L. Thurman, first assistant. Harry Liebe, second assistant. Delegates J. S. Schenck, J. L man, Victor Marden. ' pa- uV thej I Coroner Butts, in response to a sum mons, left early Wedneeday morning for Kmgsley. About two miles from Kingsley, on the Neabeck farm, Alborn D. Sanborn, an old man 72 years old, lost his life, and on the Sunday evening previous. He had been stopping at Neabeck's place about seven months, coming there from the Soldiers' Home in Washington. Sunday evening he started to return from Mr. Mayhew's place to Mr. Neabeck's. This was the last seen of him alive. The following morning, Mr. Neabeck, missing him, started to find him, with other neigh bors. They first found the horse he was riding quietly browsing by the roadside, but with the saddle damaged. Half a mile further they came upon Sanborn's body, lying on the road. A hasty examination showed that life had been extinct for several hours. It was supposed that behad lost control of the horse by being brushed with a project ing root of one of the oak grubs which were used in making the fence, a fact testified to by a scratch over the eye and forehead, and that started the horse to "bucking," with the result of throwing the rider violently to the ground. It is the opinion of the coroner he died al most instantly. Marks in the road prove that the horse had become un ruly. Coroner Butts took the body to Kingsley and summoned a jury there, and the burial took place from there. Mr. Butts returned to the city at 1 o'clock today. Following is the verdict of the coro ner's jury: Kingsley, Oregon, Feb. 5th We, the jury empanelled by the cor ner to inquire into the cause of the dea of the deceased, find as follows : mat ftis name was AiDorn JJ. caul born : that said deceased was a native o New York City; that he was about five feet five inches, in height; weight about loo pounds and of the age of 7'J years, light complexioned ; that he belonged to the G. A. R. ; that he entered the ser vice oi the United States on the first day oi October, 1801, as a private in com pany A, Second regiment Colorado cav alrv, and was finally discharged on the firsVdayof October, 1864; that he had no known relatives in this state; that he came to his death on Suuday evear ing, February 2d, by being thrown from a horse which he was riding, from some unexplainable cause, and which caused his death. Said accident happened on the farm of W. H. Neabeck, near Kings ley, Wasco county, state of Oregon. Dated this 5th day of February, 1890.

For Eome time past now the section crews have been reduced to one man thelioss himself a force totally inade quate to keen the track in a reasonably safe condition for any length of time. A Different Aspect. The alien ffs office has been re modelled under the direction of Depnty Sheriff Kelly, so that hereafter it will be a pleasure for the public to transact business in that office. The taxpayer, on approaching the receiving teller of that institution with his sack, will be greeted with an affable smile from across a counter. The receipt will be written facing him, and not as of yore taken to a desk in a corner and made out in ob scurity, the official's back to the county's patron, leaving tbe latter to conjecture as to what is being done. Pens and ink are handy for use, and a sloping desk mutely invites the visitor to use it. The light falls just right, from behind, and on to the documents in use. The long desk is supplied on the inner side with drawers for books, pigeon holes for files, and a cash drawer, dispensing with a trip to the heavy eafe every time a cash transaction is" made. The grimy walls are covered with wall paper of neat de sign, and altogether the office presents a very attractive appearance. The wonder is, theso convenient changes have not been made vears ago. East End Quae. Renovating the itoad Bed. ' r Now that spring is open, the O. R. & N. will commence grading up the road again, and repairing injuries to the road bed occasioned by wash-outs, slides, etc. To this end over 500,000 ties have been ordered for use between The Dalles and Pendleton, and will ehortly be distrib uted along the line.
