Former Oregonlani Here.
Hon. E. S. Joslyn and wife of Colorado
Springs are visiting Mr. and Mrs. S. L.
Brooks, who were old friends in Oregon
many years ago. Mr. Joslyn has now
been absent from the state 21 years, but
he was one of the earliest settlers. He
first came to Oregon in 1852 and located
at White Salmon in 1853, and was the
original owner of the famous "White Sal
mon farm. Speaking of Colorado Mr.
Joslyn says it is quite a prosperous state,
even at the present.. . At. Colorado
Springs, his present home, he says as
much building has been done in the past
year as in San Francisco and Portland
combined. Colorado Springs, as ie well
known, is the Los Angeles of Colorado,
a city composed of rich men. At its
25th anniversary there was a big cele
bration, at which there was present 280,-
000 people. Politics is in as confused a
state as it is here. The Republicans are
anxious to overthrow Populist domina
tion in the state. The eomewhat intri
cate plan is proposed of presenting
Henry M. Teller's name for governor,
with some good and acceptable Republi
can as lieutenant-governor. Teller can
be elected for anything in Colorado.
Teller will resign gubernatorial for sena
torial honors, and the lieutenant-governor
will be governor. Wolcott js gen

common people on account of his corpo

for the pleasure given them by the
music, which they assured him, was not
second to anything in - San Francisco.
A.Coloradoan was also preeent, who, it
was observed, was also very attentive
and was enthusiastic in his . praise.
Fortunately, the concert was one of the
best of the season. The most striking
cumbers were the solos of Mr. Peterson
and Mr. Miller and the descriptive se
lection, "The Dance of the Goblins."
"My Old Kentucky Home," a cornet
solo by Mr. Peterson, was very fine.
The simple air was first rendered with
rare expression and in a plaintive al
most voiceful manner, . Then came the
variations, more difficult and musical
than it might be supposed the tune was
capable of. Peculiarly .beautiful was
the tone of the ' cornet in its sudden
changes from high to low tones. . Entire
ly different was the euphonium or bari
tone solo of Mr. J. G. Miller. "He plays
in a subdued yet penetrative tone, mel
low, soothing and grateful to the ear.
The succession of short notes is as rapid
in the "Honeysucle Polka" as in the
"Kentucky Home," showing that Mr.
Miller has a complete mastery of his in
strument. - The serenade was also a
beautiful selection.

A Dismal NIC tot.
True heroism is raiely met with, but
the little party which passed Thursday
night on the turbulent river, with the
wind blowing a gale, and the waves
threatening every moment to swamp
their boat, were engaged in a heroic and
dangerous work. John Crate, Al and
Walter Klindt, Richard Hassel, and the
brother of the deceased, worked until 2
o'clock dragging the river for the body
of Mark Vinbibber. The circumstances
were peculiarly dismal. The night was
of murky darkness, the waves were roll
ing high; the winds blew fiercely and
howled mournfully as if possessed with
the spirit of sorrow ; every moment the
searchers expected to bring to the sur
face the .lifeless body of their former
companion and friend whom they loved.
It was a work as poignant with grief, as
filled with danger. At 2 o'clock they
desisted their laborB to change appa
ratus, and when with break of day they
again resumed their search, their first
cast was successful. .
