Rowena, the 16-months-old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Bonney of Eu
gene, died a horrible death-last night
from burns received yesterday morning.
The child was playing about the house
with her brother, while the mother was
in another room. There was a fire in
the fireplace, and the child fell into the
fire. The mother heard screams and
ran to find the child's clothing in flames,
which were extinguished as quickly as
possible, but not, however, until the
child bad been horribly and fatally
burned. The father of the untortunate
child is an ancle of Mr. A. A. Bonney of
this city.
. Senator Mitchell will doubtless be
greeted by one of the largest audiences,
if not the largest, that ever assembled
in the city. Especially will every free
silver Republican be anxious to bear his
views because of the past well-known
record of the senator on that subject.
His reasons for desiring -the triumph of
the Republican ticket bave been gained,
therefore, from a comprehensive study
of the situation. He will assure them
that the great principle of protection
alone is far too important to relinquish
tor the minor issue of finance. Senator
Mitchell is making a gallant fight for
the Republican- party in Oegon, and
few there are who' hear him that are
willing to fasten another four years of
depression and panic upon themselves
by following off Grandfather Democracy
and Boy Bryan. ,
MAY BECOME MILLIONAIRES.
Sirs. G. L. Gilbert One of the Heirs to
Vast Fortune,
A Lecture to Parents.
On the 15th 'day of September, 1896,
at Maomee, O., there was a gathering of
all the families 'who are descendants of
Jonathan Carver. He was one of the
early explorers of the headwaters of the
Mississippi river, and during this time
made peace between several tribes of In
dians, and was given a tractof land sixty
miles square where St. Paul and' Minne
apolis now are. This vast estate still re
mains unsettled, and the heirs are now
endeavoring - to prove their claim.
Among the number are Mrs. Harriet
Gunn of El Dorado, Kan.; Mrs. C. M.
Fizer of Andrews, Ind.; Trainmaster C.
E. Wells, Conductor F. W. Wells, Con
ductors L. C. Gunn and Geo. Gunn of
Toledo, O. ; and Lucian Gunn of Van
Wert. O. Should they succeed in estab
lishing their claim, each claimant would
undoubtedly be made a millionaire.
When Mrs. C. L.' Gilbert's'' attention
was called- to the above she was not in
the least surprised, although she is one
of the heirs. She remembers well when
a little girl of hearing her grandfather
say that he would not live to see the
claim settled, bat that the children
would. Of the heirs spoken of above
Mrs. Gilbert is the daughter of Mrs. G.
M. Fizer, and sister of C. E. Wells and
F. W. Wells.
v A Qnefctlon of Veracity.
-. A Chinese trial is going qn this after
noon at Justice Filloon's court. Tom
Louie owed Loy $16, and was offered $10,
which be took. While following him
up to collect the $6 remaining, an alter
cation arose,, resulting in the defendant,
Loy, who was also the creditor, striking
Louie over the head with a pistol. The
prosecuting witnesses exactly disagree
with the defense, the. latter disclaiming
that trouble of any kind occurred. . It is
a question of veracity, and it is hard
to tell which side is lying outright.
The Chinese have little regard for our
form of oaths. Now. if Justice Filloon
would bring in a chicken, and have the
witness, as he was called, chop its head
off, no earthly consideration could in
duce him to lie upon the witness stand,
for that is the form of the Chinese oatb.

The lecture last evening by Rev.
Parker was attended by a "large audi
ence, in the main youthful and of the
gentler eex. It would have been more
fitting had there been more parents in
attendance, for the lecture was directed
to them ; but as a large proportion of
the attendance who, if they are not, -will
most probably be parents some time,
they will remember the wiBe precepts
they haye heard and turn them to ad
vantage in the. future. The labor of
Mr. Parker is purely philanthropical,
and is calculated to make better men
and women of the little ones now grow
ing up around us. In his opening re
marks he stated that the work was an
old one, as old as ' the public school
itself. " ' - :-
The true mother is the one who rears
the child and guides its mental develop
ment with unfaltering care. He has de
cided the old question as to which is
the mother of the chick, the hen which
lays the egg, or the hen which batches
it, in favor of the latter. She it is who
cares for it, feeds it, and watches over
it until it is able to care for itself. The
same rule applies to the human mother,
and there is a distinction between off
spring and children. He bad known
mothers who administered an opiate to
make their babe sleep till morning so
that they might spend a social evening
away, from home, unencumbered by it.
With rare beauty of language he pic
tured the delight of the . young mother
who, in the joy of seeing her first born
smile up into ber face for the. first time,
calls quickly to her husband: "John,
John, the baby can talk !"'
He paid a high tribute to oar public
schools, calling them the bulwark of our
liberties, and urged his bearers to pre
serve (hem as the most important insti--tution
of this land. He finds that eev-enty-five
per cent of the insane are illit
erate, and only four per cent ot the
criminals have a high school education.
The greatest source of crime is parental
neglect. It has been said that whenever
you build a school yoa close a prison.
He has decided that the work .of the
teacher is more important than that of
the minister, for two excellent reasons.
He has but fifty-two hours each year to
inculcate morals and education, while
the teacher has 1400..' Then the minis
ter talks to those whose minds have'be
come set and calloused, while the teach
er's audience have plastic minds that
receive and retain the minutest impres
sion. It is therefore important that the
teacher bave - a good moral character,
and be believes parents should always be
vigilant over teachers, and if one is dla
covered "who - lacks in this requirement
to at once make it known to the proper
authority. ' From this on he pursued
the central thought of his lecture, the
relation of the parent to the teacher's
work, and urged that the parent should
work jhore in harmony with the teacher,
not always-to take the child's view of
the case when it has been chastised, and
to talk over the faults or virtues and
make know to the teacher, as far as pos
sible, the child a characteristics: to
sometimes visit the school ; and to fre
quently speak encouraging words to the
teacher, who really has more time in
hand to spend npon the children, than
the mother herself, sleep and play sub
tracted. The lecture was interspersed
with wit and readily adapted himself to
the good graces of the audience, who
learned lessons they will always remem
ber. -. "

The Bowery Girl.
Miss Ada Lee Bascom is more talked of
than any other lady who has ever at
tempted play writing. She is the cele
brated Western authoress who created
Harry Williams' very successful play,
A Bowery Girl." It was the dramatic
feature of the country last season. It is
repeating its past triumphs, this season.
A beantiful story of the typical Bowery
character. A melodrama interwoven
with delightful comedy. It is perfect in
its construction, and the plain, simple
story is told with such artistic ability
and 6tyle which has made Miss Bascom
famous as a most successful of lady
playrights. At the New Vogt opera
