Important Freight Itrelslon.
RrmsoriELi), Ills., Oct. 1. An opii ion
was rendered by the Illinois supremo oourc
yestesday involving questions of the power of
the Stato lcuislaturo to reuulate rates charged
bv railroads for freights carried to points out
side of Illinois, and whether the act prohibit
ing unjust discrimination in such rates is not
in contravention to the constitution, in a
rise wherein 00 per cent, larger rate was
charged on a haul from Oilman to New York,
though the distance from Peoria was greater
by 80 miles, it was held by the court that tho
charge was unjust, excessive, exorbitant and
unlawful, and in effect the court upholds the
authonttvo of railroad and warehouse commis
sioners to regulato freight charges from points
in Illinois to points outside the State.

hanged at Galloway, was found guilty as ac
cused, of the murder of Kayanaugh. The
jury also recommended Walsh to mercy on
account of his youth. The jury also recom
mended Walsh to mercy because there was no
positive evidence that he actually fired the
shot which caused Kavanaugh's death. The
prisoner was very violent and shouted loudly
that witnesses had given false evidence. He
was sentenced to be hanged on the 28th.
Judge Lawson said ho would forward tho

FOBD-8 EVIDENCE.
The followinz is the evidence in full as
o-iven bv Ilobt. Ford. It is probably ss well
or us to state that Mr. Ford is a man of
good character and his word is regarded as re
liable :
I came here Tuesday; John Cooper and
others asked me to see Nichols and see what
he would do on the Senate qui stlon; hutted
Nichols and found him in a rom near Stattn
man office; called him into back part of hall
and had a talk about I'. S. Senatorship; fa
vored Mitchell's election and have lor the last
week; before that I was an anti-Mitchell
man; after the majority of Republicans voted
for Mitchell on first ballot, I changed to a
Mitchell man, for I favor the majority rule;
wo talked (he Niohols) sometime; I can only
civo in substance of what was said; will five
as much as I remember; asked him how about
Senatorahin? Who he thousriit would be
elected; he said he 'lidn't know, r-nd he went
on to say that he didn't think Mitchell would
bo, as there wero 1C or 18 of them that would
hold out; don t remember anything more un
less he said thete 16 held the balance of
power, and I think right here this money
question came up, but don't remember who
mentioned it first; I believe that I said to him
that 3S000 or $10,000 would be a very nice
thing for a man, and vote for a man of hi; own
pat ty; I think IN ichols said H would tie nice
10,' a man in his old sge, but I couldn't think
ol taking It; what 1 said in regard to tins mat
ter I said to Nichols as a joke and for fun; I
hare said the same thing to other men. but I
never approached Mr. Nichols with the inten
tien of offering him moucy or using any im
proper influence to chauge him or any other
man. Well, the facts are, I regarded all Mr.
Nichols said as a joke ai d idle talk; I knew
that so far as I was concerned that I meant
nothing and thought of nothing in regard to
money or using money; 1 would say this as
two-thirds of the Republicans had voted for
Mr. Mitchell on that eround, I urged the
election of Mr. Mitchell; after leaving Mr.
Nichols at the close of that conversation 1
came to the State house; I talked with Chas.
Johns, of Dallas, that day; I talked that day
with Lee, Truitt, Patterson and Hawley on
the Senatorial question; do not remember
saying that this election furnished a good
chance to make lots of money; do not remem
ber having talked Senatorial question with
B. Simpson and ISroclunio on the way to the
State house on Wednesday; did not talk with
Hrochman on the Senatorial question at tho
State houte; did not see Nichols at State
house on that occasion, but saw htm sometime
in the forenoon in the hall of the House; I
told him that I was going homo to-day and
that they had better elect Mitchell; he said
he didn't think so, or that there was nothing
in it; I think I told him there might ba $8000
or $10,000 in it if a man knew how to get it;
he made a remaik that he couldn't think of
any thing- of that kind; I said, Frank, that
won't do; that's all I can remember.
VM.MilMi TO THE CltOSS.
Some weeks ago Mrs. Dr. Owens and sev
eral other charitably disposed ladies and gen
tlemen undertook tho reformation of a young
woman who had fallen into a trap on fourth
btnet. and on her expreesion of a desiro to
leave the life she had just commenced to lite,
took care of her and nursed her from sickner-s
to comparatively good health. Through the
kind offices of her benefactors she has been
enabled to shake off the crip of vice that was
tightening every day, and is now living with
a good family. Iu a few days Bhe will be
sent to her mother in San Francisco, who as
vet has no know lodge of the girl's venture,
and desires hor to return. The drummer who
took such an interest in the girl's welfare at
the start, and who promised to return in a
littlu while and give her a name and a home,
lias not been heard fiom since, and it may be
possible that his heart is not as large as he
thnnrrlif it. wan. ITnwovRr. the voiuirr womin
appears to be determined to cling to her re
pentance and her life may yet be one of use
fulness, instead oi a flash that would not last
but a momeut. Another woman takon by the
same ladies and gentlemen at the same time,
grow tired of reforming and returned to her
infamy, and rejected the kind advances of
those who would befriend her. She prefer
red an easy life to one of labor.
A PiTiroL Case. A Mrs. Crawford, who
lives in tho noighborluod of Ninth and Hall
Btreets, was in the polite court yestorday on a
charge of using abusiuo language tc a Mrs.
Pritclurd, her neighbor. Tho defendant
sat in couit with an infant in her arms and
three other small children about her. Tho
city attorney proved by witnesses the
language used, but by an oversight
forgot to prove that the offense was committed
in the city of Portland, county of Multnomah,
States of Oregon. United States of America.
The defendant's counsel, A. J. Moses, there
upon moved to dismiss, and the court enter
tained the motion. This may have been a
neat flank movement on tho part of tho de
fense, but the question arises as to
whether it would not hae been
ihn better policv to have cone
ahead and disproved tho charges, rather than
stop tho defer dant's mouth. Counselor
Campbell would say not, but the proceedings
ding the mother into court with her babies.

A DISHONEST EMPLOYE.
Attempt to Kalse an Old Ma out or f30,
nnd Make a Great Mistake.
Yesterday morning Joseph H. Cbricton, of
Kansas City, bought a first-class ticket for
home, via St. Louis, for $175, and when lav
ing the 0. R. & N. Co. ticket office lost his
tickjt, which was found by a young man who
gave ash is name to the police W. H. 1'heil,
a draughtsman in the engineer's department
of the O. R. & N. Ci. The finder advertised
for the loser in tho 'Telegram directing him to
call on W. J. Teall at the engineer's office and
get the ticket by paying for the notice. The
stranger did not seo the adveitisement and
did nut miss the ticket until he reached the
gang plank to go aboard the ship. Phiel or
Teall was there and demanded $30 for tho re
turn of the ticket. Tl is was refused, and
after a few words he offered to take $20. Mr.
Cbricton agreed to pay $10, but that was not
enough for Phiel, as he said he had paid out
$8 50 for advertising. Officer Beach took
him to the police t ition, where his pockets
were searched, but the ticket was not found.
Officer Belcher took him back to the Claren
don hotel, where he said his friend had it, but
he wanted the matter kept quiet so that his
friend would not be implicated in the job.
Officer Belcher finally concluded that
Phiel was lving about the matter, and
succeeded in making him own up, and deliver
the ticket over, which he pulled out of his
shirt front. Sir. Chricton gave the fellow $5
when he ought not to have given him a cent.
Phiel's excuse for his conduct is that he was
hard up and wanted to rane some money. H
has made up his mind that he will be dis
charged from the company's employ, as a man
who would do a trick of that kind ought to
be.
The New Comet. Any one who rises at 5
o'clock in the morning can get a good view of
the new cmet, provided the sky is clear.
This lisitor is then above tho eastern horizon,
a little to the south of the point where the
Hxht of dawn is slrongest, flashing upward
toward the zenith like a brilliant brand. It
may even be seen after the sun has risen. It
may be that the tail is visible above the east
ern I orizon before the break of day, for at
times when tho atmophere is steady it may
be traced, after the sun is up, for probably a
distance of ten degrees. The nucleus is very
bright, quite as bril iant as the planet Venus,
which is at present the glory and beauty of
tho western heavens in the evening. A pair
of sharp eyes can, no doubt, pick out the
comet's head at mid-day, provided they only
know where to look for it. The fivo o'clock
riser, by ascending one of the hills, so as to
get above the fog which almost always hangs
at that hour over the valley, will have ample
time to gaze upon the comet before it grows
too dim in tno approacniug uuungni, anu win
have an opportunity also to eeo a glorious
sunrise.
Chinese Pheasants Mr. J. Denny of this
county, says the Albany Herald, received
from his brother, Hon. 0. N. Denny, U. S
consul at China, a consignment of fowls from
that country, among the number being twenty
four pheasants, seventeen female) and seven
males. These latter were set at liberty by
Mr. Denny on his farm, a few miles from Leb
anon, with the object of propagating tho
specios. Several broods have been seen this
fall, and the birds seem to be thriving nicely.
Sportsmen are earnestly requested not to
shoots these birds, so that they may have an
opportunity to increase. . The China pheasant
is larger than ours, and will not be readily
mistaken for it. It would be well if some of
our legislators would have a clause embodied
in the fame laws of this State for the protec
tion of these birds.
Alaska Notes. Capt. Morgan, of Seattle,
U. S. Inspector of Hulls, who recently re
turned from Alaska, says that the Idaho on
her last trip down brought 9,000 cases and
GOO barrels of salmon, besides the regular
shipment of turi, etc. The miners at Janeau

Douglas island are taking out, by sluicing,
from $1,S00 to $2,500 per week. The weather

KOTEs FROM THE FKOXT.
Clark's Fork, Sept. 24, 1882.
The Jocko Indians, who refused to allow
the company to pass through their reserva
tion, in consequence of which Contractor
Dunn had to abandon work, have come to
1 terms with tho company, whereby the latter
can pass through the reservation, nut tne In
dians may yet exact payment for the con
struction of buildings. The Indians will not
allow any whiskey to be sold on the reserva
tion. Friday night, the 30th inst., the N. P. R.
R. track will reach 300 mile stake, Hall'tt
having promised to get to that point by tne
last of this mon h. To do this Hnllett had
to grade ten miles side cut in 200 yards in
thorough cut in clay. He laid 20 miles of
track, built 3 largo bridge?, one 100 feet
high and 800 feetloog, during the past month.
It has beeu found to be necet-Sary to screw
up the How ttuss bridge at the first crossing
ot Clark's Fork every two weeks, as the lat
teral braces are dropping out continually,
Having been cut too snort, aim ror oineruus
takes in construction. The fault lies in a
great measure on the government for sending
out men who know nothing of the business to
view and accept loads.
The steamer Kittie Hallett. on Clark's Fork
trade, is laid up at Mosquito creek unable on
the account of lov water to reach the cross
ing She bursted her steam capstan and had
four holes knocked in her bottom while en
deavoring to make the trip.
BThe second crossing of (.'lark's Fork has
en changed again after being located three
times, the cause being that in driving piles at
the other crossing the piles would sink out of
sight in the mud.
Twenty miles this side of Missouli is to bo
built a trestle, 225 feet high and 9000 feet
long. This will bo the highest trestle in the
world, being composed of ten bents.
Small &. Ellis have completed their con
tract for clearing the right -t way and fur
nishing bridge timber for the Clark's Fork
and Pen d'Oreille.
The new town being built at the crossing of
Clark's Fork, called Shannonville, promises
to be the liveliest railroad town on the lino.
Ex-Postmastor Cole has completed the
wagon road from Cabinet Landing to the
crossing. It was a fat contract, ,
J. L. Hallett intends to push work on the
road as rapidly as possible until the weather
becomes too rough to work.
Very neat and tasty station houses are
being built along the toad at intervals of 20
miles.
The Balky Horse Again.
fhe passengers arriving by tho four o'clock
train from Salem last evening wore delayed on
the east side for some time by a balky team,
which refused to get off the boat, A Stand
ard rep irter (east side) rushed to tho assist
ance of the driver, a mild mannered granger,
and grasping the bridle of the stubborn horse,
attempted to drag him ashore. After gyrat
ing through the air for a few minutes, the
pencil shovcr let go at the polite roquest of
tho granger. The horses reared and pranced
to the great annoyance of the crowd who
wero trying to get en tho boat. A tug finally
became unhooked, and an cx-Standabd re
porter rushed in and put the matter to rights,
displaying great heroism. A member of the
Oretjonian staff suggested that the boat be
hacked out from under tho team, and another
chap wlio was not a newspaper man, and con
sequently had some sme, ran to the rear of
the boat, jumped in the river, swam across to
this city, and haviug secured a large lump ot
ice, returned with the intention of eliding it
down the horses' collar and thus astonishing
him into going, but the horse and his mate,
and the wagon and the mild mannered gran
ger, who, through the whole affair refrained
from profanity, bad been carried bodily up
the slip, and were gone. So the ice man
cooled his heated brow with the ice, anil a
member of the legislature who hod witnessed
tho affair, said the "dead lock is broken."
Trouble Amono the Indians. There has
been encamped latoly on the banks of Mary's
river, in the southern portion of town, says
the Corvallis Leader, a large number of Indi
ans belonging to the Wirm Springs, Calipooias
and some trom the Sdetz agency, numbering
in all probability two hundred. They came
here for the purpose, of picking hops in the
different hop yards in this vicinity, and most
of them have been 'employed at this work
ever siuce they came here, gathering in at the
camp occasionally for a day or two. They
have been generally quiet and t rderly since
their airival, but last Friday evening a diffi
culty grew up among them which required
the mterfirenco ot tho city marshal. One of
the bncks stole $19 from a buck belonging to
another tribe, which he refused to return.
Over this the two got into a tight, in which
their respective friends took a hand until it
became general. An Indian came into town
after Marshal Pygall.'who, when he got there,
fouud tho whole band, bucks and squaws, en
gaged in a lively free fight. After quelling
the disturbance he brought the offender down
to ah and put him in t'.e calaboose, where he
kept him till next morning, when his friends
settled the matter and lis was discharged. It
is likely if the marshal had not put m an ap
pearance at tho teens of aciiou theio would
have besn several good Indimj lj ing around
there iu a thor. time.
Uahii Tack George Wright Post, G. A.
It., gave a hard tack aud black coffee recep
tion to tho officers nnd members of the Grand
Encnmpuuiit, which uas instituted Thursday
night at Ro I Men's Hall. There were about
400 ptrsons present, including ladies and
other invited guests. J he banquet consisted
of baked beats, hard tack and coffee, aud the
old soldiers that is, thoy who spent three
pretty long years down in Dixie, took a hold
ns if they were familiar with that sort of fare.
Speeches were made by Hon, John F. Capita,
Senator Sigliu, Congressman M. O. George,
and many others, in response to touts, and
the patriotic references to old camp life and
tattle fields cansed many old veterans to
swell up with enthusiasm. The programme
was inteisptrsed with national airs and songs.
Geo C. Sears had charge of the ceremonies,
and Prof. R. O. White conducted the literary
and musical programme. Towards the close
of tho entertiinment Dr. Saylor, of George
Wright Post, presented to Freddie, ton of
Capt. and Mrs. Chas, Grant, the sliver spoon,
which wis a gift from the Post.
The Harvest iy Yamhill. The harvest
is Gni.hed and the general movement of grain
is virtually at an end, siys tho McMinnville
Rqvrter. Ouly a scattering load now and
then may be teen making its way toward the
warehouses, and the hum of machinery there
for the most part is hushed. So far we can
get no definite figures concerning the storage
at this place, but from eatimates given we
judge it to bare been iu the aggregate about
100,000 bushels. A tcarcity of cars renders
shipping very light. Probably uot over fifty
car loads hae left the three warehouses dur
ing the teascn. ,
