LETTER .WRITTEN BY LINCOLN.
Picked Up. in a Scrap Pile in New
York City.
Soiled and fadod.rn and frayed,
a letter written by Abraham Lincoln
a few months before his assassina
tion, has been found In some rubbish
and papers on Broadway near the
postofflce in New York. It reads
as follows:
"Executive Mansion, Washington,
Nov. 21, 1804. To Mts. Bixby, Boa
ton, Llass.: 1 have been shown In a
file of the wnr department a state
ment of the adjutant general ofMassa
chusetts that you are tBe mother of
five sons who haverdled gloriously on
the field of battle.
"I feel hdw weak and fruitless must
be any words of mine which should
attempt to beguile you from a grief so
overwhelming. But I cannot refrain
from tendering you the consolation
that may be found In the thanks of
the republic they died to save. 1
pray that our Heavenly Father may
assuage the anguish of your bereave
ment and leae only the cherished
memory of loved and lost and the sol
emn pride that must be yours to have
laid so costly a sacrifice upon the al
tar of freedom.
Yours very sincerely and respect
fully, A. Lincoln.

Cris Breeding's Team Ran Away.
About one of the liveliest runaways
which has been witnessed in Pendle
ton occurred this forenoon. ChrlB
Breeding stopped his team and buggy
in front of R. -ilartin's grocery and
got ait of the rig, leaving them un
tied. They became frightened and
ran up Main street, past the O. It. &
N. depot, and over the hill by the pub
lic school until they reached College
street. There they turned north and
when near the junction of Railroad i
and College the neck yoke broke and
let the tongue of the buggy down.

was broken. The team then hung up i
on a fence and was caughU The
only damage done was the breaking
of the buggy tongue and one spoke
lars and these stories have caught a
number who have gone to Seattle,
thinking that all they would need was
a few dollars and they could sit down
on one of the best quarter sections
of wheat land in the Northwest and
by very little . work they could reap
great benefits. I was one of the suck
ers. I got caught in the same trap
that many others have. I went to
Seattle a month ago and stayed there
a few weeks but after looking around"
I found things were not to my liking
and I pulled out for the Walla Walla
valley. There T found land bo high
that I was not able to reach it and am
now going to California to see if I
like that country. I am well pleased
with this country, but things are a
great deal different to what they have
been painted to us Easterners. I
think if I had a few thousand dollars J traordinary
1 would look around here a little and
possibly buy a home for my family.
However, I may come back and locate
hereabouts."
CHARGES AGAINST SALOON MAN.
He Continued to Do Business After j
Forfeiting License.
Walla Wtalla, March 11. Prosecut-
ing Attorney Cain yesterday filed an i
information against N. R. Norman,
charging him with conducting a sa-'
loon without a license. The case is
the outcome of the trouble in tho ,
council over the forfeiture of the sa
loon license of Andrew Larson, who
pleaded guilty in the court to having
sold liquor to minors. Upon this rec
ord the license supposed to be owned
by Mr. Larson, was annulled by ttyJ
council. It was afterwards ascertain
ed that N. R .Norman owned an in
terest In the license, and as no action,
had been brought against him, his
share in the license was held to be
unaffected by the council's action.
Norman proceeded to do business
after he had been served with the no
tice of forfeiture, hence the new ac
tion against him. The state will main
tain that the license in Jts entirety
is forfeited, and that the saloon is be
ing conducted contrary to "law. The
case will be warmly contested.
Notice to Contractors.

A Union County Man Talks About the
Situation.
From a gentleman who is in Baker
City fro mTJnion county, says the Her
ald, it is learned that politics in that
neck of the woods are fairly boiling.
Candidates for the various county of-
CeSn,lreef P16""1"1 as fleaB on!ble and manly duties of his post He
been placed in possession of a story
of Lincoln that is not so well known.
In 1865 five brothers by the name of
Cummings enlisted in Company D.
Fifth Vermont Volunteers. At the
battle of Savage Station, Va., fought
June 29 1862, four of the Cummings I
brothers were killed, the company
losing that day forty-four killed and
wounded out of a total of fifty-nine
officers and men. 'President Lincoln
learned that the mother of these sol
diers was a widow, and by his direc
tion, Secretary Stanton discharged
the remaining brother from the army,
saying, "The president of the United
States thinks your mother has suffer
ed enough for the country in the
death of four sons; she is fairly entit
led to the remaining boy; he sends
you home, therefore, to your mother,
whose need of you in her hour of ex-
bereavement is greater
than that of the country." The
above is not the exact language of
Secretary Stttnton, but it correctly
expresses its substance and spirit. The
striking thing in this letter is not so
much its humanity as its sense of jus
tice. It was because the surviving
soldier was' a widow's only son and
her sole support that Lincoln thought
fully insisted on his discharge. And
yet, as late as 1862, Richard H. Dana,
a famous Boston lawyer, wrote of
Lincoln to Charles Francis Adams:
"He likes rather to talk and tell stor
ies than to give his mind to the no-

Furnish's star in Union county is
steadily in the ascendant, Geer's
treachery rankles deep in that sec
tion. His land frauds, hlB noted Plum
mer affair and his innumerable breaks
since he has occupied the executive
chair, stamps him as by no means a
logical or welcome candidate for re
nomlnation. A desperate effort will
be made by the clean wing of the re
publican party in the county to wipe
the names of Geer and Moody off the
slate for all time.
The county seat fight is lost sight
of for the present. Church vs. Scriber
and Simon vb. Mitchell are the two
paramount issues. The consensus of
opinion seems to be that should Si-J
mon go under next week in Multno
mah county, it will be adlos to Moody
and Geer.
No matter what Church does In

Moody will be as dead a duck as Si

known as the author of the emancipa
