On last Saturday we met Mr. Philip
ShinlaUVr who keeps a hotel at La Cen
tre. Iie"Dave Urt a very interesting ac
count of the last day of I. T. Jen nor.
On Thursday of th'e week before his de
cease he went to Vancouver on matter
connected with his law-suits, and walked
back js far as Lockwoods. The next
day he went home, and from home start
ed to Thornton's. They iteard him cry
when he had sunk down exhausted, and
brought him to their house, and On Sun
day to Mr. ShinUfTer' hoWl ai Ia Cen
tre. Dr. Davis was at once called. Mr.
Shiutaffer h-d Jeniiey stripped and
washed, and put in a clean warm bed,
and such cordials administered best cal
culated to restore his retarded circula
tion. Dr. Davis said he was worn down
with fatigue, exposure, starvation and
want of the comforts of life. Mr. Shin
tafier employed two men to take care of
hiu, and attend to his wants. His was
out of his head tho most of the titne,
talking of his law-suits, and troubles.
Sunday or Monday Mr. Sbitrtaffer moved
hira up stairs, where ha would lie less
liable to be disturbed by people going
in and out Tuesday he wa4 more ra
tional, but spite of the skillful treatment
of Dr. Davis, he was evidently sinking,
lie soon began clicking aud finally passed
quietly away to a land where the wick
d cease from troubling And the weary
are at rest. Mr. Shintaffer did all that
could be done to alleviate his sufferings,
and so did Dr. Davis; these men deserve
great credit for their kindness, human
ity and care for this desolate old man.
Mr. Shintaffer got a good clean suit for
him to bo buried in and had him a re-pectable-looking
coffin made, and ho
was buried a a civilized man should be
in the cemetery neai La Centre. After
his burial Mr. Shintaffer took another
man with him, and went down to his
house, and secured his papers from de
struction. They found a patent to over
200 acres of land, and receipts of value.
He ways the hovel was & most misera
ble looking place. There were no led
clothes but two blankets. It was just a
little shanty in which a man could
scarcely stand upright People had al
ready taken possession of the place, tear-
ing COWU irllvca, mm ui iupu iuwh
shipment Mr. Shintaffer sent to the
County judge Uy Mr. Callahan to ap
point some one to take charge of the af
fairs arid property of the deceased.
Focr old Jtr.ncy rcet in rtace.
All hi warfare, trials cease,
Death keep off unkindly blows,
C-od protects him from hut foe.
To ward off their lists and spleen,
Dsafi dropped down a sacred screen:
Spite they showed tht little one,
To the mighty Christ was done.
Lift h is topied its weary treadle,
No i n now can mar or meddle,
Jenney rests in peace forever,
Where the wicked trouble never:
Kindness finds its own reward, ,
Une 14 him. dons to the Lord.

The same Wing one for each 200 votes,
and fraction over 100 cast for Hon. J.
S. Smith at tlte last general election, and
orie delegate at large from each county.
Wh also recommend that the new coun
ties of Crook and Kulraath send. one
delegate at large each to represent them
in the Convention, and that the number
of delegates allotted to the counties of
Waseo and L'.ke, from which these coun
ties were formed, Ihj appportioned be
tween the jld counties and the new.
The Committee reednimend that the
primaries be held on April 5, and the
County Convention on April 11; subject
however, to the approval of the various
County Committees.
The committee deem it fitting to pre
sent to the Democratic vots of the
Stat the following considerations:
We see approaching an election of
most vital import to our com ruon wealth
in all its interests, both public and pri
vate. Deeming honesty the best policy, and
in striking contrast with the course of
the opposing party, wt have named an
early dtty for the assembling of the Stat
Convention. Our principles as a party
will then be enunciated and our candi
dates placed in the field hubject to the
approval or condemnation tit tho body
politic.
The variance in the. vote of this State
during the past few years, and especially
the very close contest in the Presidential
election of. 1880, gives us much- hope
that, notwithstanding our present mi
nority with harmony; in our ranks, and
a well directed exertion of our strength,
we shall carry off the palm of victory.
Rut to assur this end it is imperative that
all Democrats should Contribute their un
divided support and hearty co-operation,
not only in the actual canvas, but from
its very initiation th county primaries.
We do not presume to trespass upon the
piovince of our popular Convention, but
do earnestly invoke all members of our
party to put aside past differences and
personal antagonisms, to unite in har
monious action in the various primaries,
and to send full delegations of represen
tative men to attend the State Con Ten
tion. We have cleefiied it fitting to
reduce the number of delegates in the
hope of securing tha personal attend
ance of those to be chosen. We es
pecially recommetd the formation of lo
5il clubs, where1 practicable, throughout
the State.
Relieving that thfc success of the De
mocracy is the welfare of the people, we
cordially invite all persons, regardless of
past political affiliations, who favor sim
plicity, economy and frugality in the ad
ministration of public affairs, to unite
with us.

quent lecturer and an earnest Christian
worker both in her Eastern home and
also in California. Much of her life has
been given to tho oaue of education,
and fho brings into the lecture fielda

Miss Willard says of her: "Few
woi kcrs have brought into our ranks so
much ability and culture qualities that
commend themselves alike to the con
servative and progressive classes of soci
ety, so that she commands success where
ever she goes." She visits Oregon hop
ing to strengthen the Unions already or
ganized, to enlist all good women in tho
grand work of tho W. C. T. U., and in
every possible way to promote the cause
of temperance among us. Like Miss
Willard, she oomes with ft woman's
heart, consecrated to the great work she
has undertaken.
