Death of Thomas Heath. Thom
as Heath, the manager of tie Portland
branch of the house of It. C. Janion &
Son, Liverpool, was found dead in his
bed at his home on Sixth street, near
Hall, in Portland, on Monday last.
About six o'clock in the morning a
watchman in the house learned that his
employerwas indisposed and sumraonr
ed Dr. Ghisel'in, who, being somewhat,
unwell himself, delayed his visit.
About half after seven o'clock the Chi
naman knocked at the door of his em
ployer's room, and, receiving no re
sponse, opened it and entered, finding
Mr. Heath dead, and observing indica
tions that he had passed away in an
epileptic fit. Deceased was subject to
attacks of this character and had been
for some time confined to his pom
with illness. Coroner I Cook assumed
charge of his effects. . Mr. Heath,' had
lived in Potlland during the greater
part of the last twelve years. He was
a man f fine business qualifications,
reserved, always kind, and hid the re
spect of all associates. 1
At last "Win. Goveneur Morris, the
pompon official who has had things all
his own way in Alaska, for several
months, is to be brought to account.
There will be a good deal of rejoicing
if the charges brought ! against him by
Commander Pearson shall result in
s his permanent retirement.

LETTER FROM SALEM,
A copy of your paper of the 7 th
inst is upon my desk, and I must tell
you that I am pleased to know that
you place yourself squarely upon the
only true platform for men of all par
ties; viz: "Freedom of the people's
representatives from caucus dictation."
I hope joa will place at the head of
your columns this apothegm. "A .rep
resentative of the people has no right
to enter a caucus which decrees, tinder
any circumstances, the extinction of
his representative character."
As you say, a representative can
properly go into an assembly for con
sultation, and I would add that a vote
taken therein to ascertain the opinion
of a majority may be entirely proper;
and such fact of preference, or opinion
by a majority, is of itself a reason
which every representative should
carefully weigh, but it must not be
held as paramount to the oath he has
taken that he will support the consti
tution of the State and of the United
States, nor can it relieve him from any
responsibilities he assumed by becom
ing a representative'. We might go
further and say truthfully that every
person ought to be enlightened as to
his moral and legal obligations aud
that no party can absolve him from
the duty of a rational nd moral self
control. If it could then hat be
comes of individual responsibility
What becomes of human progress
Taking it for granted that we are ra
tional beings, with duties and con
sciences, and therefore with responsi
bilities of which We cannot be divested
by the vote of a caucus, is there not
still a large field for the useful opera
tion of political parties! We could
have all the benefits without the
abuses, the latter of which have been
too common f late. I am glad to
know that you consider king caucus
ito essential part of the Democratic
party, and I am waiting Lo hear from
the organs that the destructive caucus
is not necessarily a part of the machin
ery of the Republican party.
I hope you will continue fo discuss
this question until there shall be a thor
ough understanding of the proper re
lations of the people, political parties
and the State. .Yours for the right.

Accidental Shooting. The com
munity, says the Ashland Tidings, was
shocked last Tuesday evening by the
ws that Hobait lay lor, one of the
pioneers, a well known and universally
esteemed citizen of the county, had
been accidentally shot and killed while
out hunting iu the Cascade mountains.
Following are the particulars of the
sad affair, as given to us by those who
were at the scene of the tragedy:
A hunting party had been cut upon
a tour to Buck lake, Pelican bay and
other places in ' he Cascades, and were
on their return home. On Tuesday
they camped about half a mile below
the summit on the east side of the
mountain on the Dead Jndian road.
Mr. Taylor and his nephew ascended
lo the summit and wounded a deer,
which started off into the brush. They
were oil the ridge between the two
roads to Duck lake and the Cove. The
ridge is covet ed with a dense thicket of
brush, and it was in this thicket that
the wounded deer had taken shelter.
Mr. Taylor told the young man to
keep up on the ridge while he himself
would go down below, the brush, and
follow along the bottom of the ridge to
the southward. Instead of doing this
Mr. Taylor (probably followed the
trail of the deer) turned back and en
tered the brush and the young man,
seeing what he supposed was the deer,
half hidden in the bushes about sixty
yards below him, fired quickly with
fatal aim. The bullet struck just be
low and a little back of the arm-pit on
the left side, passed entirely through
the chest and out through the clothing
on the right side. He died instantly.
Frank James, the notorious desper
a lo of the Northwest, and brother of
Jesse, whose tragic death at the hands
of his pals some months ago, furnished
so much food for the news gatherers,
on the evening of the 5th returned to
Missouri and surrendered himself io
Governor Crittenden, at Jefferson
City, remarking as he handed to him
his brace of re velvets, "you are the
only man except myself who has han
died them for twenty years." He
seems to be actuated by a hope of
clemency ard a desire lo return to civ
ilized life. He claims that from 1877
to 1881 he followed the peaceful pur
suit of agriculture on a rented farm
near Nashville, lennessee. Tbe Ford
boys, who murdered Jesse, are much
agitated for fear that he will be par
doned and claim that his desire to re
form is not sincere and his action is
for the purpose of getting a chance to
be revenged on them for killing his
brother. -
On last Tuesday the team attached
to McGregor's butcher wagon got the
better of the young man who was driv
ing it, broke the tongue, got loose from
the wagon and made a lively run down
Main street te the old stage stable,
where thev are kept The enly dam
age done waa the breaking of the tongue
of the wagon and slight cuts and braises
upon the horses.
OBITUARY.
Mr. Simeon Wheeler of this :ity,
died at his residence last Monday
morning, aged 50 years, 1 mouth a
nd 9
days. His funeral took place
Presbyterian church, Tuesday,
o'clock P. M., from which place
at the
at two
his re
mains were taken to the Odd Fellow's
cemetery. In writing his' 'obituary we
can do no better than substanti
produce the kind words and just
ally re-
eulogy
pronounced by Rev. J. R. N. Bell, the
officiating clergyman at the funeral:
Mr. Simeon Wheeler was born in the
State of Massachusetts, Sept. 1, 1823,
and while yet an infant his parents re
moved to Rochester, New York. At
the age of 14, his family changed their
residence to Oakfield, Genessee coun
ty, New York, where at the age of 2(3
he was united by marriage to Miss Es
ther A. Clark, with whom he lived 33
years in tranquil delight, and who now
survives him and grievously mourns
her irreparable loss. Soon after mar
riage he with his trustful wife moved
to Batavia, New York, from which
place he emigrated to Oregon in 1853,
patiently braving and enduring all the
hardships incident to travel in those
days that "tried men's souls," and set
tled near Oakland, in Umpqua county,
Oregon. His good judgment and per
severing energy soon insured him a
competency, whikr I, is-' many virtues
and uianir qualities remained with
him until his sun set beyond the hori
zon of immortality. The happy exer
cise of these ennobling traits prepared
him for the summons of his Master,
which came last Monday morning at 9
A. M.
The offices of public trust which he
held were about as follows- Iu 1860
he was elected Treasurer of Umpqua
county, and was rt-alected in 1862.
After the consolidation of Umpqna
with Douglas county, about tcn years
ago, he was elected one of the Commis
sioners of this county and re-elected to
the same position in 1S7G. In all
these positions he served his constitu
ents with fidelity and , uprightness. In
every respect may it be said of him he
was honest, upright and circumspect as
a citizen, straightforward and trust
worthy, kind and indulgent as a hus
band and father, and now leaves the
conipanien of his youth and four chil
dren grown up to manhood and wo
manhood to shed the unbidden tears of
affection and bereavement over his un
timely giave. The unselfishness of
his nature led him to the work of de
votion to his wife and son, who is yet
upon his bed of sore afrlicticn, which
no -doubt hastened his premature de
cease. Thus Simeon Wheeler, a suc
cessful man in business, with perhaps
not an enemy in the world, died in the
midst of his kind family, with quiet
and peace, and nov rest3 until the res
urrection morn.
