good illustration to-day. Our citizens

Chinook Hind. -

days. The town ot Ranier gladly ac
ceded everything asked.
James Wetf 'e, who was sentenced to
one year in the penitentiary for larceny
from a dwelling, was taken to Salem this
morning by Sheriff Ward. This is a
young man yet in his teens, and, al
though no doubt guilty of the crime for
which he was sentenced, it is to be
hoped that bis term of imprisonment
will be reformatory, and that he will
leave the penitentiary a better man than
wnen ne entered.

t) Walla Walla liquor dealers to pay the

Wonder if this prodoct of the tea kettle
distillery at Weston passes as "tine Ken

A negro txp'ains the story of Jonah and
the whale as f llitis: Hia exposition of the

Is is net every one who can manage to

Ewtern Oregon bunch grass horses. There
waa a forcible illustration of thia tbe other
aa witn a disciple of Blackstooe, who, in
oompany with a vonng man ot the "same

and in attempting to dismount this "limb

A meeting of the missionary board of

After the transaction of routine busi
ness tbe question ot co-operaticg with
tbe American Baptist Home Mission So

jscted.
On motion it was decided to co-operate

with Col. Teal in this city, and was well
known to old residents. Last Thursday
evening, when Mess visited his honse in
Eugene, he apprehended mischief from
the young man, and followed him into
the room where his daughters were. He
did not arrive soon enough to save the
life of one of his daughters, but received
his death wounds in the attempt to rescue
them from the infuriated maniac. Mr.
Coleman was a highly respected citizen,
and his tragic death will be deplored.

Serious Fall.
Mr. Ernest Jensen, an employe of Messrs.
Pease & Mays, met witb a verv aerinna in.
cident this morning about 10 o'clock. He
was at work io tbe warehouse, fixing a
block and tackle oo the rafters for the pur
pose of hoisting goods, when, io attempting
to slide dowo by tbe rope it became unfast
ened and be fell to the flior a distance oi
about twenty five teet. Unfortunately he
struck on his head, and, as he bled pro
fusely from the ears and noje, it was feared
that some serioas injury bad been reeeiyed.
Mr. Jensen is a very careful aud cautions
man, and tbe accident could not have re
sulted from any neglect on hia nr Tt
aeema that he tied the block to a board that
waa resting on two rafters, an 1 when be
placed his weight oo the rope to slide down
tbe rope became nntied. He was picaed
op in an unconscious condition, and carried
in one of the Union P.cifio stretchers to his
residence near the Methodist church
Medical aid was summoned, bis inju ries re
ceived attention, and at last accounts ha
was resting as easily as could be expected.
He regained consciousness soon afterwards,
and it u hoped his injuries are not as ser
ious as apprehended at first. Mr. Jensen is
a very steady and industrious young man.
and has many frienJs who regret the un
fortunate a cident and hopi for his speedy
roecveiy.
Concerning Ben Foster.
The numerous friends of Ben Foster, the
New York artist, will siocerely regret to
learn of this bis second burn out within a
year. The first occurred last summer,
while he was at Buzzard's bay replenishing
bis portfolio with marines. His loss at that
time waa almost the entire joo tents of bis
studio, though fortunate considering the
times. When he returned ti New York be
fitted up a new studio in one ot tbe fire
proof buildings on Fifty-ninth street, diag
onally opposite Cornelius Vanderbilt's new
residence, and with the new surroundings.
and, perhaps,, with something of the inspir
ation of the great fair he seems to have put
on new activity. Competent judges say he
has done soma of his best work in tbe last
few months.
A week ago Monday morning, while he
was absent in Brooklyn, the fire-proof build
ing was gutted by fire, and all Foster's ef
fects were destroyed or ruined. Among
which were two pictures which be was pre
paring for the sprit.g exhibition, and which
were more ambitions and, his artist friends
say, more successful than any he ha 3 hith
erto attempted. Not a dollar of insurance.
He delayed taking ont a policy, because
when he went into his new studio be had
very little, and supposed the building fire
urnof and so felt safe. Foster is a plucky
fellow, and, notwithstanding this severe los
at a time when he is doing the best work ot
his life, there's lots to come yet, or we are
no true judges or prophets. He has our
heartfelt sympathy all the same.

During tbe winter fall rains continued.
. ana now, in Marcn, when Dowers should
bloom and green leaves apear on trees,
one swages upon me au witn two inches
of snow on the ground. The elements
are not under control ot mortals, and 11
may be philosophical to take matters, ste

A woman tramp is eliciting some at
tention from the valley papers, and she
. Li thus described by the Grant's Pass
Courier: A female hobo stopped here
a iew aays in "nitung the road" south
ward last week. She-camped with five
of the male fraternity in the company's
. woodpile and seemed perfectly at home
in her queer calling. She is about
thirty-five years of age and had the ap
pearance of a farmer's hard-worked
wife. There was nothing vicious look
ing about her. When seen by the
Courier reporter she was seated inside a
square breakwind composed of ties near
the S. P. D. & L. warehouse, eating a
biscuit she had probably begged some
where in town. She had an old news
paper spread on her laD to catch the
f crumbs, and when she got through eat
' ing she fished out some fine cut tobacco
and proceeded to prepare a cigarette.
She hadn't much to say. When asked
where she was going she simply pointed
and said "south."
