Kelsay
Porter Atones for His Crime With
Ui. Life.
Union, Or., Nov. 19. Kelsay Por
ter, tbe slayer of the Macho family,
was banged in this city this morning,
according to the sentence passed upon
him in October.
The execution took place vat 6;45
o'clock, on a scaffold that had "been
erected within tbeeucl03ure surrournP
ing thecpunty jail. The governor
had' been petitioned toectamat the
sentence, but no word waa" received
from him untill last night, ' when the
sheriff received a message stating he
could not interfere with the due course
of the law, and the sheriff at once
completed his arrangement for carry
ing out the order of the court.
Thursday ovenlng, Porter sent for
Rev. Shields, of the First Presbyterian
church, who called on the condemned
:narj, and gave him such spiritual ad
vice as ho could.
The crime for which Kelsay Porter
paid the death penalty was perpetrated
on the morning of January J, 1S9Q, at
Porter's farm in the eastern part cf
Union county, and was the killing of
in old man named Maehe, his aged
wife and their son, Ben Mache. There ,
had been trouble between Porter and
the Maches about the latter crossing
bis farm. On the morning of the kill
ing Porter had stationed himself on a
shed beside his barn, armed with a re
.leating rifle. The Maches came by.
Dbe old folks ridirig in a sleigh aud
the boy following on horseback. Por
ter opened fire on Ben, killing him in
stantly, then followed the old folks up
ind killed both.
Porter was tried in February, 1896,
and sentenced to bo hanged on April
10. His attorneys appealed to the su
preme court, but the lower court was
sustained, and on October loth of this
year, Porter was again sencenced, the
date of execution being fixed lor No
vember 19. A large petit'on was pre-
euted to the governor, askiii the
entince be commuted to life impris-
oinunt but was rr fused.

The waters of Maryland produee one
third of the total oyster supply of the
world. It yields twice as many of these
luscious bivalves as are grown in all for
eign countries combined. During the
present century it has put on the mar;
ket 400,000,000 bushels of the toothsome !
rpollusks. . These have sold for the
enormous sum of $250,000,000, Almost j
all of this country is dependent for the
abundance and cheapness of this edible
on the supply of the Chesapeake, From
here also come very nearly all of the
oysters used for canning1. In fact, tbe
output of this Industry in Maryland la
equal to one-sixth of all the fisheries of
the United States put together.
The quantity of oyster shells landed
upon the shores of Maryland during
the last century has been reckoned at
12,000,000 tons. Until lately the can
ning firms have had much trouble in
getting rid of the shells, having to pay,
in fact, for the removal of all they could
givq away, Recently, hloweyecj :
ihey have been able to sell them. They
are now shipped to all parts of the
country and are utilized variously for
roads, for lime, and employed in mak
ing coal gas. They have also been
found to serve almost as well as stone in
the manufacture of special grades of
Iron for railway beds. Cultivators of
oysters also employ them, having found
that they afford suitable surfaces for
young oysters to attach themselves to.
They are likewise used to some extent
as chicken, food. They are very gooii
lor hens, the shells of egga being large
ly made of them. The trade receives
$25,000 in a single year for the empty
shells,' ' I
BtarflsheB are the oysters worst
enemy. Other animals the young oys
ters have to guard against are crabs and
boring snails. They are also in danger
of beinjr stifled by mud. In Pacific wa
ters stringTays are their most dreaded
foes. The little crab that lives in the
shell of the oyster has always excited
much. Interest. It is found in about '
five per cent, of the bivalves. It is a sort
of parasite of the oyster, whose shell

The dikes surrounding the town broke

whole to-n was under two feet of
water. Hundreds of men worked like
trojans, but their work was in vain, ns

water being up to thrir knees. They
nearly perished with cold. Men in a
boat were within 300 yards of them,
but the current was so swift and the
night so dark that they dared not at
tempt to rescue the men.
Every sidewalk in town is out of
place, and at one time in every bouse
on the low land there was from four
inches to two feet of water on the

Hundreds of head of stock were
drowned and many barns and granar

The Great Northern track below

300 feet, and above the railway bridge
ono mile of the road is crippled.
It ia estimated that tbe damage to

cost at least $10,000 to repair the dikes
in this one district.

MARRIAGE FOR YOUNG MEN,
dually the Only Thing That WUt Make
Alan Save Mqney,
This Is a true story, and one that
will apply to many other young men
besides this particular one. It is a
great pity that this is true, says the
Pittsburgh Commcrical Gazette, but so
it is.
A prosperous business man who em
ploys quite a number of clerks 6aid re
cently that he had been led to the con
clusion that the young man who saved
and invested his earnings is au ex
ception to the rule. He was surprised
to find this to be true. The facts came
out when he began reducing his work
ing force as business fell off. The
first o be dropped were those who had
uo family depending upon them. Then
it was that they would confess they
hadn't saved a dollar, and had no
means whatever upon which to live.
This same man also observed that
the married men nearly all had saved
something, notwithstanding their
salaries were no larger, and in some j
cases less, than tnose drawn Dy single
men.
By quizzing these young, bachelors
he found that riotous living was the
principal cause of their poverty.
Home of them gambled on the quiet,
and others just naturally let it go
right and left as long as there was any
to go,
From this he concluded that mar
riage is a very good thing for a younjf
man, provided he marries a sensible,
practical sort of a woman. Hereafter
he proposes to give married men the
preference because, in so doing, he will
be helping those who are willing to
help themselves.

Vincent Sutton, postmaster at Ore-
town, Tillamook county, was wanted
for embezzlement by the United States
authorities. A plain tale, truly, and
only one which smacks of the vulgar
commonplace, but mark the difference.
This Sutton is a man of simple mind,
and to him it seemed no harm would be
done if he eked out tho pittance of his
otliee of postmaster by adding the sums
paid in lor purchase of money orders,
matter of some $355 when all was
countcdu lie would make it good in his
own time, and in truth he thought it no
wrong. But the nited States does not J
do business that way, and in due time
there came an indictment found by tho
Oregon gramd jurj Sutton heard. He
realized that he had done wrong. He
was ready to meet his punishment. Nay,
he was ready to go to meet it ait the peril
of his life. Nothing prevented if he
chose to leave the state. None could
find him in, the fastnesses of his own
trackless mountains, but it came home
to him what he had not realized when
he. took the monej-, that he hod done
wrong, and he alone must bear the
burden.
Now, this was not a matter of walking
downtown to give yourself up to the
police or the marshal. It was not even
matter of boarding a comfortable
railroad coach, to be hauled into Port

Now, when this simple tale was told
to Judge Bellinger, sitting in Portland

he, being a man, was troubled in mind.
for here was one who had set his life at

might have its way, and yet justice
must be done and punishment meted
as is set down In the books. Neverthe
less there are degrees, and Judge Bellin

TRAVELS OF A DIAMOND,
Story of a Paris Jeweler' Experience Wtta
a Very Fine Stone.
Some years ago a Paris jeweler told
story of one diamond which had passed
over his counter no less than 11 times.
It was a beautiful stone of nearly four v
carats, of perfect color and luster, but -
easily identified by means of a small
"feather" in the tip of the lowest part.
He bought it from an East India dealer t
and had it set in a ring, lit was told to a .
countess in 18C9, just before the out-'
break of the Franco-Prussian war. Tho
countess died in a few weeks, und tho
ring was worn by her husband. He wot
killed in the siege of Paris, aud a. foul
days after his death tho ring wa
brought in the ring and sold it to the
roon soldier. He was arrested, and the '
ring was sent to the family of the dead -1

dealer in order to procure money lo"

in her room. Among the art icles taken
by the murderer was the ring, and the
firm began to wonder how soon it would
turn up. They bad not long to wait, for
all their people had by this time learned
about the stone, and were on the look
out for it. After six months it was found
in the showcase of a jeweler in London,
who had bought it from a firm in
Amsterdam. It was bought by tlia
Paris agent, and sent back to be started
afresh on its travels. . It was purchased
again by a woman of the tonrwho, six
