His stock is all new, bought for cash, and will be sold cheap. At the called session of the council, the Mayor Mr. 1). B. Bees was granted leave of absence and a fow bills were allowed, and some other matters of mi nor importance were discussed, but not actwd upon. O'Malley, "the wild Irishman," of of Kansas, will speak at the Court house this evening, on Prohibition as ho sees it, all art cordially invited to come and hear what he has to say up on the subject. Whore is our astewsor? Considerable enquiry is made on the other side of the valley The county has been cut down considerably since last year, and it seems that our assessing ought to be completed at leant a month earlier this year. James Terkins, charged with threat ening to burn a saw mill at the Cove last summer, was tried before Justice Sterens of Cove precinct, and was acquitted of the charge. K. E. Gates prosecuted the case and J. B. Crites defended it. Mr. W. M. Stoker has placed on our table a sample of oats grown on his rancho on Catherine creek, above town, which is very fine. He says it is a fair average of the rest, and that the field from which it is taken will yield at leastonc hundred bushels to the acre. Prof. Perkins' class in vocal music, is progressing finely. His pupils speak very highly of his method of in struction. Wo are pleased to note that our people take an interest for we certainly have some very fine tal ent in that line. The hay crop is good, gcnerallythis season and brings a good price. Par ties from The Dalles, Arlington, and Vancover, who have been in the valley buying up several hundred tons of timothy, had to pay twelve dollars a ton, and farmers were not anxious to sell at those figures. Mr. H. F. Newhard presonted us this week with some samples of tomatoes, egg plants and Giant Peru cucumbers, which were raised in his garden at tho Hot Lake. They arc splendid speci mens, which go to show that that place is peculiarly adapted to tho cul turo of vegetables. U. 8. Deputy Marshal Frush arrived jn Union yesterday, having in charge Mr. S. F.

Sunday evening aIout G ' o'clock, at Ladd canyon, Mr. Thomas Lemon shot and killed one Win. Cald I well, who from choice, and probably a desire to have the peaceable citizens of this county believe that he was one of the "wild and wooly" kind, sailed un der the Mibriquc-t of "Curly Bill." There had been considerable ill feeling between the parties for some time past, and throats of unpleasant odor had been indulged in on the part of Curly Bill, who seemed to take a fiend ish delight in harassing Iamhoii by sending threats of violence to Lemon, among which wore that he intended to drop him on sight, etc. Curly Hill was a vigorous young man of about ISO lb., while Lemon weighs only about lbs. It seems that the two men met for the first time since those threats at Mr. Banlom's house last Sunday evening. Mr. Lemon went to Mr. Bantom's on business and soon af ter Curly Bill rode up, went to the house, and then went to a wagon box where a Mr. Howard was lying sick at tho time, and was loaning against the wagon box talking to Mr. Howard. Mr. Lemon was armed with a Win chester rifie and Curly Bill with a pistol. Neither men spoke to each other, but Lemon remarked to Mr. Bautom, as Curly Bill wont, to the house, "that man has threatened to kill me on sight and 1 don't pioposc that ho take the advantage of mo to-day," and while Curly Bill was loaning against the wagon box, Lemon shot him through, killing him almost instantly. Lemon was soon after arrested and brought to Union, where, after a preliminary ex amination, he was hold without bail until the September term of court. Sad Dkath. Died, after a brief ill ness of three weeks of anxiety, at the booming, nickel plated city of Spokane Falls, Y. T the Spokane Chinook. Its paternal relative, Mr. L T. Wilson, speaks of its sudden llight into the mysterious and devius past, as follows: "Wcsoon saw high rents, 19 mills coun ty tax, mills city tax, assessments for street grading, in tunic instances 25 per cent, of the value of the proper ty adjoining, electric lights, etc., sewer expenses and numerous other expen ses, necessitated retrenchments, etc." Mr. Wilson rather intimates that the citizens of Spokane cannot a fiord to help the poor newspaper man to eke out a pitiable existence by giving him his patronage and thus help to build up tho town by having good papers in the place. The business expenses are too large and the profits too small. If this be true, 'tis said indeed ; but 'twill be ever thus. Nkw Raii.uoad Bkaxoht.s. At the recent annual meeting of tho stock holders of the Oregon Railway it Nav igation company, authority was given for amendment of the articles of in corporation" of the company so as to cover a number of proposed new linos of railroad. Twelve lines arc enumer ated, and the distances to bo covered aggregate 1!07 miles. Among these roads is one from La Grande to Wal lowa valley, and from tho mouth of tho Wallowa river to Lewiston, Idaho. The building of this branch is of tint greatest importance to the people of Wallowa valley, and will go far towards developing the interests of that county, especially of the mines which are about to bo opened up, and which are confidently believed to be very valu able. A I'kivati-: Akymlu. It is stated upon good authority that Dr. Loryca, of Portland, will build and conduct a private asylum in East Portland. There is no doubt that the doctor can make a success of a venture of that character, says the Evening Telegram. A private insane asylum, where patients with means can receive com forts not furnished by the state, and which tho state could not supply oven if it wished to, is an institution long wanted in Oregon. There are not a few members of well-to-do families at Salem now who would be removed to a private asylum were they one estab lished here. LODCiH OK K. OI' P. OltNIZUI).

The rain of tho past few days has had the effect of putting a stop to har vesting and lliereshing. much to the discomfort of all parties concerned.
