J XELc; OKEQON .fWAXEaMAN' FKIUAY MARCH i 1. 1887 FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY. Caih Box Food. Yesterday morn ing, while Walter Toote and Alfred Ive were journeying from Butteville to Wood tmrn, and when arrivec at the farm of Mr. Nickmiller, about two miles north of Woodburn, the latter stopped them, and called them to witness a cnrious find he had made. Hie three gentlemen went to a lence corner next to the road, and there saw a heavy iron box, which had evident lr belonged to some safe, broken open and abandoned. A hatchet belong ing to Mr. NickmilW was foand near the box, which had evidently been .used in breaking open the box.' It was while searching for this hatchet that the box was discovered. Investigation of contents of the box, connoting of documents, re ceipts, etc., revealed the fact that it was the property of Messrs. Nathman & Man gold, of (iervais, where the safe was rob bed last fill, and the iron box ab stracted therefrom. It had long been a mystery what had lieeorne of the box, and every conceivable hiding place around (iervais had been searched. The fact that the box wax taken so far indicates that there were several parties connected with the burglary. This is the robbery in which tlte man Yates, imprisoned in jail here, Hays he ran implicate Clayton, in jail in Portland, charged with the Allen & lwi burglary. This last discovery may be another link in the cl a n of evidence which Yates is endeav oring to forge against his former partner Clayton. Pleasant St khu.sk 1'ajcty. Wednes day night -a number of friends of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. (Jilbert broke in ujion them at their residence on the corner of Mar ion and Cottage streets, and took posses sion of the house. The host and hostess were taken completly by surprise, but they nevertheless made it pleasant for iheir unhidden gue-Ls. The evening was pasw-d in cards, 'lancing, winging, games, etc. At the prot:r hour irvfreslimentfl which the guents had brought with thfin were produced and diussi w::i relish. There were present Mr. nn1 ..,. Kugene I'reyman, Mr. and Mr" Vi. . II. J'ur nett, Mr. an J Mr?. ('. y.. Moores. Mr. and Mrs. A. N. M r Mr. and Mrs. E. M. I .afore, Mr. and Mrs. M. N.

To-night Nellie I5oyd apjiears at the ojs-ra h-jiiw in "Un known," and be morrow night in "Pas sion's Have." The Albany Herald says of her jierfoniMfice Wednesday night at that place: "The Nellie lloyd coiup.wiy in their opening play of " Unknown" last evening were greeted by a good audience. The company is a strong one ami made themselves particularly pular laid night, many passages heing encored. Mis lloyd, who exhibited some clever acting, ha gmsl tipirt, Clarence Wil- kiua U-ing an actor of much power, ami was pronounced by many as an eyi,il to Nellie lloyd. Tliere is enough of gen uine comedy if)ter;ersed with the tragic to nuke the play most entertaining. To night the company will present the spec tacular play 'Passion' Have, introduc ing some of their finest scenery." Ii-t ii AkoKO rH Lac k op Jikikok tios. Wednesday in the United States circuit court the in li'-t mcnts against Wil terwood, Myers, and several others, were dismissed. These parties were indicted for allegd participation in the expulsion of Chinese from Alhina. Mount Tabor, anil Oregon City. The indictments were based npon the kuklux act passed by congress to secure for the frecdmen their civil rights and to prevent them from le ing intimidated. The cause of the dis missal of the indictments is a recent de cision of the supreme court of the United States, which declares that United States courts have no jurisdiction in cases of assault on Chinese. That such cases are in the jurisdiction of state courts alone. Sitrkme Cot ut Clerk. It was ex jected that before this time tke new clerk of the supreme court would be ap pointed, but for soiue reason the new ap pointee has not leen named. L. Uilyeu, of lauie county, whose chances for the place have heretofore been considered excellent, has given up the race it is said, and withdrawn from the held, be cause he found the olds too heavily against him. Judge Strahan wanted Mr. Hdyeu, but he could not bring Judge Thayer to the same way of thinking. The l.tsu-r wants his sen, Claude, now of Tilla mook ce-unty. It is likely that the demo cratic judges may not le able to agree Usn a man, tor a while at leact. When they do, they will submit his name to Judge Lord, and if the latter has no ob jections, the appointment will be made. The Salvationists, When news is an esjecially scarce article, the reporter can get even on the too quiet public by writ ing up the Salvation armv. This is to certify that that organization is about as powerful as ever, and that their nightly torchlight rocession is an imposing aflair. Several members of the army havs backslidden lately, but their places are rapidly tilled by raw recruit. The gang of youths who follow the procession '.around the streets and join in the pinging do not add any to the harmony of the music. The hall of evenings is still crowded, and interesting meetings are held, the hoodlums sometimes taking charge of the exercises, and running things to suit themselves. On the whole, the Salvation army ha become a fixture in Salem. DiaoLAirtr at Ecoesk. An attempt was made to burglarise the residence of U. M. Miller, in Eugene, Wednesday morning, about two e'clock. Mr. Miller was absent, being down on the Siualaw, and two boys were stopping in the bouse. The burglars first attempted to make an entrance through a second story window, itemubf!byUM, they del cended the Ladder op which they had climbed and went to the door where they were met by the boys and several ahoU Sfte'lrJ?0' r known without effect. Daring the excitement the burglar made their escape. Officers were sect north and south on the railroad track, but have not returned yet. SUNDAY SCHOOL C05YE5TI05. The Proceeding of the Second and Principal Day of the State Sunday School Convention. The second day of the State Sunday school convention began in the Presbyte rian church at 9 a. m. After discussing state, county, and local work, E. G. Wheeler, international 8anday school secretary for the northwest, ably showed "bow to teach next Sunday's lesson." Mrs. Wheeler formed a class of little ones from the audiencef and illustrated her method of primary teaching. Many other practical subjects w ere well venti lated The officers chosen lor the ensu ing year are E. W. Allen, president; Rev. J. Q. A. Henry, vice president; Jesse Ilooaon, secretary; J: K. Gill, treasurer; executive committee, -Dr. G. V. Gray, Revs. J. Hoberg, II. V. Ro minger, E. Russ, J. W. Webb; delegates to the International S. S. convention, Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Wheeler, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Allen. Next place of meeting, Albany, ou second Tuesday in March. The President, Itev. T. II. Henderson, and Dr. Gray, were appointed a commit tee to consult with the spe :ial secretaries for Oregon and W. T. about consolidating the Chautauqua work and having a joint S. S. assembly in the summer. A state 8. 8. Primary Teachers' Association was organized with Mrs. K. U. Vt heeler, president, Miss Kate Reynolds, secre tary. At night the church was crowded to overflowing. After a prayer service by Rev. M. L. Rugg and Rev. F. P. Tower, and two admirable solos by Miss llallie Parrish, Prof. Crowhurst,as fraternal del egate from the State temperance alliance and State amendment league, made a logical and fervent appeal for co-opera tion of all Sunday school workers in deter mination to carry the prohibitory amend' merit, next November. Senator J. W Watts, of Yamhill, moved the following resoluiions, which were earned by an enthusiastic rising vote. Whereas, The liquor traffic, by leading many parents to intemperance and pov erty, prevent tens of thousands of chil dren in the United States from obtaining the lienefitsof Sunday schools, and Whereas, Ttie saloons are a inest fearful and successful temptation to a vast number ef bright boys who have been Sunday school scholars, and who, though falling into habits of drinking and gambling in saloons, are led astray and never lecome followers of Christ or mem bers of His church ; therefore be it Rksolvkk That we, the workers of this State Sundav school conven tion, would hail with joy and thankfulness to God the prohibition of the liquor tratlic. And to this end we will pray and work, and vote, where entitled to the franchise, for the f tending prohibitory amendment to tiie state constitution. And we urge all interested in religion, morality, or the general welfare of our beloved state to use all honorable means to carry it by as large a majority as possible, on the Hth day of next November. A unique and able lecture by Rev. R. B. Wil worth closed a most successful and well attended convention. It was an nounced that be would shortly lecture in the ojiera house on the prohibitory amendment. A collection sufficient to defray all exjs'nses was taken up. Costly Kxpkrimext. Anthony Aus tin, lately from the east, is an inventive genius. He now lives with his cousin near Albany. Tuesday he conceived the idea of supplanting ordinary gunpowder with giant powder in firearms. He first tested the idea by putting a small charge in a relating rifle. It worked so well that, anxious to learn if giant powder had the proper explosive force, he charged a cartridge and nut it in a shotgun. Then he tired, and learned what a fool he had made of himself. When lie was able to rise again and rub the powder out of his eyes, be found that his gun had been de molished and that he felt unwell. Gun powder is good enough for him at the present writing. wa. . hie .uii.i. kack. m Meanesuay a numlier of workmen were engagad in re pairing the dam in the mill race near the oatmeal mills, and after working all day they left, considering that there was no more danger of the dam washing out. Rut yesterday it was found that the dam was in a worse condition than ever, and so another lot of workmen had to be started on the broken structure. The water of the race has succeeded in wash ing out the dirt from under the dam, and it rushes through there with so much force that no ordinary means will stop it. It is projNieed to fill the orifice with brush and rock. Ti'kxfi) L h.se. Seven of the prison ers who bave been confined in the county jail for the past month on the charge of peui larceny, were turned loose yesterday by Sheriff Minto, their term of sentence having expired. It would seem that this gang of tramps has learned to fear the authorities of Salem and Marion county, because, as soon as released, they struck out (or green fie ids and pastures new. A better riddance Could not be made. This reduces the number of pris oners in the county jail to thirteen. An otlier batch will be turned out in a few days. . Scholarship Granted. The county court yesterday granted to 6.L Potter, G. G. BroWrl and Linnie B. Lewis, schol arships to the University at Eugene, they having passe 1 the required examination and received the recommendation of the school superintendent. Messrs. Brown f.d Potter are both former students of the university. There are still three va cant scholarships to that institution, only seven out ot len neing occupied. Death or W. M. Tubxcju Wm. M Turner, an old newspaper man and a prominent citizen of southern Oregon, died at Jacksonville on Wednesday, Mju-ch. 9. of cancer of the bowels. Mr. Turner was formerly editor of the Orestm Sentinel, and was well and favorably known throughout the state. His death has cast a deep gloom over the communi ty tn which he lived. The funeral will take dace to-day at 2 o clock. DscxABATioy or IxTiimox. T. W Riches yesterday declared his intention of marrying Mary Hall, by taking out a tnarriaze license from th oftu nf . county clerk. FROM SATURDAY'S DAILY. Abticxxs or IscoRPORATiojr.

A Grateful TaAJCP A while ago, when the weather was cold, a lady of this city received a call from a tramp, who "entered the osual plea of hunger, and, as a part of his lunch, was given several very nice cold biscuits, real old fashioned " raised " ones, of generous size. As butter was then thirty-five cents per pound, the lady did not think it ne cessary to spread them. Soon afterward, a member of the family found the bis cuits ranged in a row on the front porch. If that tramp puts in an appearance at that house again, he will find a reception colder than the biscuits, or even than the winter day on which he called. The lady named is one whose heart is gener ous in proportion to the size of her bis cuits, but it is a little monotonous some times to give a hot breakfast to a tramp, particularly when they make daily calls. Her fence is evidently marked with the cabalistic signs that denote " good fare to be had for the asking, and tramps made welcome." A Lecture. On Thursday night, the members of Vanguard Assembly of Knights of Lalsjr, with many other la dies and gentlemen interested in the la bor question, assembled to hear an ad dress on "the relation of temperance to labor," by Mrs. L. II. Additon, state W. C. T. U. superintendent of that depart ment of work. It proved to be a most practical talk, not on any one line or bob by, but covering many points. A good plea was made for friendly relations be tween the two great forces of capital and labor, and for co-operation and arbitra tion. The lecture was listened to with deep interest, and Mrs. Additon may be sure of a good audience when she again hpeaki in Salem. Convicted or Manslaughter. The trial of K. W. James for the accidental shooting of Mrs. Julia A. Newton, of Al bina, February 10 last, was held before Judge Stearns" Thursday. All there was in the evidence was that James was fool ing with a rifle, didn't know it was loaded, pointed it towards Mrs. Newton, when it accidentally discharged and killed her. Jam.'S was present iu court with his wife and child and his mother-in-law. He was defended by John F. Caples, the prosecution being conducted by District Attorney McGinn. The case was given to the jury at 5 o'clock, and after a delib eration of twenty minutes they came in with a verdict of guilty. A motion for a new trial was tnade. I.i iLnisu Notes. It looks as if Salem will enjoy a building boom this year. Many parties are talking of and planning for putting up dwellings, both for their own occupancy and for rent, and there will 1 considerable brick laid in this city between the first of April and the time when the fall rains commence. One party will build four bricks, in case he can disose of certain other interests. It is understood that a new brick yard will be started north of the city in what is called the Hayesville neighborhood, and that this enterprise is encouraged by prominent capitalists of Salem, with a view to the using of some of the products in the erection of buildings. Again in Trouble. Two weeks aeo Saturday night Daniel Stuart, a stone cutter, fell off the railroad trestle bridge over Couch lake and was drowned. One legged Johnny Mooney reported to Po liceman Markleroad, having witnessexl the accident and testified at the coroner's inquest that he saw Stuart, who was un der the influence of liquor, fall from the trestle. Somehow or other the authori ties are of the opinion Mooney lied about the matter and four davs ago arrested him for jwrjury. What is expected to be gained or learned by Mooney's arrest has not been ascertained, as be has not yet been arraigned. Wants a Pension. Samuel Painter, of the Waldo Hills, has made application to the commissioner of jiensions for a pen sion. Mr. Painter served in the Semi nole war, which took place in Florida ana Georgia in in.io and ls.v. lie re ceived an injury in the leg, from the ef fects ot winch be nas never entirely re covered. It is necessary, in order to se cure a pension, U procure two witnesses to your injury, and Mr. Painter is having some difficulty in finding any of his old comrades. He knows where two only reside one in Uropqua Valley and the otner in California, nil brother and brother-in-law. Telegraph Orrtci at Tctccer. The Western Union comnany has decided to esubiisn a telegraph office at Turner, and preparations for such establishment are now being made. Ed. Farmer, who has been connected with the mil company there, and whose qualifications are such that he will fill the position with cradit to bimseu and satisfaction to the public, has been appointed as the operator.

Yesterdiv afternoon, while the usual crowd of loungers was waiting at the de pot at Turner for the arrival of the down train, John Baker, accompanied by his son Solon, entered Che building with a horsewhip in his hand, and selecting Geo. B. Wilson from the crowd, started in to give him a thrashing. Wilson tried to avail punishment and ran around the room, pursued by his assailant, who in the meantime had drawn a revolver with his left hand. Wilson stopped and turned around toward Baker, when the latter fired at him, striking him just be low the left shoulder and felling him to the ground. The ball ranged upward and lodged in the back upper part of the shoulder. Baker was seized by bystand ers and prevented from doing any further i ' r l 11 I J . .1 , A m aamage, u ne nan ueaireu uu ov. soon as the train arrived, the wounded man boarded it and, accompanied by a friend, came to this city, where the bul let was extracted, and the wound dressed by Dr. Cusick. In conversation with a Statesman reporter, Wilson talked freely about the shooting, but was rather reti cent about events leading to it. He returned to Turner last evening, and will be present to-day at the examination of Baker. Wednesday night there came dashing down State street a horse covered with foam and his rider bespattered with mud. He stopped at the residence of Dr. Jes sun and there found Dr. Carpenter, and telling him hastily that a girl living near Turner had taken poison, the two started post haste back to the scene of the trag edy. The doctor arrived in time to save the life of the girl, but secrecy aa to the circumstances of the case and the name of the girl was enjoined upon him. Con sequently a reporter who had heard that a girl near Turner was poisoned and who knew of the circumstance of the doctor being summoned, was unable to trace the circumstance any further. The girl's name was Hattie Baker, and she had tried to end her existence, uon discovering that she would ere lor.g be come, a mother. She had been the fi ancee of Geo. Wilson, who about six weeks ago ceased his attentions to her. In despair over her miserable situation she attempted to put an end to her life. When her brothers found out how mat ters stood, they came to Turner, hunted np Wilson, and the above is the result. Baker was taken before Justice Bleak ney and wa bound over in .r0 bonds to appear at his preliminary examination to-day, at 1 o'clock. The bonds were rompty furnished and the two brothers i itched up their team and came to Sa lem, where they secured the services of an attorney for the examination to-day". They were very reticent about theaffair, and declined to make any statement to a reporter. They said they considered that they would t justified in their ac tion when the facts were known. They returned to Turner in the afternoon. The iarties connected with the fracas have always len highly respected in Turner and surrounding country. Solon and John Haker are the arms of Harrison Baker, who has lived near Turner for thirty years. His sons are soler and in dustrious, and have never before been involved in any serious difficulty. Wil son has been living in Turner for some time, and until recently has been work in. in the mill there. He has been going with Hattie liaker for the past eighteen months, with the exception of the last six weeks, as stated above. He also has borne a good reputation, and that the outcome of his attentions to Hattie Ba ker would be a shooting scrape was the last thing parties who knew them would have thought. Residents of Turner and vicinity are highly excited over the afjair, and will watch with keen interest the outcome of the case. A Valuable Charm. A gentleman in this city has received an Odd Fellows' charm, set in gold, made from the same piece of stone from whicli the cap stone of the Washington monument was cut, from James H. Mercer, now living in Ohio, as a token of the latter's apprecia tion of many favors extended to liim by his friend while he (Mercer) was confin ed in the penitentiary here. The charm is a beautiful one, and is accompanied by au affidavit that it is from the identical cap stone of the Washington monument. The recipient highly appreciates it. Mercer has leen in the employ of the Columbus buggy company of Colum bus, Ohio, for the past year, and reports that he is doing well. Unknown. The Nellie Boyd combi nation rendered this beautiful drama at lleed's opera house last night to a good house. The company with Miss Boyd is a strong one, and the play was presented in a most creditable manner. Miss Boyd, as Bessie Merribright, did full credit to her well merited and long sus tained popularity. Clarence Wilkins, aa the "Unknown." would really be hard to beat, and in fact the support is excel lent. The scenery is the best ever presented here, without a dount. They will play "Passion's Slave" to-night, and deserve a packed house, which they will no doubt have. Lamp Explosion. On Thursday even ing a lamp in the hallway of the residence of Dr. Kisdon fell to the floor with crash, and came near being the cause of a disastrous conflagration. Parties who were passing rushed in, picked np the lamp and threw it out on to the sidewalk. It exploded partially in the doorway, throwing the oil over the doorposts, and starting a fire. The -incipient conaagra tion was smothered, however, before it did much damage. Arm ox. The Capitol Adventure will sell the remainder of the Liggett stock, consisting of scales, show cases, grocer ies, paints.

A SIisctrDEBSTAjrorko.1 There Is evi dently a" misunderstanding with the treasurers of the various counties which rM raimlinrtMl in certain amounts bv the late legislature, as to the intent cf the act. The act states that tne coun ties shall be credited with these amounts on tr to be naid to the state treasurer in the future. Several counties which have lately paid the full amount of their taxes before the state treasurer received notifi Mtuui r,t thA na0tt of the act. and then have claimed that they are entitled to s a 1 reimbursement, are Ricking necause me state treasurer does not send them the coin. He has no power to pay out the money, but simply to give credit o next ) ear's taxes for tile amount, or on this year's, if they have not already been paid in. Pleasant Scrprisk Partt. Thursday night a number of the friends of Miss Belle Golden assembled at the residence of Dr. Golden, on Liberty etreot, their purpose being to surprise Miss Belle. A pleasant evening was enjoyed by those present, the guests being highly, enter tained by the fair hostess. There were present Ada Stapleton, Lulu Hirsch, Jes sie Dalrymile, Maud Smith, Cora Smith, Gertie Savage, Maggie Savage, May Chapman, Kosa Johnson, Lulu Johnson, Nellie Litchfield, Grace Parrish, Jessie Stump, Kate Ladue, Myra Albert, Fan nie Cochran, Henry Myers, Eugene Eng land, Frank Cross, Add Smith, Tommy Smith, Ralph Patton, Frank Johnson, Frank Hughes, Herbert Vandersal, Sam Vandersal, George Waters. Postponed. The examination of John Baker for shooting George Wilson at Turner, Friday, was postponed from 1 o'clock, yesterday, to Monday at 11 o'clock. II. II. Courtney will conduct the prosecution, and J. J. " Skaw the de fense. While there- is no doubt that Baker was in the wrong in trying to' kill his sister's seducer, the general opinion is that although he will probably be bound over, it mill be a hard matter to find a jury which will convict him. The sentiment of the people of Turner is strongly in favor of Baker, and it will not be easy to convince them that he ought to be convicted. Committed to the Asylum. A few weeks ago a man named David Stickler entered his wife's room at Pendleton and attempted to kill her by stabbing her. He then cut his own throat, with sui cidal intent, but he failed to accomplish his purtiose in killing either his wife or himself. Stickler was imprisoned in the jail and for some time was in bad condi tion, and recovered sufficiently to ex amined as to his sanity. Friday night he was brought down from Pendleton by Deputy D. K. Taylor and son, and com mitted to the asylum. The patient was so weak from loss of blood that he hsd to be carried. He will probably soon re cover his health. Paid Oct. The last legislature appro priated in all $41, o:k) to pay its own ex penses, exclusive of the printing. Of this amount ,(:!. 73 has b-en paid out by the state treasurer, and there still re main outstanding warrants which will bring the sum up to somewhere in the vicinity of $40,000, about $10(X) under the limit af tv lliA lLrilatfirA Tt baa lnMin estimated by the secretary of state that the printing will cest near $10,0)0; and so the total expense of the late session will approach .),(XK). ihe expense of tha OOTawinn nf turn vnara fl'jn van aVwnt $2X,000, exclusive of printing, ami of the special session fio.uou. Larue Immioratiox. There will ar rive to-day in Portland 1G2 immigrants, ninety-six over the Northern and sixty- six over the Union Pacific, and this is just the beginning of what is certain to be a very large season's immigration. The announcement that enough people to start a good-i7ed Tillage are to arrive here in a body, ought to be sufficient to bring together a large numler of citizens at 2:30 this afternoon at the immigration hoard rooms to consider means for rais ing funds to continue the board work. Oregonian. Ax Insane Woman. Yesterday Mrs. S. M. Connor, wife of Kirk Connor, a farmer living near Grand Konde, was ex amined before Judge Shaw as to her sanity, and was ordered by him commit ted to the asylum.- Mrs. Connor was brought to this city rriday by her hus band, who intended to have her treated privately, but it was . evident to physi cians that she would receive Vetter care at the asylum and accordingly she was sent there. Mrs. Connor's mania takes no particular form, but consists princi pally in incoherent talk. Musical Recital. A very enjoyable musical recital was given at the Woman's College, yesterday afternoon, by a num ber of the pupils of the conservatory. A good audience was present, artd the ex ercises were all well rendered J The fol lowing was the programme : riano quar tette, Misses Overholt. Pentland.

James Riley has begun suit In the circuit court against James Graham, for the recovery of the ownership of a farm of ISO acres which formerly belonged to the plaintiff, but which was on the 6th day of March, 1886. deeded to the defendant, to secure a loan of $500 made by the latter to the former to satisfy a judgment of 1500 against him obtained by Fleckenstein & Mayer, of Portland. Riley claims he understood the deed to be of the nature of a mort gage, and that when he returned the bor rowed $500 he would be entitled to a re turn of the deed. On January Graham sold the farm to Marion (Jrv ham, a sister living in Chicago, for (1500, and Kiley seeks to bave this transaction also declared void. I le has paid, as he claims all but $28.21 of the $."00 due to Graham, and now produces that sum in court in full satisfaction of his claim. The iarui iu quonuuu ia ot me reasonable value of $2500. The case will be tried at the next term of court. Passion's Llave. A good sized crowd witnessed the rendition aA "Passion'i Slave" by the Nellie Boyd troupe last night, at the opera house. Mr. Koherts as Manuel De Foe added even to the laurels won on Friday night. Mws Georgia Haynes and Miss Carol Crouse were each put forward in fine promi nent parts and their capabilities as excellent actresses letter shown. Miss Boyd, too, acted splendidly, as she always does. W. J Kohler is also worthy of special mention. The troupe has not a "stick" in it, which is more than can be said of a majority of the companies which visit Salem. A Satisfactory Explaxatiox. The Telegram says that Chinook salmon it selling in Portland at fifteen cents a pound and asks how about that law that forbids the sale of the-salrawn earlier than April 1st.
