Cm AHoa---John George, wbo Hves
some seven miles below Alsea IUy,' wu
ia Newport yesterday and report the
wreck of the steamer Dawn ashore si that
Lace. It wul be remembered that this
little steamer drilled oat over the Colons
Us bar some two or three month ago,
and was taken in tow by tbe Empire, bat
daring a storm she parted ber cable and
wu abandoned at sea. Bince wtucn
time nothing has been heard of ber until
last Saturday when she came ashore
bottom od at the place mentioned. Mr.
George succeeded in saving her propeller
and shaft and a portion of her steering
gear. lie thinks ber engine and boiler
are in the sort a short distance sooth of
that place and can probably be saved.
It was rery near this place that the bot
tle came ashore, containing tbe story of
tlte vessel s lose and tbe euCennz and
starvation of the crew.
A Fractiocs Team. The runaway epi
demic seemed to nave broken loose in
Salem yesterday. A yoang team belong
ing to John Iitchey, a farmer, while
hitched near Roth & Rapp's. took a po
tion that it wanted to run away, and so
broke loose from its fastenings and start
ed for the outskirts of the citr. They
were stopped, however, before they had
gone far. Mr. Lite hey shortly after
wards started lor home, and when near
Ford's stable one the trace became un
fastened, frightening one of the horses,
which began to rear and kick, iiis mate
Joined in the fun. and for a few minutes
the homes made thins lively. Mr.
Litchey jumped from the wagon and
seized the horses heads, and tried to
calm them down, while his companion
palled on the lines. Tbe team broke the
tongue of the hack before it could be
quieted.
Lrr's Celebrate. A good many years
have paused since Salem has had a gen
uine, good old-fashioned Foarthf July
celebration. The firemen of this city
naving seen m 10 uecune to t part in
the coming firemen's totjrn.ir.iut, would
be able to contribute larv-I to the sue
cess of a celebration the various oth
er organizations couM help in their dif
ferent capacities. Let's invite all the
surrounding country to come in and help
pull tbe eagle's tail on that glorious day,
in this city. If Salem announced her in-
tention right away of having a Simon-
pure celebration, one that people have
heard about but never wen, the small
towns round about would give way to
their larger neighbor, and the whole sur
rounding country would Pftend the day
and their money n alem. Let s take it
up.

tleman atoresaia came trom tne eouainr,
revolving in bis mind certain bosuiess
pro positions which had been discussed
by the trustees. Musingly unhitching
his faithful steed, he mounted and
started for bis home. Bat the animal
acted most strangely, and certain evolu

good man's attention to tbe nature of tbe
beast which he had bestridden, when lo

standing on Front street, yesterday after

Coart street, ran to Commercial and
started up that thoroughfare, which at
that time was well filled with vehicles,

there has been little done in the way of

A Good Showing:.
To casual observer, things in the line

encouraging omen for the future prosper

SEW TIMJS TABLE. .
The Schedule by which Oregon
California Train will Ban
after May 1st.
The rumors which hare been current
for some time in regard to the proposed
change of time in the running of trains
on the O. A C. R. R.have not been with
out loondation. That tome .change is
contemplated, and about to be consum
mated, there is no doubt.
The last report, which has the appear
ance of rehabdity, is that after May 1st
the new time schedule goes into edect by
which the j'Mirney between San Francis
co and the ap and Portland can be made
in lorty-iwo hours. Kver since the work
was itti!Meitc-d ,m tlte road, in the early
pft of Ust iar, lU amount of staging
lias gruaaiiy ln reducing, but the
track having now bee a completed to
Klamath nver, overland passengers will
only be compelled to travel twenty-nine
Danes oy coacn.
The new time schedule provides for a
through train leaving Ban Francisco
daily at 4 p. m. and arriving at Portland
at 11 o clock a. m. on the second day.
The train would arrive in Salem about
8:30 a. m. Going from Portland the
tram would leave at 4 p. m. and arrive in
San Francisco at 11 a. m. of the second
day. Tbe time of the arrival of this
train at Salem would be 6:30 p. m. Tbe
Lebanon express will be taken off, and
local passenger trains run from Portland
to Jtngene City. These trains will leave
Portland and Eugene at 8 a. m. respect
aau win pass at Aioany. ineir
times at nalem will be about the same as
those of the present morning and after
noon trains. The local business on tbe
Lebanon branch will be transacted by a
switch engine. The Eugene train will
not run on bundars. but the throuzh
trains will, and will leave and take mail
from here on that as on other days.
This is the consummation ef what the
people of this city have long desired and
what the Statesmax has strongly advo
cated. It is gratifying to note that at last
tne i. A o. is awakening to the demands
of tbe times, and is about to do what
i.aa .
eugni to nave been done long ago.
Military Matters. The passage by
the late legislature of the military bill,
or some other cause, has awakened great
interest in military matters all over the
state. Applications for commissions for
military companies have been received
recently from Canyon City, Prioeville,
Albany, and Eugene. These cities have
organized militia companies and want
state authority to go ahead with their
organizations. Under the new law there
will be but one brigadier general in Ore
gon, and this officer will be appointed
I . 1 a . i mm
buotut Dy me governor, ine commis
sions for the above mentioned companies
will not be granted until tbe brigadier
general and adjutant general are ap
pointed and instructed to look after these
organizations. A short time since there
was some talk and a move made toward
organizing another military company in
this city, under the new law. but the
movement has apparently died out.
Lcsrs Natur-e. There is on exhibi
tion at ine omce ot tne sawmill compa
ny a wooden freak of nature. Years ago,
upon the Luckiamute, some pioneer be
gan to cut down a large fir tree, but after
penetrating into tbe wood some distance.
and excavating quite a hollow, he
changed bis mind. A few days ago the
same tree was cut down, rafted down to
this city, and sawed into lumber. It was
discovered that the place where the first
chopper had begun had entirely filled up
with a new growth of wood, the bark bad
grown over it, and nothing about the ap
pearance of the tree would have indicat
ed that it had ever been touched. The
block surrounding Uie old and new
growths has been cut out, and presents
quite a novel appearance.

ing the Bay View Lumbering company
were filed yesterday in the office of the

are to build and construct railways, wa
ter worxs, gas and electric-hgbt plants.
and any other manufacturing interests
that may be deemed advisable.
Report Filed. Yesterday O. B.
Estes, health officer at Astoria, filed his
first quarterly report with the secretary
of state. The report shows that Dr.
Estes boarded and examined twenty-
seven vessels which entered the mouth
of the Colombia between March &tb and
March 31st. All these vessels were found
in good condition. After March 6th,
owing to prevalence of contagious dis
eases ia southern parts, all vessels com
ing from that direction were carefully
examined, and required to show clean
bills of health.
Plaxs CoxrurrKD. Plana for the new
state agricultural college at Corrallis
have been completed by Architect Walter
Pagb.ofthis city, and submitted to the
board of directors of that institution, and
to the state board of education, where
they were approved. Tbe plans show a
handsome structure of brick, which will
accommodate 300 students. Tbe cost of
the building will be about $20,000.
Started East. Yesterday Rev. J.
Taylor Chambers, late rector of St Paul's
Episcopal church of this city, left for his
former and future home at Carthage,'
Missouri. He is aceoanpaaied by Mrs.
Chambers, and by Miss ilarvOiamhrn

TTaz CAXYt3KKitijr. The craxy Ger
man, Geo. W. Mack, who was arrested
on Friday night and lodged ia Jail, was
examined yesterday before Jndge Shaw
and by Dra. Cusick and Smith, and hav
ing been pronounced insane, was lodged
in the asylum in the afternoon. Black's
mania urges htm to the pursuit of girl
to whom he claims to have been engaged
in Illinois, and whom be declares he has
seen in Salem. His occupation is a mil
ler, and his age is about 25. He had on
his person $7.10 in cash and certificates
of deposit of $417.10 and $100 with Du
bois Bros., of the Chemekete, and $310
with John Myers, of Oregon City. E.M.
Croiaan was appointed guardian of bis
estate. It seems probable that Mack
(who is no relation to Geo. W. Mack, the
aepuiy cornry cierr, although be de
clared that the latter is his uncle) will be
released soon from bis confinement at the
asylum, as he is subject to periodic con
gestion of tbe brain, induced by an in
jury to the tbe head received when a
child. No body knows any thing re
specting his antecedents, or the source of
nis money.
A G excise Sctaratsi. On
Friday
the re
night, Miss Addie jEarhart .
was
cipient of a genuine surprise party. Us
ually, those persons to whom surprises
are tendered, manage in some incompre
hensible way to find out what was intend
to be kept from them. But in this case
preparations for the event were made in
tbe most secret manner and Miss Addie
knew nothing of tbe event until she
opened the door of tbe hospitable resi
dence of Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Earhart, in
response te a hearty ring, and discovered
a number of friends. The evening was
passed most enioyably in dancing, games.
etc, and a fine luncheon was served and
partaken of at tbe I proper time. There
were present: Misses Mae Carpenter,
Anna Breyman. Lena Knieht. Mima
Cosper, Grace Piper, Nellie Gilbert, lli
zie Dearborn, Addie Cox, and Mrs. Gus.
Strang: Messrs. Al E. Holtrate. W. J.
Clarke, Frank II. Alliston, 11. Gibson, T.
iiowara, and A. i.-JdcUully.
At Roseburo. Miss Binnie De Forest,
while on her way overland to California,
has been giving several entertainments
in Southern Oregon, assisted b'- Mins
Ana Byars, of this city. The llo-eburg
Review has to say of one of them : "On
lMt Tuy evening Miss Binnie IK Tor-
I ... I-. - J 1 ft . k ri
est, assisted by Miss Ana Byars, gave an
elocutionary entertainment in Slocum's
ball. Quite a number were present and
enjoyed a rare treat, for Miss De Forest
as an elocutionist is excelled bv none.
Her rendition of "The Bells." and "How
Miss Edith entertains her bitr sister's
beau," were par excellence and brought
lonn well-merited applause. Miss Ana
Byars rendered several pieces well which
re fleet much credit to herself as well as
to her teacher Miss De Forest. Miss Bv
ars will remain in Rose burg a few days
visiting relatives and friends. Miss De
Forest left the following- inorninir trolnir
south on her way to California."
Probably Ixxocext. Sixteen months
ago, Austin Yocum, a young man from
Morrow county, a as tried and sentenced
to the penitentiary for three years for
stealing horses from a farmer in Morrow
county. Since young Ypcum's incarcera
tion, a belief in his innocence has been
gaining ground about Heppner, suspicion
pointing toward a man named Chas
Benifteld. who has baen residing
in v asnmgton Territory, a little distance
war mb .....
irom the Oregon line. A short time
since, Bemfield came over to a small town
in Morrow county, and officers hearing of
his whereabouts, went after and arrested
him. Benifield. after be was placed in
jail, confessed that he was the guilty
party, snorts will be made now to se
cure the release from the prison of young
i ocum, wno, it would appear, was not
implicated in the stealing. Mr. J. Can
