Several days ngOj he hired a house
there, where ho intends to have his
family reside.
Complaint b made by several par
lies ot the streets being obstructed by
wood piles and similar aggregations.
SeK interest would seem to suggest
to these having such impediments in
front of their places of business, that
they be removed as soon as practic
able, that the appearance of the street
be improved and traffic unobstructed.

On the southwest corner of Fifth

pond of stagnant water, which neither
adds to the attractiveness ot tbe scene
nor to the healthfulncss of the sur
rounding locality, it would, be a
blessing to the community if it could
be removed, which couli easily be
done by putting iu a short amount of
drain tile.
The scow bay foundry is bo nearly
completed that work has commenced

THE MURDER CASE.
Opinions of Jadgo CapIes, Oao of the
Attorneys.
In an interview last eveninc with
Judge Caples, one of the attorneys for
me ueiense in tno murder trial at uys
terville, ho gave a representative of
The Astoiuan his views of tho case
based upon an intimate knowledge
from his services therein and attend
ance during both trials, from which
tho following is given as the judge's
opinien:
The almost universal demand of the
people over there was for a conviction
of all four of the accused, and the
juries hardly dared do otherwise than
find each of the two men guilty as
charged. In the jury on the first case
were several men who did not believe
that on the evidence presented they
could find John Edwards guilty of
murder, but the vehement manner
and almost threatening attitude of the
balance of the jurors at last made
.them reluctantly agree upon convic
tion.
In the case of John B. Bose, it was
believed that when the jury retired
for deliberation they stood six to six,
or possibly seven for conviction and
five for acquittal Here there was a
similar experience to the former
jury, for those in favor of a conviction
were obstinate and fairly cowed tho
remainder into coinciding with them
in a verdict of guilty in the first
degree.
According to Judge Caples opinion,
motions for new trials were presented
yesterday, but he felt sure they would
be denied. As soon as the evidence
taken by the stenographer can be re
duced to writing, a bill of exceptions
will be filed, and the case appealed to
tho supreme court He does not be
lieve the higher tribunal will sustain
tho findings, as ho feels confident
that the evidence does not
prove tho commission of tho
crime upon 'Edwards and Bose.
It is clear that George Bose had a
hand in the murder, for he pointed
out where the bodies were buried, but
the sentiment of the people in .that vi
cinity, seemed to demand the convic
tion of all of the accused, and acting
upon the knowledge of the existence
of this belief, it is evident that the ju
ries rendered the verdicts rather than
upon the fact that the evidence before
them was conclusive of guilt This is
Judge Caple's opinion.
He also believes that in a few
months the sentiment of the people in
that vicinity will have undergone
quite a change, as they "will not feel so
sure of the guilt of all the accused,
but at present they are almost a unit
in tho belief that all are guilty.
Firemen's Election.
Yesterday, tho members of tho fire
department held an.electiou for chief
engineer and assistants. Tho ballot
ing took place at No. 2's house, the
polls being open from 9 a. m. to 4 r.
m. Total number of votes cast, 67;
necessary for a choice, 34. For chief
engineer, Charles H Stockton, the
present incumbent, was the only nom
inee and received 67 votes. For as
sistant engineer there were three can
didates, Ed. Hallock, Frank Green
and Frank Suprenant, with two to be
elected. The ballot stood Hallock 38,
Green 35, Suprenant 28. Hallock will
be first assistant and Green second
assistant
T. B. Loughery, George Goodell
and E. G. Stoner were judges of elec
tion, and Frank Stewart clerk.
The total assessed valuation of Pa
cific county in 1889, was $890,000. This
year, says the Journal, it reaches
the extraordinary figure of Sl,892f000,
or an increase of one million and
two thousand dollars. Of course
quite a large part of this increase is
duo to the improvement of real es
tate throughout the whole county, but
by far the largest part of it k undoubt
edly caused by the sudden rise in val
ue of land contiguous to South Bend,
from S5 an acre a year ago, to $500
and even $1,000 an acre now.
There k probably no greater boon
conferred upon us mortals by science
and art than that by which wo are
enabled to preserve the likeness of
those most dear to us, so that when
removed from our presence by absence
or death we may look upon their
portrait and again enjoy their com
panionship. Mrs. H A. Derby k

CROP-WEATHER BULLETIN, 'NO. 22
Oregon Report For the Week Ending
Saturday, August 9, 1S90.
WEATHEB.
The dry season continues. There
has been an entire" absence of rainfall
throughout tho state. The temperature
has been lightly lower than usual at
this season, ranging from 45 to 90
degrees. The mornings have been
generally cloudy or partly cloudy, the
afternoons cloudless and fresh north
winds prevailed.
cbops.
The weather conditions have been
favorable to harvesting operations
which continue. The fall wheat is
nearly all cut, and considerable of it
haslbeen threshed. The late spring
sown wheat is almost ripe and prom
kes a much larger yield than was ex
pected. For the fall wheat it is
simply magnificent . The berry is
large, plump and dry, and has ex
ceeded all expectations. The yield
bids fair to the largest ever harvested.
Columbia county reports say that the
crop prospects are unprecedented in
the annak of the county. The musk
melon crop of "Washington county
will not be as largo as
last year. Yamhill county sends
in reports of a fine yield. Tillamook
county reports hay, barley and oat
crop good. Polk county reports yields
of 45 bushels per acre of No. 1 quality
of Avbeat Marion county has more
than au average wheat crop, and it k
freer from foreign matter than for
mauy years. Benton, Linn and other
valley counties report fine yields, some
as high as 42 bushek per acre. At
Albany some wheat has been sold for
64 cents, and a Email quantity of extra
choice for 69 cents. In Douglas and
other counties of southern Oregon tho
wheat and other crops aro turning out
welL At Boseburg samples of club
wheat showed from 100 to 105 grains
to the head, and 75 bushels per acre k
expected. "Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam
and Morrow counties have more than
average yields, but in these counties
the berry k not so large and
plump, as a rule, as in others. Uma
tilla and Union counties still claim to
have one of the largest crops ever
gathered, and the threshing reports
appear to justify the claim. In Wal
lowa, Baker and counties to the south
the crops aro fine; yields more than
average. Barley yields of 60 bushek
per acre are reported from Crook
county, and 45 bushek of oats per acre
k reported from Klamath county.
The hay harvest through the stock
country was good, and there k more
than enough hay for any demands.
Tbe second hay crop k being cut in
some sections. Hops and fruit con

Ilia Third and Last Ascension.
Arthur Cosgrove, who made the bal
loon ascension and parachute jump in
thk city on Sunday, the 3d instant
was killed on Sunday last in attempt
ing hk third ascension and jump. It
was at Albina and he went up quite
Ihigh, then cut loose, but there was so
mucu wina tnut me parucuuie Kept
blowing about and descended very
slowly. Cosgrove had neglected to
use wnst straps, and evidently became
tired holding on so long, for ho was
seen to change hands occasionally and
hold by only ono at a time. "When
about 150 feet from the ground, at the
corner of Ninth and J streets, just op
posite the i?irst Presbyterian church
in East Portland, ho let go.
Quickly ho shot to the ground,
striking in the middle of the street
gasped once only, and life was ex
tinct Tho right arm was mangled,
the bones protruding from the flesh,
but tho expression of the face was nat
ural. Cosgrove was 28 years of ago and
leaves a wife and two children. Hk
wife has made two or three ascensions
and parachute jumps, ono or two of
which were with Bedmond, the other
asronaut who was killed in "Washing
ton soon after hk ascension in thk
city. Mrs. Cosgrove has an intense
desire for fame as an aeronaut, but the
sad death of her husband may serve as
a warning, and check her desire for
any more attempts to navigate the air.

IX THE JUSTICE COURT.
Several Axnbitiottrf Hoodlums Secure De
served Promotion.
Tbe five bad boys who went to the
Seaside last Sunday, and made things
unpleasant for everyone in their im
mediate vicinity, were brought be
fore Justice Cleveland yesterday, to
receive their respective sentences.
O. Showan and D. Lavell were each
fined S20. Al. Thrall, Henry "Wieman
and Pete "Wieman were fined $25
each. Pete "Wieman exhibited in
court some of the bravado which
characterized hk performances on
Sunday, for which Justice Cleveland
fined him $25 or ten days in jail, for
contempt of court, being the full ben
efit of the law, and turned them over
to Sheriff Smid t The sheriff in order
to mako his prisoners useful rather
than ornamental ordered them to per
form sundry allotments of manual
labor which they refused to do. They
were then placed in the dark cell and
left to reflect upon the error of their
ways. It k believed that a season of
confinement in their present quarters
and an abstemious diet of plain food,
bread and water, for instance, without
any exciting condiments or beverages
may mane tno obstinate onenders
more tractable.

Deserving of Shocks.
If any enterprise deserves success
it k that of the West Shore. To pub
lkh such an elegant high class illus
trated weekly on the Pacific coast
must take a greater supply ot brains,
hard work and pereeverence than
would bo required in the more densely
populated portions of the countrj'.
West SJiore will celebrate its first
anniversary as a weekly by enlarging
its page to admit of better artistic
effects. Thk enlargement will be
made August 16, and the paper,
printed in five colors, will be the peer
of any colored illustrated journal in
the world. A new dopartment will
then be added for boys and girls, con
ducted by Emily A Kellogg, a lady
well known as a writer for juvenile
publications. Ella Higginson, editor
of tho woman's department, has ac
quired a national reputation as a poet
and writer, and her work in West
Shore k her best The origiual
humorous department k contributed
to by the brightest wits of the countrj'-
Its independent and pithy edi
toriak are giving it an enviable rep
utation in newspaper circles every
where. Tbe Pacific coast has reason
to be proud of West SJiore, and it
should be found in every house and
place of business.

Charging for Knowing How.
Says the Furniture Gazette: "I
paid a bill tho other day," said a large
manufacturer to me, "without a mur
mur, simply because of the way it was
worded. My engineer found that hk
hot water pipe would not work, and
after puttering at it for an hour, sent
for a machinist He bothered with it
half a day and concluded it must come
apart I was much annoyed, for that
meant the stoppage of my factory for
a long time. Before I gave the order
some one suggested that a neighbor
ing engineer bo sent for, as he was
a sort of genius in the matter
ot machinery. Ho came, and
after studying the pump awhile,
he took a hammer and gavo
threa sharp raps over the valve. 'I
reckon she'll go now,' he quietly said,
and putting on steam 'she' did go.
The next day I received a bill from
him for $25.50. The bill read thk
way: 'Messrs. Blank & Cj., Dr., to
John Smith. For fixing pump, 50
cents. For knowing how, $25.' Had
he charged me $25.50 for fixing the
pump, I should have considered it ex
orbitant But 50 cents was reason
able, and I recognized the vjiluo of
knowledge, so I paid and said noth
ing." Tiiat man, says tuo liauway
Review, evidently knew as much
about making bills as he did about
fixing pumps.

SCROFULA
Is that impurity of the blood wliich pro
duces unsightly lumps or swellings on tho
glands of the neck; causes painful running
scies on the arms, legs, or feet; developes
ulcers in llic'cycs, ears, or nose, oiten caus
ing blindness or deafness; is the origin of
pimples, cancerous growths, or the many
other manifestations usually ascribed to
"humors;" and fastening upon the lungs,
causes consumption, and death. Being
the most ancient, it is tho most general of
all diseases cr affections, for very few
persons are entirely free from it.
How Can
It Be
URED
Ey taking Ilood's Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed,
lias proven itself to be a potent and pecul
iar medicine for this disease. Some of
these cures aro really wonderful. If you
suffer from scrofula or impure blood, be
sure to try -Hood's' Sarsaparilla.
"Every spring my wife and children Jiave
beeu troubled with scrofula, sores break
ing out on Uiem In various places. My
littlo boy, thrco years old, has been a
terrible Mifferer. Last spring he was ono
mas3 of sores from head to feet. I was
advised to use Ilood's Sarsaparilla, and wo
have all taken It. The result Is that all have
Lcen cured of the scrofula, my little boy
being entirely free from sores, and all four
of my children look bright and healthy."
