Friday, March 13, .1903. Elliot Lyons, the murderer of Sheriff W. W. Withers, has been sentenced to die on the callows 011 the nth of Anril. The history of Lyons, should be, taken into serious account by every boy in our unci. From boyhood, shiftler.s and worth less; a drawback to his family, a discrace to the woman who was fool enough to marry him. A man who, according to reports, would rather steal than earn an honest livinir. Always planine how to secure a meal and a bed without physical exertion. As the years came and went.. his misdemeanors incieascd and took on the form of actual crime. He spent a portion of a short term in the penitentiary. Was pardoned through the efforts of his relatives and the influence of their friends. His release from prison walls, instead of prompting him to do better, had the effect to make him still more lawless, thiev ing and reckless. At last he be came a fugitive from justice. Then the revengeful spirit of the brutal. cowardly thief took possession of him and he determined to have his liberty no matter what the cost. When an officer in the discharge of his duty confronted him and de manded his surrender, he turned like the degenerate wretch that he Is aud took a human life. From that fateful night at the Lyons ranch the scenes shift fast and faster and today he crouches, cowers or paces, as is his want, in a steel cell, computing the hours yet his, while the death watch per forms his irksome duty. During half a life time of idleness, of con tempt of honest work, be has paved a staight road to the gallows. He is not deserving of pity. He has no claim upon his kind. The sooner he drops through the trap into a box provided at the expense of the county the better. Let sympathy be extended to tbe broken hearted old father and mother to the widow of the roan whose life went out at tbe hands of this degenerate son of man. But boys, profit by the life the death of Lyons, the petty thief horse thief MUBDHRERI Senator C. W. Fulton is now at work in his new official capacity at Washington, D. C. Senator Fulton is n man of broad ideas, full of energy and last, hut not least, with Oregon and her interests close to heart. He will prove by his faithful work that he is not a "mis fit". Niw comes the startling infor mation that "Bryan will bolt." There is nothing new or particu larly interesting in this, fact. Mr. Bryan has never been guiltv of doing anything else. He has done more than anv one man to throttle and break up the democratic party HON. J. C. WALLACE. Arnn wo nrv enllod upon to chronicle t ho dentil ot nutitlier one of Lnne I'ounty'H rtwiH'cted ploneoin Hon. J. C. Wnllucc, died nt tho home of lil daughter, Mrs. I), lleineiiwiiy, In tliln city, Riirmunded by lit iKod wife, dnitKhtero, hoiis, mid brother, Mnrch n, 11J0.1, nt 6 o'clock, 01 enncer of the Btomnch, niter 11 llngvrlntr Ill ness of Kovenil months, the lust tliwe of which he 8oiit in n Portland hospital niul at the home ot IiIk daughter, Mr. K. It. (illtncr, where he was given the liest medical mid mir;lcal aid obtainable. J. C Wallace was born In B1111- dolph county, Missouri, April 1$, IS3C. In 1SK) he removed with his parents to Plntt county, Mo. In IS4:i lie went with his parents to Texas, where they remained only one year, returning to Plntt county In 1S44. Knim there In company with his parents he removed to Davis county. Iowa, In 1S49. In 1S.17 he was united In marrlnc? to CITIZUNS MUUTINO. Thursday Night tho CltUsns Nomi nated Municipal Officers tor Un. suing Year IJ. R. Job Chosen I'or Mayor. Pursuant to call, the cltlwiiH ot tliln city met at Martin's hall hist Thursday evening and nouitnntcd a municipal ticket to be voted on April 0. John Baker was chosen chairman and I). P. Patterson, secretary. After some delay In which some criticism was made upon Mayor Job's report, as previously published hi the Nugget. Tho motions and criticisms offered were out of order, and after some discussion were so declared. The chair thou announced that I iioiiiliiatloiisformayor were In order. I The present mayor B. It. Joli was nominated, also Hon. it. M. Watch. I'pon the ballot being spread the. chair announced that B. B. Job was the regular nominee by reason of having received a majority of all the votes cast. Nominations for recorder being In order the present Incunilieiit Attor ney J. II. Young was named. There being 110 further nominations, upon motion tho secretary was Instructed to cast the vote of tho citizens for J. K. Young for recorder. Herlwrt Kaklu was then chosen 11s the regular nominee for treasurer by acclamation. The chair then announced that It was lit order for tho voters of the several wards to meet and nominate one candidate for councilman, which resulted In ward No. 1 naming J. P. Currln; No. 2, Oliver Veatch; No. 3, l)r. Oeo. Wall. I'pon motion meeting wasdeclared adjourned. for be Some of the papers throughout Oregon are fiuding fault with tbe $500,000 appropriation to the Lew and Clark fair, alleging all sorts things against Portland, i. e. that it is a "Portland graft," "all Portland," etc. Nothing can farther from the truth if tbe fair properly managed, and indications are to the effect that it will be. No one for a moment would ex pect an exposition of so great magnitude in celebration of such important men and national events to be held in Astoria, Salem or Eugene, with Portland tbe first city of the state passed by, any more than tney would expect Lane county fair to be held Florence or Lorane, instead of at Eugene the county seat. We all want the exposition and we will take pnde in its success. Portland is tbe proper place and it is not consistent that we call the me tropolts and its people "hogs" be cause they realize the full worth and importance of the great under taking. Let Portland profit by it in proportion to Portland's gam will be the gain of every portion of tne entire state. In tbe death of Hon. J. C. Wal lace, one ot Lane county's old pi oneers, the community loses an upright and honest mail, a faithful friend. Mr. Wallace bad many traits of character that made him of true value that will cause those -who knew him best to hold his memory near to heart. He was a kind husband, an indulgent father, a good neighbor. He was of philosophic turn of mind, a man of broad thought; and the note of charity could always be distin guished 111 his utterances, and his actions did uot belie his tongue. In the closing scenes of his life he suffered untold agony, but with calm and gentle patience seldom surpassed. He was an honor to the community in which he lived and tbe sympathy of a large circle ot tneuds goes out to the sweet faced wife whose hair has long since been silvered, to tbe sons and daughters who knew so well the indulgence aud noble charitv of a grand old father. The county court of Benton county has summoned the several road' supervisors of that county to meet on a prescribed date in March with the view of discussing the road question, exchanging ideas and to foamulate some sys tematlc plan calculated to improve the highways of the county. It is a capital idea, and should be adopted by every county court in the state. After the result, which will surely be a good o .c. it would not be amiss to provide for a state convention" of toM supervisors, first hovtii'g provided a Way by IIO.V. J C WALLACE.
