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

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

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,
