Kellogg Beach of Chicago, and N. W. Nelson, of Richmond, Va., both aged capitalists, committed suicide in the bathrooms of their respective homes last Saturday, owing to ill health. Two sons of H. Pierson of Salt Lake, Utah, were drowned a few days ago. One lost his life in trying to save the other. The packet steamers Ruth and Gwen doline, which plied between Jennings, Mont., and Fort Steele, British Colum bia, are lying at the bottom of the Koo tenai river, about four miles from Jen nings, both sunk by tie same rock within a few hours. Both were loaded with Canadian ore for the Great Falls smelter. The Valley road will be completed to Hanford within two weeks, and the people of Hanford are prej>aring to celebrate the event w ith pomp and cere mony. The date of the celebration has been fixed for May 22d. Primarily, the celebration is in observance of the an niversary of the birthday of Kings county, but the entrance of the Valley road into the town will be fittingly ob served at the same time. Grading has l>een completed on the Reedley branch into the town of Reedley, and track laving has been completed to within six miles of the town. It may be some little time, however, before trains are running int^i Reediey. The bridge across the Kings river has still to be erected. Bill Parker, a notorious train robber and desperado of Arizona, with two companions escaped from the jail at Prescott by overpowering the jailer. Assistant District Attorney Morris was shot and fatally wounded by Parker, while trying to prevent him from es caping. The ship Francis, from San Francisco to New York, took fire while off the New Jersey coast, and had to be beached. The ship and cargo, valued at $100,000, are a total loss. Mrs. Duerling, of Little Rock, Ark., shot and seriously wounded four men at that place Sunday. The shooting was caused by religious excitement The bursting of the banks of an irri gating ditch on the newly constructed line of the Valley road between Fresno and Kings river, on the Hanford route, washed away 1400 feet of track. Will McCrimmon, aged 19 years, son of John McCrimmon, a blacksmith, committed suicide in Washoe City by taking an overdose of morphine. The boy bad« hia mother farewell, saying that he would kill hiiuse.f. He de parted for Washoe <’itv, where he is employed, and fulfilled his promise. A miner named Thomas Concannon was shot and kille«! at Congress mining camp, Arizona, by a woman of the town named Sadie. A quarrel occurred in the street between Sadie and another woman, when Sadie shot at the woman but missed her, the ball hitting Con- cannon with fatal results. Shasta county officers are after a young man who gave his name as George Colley, who has swindled sev eral merchants by means of raised and forged checks. Mayor Broatch of Omaha, Neb., is holding his job with a force of police. He will not turn his office over to the mayor elect until compelled to do so by the courts, although his term has ex pired. The schooner Annie E. Rudolph, from Camden, N. J., for Boston, with iron pijx*, was sunk off Nauswt, Cape Cod, by colliding with the tug Paoli, ami Captain Gaidmer ami Mate Smith, both of New Jersey, am! a seaman were drow ned. William Miller, an aged capitalist of Stockton, committed suicide by turn ing on the gas in his room. Sickness caused the deed. It may not I m * an impossibility to pro duce a tariff b II without arou-mg sense tional rumors more or less scandalous in their nature in connection with its sugar schedule, but it hasn’t been «lone for some j ears. The sugar scandal started when the Wilson tariff bill which will compel broker Chapman, and perhaps others, to serve fail sentences, unless a Presidential pardon intervenes, ought to have been enough for a generation, but now the air is once more full of rumors about the sugar trust's connection with the sugar schedule of the amended Din- glvy tariff bill, now before the Senate. U M admitted I y tbc .-agar trust that the new sugar schedule does favor it. and that it, and the striking out of the clause declaring for a continuance of the reciprocity treaty with Hawaii, has been taken advantage of already to make a large sum of money by R|»eculating in sugar. It is generally understood that [many changes are to be made in the tar iff bill as it now stands. Were it not for that understanding there would he an open revolt among republicans against many of its provisions Even as it is, the leaders are having a hard time keep ing the rank and tile silent, and the task will become more difficult the 18th of this month, when the bill will be taken up into the Senate for debate. Promin ent republicans of the House show no hesitation in saying that the House would refuse to agree to the hill m its present shape, and friends of President McKinley say that be would veto it, if it passe«! as it now is. It is evident that a hard tariff fight is ah *ad, anti, surprising as it may sound, the bitterest figntmg i* going to be between r< publicans who will in the end vote for the bill. You tan not always tell bow a Senator stands b ’ the way be records his vote. It is known that several Senators who voted for the ratification of that arbitra Lion treaty were much pleased at its re jection and probable that their votes would have been cast against ratification had they been needed to reject the trea ty. Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Roose velt will go to New York this week to make an investigation of a number of charges concerning favoritism and the dismissal of empl yees for political reas- mu in the navy yard at Brooklyn. Mr. Roosevelt’s course will be watched with even more interest by the politicians who are classed as spoilsmen, than those who call themselves civil service reform- ers, of whom Mr. Roosevelt has been a shining light It is believed that this investigation will play an important part in the contest for the control of greater New York and its immense pat ronage, but which side Is to be benefited is yet to be ascertained. Mr. Roosevelt and his immediate superior, Sec. Long, are both supposed to be antagonistic to the Platt republican machine in New York, but President McKinley, while not giving him much patronage so far, has acted as though he were especially desirous to avoid a break w itli Senator Platt There is considerable gossip in naval circles over the plain manner in which Real Admiral Selfridge, who is in com- maud of the European station, has shown his disappointment because the Secret«- ry ot the Navy declined to orde-i him to English waters to represent the U. S. Navy at the Queen’s jubilee celebration. His action has been altogether unusual. When it suggested to hiui by cable by the Secretary of the Navy that the war between Turkey ami Greece might make it advisable to send him more ships, he replied (hat there was ample force there and added a strong hint about his being the proper officer Io be sent to the Queen’s jubilee. Sec. Long then cabled Admiral beltrfdge positive instructions to remain w here he was until otherwise or dered, und to keep in close communica tion with the U. S. ministers at Athens and Constantinople ; also informing him that Admiral Miller would b<* sent to the (¿ueen’ft jubilee aooard the cruiser Brook lyn. Needless to say that public opinion is back of Sec. Long in his keeping a strong nasal force in the East until the tightmg is known to be over, even if he had to keep a naval officer out of a show in order to do it. Probably the only case of its kind on record is the resignation from the Treas ury Department of Mrs. Mary E. Wilcox, who in addition to being the widow of a Mississippi Congressman has the distinc tion of having been born in the While Hoiiw. She resigned because she could not do her work to her own satisfy« non, because of age and feeble health. Secre tary Gage was so much improved by her stwlement that he accepted her res- ignation to take effect at the latest possi ble date—three months ahead—and gave her leave of absence with pay until that time. To Prevent Forest Fire*. The last session of congress enacted the atrxtest kind ot a law against the destriic'ion of government timber. As w II be noticed from the law the highest penally is likely to lx- a severe one. The law as enacted is ar follows Be it enactedby the senate and bouse of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled : That anv person who shall willfully or mali ciously set on fire any timber, under brush or grass upon the public domain, or shall carelessly or negligently leave or suffer fire to burn unattended near any timber or other it.flammable material, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemean or. and U|»on conviction thereof in any district court of the United States hav ing jurisdiction of the same, shall be >, or fined in a sum not more than | be imprisoned for a term of not more than two year», or both. •» That any person «hall Sec. 2. nea r build a camp fire or oil.erfire any forest, timber or other inflammable materal u|x>n the public domain shall , before breaking camp or leaving said tire, totally extinguish the same.

The vase of the shooting was on account of some scandalous minors being circulated through the camp regar ding McMahon s sister, Cecelia, a girl 19 years of age. This occurred about last Christmas when Lewis Guthridge who was going to give a ball there at that date, was informed by many ladies of that town that if McMahon’s sister, Ce celia. was allowed in the ball room they sonld not attend. She did not attend, and this it is state I is the source ot the a hole affair that resulted in the death of a young and respected married man of Granite, who personally had nothing to do at all with circulating any scanda loua rumors. John McMahon was not at Granite at i the time, but on his return this spring he learned of the matter and at once re turned to Baker City and purchased a revolver, and with blood in his eye, he . started io return, informing a party on the road home, so the Eagle is informed, that six or seven persons al Granite would bite the dust before he was through with them. On reaching Granite, he at once sought Ix?wis Guthridge, no one being aware of Ins murderous intent. Finding Guth ridge near bis home, he shot him at short range near the heart, the young man dying in about a half hour. The , sound of the revolver shot called several people to the sti•*•“*<, Sam Guthridge be , ing among them and who rushed to the assistance of his brother who was then ( staggering with a deadly leaden missile in his breast. .McMahon at once com menced firing on Bam, one hall striking him above and left of the right temple producing an ugly scalp wound. The | second shot took effect in his right leg and striking the bone, the course of the billet was tinned downward. Though mortally wounded, he resisted this as ( sault by McMahon and with assistance ‘ soon had him disarmed and under ar ( rest. McMahon had his preliminary exam , ination before the justice of the peace at ( Granite Wednesday follow ing the murder j and was held without bonds to await the ( action of the grand jury for killing Lewis [ Guthridge. The Eagle is informed that McMahon’s mother was also bound over ( to await the action of the grand jury, and | both McMahuii and his mother were tak ( to Canyon City Thursday by Messrs. en 1). H. Dirnick, Neil Niven and W. A. ; Stewart . The funeral of Lewis Gutbridge was | held Thuis lay lie came of a good family , and leaves a grief stricken wite and two, ‘ children. The Guthridge brothers are . highly respected al Granite, where Sam ( at present postmaster and engaged in is the merchandising business. After the shooting excitement ran , high, ami fears were entertained by the ( deputy sheriffs that McMahon would be ' forcibly taken from them and lynched. Dr. Mantber was summoned from , Sumpter, and the late reports from Gran ■ ite are to the effect that the wounds of , Sain Guthridge are not necessarily dan gerous, and it is thought he will soon re * cover. CENTRAL AFRICAN I HUNTING. Illi* llfrds of ('ouutleaa liliida II rad > for the <»un of the Sportsman. There is great «port uwu t ng the wihl-foul hunters who press ucroas the dry deserts of the North Kalahari to the Botlctli or l«ake river, as it is usual ly called.

Another little republic hua been ab- norbed und its individuality lost in a greater and more ¡»owerfuJ .state, aays the New York Sun. Very q>uietly the self-governing island of Norfolk in the South Pacific ocean has been annexed by the government of New South Wales. The inhabitants of thia primitive «eft le- meut are the deacendaikta of the muti neers of the Bounty, who took refuge on Pitcairn island in 1789. In 1856 the uriandetTH hiul so far increased in num tiers that Pitcairn island was insuffi cient for their needs, so many migrated to the larger island of Norfolk, where they continued their own form of gov ern men L Unfortunately their laws and nwth- oda, though entirely satisfactory to thcanselvcs, recently excited the unfa vorable notice of the governor of New South Wales. ITe chief fault of the syKtem .* emed to lx* that, there was no ¡skid jm )1 iceman and no prison, and that consequently debts were difficult, of re covery ami orime could not be punished adequately. Although the Ulanders unanimously declar«xl against lx*ing handed over to New South Wales and jirepe-red to follow their own customs, the. British government, has sanctioned (he incorporation, ami this quaint and flourishing ('oiiiinune has com«* to an end. Settlers are to 1>e encouraged to farm ujx>n the island by the cheap sale of land. Public, houses, or mi loons, which were formerly forbidden, will doubtless be allowed, and ail that was distiihotive in the comtirunity iadoomed. SCIENTIFIC EGG-HUNTER.

Fin ally one day la-*t week, he started out to make his first trial. Going down by the river, he selected a nice, smooth, grassy •lope. After getting on and off a iew times in the usual grai'eful manuer of beginners, he was finally (irmly seated in the saddle and wobbled around in great ship* for a lime But fate was af ter him. In his wobbling« he happened to bead the machine down hill towards the river. He was delighted at the ease with which be run the machine, and did not notice where he was headed until he was about 10 feet from the steep bluff that l ung right over the deep water of the river, but it was then too late. He gave a wild yell, pulled back on the han [dleibars and shouted “Whoa!” but to no avail, and the next instant Jack and the wheel made a graceful curve and plun ged into the deep, chilly water of the Siletz river, with the wheel on top. Presently a very wet and thoroughly dis gusted Indian crawled out onto the shore, dragging a bicycle after him, and the wheel is again for trade. «iherinn I’rovlfire W«Wer« Ionic from the < «»n«fu«-t «»f an Inann«* OfHclnl.
