A Wild Wheat Market.
The wildest wheat market seen in Chi
cago in years, was 'that of Monday.
Fluctuations went side by side with great
rapidity, jumps of nearly a cent at a time
being frequent. July wheat opened i
cent above the closing prices of Saturday
but was in heavy supply at that figure
and the price was Jammed down 1? in a
short time. Tbe bulls Redoubled their
efforts and soon had the 'market on an
excited boom, culminating in a rise of 2
cents above the lowest price previously
made. But on the reports of a ridicul
ously small world's visible decrease the
prices went down with a rush to 00 J, a
quarter below .the high market session.
Buying was heavy. John Cudahy was
said to have taken one million bushels at
tbe top. It is said tbat he sold as much
as be bought previously and bis aggress
ive daring contributed much to break
the 2 , which occupied only fifteen min
utes in its course. The market recover
ed noon to about the opening price, but
extreme nervousness was visible.

MARRIED AFTER TEN YEARS.
The Romantic Outcome of the Saun-ders-Campbell-Allison
Affair.
The approaching marriage of Captain
Wirt W, Saunders and Miss Minnie
Allison is the romantic outcome of a sen
sational affair in Albany in 1885, and it
will revive memories through the Wil
lamette valley of the death of Charles
Campbell at the hands of 6aunders, one
night in the fall of tbat year. It is, in a
somewhat modified form, a reversed case
of Jacob and Rachel, and the Laban in
the case was the circuit court of the
commonwealth of Oregon. Miss Allison
has waited faithfully for Captain Saun
ders for over ten years, and be has ful
filled a promise that was heretofore pre
vented of fulfillment by "circumstances
over which be had no control." -
The circumstances of the death of
Charles Campbell are very well remem
bered throughout Oregon and tbe North
west Campbell was a good-natured,
stalwart somewhat dissipated young
man-about town, who was supposedly
engaged to marry Miss Mattie Allison, a
very well known and popular young lady
of Albany. Because, of some trifling
quarrel, Miss Allison took it into her
pretty head that Campbell ought to De
disciplined, and she appealed to her
Bister's fiance, Captain Saunders, to
undertake the task. Saunders was
editor of aCorvallia paper, hot-headed,
and inclined to be boastful of hie physi
cal prowess, which was considerable.
Both Campbell and Saunders were over
six feet in height, athletic, sinewy and
courageous ; and it may be tbat tbe Cor
vallis editor thought he might meet more
than his match in the Albany young
blood. However that may be, he armed
himself with a pistol, and went with
Mattio Allison to Fee her lover. Miss
Allison bad sent youujt Campbell a note
asking him to meet her at night noar tbe
county courthouse ; but she gave him no
intimation that Saunders would accom
pany her. Campbell was promptly on
hand at the trysting place; so were
Saunders and the young woman. JuBt
what was said will never be known ; but
what was done is a matter of history. A
quarrel ensued between the two young
men, and tbe Corvallis lover shot the
Albany lover tbrouph the body. Camp
bell fell and was heard to cry out: "He's
shot me down like a dog." He died
before morning. :
etaunders and Mies Allison were ar
rested for murder, and excitement ran
high, very high. It was feared there
might be a lynching, and the woman
was afterward removed to Salem for safe
keeping. Saundors was tried, and,
though he claimed tbat be shot Camp
bell in self-defense, he was convicted
and sentenced to be hanged.
But Saunders was not born to be
harmed, and on the night of tbe Fourth
of July, 1887, with another prisoner, te
broke jail. Lbey no doubt bad outtiJe
assistance, for they secured weapons,
ammunition and 'provisions, and struck
out for the Coast range mountains. Tbe
entire country was aroused in their pur
suit, and it was expected that Saunders
would not be captuied if he were alive,
for he was known to be desperate. The
feat was, however, accomplished by D.
B. Monteitb, of Albany, and F. P. Hogan,
then of Roeeburg, both determined
men. They surprised Saunders as he
was walking along a trail near Alsea, got
the drop on him, and he was forced to
accept the alternative of surrender or
death, tie surrendered.
Saunders was returned to jail, and got
a change of venue, to Salem, where on a
second trial he was convicted of murder
iu tbe secon 1 degree, which involves a
sentence to the penitentiary for life.
Saunders was a model prisoner. He was
exceedingly useful to tbe authorities in a
variety of ways, being an especially fine
penman. He acquired some knowledge
of medicine and served as hospital stew
ard for a long time. Saunders fairly
earned his pardon, and it came as one
of the last acts of Pennoyer's administra
tion. Since then Captain Saunders, who
is a more than ordinarily bright man.
has been practicing law in Spokane, and
was recently made post-trader at Colville
reservation. Miss Minnie Allison left
Albany many years ago, and has for a
long time been a teacher in the public
schools at Helena, Mont.
It never transpired that Mattie Allison
was accessory to Saunders' crime in kill
ins Campbell, but it seemed tbat she
simply wanted him chastised, or disci
plined in some way. She was never
tried, the grand j ry finding "not a true
bill" in ber care. She is married, and is
living in Idaho.
THE BOY " ESCAPED.
His Horse, Though, Drowned in the
Powder River.
Ernest Goodwin, of Baker City, a boy
who drives a delivery wagon, drove his

a little further than tbe boy intended,
and was immediately drawn into tbe

wagon were swept nnder the bridge, but
fortunately tbe boy caught hold of a

ABOUT THE FLOODS.
Believed the O. R. & N. Will Not
Suffer From Them This Spring.
Three work trains were sent out today
to operate on the Oregon Railway &
Navigation line between Umatilla and
Portland on the Columbia river division.
Tho men will attempt to save the rip
rapping along the track, where the high
water comes close to the roadbed. Al
ready, tbe watei has risen in placet to
within a few feet of the rails and tbe
East Oregonian was informed by a rail
road man that, if the river rises but a few
feet more, even four or five feet, the
trains will be stopped. But from close
observations and reports from tbe head
water territory, it is now thought the
flood water will pass off easily and with
out heavy volume at any one time, thus
avoiding any great trouble. It is even
believed the washout will be less dis
astrous than is usual during the spring,
and the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company be saved ths expense of exten
sive repairs and annoying delays.
Waterspouts appear to be quite common
in tbe mountain districts this year, but
only in one instance has the road suffer
ed any Inconvenience from them, and
then a delay of only four or five hours.

treatment for such a condition is
plain and simple. The blood muBt
first be purified so that the nervous
system, and in fact all the organs
will be fed upon pure blood. In
