It Is not likely that Settle Bros, will dispose of their warhouse, as the man to whom they expected to sell is talk ing of building elsewhere. After going to Cruson & Menzies hardware store and getting prices, we find that they are selling goods as low as any place in the valley. Some of our young people ascended Peterson's butte Saturday and partici pated In the rustic exercises of the school cuiidreu on that date, Oregon weather in this section is about all that can be desired. Warm weather, with occasional showers is Just what pleases our farmers.

John Donaca has ben stopping on his father's farm for two weeks past while the latter was helping forward the interests of the Lebanon Canal Co. G. M. Westfall drove over to Harris burg and back last Saturday. A ride of 60 miles over a not very smoothe rode Is telling on a man of Milton's weight. Perhaps no part of town can boast of as many new aweumgs and more ex tensive improvements than our eastern suburb located on both sides of Bridge Avenue.

The city of Seattle has extended its limits so as to include Wassom's Addi tion. Linn county men who bought lots in this addition will know by this that their property is now in Seattle. Our produce merchants received an Invoice ot salmon and catfish last week and before the news had time to spread the catfish were all sold, which proves that the latter is a rare dish in these parts. We fear that if the small boys are al lowed to play on the Santiam bridge that some of them will be missing. It in dangerous playground, and parents would do well to keep their eye on their little ones. Lebanon Engine Company held a drill last Friday evening with a view to ascertaining whether everything was In good order. We need a few more cisterns and we are told that they will be provided.

The company then drove to Waterloo, hut met with no better success there, the spring at that place being submerged. T. C. IVebler hns provided for the muscular development of the young men by erecting a trapeze in the rear of his store. After watching the per formances for awhile we were con vinced that the boys would perform belter at tumbling than on the trapeze. The little misses of Lebanon enjoyed themselves to the full on the evening of the first of May. Woven paper baskets of various colors were tilled with flowers and suspended from door knobs, and In this way they heralded the advent of the "month of flowers." The first of a series of baseball games will be played by the Lebanon tireys and the Albany nine on next Saturday afternoon. Arrangements have been made for five match games between these two etutis and much interest is being manifested by all lovers of this kind of sport. There are conflicting opinions rela tive to the value of the coal discoveries east of town. By some they are con sidered good for cropplngs, while others, accustomed to seeing Kastern coal of a higher grade, are inclined to put a conservative estimate upon dis coveries of tins kind. . Agent Rennet informed the people of ijetmnon on jtioumy evening tuat a special train would be placed at the disposal of as many as desired to see the presidential party as the train f mssed through Albany Tuesday morn ng.

One of the worst enemies to blos soming fruit trees in this part of the country is a small bird which perches among the branches and using his beak as a pair of shears cuts the blos soms so rapidly that the failing petals resemble a light snow storm. Unless these feathered marauders can be in duced to cease from their unprofitable labors there will be a shortage in the fruit crop. The following statement from Mr. W. B.

Barbour, the Leb anon merchant, was found In the Wil lamette river near Penuoyer's mill on Sunday last; In response to a telegram, Mr. Dal- gleish went to Portland Monday, and Mrs. Barbour on the following day. Both Identified the remains as those of Wm. Barbour. Mr. Dalglelsh, the murdered man's partner, who has been intimately acquainted with Mr. Bar bour for a number of years, testified that he was not an excessive drinker. Dr. Andrew Smith made an exami nation of the remains finding a 82-ea li ber pistol bullet in the brain. The bullet entered the head at a point three inches back of the right ear, passing entirely through the brain and strik ing against the upper part of the left side of the forehead. Nothing was elicited during the inquest to give the slightest clue to the perpetrators of the terrible crime. The remains were de posited temporarily in a vault in Port land until further Instructions from the relatives of the deceased. Following is theOregonlan's account of the finding of the body: D. W, Prince, th cider sail vIuorw aisnufVte turer. In bwfnem on South Water street, rejMrUil to Coroner River About 1 o'clock yesteniiiy after noon, t hut the body of an unknown man hml been found in the rtver betwoen the lopi at Pen. noyer'a mill. The body was Usovcreti by K. A. Carrel, and lie notitktl Mr. Prlncw. Coroner iilver ntomt feat ihe dead wajron to the null and found the body as rFiwwttt. It wan the body of a man about '2$ year ot ac. with dark Imlr and light moustache. He w&t well droned and it wi cvl dent that he wan a man in good ctrrma stance. The owe was so badly discolored that no one could reenffnlM It. When searched at the morniie nothing was found on the body except a small scrap of paper ron tnl nine a receipt for Home t purchased from a Portland rtrysood Arm. The upiier bnlf of the rewtpt was torn ot! no that the receipt amounted to absolutely nothlrf for the purpo of identification. The body was atlired In a checkered Scotch tweed milt, blae!; Me Inrush, white shtrt. and white necktie with blue Iwirt- xontal stripes. In the tie there was a square irold pin with mat and ereneent ornanienu. There was a pearl Iu the ereseunt and a inunetin the star.' This pin led to the IdenlMcaiion of the remain. The front of the head wax crushed In, and from a hole in the back of the head, evidently a I let hole the brains were oozinp out. No one knew who the dead man was and the reporter, remembering the mysterious disappear ameof Barbour, auspeeled that it was the bori- oTthe mining man. The ie and general build of the body eorrc-ponded with the description ot Barbonr. For the purpose of atii'Tlns himself in this point thw reporter called at the city Jail where the poliee authorities have a photograph of Barbour. The searf-pm told the tale. It was the body of BortwMir. lietectire 6riluaeher, after taking look at the body was wiiisUed of the name fact. Mr. Burhonr was a member of the firm of Bar bour & lolff ir!?h, at Lebanon, Or. He came to Portland on businmss on Wediiwiay, April 15. Soon after hi arrival he deposited In the Rank of British Columbia sctne 700 tn aconey, whieh he brought with hlra. Dnring the day, in addition to making some new purchase, he drew three cheeks on the Hank of British Columbia, one of 875. (aynble to himself; another of about t50 p-ay-able to Messrs. Foster A Robertson, and a third of about payable to Hears. 8. Jt (I. itimp. He spent the nijfhi of the 16th at the Bolton hmw, leaving there on the moraine of tlw lRtn as if ex- pectins to return. He was seen on the lfiift 1 y Mr. W. M. Autos, with whom be was nt one time associated in the a;rocery hnsinewi onVaMiington street. He railed to return to his hotel on theeveo inir of the.ltHh as was expected he would do. and nothing more was heard orseen of him. The police made dilisvnt Inquiry, but eould trc him only for a few days after hisdiwipearance. He whs known to hare about 9125 on hia perron when last aeen. butas$S0 of this la aerxniuted for by a deposit, which it was yesterday learned he had made, he eould not have had over SU5 on hia person. He also had a (told witch and chain and a diamond ring. He spent some ef his money for drinks, but how much is not known. Several saloon men saw him in their places of business drinking with friend, but when they last &aw him thty don't remember. That Barbour wan foully dealt with there s lit tle doubt. The injuries on the heud are evidence of this. The fact thai all his money, watch and chain and dianmnd ring are mlwing would lead to the inference that he was murderd for bi money. But how, when or by whom he was murdered no one knows. The frcneral supposi tion is that he was mnxdered somewhere in the city, and that the body was then carted off and dumped into the river at Pennoyer's milt. Bar bour would not have strolled out that far himself and the trody could not have floated up stream. The police are satisfied that it is a case of murder, and ilie fullest Investigation will be made. Good Business Sfaorlna;. The subjoined report from the S. P. agent, at this place, gives a general idea of the business transacted at this point for the month ofAnril.
