Lebanon Express. H. Y. KIRKPATRICK, Editor - and - Proprietor , Mr. Pennoykr has accepted the nomination fur mayor of Portland in the following characteristic lech: "In answer to your letter apprising me of my nomination for the office of mayor of Portland, by the Taxpayer" League, I w.U Bay that I thank the league and accept the nomination. The wages of hibnr, the price of products, the volume and profit of business and the values of landeii and all other property, have all been reduced in conformity to the recently adopted narrow basis of our single money metal.. But while thiB has been done the expenditures of govern ment and the salaries of officials hive not been reduced, and so our people are being ground to poverty between the millstones of extrava gant public expenditures and high official salaries and the netber mill stone of low prices and prostrated industries. If elected, it Bhall be my purpose, beginning with the office of mayor, to have public ex penditures conform to existing con ditions, so far as the same can be done without injuring a proper municipal administration, or inter fering with necessary public improvements." The best news for American farmers is the authentic report that the three beet sugar factories in California have tne past fall turned out 50,000,000 pounds of granuluted augur, while the Utah factory has made 7,500,000. Here is s product worth neurly 1,500,- 0G0. Instead of sending that money out of the country to pay for the imported sugar, the people of California and Utah have kept it at home. It has gone into the pockets of their own formers, la borers, merchants, capitalists and railroads interested in this beet sugar business. The coming fall these factories will probably turn out $3,000,000 worth of sugar. That sum, too, .will be distributed among the people of these states, and thus will be kept where it will do the most good. These are about 2000 Chinese voters in San Francisco, and within the next five years 3,000 or 4,000 male Chinese-, born in San Francis co, 'will have attained the age ol 21 ye.rs and therefore, entitled to vote. They acquire this privilege under the iourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States. Yet, under a treaty be tween this country and China, the voter's father cannot be naturalized and is, therefore, not a citizen. The population of the Chinese quarter is about 35,000, and the coming Chinese sufiragiBts, in addition to those who have already arrived at the voting age, will soon cut an important factor in the politics of 8an Francisco and Cal ifornia. They are cow being courted by the politicians, who are looking forward to 1898, Hon. M. A. Muxes has been elected a delegate to the national democratic convention at Chicago, Mr. Miller is a man of ability and energy, and will represent his party at Chicago. Lebanon people appreciate the honors conferred on the citizens by the democratic county and state conventions. The Lane county populist ticket has been declared off, and a new convention has been called to meet at Eugene on the 24th. They in vite republicans and democrats favoring the initiative and referen dum to unite with them on a plat form composed of the above planks. Ou account of high handed primary methods, In Yamhill county, neurly equaled In Albany, a part of the re publican party there have called to other convention, and an Independent ticket will be nominated. TiieJournal speaking of it says: The farmers have been irampled upon onoe too often by the selfish county teat ring and there threatens to be a solid uprising of a nou-parttaan character that will snow onder the American primary manipulators. A BOY DID IT. Ontl Potdxtr, a Neighbor boy, Is tta. PrSator ofth Smith Family. The sequel to the peculiar ca n of attempted poisoning of the Widow Smith and her family at Coburg has at last been found. The read ers of the Exprkss will reincmher the case which has been published heretofore. In all 23 visits were made to the farm by the family persecutor end now it transpires that he is a 12-year-old boy, Orul Poindexter, who lives on a farm adjoining the Smith farm. Since the recent visits wore made to the Smith place by some un known person who scattered poison .bout the premises, nie.i.lwrs ot the family have been keeping n sharp lookout fiir the would lie assassin, and S. O. Garrison, a neighbor, was appointed snecinl officer to keep a watch for and arrest the js'tiilty party. On last Friday Mrs. Smith left the house while one of the little girls remained there twkecp watch. Soon after Mrs. Sir.i'h left, the it tie girl sun the bov, Oral I'uin- dexter, approaching the house. de carried in his hands a small vial containing a liquid which he started to pour into the pump when the little girl knocked a tin pan off the stove, making a noise that frightened him away before he nccomplished his purpose. Mr. Garrison was immediately notified and asked to arrest the boy, but he desired more evidence before arrest ing a boy ao young. On Saturday morning one of the little girls, Hilda Smith, aged 13 years, went to tne barnyard to place some eggs under a goose. While stooped over in a position to place the eggs she was struck a blow on top of the head from he- hind. She was rendered senseless hv the blow and was carried into a chicken house about 30 feetdistant, where she was left and afterwards found by some of the members of the family. Dr. Mackey, of Har risburg, was Bent for and rendered medical assistance to the little girl whose head is vet in a painful condition from the effects of the blow. On the afternoon of the same day Oral Poindcxter made three visits to the Smith house and posted threatening notices on the door each time. He was seen each visit by members of the family who were keeping a watchnut. Mr. Garrison was again notified and this morning arrested the bov at the home of Mr. Thornton, taking him to Eugene that after noon. The Eugene Guard says: Oral Poindexter is a boy small of his age. He wept bitterly when ques tioned in the justice's office. Hm oarents were in this city at the lime of his arrest, having been here tor several nays to opt medical treatment for Mrs. Poindexter. It is believed by many that he has been prompted to commit the acts. and it is said that family troubles nave existed between the i'omdex lers and Smiths for sometime. The boy was placed under $500 bonds to awuit examination, as owing to the high stage of water it will be difficult to get. witnesses nereforafew days. He' has not yet raised bonds. His mother and 'his step-father left town 'the same day at noon and did not know of his arrest. An earring was lost in this city last Friday. Finder will please leave same at this office.

Catarrh being a constitutional disease, -requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directiv upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient tiength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing ils ork. The proprietors have so much faith in its cura tive powers that they offerone hundred dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Bend for list of testimonials. -Address, F, J.
