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

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

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.

The readers of this paper K ill lie pleased
e learn that there is at lodst one dreaded
liaeaae that science has been able to cure in
all its stages and that is catarrh, Hall's
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. 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.
