The Dally Morning Dispatch made Its first appearance in The Dalles yesterday. The creamery In Eugene Is having trouble in getting enough milk to operate the plant profitably. Five hundred feet of track iron, to be used in the tunnels, have been hipped to the Luckey Boy mine, on Blue river. William Croos and W. J. Rieblin have bought the machinery for a ireamery that they are soon to estab lish in Hslsey. The warehouse and flour mills in The Dalles are taking in considerable wheat dally, probably an average of about 2,'00 sacks. The matter of building a telephone line from Baudot! to Wedderburn is being discussed in Bandon, and sub scriptions are being solicited. The trench in which the beeves will be roasted at the republican barbecue iu Eugene next Saturday has been dug. It is four feet wide, six leet deep and 30 feet long. The Lewis and Clark road has been completed. It now extends from the west shore of Young's river, opposite Astoria, through the Lewis and Clark country to Clatsop plains. Baker City is having a building boom. Since the first of last January there have been built 75 new house, and the work still goes on. The treasurer of JackBon county gives notice that there ate fuuds in the treasury for the redemption of war- Huts protested between Ueoember 9, 1889, and January 11, 1890. Interest ceased ou them Sept. 18. Rufus Cox, who operates one uf the largest threshing outfits in the Rogue river valley, reporls having handled u0,000 bushels of grain this season. He says the crop is considerably short over the valley generally. Ihe topographical engineers who have been at work in Coos county tbiB Bummer, have finished tueir work, and returned to headquarters to work up their data. They expect to get over into the Sixes mining district this summer, but failed. The residence of Mrs. Hattie Stevens on the Jacksonville-Medford road, near Jacksonville, burned to the ground Monday noun. It was the old story of a defective flue. The loss amounts to several hundred dollars, which is partially covered by insur ance. There is no material change in the run of flab near Astoria. The- can neries there report light catches, and do not look for much improvement for a few days yet. The fishing above has been somewhat better, although not particularly enoouargiug from the packer's standpoint. A. Suead, of Bear creek, who is rec ognized as being one of the best hunt ers in Coos county, was on the bay last week on business, Bays the Marshfield News. Ue reports elk scarce iu the mountains now, but deer are. fairly plentiful. The largest baud he knows of frequents the country lying between the bay and Randolph. He estimates the numlier in the baud as between and SO. The grain derrick belonging to Riue. hart & Glenn's threshing outfit and three stacks of barley on B. L. Brooks farm, near Summervllle, in Unlou county, were all destroyed by fire a short time ago. Sparks were blown from the engine to one of the graiu Btacks, and the fire was immedi ately beyond control. The separator was pulled out of the way, without be ing particularly damaged. The total loss of the owners of the threshiug out fit will reach about WOO. The coroners juiy decided that J. C Baker, who was killed at the White Swan uiiue, came to his death by be iug struck by a bucket while oareless ly crossing the hoisting shaft, oausiug him tu fall down the shaft. The de ceased was a member in good standing of Hassulo lodge No. 15, 1. O. O. , of Portland, where he resided before go ing to Baker nounty, and where he was for a long time in the employ of the I. B. Hammond iron works, as engineer. He was aged about 80 years. Among his possessions at the mine were found certificates of deposit in the Bank of British Columbia, Portland, for $365, aud promissory uotes amounting to $800. Read, Peacook & Co. has aleevel.s Uu0l trwtt tut ladlM ttMt t to Hobos from far and near are center ing toward Eugene, sava the Guard. It seems they have gotten wind of the big republican barbecue and have con cluded that that city will be a good plaoe to get a square meal. It Is said that at least 75 of these "hungry Willies" are hanging around in the vicinity of town awaiting the roast ing of beeves, pigs and sheep, while many more are headed that way and will be there In time help celebrate. The 'till at Pelton & Neil's butcher shop, in Ashland, was robbed during the noon hour Friday of t8 or $8 In change. Suspicion pointed to a 12-year-old boy, who was rounded up. He was given the alternative of going to jail or producing the money. He re turned the money in a very few min utes, and no charge was entered against him. He Is not the only Ash land boy of his age, either, who needs to have the parental power strongly asserted to keep him from dangerous paths, says the Tidings. TheGrants Pass Mining Journal says that during the winter and spring of 1898 a character calling himself Riley" spentspent much time around Galice creek, Waldo and Happy Camp prospecting. Later in the spring he pnt in time at Oasquet's .Crescent City and Gold Reach, and then mysteri ously disappeared. At various times since then two parties, with a foreign accent of different nationality, have covered the same territory, prospect ing, fishing, drinking and gambling. It now transpires that these mysteri ous character were in the government aecrect service, and that sensational developments may soon be made. James Osborn last Tuesday brought to Baker City an American white pelican, measuring exactly eight feet from tip to tip, which he killed Mon day afternoon on George B. Sturgill's farm on Lower Powder. It is the first bird of this species that has been seen in that section, and it doubtless was on IU way from the lakes in the Rocky mountains to the Florida coast, where (hey are abundant in the winter. It was brought to the ground by a single No. S shot, which winged the visitor. The authorities of Josephine county, Or., and Del Norte county, Cat., have notified the Bheriffof Curry county, Or., that the scene of the Perry mur der, which was supposed to be in Josephine county, is inJCurry county. Curry county h"s sent Surveyor Filz- hugh to ascertain the correctness of the report. The scene of the murder is 75 miles from Gold Beach and the witnesses will have to come from Grants Pass and Crescent City, and in case the crime was committed iu Curry county it will be an expensive trial. There is a bear in the neighborhood of Coos City, which has been decreas ing tte number of hogs owned by Lester Smith to an alarming extent. Bruin devc loped an appetite for fnsh pork early in the spring, and when ever he makes a raid he goes the whole hog, and sometimes more. He has devoured 17 members of the porcine family, aud that there is nothing to indicate that his desire for pork has been appeased. He refuses to be poisloned, declines to put his foot in a trap, and begs to be excused from hastening his own death by interfer ing with meat attached by strings to the triggers of a loaded shot gun. Mr. Black, the ex-Rogue river ferry man, has a pair of peculiar freaks in the animal way, saya the Medford Mail. Some several weeks ago a female canine ol his gave birth to several pups, About the same time a' brood sow gave birth to a litter of pigs. The sow was bitten by a bear about that time so badly as ts mako it impossible to nurse her young. And immediately following the pups were killed and their mother made a foster mother of the pigs which pigs she has since nursed. Highest of ail in Leavening Power Latett U. S. Gov't Report ABSOLUTELY PURE A NEGRO BOY'S AWFUL CRIME. He Murdered a Family in the State of Louisiana. New Orleans, Sept 25. One of the most atrocious murders in the history of this state was committed by a negro boy named John Johnson, In a farm house four miles south of Indepen dence. rJoe Cotton, bis wife, her brother and two Bisters were killed, t he first by a pistol shot and the other four with an ax. The fiend who com mitted this quintuple murder is a negro boy who has been in the employ of Cotton siuce April 2. He was al lowed to sleep In the same house. The motive Is a mystery as no attempt at robbery has been made. Th e only member of the family who escaped was little Maud Miller, 14 years old. She darted from the house and gave the alarm. She says she saw Johnson begin the butchery by strik ing her mother with an ax. The murderer is still at large and 1b being traoked with bloodhounds by a mob, He will probably be lynched if caught, Obituary. (From the Albany Democrat.) Lucinda Farwell Bonar. was born Nov. 22, at Millers, Oregon. She was the fourth daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Farwell, of Plainview, Oregon, December 29, 1895, she was happily united in marriage to D. M. Bonar, of Plainview, Oregon. This was one of those favorite mingling aud blending of loving hearts. In 1886 she became converted and united with the Evan gelical Association and always lived a consistent Christian life. During her stay in Albany she was the acceptable S. S. Superintendent of the Evangeli cal church, also president of the Y. P, A. for one term, over which she pre sided with grace and dignity. On Sept. 22, 1896, she died in the triumphs of a living faith in Jesus. Rev. o. L. Fisher, of Portland, conducted the funeral service from the U. B. church. at Pleinview, on Thursday, at 10 a. m, aud the remaina were laid to rest In Sand Ridge cemetery, followed by a host of friends. Little Town Burned. Arlington, Or., Sept. 26, A disas trous fire occured at Cleveland, a small town about 20 miles north of this place In Klickitat county. Nine buildings went up in smoke, including the principal store, two blacksmith shops, a hotel and a livery barn. The town has no fire department, and no ' water could be used except what was thrown on with buckets. The destruction is believed to be the work of incendiaries although there is no clue to the guilty parties. ; ' A Sad Accident. An exceedingly sad accident befell the family of David Bhough, of Lob ster, while returning home from this city. Mr. Shough is a member of the republican county central committee from his precinct and had been to Corvallis attending the McKinley demonstration the day before, He was acoompanled by his wife and three-year-old child and was driving a wide track wagon, which was probab ly the real cause of the accident. While descending the Alsea mountain, near Yew camp, where the roadway is very narrow, one of the wheela Btruck a root projecting from the bank, throwing Mr. Shough and his little child to the uround. The child fell immediately in front of one of the wheelsj' which rolled over his head, crushing his skull aud killing him in tantly. The remains were interred next day. Mr. and Mrs. Shough were greatly shocked over the distressing accident and have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. Corvallis Gazette. The Cowan Property Sold. The J. L. Cowan property was sold at U. 8. Marshal's sale at 10 o'clock" this forenoon by Deputy TJ. S. Marshal George Humphrey, and was bid in by Mr. Wallace McCamant, attorney for the plaintiff, the Bank of California, for $5,000. There were two other bids. The property has been rented by Dr. G. w. Maston, who will move into the residence as soon as fitted up for the purpose. For two or three years there has been a great uncertainty as to who owned this property, and it has been allowed to run down. It will be pleasing to see the transforma tion that will take place in the artis tic and tasty hauds of Dr. Maston. Democrat. After that $15,000. In 1892 upon the first sale of the 0. P. a deposit of $25,000 was made by Col. Hogg. This was reduced by ex penses to $19,000, all of which was de posited in the Job bank. It is now worth about $6,000 A petition was filed for the return of the $25,000, but was denied. Since then there have been numerous proceedings, terminat ing on Wednesday with a notice of appeal by Col. Hogg served upon the respondents, Farmers Loan & Trust Co., Wm, Mackey and D. A. Osburn, sheriffs, J. R. Brysou, aaaignee of the Job bank, and B, W. Wilson, county clerk. Wallis Nash is attorney for appellant He has filed a bond of $5,000 with S. E. Young surety. The Killing of Henry Bruso, The coroner's inquest over the re mains of Henry Bruso, killed by a blow from a club in the bands of Ned Sutherlln, seemed to make the defend, ant's case appear in a better light, says the Roseburg Review. It appeared from the testimony that Bruso had struok Sutherlln hard enough to make his nose bleed. George Nolta came Into the bouse after that and asked . Sutherliu what the matter wus. Suth- erlin Bald that Bruso had struck him. Bruso then aaked Nolta if he wanted to take it up, and dragged him out of doors. No one saw the blow struck that crushed Bruao's skull; but Sutherlln admitted striking him. Work of the Immigration Board. The immigration board is now re ceiving about 60 letters of inquiry per day, the replies to which involves a large amount of labor. A personal letter is dictated to every inquirer. Some ask that information be sent to a number of their friends, which necsst tales the writing of separate letters to each. The board has only two type writers employed at present, and, al though they are probably the hardest worked typewriters in the city, they cannot keep up with the work. A large amount of literature is also mailed dtily to those who write letters of luqulry, and several perhous are kept busy attending to this. Ore-gonian. One-half wool dresa goods reduced to 10 nts., and bleached, all linen table cloth for 85 eta. a yard, at the Racket Cheered for Bryan, The Salem Journal tells the follow ing: The McKinley meeting at Gilbert & Patterson's hopyaid near Eola was attended by about 100 voters. Hon. John M. 8omere, of Albany, spoke. The crowd voluntarily cheer ed for Bryan at the olose of his speech and he got up and gave them another talk. They cheered for Bryan again He did it a third time, Baying be would come back as often as they cheered for Bryan, and the crowd who were anxious to go on with a dance, cheered for Somers. C. B, Moores, of Salem, then spoke and reprimanded the crowd for treating Somers as they had. He talked a few minutes and proposed three cheers for McKinley, aud even Bryan men joined iu this and the cheers were given bo the dance eouia be negun, Call aud see my Hew stock of station Probate Record, In estate of Hugh Nickeraon, new Inventory filed.
