Jas. G. Blaine, wile and two daiiglit-
eis will sail for Europe June 8.
Newberg is the place for a county
dr. They do not in ike a practice ol
'gouging” everybody down there, like
they did at the so called “County Mc
Minnville Fair."— Lafayette Register
Mav 13.
Bay, brother, did you lose somo money
betting on Buckskin? Please explain
iiow you g«»t “gouged.” We quite agree
with the brother, that Newberg is the
place lor a county fair, She has had
several very successful ones heretofoie,
and will doubtless have several again.
But wo expect McMinnville, North
Yam hill ami other tow ng to exhibit like
local enterprise. No one ever supposed
Lafayette, would attempt any such
thing. She scarcely has energy enough
to "gouge” • good pip..- into existence.
T1 m third convocati on of Indian Wa
Veterans which is to be held in Portland
the 14th of next month, will be the moat
interesting one yet held. The Mechan
ics pavilion has been secured in which
these men who did honor to their coun
try, are to meet, and invitations to sev
eral of the members have been extend
ed who had accepted, and will speak.
A feature of Pioneer day will be the pa-
rude of these battered and worn and
true men of the country. Tl.eir step
will not boas in the .lavs of yore, but
as they stey into line, the same love <>l
country will swell their breasts and
animato their hearts.
It seems now as if a little light had
begun to penetrate the traitorous old
skull of lelF Davis. At a reception given
him at Meridian, Mississippi the oilier
day, he made the following remarks,
regarding our union : “United you are
now, and if the Union is ever to be bro
ken let the other side break it. The army
of the south will shine forever around
the camp flies and will still shine to our
children and their children. Tho truths
we fought for shiil.l not encourage you to
ever tight again, but keep your word in
good cr evil. God bless you all.”
Documents have been unearthed tn
the office of the Register of Deeds in
Wisconsin, which shows Daniel Webster
once owned 3,000 acres of land tn that
state, embracing part of the piescnt
site of the city of Madison, and that he
was inlersted in a scheme locating in
that county, on the banka of the Wis
consin river, a city which should in
time be the metropolis of the west. He
however, got more deeply interested in
other matters and disposed of his inter
ests there before the prospective metrop
olis was ever started.
Mr. Crocker says that the C & O will
be completed to the state line by the 1st
prox. and that nil haste possible will be
made in the completion of the tunnels;
that upon completion through trains
with sleepers and immigrant cars wil; bn
put on and rates made accmdingly. lie
thinks the completion of the line will
cause decided improvement in values
throughout western Oregon and predicts
a general advance in the prices of real
estate, particularly farming lands, as a
consequence.
Col. F. P. Ilord, a prominent and
wealthy citizen, ami Captain George
Redmond, of San Antonia Texas, have
been indicted by the Federal grand jury
on the ground of conspiracy todeliaud
the government of revenue. The indict
nietits are the out' growth of wholesale
smuggling schemes on the BioGrande
bolder, which have been heretofore pm-
sued. Other prominent stockmen are
also indicted, whose names are not
made public.
Unless Tlieobe, woo run against Car-
lise for congress, gives some good ex
planation for delay in filing his papers
in his contests for Carlisle's seat, lie

gress allows thirty days after the filing
of a member’s certificate lor n contestee
to reply, and ninety days for taking ol
testimony. This period expired April
28, but the clerk of the house has receiv
ed no papers from Tlioobe.
Great preparations are being made at
Biltimore Md. for tho to -eption of Car

Another accident occured on the Sisk
iyou mountain last Saturday resulting
in throe persons being badly injured.
A stage from Stephenson’s Ashland
stable carrying several Western line re
pairers was upset by the horses running
away on the south side of the summit,
where the Stnttz theatrical people were
wrecked. The coach was totally demol
ished. This is the same team that ran
away before.
E d . T elephone :
D ear S iu :—Last week I arrived
in McMinnville fully prepared to
open a Drug Store in yourenterpris
ing city, but after looking the field
over, I was convinced that it would
be suicidal for me to embark in
trade where there is a buiness house,
so disgustingly aggressive and so
lost to the interests of other houses
as one you have located in your
city. It is with surprise and
chagrin that I notice that this par
ticular house is steadily increasing
its number of customers day after
day, by employing methods that
would make it very uncomfortable
for me, if I were in busiuess here.
Just as it now does for competing
establishments who are striving to
combat the evil. I refer to G eo .
W. B urt the P rescription D rug
gist who is selling drugs, medi
cines, paints, oils, stationery etc.
at such exceedingly low prices
that I decided this is no place for
me, and the other fellows may as
well pull out. too.

The grand jury of Polk county, after
an investigation of the charges against
John D. Belt, postmaster of McCoy, for
selling liquor without license, returned
“not a true bill.” This ends the law
suits in which .Mr. Belt has been involv
ed, all on account of his having become
a “government Nashy.” The case of
young Thurman, charged with horse
stealing, which was set for trial Friday,
was continued until next term. Thur
man furnished bonds, and is at liberty.
About 12:30 Saturday morning at Se
attle a man named Ward cut his wife’s
throat and then his own. She got away
from him and dragged herself to the
nearest house, where she took a board
from the fence and rapped witli it against
the house, being unable to make herBeli
heard otherwise. She was taken inside
and received attention, blit her recovery
is doubtful. Iler husband was dead tn
the bed when a party reached the house.
He was doubtless insane, as he was
a hard wo, king, respectable man and
no trouble was known to exist between
the two.
A railroad foreman named Walker
tells the Seattle Press the following story
of a middle aged woman roaming
through the forrests near Salmon Bay:
Iler hair bung down her back in a dis
hevelled way, all matted and tangled
ami it evidently bad not been combed
or brushed' for months. Iler clothes
were tattered and torn, and her bare
..rms, tanned byaxjxjser, showed signs
of fasting, while her eyes glared at the
men with the ferocity of a tigress at bay.
I he men were overawed by the strange,
wierd creature, w ho showed her glisten
ing teeth in a manner more like a raven
ing wolf than anything human, the
creature gave a piercing shreik when
discovered, and pausing a moment turn
ed, and leaping over a log, sped through
he dense undergrowth ol the forest
with the agility of a deer. The workmen
lost sight of tho wild women. 8he is
p obably some escaped lunatic wander
ing aimlessly in the forest, subsisting
upon roots and berries.
