A TOKEN OF RESPECT.
The Sad Death of Alfonso Sibley And then the footing Commenced
in Earnest.
Brings His Manly Character
There
was
an
element of pathos in the
into Prominence.
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Sibley returned to
the city on Sunday from Forest Grove,
where they had gone a week previous on
account of the sickness and sad death of
their son Alfonso, who was attending
the Forest Grove college. The liereaved
parents keenly feel the loss of their son,
who was a gentlemanly young gentle­
man whom any parents would naturally
feel proud of, hence the sorrow which fol­
lows the death of so promising a young
man. Mrs. Fitzhugh and Miss Stella
Caufield, mother and sister of Mrs. Sib.
ley, accompanied them from the Grove.
Mrs. Sibley is quite prostrated with grief.
The death of Alfonso Sibley calls for
more than a passing comment. He was
born at Astoria, on the 2nd day of Octo­
ber, 1882. During the next month, his
father, Mr. J. E. Sibley removed to Hob-
sonville, in Tillamook county, where the
remainder of the boy’s life was spent
with the exception of the short time he
remained at Forest Grove. He entered
the school at that place and was be­
ginning his second term when he died
there on Tuesday, February 14th, 1899.
Growing up in a country place, he escaped
the temptations that assail children
raised in a town and came to be a clean
minded, clean limbed, pure sonled young
man. He was possessed of an active
mind, and from very childhood showed
an intelligence and discrimination that
promised a future of great usefulness and
prominence. Under the solicituous and
painstaking care of his mother, he had

College received an education such as has
before this equip|>ed many men for
careers of usefulness and of distinction.
Looking back his most intimate ac­
quaintance can not recall a fault nor
hardly an imperfection in one whom
Nature had east in a flawless mould.
Brave, unassuming, resourceful and
always with a cheery smile, and a
straight look into every man's eye there
was no one who knowing him failed to
love him.
It is the death of such as he that causes
humanity to question whether there can
lie any “Divinity which shapes our
ends,” but rather to conclude that our
“ Destiny drives us together.
Like deer in a pass of the hills;
Above us the sky, and around us
The sound and the shot that kills.”
This much we do know; the world has
lost a worker, and " It must follow ah
the night to-day.” a worthy and a use­
ful one; we have lost our friend ; his

closing scenes of the legislative session
in the house. The hour for adjournment
fixed bv joint resolution had arrived, but
the enrollment of the special appropria­
tion b; 11, the consideration of which by a
joint conference committee had pro­
longed the session one day, had not yet
been completed. There was no more
business to do other than that of receiv­
ing the appropriation bill and the
speaker affixing his signature to it.
Most of the members had their over­
coats on and were ready to go. Their
ink wells, waste paper baskets, spittoons
and writing pads were snugly bundled
up. Some wag had even carefully
wrapped up the desk and chair of Repre­
sentative Fordney, of Wallowa county,
and affixed the member's name to the
furniture in large and conspicuous let­
ters.
Fordney was called upon for a speech,
but, as he refused to respond, he was
made the target of wads of paper thrown
at him from every corner of the house.
Next Virtue was called upon fora discus­
sion of the clerkship abuse, but as he had
received enough abuse for taking an extra
clerk under his wing already, he, too, re­
fused to respond. No one seemed to be
in a humor to wate time on words.
Music was suggested. This struck the
popular chord, and soon the entire house
was joining in the chorus of “My Old
Kentucky Home,” Calendar Clerk Dave
Mackie singing the verses as solos. There
was considerable pathos in this rendition
of the pathetic ballad on the eve of ad­
journment and separation. The session
closed with the singing of “America,”
under the leadership of Assistant Chief
Clerk Snyder, and three rousing cheers
for Speaker Carter.
Of Speaker Carter it must be said he
made one of the liest sjieakers the lower
house of the Oregon legislature has ever
had. He treated all with kindness and
courtesy, and discharged the duties of his
office without fear or favor. He won the
confidence and respect of every member
and when the hour for adjournment ar­
rived, every man in the house was his
warm friend.
The disgraceful looting of the legisla­
tive halls was again in evidence upon the
last day of the session. What plunder
the members did not want themselves
was taken by committee clerks and
others, who had no more right to it than
the Filipinos. One clerk, who came to
Portland on the special train Saturday
night, was loaded down with enough
waste paper baskets, clips, writing pads
and ink wells to make a respectable load
for a dray, and yet he struggled under
the burden with the consciousness of
having done his duty.
