Messrs. Cooke & Churchill, two of
the sufl'erers by the Agricultural
Works fire have the frame work of
a building up, and the roof almost
shingled, for anew sash and door
factory, just over the race on the
south side of the agricultural build
ing ruins. They will not finish the
building, nor even weather-board it
until they get the machinery in po
sition. They have received some of
their new machinery and the re
mainder will bo here on Monday
evening, except one piece which had
to be ordered from the East. They
expect to get to running either on

Commencement at Gervais.
On Thursday, June 28, at 7:30
p.m. the commencement exercises
at St. Scholastica's convent school
will take place. On the preceding
Fnday the pupils will be examined
in their respective studies. The
school has had a largo and steady
attendance throughout thescholastic
year. A highly interesting pro
gram will bo presented on the oc
casion. Overran With Thistles.
Unless the writer is greatly mis
taken, thero is an ordinance on the
city statute books requiring all prop
erty owners to cut down thistles on
their property, and tho street super
visor to do the same in the public
streets. Tho street and adjacent
property, botween Front and Water
streets, on Union, is becoming badly
grown over by thistles, and they
should be attended to.
Napoleon Davis Returns.
Hon. Xnpoleon Davis, delegate
from Oregon to tho St. Louis con

the rest of the Oregon delegation at
St. Louis, was completely thunder
struck nt the "result in Oregon,"
and it required a good deal of his
spare time while thero to "explain"

how it all came about.

WHERE IS OREGON?
A Question for tho Board of Trade to
Answer. A "Greengrocer" in
Cincinnati.
The writer is in receipt of a letter
from Maj. "Win. Manning, of Cau
yonville, this state, who with his
wife and son, is on a tour of the
eastern states. The letter is written
from Jonesboro, Tennessee, where
they are visiting friends.
In the course of his letter he tells
the following story, which, he truly
says, should show to our board of
trade the first question to be answer
ed by them. "While in Cincinnati,
where they remained several days,
they passed bytho store of a green
grocer, in whose stock some large
watermelons from the south nttracted
their attention. Stopping to enquire
where tho melons were from, a short
chat ensued, which showed plainly
that tho major was not a Cincinnat
iau, or even a resident of Ohio, aud
caused the inquisitive greengrocer
to enquire from whence tho party
hailed.
"We are from Oregon," was con
fidently responded, when to the as
tonishment of the visitors to "Pork
opolis," with a look as blank as n
sheet of plain white paper, the
aforesaid "gg" asked: "Well,
Where's Oregon?"
Now it is evident that fellow was
a "greengrocer" in more senses of
the word than one. On being in
formed as to tho exact segment in
the earth's circumference which
constituted our grand and glorious
state, the aforesaid greengrocer re
marked that he had been in Cali
fornia. And such it is to bo a great and
prolific state!
Thisgreen grocer can bo found
about three blocks from the west
end of the great suspension bridge,
in Cincinnati if any one doubts his
existence.
Therefore tho question which
must bo answered by the board of
trade and advertising committe0
first, is, "Where is Oregon?"
A Speculation Party.
Last evening, Mr. and Mrs. A. T,
Gilbert entertained a number of
their friends at their elegant resi
dence on Water and Main streets, in
honor of Mr. A. E. Holgate, of Day

close, aud tho discussion of tho
usual delightful refreshments, danc
ing was indulged in until a late
hour. There were present: Mr. and
Mrs. A. T. Gilbert, Dr. and Mrs.
J. N. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. J. M.

Miss Parrlsh in New York.

Sho does not think of returning
to Oregon soon, as she thinks some

in Grand Rapids, and has recolved
many complimentary notices by tho

PRISONER SHOT.
Guard Whitley Shoots and Kills Win.
Mansfield, a Prisoner at the
Penitentiary.
This morning after the hours for
work had arrived, and whllo the
prisoners in tho state poultontiary
were quietly pursuing their daily
duties, William Mansfield, a prisoner
and a desperate character, entered
the chapel from tho yard, and on
being asked what was wanted i
declared that ho wasn't colnc to
work any longer. He was told by
tne guard iu the chapel that he
would have to co to work, that such
conduct could not be allowed. Mans
field said ho did not care, that ho
wasn't going to work, aud that was
all thero was of it. The warden
then called in Guard Whitlow who
was ordered to arrest Mansfield.
Mausfield stood at bay, rcfusiuc to
surrender, remarking, "I'll kill you,
g d d n you, if you touch me."
Warden Whitlev then nolnted his
gun at Mansfield ordering him to
tnrow up tils hands, saying that he
was disobeying all rules of the in
stitution, and that his entire action
was mutinous.
Mansfield said, "I know it. and
don't give a g d d n if it is."
Ho was airain ordered to throw un
his hands, but ho only dared tho
guard to shoot him.
After a little further deliberation,
the cuard steadilv nolnted his cun
at Mansfield, who showed no signs
of surrender, saw that further wait
ing or kindness toward Mansfield
was only inimical to good order,
pulled the trigger a Hash, and
Mansfiold dropped to the iloor, dead.
News of the shootlnsr was im
mediately sent to Sheritr Miuto and
Justice O'Donald and tho latter
summoned a jury, and went out to
investigate tho case. At this hour
they have not returued.
Mansfield was the worst char
acter confined in theprisou,xrobably,
and was one of tho leaders iu tho
famous prison break of 1883. Ho
was indicted then for murder in the
first degree, along with one Smith,
another of tho leaders of that break,
but they saved themselves on a flaw
in the papers, orsomething,in court.
The case was tested against Smith,
and on tho failure to convict him,
tho case against Mansfield was not
prosecuted.
Ho has murdered several persons
in Eastern Oregon, and when
searched this morning, after being
killed, a long butcher knifo was
found in his right sleeve. It is evi
dent now, as it was to tho guard
then, it was either the life of tho
prisoner had to bo taken, or ho
would have killed a guard.
Whitley, tho guard who killed tho
prisoner, is a Polk county man, nnd
his father and brother were killed
by Til Glaze, at Dallas, In 1878.
Every person who lived hero at
that tlmo remembers this famous
shooting, nnd will readily recnll the
son who is now the guard at the
penitentiary.
