flwyy W3B WSKmmtrir- --- LATE CITY NEWS FOUND By the Reporters on Their Round of ' ihe Town. To the Pen Among the Courts Asylum and Other Notes. Left Considerable Property. R. L. Milster who committed sui cide near Silverton on Sunday of Inst week left considerable property for his family. Yesterday Nancy E Milster nnd jrartiu J. Adams were appointed by the probate court to be co-auministrators or tneestato which is thought to foot up $25,000. The Oregon Fwbjtery. The presbytery of Oregon con vcues to-night at 7:30, at the Prcsby terinn church in this city. The opening sermon will be preached by Ilev. A. Hope of Portland. Already there are many delegates present; the Albany, Ashland, Eu gene and Portland representatives having arrived. The body will re main in session for several days holding their sessions daily. Oregon Alnajs Smiling. That we may better appreciate our own position it may be well to quote a few sentences from a letter from Missouri. Here we always have rain when we need it and sun when it is needed. But in Missouri now they "are having nasty, dry, cold north wind and not a drop of rain since about August 13th. Dust is every where and shoe top deep." How "delicious" our own genial climate is in comparison. Oregon Schools. Prof. McElroy says the school population of Oregon is from 8o,000 to 87,000. This includes all between the age of 4 and 120 years. Of this number there are 68,000 enrolled in the schools with an average attend ance of about 61,000. There are from 3500 to 4000 'more of school ago in the state this year titan last, as a large number of new coiners have "-ettled in Oregon. The increase in the number of those who attend is about 3000 more this year than it was last. Tills is a large increase. Uronth and Deluge Frrdictcd. In Topeka, Kansas, lives Prof. C. ( Blake, who for many years lias most successfully calculated weather beforehand. Mouths before they would occur he has prophecied floods, drouths, and excessive heat or ex treme cold spells. For years wo have noted his warnings and have in variably found him to bo correct. We read his predictions for 18S9 and study them with considerable alarm. He says next summer will be the most fearful one ever known for deluges and drouths. His calculations are all mado from an astronomical basis. He says ho fears a famine and lias twice thrown away all his long care ful calculations covering months and months only to ouco more pick them up and to a third time reach the same conclusion. At The Keed. Last night quite a good audience turned out to hear the Maubury Boyd company in "His Natural Life." Tho caste was strong and throughout the audience was delighted. Bounds of applause fol lowed eacli scene. The play gave a vivid description of convict life among the red coats, and is filled with tragic scenes. As Bichard B-evino Mr. Maubury is a powerful actor and carried his hearers witli him. Inigo Tyrrell, author of the play, ns Josh. Graves, an old and faithful servant, was among tho very best, and the old man fills his part with fun; the part of Rev. North was well sustained as was also that of Maurice but the villain finds no admirers. Nellie Bovd herself is not an actress of power. The company present ''Unknown" to-night and should have a great attendance. In For, Two Years. Yesterday Sheriff Hinshaw of Baker county brought to the peni tentiary Milton Eddy, for a term of two yoara for tho larceny of a horse. During tho tiial his counsel and the attorneys for tho state asked the elemenoy of the court as they bo lioved the rights of sooiety and tho beet interests of tho stato would be bewt hubsorved by Imposing such a sentence as would bo rafomiRtory Many circumstances surrounding thecMse tended to tha belief that the young man was not as guilty as ome persons would make it appear and that ho was. "more binned alnfct than sinning." Tho young nun stundiugboforo judge and Jury, when tuked If he had anything to ay why sentence should not be im posed, wid : I have nothiug to .v, your honor, only that I am iw iKxvnt." And it may be stated "' it t!i.o best acquainted with him 'lki- that he is. CIRCUIT COURT. Proceedings of the OJegnlar October Term.

It lias often and only too truly been said that great calamities and misfortunes never come singly, but are grouped together. It would seem sometimes that a season of ac cidents had full sway. For instance, a few weeks ago, all remember the great number of destructive fires that swept over the towns of this region. Every morning you would pick up the dally paper only to read of a great contlagratioli some where near us. See unfortunate MoMinnvllle depopulated and re tarded by smallpox, disastrous fires break out only too add to tho city's ill luck. Does it not seem asthough deluges and drouths, fires and scourges, murders and suicides oc curred in cycles? One of yesterday's specials noted the circumstance of John Hcuiz of Silverton having reed the account of another Siherton suicide and re marking that he would be tho next to go. Can it bo that the insauo thought of suicide is contagious, too? So it would seem, from tho great number of cases of sejf-destruc-tlon that are noted each week. Let us hope not, and that this phase of insanity has run its sands. Fire the Foot-pads. From Taeoma, Seattlo and Walla Walla, in Washington territory, nnd from numerous cities in Oregon, especially Albany, come complaints of the doings of footpads and thieves of high and low degree. Small burglaries and sneak-thief operat ions have been frequent for several weeks past in Portland, and it looks as if thepolico officers are powerless to check tho evil. There should be a determined and well-directed efi'ort to rid the city and state of thioves, tramps anil footpads, even though It may bo necessary to mortify our sensitive guardians of the peace. Oregonlan. Mallutr'i Assfwrntnt Uoll.

Moody, the great evangelist is expected to pass through hero to-morrow, en route to Victoria. He will stop a, day in Portland, and be tendered a reception at tho taber nacle Wednesday evening. It would seem that Sunday had been set aside as a day of self destruction, two persons in this county having ended their own lives on Sunday of last week and one on Sunday of this. It might not be inappropriate to suggest to thoso folks who secure marriage licenses a few days ahead with the request, "don't let it be published," that a good way to buy the newspaper off is with a dose ot cake, et al. "Unknown" will bo presented next Tuesday evening at Reed's opera house It is not unknown to the people of Salem that S.

McCune, thonged father of young McC'uno who shot Bewly nt Sheri dan during the quarantine, Is still quito ill from the cfi'ects of the wound received. It will be remem bered ho was struck on the head with a rack during tho excitement. The immense dow pumps at the penitentiary, put up by J. A. Mc Carl, engineer of the insane asylum and at the expense of and for the benefit of that institution, were started up to-day and aro working to a charm. They are run by water power.
