From Shame to Suicide.
Dora Blako the portly demi-monde
who conducted a house of 111 fame
near the Clicmckcte and just back
of Fisher's livery stable, is dead.
Sho committed suicide by the mor
phine route. Saturday evening she
took eightor ten grains of the fatal
drug and died on Sunday morning,
after a night of wild dolerium. Few
words are devoted to her. Tho mor
al is peinted: tho wages of sin is
death. Her life of shame became
to her a burden and she hud not the
courage to live it out. She is gono
to a grave over which there will bo
fow to mourn. Once sho was hon
ored and respected, perhaps, but her
steps were confined in the broad
path so long that death Is acceptable.
Sho lias been dead to all save shame
so long that tho fleeting of the spirit
and tho casting away of tho earthly
robo aro scarcely noted. Tho coro
ner's inquest resulted In tho return
ing of a verdict of "death by her" her
own hands."
Tn the absonce of1 Coroner Byland

The true name of tho woman was
Laura A. Thompson and she was
about thirty years of age.

Some Jtore Herniations.
At their last meetlng.among other
things, tho Hillsboro Grange em
phatically resolved as follews: That
wo arc not in favor of tho purchase
by tho State of Oregon, of tho canal
and locks at tho falls of tho Will
amette river at Oregon City, but in
sist that legislation should be had at
this session of the legislature look
log to lowering of tho rates of toll
for (ho parage of persons and
property through Sald' locks, and
such management of the same as
shall, after the first of January, 1890,
make tho Willamette a tree river.
That we demand tho following re-
foims : An ammendment to tue
constitution of tho United States
prodding for tho election of United
States senators by direct vote of tho
people of tho several states. That
each money order postofuco in tuo
United States shall be made a sav
ings bank. That the national gov
cmmejlt shall establish a postal
telegraph system. That this Grange
isonnosed to tho appropriation of
any more of tho fund set apart for
the state agricultural college at Cor
vallls while the title or tho same is
in doubt, and while tho school re
mains under sectarian control, and
while tho board of regents aro not
practical farmers. That in our
opinion tho present farm of 30 acres
is two small for the u'so of the
students of such an instltutiou, 100
acres being tho least amount or land
requisite for the purpose, in giving
the students a practical Knowledge
of agricultural industries.
Cut Ills E;e Out.
M. Yoder arrived in tho city
last night from his homo near
Woodburn. bringing with him a
young son who is suffering untold
agonies, tho result of an accident
that happened him. Tho boy Is but
seven years of ago, and ono day
about a month ago lie was cutting a
stick with a kuifo, holding the
st'ck in front of and drawing tho
knifo toward himself, when tho
blado slipped aud was driven Into
ills eye. Since that time tho boy
has been In great agony and to-day
liis father is hero to have a careful
examination of tho eye made. It is
thought tho pupil is lost, as the
knife could not very easily have
missed it. Tho right oyo Is tho ono
injured aud tho left ono is so weak
from irritation that unless some
thing is dono at onco Mr. Yoder
fears tho sight of It will als6 bo lost.
Mr. Yoder Is a recent arrival in
Oregon, having readied tho state iu
November. Ho is from Missouri
and is a brother of our county super
intendent of schools.
Cootldence In Salem.
From tho Increased number of
deals In dirt, tho rapid appreciation
of values, tho establishment weekly
of soveral business firms in our
midst and tho largo number of new
pcoplo who aro ariivingand making
their homes among us it would seem
that a goneral conlldeuco is inspired
Into all as regards tho future pros
perity of the capital city. This is
llatterlng, for In no way does a city
push forward moro rapidly than
when all aro working for tho same
end. Wo aro all striving to assist
In tho-rapld upbuilding of our city
and already aro tho results or our
unltqd efforts nuido manifest. There
is no boom here. In fact none is
wanted. But tho truth Is impress
ed upon us tliata spirit of activity
is upon us. Tho moss Is being scrap
ed ofl'and tho capital city " has a
wiggle on her," so to speak.

Jurap-off-Joe, the name of a stream
in Southern Oregon, received its
name fro-i tho trapper, McLeod,
who led tho first white expedition
overland to California in 1832. They
camned one night on this stream,
but Joe McLoughlln, who was out
hunting did not como in until after
dark, and, not knowing that the
camp was on a bluff, he stepped
over tho c Jge of It in tho darkness,
and fell ouite a distance below. Ho
received injuries that could not be
cured, and died in a few years, but
from this circumstance tho creek re
ceived its name.
