FOUL CRIME AT SPOKANE. Spohane Ealls, Jan. 24. Tbe Baer case, which has been tbe ruling topic of conversation here ever since the mur.ler, was temporarily forgotten when another sensation wag developed. Some time since Maggie Wilson, keepor of a notorious bouse in this city, visited tne Indian reservation near Lewiston, Idaho, and select) ug a strikingly handsome and balf-bree- d girl aged 14 years, brought ber to tbis city, promts ins her a home in a respectable family, On arriving here she tried to force tbe girl to lead a life of shame, but tbe girl firmly refused. Finally, finding that force would be necessary, the Wilson woman held the poor girl while a man outraged ber last night. The Wilson woman has been arrested and denied bail. A man named George Preston was arrested to nigbt for participating in the crime, but says he knows nothing about it. RUNNING THE CENTRAL BLOCKADE, San Francisco, Jan. 83.

Jenmcga, a .New York journalist, who came to meet Nellie Bly, gave out and wanted to ljo down in the snow Tbey had to drag him along, and con stantly aroused him to do his best.

They came from Nebraska. Mrs. Meyers is lying danger- ously ill bere, being prostrated owing to ber husband's death. Tbe report of tbe death of Adam Roth- - rock proved untrue. He is still alive, with good chances of recovery. Tbe coroner's lury returned a verdict of justifiable homicide in tbe Barry- - Davidson tragedy near Weston. REGARDLESS OF HIS MORALS. Seattle, Jan. 24. Quite a sensation was .caused by tbe elopement and marriage of Kate Tewksbury, daugh- ter of Rev. George A. Tewksbury, pastor of the Congregational church. Rev.

Cannon were fired in Battery park and Fort Greene park in honor of the event. At 4:15 the carriages of Miss Bly and party arrived at the World office.

Tbe name she nses is not ber own. She came to New York trout Pittsburg, where she was known as Elizabeth Cocbtan.

The following was given to the press tbis evening "The sympathy of friends has teen so generously extended to Mr. and Mrs. Blaine in tbe great grief which has be fallen their household, that they are un able to make a personal response to each. Ibey beg, therefore, that this public recognition be accepted as a very grate- ful acknowledgment of the kindness which has been most helpful through tbe first days of their irreparable loss. HORSEWHIPPED BY A WOMAN. Spokane Falls, Jan. 25. A lively sensation was created on Riverside avenue to-ds- y by tbe spectacle of a well and fashionably-dress- ed woman horsewhip- ping a man. Tbe woman was Mrs Love, aa employe of a leading dry goods house here, and tbe object of ber wrath was R. S. Nelson, Tbe latter ran in a half stoop- ing position, but tbe woman was fleet- - footed, and followed her quarry with a persistence that was highly entertaining for the crowd. Nelson bad been annoy- ing Mrs. Love with his intentions, and this afternoon she swore out a warrant for his arrest. He eluded the officers and searched out tbe woman who developed her own means of protection. Nelson had just been released from tbe county jail for stealing a watch. MRS. PARNELL ALMOST STARVING. Bordentown, N. J. Jan. 25. The sum of money recently given Mrs. Parnell, mother of Charles Stewart Parnell, by her friends in America to enable ber to meet tbe demands made upon ber bv creditors, was insufficient, and she is now again penniless.

The mystery surrounding tbe disappearance ' of the banker Joseph Dittman, wbo was last seen alive December 11th last was cleared up to day by the finding ot bis decom- posed body floating in tbe Schuylkill river, la a wallet in tbe inside pocket of tbe coat, besides some papers was a card requesting the finder in case of accidental death to notify tbe secretary of the Mutual Accident Association of .New xork, un the afternoon of December 11 Dittmnn started ont for a drive. About dusk the Park guard found tbe horse and buggy in Fairmount park, the vehicle being empty. The first impression was thrre bad been a runaway and the banker thrown from tbe buggy into the water. Dragging of the river, and dynamite also used, failed to bring tbe body to tbe sur- face. When found y there were no marks of violence discernible on the bod v. and whether it was a case of acci dent or suicide will probably never be known. CALIFORNIA IS FLOODED. San Francisco, Jan. 26. Tbe snow blockade on the Central Pacific and Cali fornia & Oregon railroads is still on. In general the rain and snow storms in the northern portion of California have ceased, but whether or not the pleasant weather will last until the blockade is raised, cannot be foretold. The warm rain that has fallen in northern points is shifting southward, but the storm is much less violent, and the amount of snow melted on the mountains is there fore less. dr. peter's safety confirmed.

The passenger train on the Monon route which left Chi- cago Sunday night at 11 :55 was wrecked at 7:50. o'clock this morning one mile above Carme!. The tender jumped the track. Tbe engineer reversed tbe engine, but before the air brakes could stop tbe train the locomotive and baggage car cleared the trestle. A sleeper and the smoking coach went over into tbe creek, both taking fire almost immediately, and being consumed in a remarkably short time. Tbe killed were six in number; Mrs. Nellie Eubank, Broad Ripple. Ind; C. O. Deming, FraukiortJInd; Mrs. D. S. Old- ham's twin children, Sbendan, Ind., Miss Mary Hoover, Horton ; Mrs Hattie Hen- - s'ey, Cyclone, Ind. Tbe following were injured: M.

ONE HUNDRED MILES YET TO CLEAR Sisson, Cal., Jan. 27. A strong south wind blew to day, indicating a renewal ol the storm. Tbe sun was shinning oc- casionally, while snow fell in tbe sur- rounding mountains. Tbe railroad shows no improvement, and is in a worse condition than a week ago. Two cyclone snowplows would work wonders. Tbe two plows working still remain where tbey were a week ago. Tbe snow is thaw ing in the day time and freezing at nigbt. This makes tbe mass very compact, ren- dering removal difficult. Tbe enormity of work may be realized when it is stated that there are over 100 miles of truck to clear. THE SOUTH DAKOTA HUNGER. Chicago, Jan. 27. The reports of des titution in South Dakota, resulting from crop failures, were further confirmed to- day by interviews with three railway of- ficials who are in a position to know the facts. They are R. C. H. Knapp. C. E Simoqs and F. It. Crandoj of tbe North western railway. According to tbeir story a majority of tbe sufferers are in a strip of country fifty miles wide and extending on both sides of the railroad from Uawar- - den to Aberdeen.

INCENDIARISM IN TACOMA. Taccma, Jan. 27. What is thought to have been an incendiary alterant to burn down the large frame building situated at South K and Fourth streets, was made last evening. The building is two stones high, and cost $2500. There is a email grocery in the corner, and the rest of tbe building is occupied by a family named Daily, who keep boarders. About 5 :30 two of the boarders discovered a fire in the garret. Water was brought in pails, and the fire quickly put out. . After the fire was extinguished, there was found in tbe garret a long split open at one end. A piece of paper was wedged in tbe slit thus made, and the paper had been on fire. A few feet away lrom the stick, was a small armful ot excelsior, saturated with coal oil. The exact object of tbe incen- diary in firing the house is unknown. It was not the first attempt to burn down tbe house. Kodaking .Before Hhooting-- . Livermore Falls special to Boston Her aid: Mr. Osgood Plummer, of Worcester, MasSq has visited Maine seven hunting seasons for moose, without being sucess-f- ul in his efforts to bring down one of these kings of the forest. At tbe close of his last trip he left for borne grately dis- couraged, but made the remark that be would give $100 for a good chance to kill a moose. Mr. Plummer was thereupon told by his guide to remain at bis borne until be heard from tbe bunting section, and then to come on and he would get to bag his game. This season he was notified by the guide to come to Eustis, which he lmme-mediatel- y did, there meeting Guides Augustus Douglass and Otis Witbam, of Eustis, and tbe party started for Kibby stream camp, twenty miles distant in the wilderness. Ou tbeir arrival the guides struck ont in quest of that moose, and finding tracks followed them until tbey bad located tbe prize, when tbey notified Mr. Plummer, wbo jrined in the chase. After a run they came in sight of a large and tine specimen ot tbe bull moose. Mr. Plummer, who came prepared for the occasion, took lrom his pocket a small camera and took the picture of tbe animal as be stood snd then shot him. Tbe gamo weighed over 1,000 pounds, end as a trophy of his sucessful trip Mr. Plum- mer b&s one of tbe finest sets of moose antlers ever taken from a Maine forest. tetoelt Tarsed Oat to Die. East Oiegonian. Tbe largest ranches of Klamath county, Or., and Siskiyou county, CaL, are those of Jesse D. Carr, about Clear lake, and Dorris, of Butte creek valley, Cal. Owing to the unusual dry season of 1SS9, they put op much less hay than usual from their meadow land, and the deep snows of tbis winter will cause tbem heayy losses. It is re- ported by the Ashland Tidings that Carr has turned ont about 5000 head, aud Dorris about 4000 head to shift for them selves in the deep snow live on browse if they can, or die it tbey mast, l ney eacn have some hay at tbeir ranches, of course, bat will need it all to winter their im- proved Shorthorns and other valuable stock. Carr, Dorris and some other ranch era are offering to give half the cattle win tered through to any one who will leea them. In most portions of Klamath county the majority of the ranchers will have hay enough to save the greater portion of their cattle if the snow should not remain too Ions. In Spraeue River valley tbe hay stacks are biggest in proportion of the num ber of cattle to be ted, as usual. In tbis valley tbe range cattle business is carried on, on a much smaller scale, but the drouth of last summer has left many iar men and ranchers with less hay than usual, just when they need more than usual. Moat ot theuj will be able to buy what is necessary, however, to save their stock. letters Advertised. The following is the list of letters re- maining in.

Tbe first snow fell on the 12th of Decem ber, and siuce that date forty-on- e inches of the congealed element have fallen. cbinook wiDd has been blowing in the upper atmosphere y, and the effects are discernible in the anow melting and de- creasing in quantity. A daily mail service was established be tween this city and Uoldendale on the 23d. This is something desired for a long time by tne people ot tuis city. The mails from San Francisco wjs re ceived by steamer and came np on No. 2 last nigbt. Xbc Southern Pacific is having the hardest fight with the elements, and it is far from being conqueror yet. Vancouver Jiaister: An exchange says: Walla Walla paid the Oreaonian $300 for the single insertion of a full page advertise- ment." Cities and towns make a mistake in not spending tbeir advertising money with tbo home papers. Give your home papers the money. It will go a long way farther and it loots better to the outside world. In commenting on tbe suggestion made in these columns that oar capitalists, by offering a bonus, attempt to direct the rail- road from North Yakima to Vancouver via Klickitat county to The Dalles, the Klicki- tat Sentinel says: "The people of Golden-dal- e will meet any such proposition fully half wav, and may be depended upon to do everything in het power to aid such an en- terprise." Lake Chelan is the largest body of fresh water in the state of Washington. It cov- ers about an era of sixty-fiv- e square miles and its average width is a mile and a half. A beautifnl townsite overlooking tbe lake has just been located at a point on the Chelan river near its outlet. Lake Chelan is becoming a famous rendezvous for tourists to this part of tbe country. It is in Oka- nogan county. There is a deadlock in The Dalles city council on the choice of a councilman to fill the yacancy caused by the death of Mr. Tillotsou. Tbe cause for this seems to binge on one point; that of opening Court street through to the Independence road. Oregonian. Our esteemed cctemporary intended Dallas in Polk county, and not The Dalles. There has been no "dead- lock" in our council, by reason of the death of Mr. Tillotson or other cause. Sentinel: We have it on pretty good authority that a proposition will soon be made to the people of Klickitat county by a responsible company to build a railroad from Camas Prairie through the county to an intersection with the Northern Pacific on our east, for a small bonus; the bonus to be given in the shape of notes, payable when the road is completed and in operation. Goldendale will be the junction of several roads if those no in contemplation are built. Tbe Attorian of the 23d gives this aa its calendar of weather for the pieceding day: "At noon yesterday the sky grew heavy, and gray aud qniet; a huge bank of livid lowering cloud obscured the sun, and slant- ing to the southwest came a shower of large snow flakes falling in creamy masses and obliterating familiar features of the laud-scop- e. Following the fall of snow of two hours' duration came bail, and after the bail came rain, and then clear sky and a setting sun, and then a breeze from the frigid east, and then more rain, and after that a little snow, for variety." The Orting Oracle evidently does not pro- pose to stand any foolishness from this time forth, as indicated in the following pointed item: If at any time anything appear in the Oracle which you imagine is just about your size, and fits you nicely, and you are bent on revenge sure and swift, don't per- mit tbe wind to waft a gentle zephyr through your whortleberry whiskers before you call at the office. Our tombstone edi- tor, although rather a grave sort of an indi- vidual, wilt always be pleased to meet yon and exhibit plan of the choicest plat in the most fashionable cemetery. We have a few monument left. Last summer, says the Eugene Rtgicler, a party of men were engaged in canvassing this county for tbe sale of fanning mills. The party was under tbe charge of H. V. Fuller, the general agent for this section. Among the party was a young man named E. A. Gerald, wbo through hi dishonesty cheated the company he was working for ont of about $474 in Lane county, and it is found that he carried on the same work in Marion county. He withdrew from the employ of the company and went north and all trace of him waa lost before his crime was discovered. Deputy U. S. Marshal V . W. Cochran ha been searching for him for some time and last week he beard be was in Seattle and went np there and caught him. He was then driving a delivery wagon. He was brought .back to this city last Friday evening, and Monday was tried before Just- ice Lakin, on a charge of embezzlement, and bound over to await the action of the grand jury with bail fixed at $480, which he was unable to furnish. Hi method of cheating the company waa by forging notes and keeping money collected while selling the mills. From Monday's Daily. Mrs. Geo. N. Peterson, of Biggs, is in the city. Coasting Satnrday night is said to have been the best of the season. Oar market is stocked with jack rabbit. Some day forty or fifty are brought in on a single aleigh. A slight collision at Umatilla Saturday night demolished a locomotive. No other damage was done. Train from the west bave been on time for tbe past two days, bat eastern mail ha arrived via Portland. A welcome Chinook yesterday lessened the quantity of snow very materially, and made stockmen happy. . Three of the locomotives which were sent to Albina to be repaired have been returned to the shop in this city. The river in front of the city is clear of icv, but it is still jammed at Crate' point, and will be for soveral days yet. Reports from Antelope ay the now is only two inches deep, and that stock is get- ting along aa well as could be expected. The toboggan slide Saturday night was well patronized. The pact was in excellent condition, and every person enjoyed them-selve- s. Work at the company' shops in this city continues brisk, and several of the engine injured in the recent blockade are awaiting repair. Prof. J. D. Robb, for many year a suo-cesf- teacher in Oregon, has been appointed principal of the Indian training school at Chemawa. A party in from Bakeoven tc-d- report stock in fair condition. There is about three inches of snow.and there has not been more than the usual amount of suffering among stock. Waitsburg ha it bad. Hear the rimes: As near a can be ascertained at tbis wri- tinglate Thursday evening, January 23d there bave been 619 case of la grippe in this city so far, nd the end is not yet. W, W. Union: It is reported that a anow torm on tbo Blue mountain ha caused an- other partial blockade. The Spokane Fall train did not arrive Thuraday morning, be- ing detained by a anow blockade near Winona. ' The funeral of Mr. Fred. D. Fargher was i.ralv attended yesterday, lue service Children Cry were held at the Congregational churcb.and Revs. Hutchinson and Curtis had charge of the service. The procession was under charge of Mr. Wm. Michell. undertaker.

They went np to examine the wreck. The verdict was that the deceased came to hi death bv an avoidable accident. During tbe last few days, when the coast ing has been mobt excellent, Mr. P. E, Michell, at the Third street planing mill. has manufactured some of the best sleds on Union street including the "T.-- Spe cial."

Long Creek Eagle: Many have been in quiring regarding the three traders on the Long Creek and Pendleton road who were reported as lost not long since. The article stating that they were badly frozen when touno, is not valid, as they finally made their appearance at tbe camp after several weeas' absence in a sale and sound condi- tion. Gazette, 24th: The latest new from Pyle canyon is that the snow plow ha been straightened np, and a force of a hundred shovelers are at work. The passonger train that has been stuck here for the last three day will put out this afternoon, and a train expected from the west tins evening: mis begin to look, a little more enoour- - Fossil Journal: Thursday this section re raced at tbe breath of the cbinook. which lasted till dark, melted tbe anow off most of the hill leaving about two inches of slush in the valleys. However, it commenced snowing again, and ha fallen about two inches more nearly as much aa the previ ous day's cbinook melted. The weather is very warm. Sheriff Rube Robbina tell the Boise Democrat that twenty-tw- o years ago snow tell to the depth of twenty-seve- n inches vnd it remained good sleighing thirteen weeks; and that John Hailey, proprietor of the stage line, run sleighs between Salt Lake city and The Dalles; in fact mails and passengers were transported the entire dis tance between tbe Missouri and Columbia. Hood River Glazier: Tbe ice house is filled and contain between 4000 and 5000 tons of ice, which will be used next summer to reduce the temperature of the citizens, good and bad, of Portland. Tbe company had a contract to load several hundred cars for the Union and Central Pacific railroad companies, but the blockade made it impos- sible to get the cars, and the employes were discharged. Fossil Journal: J. M. McKinnon was in town tbe latter part of last week, and in- formed us that his sheep were doing well on the John Day above Cfown Rock. There had been but three inches of snow near the river and that had melted off for a mile and a half back, so . that be did not feed bis sheep hay but a few days, but he says ha fed as long as they would eat the hay. The John Day i tbe best winter quarter in Eastern Oregon on account of it being to well sheltered by the high hills on both sides. ' Judge John Lee Logan died at Lewiston, Idabo, on the 15th inst. He was born in Salem, Va., March 6, 1848, and was ad- mitted to the bar at Salem when 21 year old. He then went to New York city, where he worked as a clerk in a lawyer' office for three year and then went into business on his own account. He enjoyed a lucrative practice nntil 1883, when he re- ceived tbe appointment as associate justice of the supreme court of Idaho. He was married to Miss Gertrude Tucker, a daughter of Hon. Randolph Tucker, of Vir- ginia, in 1883. He leave no children. Baker City Blade: Jaa. T. Hixon was in tbe city a few days ago proving np on hi land claim. He informed n that many horse on the range were dying, and it now appeared that the loss would be 60 percent. He stated that in hi opinion nearly all of the cattle that were not being fed would die before spring and that a great many bad already succumbed. This is the most se- vere winter on stock that baa ever occurred in Eastern Oregon. Cattle were in a poor condition wben winter set in, and a there is no grass under the snow, owing to the past dry season, cattle will have to be fed a much longer time than usual. It is indeed a sorry outlook for stockmen. La Grande Gazette: The sheering new that the blockade had been raised had hardly time to become pnblic tbe tint of last week, when another train got stuck in the snow in Pyle' canyon. The centrifugal snow excavator waa sent to it relief, and the next bit of information waa to tbe effect that it bad jumped tbe track ind np to date bad not been straightened around. A gang ot shovelers has been at work in the canyon for the past three days, and a the two other snow plow are in the shops, the prospects of another train from the east are not very encouraging. Tbe road west of La Grande is also in bad shape on account of slides and there is no telling how long it will be before trains from either direction are running regularly. Baker City Reveille: Died in this city, January 14, 1890, of pneumonia, W. N. Knabe, aged 33 years. The deceased had only recently arnved in this section, and when taken sick last Thursday was making bis first trip a railway mail clerk on the Green river and Huntington route. Hi wife and mother, who reside in Cheyenne, were notided by telegraph of hi illness Monday, but no answer had been received from tbem np to yesterday evening when tbe new of bis death was forwarded. Dar- ing hi brief illness tbe nnfoitunate man was kindly cared tor at tbe residence of Mr. J. H. Sbinn, where in addition to tb best of medical attendance he was awarded all tbe comforts of a home thst is possible to bestow upon a stranger in a strange land. Exchange: The columns of a paper are a publisher's stock in trade, and tbe parties who ask to use them for their special bene- fit should expect to pay for the same. Every publio spirited citizen should bave a pride iu seeing his town and surroundings improved; every new house, every road, every new manufacturing establishment erected, every new business enhances the value of property in our midst Every re- flecting miud know this to be true, and it should not be forgotten that tbe local news-pap- er adds much to tbe general wealth and prosperity of the place, as well as increses the reputation of the town abroad.

Jones, of Emigrant, was returning from the Prairie Queen Roller Mill to bis home on Thursday, the 10th inst.,-a- n incident occurred which nearly cost him hia life. In going to the mill he found the road drifted full of anow, just above the mill perhaps 80 rods; but he managed to get through in safety. How- ever, on hi return, he was aatiated by Mr. A. Spengler, th miller, but in the above-mention- place hi team became unman- ageable and went off the embankment to the bottom of the canyon, a distance of about two hundred feet, precipitating over each other several time in making the descent.

Hamlet Capital Journal, Salsm, Jan. tl, 189a Last evening the opera bouse was occu- pied by Daniel E. Bandmann, tbe eminent tragedian, and his festival company, in Hamlet, a Shakespearean tragedy. Those who failed to be present can 1 assured that tbey bave failed to witness one of the finest actors that has ever visited the Paoifio coast. Bandmann is supported by an able number of ladies and gentlemen, and those present last eyening were held in intense attention from the me that the curtain was drawn aside nntil the last word was spoken. In listening to the grand prodne. tion last evening one was reminded of what Hazhtt aays: "This is the Hamlet, the Dan whom we read of in our youth, and whom we seem almost to remember in our after years; he wbo made that famous soliloquy on life, who gave the advice to the players, wbo thought 'this goodly frame, the earth. a atenle promontory, and this brow, firmanent, tbe air, this majeatical roof, fretted with golden fin, a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors;' whom man delighted not. nor woman neither:' ha who talked with the Brave-dicore- and mor alized on Yorick's skull; the schoolfellow of Rosencrantz and Giuldenstern at Witten berg; tbe friend of Horatio: tbe lover of Ophelia; he that waa mad and was sent to England and the slow avenger of bis father's death." Tbe critics have been greatly di- vided in regard to Shakespearea intent in this tragedy and character. Hazhtt says "it u not a character marked bv strength of passion or will, but by rebuement of thought and feeling." The playing last evening waa of a most striking character. The scene at the graveyard where Hamlet, accompanied by his friend Horatio, came in contact with the grave-digger- s, was grand, but still more sublime waa it where the body of tbe beautiful Ophelia waa slowly lowered into the cold and silent tomb. Space will forbid any further mention xtt this grand work of Shakespeare, but auffioa it to say that Daniel E. Bandmann and hi wherever they may appear.

Eorroa In a recent issue of your paper you aaid no report ot Chautauqua circle had been given you for publication. Tbe meetings being free from any charge or password, the Cs have probably felt that all who were interested in tbem or their work would be acquainted with it. either diractlv or as visitors. If any are so situated that they wish to be present and cannot, they may like to know that tbe meet- ings are usually well attended. Not quite the interest we would like to see but it might well be worse. Beside the regular course of reading, some original paper have been prepared, showing some very good work. Without access to the record now, we recall the following topic which have been assigned to different members of the circle, and eisays upon tbem read tinoe the year s work begun: "Current oivent ot tbe Year," "Domestic Life of the Romans," Christina," "The Siege of Troy," "What tbe Citizen owe to the State," "Method of Study in History," were presented by- - Mr. Thompson, Mis Cooper, Mis Frazer. Mr. Brooks, Mrs. Sampson and Mr. Mel lette. Topic for the next evening are Historical Outline of certain Revolutions, Our Own, from British Rule to Our Repub- lic, the French Revolution, that of Norway, the Unification of Germany, the Protector- ate of Oliver Cromwell, Rome from Repub- lic to Empire, Italy from Subordinate Province to a United Kingdom, Brazil from Empire to Republic The circle will meet Tuesday Jan. 28th at Mrs. Wilson's ou Union street. It may be well for mem bers and visitors who bave coasting on tbeir minds to remember the hour of meeting is 7:30 P. M., and the president will call tbe meeting to work whether member are punctual or not. C. A' Herole Wnsaa. I.l.fct n.mi.Ml . On Tuesday of thi week a painter of tbi citv named Keaaler indneed two btroa resid ing near the mouth of Mora creek, to ac company him on a hunt on King hilL where the day before he had killed a deer. Tbe name of the boy were Silas. Sandlia and ' Jimmy Percy, tbo latter but fourteen year of age. During the hunt Keasler selected a point where be desired tbe boy to remain until he came for them again, but not mak- ing hi appearance, the boy started for home taking with them a pony that Keas- ler had left with them belonging to Jake Myers. xoung .Percy gave out when within two mile of Oliver Call' house, while Sandlin proceeded on and told what had transpired to Mrs. Call. She forthwku mounted tbe hone, then 10 o'clock at nig lit. came to where the boy was lying in tbe now, and placing bim on th bone packed him to ber house where aha used all the remedies in her power to restore him. Mr. Call was away from home. Th boy' feet and hand were badly frozen and bis back waa blistered. Amputation of some of hi toe and perhaps portion of both feet may be necessary. He will be brought to town on a sled so that medical attend ance may be promptly rendered. A Had Kveat. Locallser. A sad affair occurred in the Banner res taurant, on Third street last Monday. The inmate of the bouse were startled at S 'clock, the morning named above, by tb report of a gun in the bedroom occupied by the two daughter of the house, Tina and Mamie Blocker. Mr. Clone (the girls' tep-- father) and wife hastened into the room and found Tina, the elder daughter, lying upon tbe floor, and near her a target rifle. Blood was pounng from a wound in her right side. She had barely strength to articulate, "1 m not, ere consciousness forsook her, and abe remained thus until death ensued, at 6 o'clock that evening. Aa inquest was held at the scene of tbe shooting, but as the unfortunate girl died without speaking it was dithcult to eeotde whether her death was accidental or the re- sult of her own act. It is rumored that hex tep-fatb- her, and many think he was thus driven to suicide. Clone ad- mitted that he struck ber a few minutes previous to the tragedy. Tbe jury, how- ever, returned a verdict of accidental death. Tina Butler Blocker, nieos of Senator But'er, of South Carolina, was 17 year of age, comely in appearance and much es teemed by ber acquaintances, one was appointed postmistress at Oilman, King county, this state, a few weeks ago, bat her parenta objected to her accepting the place and she gave it np. Btarviaar cattle. Bolt Statesman. "Rube' Short, a well known farmer o! Boise valley, was in the city He says that he aaw yesterday on th sage plain between Nampa and Boise large herd ol starving cattle. Between Five Mile creek and the Boise river there are at least 400 head of cattle, nearly the entire number are in a starving condition. He aays that the greater number of these cattle are branded F F; thi being th well-know- n brand of James Wilson, one of tbe wealthy men of Bois J valley and the largest tookowner in thi aection of the country. "Rube" ay that he is not easily moved to complain, but that th eight of thee poor starving an- imal made him wish that something could be don to provide for tbem. Surely, it th owner or owner knew where their prop- erty could be found in this condition they wonld gather them in and feed tbem or if nnable to do thia they would kill them and thos end tbeir sufferings. Such a state of thing is a standing reproach to th coon-tr-y, and every one ahould feel the necessity of finding some remedy legal or otherwise to put an end to it.

tetoelt Tarsed Oat to Die.East Oiegonian.

Tbe largest ranches of Klamath county,Or., and Siskiyou county, CaL, are those ofJesse D. Carr, about Clear lake, and Dorris,of Butte creek valley, Cal. Owing to theunusual dry season of 1SS9, they put opmuch less hay than usual from their meadowland, and the deep snows of tbis winterwill cause tbem heayy losses. It is re-

ported by the Ashland Tidings that Carrhas turned ont about 5000 head, aud Dorrisabout 4000 head to shift for themselves in the deep snow live on browse ifthey can, or die it tbey mast, l ney eacnhave some hay at tbeir ranches, of course,bat will need it all to winter their im-

proved Shorthorns and other valuablestock. Carr, Dorris and some other ranchera are offering to give half the cattle wintered through to any one who will leeathem.

In most portions of Klamath county themajority of the ranchers will have hayenough to save the greater portion of theircattle if the snow should not remain tooIons. In Spraeue River valley tbe haystacks are biggest in proportion of the number of cattle to be ted, as usual.

In tbis valley tbe range cattle business iscarried on, on a much smaller scale, but thedrouth of last summer has left many iarmen and ranchers with less hay than usual,just when they need more than usual.Moat ot theuj will be able to buy what isnecessary, however, to save their stock.

Vancouver Jiaister: An exchange says:Walla Walla paid the Oreaonian $300 for

the single insertion of a full page advertise-ment." Cities and towns make a mistakein not spending tbeir advertising moneywith tbo home papers. Give your homepapers the money. It will go a long wayfarther and it loots better to the outsideworld.

In commenting on tbe suggestion madein these columns that oar capitalists, byoffering a bonus, attempt to direct the rail-road from North Yakima to Vancouver viaKlickitat county to The Dalles, the Klicki-tat Sentinel says: "The people of Golden-dal- e

intended Dallas in Polk county, andnot The Dalles. There has been no "dead-lock" in our council, by reason of the deathof Mr. Tillotson or other cause.

Sentinel: We have it on pretty goodauthority that a proposition will soon bemade to the people of Klickitat county bya responsible company to build a railroadfrom Camas Prairie through the county toan intersection with the Northern Pacificon our east, for a small bonus; the bonus tobe given in the shape of notes, payable whenthe road is completed and in operation.Goldendale will be the junction of severalroads if those no in contemplation arebuilt.

Tbe Attorian of the 23d gives this aa itscalendar of weather for the pieceding day:"At noon yesterday the sky grew heavy,and gray aud qniet; a huge bank of lividlowering cloud obscured the sun, and slant-ing to the southwest came a shower of largesnow flakes falling in creamy masses andobliterating familiar features of the laud-scop- e.

Following the fall of snow of twohours' duration came bail, and after the bailcame rain, and then clear sky and a settingsun, and then a breeze from the frigid east,and then more rain, and after that a littlesnow, for variety."

V.Fuller, the general agent for this section.Among the party was a young man namedE. A. Gerald, wbo through hi dishonestycheated the company he was working foront of about $474 in Lane county, and it isfound that he carried on the same work inMarion county. He withdrew from theemploy of the company and went north andall trace of him waa lost before his crimewas discovered. Deputy U. S. Marshal V .W. Cochran ha been searching for him forsome time and last week he beard be was inSeattle and went np there and caught him.He was then driving a delivery wagon. Hewas brought .back to this city last Fridayevening, and Monday was tried before Just-ice Lakin, on a charge of embezzlement,and bound over to await the action of thegrand jury with bail fixed at $480, which hewas unable to furnish. Hi method ofcheating the company waa by forging notesand keeping money collected while sellingthe mills.

HamletCapital Journal, Salsm, Jan. tl, 189a

Last evening the opera bouse was occu-

pied by Daniel E. Bandmann, tbe eminenttragedian, and his festival company, inHamlet, a Shakespearean tragedy. Thosewho failed to be present can 1 assuredthat tbey bave failed to witness one of thefinest actors that has ever visited the Paoifiocoast. Bandmann is supported by an ablenumber of ladies and gentlemen, and thosepresent last eyening were held in intenseattention from the me that the curtainwas drawn aside nntil the last word wasspoken. In listening to the grand prodne.tion last evening one was reminded of whatHazhtt aays: "This is the Hamlet, the Danwhom we read of in our youth, and whomwe seem almost to remember in our afteryears; he wbo made that famous soliloquyon life, who gave the advice to the players,wbo thought 'this goodly frame, the earth.a atenle promontory, and this brow,

Tbe critics have been greatly di-vided in regard to Shakespearea intent inthis tragedy and character. Hazhtt says"it u not a character marked bv strengthof passion or will, but by rebuement ofthought and feeling." The playing lastevening waa of a most striking character.The scene at the graveyard where Hamlet,accompanied by his friend Horatio, came incontact with the grave-digger- s, was grand,but still more sublime waa it where thebody of tbe beautiful Ophelia waa slowlylowered into the cold and silent tomb.Space will forbid any further mention xttthis grand work of Shakespeare, but auffioait to say that Daniel E.
