INpIANs-SMALL POx.-Quite lit
tie breeze was raised during the week,
owing to the circulation of the report
that the Indians at Siietz had the small
poX, and that there were number of
Indians camped on the outer edge of
the city who were supposed to have
recently came from and belonged to
Siletz. Our city authorities were ap-
pealed. to and we believe did, at once
inform the Superintendent Of Indian
Affairs Of the presence Of these Indians,
and requested their immediate remov-
al. We are informed that the few In-
dians here at present left the agency
before the prevalence of the dreadful
disease, and are therefore free from
the infection. The authorities should
see to 1t that no more Indians are al
lowed to leave tile reservation until
the small pox disappears. Inducing
Indians to return to the reservation,
when they know that small pox pre-
walls there, is almost impossible. ~
there is nothing more dreadful to an
Indian than the small pox.

LETTER PROM HARRIsBURG.-A let
ter from Harrisburg, signed j. c.
Snodgrass, mailed to the Democrat
with request to hand to us if refused
insertion IN its columns, lies before us.
The letter Is devoted to Nesmith's
speech in that place on the 18th. We
have room only for the closing para
graph:
"He denounced the whisky and
avaricious rings in sarcastic vein; /;
said that the whisky traffic demanded
every effort of reform, etc. But just
here Mr.. N. relaxed his dignity in
catering to the car Of the whisky ring;
said that legislation could not, nor
never had, aided moral sua sion in tent
pelance reform, and fed the perverted
passion witha little false and trucking
jest concerning the whimsical prestige
of the State Temperance Convention,
etc. Iregret to thus speak of so worthy
a Democrat. But, sir, | am blind to
the consistency Of this parade about
Reform, while We yet impugn the
most efficient means.

DISTRICT ATToINEY.-0ur candi-
date for District Attorney. Capt. n. B.
Humphrey, is one of the most popular
men IN Linn county, and will doubt
less lead his ticket by many votes. In
the social circle he has few equals; as
a business man he is prompt, honest
and reliable; his ability as lawyer
is uuquestioned, as those who know
him best will vouch, and if elected
and We have no doubt OH this score-
lie will make the most popular and
thorough officer the district has ever
had. Mentally. morally and physical
ly he is far superior to his opponent,
Shaw, and we fully and freely endorse
him as our candidate, and predict His
result in June as certain.

nication from Mr.. SnNlgrass. of this

get him to publicly retract what he
said, In the item above referred to.
and have at last Succeeded In getting
him to agree to send Il statement to
the Democgfa. 10 the effect that he was,
to say the least. too hasty in making
such statements thereby leaving the
public to the belief that Judge Tandy
neither drinks nor CANDLES. But |
think Mr.. SnmlgrlSs will b. too cure
tul Of his reputation to come ont and
say that he believes any such thing.
Eut why do not lIoult and May rise
to explain, y and make IN honorable
showing OF this matter? Will Mcg

he has been known, more tlmn once,
wien he has lost bet, to make the

ing to replevy it.
Now, appeal to you. fellow DEM
ocats of Linn, is this the man we are
to elect to tile most Important office in
the county: say no. lam a Dem

and am satisfied thdt many Others
will do the same, if they will but i'll

other to be standing still As the Rockford en-
CINE reached the crossing, the Chicago engine
crashed into aud upset it killing the fireman
outright. Both engines were badly wrecked
and one baggage car OF the Chicago train was
smashed There is report that eight per-

cannot be traced to reliable source. Further
particulars will be obtained as SOON as possible.
