Republican primaries are close at hand,
and we are glad to know that more gen.
eral interest will be taken in them than
ever before in Linn county. One reason
of this is, Republicans know that the future
of this county is in their hands-that Re-
publicans are hereafter to I'LL all her Offices
of profit and honor, and it behooves the
party to select the very best men in It's
ranks to fill these offices. Let every true
Republican. every honest taxpaying citizen
in the county, attend the primaries on the
18th OF April next, and aid in selecting
representative Incn for delegates to the
County Convention.

Miss Mary Hale, who died near this
place on Monday morning last, was, until
q few hours before her death, apparently
In good health. The bloom of her cheek
and the buoyancy of her step were remark
ed by all, while her gentle words and hap
by smile won every heart. Ever thought
fuI of the comfort Of others, almost her
last words expressed fear that her mother
was overtaxing her. strength while waiting
on her.
May this affliction be sanctified to the
hearts of the bereave,l family, and may We
other acquaintance pass not unlleeded this
Sudden call, but strive earnestly to hive in
such manner as that when the Master
calls to us we may not fear.

Home Matters.

SAD.-Miss Mary Hale, daughter of Mr..
Milton Hale, who lives just in the southern
edge of the city, aged fifteen years, died on
Monday morning about five O'Clock, after
the most terrible suffering for a few hours.
On Sunday evening she was, while SEEM
ingly enjoying the best of health, suddenly
taken with violent commissions. Although
every effort was made to relieve her, she
passed from one convul lion into another,
apparently only more violent than its pred
ecessor, until. after about twelve hours of
agony untold, she passed away. Some
years ago tleceasc,l fell from a porch, and
it is supposed the injuries received from
this fall caused her death OH Monday morn
ing last Peace to her ashes. The ftlner-
al transpired on Tuesday, the body being
taken to the family burying ground near
Sautiam City.

SPREAD EAGLES. Mr.. Wigginton, of
California. having introduced bill to au-
tkorize the coinage OF a great eagle it
is suggested, on account of the Centennial,
it should be called the s.spread eagle.''
The coin viii weigh 1890 grains eacl,, and
six of them would weigh almost exactly n
pound. 1t is objected that the great ca
gle" must be so large that there would be
but the slightest difficulty in boring into
its edge and ahstracting from 81 to so
worth of gold, and then filling the space
with platinum alloy of the same specific
gravity. The remilling of the edge after
ward presents no difficulty, aud the coin
SO tampered with, defies detection. This
is well known method of debasing coins,
and, in the experience of all nations, a coin
larger than our half eagle is not absolutely
safe from suspicion. The s'spread eagle''
would be handy to test grocers' scales with,
and that is about all the benefit that would
be derived from it, although half dozen
carried iii an ordinary buckskIn purse
would make an effective slung shot.
