the literature of thought, If you will
allow the expression. It's art; and
it's the most natural thing in the

to drift from the case to the stage

PERsoNAI..-Dr.W Weed, our worthy
Mayor, returned to this city Satnr-
day from San Francisco, where he
has been sojourning for some weeks
past. The doctor reports times dull
in California, caused by the exces
siye drought of the past season.
Thousands of people are out of en-
ployment, with no means of sub
sistence, causing most deplorable
state of affairs. This fact, however,
has tended in II great measure to dl-
vert the tide of immigration, which
heretofore has rested in that State,
and every steamer leaving San
Francisco is crowded to its utmost
capacity with people seeking homes
on the North Pacific coast. The
steamer Elder, on which the Doctor
took passage, was so full that the
floor of the cabin had to be utilized
for sleeping accommodations. The
majority of the immigrants landed
at Portland, strike out for Eastern
Oregon and Washington Territory.
but considerable number find their
way to the Sound country. They
all have more or less money, and
are healthy addition to our popu-
lation. @' s

DIED IN JAIL.-This morning in
the county Jail Ri Lee, China
man who was serving term of three
years for burglary, was engaged in
sweeping the corridor, being assist
ed by another prisoner. Fri Lee was
bending over the drain at the water
pipe, when his fellow-prisoner spoke
to him. Not receiving a reply, he
approached Ri Lee and found him
dead, his head resting against the
wall and him continuing in a
STOPPING position. As the other
prisoners were locked in their cells
in full view of the two. and as they
all confirm the story as told by the
prisoner who was assisting Ri Lee, no
doubt his statement is correct. DIR.
Bagley was at once called, and as
nothing unusual was discovered in
the case, the doctor decided I. ! no
further examination was necessary.
as to all outward appearance Ri Lac
died of heart disease. The China
men in the city are expected to take
charge of the remains of their dead
countryman.

looked in at the cell of Moss, who is
charged with the crime Of shooting
Peterson. Moss bears his confne.
ment very impatiently. complaining
that he is only allowed in the corri-
der just long enough to swallow his
food. which he thinks is none tod
good. and then remanded back into
the dark, damp cell. He is very
anxious to know the condition of
Peterson. From some cause the
prisoner bears a very anxious and
haggard expression. Here is an op-
portunity for the good people who
comforted Thompson in his last
hours to repeat their acts of human
ity.
