sTuB FREE sCnooL QUESTION.

The last Legislature having failed to
pass free school act, it remains for
the several districts to decide this aues-
ton at each annual school election.
Last year the Albany School District,
after hotly contested fight, voted a
tax upon our people for the mainte-
nance of free schools in this district for
the school year just expiring; and so
far as we have observed, the system
has worked admirably, and we see no
good reason ~hy we should not again
vote the free school tax for next wear.
A community which encourages, fos-
tiers and promotes the education of its
youth, is not only a credit and a pride
to its people, but is also vastly bene-
fitted by the proper maintenance of or
der, sobriety and morality within its
midst.
Education is the strong Lulwark of
American liberty, and its liberal dis
throughout the length and |
breadth of our land is the boastful
pride Of every true American heart.

THE BLACK DEATH.
The Terrible Plague In RuSsIa... pc ra.
ticn or fI:e Disease.

The telegraph tells us that the plague
is spreading rapidly in the Southern
provinces of Russia Thousands and
thousands have died within the last
few days. The victims, when taken,
live only about two hours, and turn
as black as a negro. All physicians
ordered to the care of the sick have
died within twenty-four hours after
their arrival. The corpses are burned
and so are houses in which the people
die. Whole towns have been laid
waste during the past few days. The
government has placed Gordon of
soldiers around the infected pro vinces
so that the people cannot get out and
spread the disease. Any who attempt
to break through the Gordon are shot
dead OH the spot. People are begin
ming to feel uneasy all over the empire.
The government of course does
not allow the news to get out, and
al reports are suppressed, but the worst
IF all is, that nobody can get out of
he empire. The Austrian and Ger
nan governments have placed double
GORDON of soldiers along the frontier,
all persons from entering
heir territory from Russia. Persons
lrriving by railroads are stopped at
he frontier and detained twenty days
n quarantine, their baggage and cloth
ng disinfected, and if they prove all
light after lapse of twenty days they
re permitted to cross the border. Dur
ng 20 days the quarantined people are
oused in large sheds and barns
Without any Accommodations or comforts.
If course knowledge of this fact keeps
lany people from travelling. The gov
is doing all in its power to
revent the disease from spreading. h

MURDER AVENGED.
ThlFiy.slx Indian MurdercfA bllFptissd IN
Their place Of Retreat aud sIaln by
the settlers.

From gentlemam just through from
thei Lower Weiser, we learn that about
three weeks ago information was re.
ceived by tho settlers on the Weiser
that band Of Indians who raided that
valley last summer, drove off stock and
killed Munduy and two others who
pursued them, killed Dan. Crooks and
his companion while sleeping in their
camp, and made their escape to the
mountains between tho Phyette and the
south fork Of Salmon river, were re-
turning to the Payette, says the Lewis
ton Teller. A company was soon or
ganized, armed and equipped for n
short campaign to intercept them. The
number of men as near as we can learn
was somewhere between 20 and 80,
They proceeded across the Payette and
soon found signs Of tho Indians. They
quietly reconnoitcred and made dis.
covery of their camp. Waiting a ia
vorable opportunity when all were in
camp and not in the least expecting the
near presence of white men, they sud.
denly surprised and attacked them and
killed thirty-six of their number,
nearly annihilating tho whole camp.
Only two or three are known to have
escaped death.
On examination Of their bodies
many were identified as Indians who
had been fed by the settlers at their
houses before the Bannock war, who
then professcd great friendship for the
whites, but on the first outbreak fled
from the valley and went to the Nal
heurs, and were aftorward known to be
with the hostilcs in Umatilla county.
When the hostilcs scattered after
Miles battle on the Umatilla, this band
retrcatcd and crossed Snake river not
far from tho mouth Of Powder river,
thence went up into the skirts of the
upper Weiser settlements and stole
many valuable horses.

however, would not be so objection.
able If it had ouly given the truth.
After summing up all the evidence it
appears that while Mr.. Weed wns in
Columbia he had no negotiations direct
ly with the Canvassing Board, but
learned that while the State had gone
for the Democrats, number of the
oanVassers would not 40 decide unless
they were paid for it; and thereupon
he telegraphed to Mr.. Henry Have
meyer of New York, asking if money
could be promised. Very soon u deiin-
ite proposition on behalf of the Board
of Canvassers was made to him, of.
tering to give the vote foreither 500, 900
or $4,000. In company with Mrli
Hardy Solomon, the representative Of
the canvassers, no left Columbia for
