ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING ~ DEATH.-O
last Saturday the 4th ult., r. John Robin
son and j. w. Stallcop, be OF the north
fork of Lewis river started tabout o'clock
in the morning for the Kala ia river. When
about miles from the nortEork, and about
north of the Carother's rand on the mount

Mr.. Robinson was in advanq about GO yards
when he heard Mr.. Stallcopall to him twice,
asking if he, Robinson, waDn the bottom;
Robinson answered "yes," hen almost i'm
mediately he heard the repoIof gun; think
ing that Mr.. Stallcop had sbt at some game
he waited about ten minutedor him to come
up, but not appearing, bbinson started
back on the trail to ascerdn the cause of
Stallcops detention. Whe to his surprise,
and horror, at a distance ohbout 90 yards
back on the trail he found I'm lying on his
back, up out of the trail, ad about } feet
back from it his gun graspedn his lett hand
and lying across the lower prt of his body,
the left side and back of his bad completely
blown away. Mr.. StallcoR gun was
double barrelled shot gun loaed with buck
shot, only one barrel was discharged, the
left hand barrel. A thick grwth of young
trees and underbrush interveed beween the
two men, and in consequent Robinson had
no chance to see Stallcop at the time, and
therefore cannot say whethe ftallcop's death
was the result of deliberatbn or accident,
but as every man is entitled to the beneht
of the doubts in his case, il no more than
fair exercise of justice spl charity TO ac-
cord them to poor Mr.. Stalcop's, and par
ticularly since no reason cat be assigned why
he should commit such rJh act. The body
was brought in the same 81 ening by large
body of citizens of the Nort fork who turned
out for the purpose. Jus Zee DAVIS empan'

EDITOR INDEPENDENT.- 1T has never been
our lot to write more distressing accident
than befell our friend J. II. Stallcop last Sat
urday. He and his most intimate friend
John Robinson started up the North fork OF
Lewis river on a hunt; they were back III the
mountains three miles from any habitatlon.
Mr.. Robinson went ahead to ind water; he
had gone some sixty yards ahead, when Mr.
Stallcop called to him If he had found water;
he answered he had. Then. he heard Mr.
Stallcop's gun 90 off; he called to him but
got no answer He then fastened back and
found him in a sitting position; one hand
grasped the barrels of his gun and the muz-
zle rested on his shoulder with all the back
OF his head blown off. The supposition is
he was tired and was sitting down to
rest, and as he went to raise up the hammer
caught in his clothing and went off. lie
leaves wife and four children to mourn his
loss, and it is loss indeed, for there never
father than he was He was buried near
Bozarths hall There was large turn out
at his funeral, and he was well thought of by
all who knew him: such kindness as was dis
played to the afflicted family and their
friends will not 90 unrcwarded IN the here
after. Among the most prominent is Mr..

ceived the last letter that he ever wrote, as

He was born at saltwater. N. Y, in 1878. For
forty five years he served in the u s. Army,
and served well his country aud flag, during

a sergeant of the department, although for a
long time an invalid, in view of his sodierly
merits he was kept on the active list. Al
mighty God rewarded the charity for which
he was always conspicuous. and granted him
the desire which often he expressed during
his lie, that he would die a member Of the

two days previous To his death. and gave up
his soul to God, murmuring the sweet names

WELL DoNE.-Until lately the hotel run
ners OF the city were in the habit of going
to Vancouver and Intervening the boat from
the Cascades to solicit for their respective
houses. SO many complaints were made by
passengers of the annoyance that the COM
pany issued orders to prohibit the runners
from plying their vocation on the boats,
which put stop to the nuisance. Once in
a while stranger to the officers of the boats
manages to distribute his hotel cards among
the passengers, but the lesson taught such
runner in disguise from the Norton House
yesterday will deter any others from trying
the same. The Norton House runner was
caught in the act of soliciting and imme-
diately put OF the boat about four miles be-
low the city and was compelled to walk
home. The company do not intend to al
low the business to be carried on any more

A. q. u. W.-The Vancouver Lodge OF
this order is still increasing its membership
and influence, many members having been
received recently. The Ancient Order of
United Workmen has been in existence for
twelve years 1t has membership of over
So 600, and last year, paid out to its bene-
ficiares over 81, 054, 900. No complaints are
made as to payments being promptly made
TO the heirs of deceased brother. When
members die the money is promptly col
lected, aud as promptly paid to the widow
aud orphan. The st. Paul Press says of
this order that it is the largest most infiu-
entail and prosperous beneficiary organiza-
ton in the world; there are secret orders
that have larger membership, but none
that have as large membership to its insur-
ance part of the order as the A. o. L. w.
The amount of good that this order accom-
plishes in year, the suffering that it re-
lieves and prevents is incalcuable. 1t car
ries an insurance ON its membership that
amounts to over $780, 900, 600! The redeem
ing feature of the order is that there is no
reserve fund to tempt dishonest officials to
steal. the losses are paid by assessments
upon the membership as they occur, ana
the heirs of deceased brother receive s., 600
insurance promptly, without the assistance
OF a lawyer. Besides being the largest and
safest beneficiary order in the world, it is
the cheapest. Explain it to your neigh
bors.

his name, Cut Mouth John. He fought un.

also under Steptoe and Wright, and aided

met at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.

from invitation of Prof. Tower. After
a very pleasant social time, refresh
ments were served, after which Prof.
Tower stated that he hoped some
steps would be taken toward forming
al alumni association. The gentle
man himself was made temporary
chairman and the organization was
perfected by electing w. F. HQyt,
presidents Miss Cora Wheelock, vice
president; Fred L. Colby, secretary.

cided that the executive committee

might be demanded. An informal
ballot developed the fact that nearly
all present could lay claims to being
poets, so the society will not lack for
this kind of material.

While in Cassopolis few days ago
we stepped into the store of L. D..
Smith, or rather into the stores, for
he has two, connected with a great
arch in the center. Wishing to speak
to theproprietor we waited and waits
ed, patiently because be was making
every exertion to give US his atten-
ton, and amused at the throng of
customers. Six clerks were as busy
as bees putting up goods. L. D.,
himself..was now on one side of the
great arch, putting up sugar, coffees,
teas and general provisions, then with
a grand rush ofhis big body he would
land over amid the dress goods and
ealicos, silks and laces and a general
onslaught on them would commence.
And with nearly every package he
would shout, Bring that back and
get your money if it isn't just as I
tell you."
The facts are he is selling goods at
bed rock prices, warrants everything,
keeps full line, good clerks. tends
to business himself and has built up
an immense business. He has the
trade and with his facilities for low
treights, his custom Of asking yon to
pay nobody's poor debts, by having
such splendid store rooms and bis

Inconsistencies sometimes present
themselves of such a ludicrous ma
ture that one wonders how the ele-
ments ever became associated. The
action of the Cincinnati invention
takes the palm for this class of work.
The third plank in their platform,
Home rule, honest money, consist
ing of gold and silver and paper
convertible into coin on demand,
and the strict maintenance of the
public faith" Now contrast this
with the attempted coalition of the
democracy with the most luny of
greenbackers, who did not care a
straw for "honest money" or the
"public faith"
The next one is found in the fact
of a solid south supporting Union
general.
The fifth plank begins: "The
right to free ballot is right pre-
sentative of all rights. and must and
shall be maintained in all parts of
the United States" In many voting
precincts of the south where there is
a republican majority, not a repub-
lican vote can be cast save at the
peril OF the voters life. Consisten-
ey is a jewel of such rare worth that
it is never found in the strongholds
of democracy.

There are many in this section
awaiting anxiously for some ex-
pected arrearages of pensions. 1t
may interest them and also show the
cause of delay to know that over
800, 900 inquiries were made by
members of Congress during the
last session, of the Pension Bureau
regarding claims. There has been a
great increase Of the clerical foroe of
the bureau, but nothing adequate to
dispose of the business. In the d.
vision of Illinois the increase is 900
per month above those acted upon,
and during the session just closed
this increase amounts TO over 5000.
There is an immensely of work be-
fore the bureau now and all must be
patient who have claims awaiting
action.

G. 1. Peck was arrested last week
on complaint OF David VanAmberg
Wheeler, a colored youth, who
charged Peck with assault and bat
terry. 1t appears that some OF the
boys have been in the habit of max
ing illusions to the said Peck, which
are quite unpleasant to that gentle
man, and when he made the rush on
the C. y. he supposed him one of the
offenders, which did not prove to be
the case. Fine $500 and costs, total

Mr.. G. G. Morton brought his
wool clip into town last Monday
and sold to Mr.. Wares. There were
300 fleeces, weighing total OF
1861 lbs. Thirty-eight cents per
pound was received, less certified
shripkage, and the clip netted &c
cents per pound or total of about
$719. Had it not been for one de-
fectivc fleece, the total would have
footed up an even 1000 lbs. Mr..
Morton is one of the largest sheep
owners about here and evidently
thinks they pay good returns.
