Der: Sir. 1t is not the common lot of
men to voluntarily lie down upon the sur
geon's table and have disclosed to them, at
once, the nature of their disease and the
number of their days. Among the readers
OF your valuable paper there are doubtless
many friends of the late John Rathbun. who
would be glad to learn some of the particu-
lars relating to his death.
Some six or eight months since, Mr. Rath-
bun, while hauling hay on his farm received
severe blow upon the abdomen from
heavy scantling used about the balor. He
was insensble for an alarming time, but fl
nally revived. This might have been the
origin of his malady, for, about two months
ago he began to feel unusual and distressing
symptoms about the injured part. On ask
ing medical advice he was informed there
was either tumor or u cancer in his stom-
ach
He grew worse daily, and there appear
ing to be no other hope Mr.. E.thbun finally
determined to undergo an operation, and
consulted an eminent Portland surgeon con
nected with the ST. Vincent hospital He
was advised that on account of his age and
the complicated location of the tumor that
a surgical operation would be attended with
the utmost danger. Mr.. Rathbun, however,
would not be dissuaded, but with nerve
characteristic of the msn, determined to
take the desperate chances. The operation
was performed at st. Ninceuts hospital ON
the 18th inst, when the surgeons discov-
cred large and vrulent cancerous tumor.
They were astonished that the patient had
not succumbed long before.
Mr.. Rathbun fingered until the evening
of the Dist inst, when he expired. The re-
mains were brought down on the Laioaa and
the funeral services took place at the home
stead near Pioneer, being conducted by Rev
j. VI. Alexander There was very large

DR.. RANDOLPH SMITHS LECTURE on the
subject OF Diptheria at Brant's hall last Thurs
day night was very largely attended, draw
ing out the largest audience we have seen
in Vancouver at any lecture. DR.. Smith
handled his subject ably, as to causes, ef-
fects. and treatment in all their aspects. He
advanced many now ideas in regard to the
props cation Of blood diseases not generally
known by the people, and in disseminating
these ideas we think.Dr. smith can not fail
to do good whether hs theory is absolutely
correct or not. We do not have space 70

As so much has been said about the new
law and its workings, the history of the bill
becomes matter of interest to all our read
ers. Below we give it as represented by the
Olympia Courier, and in it will be found the
names of all the men who voted for and
against, and who are responsible for this
miserable abortion of law
'The revenue law as it stands upon the
statute book is slightly changed from the
bill us originally introduced by the legisla-
tive assembly. 1t was drawn up by Mr..
Booth of Seattle, who had long been auditor
of King county, and therefore familiar with
the working of the laws heretofore in force.

The Dallcs MountojneCr very truth
fully says that the Columbia is acting
badly this year, and is now not more
than ten feet above low water, when
it ought to be twenty or thirty. Should
the cold weather continue two or three
weeks longer, and then change Ia very
warm and continue So for three or four
weeks, we should not be surprised TO
see the river over the entire city of
The Dalles up to the bluff. However
We don't fear such catastrophe, but,
nevertheless, il would suit the citizens
of this city just as well if the weather
would turn warmer and run off the
larger portion of the water before the
June freshet sets in. Our city has been
visited in the last three or four years
with about rs many calamities as she
is able to stand.

Dor for several years, and ever found him
obliging and generous to fault.
Mr.. Rathbun was born in Pennsylvania
in 1922. Among the rugged but picturesque
hills of his native state he acquired a love
for the wilder scenes of nature which clung
to him through life. A daring hunter, the
densest forests or the most intricate canyons
among the foothills i'll this county were to
him familiar paths.
Mrs. Rathbun was with him through all
the trying scenes at the hospital, and she
will ever bear grateful remembrance of the
assiduous care, the kindness and the sym
pathy of the Sisters towards her dying hus-
band.
No surgical skill could save him, but very
much was done by the physicians and au-
thorties of the hospital to alleviate his suf
ferings.
Three years ago Mr.. Rathbun joined the
NJ. f.. Church, and has since led an exemp-
larry life. Religious people will be glad
Others will not be sorry-to know that this
sudden trouble brought to John Rathbun
not the unrest of soul in dangerous sur
roundngs, but a calm and peaceful trust.
Although he died in the hospital, the Great
Physician had healed him.
