NEEDS INVESTIGATION.

The reckless disregard of human life, IL
large cities, is becoming alarming, and seems
to be spreading, like an epidemic, through
out this coast. You can scarcely pick up q
newspaper that does not contain an account
of some blood thirsty tragedy. The list Of
horrid murders committed in this State,
during the past year, is enough to startle
every reader and arouse public indignation.
The heart sickens while reading the various
recitals of foul deeds. And now follows
another, which was recently enacted in
Portland, but which falls, with crushing
effect upon hearts in this county and in Linn.
Last Friday, Mr.. J. S. Gray, of this city,
was summoned to attend the funeral of his
aged father, whose death occurred under
very painful and suspicious circumstances
in the city of Portland, last week.
The deceased, John Gray, a respected
farmer of Linn county, aged about II years,
had been visiting a son in Eastern Oregon,
and was returning to his home in Linn.
Arriving at Portland, on The Dalles boat on
Friday night, he stopped, we belive, at the
Oregon Hotel. Next morning he was found,
by the police, ON the street in front Of the
hotel, in an insensible condition, supposed
to be under the influence of liquor, and was
conveyed to jail He remained in an un-
conscious state until Monday, when he re-
vived, and sent for Frank Paxton. rela-
tive, who had him Immediately conveyed
to the st. Vincent Hospital, where, despite
medical care and attention, he died on the
Wednesday following. He knew nothing
of how he came upon the street, but says
he was robbed of Sl5-all the money he had
upon his person. He was man of the
strictest morals and integrity, and never
touched strong drink, which clearly shows
that he had been drugged, as well as robbed.
We learn that the matter is being worked
up by detectives, and it is to be sincerely
hoped the guilt will be traced to its proper
source, and the perpetrators of the foul
deed visited with the severest penalty of
the law.
The remains were brought up to Albany
last Friday, and buried ON Saturday, fol-
lowed by a very large conc.urse of sorrow
ing friends.

The Death.rafe Of

Our country is getting to be fearfully alarm
ing, the average of life being lessened every
year, without any reasonable cause, death
resulting generally from the most insignif-
cant origin At this season of the year es-
pecially, a cold is such common thing that
in the hurry of every day life we are apt to
overlook the dangers attending it and often
find too late, that Fever or Lung trouble
has already set in. Thousands lose their
lives in this way every winter, while had
BoscAee's Gercan Syrup been taken, cure
would have resulted, and large bill from a
Doctor been avoided. For all diseases of
the Throat and Lungs, Boschee's German
Syrup has proven itself to be the greatest
discovery of it's kind in medicine. Every
Druggist in this country will tell you of its
wonderful effect. Over $50, 900 bottles sold
last year without single failure known.

am courting Mollie Brown,
The fairest lady in the town;
On her face there's ne'er frown =
How could there be with soul so free!
Oft when the sun had sank below,
And the stars were all aglow,
Have wandered singing low,
With lovers glee, my love to see.
Oft Pve met her at the gate,
Where she loves to watch and wait,
As bird looks for its mate,
So sweetly shy with half shut eye,
/ will not keep her waiting long,
For you know it would be wrong
I'll whisper words more sweet than song
Bye and bye-the time is nigh.
She loves me with a love divine,
And puts her little hand in mine,
And SAYS so sweetly, T" am thine,'
What should do, with faith so true?
Why then clasp her in my arms,
And kiss away loves shy alarms,
And swear allegiance to her charms,
Life's journey through and SO would you.
You say such true love cannot last,
That it will die with sorrows blast.
Stop, my friend, don't judge so fast,
You cannot know; don't grieve me so,
I've told her that loyed her well,
More than mortal tongue could tell.
Together we've agreed to dwell.
While here below. through woil or woe.

BLUE R,eeoN CLUB.

The meeting, at the Presbyterian church,
last Saturday, was quite interesting, but
not so largely attended as should have been
on pleasant evening. The music, however,
was complete failure. The committee on
music should look after this matter. The
address by Rev. W. I. Chapman, was able,
interesting and well received. His expert
ments, showing the effect of alcohol upon
the brain, will never be forgotten by the
juvenile portion of the audience. The speak
er closed by urging the necessity of educat-
ing the public mind ON the subject of tenn

The audience was then favored with a

MARROW EsCAPE.-The Salem Statesman
of the 18th inst, gives an account of mar
row escape from mad bull, recently made
by Messrs. Koehler, vice president of the
o. c. r. R., J. Brandt, jr., Supt., and Mr.
j. o. johnson, superintendent of railroad
bridges. A few days ago the party were
coming up the west side track, in front of
fha xxrbo fbax,o ! I,.S1
and concluded to cross the ravine below
While down in the ravine, the party was
attacked by mad bull; at first Messrs.
Koehler and Brandt were chased, when the
animal turned from them, and pursued Mr..
johnson. Mr.. J. finding that the infuriated
animal was gaining upon him, turned, and
with an AK, which he fortunately happened
to be carrying, dealt the bull blow on the
head, which laid him dead at his feet. Ii
was, indeed, close call, and lucky HIT .
MAILS DELAYED. D.-We learn from Mr..
John Wells, that the road to Alsea valley
is completely blocked with fallen timber, SC
that the mail carrier is compelled to leave
his horse at his (Wells) place, and carry the
mail through on foot. This is great misfor.
tune and inconvenience. as he cannot make
the trip, under this arrangement oftenel
than once week. 1t will be almost an i'm.
possibility for the people over thare to oper
this road without help, which should be
literally given from the county treasury
The same is true, to a great degree, of the
road to Yaquina. Both roads should receive
liberal aid

In AWFUL PERIL.-Ever since the late
terrible storm the suspense relative to the
fate of the party at work upon Tillamook
has been intense. Stores and provisions
known to have been washed from the rock,
and found along the beach, added to the
terrible suspense. The Corwin has at last
reached the rock, and found the party all
alive. A letter from Mr.. Ballantine, the
contractor, and published in the Portland
papers, gives some idea of their peril. The
place where they were cramped, although
80 feet above the sea, was washed by the
angry waves, and some $500 worth of sup
plies lost. The men were saved by keeping
within their quarters, which were fearfully
pounded by the angry breakers Mr.. Bal
lantine did not sleep for three nights. Their
escape seems almost miraculous.

THE WORST FEARS REALIZED week
we mentioned the probability that young
man, Ami Bogue, whose parents reside
across the river in Linn county, had per-
ished by cold, east of the mountains. La
ter intelligence confirmed the sad rumor.
His body was found, stiff in death. Doubt
less, overcome by the cold he had sunk
down, and perished. 1t is great consola-
tion, however, to his aged, grief-stricken
parents and mourning relatives to know
that he was prepared for the better life.
Previous to his departure he had professed
religion and joined the M. E. Church. Just
before leaving he requested Mr.. w. J. Mil
hollen to allow his name to remain ON the
class book until he should hear from him,
remarking that he Thought he could live
religious up there as well as at home. -

lars of the heavy loss sustained by her un-
Gle, Mr.. J. L. Wakefield, of Polk county,
by the recent storm Mr.. w. resides about

Monmouth. His large barn was blown

\ BRUTALLY MURDERED.-An aged Ger
man, named Henry Stevens, inoffensive
old miner, was beaten to death, in a drunk
en- row, by man named John Darby, at
Canyon City, recently. A correspondent
says the particulars of the crime are too
disgusting to bear reduction to writing.
The old man, it seems, was addicted to
strong drink, and wheu on spree, the
Portland Bee says, " his cabin was the re-
sots of dead Beats and the lowest order of
sorts, and in a drunken orgie he was inht1.
manly dealt with and beat to death. I" The
populace were greatly excited, and talked
of lynch law. 1t is high time that some
decisive steps were taken to prevent the
cold -blooded murder which now seems su
rife throughout the land.

Confessed HIS CRIME.-Last week we
mentioned the brutal murder of an aged
German, Jacob Swanger, in Washington
county. Harry Wintzingerode, of Portland,
horrid details, is even more atrocious, if
could be, than the Hagar murder. He first
shot the old man, and then beat his head al
most to jelly with an ak, after which he
dragged the body into the cabin aed locked
the door after him. He says he killed the
old man because he would not loan him
money. A little girl of the family in which
he was stopping saw him clandestinely
counting money, which led to his detec-
tion.
