loved Oregon, the child Of his manhood's

TIE existing custom relative To coro-
ners' iuries is a humbug IN the very
broadest sense Of the term This Is
rather a sweeping assertion, but never
tbeless it is too true fact Only a fe"
days ago Al inquest was Leid over the
body of Nichol Powers, who died very
suddenly and under suspicious circuln-
stances, and the jury returned rhe ex-
ceeding ll.ht verde. OF death from
unknow- muses." and at the same time
would not countenanee post morfem
examination, because the testimony did
no. warrant it, and besides it would be
an expense to the county. Oh, mother
of ;n,,lIioeuce, We are thankful to this
;urv for the very valuable information
thew have impaired to US, and are sure
that their strict economy will not permit
ham 20 draw their fees. But somehow
we cannot help laborins under the iui-
nr,ssion that the coroners jury was
called to find the cause of Powers death.
Bad the cause been. known 1t IS possible
,ha, there would have been no need of a
iury. Why should the county pay tees
~ ak men for revealing to us the fsc'
that Powers died frcm an uhkno~n
cap.e - This "unknvwn cause migh'
haye been urged On by mnrderous
hand Who knows Does the jury
NJ, they know no mere now than they
did previous to Powers death. There Is
nnlv one remedy to obvlate the many
serious and stupid blunders made oy
cornp.rs' iuries, and that is, to abolish
them. if -ior no other reason than thst 0,
,noompetency. How much better anu
more sensible would ID be to follow the
example of our older sister states, New
York and Massachusetts, Abolish INC
iurv system, and en- lieu thereof have a
board Of three capable physicians ~n"se
business it would be to look INTO 'hes
MYSTERIOUS deaths. Their opinion wou's
have some weight, and if they valued
Their reputation as medical men, they
would not dare infict an unknown

cbang, is necessary, and will have to be
made sooner or later.

not be reasonable to expect efficient and

that the effectiveness of the militia sys-

we do want and demand that every State

have striven hard, under many difficulties,
to maintain the organization, while on
the other hand the territory has done
absolutely nothing-she has not even
furnished US laws for our government,

not, as other states, exempt US from

As the old "red cent" has now passed
out Of use, and, except rarely, out Of
sight, like the "o;d oaken bucket" It's
history is a matter of sufficient interest
for preservation. The cent was fist pro-
posed by Robert Morris, the great finan-
Ger Of the Revolution, and was named
by Jefferson two years after. Il began
TO make its appearance from the mi..u in
1872. II bore the head nf Washington
on one side and thirteen links ON the
other. The French Revolution soon
created rage for French ideas in Ameri-
ca, which put on the cenr. instead Of the
head of Washington, the head of the
Goddess Of LIBERTY Fr, nch Liberty,
with neck thrust forward and flowing
locks. The chain on the reverse side.
was displaced hv the olive wreath of
peace; but the French Liberty was short
lived, and SO was her portrait on our
cent. The next head or figure tha. sue
ceeded this-the staid classic dame with
a fillet around her hair-came int o fashion
about thirty or forty years ago, and her
finely chiselied GreGian features have
been but slightly altered by the lapse Of

A Woman And Child Drowned In

To say that our citizen, were thrown into
81 ate of excitement says the Bedrock Demo
erat, would be but feeble effort to express
their feelings when, at about p N. Mon.
day, it was announced that woman and
child had fell into the river Everyone was
aware that the river was swollen to
thrice its usual dimensions by the melting of
the late SHOWS in the mountains, and that
if a Woman was unfortunate enough 10 fall
INTO the rapid stream. u; less succor was
close at hand, death was inevitable. AS
aad children rrpaired at onee to the scene,
FRANTIC WITH EXCITEMENT,
No one knowing who the nnfortanates were
all feeling that it might he some one near
and dear 10 them. Messrs. Harry Edick and
". O. Reynolds were retu,ling iron hunt-
ing trip. and hal iu-t reached the new
bridge at the east en'i OF Valley avenue.
when they heard a cry OF distress from some
one in the river, and turning about saw
wnman sud child struggling in the raging
torrent As soon as possible Mr. Reynolds
took oil his coat aad gum boots, ran across
the bridge and Jumped into the stream. Be
ing All expert swimmer, by few strokes he
succeeded in catching hold of the woman,
and at the same time all three sank out OF
sight and remained
UNpER WATER
For distance of forty yards In the mean
time Mr.. Edick ran across the bridge to the
other side, securing a board, and when the
brave rcscuer came to the surface he held
the board ont to Reynolds to get hold of. By
this time Reynolds had hold Of the woman,
and in trying To secure the child they both
slipped from his grasp and went down the
s ream Reynolds, by a desperate effort
grasped the board and was helped out,
UTTERLY EXHAUSTED.
The two victims then sank beneath the tur-
bulent waters and were seen no m0rs. BY
this time the intelligence Lad been spreal
all over town and scores Of excItcd people
we're rushing hither and thither in the vain
endeavor to discover who the victims were
and it was almost an hour before 1t was
discovered that the woman and child were
missing from the Railroad House. The wo-
man was Mrs Earhart, and the child tive-
year-oll daughter Of the proprietor Parties
were immediately organized to
SEARCH FOR THE BODIES,
And M efforts were spared to recover them
A skiff was procured and several men with
long graphing hooks dragged the river until
dark, Int without avail. The search has
been continued without abatement but up.o
the present time all efforts have proven fu-
tile, and it may be that the bodies have
drifred down where they will not be found
until the water falls, still, it is possible that
they may have canght in the brush aud will
soon lie found. 1t appears Mrs. Earhart
told Mrs. Lachner she would 90 to the
Chintse garden, on the other side Of the
river and sine took the child with her. The
Chinaman says she went there and purchased
some onions. Accordingly, she must have
fallen into the st,eam while returning by
way If the foot bridge
