PARLoR CONCERT. "A parlor concert will
be held at the residence of Mrs. S. r. Smith
May %. All are invited to attend.
Thunder, tightening, wind and rain visi.
ted us on Monday eve. in considerable force.
,, The wind unroffed a building belonging to !
Mr.. kestcr, and twisted down a large sill
yer maple shade tree in front of the premis-
es of Attorney Maxwell, and did some 9TH
er slight damage.
Carefully posted men claim that Lewis.
ton will have from 80 to 300 plurality in
Co seat question. If the people of Lewiston
will consult their real good, the plurality
for Lewiston will exceed that number. We
don't attribute either stupidity or blindness
to the people of the county.
BURNED AT SEA AND LARGE Loss OF LIFE
The steamer Grappler with large num-
Der of Cinnamon and about fifty whites,
caught fire and was burned at sea near Van
couver's Island, Sunday night. the Goth ult.
bout 80 Cinnamon and 90 whites persisted
the remainder have been rescued.
Ed. McConville and wife arrived here
from Kamia last where they have been in
charge of an Indian school, They leave to-
day for Forest Grove, where they have lu-
cratve positions connected with the Indian
military school at that place. We speak for
them good words and good will in their new
field of labor.
We arc authorized to state that Mr..
Smith, the newly appointed Receiver, who
came here last week, will not present his
commission and take possession Of the office
and relieve Mr.. Monroe, until he has r
turned to Geneva, N. v, and brought his
family out with him He may be detained

FARTHER ABOUT THE BRIDGE In addition
to the letter of Mr.. Swigert of the Pacific
Bridge Co., Messrs. A. S. Miller 4 Co.,
April 9th. forwarded a plan of bridge to the
city attorney and said one of them would lie
here with full plans as soon as they could
be completed. Hence we may expect to have
this bridge matter in condition to let con-
tracts very soon.
A dispatch states that man was found
in the river at Almota yesterday morning,
partly decomposed he was apparently
young smooth face, black hair, tf medium
height and dressed in working mans clothes.
Tic ad and face badly bruised; supposed to
have been murdered. It may possibly be
the body Of young Aldrlch who was drowned
in the Orc Elmo creek last March.
Since the above was in type we received
the following dated at Almota: "a. Leland,
whiteman's body found in river, any one
missing at or about lewiston" In answer
to the above we sent as good description
of Mr.. Aldr,ch as could be got and received
the following in reply: "The body found
corresponds with your description of Edward
Aldrich. The jury so decided. He had
large spur on left foot, Gave him decent
burial" HENRY SPAuLpING
Wizards remarks i'll Walla Walla relating
to the building of the Cascade branch, simp
| ly resolve themselves into this, to wit: An
argument and excuse for not building the
branch at all. If he can satisfy the people
| with such arguments and excuses. we great
| ly mistake the sentiment Of the people of
both Eastern and Western Washington based
upon their knowledge of the situation.
AN APoLocY.-In making mention of the
names of the distinguished gentlemen who
accompanied MIR. Willard to this place, as
taken from the Raymond House register,
our reporter had the following: ''Mr. Seer
ing, Union of Bau, Germany" We have
since been Informed that in place of Union
of Bau," it should read university of Bau,'
as the gentleman is professor in that insti-
tuition. Our reporter saws the reason for this
error is that he himself could net read Ger
man and the professor could not write Eng
lsh
PERT ANswER.-A gentleman living in
Moscow who does not take any stock in the
urgent efforts of some Of the spectators in
that town to change the county seat, has
been annoyed with numerous questions as to
why he don't affiliate with the movement,
and he has put them off by requesting that
they let him alone. But they still pressed
him, and the other day he told one of them
that his reason was that "those who were
urgent to have the change were not at home
out of the penitentiary" Since then he has
been let alone. The reason seemed ats
fai tory.
