in the next legislature, which elects

In this country it has been only
too common, when a man Of high
standing and large business influ-
ence committed crime and betrayed
confidence, to find ways to palliate
the crime and rescue the criminal
from suffering just punishment. In
France, ON the other hands different
tendency, which shows mercy to the
community rather than the crimi-
nal, is seen in the sentence of the
president and manager of the col
lapsed Union Generate to five years
Imprisonment each, and heavy
fine. Nor is there any likelihood
over there of justice being weaken
ed by the ''pardoning OUT process.
"Let no guilty naA escape is the
only rule of safety in a nation that

that all men are free and. equal, and
to be treated accordingly in law as
well as in citizenship.

The New Years Ball.

+ Not for many year has the lovers of the
ball room enjoyed themselves better than
on New years night at the hop given under
the auspices of the Knights of Pithias, in
Hamilton hall. A new canvas, the -entire
size of the room, had been procured and
spread during the previous week which
added much to the enjoyment of the giddy
gliders. The attendance was large and
several parties from oar neighboring towr
were in attendance whom we hope feel re-
paid for their visit. An excellent supper
was served at both the Occidental hotel and
Mrs. Heniphills, at. near midnight, after
which they again repaired to the hall ano
mingled in mirth and music until the
hallelujahs of the roosters reminded then
that the "dawning of the morning" was
upon them. All IN all the affair was de-
.cided success and was not only creditable
to the managers but added handsomely to
the lodges exchequer.

Eumuit Items.

In 1882 our antieipations as regards the
Oregon Pacific were not fulfilled. This time
last year we expected that ere now the can.
yons and recesses of the Coast Range would
have been awakened by the shrill whistle of
the steam engine. Our hopes however.were
doomed to disappointment. But yet we
still have hope and by next Christmas, if
what we hear be true, we shall be in COM
munlcation with both Yaquina bay and
Corvallis, and then our patience will be re-
warded:
We are enjoying SOME lovely weather but
the wind is little bit too cold for a
Webfooter. The weather has been unu-
sually mild here this fall, there is abundant
grass and stock is doing well.
A considerable land-slip occurred close to
the entrance of tunnel No. l last week but
no material damage was done. As they are
about out Of timbers. some more will have
to be hauled from the sawmill. This will
necessitate the repairing Of the tramway
which was badly injured by the late freshets.
Misses Dolly and Mary Savage have
been very i'll the past week. DR.. Smith of
Corvallis has been attendingsthem:
There was d shooting match at Jasper
Miller's on Christmas day when several tur-

Messrs. Connor & Crosno of Kings valley

My Interpretation of the game laws is to
the effect that from the lst of January to
the lst of July, no deer Of any kind what
soever may be killed for food or otherwise.
Is this correct If SO hunting with hounds
is of course prohibited. Hounds do more
damage to the game than all the still hunt
ers in existance. Our legislature should
have made war on hounds instead of on still
hunters. A tax on dogs would have been
in the right direction.
[ED.:-Our understanding is that killing
deer is prohibited during the time above
named in Mr.. Nash's letter. Yet we are
unable to say positively because we have
not yet been able to get an authentic copy
of the late game law, the same not yet hav-
ing been published.l

Dramatic Ente-tatnment..

Owing to the extended report of the lat,
teachers institute of this county our spaci
was too limited to admit of giving in &C.
count of the entertainment at the City Hal
held on wednesday evening Of last week.
The spacious hall was well filled and the
entertainment was success. The music
by various parties. ''Firsman" recited by Sol
Stock, Death bed Scene" by Miss Bertha
Neugass. Duetts by Mrs. B. L. Arnold and
Miss leila White. Daughter Arise" by
VIM. Emery and ''Bernado Del Carpio, ~
recitod by Miss Lizzie Hamilton, were all
performed quite well. To cap the whole
affair the next was drama entitled ''Bread
Upon the Waters" performed by eight
characters and was performed in the very
best manner entirely by Corvallis talent.
DR.. Harlem an elderly gentleman a teach
or and proprietor of private school who
stood well in life and whose mind was SER
iously affected by false accusations of for
gerry having Been made against his wayward
son, was well represented by Mr.. N. L.
Rsber. Harry Harlem tho Doctors son,
who was falsely accused by his schoolmate
and false friend and pupil of his father, was
we'll performed by David Osburn. Fred
Hastings who falsely accused young Harlem
and whose habits of dissipation had partially
led the Dr's. son estray was well repre-
sentsd by w. III. Lesh. Bob Winders,
schoolmate of young Harlem and Hastings
and who was fast friend of young Harry,
sticking by him under all circumstances,
was acted in the best manner by Leo Stock
Jonathan Wild Butts the town constable
who represented the magesty of the law and
who endesvorsd to make himself particu-
larly obnoxious to all evil doers and es-
pecially those who came under his observa-
tion was well done by Frank Irvine. Lucy
Harlem the Dr.'s daughter and sister to
Harry whose charms had captivated Fred
Hastings and Bob Winders was handsomely
performed by Miss Bertha Neugass. Mrs.
Loring house keeper for DR.. Harlem whose
household all looked upon as firm friend
was well done by Miss Ida Burnett. Dilly
who while al infant was picked from the
streets and brought homo by Harry and
who afterwards proved to be the grand
daughter of constable Butts and lover of
Harry, was we'll represented by Miss Eda
Jacobs. These parts were certainly all
performed far better than any of the the
atrical professionals who so often come here
from abroad and the characters were per-
formed entirely by home talent which
should be encouraged more than it has here
tofore been.

Eofa6 Back Ride to the Country-A Badly
Worn Saddle

1t was on = still cold morning, the day
after New Years, in the Webfoot land, in
the small town of Corvallis, that dashing
youth of at least forty summers, who had
seen much of the why's and wherefore's of
this world. On that eventful morning he
concluded to take horse back ride into the
country for his blooming health and pleas
ure. He had once been editor of the Ben
ton Democrat aud also the Riper Side, and
while thus engaged he had not only read
but bad no doubt wrote long epistles on the
subject of horse back exercise and riding in
When he had fully made up his mind to
start, in order that it might be the means of
recuperating his emaciated form, he straight
way applied to Liveryman Eslin for sad
die horse which was gentle, kind and easy.
He was soon supplied with an animal and
started south. He had rode much less than
half day when an uneasiness was expert
enced which was much more unpleasant
than healthful. 1t however troubled the
subject of this sketch but little. It hurt
the place very much which was occupied by
the seat of the saddle And the further he
went the more it seemed to him as if that
saddle would surely wear entirely Out which
he feared might cause him to have to pur-
chase another with which to replace the old
one. Fhe unpleasant condition of the sad
die and as the horse was not PAGER, under
any condition of circumstances not even for
accommodations. our friend concluded to re-
trace his steps and he therefore returned to
town the same day mneh improved in ex-
perience but not in body or in mind. Since
his return, after taking rest, he finds him.
self much improved but as a rule he prefers
to stand up for his health rather than sit
down. When he becomes tired of walking
around rather than occupy chair he pre-
fers the more comfortable manner of lying
down to rest. He has seldom been seen oc.
cupying chair of late but when he does he
generaly sits on the extreme corner or on
one of the front posts. His victuals &c
down well because he generally stands up to
eat them A few more days of ''grief and
woe" will, however, place our esteemed
friend in much more comfortable condition

fortunately however niece and daughter OF
his deceased brother died few years age
from the effects of diptheria at which time
the subject of this sketch took her loss SC
hard as to deprive him of his reason. Since
that time his mind has been SO badly effect

death his remains were brought home to his
family in this place, and on Tuesday las'
they were deposited in the Union cemetry

last week about the time of going to press

Hanging on the same night about two miles
from town of Luster and Huston by un-

given by an extra of the Prineville Ners on
| the subject:
| 'On yesterday morning the citizens rrof
Prineville were thrown into fever of sx-
lcitement upon hearing of the shooting of
AL Swarts resident of Ochoco, and who
had been stopping in town for the past week
A party OF six were playing a social game
of cards at the Exchange saloon on Friday
night, when suddenly loud report of q
shot gun was heard, and the glass from the
window near the card table was shattered,
and blown in every direction. Mr.. Swarts,
who sat next to the window said that, "that
s-n of b-h made good shot," and then it
was discovered that he (Swarts) was shot
in the back and side of the neck, ten or
twelve shot taking effect. The wounded
man was taken to the Occidental hotel, and
died at about 10 o'clock, ON yesterday morn
| ing. To the law-sbiding citizens this foul
murder was shocking enough. but feeling
was increased when parties came in from the
country, and told of the discovery of two
men hanging by their necks to a juniper.
miles east of town, near the Ochoco. Upon
hearing this the proper officers went to the
place, and an inquest was held, the verdict
of the jury being that the bodies were those
of Sgd Houston and Chas. Luster, and that
they evidently came to their deaths by be-
ing hung by the neck, and from gunshot
wounds in the head, all inflicted by un-
known parties. The verdict of the jury at
the inquest upon the body of Al Swarts was
that said Swarts came to his death by shot
gun wounds in the neck and head inflicted
by parties unknown.
Al Swarts has resided several years in the
valley of the Ochoco, being engaged in the
stock business.
sgd Houston has also resided in this sec
tion, following the business of horse raising.
Chas. Luster was late arrival here, of
no particular occupation, but claimed to be a
practical jockey. Deceased came to this
place from California short time ago. He
has no relatives here.
