Regul alton Of Railroads,
CANYoNyILLE, Jan. %. 1881


Mn. EDITOR: There is a question
which we of this section of the county
deem of great Importance and upon
W licl we want to be advised before the
june election.
Will the next Legislature of tits
State regulate freights and fares on the
various lines of railway! That they
have a right to do so is undisputed.
The exorbitant rates charged demands
that it should in justice be done. Does
either Of the two political parties fear
the influence of these gigantic corpora
tions so much that ttey will decline to
act in the matterl If SO it is time they
would show their hands. The people
who are directly interested want to he
informed or this question. If both the
old parties should decline to act on this
question there are enough independent
voters in this county who viii support
no candidate for the Legislature on
either ticket who is not outspoken and
known TO be honest upon this question,
to secure the defeat of every aspirant
who shah seek to dodge this issue.

extract from the Oregonians Of Port
land, where he has lately closed a week
Of artistic triumph:
''No actor has ever vi,ited Portland
with stronger endorsement from tue
highest society circles and the daily
press than John S. Langrishe, who is
supported by company, all of whom
are new to this city. Langllshe is per-
sonallv familiar to every section OF the
United States, excep. the extreme
northwest. Dropping into manage
ment and quitting the active stage some
years ago, his name has become less

advertised stars of late years Many
wears since he achieved q name and po-
sition while but a youth, and starred

of a circuit from Chicago through Wis

He brought his entire company by wag
ons over the trail, defending themselves
twice from Indian attacks. He built
theaters in Denver, Central City
Georgetown, and also in Helena and
Virginia City, Montana. Among the
prominent members of his company
were G. ". Couldock, of HDunstar
Kirke' fame, and George Paaneefort

CHICAGO. january 13, 1884.
HARRY: We have had terrible
time to-day and believe I am IA lucky
fellow, when / realize that no lives
have been lost. At ten o'clock this
morning Charley went into the lions
den to perform them, bur before We
could shut down the door again out
sprang Prince, the large lion. OF
course the barn was full. / was SIT
ting next to DIR. Kelly. and when he
jumped out he knocked us both over
and ran to the corner Of the allev door,
where We kept him until ] got the
shifting box at the sliding door that
goes into the she'd and we got him over
IN that corner, bat lie would not go in
and in less than minute he WAS III the
pony's stall and had the little fellow by
the neck and pulled him down aud in
side three minutes the poor pony was
dead. We then tore the upper floor up
epd dropped ropes down and caught
him by the fore legs and pulled him
fully half way up. We then had a
long stick with two sponges saturated
with chloroform and we then managed
to get ropes on his hind legs and pulled
him into the shifting box and from
there into the cage. t occupied just
three hours time. A lion loose soon
got noised around and there was a
thousand people around on tho street,
and every body said, "shoot him." but
[ was determined to save the lions life.
| If possible, and I did SO. OF course
there was scattering out of the barn.
Every body ran for their lives, but
Charley, my wife and ] stood on
ground. OF course we regret the loss
of he pony. | never expect to see his
equal again, and the children have JUS
cried their eyes out over him. He was
tie cutest of all ponies | ever saw ant
money could not have bonght HIM, bu
| feel grateful that no lives were lost
The reporters Of all the papers hav,
been here and [ am afraid that the,
may say it was caused by carelessness
but this is not So The door did no
drop quick enough. 1t got caugh
