learn that S. X. Strother is an applicant
for the post-office there, that is worth
81 900. The article put him up for a
rebel North Carolinian, but his influ-
ence must have been very little with the
COnfederacy "a years ago. S. X. got
his raising" in Pike county, Illinois,
and also got Pike county wife, so if
he is successful, charge it to old Pike
and Griggsville. He is competent and
worthy. and we sincerely hope he will

The REFLECTOR publishes a breezy
account of a disgraceful scene which
took place during the closing hours Of
the Legislature. Dickinson county will
be recognized as occupying a front seat.
The grand jury bill should have been
killed, but the tactics employed to ac-
cOmplish that end were questionable.
The Legislature of Kansas, during its
entire session. has been characterized
by incompetency, fOolishness and eX-
travagance. The reason Of this is be-
cause it has been controlled by eXtrem-
lists and made up of men of mediocre
ability.

Tunnel Burned.

On last Saturday night news by telegraph
reached here to the effect that tunnel mum
her two on the line of the o. L. R. L. be-
tween here and the Yaquina Bay was on
fire and was rapidly burning all of the tim
bers in the tunnel From later information
It is learned that thu tiInbers were all
burned except those in the bottom of the
tunnel and they were yet burning. The
damage is considerable. The origin of the
fire is not positively known, it caught about
five o'clock in the evening while the watch
man at the tunnel had gone to supper. one
of the company's engines about half hour
before the fire was discovered, had been run
west through the tunnel, and it Is Gug-
gssted by some that the fire caught from
the sparks which escaped from the smoke
stack, although going west through the tun-
mel is considerable ON a down grade. The
impression however among the people gen
orally is that the fire originated from mo-
tives of an ineendiary nature and by some
one perhaps who has been waiting for pay
from the company and failing to get 1t had
become desperate and resorted to crime IN
burning the tunnel Since the fire occurred
it 10 said that parties so n, tina aga threat
ened to burn the tunnels if the company did
not pay them what was due.
If the fire was purpose'y set
to the property, the perpetrators OF
the deed should be hunted out and punished
as the law directs, because the destruction
of property not benefit to any one and a
positive injury to every body, besides per-
son who would resort to a crime of this
kind is dangerous, and with sufficient in
ducsment would perpetrate crime against
any body either in destruction of life or
property While the parties who set the
tunnel on fire should be pursued and caught
if possible, and prosecuted and punished to
the full extent of the law, yet such bastard
ly deeds in destruction Of property is simi
lar in kind to what is often perpetrated by
some crank where large numbers OF people
have become dissatisfied and turbulent be-
cause companies for which they have
faithfully worked have obtained their labor
and substance under promises and represen-
tations wherein such company had failed to
pay and compensate them. 1t would GER
tainly be satisfaction to know hat the Or
igin of the fire was purely accidental.
