Of the county commissioners Of any

Suicide.

From the Warsaw, Ills, Bulletin
we learn that J. Wells Andrews, late
Of this city, had committed suicide
on February 2lst in the Episcopal
church building Of that city. The
young man was well known in this
city, where heresided for a year and
half, and we have known him inti-
mately for upwards Of twenty years,
In all our experience we have never
met more upright nor chris
tian gentleman, one who never made
himself obnoxious by parading his
virtues, but by living a godly
life setting an example for others to
follow. We have always considered
him to be person who borrowed
great deal Of trouble, and at times he
acted as though slightly off his mem
tai balance, and believe that it was
during one of these mental aberra-
tions that he committed the deed.
He had a most intense affection for
his old home at Warsaw, and the old
church where he so faithfully at
tended worship In his younger days,
and after reaching mans estate. We
deeply deplUre the sad fate of one
who was the very pink Of honor, a
true and devoted friend and a pure
type Of manhood. We always ad-
mired him for his attitude upon
questions Of right and wrong, where
he was punctilious to the most exact
Ing degree, and for his unswerving
attachment and fidelity to friends.
As he lived in the true faith Of his
church, he sacrificed his life at the
foot Of its altar. The deed In this
case cannot be called a crime, for ].
Wells Andrews was a man when in
his right mind, above committing a
deed not lawful IN the eyes Of God.

FROM DAVENPORT.

Winter still occasionally splashes his icy
particles in the face OF lovely spring, but
her fiowery path is already being sprink-
led with green, and much of the stock Is
already making their living ON the wild
pasturage, the snow having disappeared
in patches on the north hill sides.
Revs. Mr.. Compton Of Spokane Falls
and II. H. Mcmillan will preach to the
people at Lurane church on next Sunday,
March sth.
The body Of strange man was found
by Mr.. VIM. Hurlbut, ST., on tho 9Th Of
February, near his house, three miles
west Of Davenport. The remains were
soon after brought to Davenport and laid
in the hall to give an opportunity for
friends to Identify, II any friends could bo
found. There wero S45 in one Of the
pockets Of tho mans jacket. The body
was considerably decomposod, and it was
impossible to identity him from that
cause. 1t is supposed that death was
caused by freezing. The body was de-
Gently Inferred near Davenport by the
ctizens.
The blacksmith shop and hall above,
owned and operated by J. W. johnson,
was entirely destroyed by fire on the eve
ming Of February 9th. Mr.. johnson, by
superbuman exeItions, succeeded in saw

covers the loss OF the building. A large

Paul Strobach, Sr., Of our city, re-
ceived news Wednesday from Wash
ington, notifying him that in the
way Of amendment to the deficiency
bill passed yesterday in both houses
Of congress, Spokane and Skamania
counties were attached to the 4th
judicial district over which Judge
Turner presides. AS for Skamania,
there must be some mistake, as that
county is in the 4th district as for
merly constructed. This good news
will give general satisfaction not only
to members Of the bar, but the peo-
pie OF our county, as it should have
originally been included In the new
district. An effort is to be made to
have Judge Turner retained in his
position, as during his brief time he
has made friends with all classes for
his courteous bearing and just decis-
ions while on the bench, and in the
private walks Of life.

Activity.

There was busy scene Of REFRESH
ing activity around the stables from
which the various stages depart
north, south, east and west yesterday
morning early. All of them went
out with full loads. The stage to
Chewelah was loaded down with
passengers and express matter, while
the Fort Spokane coach was jammed
to the hurricane deck. 1t shows that
travel toward the various mining
and agricultural districts is growing.
So heavy was the demand for space
on the Embrey and Chewelah stage
that that big, jolly boss Of the whip,
Old Brad, went out behind four
flyers with nothing but that white
hat peering above parcels and pack
ages. Glover & Gillian was COM
PEELED to send out an extra on the
heels Of the regular, which Charley
Wilson will take through or bust.
Even with those Accommodations sew
eral passengers had to remain over
JOr the next stage. This is but the
beginning of a season of travel that
will prove unprecedented in the his
tory Of eastern Washington. There
is now dozen men in town await
ing the clearing Of the ice from the
lake, to go into the Coeur d'Alenc
mines by steamer. They will proba-
bly, get off Monday, as the steamer
has already made trip to the Coeur
d'Alene river, and the ice is expect
ed to go out of that stream any day.
The day when the river is clear will
be announced in these columns.
From all parts of the country we hear
Of the coming of vast numbers OF
people. Most of these travellers will
come to Spokane Falls and extend
their researches from this city. They
could not select better point from
which to reach the mining districts,
, 1885-03-07

For several years the existence OF silver
bearing quartz in the vicinity OF Fort Spo-
kane has been known, and as long ago as
four years work was done on some OF the
claims. For some reason the mines were
never thoroughly examined, and little or
nothing was ever said Of thom. This
winter 80 much has come TO light in re-
gard to the surrounding mineral lands
that parties have gone to work in earnest
and taken out considerable ore. Those
who have taken an interest in the county
are men Of few words, but possessed Of
more than ordinary earnestness. We
were informed yesterday that the work
has assumed such a shape that those in
terested feel justified in shipping a car
Of ore to Denver for reduction. 1t is assert
cd that rock that will mill from 500 $3.50
to the ton can easily be picked out, and
that is the character Of the rock that the
owners propose to send east. II 1t turns
out as well as is expected, the appearance
Of a car load in such mining centre as
Denver will send crowd Of people flying
out to this country.

Tuesday evening the friends Of
Miles W. Traver, to the number Of
fourteen couple, called upon him and
took him completely by surprise.
The cause Of this hilarious raid was
the fact that Tuesday happened to
be the 51st anniversary Of Mr.. Tra-
ver's advent upon the stage Of life.
The gentleman soon recovered from
the shock, and himself and lady did
all in their power to make the visit a
pleasant one for their guests. The

hour in.the social pastimes character

A. A. Newbery is at home again
after several weeks abseneeat North
Yakima, where he has been engaged
disposlng Of lots for the railroad COM
pany. With all the hurly-burly
connected with the sudden boom Of
the new town, yet A. A. is glad
enough to get back to Spokane Falls,
where there is plenty of life without
that aimless rush connected with
new towns stopping over with ad-
venturers and a variegated class Of
inhabitants. North Yakima con-
tinues to spread Its wings, and ac-
tivity and hustle is apparent on every
hand. Whether It will result in any
thing time alone can tell, although
real estate is booming as II the place
Is to make a second Chicago.

The opinion is quite general that
the pre-emptiOn law is in no danger
Of repeal by the present congress.
But its repeal is still among the pos
sibilities. 1t is now on the table OF
the house with only few bills ahead
Of it. One of these, however, is the
Mexican pension bill. The amend
ments to this bill by the senate are
expected to occasion considerable de-
bate, and a prolonged debate will
result in the exclusion of other legis-
lation, II it does not endanger some
Of the appropriation bills and compel
an extra session. AS it stands, the
pre-emption bill can not be taken up
out of its regular order so long as
there is a single objection to 1t.
Congressman Nelson kept the friends
Of the measure from acting upon It.
During the morning hour any one
can call it up, and unless there are
ten objectors 1t can be put upon its
passage. During the last six days of
the session any one can move to sus-
pend the rules and put the bill on its
passage, and If a two-thirds vote Is
secured the bill is sure to be passed.
1t is not safe to predict that the re-
peal will not become a law. The
feeling in favor Of its repeal is so de-
cided that it will undoubtedly be re-
pealed by the next congress II it fails
in this for the want of time. Its
threatened repeal will, therefore, oc-
casion great activity among those
who desire to get possession Of gov
ernment land at low figures.

FROM our SpeClll NOEftNpOuuthl.l
ED. REvIEw;-The pleasant wealth
er of the past few days has driven
away the snow to such an'extent that
prospectors are constantly leaving
for the hills and mining operations
are again assuming their regular
routine. Most Of those going out
are genuine prospectors, and ere long
we expect to hear good reports from
various sections of the country.
There are now seven claims in the
immediate vicinity of camp being
worked, most of them showing up
better than at any previous period,
The birds in the trees are singing,
The children and pigs are frisking
about;
The blasts from the mines-the wild
woods ringing,
And McDOugall has got the gout.
Poet Ldridt.
c. COnrady, proprietor Of the Che
welah and Columbia stage line, has
sold out to Glover & Gillian, who
will Immediately stock the same
with new and sufficient attachments
and continue the line through to the
Little Dalles. The distance from the
Falls to the Dalles Is about 11O miles,
and coaches will go through in two
days, stopping at Embrey over night,
where there are ample aceommoda-
tlons for travellers.
While railroads, canals, steam
boats, etc, are being talked Of, a new
venture is being agitated here by
way of a road to the Pend d'Oreille
river. Those who know the country
say that trail already exists, lead
ing direct from Embrey to Metal
line, on the Pend d'Oreille river, and
that the distance is but about 80 miles
between the two points. If this be
the case, a saving Of at least 25 or 80
miles can be made, rather than by
taking the Sand Point or Colville
trails. Here is a chance for some
enterprising man to make stake by
opening this trail, as the entire coun-
try between Embrey and the river
is vast body of mineral, which is
bound to be opened up at no distant
day.
The Embrey brewery building is
complete and, we understand,
batch of beer has been made. We
are unable to praise the quality of
the beverage, as nary a drop has, as
yet, entered the portals Of our hum
bic abode.

sojourn among the mines here, re-
turned TO the Falls on Saturday last.

short stay among us, who will hearth
ly welcome his return at any future
day.
