At the Capitol yesterday afternoon at
O'Clock the first session of the Forty ninth
Congress died after a long and painful ill
ness. For week or more the daily attend
ants about the patient Were aware that the
end was drawing nigh, and yesterday morn
ing the unmistakabe imprint of Death was
plainly visible. During the morning hours
the patient was restless and feversh and
frequently asked for something to drink,
but beyond this, spoke few words, aud the
watchers moved about silently and whisper
ed in low tones. The sufferer became more
nervous at 2 o'clock, and thirst was the
dominant characteristic with q high
temperature, rapid pulse aud labored
respiration. At 3 o'clock, however,
change for the better occurred, anu the
weary watchers took hope that the crisis
was past. y peaceful slumber followed the
restless tossing on the pillow, the fever
lessened very appreciably and there was
every evidence that the grim-visaged visitor
bad postponed his task for that day
at least. At 3:45 the patient awoSe sud
denly, and awakening was almost In
stantly followed by the most aggravated
symptoms high lever, disturbed breathing,
convulsive shudders and a strong tendency
to delrium. The patient talked wildly,
tossed about as If in pain, and called fire.
quently for some cooling liquid. The ply
sicians had, however, interdicted this and
the sufferer grew more restless. This con-
tinued for few minutes and Just as the
clock was on the stroke of the weary ones
eyes closed, a paroXysm Of pain distorted
the features, there was a shudder and all
was over The end had come, not unex-
peCted, 1t is true, but not the less painful,
and as the attendants gathered at the bed
side of the illustrous dead and looked upon
the devastating work Of death, there was
not dry throat In the audience.
In reply to an inquirer, THE CRITIC has
to say that II has no positive information
although 1t has heard the matter suggested
AS to proposed monetary discussion be-
tween U. s. Treasurer Jordan, represent
ing the gold standard and coinage of silver
dollars and Colonel George o. Jones, the
champion Gleenbacker. A parliamentary
slugging match between these profound
monetary and finance experts, conducted
under rules granting to each time IN ertcns0,
would, in the course Of nature, undoubt-

however, could only be fixed at the demise

Good Detective Work.

Detectives Ira NJ. True of this city and
been at Harmony investigating the cause OF
the recent fires in that place, have returned
to Portland. They have arrested thus far
three persons-Mrs. Emma E. Brown, the
Hurd boy and boy named William Z. Rowe.
The boys have confessed to setting fires. 1t
is probable that Others besides the three per-
sons named will be arrested for completely
in setting the fires. Messrs. True and Smp-
son saw that the reports regarding the state
of excitement which the people of Harmony
were in during the time the fires were set
have not been in the least exaggerated. The
people of Harmony feel under deep obliga-
tons to Messrs. True and Simpson for the
skillful manner in which they have looked
the cases up, Mr.. Simpson will return to
Harmony again Monday.

A little more than year ago we published
In these C Jumns notice of the discovery of
Sheridan's Condition Powder to make hens
lay. In making that announcement we re-
lied wholly upon the character and reputation
of the manufacturers. To our own mind, At
that time, the idea of making hens lay the
year round by artificial or any other means,
eemed absurd, but We have since learned
that it can be done. The notice alluded to
above attractive universal attention, and
thousands of people, while not believing that
Sheridan's Powder could accomplish all that
was claimed for it, thought il was at least
worth trial. The trial was ma e during
December, January and February. No 9TH
er months could have been selected which
would have given this Powder so severe a
test, for everyday who keeps hens knows
that they will not lay during these months ex.
cept in rare cases. But the result of this
trial was most satisfactory and conclusive.
Hundreds of those who made the trial re
ceived from is TO "a eggs per hen per month,
while many got one egg a day from each hen.
The price of eggs during December, Janua-
~ and February last, averaged 80 to 30 cents
per dozen. Thus it will be seen that a very
few hens each laying an egg dav would sup
