The Late r,urder .xear Dungenesz

There appears Low to be but little
doubt that the murdered men, Govan
and Crownin, whose bodies were found
near Dungeness q few weeks ago. were
drowned by northern Indians in revenge
for the loss Of two OF their number early
in the fall It seems that crowd OF
those northern Indians were employed
on farm near Dungeness in digging
potatoes; and that being natural thieves
they helped themselves both to potatoes
and apples in the night; that they were
discovered and fred upon, and that they
had all disappeared by morning. Subse-
quent information is to the effect that
they landed near Port Angeles and
buried one of their men, while another
was wounded so badly that he could not
possibly live. According to Indian
tradition and belief, their mode of
retaliation is to inflict like injury upon
the race or tribe ipjuring them; and they
prefer 20 wreak vengeance upon others
than the person or persons who actually
did the killing or other injury to thea :
Their theory is that it makes the retaha-
tory punishment all the greather to visit
it upon innocent persons. Several canoe
loads Of these maranainQ 'Tsirrpseans or
other northern aboriginees had been seen
proWling along from Discovery to
Dungeness. and il is presumed they were
looking for a chance TO get just two
white men alone, as near the scene OF
their own injury as possible, and that
the unfortunate victims OF the cold
blooded murder that thrilled everybody
with horor were by accident the first TO
encounter them. The particulars and
circumstances attending this sad affair
will always furnish a ''black Friday"
chapter in local history. While actual
and minute details of the double murder
may always remain mystery. it is pretty
we'll established now from what is
known, and from the testimony of old
settlers well acquainted with the
peculiarities Of revengefel Indian
character, that the foregoing is sub
stantially correct The deceased were
discovered so situated that their drown
ing could not possibly have been
accidental, while the physician who
made the autopsy established the fact
that death was caused by drowning.
The sckening details of the whole affair
will always cause a shudder, and we're
there any positive proof as to the par
ticular Indians who committed the
murder it would not be surprising If tie
chapter were furnished with bloody
sequel yet.

Everything Goes Wrong

ONOS'
In the bodily mechanism when the liver
gets out of order. Constipation,
dyspepsia, contamination of the blood,
imperfect assimilation, are certain to
ensue. But it is easy to prevent these
consequences, and remove their cause, by
a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which stimulates the hillary organ and
regulates its action. The direct result is
a disappearance of the pains beneath the
ribs and through the shoulder blade,
the nausea, headaches, yeliowness of the
skin, furred look of the tongue, and sour
odor of the breath, which characterize
liver complaint. Sound digestion and a
regular habit OF body are blessings also
secured by the use of this celebrated
restorative of health, which imparts a
degree of vigor to the body which is its
best guarantee of safety from maiarial
epidemics. Nerve weakness and over
tension are relieved by it, and it improves
both appetite and sleep.

PensionIng Prisoners OF War.

Yielding to the organized agitation of
the subject by associations formed for the
purpose, the pension committee of the
House has reported favorably bill to pen
sion ex-prisoners of war 1t is proposed to
open the door to let anybody who was con-
fined in war-prison prove disabilities re-
sulting therefrom, to the same effect as if
suffered in battle; and to pay all of them
s2 per diem for every day of such conline-
ment; on the ground that while SO kept
they were deprived of their chances of pro-
motion. 1t is estimated that the first
named provision will cost the government a
million dollars and the last four millions.
1t must be admitted that the grounds
upon which the proposition is based are
very tiimsy; and in view of the wide mis-
calculation on the other pension acts, il
may be predicted that this new one, if
passed, will cost thrice the present compu-
tation. We believe that the families of
those who died in prisons of war have al
ways been entitled to pensions, the same a.
if they had died in battle or on the march
and this seems fair. And if injuries could
be directly traced to the privations and tor
ture of prison life they would probably be
as much entitled to favorable respect as the
wounds OF the camp, the march or battle.
But claims revived at this time, wounds and
scars now freshly discovered ARE to be looked
upon with suspicion. In every community
men rushed forward after the arrears of
pensions act was passed and proved dis.
abling injuries, whose nearest friends and
neighbors had never suspected any physical
defect in them. All around us stout, lusty
fellows are drawing pensions, who were
never known to be unable to work or to
draw salaries in any position they could Sc
cure. The prisOners-of-war act will give
another batch chance. II it passes we
may expect to see legions come forward to
swear and share its benefits.
The per diemn allowance is. however.
worst OF all. There is no precedent for it.
Il Is clean, clear grab. 1t will, no doubt.
pass. The pensioners, like the soldiers,
orphans increase as the years roll on. Con.
grcssmen and legislators vote the allow
ances because of the clamor for thar,
Very soon the benefciaries of these acts
will be 30 numerous that exceptions will,
be notable; and a proposition to include
everybody viii be popular.
