STR. BENTLY RuNs on A SNAa.-
On Tuesday morning last, about :
O'Clock, the O. T. steamer, Bently,
while running under slow bell through
place of difficult navigation about 10
miles below Salem near Lincoln, the
boat struck on snag, and such was
her momentum, that a seam 40 feet
long was ripped in the boat before she
could free herself from the stump.
Captain Smith Immediately headed
the vessel for the nearest accessible
point on shore, but before the vessel
could reach place of safety she sank
in four feet of water, one hundred feet
from shore. She had on board 100 tons
of flour and so tons of freight which
was only slightly damaged. The VIM.
NJ. Hoag took the freight of the dam
aged vessel on to Portland. The Bent
" will be bulkheaded, and will probab-
ly be ready for resumption of naviga-
ton in two or three weeks.

AN INTERESTING RELIC.-While in
Albany last week Mrs. III. /. Hardy,
proprietress of the neat tobacco and ci-
gar store on Main Street, showed us a
copy of the Ulster County N. " Ga
sctte, Published at Kingston by Sam
uel Freer & Son. The copy we saw
was dated January 4, 1900, and gives
the proceedings of the American
Congress, and has the column rules
turned in mourning for George Wash
ingtan, who died on the 14th of Decem-
Der, 1899. The old sheet is yellow with
age, and containing many interesting
notes of 'Ye olden times'i makes it
very much of a prize.

ton, aged 75 years, died at the residence
of his sou few days ago, in Monroe,
Benton county. Speaking Of his death,
a Corvallis paper says: Mr.. Hinton
settled in this county in 1916. He was
member at the territorial legislature
in 1857, and filled different offices of
honor and trust during his lifetime.
He was a man whose word was al
ways as good as his bond, and was hon
ored and esteemed by his neighbors
as an upright, honest man. He leaves
quite large family to mourn his loss,
among whom are Westly Hinton, OF
Monroe, and Mrs. Judge Burnett, of

terest, particularly in Oregon, recalling
as 1t does the great tragedy of the Mo-
doc war. Following the attack upon
the peace commission, In which Gen.
Candy and others were killed, the late
COL Meacham, who will be remember
ed as one of the members of the COM
mission, was left by the murderous
savages for dead but In a few hours
he recovered consciousness and suffer-
ed greatly from his injuries. A Modoe
squaw passing by for water, heard
groans among the bushes where Mea-
cham had crawled to hide. Finding
the wounded man, she stopped the
flow of blood with strips torn from her
own clothing, and dragged him to a
cave near by, where she attended hlm
until he had recovered strength suf-
flcient TO make his escape, giving him
food and carefully dressing his wounds
as well as she knew how. Her kind
ness became known to captain Jack,
who drove her from his camp for what
he considered her faithlessness 10 her
own people. Going among the whites
she was given such relief as they could
afford, and in the years thai have pass
ed she has lived as best she could, do
ing housework or anything else offered
her TO make living. A friend of Col.
Meacham recently discovered the poor
sentative Hermann introduced bin to
grant her pension of $25 month.

Assistant Commissioner Talcott, OF
Ohio, in a report made last month de-
clares that he is confident from his of
fetal investigation, that bogus butter
ought to be forbidden entirely on sani-
tary grounds"
Professor Arnold states that It costs
more to make milk from old cows than
it does from young ones having the
same milk capacity. AS a rule, the
best efforts do not last beyond the
eighth year of the cows age.
Mr.. e. ]. Parker, of Georgia, VT, re-
Gently read a paper of "Creameries in
Vermont" in which he said that six
years ago he started in Georgia on the
cream-gathering system, setting milk
in the deep, open style, but has come
to the conclusion that the separator il
better than anything else.
When the cream foams in the churn
and will not make butter, it may be,
and most probably at this season is
due to too much acidity in the cream
If the milk is set at steady tempera-
ture of 60 or 62 degrees for two days
and the cream kept for two or thres
days longer at the same temperature
there should be no difficulty In churn
ing. If there should be, the COW ought
to be fed n lfttlcs corn meal once ol

POLICE COMMISSIONERS.
Three Voting Districts Characteristic
mates for tho OOming Wear.

Three Voting Districts ChanEed-Estt-
mates for the Coming Year.
The police commissioners had q special
meeting yesterday afternoon. It was decid-
ed to have all the old voting places for the
coming election with the exception of those
in the Third, Sixth and Thirteenth wards.
In the Third ward the voting place will be
changed to Reilley's block; in the Sixth to
Tuttle's store; In the Thirteenth, across the
street from where it was before.
The estimates for the police department
for the coming year were talked over, and as
made out were $400 less than for the past
year. They were tabled until the next meet
ing.
Since the Brewer and Smith police visual
signals were put up, Superintendent Smith,
of the fire alarm department, has done all
the repairing and kept them in order. He
appeared before the board yesterday and
said he could no longer do it as it interior ed
with his duties connected with the FIRE de-
partment.
The commissioners decided to hire man
to take charge of the work and to also act as
supernumary policeman. It was decided to
have two new telephone signals put up at
cost of $400.

The Reports About typhoid Fever
Much Exaggerated.

The Reports About typhoid Fever
Much Exaggerated.
At the meeting of the board of health last
evening Health Officer Williston said that
the reports printed in some of the papers
about typhoid fever were much exaggerated.
There has been and there is no epidemic of
the disease. The disease is not so prevalent
in this city as in some other cities in the
State. Danbury, for instance, has more cases
in proportion to its population than New Ha-
ven. The fever here is confined to one local
ity, which is in an unsanitary condition.
Ward Bailey, clerk of the board, said that
he knew of two young men who had passed
their examinations to enter Yale college but
their parents would not let them come on
reading the exaggerated accounts of the prev
alence of typhoid fever here.
The members of the board were very much
put out at the newspaper articles calling it
an epidemic, when there was no epidemic
and no cause for alarm.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Charles Dodge, the
cashier of the law firm of Shipman, Barlow,
Larocque 6 Choate, whose confidential
clerk, James E. Bedell, is now in the Tombs
charged with forgery, was found dead in his
room this morning with the gas turned on.
He lived at 81 Townsend avenue, Clifton,
Staten Island. No cause is assigned for Mr..
Dedge's death except that he had been great
ly distressed over the Bedell forgeries lately
and had been under great strain working at
the books since the forgeries came out. His
books are perfectly straight. He left the
Office late last evening, apparently in his
usual frame of mind.

MIR. Blaine VIII Not Enter N Contro-

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 25.-Mr. Blaine has
talked to Kennebec Journal reporter on the
subject of the recently published Conkling
letters.
Mr.. Blaine says: Nothing could induce
me to enter into a controversy over Mr..
Conkling's grave. During our joint service
in Congress, some 16 years ago, we had some
exasperating controversies, but never spoke
or wrote word concerning him, except pub
licly, and now that he is dead my lips are
sealed against every form of criticism or I'M
kind expression, no matter what may be the
impudence or the injustice of any of his
/ surviving friends"
he further says it was great surprise IL
him that such letter should have been writ
| ten by Mr.. Conkling, as the date shows tina
| the letter was written Just six days after thu
| close of an exasperating personal debate will
| Conkling, and if Mr.. Conkling had intended
| it to say anything of the kind he would hav'
been apt to say it then and not Immediately
| afterwsrd in private letter. The whole af
l fair was not in accordance with Mr.. Conk
| ling's habitusl courage in debate. He hat
| never ssen Crandel or Haddock and neve
1 heard the name of either except upon the &C
oesion of his personal debate with Mr.. Conk
ling in April, 1866. His strong impression
| was that they were both officers in New Yorl
| under the enrolment act during the war ant
| that both had been dismissed from the ser
I vice for misconduct.
Regarding the charge that he had mad
money out of the recruiting funds in the wa
he says that it might with equal truth be sal
that he had made money by robbing tn
