THE DEADLY SHOT, GUN.
An Accidental Discharge in the Hands
Of Polk County Young Man
Proves Fatal.

a fine young citizen, will con-
nected, well raised, well married
and we'll settled in life, Mr.. Horace
Hawley of Bethel, met his death in
a most lamentable manner, last
Monday. In the evening at Mccoy,
after hunting for grouse he was
talking to Mrs. Finn and un-
thoughtedly rested his gun ON the
edge of the sidewalk, with his hand
over the muzzle. The gun slipping
from his hand both barrels were,
without moments warning, dis
charged into his abdomen making a
frightful wound, too terrible to
describe in detail. He was at once
taken into Belts drug store,
medical aid and relatives were sum-
moned, but death, which alone
could fully relieve his sutlerings,
took place about 9 o'clock,
This will prove terrible shock to
the family, especially his young
wife, daughter of Hon. Cyrus Smith,
of Amity, his father Hon. J. H.
Hawley, and his devoted mother
who is in poor health. He was
raised in the neighborhood and was
highly esteemed. He was member
of the Christian church, rs are his
parents and other members of the
family. \ little child is left with
the mourning young wife and
mother. The funeral was to take
place to-day. 1t is no idle nor
merely customary phrase we use
when we say that the sympathy of
all who know them viii go out to
the bereaved ones.

Want to be First in the Field.

1t isnot supposable that the prohis
expect to change the political COM
plexion of Oregon, or to elect their
presidential nominees. But they
seem determined to be first in the
field in this campaign. Meetings
have been held in Jefferson, Wood
burn and Silverton, and last night
the Salem prohibition club held its
second open air meeting, at the cor
ner of Commercial and State streets.
A large, miscellaneous crowd was
attracted by the musical prodigies, "
the two little boys of j. G. Robert
son, the ultra prohi of Turner.
Dressed in scarlet uniforms the little
fellows stood up in a carriage and
played on cornet and tuba, almost
as big as themselves. The principal
addresses was deliverd by Rev. J.
W. Hines, San of Jose, Cal, who re-
counted his recent visits, in the East
in the interest of prohibition, to the
Labor Union National Convention,
the New York and Michigan prohi-
bition state conventions, the Fisk
and Brooks ratification meetings, to
Chicago after the republican conven-
ton, and to Grand Master Work
man Powderly and Father Nc
Glynn. Mr.. Hines is very enthus-
iastic and expressed himself as con-
fdent that $4,000 prohibition votes
would be cast in New York, nearly
$4,000 in Michigan, and a great
many more than ever before in Cali
iornia. Prof. Rork followed with
a characteristic talk. Throughout
the proceedings the attention was
good for a street corner, but the faint
response to the few who applauded,
showed that the prohis were in the
minority.

Needed,.-An Aid Society.

The JOURNAL gladly seconds the
suggestion that the usually generous
public of Salem do not let Mr.. Law
and family suffer. He is an in
dustrious man of good character
aud was diligently providing for
his own when the accident at the
saw mill laid him up with n lacerat-
ed knee that may result i'm stiff or
disabled joint. He had hardly be-
come settled among us when this
occurred. This again makes per-
unent the suggestion offered
more than once in these columns
that Salem should have general,
unsectarian aid society. What is
eyerybody's business is nobody's.
If the charitably disposed give in
response to every individual appeal
they will be unduly taxed, and
have no guarantee that their aims
ATE judiciously bestowed. Repre-
sentative men and women from
The various churches and Masonic,
Odd Fellows, Good Templars and
o,her lodges or societies, and our
BUSINESS circles could be elected to
.ook after the general needs Of the
Unfortunate. 4 committee would
appropriately enquireintoindividu
'4ses and make their appeals to the
public without specifically naming
he parties 10 be helped. The county
olfI, churches, benevolent societies
-ld individuals could give them
sline funds to start with. Let some
Nep' 10 taken in this direction

very sociable, anxious to learn
all they could about the great state

not have time to stay over and see
more. They had enjoyed the whole
trip over the railroad. Fruit and
flowers, and pamphlets descriptive
of this town and valley were taken
to the spacial car by DR.. MinthCrne
Superintendent McElroy and others.

Salem Enterprise.

The people of Salem are perhaps
now more wide awake on the sub
ject ofimmigration than ever before.
All kinds of means are being taken
to advertise their vicinity. Nearly
every train from the south is full of
tourists going east 10y the northern
route. They are met at the depot
with great baskets of luscious fruits
for them to sample, and sometimes
an agent is sent up to Albany to
meet them and say, that ifthey will
stop over from the morning TO the
afternoon train, carriages will be at
their command to view the sights
about the capital city. Such treat
ment is ike bread cast upon the
waters, or as good seed sown upon
good soil-there will be a paying

Gives Himself up.

William Davis, who committed a
deadly assault on Layton Tindle,
bv striking him over the head with
a stake while at work threshing
near Ballston, Polk county, last
Friday, came out of hiding
yesterday, and gave himself up to
the authorities at Perrydale, and
was taken to Dallas for examination.
Tindle was a little better yesterday,
and was able to speak and ask
where he was. To-day he is worse
and cannot recover. This is a sad
commentary on the folly and crime
Of letting anger break through all
restraints, whatever the provoca-
ton.
