native of Alabama and aged about
81 years at the time of his death.
He removed to Indiana with his
parents and was educated at Indian
apolis Seminary. Some thirty years
since he founded the Evansville
Journal, which he built up until it
was an eight-page daily paper and n
power in that section of Indiana.
For eight years Mr.. Thayer was
postmaster. In 1888 he came to
Portland, and for two years was edi-
tor and half owner of the News. In
1887 he returned to his old home in
rather feeble health. Mr.. Thayer
was an honorable intelligent,
and genial gentleman, a kind
father and husband, an able journal
ist, and won the friendship and
esteem of all who came in contact
with him. Mr.. Thayer madeanum-

FRIGHTENED WHITE CAPS.

The Fact That the Law is Thoroughly
Aroused Makes Them Hunt Their
Holes.
NEW ALBANY, Ind, Aug. ". "A we'll
informed gentleman from Crawford
county says; 1t is known that the White
Cap organization in Crawford county held
9 meeting near Marietta a few nights
ago, and after heated discussion re-
solved to disband the organization. This
action is said to have been brought about
by the fear that Attorney General Mich
ener had become advised of the inside
workings of the organization through
some of the members who had been
promised immunity on condition that
they give up all the facts conn ected with
the many outrages in that county and
also in Orange county by the hands Of
the regulators or White Caps. The gen.
tleman says that the people are thor.
oughly aroused over the outrages and
that the White Caps will be compelled to
hunt their holss if the governor will
show bold front and aid them in their
work. All that is needed is to assure
the people of protection and there will be
plenty of men ready to testify to facts
and the identity Of parties engaged in the
work Of regulating the community. 1t
is said that there will be some startling
developments in few days.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Dak., Aug. 20.-
sThsre was great commotion here when
1t was learned that large band of Sioux
had gone to the Cheyenne country, on
the Tongue river, in defiance Of objec.
tions interposed' by Agent Gallagher.
They left word that they were to attend
sun-dance, but it is feared they have
more serious intentions, as they have
often threatened to join the Cheyennes
and massacre the unprotected whites
along the Tongue aud Powder rivers.
The Indians requested Agent Gallagher
to allow them to go to the Tongue river
country last week, but the latter, sus-
pecting that there would be trouble, re-
fused to permit them to leave the reser.
walton. As soon as it was learned that
the Indians had gone, a telegram was
sent to Gen. Kruger, who wired Col. Dud-
ley at Fort Custer to send out troops at
once to intercept them. In, the after
noon two companies Of First cavalry
started in hot pursuit across the country
to meet the recalcitrant reds. The

The deleterious effect of arsenic upon
the skin was recently discussed in the
Pathological society of London, after a
communication had been read by Mr..
Jonathan Hutchinson. The skin is the
tissue Oh which arsenic has, perhaps, it's
most marked influence. The poison may
spoil the complexion instead Of improv-
ing it, by making 1t muddy and unsightly.
A similar action is exhibited in all parts
of the skin, and may lead to the devel-
opment of soft corns, not warts, on the
palms of the hands and soles of the feet,
where a roughened condition also grows
up under its influence. Mr.. Hutchinson
also expressed the belief that arsenic can
produce epithelial cancer.-Popular Sci
