The Lebanon express. (Lebanon, Linn County, Or.) 1887-1898, 1888-04-06

SOMETHING Nsw.-The Sherwood
steel harness Is entirely something
new and novel, and oar go-ahead live
man, G. w. Crnson deserves credit for
irst introducing them in Lebanon. 1t
is so constructed that you do not need,
either loag tugs, traces, singietrees or
doubletrecs, and the praeticabslits of
the thing, is that the team that pulls
the plow is less encumbered, and viii
do the work with greater ease. This
is certainly cheap arrangement, and
seems to us. will meet the appreciation
of all. Farmers, go and see, and re-
member that our live hardware men
propose to duplicate prices il Albany,
or anywhere else.

NICE CAKE TaAT.-Wesl Wouldn't
we like 20 see the cook that baked the
cake, brought by j. ]. Swan nom Kan
sas. Ifshe is to be judged by the cake
she has forestalled herself as extra, and
we viii give her thrice happy well
come to Lebanon. We are glad to
learn that Mr.. Swan is pleased with
our country, and has determined to
purchase home among US. Farmers
who have land 10 sell, would do well to
place them in the hands of live agent

the EMPRESS. Every week rolls by
good large addition 10 this paper. We
are determined to do our best to merit
the support of AL, of every class.

and crossed the plains the last year of

that no state ticke will be placed
in the field, but that the fight will
be made for congressman and
Presidential electors. SO far as

ference for Presidential candidate

A WlFE'S CRUEL, FATE.
STRUCK DEAD BY HER HUSBAND
AT HER HOME.
A Grccnvillc News Correspondent RE
ports Ghastiy Murder in Eickcns.
The Slayer Makes Confcssion

PICKENS G. III. March G.--Ncws
reached here late yesterday eve
ming of II horrible and diaboiical
murder. On Sunday night Tom
Alexander, who lives ten or twelve
miles from here, in the Grow creek
section of this county, instantly
killed his wife with an axe.
The facts and circumstances, as
tod by one who was present at the
inquest yesterday, were rs follows:
Alexander and his wife had had
some words about putting wood and
pine on the fire. Ho would throw
great quantities of wood and pine
on the fire and she would take t
out. Alexander is an invalid, and
it seems that his wife and children
had to gather wood to burn. They
tgfumbled about the wood and pine
until he became enraged at his wife,
and as he SAID, she Dire : stick of
wood and attempted to knock him
on the head. Whercupon he picked
up an axe and struck her behind
the right ear, which DR.. Earle says
was sfiicicnt to cause her death.
Not being satisfied with that blow
after she had fallen, he cut her
throat with the axe, seaving the
jugular vein, carotid artery and
the neck bone. DIR. Earle says that
by reason of the bodily afflictions
of Alexander, his mind has become
impaired to some extent.
Alexander was examined as a
witness before the coroner's jury
and said he had killed her, but that
he did so in self defence. He was
asked on the stand if he did not feel
a femorsc of conscience about it,
and he replied that he did and that
he could not express his feelings.
The jury rendered q verdict In ac-
cordance with the above facts. NJ
,eXandcris about fifty-fve years old
and his wife was about forty. They
had several children.

Artificial Agcing OF whisky.

A way has been found OF agcing
whisky artifcialIy. a dealer showed tho
writer two samples of what he called tho
straight article; one was made in
1885, tho other in July, 1881 They
wero equally good, he said, in color, bou-
quet, taste and every other quality. and
yet the 1887 sample was sold at $40 less
barre! than the other. In other words,
the whisky makers can now furnish a
three months article equal in every re.
spcct to that which is three years old
BY this process t32r save the thrco
years storage, interest and evaporation.
The purchaser generally gets the benefit
of this. The now process consists briefly
of rocking the barrels day and night on
patented cradles" Chalred barrels aro
used, ms is customary that IL to say. tho
barrel is burned out before the whisky ia
put in, thus converting tho inner surface
into charcoal. The constant motion for
three months disslpatei the fusel oil and
imparts the rich color which new whisky
has hitherto never had legitimately,-

They Can Only Talk. ANYWAY.

Leaving out OF sight the unfathomablc
corruption into which 1t (the Republican
party) had fallen before its exit, the un-
biushing ctfrontcry with which it allowed
the public domain TO be stolcn-an un-
pardonablc crime in n country like this
and the political triCkcry and trclchcry
with which it sunk scores OF millions in n
navy department which left oUr coasts ut
tcrly dcfcnsclcss, we stand face To face
with the fact that tho present policy OF
that party is II menace and u danger to
our industries and commerce.
Are we one country from lakes to gulfs
According to such trusted Republicans as
sherman, Blaine and Foraker, no! The
war is not yet over for them. They still
fan the flames OF sectional bitterness in
order to rcacqurc political supremacy
The old wounds which time is healing
they keep open, the treaty OF peace be
tween north and south they tear to tat
tcrs, and instead of leading the way to n
magnificent future they seek to rchabili.
