MEHAMA NOTES
Death From an Overdose of Morphine

Last evening the wife of J. 5. Sor
bin died from the supposed effects Of
an overdose of morphine. Mrs. Sor
bin was an inveterate user of mol'
phine and opium and notwith'
standing constant watchfulness 10y
her husband, she managed by 'un
dergroundN means to keep herself
supplied with these narcotics. Mr.
Sorbin had instituted preliminary
action for a divorce, and this fact
may, perhaps, have excited her to
take an overdose. This case calls foI
a coroner's inquest if my Informal
ton is correct in the premises.
l notice by a communication in
your journal, that the little town
across the river from here (under the
eye of n. Mills esq has been re-
christened, and is now called Ly-
onsville. The original christening
committee consider themselves Off
cially ignored, slightly sat down
upon in thus substituting so COM
mon a name for the unique and
pleasant sounding Podunk. Pod
unk is waiting for the iron horse of

before commencing any "Greeu Bay
Tree' extravaganza.

gineers still continue to ge up the
line of the w. V. & c. r. r.. This
looks like business.

Picnic at independence.

The people of the thriving town
of Independence have been enjoying
two-days season of picnic, since
yesterday morning. Yesterday the
day was passed in trials of speed
among local horses; last evening,
the opera of "Nevada" was given by
local talent, after which the devo-
tees of Terpsichore took possession
of the hall, and the mazy waltz
lasted until well nigh the breaking
of the morn. This morning a
steamer from Corvallis brought E
Co., 2nd regt., Capt. II. NJ. Johnson,
to the scene with many of their
friends, and foot races, bicycle races,
jumping matches, contests for prizes
among the handsome ladies, and
pretty babies made up the pleasures
of the day. A very jolly happy
time was reported as being had.

TAKING SNAP JUDGMENT.

ED. CAPITAL JOURNAL: In the
SilvertOn election on Monday, the
prohibitiOnists made a good display
of strength, tying five of the coun-
Gil, and only lacking two or three
votes to elect the whole ticket. To
save the expense and delay of
another election those candidates
who were tied agreed to pull straws;
but it is now reported that the votes
cast for the prohibitionists are to be
thrown out, because they are print
ed on the wrong kind of paper.
/ don't know who has ordered
this summary way of settling a con-
test, or whether the candidates and
those who supported them with
their ballots will submit to such
suppression. 1t is certainly a daring
attempt to disfTanchise one-half of
a city population because of a trif-
ling irregularity, and l cannot
believe that the voters of Silverton
will submit to it. They did not
print the ballots and voted them in
good faith, and to nullify their
votes because of the carelessness of
some committeeman is too high
handed a proceeding for freemen to
submit to. This may be the Louis
lana method, but it will not suit the
latitude of Oregon.

didates of all the three parties We're
present, at which time the subject
of joint canvass of the county was
discussed. For some reason both

THE stampede from the opera
house during ex-senator Slater's
statistical talk, the Lance attributes

if given in round numbers, but when

sented in detail, their senses are OPP
pressed with too much Enumeration,
and they go outside to rest their ears
and refresh their lungs.
