BROUGHT DOWN BIG GAME.
Old Chicago Financiers Victims of
the Post Swindle.

CHICAGO. March b. Special Telegram to
THE BEE. The developments in the Post
swindle were astounding to Chicago business
men. That so careful financier as Albert
Munger should have been taken in is amazing.
Now comes the story that he vice president
of one of the largest banking institutions in
the city is another sucker TO the extent of
nearly 100000. The cashier of another bank
is short Sl5, 900 on the deal. In addition To
this it is asserted that he was so we'll gulled
that he allowed his name to be used as an en-
dorsement of the "bureau." That Post made
an enormous haul there is no longer any
doubt and the only question in the minds of
tinanciers is how much over $200,00 he got
away with. An inventory of his private sta
BILE and dog kennel shows that these two
fancics cost Mr.. Post nearly $4,000.
A dispatch from Washington says that
Mrs. Post arrived there yesterday and is
completely broken down and without funds.
She refuses, however, to believe that her
husband is guilty as charged and asserts he
will soon return and make things warm for
his traducers She has not heard from him
since February l6, when he wrote her from
New York that his physician said he was
threatened with general Dreak down ana
must have absolute rest. therefore he was
going away for a time where nobody could
find him and where the cares of business
could not worry him. He would not even
tell, his wife where he was going, but she
thinks he will turn up all right.

The OREGON Pacinc.

Work on the Oregon Pacific rail-
road is being rapidly pushed for
ward. A large force Of men have
been put to work and the work on
the line will he pushed ahead all
through the winter. The Albany
Herald in this mornings issue says
that It has been generally known
that active work on the road was
delayed in the earlier part of The
season by certain negotiations pend
ing between the managers OF the
Oregon Pacific company ana the
Chicago d Northwestern people, but
now il is understood that arrange
ments are all successfully completed
for pushing the road through to an
eastern connection at Boise City
without ahy further storpage.
There il no further doubt AS to the
fact that the company means bust
ness from this time forward, and is
now in Il position TO carry this inn
portant undertaking to its final
completion, an event which the
people of Albany have foryears been
deeply interested, and fer which
they have given generous and ma
tprjul aid.

CAPITAL CITY RAILWAY COMPANY
Electric Cars TO be Running in salem
on Chri.tmas Day-Its Assured.

1t may sound Il little premature to
say that the Capital City railway
company, will have their road in fulI
operation inside of three months and
electric cars running from CONNER
cial street, TO the asvlum and peni-
tentiary and return on Christmas
day, December 25th, 1889, but the
whole thing is assured.
The men who are interested in
this line are shrewd men, possessed
of sufficient means and pluck to not
delay the matter any longer than
possible.
They have already secured the
right-of-way OH the proposed route,
which by the way, is the most Sc
lect route for passenger traffic II! the
city and the Only thing that yet re-
mains to be done before starting
actual work is TO decide upon what
system they will put on.
Rev. T. s. Knight, who is super
intendent of the road has gone to
Portland, Seattle and Tacoma and
he may possibly visit San Francisco,
to examine the different lines IN
operation and when he returns q
speedy decision will be made as to
the full arrangements. The neces-
sary funds are lying in the banks
and there will be no drawback on
this source.
J.. Kuhn, one of the projectors
was seen last evening, and verified
the above statement. He was very
sanguine over the matter and said:
'There is large travel to the asy-
lum and penitentiary every day,
much larger indeed than many citl-
Zens in Salem are aware Of. | stand
in situation TO know what | am
talking about, and | firmly believe
that the line proposed by Us will he
the best paying street car line in
Salem" " Several had crowded
around by this time, and Mr. Kuhn
said to "a question put to him, as to
how soon the line would be built.
Gentlemen, let me give you some
thing to digest. That line will be
in full operation inside Of three
months"
The JOURNAL will be on the alert
and report any new developments
in the case az well as many Others
that are springng forth to the sur
face.
God said, "Let there be light and
there was light" Sa!em's business
men have said, Salem must be a
great city, and are putting forth
their efforts to make it such. Lo,
and behold, the city springeth forth
in improvements and enterprises
that even awaketh the moss backs
from their RipVan Wrinkle slumbers.

Yocum, who left here about ten days

says the Observer. Mr.. Iocum had
been sick for several days, and just
before leaving Dallas he borrowed Il
sum of money and said he was going
to- Portland on business; and his
prolonged absence leads people to
believe he has either become men,
tally deranged, has been foully dealt
with or skipped the country. He

many interested parties by showing
up, ii he is in the land of the living.

1T WAS A SUCCESS.
The oregon Exhibit nc Milwaukee q
Crowning success-"Capt. Cook and
Commander McElroy" Home.

Oregon, the promised land! This
sentence will be uttered by thous-
unds and thousands of people who
attended the q. A. r. Encampment
at Milwaukee.
Commander McElroy accompan-
led by his wife and son and Mr.. and
Mrs. B. s. Cook, returned home last
evening from Milwaukee, and when
seen this morning were looking in
the best of spirits, and have got the
"hand shaking down so fine that
they can outdo the president.
The Oregon exhibit was the crown
ing feature of the whole encamp-
ment. The gentlemen having the
thing IN charge understood what
they were doing, and their efforts
were well rewarded. During the
week they were there it is estimated
that over 10000 people visited the
headquarters of this wonderful show
and were completely carried away
by the wonderful display. Thous-
ands Of people have tasted Of Ore
gon fruit and have samples of Ore
gon grain that never would have
happened only for this trip.
The Oregon delegation for three
days paraded the principal streets OF
Milwaukee headed by fine band.
The delegation followed the band
i'm cabs loaded with fruit which was
scattered among the surging crowd
of people on either side of the street
who scrambled to secure q prune
peach or pear from Oregon as If II
were worth its weight in gold. In
each of the cabs was a good speak.

telling of the display on exhibition
at the headquarters and also Other
matters relating to Oregon. Tn,
whole thing was perfect success
Texas and Wisconsin, had display
on each side of the Oregon head
quarters but as both showed up Sc
badly to the side of the Oregon ex
hibit they, as the saying goes "shut
up shop" and drowned their sor
rows by mingling with the roaming
crowds.
The Oregon exhibit will remain
where it il under the charge of G.
w. Mitchell, of Yamhill, until Oct.
5th, when il will be removed to the
reading room of the Board of Trade
ut Chicago, where it will remain.
This is the first time that any ex-
hibit of any description has been
allowed in this room but .as the
board was so completely surprised
mt the magniflcence of the display
they cheerfully consented to allow
il the space mentioned.
The word "Oregon," was in the
mouth of every visitor at the en-.
campment and it was the best adj
vertisement the state has ever had
The citizens of that city did every
thing in their power to make every
thing comfortable for the visitors
and no cut-throat prices were de-
manded. Mr.. Cook and Mr.. McEl'
roy are loud in their praise for the
treatment received.
