Mr.. C. w. Jones, formerly in the EN-
ploy of Mr.. Morrison in the Cosmopolitan
hotel in this city, died at the hospital il
Astoria last night. He had been sick fo
a long time with very violent attack o
typhoid fever. He was aged about 81
years, and we believe has parents residing
in Connecticut. Of Il social, agreeable
temper, he made frieL DIS wherever lie re
sided.
Pioneer: The life-saving station at Fort
Stevens is progressing very nicely and Mr.
Headington has the building about com
pleted save putting on the interior finish
ing. Some OF the windows for the boat
house are rather odd looking, being 312
feet high by AZ feet wide. The windows
in the house average about 4X5 feet. Holt
81 Co. have just finished making sugar
pine doors and window blinds.
Eugene Register: A couple of weeks ago
we mentioned in these colums that de-
tective from Portland had been in the city
looking Tor a theft who had stolen DR..
Giesy's horse and buggy from Portland.
He succeeded in capturing him last week
at Redding, California, haying followed
him to that place. On lis way through
the country the thief also stole horse
from Mr.. Hawley, who resides near Cres-
well, and that, too, was recovered.
Teller: Wm. Caldwell received news
| this week from his stock ranch which Is
| about % miles south of here Oh Snake
river, that upwards of $50 of his finest
! horses were missing and could not be
found and are supposed to have been
stolen and driven out of the country. He
has offered reward of $3.50 for the re-
| covery of the horses and thieves. Stock
men both here and on Salmon and Snake
rivers should use every possible means to
ascertain who the guilty parties are
and bring them to justice.
From gentleman who arrived from
Portland it is learned that Gibbs, the col
| ored porter, who shot McDevitt and his
son, at Portland. has been captured at The
Dalles. The police authorities of Port
to avoid process from Judge Lynch's
court. Lynching is too good for such
men.-As storia transcript. This is MIS-
take. Our officers have been on the look
out for Gibbs; but so far have been un-
able to catch him. In fact, it is very ap-
parent the culprit has never reached this
city.
Statesman: That the Willamette valley
is admirably adapted TO the cultivation of
tObacro many successful experiments
prove, and the value of the product has
frequently been poiuted out by well quail
fled persons. The consumption of tobac-
90 in this fertile valley requires the i'm
portation of large quantities of the weed
and the substitution, as far as possible, of
the home grown leaf will lessen the ex-
pense of smokers, and add materially to
the income of the soil tilleis. Several
fine specimens of tobacco grown in this
valley have been exhibited in Salem with
in the past few weeks.
East Oregonian: Mr.. Walter Hudson,
commercial traveller got on the train at
Baker City last night and failing to Sc
cure berth in the Pullman sleeper, he
purchased the right to lie down in a bunk
in the emigrant sleeper. This morning
he awoke and found himself short $lO0 |
or more in cash. Upon the arrival of the
train in the Pendleton depot, tie theft was |
reported TO Sheriff Houser and he made |
the arrest of man by the name of J.
Corley, q gambler. He was taken to the |
sheritf's office and searched, but nothing |
was found to furnish evidence that he |
committed the deed, so lie was released |
from custody. Mr. Hudson is in the city |
to-day, but lie can furnish no further clew
to the theft. 1t is probable that the deed |
was committed by an experienced thief
who passed through the car with an eye
to business.
If the night of the 2Sth of this month
happens to be one of those clear and cold |
October nights which Oregon is frequent
ly blessed with, star gazers who keep
their eyes open will witness vision of
rare beauty. The new moon for this
month will adpear on the 24th instant,
and make her first quarter Oh the 3lst.
On the 2sth there will be CONJUNCTION
with Jupiter, and the New York Times of
the 9th inst, in Its article on THE Plan
cts of October" says that the conjunction
is extremely close and the picture of the
beauty. The conjunction for the rest of
this month will be with Neptune on the
18th, Mars on the 2lst, with Venus on the
x2nd, and on the 23rd with Mercury.
The watchers of the skies, providing the
weather is clear, can enjoy these celestial
phenomena free of charge. If they haye
no telescopes, powerful field, or what is
better. night glasses, will aid them great
ly in their observations.
