Mxsterious Death.

The La Grande Journal contains this
account Of the death of F. M. Watson an
old and highly respectable citizen of that
section: "Mrs. Watson came to this city
last Saturday to visit Ter daughter, Mrs.
Bey, and as her husband did not call for
her she became uneasy and hired team
yesterday to return home. When she
reached her home she in company with the
man who drove the team repaired to the
house, but no one was there. The bed
was mussed indicating that Mr. Watson had
been occupying 1t. The dairy appliances
were carefully looked after and everything
went to show that he had been around.
The alarm was given to the neighbors and
it was developed that he had not been seen
since Monday. The premises including the
well were searched, the pastures and other
places and finally the body was found in
corner of the cow pasture. Its appearance
indicated he had been dead at least forty
eight hours. So far as the Journal can
learn there were no marks on the body in
dicating foul play. He had for years been a
sufferer from an abscess in the side and un-
doubtedly this was the cause of his death.

Different Views OF John La Political
Aspirations.

The chief obstacle to Johns preten.
tions is that Hon. Joseph O'Nei!, the
present representative of the district,
wants to succeed himself, besides large
number OF Democratic bosses want a
chance TO secure congressional bonors
tor past services. No one really believes
he has any chance even at the nomina-
tion, and both parties unite IN denounc-
ing him Tor wanting TO secure it.
From directly different standpoints
the Republicans consider it an insult to
the State, and accuse him OF being every
thing from slough" up.
Congressman Lodge says, ut is pre-.
posterous idea" Governor Ames de-
clares Hes joking Hon. Elijah
Morse asserts His nomination would
prove Republicanism a failure" Lieu
tenant-governor Bracket adds, "Thc
nomination would kill his party" May
or Hart says "It's a joke put up by the
New York papers,"
As for the Democrats, they ure mad
because Sulhvan's Claim for recognition
by the Democratic party threatens TO
drive the American Democrats out of the
panty. Hon. Pat Collins says, sullivan
is joking" Hon. J. O'Neil declares,
"rm too modest to discuss my self-an-
nounced successor" Ex.mayor O'Brien
adds, "Sullivan Is being led to make
Ounce of himself" Hon. H. MCGUIRE
intlmates, HE is suffering from very
big bead"
Sullivan is generally credited with
having given the Republicans big argu-
ment in the coming campaign against
the Democracy, and the leaders of the
latter are mad at the slogger for his
claim for recognition. Many think Sui
livan was put up to it by the New York
Sun as practical joke on Boston.

The Great Exposition.

On the 26th of September, the greatest
exposition ever held on the Pacific coast
will be opened In Portland, and will con-
tinue for full month. The association has
expended S250,0OO on the building and
grounds, and every available inch of the
six and one. half acres of floor space in the
mammoth building has been taken by ex-
hibitors. Liberati, the greatest living cor.
netist, with band of fifty of the best
musicians of New York will furnish the
finest music yet heard on the coast A re-
duction of railroad fares on all lines has
been secured, and no doubt thousands of
people from all over the northwest will take
this opportunity to visit Portland and see
its mammoth exposition. The great live
stock show, which will be held from Octo-
ber l4th to 10Th, will also attract great
many people.

The first copy of the illustrated weekly
of the Pacific Coast has reached our table,
and we must say that it surpasses all our
expectations. No pictorial journal in the
world is superior to this number OF the
Vest Shore, and the thought that it is to be
weekly visitor is a very pleasant one. The
number before US contains a graphic sketch
in colors, entitled Running Gauntlet of
Fire in the Cascades" and is very strik-
ing and artistic picture of railway train
dashing through forest fire. There are
number of other illustrations and illustra-
ted articles, but by far the finest picture we
have seen in any journal Is the beautiful
engraving which occupies two pages in the
centre of the number, with the title of
Last Day Of the Season." In IT'S drawing,
grouping and coloring 1t Is simply superb.
Ii this is what the West Shore is going to
give us, and we are promised such treat
every week, We will always look forward to
its coming with pleasant satisfaction. Such
an elegant and artistic Journal as this will
be in great demand everywhere, especially
with those who feel an interest in the grand
scenery of the west and the graphic sketch
es of Pacific Coast incidents it will contain.

The Oregon Pacific.


Work on the Oregon Pacific railroad is
being rapidly pushed forward. A large
force of men have been put to work and
the work on the line will be pushed ahead
all through the winter. 1t is said that
active work on the road was delayed in the
earlier part of the season by certain nego-
tiations pending between the managers of
the Oregon Pacific company and the Chicago
and Northwestern people, but now it IS
understood that arrangements are all sue
cessfully completed for pushing the road
through to an ca ,tern connection at Boise
City without any further stoppage. There
is no further doubt as to the fact that the
company means business from this time for
ward, and is now in position to carry this
important undertaking to its final compile
tion.

Single Tax.

After cutting out the editorial mention
of the proposed visit of Henry George and
DR.. McGlynn to Oregon, Mr.. c. S. Jackson,
of the East Oregonian, writes US the follow
ing personal letter:
1t is reported that Henry George
and DR.. McGlynn will visit Oregon for
the purpose of forming a single-tax
party In this state. This year would
be very auspicious time for these
theorists to visit Wasco and Sherman
counties, as our farmers would duly
appreciate tax on their lands, while
the aggregate wealth Of the cities
would go scot free. We do not know
of better opportunity to illustrate
the fairness (D of the single-tax ideas
of these reformers than the present
time, and we hope they will come to
Eastern Oregon this fall.
Dear MicheN:-For your personal per-
usal will state that you have vely er-
roneous idea concerning the single tax'
and one which l possessed myself. 1t
may startle you, but the "single tax"
means less taxation on farm lands and
more on the aggregate wealth of the cit
les" l am sure if you Will examine into
the "theory" you will see this truth. The
"single tax" is panacea for the centrali-
cation of wealth, because Its aim is to
give to the producer all he earns. If it
brings about this result the monopolizer,
the speculator, the usurer and that ilk will
have to go. The producer can not he
damaged by theory" that proposes to
give HIM what he earns and all he earns
would respectfully request you to give
the theory the attention il deserves and
your bitterness against it, your prejudice
rather, will be removed as mine was re-
moved. The "single tax" is too narrow
name for the idea when once its broad
ness and mprehensiveness is seen and
felt. l am an earnest worker in the new
crusade, because feel that the principles
at stake are those for the best protection
and Development of mankind. They
mean freedom. If you deem it necessary
and worth the space you can use this let

A Merchants Wife the Bono of Contention.
A Denunciation.
A well known merchant who has been greatly
benefited by Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla, desired
20 give it to his wife, who was very delicate, but
out OF caution first consulted his physician, DR..
W. H. Griswold of $50 Market street. The doctor,
who is one of our leading practitioners objected,
saying he had never seen q sarsaparilla that did
not contain potash, which thinned the blood;
that his patient did not have any vitality to lose,
and that what delicate people need is not de-
creased vitality, but more blood. He consented
when assured that joys Vegetable sarsapariila
was directly opposed to the old mistaken blood
thinning idea of other sarsaparillas, and that on
the contrary by specific vegetable Alternatives 1t
stimulated the excretory organs, promoted diges-
ton, and repaired nutrition, hence created new
blood and was the very thing for feeble people.
The above explains the hundreds OF cases in
which aged, enfeebled, delicate and run down
people, have been built up by joys Vegetable
