Howard SncGnmbs.

Frank Howard, the desperate
five year convict who cut his hand
off to avoid work, has relented and
now says that as soon as he is able
he will go to work, His arm is pain

w. Saunders, in the absence of med
ical attendants, carefully looks after
the bandages, and sees that all goes
well. Howard until this morning
declared that his right hand should
follow his left before he would per
form labor, but calm afterthought
andpainful meditation have brought
the convict to a realization of his pos
ition and he has decided it is better
to succumb.

THE GOVERNOR IGNORED.
The Railroad Commissioners Don't
Giye up the Ghost.

Yesterday evening, contrary to
general expectation, the board Of
railroad commissioners conducted
their regular monthly meeting. 1t
will be remembered that the COVER
nor peremptorily discharged the
commission few weeks ago, but as
the commission was not a thing Of
his creation, the members of the
board refused TO be "knocked out"
by one whom they term a disinter-
ested party.
This is the position Commissioners
Slater, Waggoner and Secretary
Bell find themselves occupying, and
accordingly they were engaged in
transacting the routine work of the
board yesterday evening. They
hold that as their existence is due to
an act of the legislature their decapi-
tation can be performed only by the
same power. Here arises a nice lit
tie point The commission consider
as alive, while the COVER
nor looks upon them as dead, with the
legislature as but an interested spec
tator as yet.

How Portland Was Named.

1t is not generally known how
the city ofPortland received her name
and the following note was related
to JOURNAL reporter last evening
by Chas. Hellenbrand. A man by
the name of Frank Pettigo and his
partner took up claim where Port
land is now located. When a small
settlement was started the question
arose as to what it should be called.
Mr.. Pettigo insisted on naming it
after his native town Portland, Me-,
but his partner insisted on some
other name. The matter was settled
by tossing up a coin, and Pettigo
was the lucky man, therefore they
named it Portland.

The Annual Meeting.

Tonight the Salem Board of Trade
will hold their regular annual ses-
sion at the council chamber. The
meeting will be one of great interest,
as several amendments to the con-
stitution will be proposed, as well
as the consideration of the woolen
mill project. Tomorrow night it is
thought the citizens meeting will
be held, after which the work of
raising the subsidy will be proceed
ed with. 1t is quite certain that
there will be very little trouble ex-
perienced in securing the $4,000.
Salem realizes what a grand thing
for her a wooden mill will be and
her capitalists and business men are
going to raise the bonus in short
order.
The constitution of the Board of
Trade will perhaps, as it should, be
amended by providing for the crea-
ton of the secretary to whom should
be paid a salary. This is proper.
Hire a secretary and better work is
assured. Make it somebody's .busi-
ness to answer the correspondence
and the results will be for the best.

HE WAS AN INSANE MAN.
Dearborn The Drugged Man Taken
to the Asylum.

F. w. Dearborn, the man who
says he was drugged on Saturday
night, has not yet recovered from
the effects of the dope administered
him by "his old acquaintance" /"
He passed a very miserable night.
He but recently arrived in
Salem from st. Johnsburg, VT.
He says there is not a reasonable
doubt but that he was drugged and
for what purpose other than robbery
cannot be imagined, the "morning
clip" to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Mr.. Dearborn was seen by a
JOURNAL reporter and gave the facts
as presented in Mondays JOURNAL,
but wished the matter kept quiet as
he was a stranger here and its pub
licity he thought might injure him
in securing work.
1t transpires that Dearborn is an
insane patient who had been releas-
ed as cured. He came to Oregon
three months ago and has been in
the asylum ever since. His little
son was in the orphans home. This
morning the officials at the asylum,
having learned of his misfortune and
illness from last nights JOURNAL,
took him once more to the Asylum
for continued treatment.

SilyertOn Goes Dry.

The city council of Silverton met
last night and refused to renew the
dram-shop license of the one saloon
that is now running ngthere, the license
of which expires on Wednesday.
This will leave SilYerton without a
saloon. There is considerable objec-
ton made to the action of the coun-
Gil in this matter, as it leaves the
city without her customary revenue
of $500 per year, The vote of the
council stood four against the saloon
to one for il.

of convict uniform as mementoes of
journey through the institution,
upon leaving this home for erring

him on the shoulder and reminds
that he is about to violate the rules.
At first glance the rule seems an ar
bitrary one, but when it is consider
ed how many people visit the prison

of bearing off a relic, the reason is
obvious. The sum total of metal

form is not dangerous, though it is marked
by symptoms which are painful, and that
under other circumstances would he alarm
ing. In many cases they are as severe as
if premonitory of typhoid fever or some
eruptve fever. The pains are mainly
muscular, attacking the back of the neck,
lower back, loins and thighs. The muscles
are sore and every bone in the body has
separate ache The temperature often
rises to 1903, with pulse ran ging from lOI
to 1870. Sometimes there is "a bronchial
