An Eel Yarn.

One OF the most novel sights in the
spring Of the year at the rocks of the
Willamette Falls is the swarms of gyrat-
ing GELS. They are freshness itself, and
show a low order of intelligence. If YOU
put your hand in the water over the GELS
or spit on il, instantly they are gone.
But poke stick down among the shaky
things and they will not notice it. The
sense of smelling seems to be their main
guard against danger. Like salmon, they
do their level best to dart up the rocks in
order to ascend the river, and with good
success. Says fisherman: 81 have seen
as many as hundred bushels of cells
hanging OH the rocks at one time by the
suckers of their mouths. They would
wiggle and fling up their tails and by the
momentum thus obtained, letting 90 with
their suckers, jump up about six inches
higher. l caught about forty barrels last
season, that l sailed and sold to the
Columbia fishermen for bait. I picked
them off the rocks with a fishhook tied
to a pole. l started at the bottom row
of cells and would pick OFF barrels of them.
The upper rows hadn't sense enough to
perceive the enemy. 1 have caught cells
in the hcadwaters of the Santiam, in the
Cascade Mountains. Suppose they had

LEBANON, O., Oct. 5.-The committee
investigating the financial affairs OF
this county made its report to Judge
O'Neal to-day. 1t goes back over a
period of fourteen years and shows a
total grand larcency of something like
Sl25, 900. For three months this COM
mittee has been industriously at work
unearthing accumulating evidences OF
Republican rascality.
The Republicans who are in hot watel
over exposure of their criminality are
AL. Graham, the fugitive ex-auditor
Charles Coleman, who was removed
from Office several months ago and
bonded in the sum of $52, 900; M. A
Jameson, a leading lawyer and Repub'
lican candidate for representatives; Lee
s. Dunham, president of the Mason
bank and James S. Totten wealthy
farmer, These men have all been cOun
ty treasurers.
The stealing began under Totten II
1873. whose shortage is but SIS, 900
Jameson, who succeeded him in 1879
stole 500, 900 by false and fraudulent
vouchers, except So, 900 which was stol
en- bodily from the treasury. He ls now

expected that the grand jury will b.

of these cases and sta the guilty mel
on their way to the pen. 1t is furthe
rumored that Coleman will, if pushed
to the wall, make some revelation
that will tear things wide open.
