EXTENSIVE BUSINESS. - Those
rbo do not take pains to make per
anal investigation are not properly
.rare of the extensive and beauti-
mlly arranged business houses now
Existing in Salem. One of the most
notjeeable of these Just now is that
of Kraussc Bros, at 275 Commercial
street. in Brey's new block. The
rom is 80 feet deep and % feet
wide with lc-foot ceiling. Fifteen
feet in the back part is partitioned
of for repair shop and the balance
from floor to ceiling on either side is
filed with Il stock of boots and
shoes that would be creditable to
any city of any size. 1t is arranged,
too, in regular metropolitan style,
and the whole store is kept in the
most attractive order. The firm OF
Krausse g. Klein has been fully dis
solved and the three Krausse broth
ers are doing business at the place
above described, having no interest
at any other point. They are gen,
tlemen it is always pleasant to meet
and the person who cannot be ac-
commodated from their present inl'
mense stock must be difficult tc
please.

THE BRIDGE NATTER.
Adjourned Joint Session Of the
County Courts.

The county courts of Marion and
Polk have been in session since l:30
p. m. and there is considerable ex-
element among the people of Sa-
lem to know what will be the out
come. 1t was learned Immediately
upon the arrival of the Polk county
men that the statement of the silua-
ton made in the EVENING jour-
NAL of Saturday was substantially
correct.
A COMPROMISES REACHED.
After consultation between the
courts the Polk county commission
ers and judges advanced from their
offer of SIG, ,666.67 of last Saturday to
$40, 10000, or one-third of the $4,000
of the contract. The city of Sal,m
is to pay for the foot bridge or side
walk and Marion county for super
visor.
THE CONTRACTOR,
Mr.. Hoffman, informed JOURNAL
reporter that the water was too high
at present to put in piling, but that
they would get the material on the
ground and begin work within so
days and Major Williams made a
memorandum to that effect. The
bridge will be completed if water
will permit,in time for the fall trade.
CONGRATULATIONS
were extended all around, as the
contract was SO happily closed up
and all were satisfied. Great praise
is due Judge Shaw, the Marion
county commissioners. and Mayor
Williams for their energy and devo-
| ton in the whole matter. Judge
Stouffer anG Commissioners Nc.
Lepch and McBee. of Polk county
are equally entitled to credit for
carefully and in so public spirited
Il manner meeting the situation.
Portland Telegram: 1t ia probable
that John l.. Sullivan and Peter
Jackson will meet in the prize ring ir
San F:ancisco in few months. II
would be fortunate thing, indeed
for the country If the black fellow
should succeed in whipping th'
champion. Sullivan demands tina
the entire purse $4,000 shall go tc
the winner and it is probable this
will be agreed to. Then shoulc
Jackson knock the big fellow out
Sullivan would be without eithe
reputation or money, and one
down he would receive innumerabl'
kicks and cuffs to place him lower
possible. In fact, he would neve
he heard of again. If Jackson is tn
winner he will, so he declares, tax
his money and go home to Austra
LA, where he will remain. A dealt
blow will thus be dealt prize fight
ingin this country and consequentl
we say, in the hopes that Sulllvai
will be whipped, let the fight come
off.

MEETING OF COMMITTEE.-There
will be meeting of the Fourth of
July committee this evening to de-
eide upon the proper sub-comittees
and the general plan to be followed.
The intention is to make the celebra-
ton elaborate and attrac tive, and
the probabilities now are that there
will be large numbers present from
Corvallis. Albany and other neigh
boring cities. One feature which
the committee will endeavor to Sc
cure and which would be a very
pleasant one, is the participation OF
the Knights of Pythias, of the sew
eral towns, to appear in the process
sion on horseback. The regular
program will appear when decided
upon. 'i.A

Come and get them, said johnson,
holding them out with his left hand. One
of the Mexicans spurred forward, and as
he was about to take the keys the jailer
shot him. Then retreating, he opened
fire on the gang, but thirty revolvers
riddled him with bullets, and the outlaws
hacked his body to pieces with their
sabers. Cortina released the inmates of
the jail, who were nearly all Mexicans of
the worst type. One of the latter had a
grudge against the prison blacksmith,
Morris, for nc other reason than because
he had forged the fellows letters. Morris
was called from his bed and ordered to
knock the shackles off all of them, and
when he had finished this unwelcome job
the prisoner mentioned deliberately blew
the poor blacksmith's brains ont.
"Quite a number of CT liens were muir
dered before the days work was done
and many stores were robbed"
AS a matter of fact, this outrage out
lawed Cortina-that is, as far as the
United States and Texas were concerned.
When Macmillan came along to attempt
the conquest of Mexico, Cortina was soon
in the saddle and practicing guerrilla war
fare against the usurper. He actually
performed great service for the home gov
eminent, and in return received a COM
mission of full brigadier-general in the
Mexican army. Soon afterward he be-
came governor of the State of ~Tamaulipas,
and when holding this exalted position he
encouraged the worst men in his province
to raid across the Rio Grande and steal
cattle and sheep from the Americans.
While he was governor of Tamaulpis
the grand jury at Brownsville at one sit
ting indicted him no less than twenty
seven times for murder, each one being a
true and personal b II against the Mexican
governor for separate offenses. But the
Mexican government, as well advanced
and as fair and just as it is to-day, cannot
see in this arch rascal very much to con-
denim for he is now roaming the streets
of Mexico a free man and without re-
straint, while the result and effect of his
crimes against Americans will not be for
gotten nor overcome for years to come
