Oregon State Weather Bureau in ce-opera-
tion aoith U. S. Signal Service, central Office,
Portland, Oregon. For ioeek ending May
8, 1890:
The temperature for the past week has
been above the normal. Since January lst,
it has averaged below the normal.
There was no rainfall during the week.
F.om January lst to date more than the
average amount has fallen; from July l,
1889 to date about the average has fallen.
The amount of sunshine has been above the
average for the week. Almost cloudless
weather has prevailed during the past seyen
and no frosts are reported. This is the
second week of good growing weather this
season and all vegetation has shown the
beneficial effect OF the weather. While the
lowIands are generally moist yet, general
rain would be beneficial.
Winter and spring sown wheat is reported
to be in excellent condition. Prospects
were never better at this season for boun-
wheat districts. Early spring sown grain
is up; the late sown would be materially
benefited by rain.
The weather has been especially favorable
bright sunshine have done much towards
advancing the fruit past its first stage, liable
to be injured by frost. The peaches and apple
crop will be less than an average; other
fruits and berries give promise of immense
yields. Many acres of new orchards will
come into bearing this year.
In Washington county maple, alder and
hazel are in leaf-one month later than last
year. Ground is in excellent condition. In
Clackamas, the ground is drying out. On
the uplands of the Willamette valley rain
especially is needed. In Benton, at the Ag-
ricultural College, grasses are heading out;
garden peas quite high; radishes and lettuce
growing finely; strawberries as large as q
dime; apple trees in full bloom. Oak trees
have generally leafed out in Western Ore
gon. In Douglas county, in neighborhood

grape vines budding out, one month later
than last year.
In Eastern Oregon sheep-shearing is in
full sway. The clip is good and wool
weighing well. Plums and pruues in the
interior sections in blossom. The grain
prospects throughout this section were never
better. Spring grain is generally up.

Several weeks ago mention was made of
an old gentleman named Athen who started
across the desert from the Melirum place
coming north, during the deep snow in JAM
uary. and not having been heard OF since.
On Wednesday of this week Med Moore,
the mail carrier from Silver lake, found the
remains of the old man lying near log on
Pine ridge about Is miles this side OF the
Meldrum place. From the appearance of
the body, Mr.. Moore thinks the old man
had become fatigued travelling OF foot
through the snow, had lain down to rest,
fallen asleep and frozen to death. He had
no relatives in this county and little is
known of his past history more than he was

CRAZY FOLKS FLOGGED.
VIENNA, May 4.-The entire staff of
the doctors, superintendent and wardens
of the great government insane asylum at
Pressburg have been placed under arrest
in consequence of disgraceful acts of cruel
ly and barbarity brought to light by a
committee on investigation. The latter
had been appointed by the minister OF the
interior in Difference to popular outcry
concerning the surprisingly frequent
deaths that took place in the establish
ment.
The scandal attracts wide spread attcn-
tion in consequence of the high social rank
and prominence of many of the victims.
Thus the Countess of La lady who,
previous to her dementia, was well known
as great beauty in court and official
circles here, and whose husband died
few months ago, was shown by the testi-
mony of certain of the wardens themselves
to have been tried by her magnificent long
hair to a window tree, and after having
been stripped to have been flogged and
shamefully i'll treated by several male and
female attendants.
Joseph Van Zolifal, a well-known
pianist, died two hours after being sub
jected to a flogging, in the course of
