@ABE' LINC0LN's CABIN.
The Relic to Be Removed to the
City of Chicago.
An Association Purchases tho Historic
Property from n Relative of the Mar
tyr President A Condensed His
tory of tho Place.

Lincoln's cabin is in Chicago and as
soon as suitable building can be
erected the home in which Abraham
Lincoln passed his boyhood will be
placed therein, together with such relics
of the martyr president as can be pro-
cured, and exhibited. 1t will, accord
ing to the Tribune, be one of the pcrma-
nent attractions in Chicago.
Several months ago the existence OF a
cabin built by Abraham Lincoln and
his father became known to party of
Chicago gentlemen, and they determined
to secure the interesting relic. In the
latter part of June Mrs. Norah Gridlcy
was sent to Coles county and visited the
cabin which was at the time occupied,
and had for years been the home of
John j. Hail. IL relative of the late pres
ident. The Halls were we'll to do, and
had become attached to the place, SO
long their home. but they were pre-
vailed upon to part with it.
The cabin became the property of the
Abraham Lincoln association. With
the property deed to the land on which
1T stood and the onc-half acre garden of
Grandma Lincoln passed into the pos
session of tho association. The pur-
chasers have secured every link in the
chain of title from the patent of the
government to Thomas Lincoln to the
decd of conveyance to the association.
Among them is deed in Abraham Lin
coins handwriting and the only known
document in existence to which the
joint signatures of Abraham and Mary
Lincoln are attached.
The cabin was built in 1851, and is
constructed of oak logs cut by Abraham
and his father in the river bottoms and
hauled u the spot where the cabin was
erected IL contained one room and Il
loft, and is sixteen feet in length by

Showers bear story in print" said E.
T. Snodgrass, of ParSersburg. w. Va.
1T can't be because Joe doesn't like to
tell it, for I'll bet that no one who has
gone anywhere near his hanpipr-out
place on the Dry Fork of the Cheat
river ever got away without hearing
Joe's bear story. Not that he's only
got that one bear story, for he's had
many an adventure with bruin on the
old Rich mountain, but this particular
one he regards as the qucerest and
most peculiar in his whole career, and
it only happened two or three years
ago 1t ought to be put on the lasting
record of bear stories. 1t isn't hunt
ing story, for Joe wasn't hunting, but
it is actually bear fish story.
Crooked creek is one of the widest
and weirdcst of all the wild and weird
mountain streams of the Cheat river
country. Like all the rest of the brooks
in that isolated region, it is remarkably
prolific trout water. 1t flows through a
deep ravine, and in places plunges over
rocky precipices, some of them fifty
feet high. 1t is, in truth, wild stretch
OF CLASSY pools and tumbling cataracts.
1t has fall in passing through the ra-
vine of five hundred feet in the dis
tance of mile.
"Onc day in the summer of 1889 Joe
Showers, who is typical backwoods
mountaineer, went trout fishing in
Crooked creek, and chose for his sport
the glistening basin Of the ravinc.
The waters of Crooked creek are clear
as crystal, and in fishing it one has to
be extremely shy and wary, taking adj
vantage of every bush or obscuring
tire to hide himself or his shadow
from the sight of the willy fish. Old Joe
ciambcrcd to a tavorlte pool of his in
the ravine, and. creeping up behind
bush, was soon Swimming his home
made flies on the surface with excel
lent results. He had captured dozen
fine fellows, and had just landed an
other, which he was in the act of tax
ing off of his hook, when he received n
blow alongside the head that sent him
crashing through the bush behind
which he was hiding, and plump into
the middle of the pool. The water was
deeper than Joe's height, and as he
came up spluttering and blowing the

In answer to the call of the mayor
large number of citizens met in
the council chamber Monday night
TO make arrangements to receive

ital city. The meeting was attended
with considerable enthusiasm. The
following committees were appoint
ed to carry out the plans for the re-
ception.

ing to make the occasion a complete
success. The committee is composed
of active men who will not stop
short of accomplishing the designs
of the meeting.
FOR FLORAL DECORATIONS.
Twelve ladies were appointed on a
committee Oh reception and floral
decorations. The committee is com
posed of the following representa-
tive ladies of Salem: Mrs. eX.Gov.

Simon, M. E. Goodell, j. l.. Mitch
ell, Jap Minto, o. NJ. Smith.
THE PLAN OF WORK.
The stay of the President in this
city being short will necessitate the
plans concise and with few formali-
ties. Invitations were extended to
the Grand Army of the Republic,
Oregon National Guards, Sons of
Veterans and the school children to
take part in the parade; similar in
vitaiion was extended to the Second
Regiment band. 1t is proposed that
the parade starts from the depot and
be made through the business part
ofthe city, then all retire to the cap
ltol building where the program
will be completed. The floral conn
mittee will have the halls of that
structure decorated with a profusion
of flowers.
FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY.
Steps were taken last night to eel
ebrate the Fourth of July in Salem.
The success attending the celebra-
ton of last year makes it a much |
easier matter for Salem to have a
grand time this year. 1t is fact,
and the committee on arrangements
had to contend with last year, that
Salem has not had a celebration of
any importance for several years
until last year. An effort is being
made to have the state militia to
come to Salem to participate in the
exercise. To accomplish that end
and to raise the necessary funds for
the Fourth, Maj. F. E. Hodgkin,
Hon. Geo. H. Burnett and Hon. G.
B. Moore were appointed the COM
mittee on finance.
