Monday night n man named Davis, who
Jointly occupied room Of the McGloth-
len House with A. Hord, had gone to his
room with the intention Of going 10 bed
when be was Mortified to find bis COM
panion bleeding profusely and uncon-
scious from q ragged cash in the neck
which extended almost from ear To ear.
Hord was stretched out in bed, and the
presence Of big jack.knife showed the
means Of execution. County Physician
Taft was summoned, and he found that
two cuts had been made and the wind
pipe severed. He seWed up the wound,
which required 20 stitches, and then after
administering hypodermic injection, left |
In the morning HOrd recovered from his |
stupor and made dash out Of the house
and down the street. He was finally cap
tured at the Hotel Bartholet after q des-
perate struggle, in which the stitches |
were torn from his neck and the wound |
re-opened. The following day be made |
another break for liberty by jumping
from the window, running to the black
smith-shop and arming himself with q
big hammer. Again be was oVerpowered,
and on Tuesday afternoon Judge Graves
ordered his commitment at Steilacoom,
where he was taken by Sheriff Simmons
and Harry Coonse on the first train.
Hord is young man and Scandinavian.
He formerly worked on the Mckee, and
was q steady, industrious young man.
Recently he has been talking in q
strange, rambling manner about Henry
Georges theory Of single tax and on
social science, but previous to his trying
to commit suicide little attention was
PEsHAsrN MINES ATTRACTING ATTEN-
TIoN.-Thirty years ago there was much
preparatory mining work done on the
Peshastin creek, Kittitas county, in build
ing dams, water bitches and houses. The
Boise mining excitement, however, caused
general stampede from the Peshastin
district, and the miners left their claims,
tools and everything they could not carry
away. The old cabins have rotted down,
but the dams and bitches still remain, and
the camp is again attracting attention. A
report is in circulation that good wages
are now being banned out in that district
and that from 500 to 1000 paying placer
claims could be located on the Peshastin
and EAGLE creeks. With regard to this,
d.. Schnebley, the newspaper Nestor Of
the northwest, says that he has often seen
the abandoned cabins and other evidences
Of a mining camp, but has never heard Of

The annual business meeting Of the
Presbyterian congregation took place last
Friday evening. Most satisfactory 70
ports were read from different branches
Of work. The church has never before
had such prosperous years work. II
was decided to raise the pastors salary
by 500 for the coming year.
The city council should instruct the
street commissioner and empower him to
grade and put Front street In a slightly
condition. As II now stands ii is q dis
grace to any municipality, especially rs
it is the first street that comes in view Of
the railroad-traveling public. The costs
Of this improvement will be small item
compared with the benefits derived.
Miss Nora Elder, who was arrested at
Toppenish for the murder Of an infant
found in q valise near Ellensburgh on
Decoration day, was on Monday acquitted
by the jury after being out eight hours.
The evidence was all circumstantial, the
strongest point being thefindins Of a por-
ton Of the valise in the trunk. The evil
dence regarding the Defendants sickness
was most conflicting.
Street Commissioner Leach has en-
tered upon the duties Of his Office vigor-
Ously and with good Judgment. While
the calls upon his services are manifold,
he is getting around to the various appli-
cants with diligence and dispatch. In
his efforts be should remember that much
Of the prosperity Of the city is due to the
farmers and the main outlying roads
should be awong the first to be improved.

A Novel Military TRICYCLE..

From the New York Evening Post.
A French paper describes the en-
ployment in military telephony of a
tricycle. possessing the unusual quail
ficatiOns OF being adapted either for
travelling on roads of for use as wa
ter velocipede, without the necessity
for any change in its mechanical con-
struction. Such q machine as this Is
likely to be of service to detached
troops carrying pontons with them,
possessing no means of creating q
temporar y bridge, and engaged on
duties which render permanent COM
munication with headquarters neces-
ssry. The wheels of the machine are
formed of three large hollow biconvex
dikes of sheet iron, and are thorough
lywater-tight, serving to support the
construction on water. They are
fitted with small copper floats, which
while not in the way for road work
act as paddles when the machine is
afloat. A small drum is carried, on
which is coiled from 100 to 200 yards
of q timed copper conductor, iRsul-
ated with gutta percha and double
braided A small board, convenient.
ly fixed, carries a portable telephone
or a.Morse sounder. The telephone is
preferable, as 1t can be carried in the
pocket, requires no regulation and can
be attached to the chin strap of the he'll
met or other military head gear. For
river or lake work one Leclanche cell
is used, but on saltwater a different
type of cell is employed. A speed OF
nine and One.half to twelve and one
halfmiles on land and two and one
halt to four and one-half miles on
water has been attained with this
tricycle.. 1t is said to work very
easily, and recent experiments with
it at Marseilles are reported to have
resulted most satisfactorily.

One Peusioned Poet.
London Daily News.

From the London Daily News,
The "poet" Close, who has just
died, was an example of the little
wisdom with which pensions on the
civil list are sometimes granted. To-
ward the end of Lord Palmerston's
career, literary London was ston-
ished to learn that q civil service
pension had been awarded to Mr..
Close, of the Lake country, for his
services TO literature. Nobody had
heard of Mr.. Close, but everybody
began to ask about him, and 1t was
soon discovered that he was an OBJ
scure writer of doggerel. Lord Pal
merston himself, on whose recommen-
dation the pension had been granted,
frankly owned that he knew nothing
about him, and that he had recon-.
mended him at the instance of a third
party. Some of his illusions were
Immediately published. and it was at
once seen that there had been a mis-
take. 1t was impossible to defend
the recommendation in the house, and
the minister was wise enough not
to attempt to defend it. He excused
himself on the ground of ignorance.
The poet Close was not a "blue book"
he was not anything in continental
politics or the intrigues of European
courts, and therefore be was some
thing of which Lord Palmerston felt
he might gracefully be ignorant. 1t
was amusing so far, but it turned
tragical when the pension was with
drawn from the unhappy poet. The
grant was, however, committed, after
q fashion, by a donation of 100
pounds from the royal bounty fund.
The poet then went hack to his trade
which we believe was the having of
newspapers and guide books in the
Lake district; at any rate, such was
one person in all England believed in
him, and that was himself. He was
vain almost to a miracle, and was
honestly possessed with the idea that
his loss of the pension was due to the
intrigues of jealous literary clique.
With all his faults he had a genuine
grievance. The pension should never
have been given. but, once given, and
his hopes thus raised of a permanent
provision for his decling years, it
should never have been taken away.
The discussions on the subject in par
lament and in the press were loud
and long at the time of the appoint
ment. 1t WIS a revelation TO the
busy minister's contempt for litera-
ture. He had given this pension as
he might have given a patent to a
bOotmaker, and ne seemed to think
that there was something fine in hav-
ing given it in that way.

Parties and silver,

Only three of the Democratic Senators
made any resistance to the free coinage bill,
and only one of them was present and vot-
ing against Senator Vests substitute. All
the rest voted for the bill. Politically, the
vote stood thus: 10 Republicans for the bill
and 81 against; q Democrats for the bill and
three against. It is useless for Eastern Dem
ocrats to say, as some of them are undertake
ing to do, that the vote does not
fairly represent the attitude of their party
In the Senate on this matter; that the Demo-
cratic vote was strategic and designed to put
the Republicans sin a hole" That. per-
haps. would have done for the vote to Law
aside the election bill and take up the silver
bill, but 1t will not work as an explanation
of the vote for its passage. The obvious OK.
PLANTATION OF that vote, namely, the the Dem
ocratic party is free coinage party and that
the comparatively few Eastern Democrats
who oppose that policy, are out of touch
with it, is the correct one. If the bill
gets before the House the vote there will
only serve to confirm the truth of this expla-
nation. Last summer almost all the Demo-
cratic representatives voted for free coinage
and they will do so again this winter II they
get the chance.
We know very we'll that neither the Repub-
licans Of the House nor the Republicans of
the Senate are solldly opposed to the bill,
The Portland daily press., 1891-01-17

but the majority of them In both branches
are. and the only hope OF effective resist
ance to the free coinage craze lies in
the direction of the Republican party. No
body can analyze the vote in the Senate and
come to any different conclusion. The New
YORK sun correctly presents the situation
wnen II says that the silver question leaves
the Democracy substantially united and
makes impossible the selection by
the national Democratic conven-
tion OF candidate opposed to
silver. AS in 1874 when the Greenback
wave swept ever the county the reliance of
the friends of honest money must be entirely
upon the Republican party. There were
Republicans who falteled at first in 1874.
There are some Republicans who falter now,
but the great majority Of the party are
sound and steadfast and can be depended
upon when the contest comes to stand for an
honest dollar and a sound currency

CURRENT COMMENT.
REMOVAL OF THE MEDICAL SCHOOL.
Bangor News.1


Bangor News.l
In another column Is published an article
on the Maine Medical School which explains
itself. The friends of the school believe 1t Is
important that 1t be removed from Bruins
wick to Portland, and call for aid to build a
home for 1t In that city. That the school
has done grand work In the past its history
proves. The reason for removing the school
to Portland, Is that the students would then
have the opportunity of more clinical WORK
which would be afforded from the fact that
there are several hospitals In that city. The
Maine Medical School has large number of
graduates in the state, who will lend help
ing hand in its new departure, and there are
a host of friends who will also extend finan-
cial aid. The article to which reference has
been made should be carefully read, and the
conclusions OF the eminent gentlemen, by
whom it is signed, should be given thorough
consideration. Maine reeds a medical
school and its usefulness should be made as
great as possible, and 1t should not suffer
from lack Of liberality on the part Of its
friends,

What is done in regard to the elections bill
ought TO be done quickly. The only effect
of allowing 1t to linger along is to retard
business in both branches and threaten an
extra session, which would be calamity to
the country. The cloture rule might as well
be brought in Immediately and voted on.
If 1t is adopted then the election bill can be
pressed to passage; IL 1t is rejected then the
bill might as we'll be dropped.

There can be no doubt that the
President will veto the free coinage
bill If it gets to him; though in thetpresent

and one which naturally enough he would
like to avoid. So there is hardly probable
ity that free coinage will get on to the statute
books this session. But in the next Con-

are laboring. The first class have sound,

know perfectly well what they are about,
and nobody can gainsay the soundness of
their judgment. But the people who, having
