Friday evening. Vic Beebe, a young
man "a years of age, and son OF we'll

him TO walk down the road with him
toward Woodlawn.
The two proceeded about half a mile
along the road, talking over the difficulty
that had occurred In the earlier part of
the day, when Day suddenly turned
around, and, drawing his gun, shot Beebe
through the body, the ball entering
the right side and coming out on the left,
passing through both lungs.
A boy who had Joined the party saw
the shooting. Day turned upon him and
made an attempt to kill hIm also, but
the cartridge caught in the barrel of the
gun and failed to discharge. The boy
took to his heels and reached Woodlawn,
where he reported the killing of Beebe.
Beebe's body was brought. to Woodlawn
that night and an inquest held.
Day had fled to the woods, but was
next morning by tine constable.

Enter Free of nurx.

NEW YORK, Oct 12-The Sun this
morning says: The following dispatch
was received from Washington last night
at too late an hour to make the necessary
inquiries to get a confirmation: "The
government of the United States has Just
concluded a convention with Germany,
through the German minister, by which
all our crops will be admitted into
the German empire free of duty in con
sideration OF the free admission into the
United States of German beet sugar after
January 1, which under the recent law
would then stop. This year the crop of
all the German states, except Prussia,
is very poor, and the rye crop is a fail
ure throughout Germany. The present
rate Of duty on wheat imported into
Germany is "a 115 cents per bushel of
forty pounds.

when decency would have dictated ces

Germans in Russia.

BERLIN, Oct. "a large German immi-
grafton has set 10 from the Baltic prov
lnces of Ressia to Germany. These prov
inces lave not been visited by failure
of the crops. but they all are disastrously
affected by the degree prohibiting the
expectation OF rye, which has ruined many
families. In addition to this, Russian
authorities are enforcing new and harsh
regulations for the purpose OF Russian
izing the inhabitants and causing them
to forget their native language and re-
ligion. These regulations forbid the use
of the German tongue ID the schools, and
all efforts on the part of the Lutheran
pastors to make any converts are also
punished as crimes. This section of the
Russian empire Is known as the czar's
Alsace Lorraine. The Inhabitants cling
to their German orgIon and language,
and the cZar will find hard to make them
forget either the one or the other.

FaYors the Washington Side.

The Portland chamber of commerce has
decided to adopt the portage road from the
dalles to point opposite Cello on the
Washington side of the river. This route
was adopted by vote of 20 to 7. Portland
is to take $500, 900 in bonds. Lengthy re-
ports were made on all possible routes.
The following contains the gist of the re-
port Of the committee, as relates to the OBJ
jections of the Norton route:
We do not consider the so-called Norton
route, on the Oregon side feasible, nor in
view of the probable legal complications
over the rights of way now controlled by
the Union Pacific and the Columbia Rail
way and Navigation Company, do we con-
slider the route paralleling the Union Pacific
on the other side, or the route suggested by
Mr.. Bogue in his report, from point near
Three Mile Rapids to Cello. on the Wash
Ington side, as being proper for favorable
recommendations. We find that by Mr..
route would be s347, 900, exclusive of ware
houses, wharfboats and steamboats,. This
estimate is made on basis of $4,000 per
mile, cost of construction, while the same
engineer for piece of road on the Oregon
side which, we are informed, is not much,
if any, more difficult of construction, esti-
mates the cost at $25, 900.
Referring to the possible line lon the
Oregon side, suggested by Mr.. Bogue, par
alleling the Union Pacific, we find the esti-
mated cost by his report is S40O, 900, exclu-
sive of boats and wharfboats, and in this
estimate apparently the necessary tunnel at
Cape Horn, referred to in Mr.. Bogu re-
port, is omitted, which tunnel would cost
on conservative engineers estimate from
$65. 900 to S75. 600, and again, while this
line is estimated to cost $25, 900 per mile.
we find on investigation that the Union Pa
ci6c line in the same district cost from $50,
600 to $50, 600 per mile.

Do Animals Raason2

Many instances haYe been cited to show
that horses, dogs. cats or other animals are
endowed with reasoning faculties, though
it is generally accepted fact that they
have instinct in place of reason. 1t is not
our province to decide the question, but to
record another singular happening which
would show that if brutes have not the
power of pursuing train of thought to q
logical conclusion, their instinct stands
them in as good stead and they attain the
same object.
In the early part of the summer an IRON
gray cayuse was noticed by the ferryman,
MIR. johnson, lettering about the beach for
three days, eating the garbage and all times
watching the boat and looking at it intent
ly as 1t crossed and recrossed the river,
with its loads of other horses and wagons.
One misty morning, just as the boat was
about to start, the horse came running at
full speed and cleared the cham at jump,
and. running to the other end, stood with
its nose over the opposite chain, pointed
toward the Washington shore. Before the
boat had fairly made good its landing the
horse jumped the cham again and ran up
the steep embankment and was never again
seen by any of the boatmen.
Whether the horse had formerly lived in
Washington and had crossed IN this manner
before, or whether 1t had learned from OBJ
servation, cannot be told, but the horse
crossed the river and paid no fare, and
doubtless reached its destination in safety.

A dANDSOME YOUNG WOMAN INSANE.
SEATTLE, Oct. ia tall and handsome
young woman, about 90 years of age, was
placed In the county jail this evening
while suffering from arrangement of the
mind. evidently due to over-excitement
and extreme nervousness Where she
came from, or who she is, is not known,
beyond the fact that she says her name Is
Nellie Hadley. In her rawlings she calls
for her love, and it is thought that she is
the victim of some designing man. At
times she is very violent and at no time
will she talk nationally. About dark
this evening she appeared at the home of
C. Eaitmend. at the corner of Sixth and
Seneca streets, and thought 1t was her
home. An effort will be made to morrow
morning to locate the girls friends.
