THE STEAMBOAT CAPTAIN.


II . Bears the Weight Of . Great Re0pOO-
siblllay.
The steamboat captain, or master q

NELSON LETTEe.
Another victim of the Treacherous
Elements.


NELSON, WASH. April 20.
Editor Chronicle:
The little community at Nelson,
WASH, is called to mourn the loss of one
of its worthiest members.
On the morning of Saturday 18th,
inst, Jack Andrews crossed the Colum-
bia in a skif from Nelson to Cascade
Locks intending to return in a couple of
hours. Instead of returning, however,
he was induced to tarry and taste the
cup that cheers and inebriates. He
spent the day convivially at the locks
and, at night, started to recross the
river, since which time he has not been
seen or heard of, and there is no ques-
ton but that he went over the cascades.
1t is thought that he must have lost or
broken an oar as he was an expert oars
man. His cries for help were heard in
the night ON the Washington shore, by
persons who would have been swift to
the rescue had they known his peril, but
thinking it to be some beIated reveler no
heed was given. His cries were in vain
for the goal of his earthly wanderings
was near and no friendly aid could
reach him as he drifted rapidly towards
the raging flood that has swallowed its
victims for ages past.
Deceased, although residence of this
place for less than year, had made
many friends. He was genial, kind,
and intelligent, a thorough reader of the
best literature, and his sad fate has
excited much sorrow here.

The silly girl is determined to marry a

Political callers will greatly oblige this
editor by leaving their augers on the
woodpile outside.
Next June in Multnomah county.
Lotan and Simon will meet either their
Waterloo or their Kilkenny, we don't
know which.
The mercy of Gov. Pennoyer is now in
fine condition. The governor has given
it so much healthy exercise in pardon
ing criminals that it is regarded as the
longest-armed and longest-winded''m mercy
in the northwest.
Said the New York World, ssRhode
Island can and must be carried Little
Rhoda was carried, but not the way of
the World, the flesh and the dollar that
is skinned. She was carried with her
back to free coinage, free trade and all
other Worldly things.
The ghosts of Oregon would be glori-
fed far more by placing Veatch in the
gubernatorial chair than by sending him
to the state senate. Let Oregon spooks
get their medium where he can exercise
the veto power over every attempt of the
state to keep abreast of her sister states
in the march of improvement, and cir
cular efulgence will. soon grow around
their narrow heads.
Multnomah county is pretty sick
again. 1t is the same old Simon and
Lotan collar-a, attended with spasms
and nausea. If the soul of Portland
still possesses those higher sensibilities
whose screeches were heard during the
struggle for consolidation, heaven only
knows what form her republican repug-
nance to bossism will take next June
It will be violent, but that is all we
know about it now. 1t will probably be
another citizens movement.

AL DUE TO a DREAM.

Some Good Fairies Sent y Poor Little
Irish Boy His Fortune.
There died in this city on April 6, 1890,
an honest, hard working machinist by
the name of Patrick Shine, who, having
accumulated some little wealth and
knowing that his end was near, few
weeks previous to his death decided all
Of his property to his faithful wife,
Ellen, their union never having been
blessed with children. The loss of her
life companion Frustrated the widow,
and her grief was so great that Just
three months later-on June 6, 1890
Ellen Shine, no longer able to bear up
under her load of sorrow, quietly
breathed her last to rejoin her beloved
husband in another world.
Ellen Shine died intestate, and her
property was taken charge of by Public
Administrator James Q. Pennie, who at
once advertised and otherwise searched
for any unknown heirs, SO that If they
existed they could have an opportunity
to present their claims.
Among the people who knew Ellen
Shine was Mrs. Mary Ann johnson, of
140 Fell street, the wife of a mechanic.
Mrs. Shine and Mrs. johnson were both
of them natives of County Cork, Ire
Land, and whenever they met they used
to exchange "reminiscences of the DAYS of
their youth. When Mrs. johnson learned
through the newspapers that her old
friend had died and that the public ad-
ministrator had charge Of her property
for the lack of legal claimants she was
greatly distressed, and the matter wor-
ried her for many weeks. In vain the
good woman cudgeled her brains in an
endeavor to remember whether she had
ever heard Of any one related to Ellen
Shine. She could recollect no one
The matter occupied her mind so
muck that it is not at all surprising that
one night aug. 30, 1S9T, after retiring,
still much perturbed over the fact that
all the money should go to strangers,
Mrs. johnson had her peaceful slumbers
disturbed by dream She dreamed of
Ellen Shine as a young girl home in Ire
land, surrounded by a host of relatives.
and conspicuous in that visionary pic
ture from dreamland was the figure of
Rev. Father James. well known to the
dreamer. s1sS sss37
When Mrs. johnson awoke next morn
ing she remembered her dream and
thought it strange that in it Father
James should be mixed up with the
youthful days of her late friend The
more she pondered over this. to her, in
expicable fact the more she became
convinced that the proper person to ap-
ply to for information concerning the
relatives Of Ellen Shine was the old
parish priest, and she resolved at once
to write to him.
Her surmise proved correct In due
