When the king heard that Baleka was
sick he did not seek her outright, be-
cause he loved her a little, but he sent
for me, commanding me to attend her,
and when the child was born to cause
its body to be brought before him, ac-
cording to custom, so that he might be
sure that it was dead. | bent to the
earth before him, and went to do his
bidding with heavy heart, for was not
Baleka my sister, and would not her
child be of my own blood? Still, it
must be so, for Chaka's whisper was as
the shout of other kings, and if we
dared to disobey then our blood and the
blood of all in our kraal must answer
for it. Better that a babe should die
than that we should become food for
jackals Presently | came to the EN-
poseni, the place of the kings wives,
and declared the kings word to the
soldiers on guard. They lowered their
assegais and let me pass, and | entered
the hut of Baleka. In it were other of
the kings wives, but when they saw me
they rose and went away, for it was not
lawful that they should stay where l
was. Thus | was left alone with my
sister.
For awhile she lay silent and | said
no word, though | saw by the heaving
of her breast that she was weeping.
Hush, little onew | said at length,
your sorrow will soon be done"

head, lit will be but begun. Oh, cruel
man! l know the reason of your COM

also my child? Must my babe be
dragged from my breast and be dashed
against a stone, and by you, Mopo?
Have not loved you, Mopo? Did not
flee with you from our people and the
of our father? Do you know
that not two moons gone the king was
wroth with you because he fell sick;
and would have caused you to be slain

Play ing 1t Fine.

CHICAGO, March. 7-Dr. Henry M. Scud-
der, who is charged with numbering his
mother-in-law, and who is confined in the
detention hospital pending examination as tc
his sanity, seized heavy chair yesterday
afternoon and with powerful swing brought
it down on the defenseless head of lunatIc
The victim dropped as if he had been shot,
and the doctor was proceeding to kill him
when the attendants rushed up and seized him.
1t required the combined strength of three
men TO dlsarm the physician and put him in
his cell. When asked why he assaulted the
lunatic he said, s'Voices told me 10 do it,
because the Nan was in league with my wife
and the others against me-" His son and
father called to see him this morning He
seemed pleased to see his son, but would not
speak to his father, who, he said, was in
league with the people who were trying TO
ruin him. From the doctors conversation it
seems he consideres that he is victim of
huge conspiracy which began with his arrest
for irregularities IN the insurance matter. He
appears to class the Dunton family as the
chief conspirators- A young woman who
has done considerable work as typewriter for
DR. Scudder, says: 81 have had plenty OF
opportunities to study him, and 1 believe that
he is peafectly sare. He is a smart man but
inclined to be disagreeable and dicta,orial."

TELEGRAPHIO NEWS.
A Day Of Delight.

WASHINGTON, March Ut has been a
day of intense delight for the Republicans
1t was day of triumph for the silver men,
but the best elements of the Democratsc party
were tramIled under foot. The war was
carried on by the Democrats themselves.
Only once did the Republicans take any part
in the debate. That was when ,ex-Speaker
Reed yielded five minutes to young &c orge
Fred Williams, the mugwump from Massa-
chusetts, and upon the foundation which he
made, Reed himself skinned the Democratic
party, and was followed by Boutelle, who
poured salt upon the gaping wounds. The
wild, hilarious times were between the Demo
Gratis themselves. 1t was the Democrats who
called attention to the fact that the speaker
was far surprising the speaker of the last
house in his arbitrary and unconstitutional
proceedings. Abusive language, the lie al
most direct, and the worst possible feeling
prevailed between the Democrats, who op-
posed and those who favored free coinage.
But the Democratic house has gone on record.
There is no doubt, whatever, that the free
coinage bill will pass The Democrats, who
today voted against its consideration num-
bered seventy With all the Republicans
voting with them, there is still majority of
twenty-eight for the free silver men in the
entire house. But there are at least dozen
Republicans who will vote for free coinage
when it comes up. There is yet possibility
that the bill may be filibustered against when
1t reaches the stages of vote, but Bland
guaranteed that a vote would be had in the
house, and did not care to make it ironclad.

Accidental Shooting.

A very deplorable accident happened
Sunday to Mr.. ". II. Groat, the miller al
the Diamond Mills III this city. He wa,
about eight miles west of town huutng,
and, while walking through the woods
holding his gun about midway of the
barrel, stumbled over log. This
caused the gun to be discharged, and his
right hand slipping oyer the .muzzle re-
ceived the full contents of the barrel, fear
fully shattering that member and the wrist.
AS soon as possible man rode to the city
and informed DR.. Rinehart of the accident.
The doctor left his office with the necessary
surgical Instruments; but had not reached
Second street before he saw a hack being
driven up town at very rapid rate, con-
veyIng the wounded man to his room,
Nearly as soon as the horseman arrived in
the city the carriage had also, and the doc.
tor proceeded to Mr.. Groat's room, and,
by DR.. Logan, amputated the right
arm about two inches aboye the wrist. The
accident happened in the afternoon, and,
very soon afterwards, the operation was
performed. Mr.. Groat has lived in the
city for number of years. and has a large
number of friends, who will regret the
misfortune that happened HIM. At last
accounts ne was resting easily, with pros.
poets of speedy recovery.

The Body Eaten by Coy,t+s

Austin, New, March 7.-Leopold Bauman,
a young German rancher, left Santa Rosa,
CAL, in December last for his ranch, forty
miles distant from Austin. He arrived at
Cartez, New, and January II departed for his
home on horseback, distant thirty five miles.
At that time fully thirty inches of snow covered
the ground. A searching party found
watch, knife, boots and clothes, which were
identified as belonging to Bauman BY his
brother, and two human hip joints. The
supposition is the horse became fatigued,
whereupon Bauman unsaddled him to walk
the rest-of the journey, being but three miles.
Under the piercing cold it is supposed he
gave up and froze to death. The body was
eaten by coyotes. He was about IS years of
age and married.

We visited the Big Meadow country last
week. No snow was encountered ION the
way until we reached the pine timber at
Bend. From Bend to Big Meadow the
snow grew gradually deeper all the way,
finally reaching depth of about two feet.
The snow fell four feet deep up there in one
week, making 1t very difficult to get about,
though the weather at no time has been
exceedingly cold. The settlers were amply
proyided for any emergency that rigorous
winter might bring, hence there has been
no loss of stock. The people go about on
snow shoes and are as happy and contented
as clans in the shell.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Oregon will be the first state in thi:
presidential year, and large Repub-
lican majority should greet the ears Of
out eastern neighbors next June. Tc
accomplish this perfect harmony must
prevail in the ranks of the party, and
factional chickering's should he laid
aside.
There is very little talk of European
war now, the greater interest being
attracted to the starving poor of Ger
many and Austria, who have to be fed
by public charity. The Gar has the
same difficulty to overcome, and for a
time at least gaunt and ghastly famine
has driven the war god from the CAPT
tails of Europe.
The illustrations of the different
state buildings In Chicago for the Co
lumbian exposition appear very beau
tiful to an Oregonian, whose state has
not made the least movement to he
represented on that occasion. All eff
forts to collect fund for this purpose
have proved futile, and Oregon,in 1898,
will be conspicuous in Chicago by the
absence of any display of the products
of her soil or manufactures.
The Behring sea question, which hes
been submitted to arbitration by the
United States and Great Britain, is
beginning to show signs of serious
complication by reason of the British
ministry contending that seal catching
should continue during the hegotia-
tions between the two countries.
Experts state that if this is permitted
the seal industry will be crippled for
all time to come, and the United
States should enfore the naodms viv
endi at all hazards. We have navy
and 1t should be put to some use.
However distasteful it may Le to
the independent members of the Dem
ocratic party it is very likely that
David B. Bill will be the nominee of
the party for president if Tanmany
can maintain its control of political
affairs, which undoubtedly it can. Mr..
Cleveland is viewed with greater
favor by the mugwump contingent:
out the rule of the caucus and the
machine is supreme inside the ranks
of the organization, and tie New
York ring understands how to place
the wheels of the machine to work
out any result they desire.
A Democratic exchange has found
an easy way of eliminating the qaes
tion of the tariff by stating that it is
"war of markets" Granted, is it not
much better to support home market
than foreign one, and is it not more
patriotic to build up American in
dustries than those of great Britain?
These are pertinent questions, and ap-
peal to the patriotism of American
citizens. The Republican party Is
willing to go before the country on
this issue-that tariff is war of mar
kets, and that protection is stard in
favor of home productions and free
trade gives preference to those of for
eign countries.
