named McKechnie, tutor of two little
daughters of Daniel Magoon of Oswe--
60, Clackanas county, took walk
with his pupils yesterday afternoon
One of the children ventured out on q
plank in the canal, which runs from
the Tualatini river into Sucker lake..
and fell in. Mr.. McKechnie plunged
into the water after his ward, bringing
her back to- the surface and getting
hold of the plank from which she had
fallen, and at che same time warning
the other girlnet to approach the bank
too closely" The young hero had
scarcely admonished the child when
he lost his grip on the plank and he
and the first child sank aud were
drowned. Later in the day both bodies
were recovered. McKechnie was a.
well-educated young man and the son
of a good English family.

From Corvallis Gazette.

Yesterday morning our devil" who
has recently contracted the habits of
'early to bed and early to RISE" while
on one of his morning tours pprloined
from some secreted nook which is his
custom to frequent, bunch of fruit
and placed 1t in the display window
of the Gazette stationery store, with
the label "Oregon grapes" attached.
One of Corvallis enterprising fruit
growers and real estate dealers was at
tra"ted by the magnificent specimen
and made anxious inquiries as tothe
source from whence they came.
Visions of untold wealth flashed
through his brain in anticipation of
the crop shat he would realize from
seed of this variety, for indeed twas a
beautiful specimen; in fact it 80 far
surpassed the ordinary Oregon grape
that he was suspicious of the fact of its
being an Oregon product and offered
to bet dollar on his judgement, which
the "deVil" promptly covered, The
chagrin, that o'erspread his eounte-
nance when he learned it was only q
joke was -pitiful to behold. 1t was only
bunch of Blue Damson plums.

More Bank News.

II will be remembered by our readers
that H, NJ. Bealh receiver of the Linn
County National bank, commenced an
action against J.. L. Cowan for S23,-
200 go, and attached all the property
known as the Bank Of Lebanomprop-
erty, which was placed in the hands of
three trustees for the security Of the
depositors. Mr.. Beall, as supplement
tary to and in aid of that action, has
| instituted suit in the U. S. Circuit
Court against J. L. Cowan and W. B.
Donaca, J. M. Settle and J. A. Roberts,
the trustees, and the papers were
served upon the defendants by J. d.
Coleman, Deputy U. $. Marshal, re-
| quiring them to appear in that court
on the 9th day ofNovember, to answer
the complaint. AT the same time the
Deputy U. s. Marshal served upon the
defendants an order made by Judge
Gilbert restraining them froms doing
anything with the property pending
the litigation. Mr.. Beall also seeks to
have receiver appointed TO take
charge of the property, and the de-
PENDANTS are required to appear on the
9th day of October to show cause why
this should not be done. The institu-
J ton of this suit brings into question
the legality of Mr.. Cowan's action in
turning over his property to secure the
depositors of the bank of Lebanon, and
will stop all present efforts ofsthe trus-
tees to settle with them. The COM
plant of Mr. Beall not only questions
tue legality of the transaction, but also
charges Mr.. Cowan and the trustees
/ with bad faith, and with the attempt
to defraud the Linn County National
Bank. No one, acquainted with the
circumstances, will for momemt be-
lieve this, and if the case depended
upon that question alone there would
be no doubt as, to the ouSoome. The
trustees, we understand, will defend
their position and not permit it to go
by default. What the result will be is
hard to tell, as there Are several very
close legal points involved, and it may
! be long as well as hard fight, but ii
is to be hoped that the trustees will
save the little they have for the depos.

Prince of the House of Forepaugh.
At the death of Adam Forepaugh
his only son Adam was like an heir
to the throne banished from his
kingdom, and while he is particular
ly reticent about his personal affairs,
it is no secret that the blow robbed
him of the immediate opportunity to
succeed his father as a great show
man. On coming into the possession
of a large fortune he was at first
rather timid in entering into bust
ness on his own account, for two
summers he received $4,000 a sea-
son to direct the amusement of q
large show. Last summer he tried
the irksomeness of idleness, some
times miscalled the pleasure of leisure.
The vacation over, he at once set
about organizing his "Brand New
Show" which combines a capital
one-ring circus and a big quarter
mile hippodrome, from its first open
ing at Dover, Delaware, in the early
spring, his success has been marvel
GUS and deserved. At the capital of
Delaware he was particularly honor
ed, the legislature adjourned and
the lawmakers and state officials
honored the young manager with
their patronage and presence, de-
claring that Forepaugh's circus was
much better than their own; and
Forepaugh's fools much wiser and
wittier than their Adam Ill. "The
Prince of the House of Forepaugh"
will plant his tent at Hyde Park,
Tuesday, August Goth. and on that
occasion there will be congregation
of the hosts to bid welcome and wish
good luck to plucky young Adam
Forepaugh.

Judge Powers spoke in behalf OF
the repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman bill in Congress Mon
day. We have not yet received the
speech in full, but associated press
dispatches give the following ex-
tract -
He referred to the Chicago plat
form and to the interpretation placed
upon it by various Democrats. The
gentleman from Pennsylvania, Mr..
Sibley, had referred to the Saviour of
Mankind as the first Democrat and
had taken the utterances of the
Saviour as his platform; the gentle
man from Massachusetts, Mr.. Ever
EFT, had taken Grover Cleveland as
his platform and had gone around
his district singing at the top of his
voice, sob! Isn't he dandy" Mr..
Powers argued that the purchasing
clause of the Sherman bill was vicious
in principle and dangerous in appli-
cation. If free coinage were adopted,
the gold bugs could corner the mar
ket just as easily as they could to-
day 1t did not do merely to say
that the Republican party was re-
sponsible for it. The only solution
of the problem was to suspend the
coinage of silver, which the world had
discarded, until we could bring the
world to it's senses. Then the ma
tions of the world would come to
recognize that there was not enough
gold in the world to act as currency
and they would come to bi-metallic
basis.

COOP AND BAD MoNEY.-Gold dol
lars are good because they are worth
as much in bullion as they are in
coin. Silver dollars are bad money
because they are not. They serve
the purpose of good money only Sc
long as the government redeems
them in gold or its equivalent. How
long can the government continue to
do so? These are facts. Let anyone
contest them who can. The present
administration is making use of all
the lawful power that exists to put a
stop to this distrust-to maintain
the credit of the country and to pre-
vent a panic. 1t must be supported
by banks, bankers and people alike,
else the disaster will come. That
disaster will be due to the temporary
success of the advocates of the free
coinage of silver dollars which are
not worth so much after they are
melted as they purport to be in the
coin. There is hardly a man in this
country who cannot to-day name
important undertakings which have
been and will be stopped until this
cause of distrust is removed. The
stupid or maligant enemies of the
credit OF the country must be held
responsible. They are the advocates
of the free coinage of silver dollars of
full legal tender, which are now bad
money.-North American Review.

The EXODUS OF CHEAP LABOR
There is no great loss without some
consequent gain. One of the less dis
turbing results of the suspension of
work, says the Boston Herald, is an
exodus of foreign laborers back to
the country whence they came. The
Philadelphia papers note a great
rush of Italians and Poles from the
iron and coal regions of Pennsyl-
vania to that city, where they are
taking passage back across the
water. The average number of de-
parture of Poles from that port
alone of late has been between 100
and 200 daily, and the number of
Italians is still larger. The growing
tendency on the part of the Pennsyl-
vania contractors to employ Ameri-
cans in preference to foreigners is
in a great measure responsible for
the present condition of things, and
it is not an altogether bad sign, con-
sidering the manner in which the
Pennsylvania industries have been
resorting to cheap imported labor.

FREE COINAGE EXPENsIvE.-Sin
Senator Voorhees, decided to aban-
don his free silver leanings and aid
the administration in its financial
plans he has been ably supported by
suggestions from the cabinet. He is
in frequent consultation with Secre-
tary Carlisle, and that official has
given him some figures which are cal
culated to vindicate his change of
views and at the same time form a
powerful argument against the adop-
ton of Senator Vests free coinage
proposition. The Vest bill says
nothing about the re-coinage of the
present silver coins, but such action
would inevitably follow the adoption
OF a change in the ratio. In a letter
to Senator VOORHEES,, Senator Car
Isle says that at ratio of 20 to
it would cost the government more
than $4,000, 900 to recon the sill
yer, and this sum would have to be
placed at the disposal of the govern
ment soon after the passage of a free
coinage law. 1t will be difficult
matter for the free silver men to
show that their plans would repay
this outlay.

some total of 81 ,649,0OO. Divided

ARRESTED FOR FoRGERY.-At the
meeting in st. Johnsbury Thursday
morning of the directors of Caledo.
MIA County Publishing Company
publishers of the Daily and Weekly
Republican, Charles 7. Walter was
removed from the position of mana
ger, which he has held since the paper
was started in 1885. A few hours
LAT er Walter was arrested by Sheriff
Sulloway on a charge of forgery, was
taken before Justice Worcester for a
hearing, waived examination and
was bound over to the December
term of the County Court under $4,000
bonds. An investigation has been
going on some time which shows
that Walter forged the name of Col.
Truman c. Fletcher, one of the most
prominent men in st. Johnsbury, to
the amount of $500. The Lyndon
Savings Bank of Lyndonville dis.
counted notes over two years age
of 500 and $500. Last Janudr.7
Walter presented a note of $500 to
the Citizens Bank of st. Johnsbury
This was discounted for a month and
renewed several times, Walter forging
Fletcher's name every month. Wal
ter's Indebtedness is not far from
$4,000, most of which is held by
banks in that community. His rela-
tives and friends were induced to
sign these notes. Walter is about
80 years old, of pleasant and courte-
Gus ways, and did not spend his Dor
rowed money by fast living or in
speculation. He lived beyond his in
come and kept borrowing to keep up.
