Dastardlv Deed.

junction City Times: Thos. AL
len, Of Long Tom, had a narrow es-
cape from death Wednesday. Mr..
and Mrs. Allen were away from
home and on their return Mrs. Al
len baked some gems for breakfast.
They tasted peculiar and Mrs. AL
len declined to eat them. Mr.. AL
len, however, continued his meal,
and a short time thereafter became
quite sick. DIR. Lee was sent for,
and by his timely arrival he was
enabled to counteract the influence
of the poison. The gems were
thrown out and it was but short
time till the dog and cat were
stretched out dead. Upon exami-
nation it was discovered the gems
contained strychnine in deadly
quantities. The gems were made
from batter kept in a jar, and the
presumption is that the strychnine
was placed in the jar during their
absence. They have no idea who
committed the ssdastardIy act OF
why anyone should want to take
their lives.

CORBETT- MITCHELL
Will Fight Before a Chicago

He Did Not Read the Papers.

The Columbian Athletic club Of
Chicago has about clinched the
heavy weight championship battle
between Corbett and Mitchell. Cor
bett has already signed condition
al articles of agreement to fight
Mitchell before the Coney Island
Club for a purse of$40,000. Presi-
dent O'Malley of the Columbian
club has started agents after Mitch
ell, and in the meantime has Sc
cured Corbett's signature to am ag-
reement which is in effect that il
Mitchell will not accept the terms
Of the Coney Island agreement, he
(Corbett) will accept the terms of
the Columbian Athletic club, name
" $4,000. Furthermore, if Mitch
ell should default and fail to meet
him for the title of the heavy
weight championship of the world,
he agreed to take in Mitchelps
place Peter jackson. Three hours
after Corbett had signed, q cable
gram was received from Mcdonald
in London, saying: Mitchell ac-
'cepts. the 100000 OFFER | have
signed for him temporary articles

Did Not Read the Papers.

VIM. Abraham, an old and re-
spected rancher living near Albany,
is now going to subscribe for every
paper in the country, and read
every one before he begins bust
ness each day. He has lived a
great many years, but he only
found out something on Tuesday
which struck him as new, but
which is as old as he is and as
popular as the "green goods" fake.
A man claiming to be brother of
ex-senator Corbett, hired a buggy
and drove to Abraham's ranch and
started in to talk trade and the
price of the farm was run up to
$3.50 per acre, and was on the
point of rising when another sleek
stranger putin an appearance, and
when favorable time came he
wanted to go into the scheme of buy
ing also, but he only had $4,000 in
bonds. which he asked Corbett
to cash, Corbett had only 500,
and the rancher was induced
to put in $1,000 cash until morn
ing. The $4,000 in cash and $1,000
in bonds were put in a tin box, be-
fore the old mans eyes, and the
box given to him to take home
and keep until morning when the
sale would be consumated. The
strangers then left. When Mr..
Abraham got home he thought he
would take one look at what would
be $4,000 to him after he awoke
from a refreshing sleep in the
morning, SO he opened the box and
found about a pint Of sand with
hardly enough paper to wrap it
up. He notified the authorities
but they could do nothing for him.
Only a short time ago the same
trick was played on an old Polk
county farmer, evidently by the
same men.

Loved Them Both.

Miss Annie Story, the beautiful
daughter Of Col. H. G. Story, of
Yorkville, has many admirers, but
could not decide between McBrayer
and Govan. Finally she sent for
the minister and the young men.
She told the rivals that the one
who come back to her first with a
marriage. license should be her
husband. Both men to leave York
vile at the same time and ride to
Dallas, the county seat. The young
men were well mounted and the
distance was nineteen miles. The
race was a hot one. McBrayer,
the rich lover, reached the ordin-
ary first and secured the license
before Govan appeared. The lat
ter came in moment later and
secured a license. In d few NOM
ents he also on his way back to
Yorkville. The race became sharp,
Govan was desperate because his
rival was better mounted. Miss
Story, her father and the minister
waited on the piazza for the rae
ing rivals. McBrayer was seen
first. He was excited and far
down the road it was noticed that
his horse was nearly exhaused.
The race was most exciting one
and seemed his. He was nearing
the gate, in q moment Govan ap-
peared in a by path, he was two
hundred yards ahead Of McBrayer.
He first ran across the piazza and
won the prize. He had taken the
short cut through the woods.
The ceremony was performed and
McBrayer gracefully acknowled-
ged his defeat and joined in the
marriage festivities,

Governor AitgeId.

A sensational sequel comes to
Governor Altgelds release Of the
Haymarl1et anarchists. The
Chicago Journal raises the question
as to whether he is legally gov
ernor Of the state of Illinois or q
citizen Of the United States. The
Journal says Governor AItgeld
bases his claim to citizenship on
the simple statement that his
father was naturalized while the
son was q minor child. Altgeld
was born in Prussia in 1848 and
came to this country with his
parents when a boy. IF the father
was made a citizen while the gov
ernor was under 21 there is no
question ss to bis title to citizen

important than minister to Turk

The Liquor Monopoly.

! A Sun special from Charleston,
S. c., says; A most peculiar state
of affairs exist in Charleston today.
For twenty days or more the liq-
uor dealers have been selling out
their stock of wines and liquors to
get rid of them before July /, when
the sta:e enters into monopoly
Of the liquor business. 1t is set
tied that there is to be no state
dispensary for the sale Of liquor in
Charleston and the people have
heretofore been preparing for 4 new
state Of things. Many thousand
of gallons of liquor have been sold.
So great has been the demand that
the roads have been taxed to trans
port liquors to the city, the pres
ent stock having been lorg ago cx-
hausted, and when the Evans law
goes into effect at midnight on
June 30, there viii be few people

To Save Flour Gold.

William Requa, formerly of
Pendleton, passed through Thurs
day evening on his return te Seat
tie from Snake river, having re-
ceived q dispatch notifying him
of the dangerous illness of his
wife, says the East Oregonian.
Mr.. Requa has been engaged in
testing his gold mining machine
on Snake river near Lewiston, and
had just gotten it in good working
order when compelled to leave.
A pump with powerful suction is
used, and this sucks up the water
and sand from the bottom of the
river which passes through the
machine. The gold is caught in
copper box containing quick
silver and the sand is thrown
back into the river, A big water
wheel was first fastened between
two catamarans, but this failed to
furnish power sufficient to operate
the pump, and an engine was sub
stituted. This worked all right
and the plant had been running
about three hours when he left.
He is confdentthat his invention
will prove a success, and the fact
that gold was brought up from the
bottom of the river was evidenced
by numerous colors found in the
sand. The test attracted wide
spread interest and hundreds Of
people visited the scene. The
plant is now being operated by two
parties who are interested with
Mr.. Requa.

Restore Confidence.

If public confidence were to take
the place of the preSent excitement
and doubt in financial circles there
is no reason why business should
not be prosperous, says the Dis
patch. There is more money in
the country than ever before, and
by reason of the want Of confidence
more is locked up in the banks than
ever before in the history of the
country The crops never looked
better, and everything, so far as
Oregon is concerned, except the
want Of confidence, looks prosper
Gus and favorable to the people.
There is no good cause for the
lack Of confidence SO far as Ore
gon sig concerned. Most Of our
banking institutions, recognized as
such, are in conservative hands,
and their collaterals are as good at
befor ethis unnecessary eXcitemen.
The men at the head Of our fnan-
cial institutions have their own
credit at stake as we'll as their for
tunes, and they will not betray the
trust imposed upon them. Let
public confidence be restored, and
there will come an area of prosper
ity in its wake. There is no good
cause why it should not.

Mexico VIII Not Suspend,

Secretary Of the treasury Linn
antour wishes to announce to tho
world that there is no truth in tn Q
rumor that Mexico contempIates
suspending the free coinage of
silver. On the contrary, all Of the
Mexican mints will be worked to
their utmost capacity. The mint
in this city coins $14,000,000 this
month. Machinery is now being
erected which will increase the
capacity to $18,000,000 month.
There are ten other mints in the
republic which have smaller ca
pacity. At present there exists
o scarcity Of circulating medium,
due mainly to the heavy expor-
tations Of Mexican silver dollars.
This drain on the finances of the
country must be met by increased
coinage. Mexico has, Furthermore,
certain and unfailing market in
Asia for all of her dollars. The
increasing ofexportations Of coffee,
fibers and other products viii en-
able Mexico to export more dollars
than ever before. Silver is pro-
duced in Mexico cheaper than in
the United States, and the fall in
price will be less acutely felt here
than in the ne;gbboring republic.

ions Of foreign goods and the con-
