The PopulIsts side.

TOPEKA, Feb. 20-Governor Lewelling
this afternoon gave to the Associated
Press an official statement IN writing
regarding the late unpleasantness. he
says the Republicans boast of having
carried the fight. TIE fact is. the Pop
ulists have never lost sight of the central
idea in the contest-the preservation
of the Populists house. 1t was to destroy
this bouse the Republicans made the
fight, and failed. Had they succeeded,
it would have thwsrted all reform legis-
lation. They know the laws passed by it
are valid; that to declare otherwise the
supreme court would have to revise all
respectable precedents at partisan de-.
mand and face wave of public indigna-
tion unparalleled since the notorious
Judge Trescilian was followed to the
scaffold by outraged people, who exulted
at his just but shocking execution. Cor
porate greed was determined to prevent
the enactment of reform measures by the
PopulIsts. The governor then goes on to
enumerate the acts of the Republican
house intended to extinguish the house
of Populists, beginning with tho at
tempted arrest of its chief clerk and to
be followed by the arrests of enough
Populists members to break the quorum.
This, be adds, did not succeed, and,
though the Republicans succeeded in
q compromise in driving the Populists
from the hall, their organization is still
intact. Even this was brought about
through the disloyalty of the state militia
and the county sheriff. He declared
that the militia has been recruited and
doctored to this end for two years.

Was il Murder2

Mrs. Chas. Norton died near Yaquina ten
days ago under very suspicious circum-
stances, says the Corvallis Times. Her
husband is brakeman on the Union Pacific
railroad with headquarters at Walla Walla.
Two weeks before the death of his wife he
went to Yaquina to attend the bedside of
sick child. Up to the day she died Mrs.
Norton was IN her usual health. Sometime
in the forenoon she became suddenly i'll, and
in few hours was cold in death, having
died in convulsIons. Her husband was
alone in the room with her and the first in
formation other persons in the same house
were afforded concerning her condition was
the announcement of her death. When
they went to dress her for the grave a
newly. born six months babe was found in
the bed. A physician, well informed of the
symptoms attending Mrs. Norton's death,
states that they are the game invariably
manifested in arsenic poisoning. Norton's
true name is Masonfeld, and his reasons for
sailing under an alias are unknown. SufG.

In the matter of the final report of the
grand jury for the February term, 1898.
We, the grand jury, respectfully report
to the court that we have now been in ses-
sion five days, and have found and returned
into court two indictments and one not true
bill, and have also inquired into several
matters brought before us that did not war
rant indictments and upon which no report
has been made.
We have also inquired into and examined
into the condition of the county jail and the
management thereof, and found it secure
and in good condition.
We also inquired into the condition and
management of the clerks, sheriff's and
treasurer's Offices, and found them all in
good condition, and all books neatly kept
and all correct so far as we are able to
judge.
We would recommend that the county
commissioners purchase and fit up the vault
in the county clerks Office with the latest
improved steel vault furniture, both for the
preservation of the records and that the
same can be more easily cared for and used.
The present fittings of the vault are both

Death of a Pioneer Of 1874.

F. M. Thorp, a well-known citizen of the
Klttitas valley, died recently, aged 73. He
was familiar figure on the streets of FL.
lens sburgh, always carrying with him pair
of old.fashioned saddlebags. He came to
the Pacific coast in 1874, crossing the plains
with party of twenty. six men and twelve
wagons. The trip down the Columbia from
The Dalles was effected by RATS as usual;
but MIR. Thorp, with one other man, added
to this the feat of shooting the cascades in
canoe, perhaps the only craft of this kind
that ever came through the boiling rapids.
Making landing near the present sight of
Portland, Mr.. Thorp went out to the Tual-
attn plains, finding employment splitting
rails. Next spring he went into Polk
county, where he lived for number of
years, and subsequently resided in Benton
county. But the Willamette valley grew
too populous, and in 1861 he sought the un-
inhabited region of the Yakima, making
new home in the Moxie valley, ,ranching and

all well cared for, fed and clothed, and en-
tirely satisfied with the treatment they re.
ceive.
We would recommend that the county
commissioners see that one George Houston,
minor, aged about II years, an inmate OF
the poor farm, be apprenticed out to learn
some trade, as he is able to care for himself.
We would also recommend that one Eu.
gene Busch, an inmate of the poor farm, be
requested to make his own living, as he is
an able-bod man, and we understand a
position has been offered him.
We would also recommend that the county
commissioners appoint a county board OF
health, whose duties shall be look after the
health of the county; to see that Dalies

made by the city, including the cleaning of
streets and alleys, connection of water

sense of the words. These recommends
tions are timely on account OF the threat

We also recommend that all the heavy
