MURDER MOST FOUL.
Jack Hamlet Deliberately Kills Ben
Gammie at Mitchell
James Harrison succumbs to Cancer--J.
v. o'Leary's Suggestions Valuable
weather Notes, Etc.

MITCHELL, Or, Feb. 13.-tSpecial cor
respondence of THE CHRoNICLE.]-
February the 14th was day that by
horror. At a vacant house mile and a
half beloYM Mr.. Woolver's the young peo-
pie had gathered to celebrate st. Valen-
tines day. But their merry making
was soon turned to grief and fear by
Jack Hamlet deliberately shooting Ben
Gammie once in the back and once in
the back of the head, killing him in
stantly. There had been slight dis
pute between the men early in the even
ing, but none thought it of the slightest
consequence. During the evening HAM
let had threatened and seemed intent on
killing some one, and without the least
warning committed the fatal deed.
Martin Gray has just returned from
the death bed. and funeral of James
Harrison. It will be remembered Mr..
Harrison was at Dufur at two different
times during the last two years to be
treated for cancer by DIR. Vanderpool,
without success. After months of such
suffering as only disease of that kind
could create, he is at last free. Happy
must have been the release. Do we
mourn because he has gone? No, we
only grieve that one so true should have
suffered so. A true husband and a kind
jnst father is gone, and loving wife
and children are left to bear the cruel
pangs of hurt that naught but time
can heal. Oh, angels of peace, rest your
hands gently on the heads of those that
are left-the wife and orphans.

FARMER LEGISLATION.

During the coming year there will be an i'm
mensc number of matters OF the most vital in

Executive Departments at Washington. It is
highly. important that the farmers be kept

Capital. They should all, therefore, take THE
AMERICAN FARMER, which, being on the ground,
has better facilities than any other papers for
getting this information, and deyotes itself to
this duty. They will find in 1T constantly a

CoRN THE GREAT WESTERN STAPLE.

CORN THE GREAT WESTERN STAPLE.
Up in Iowa the farmers are giving
their hogs and cattle to any ore who
viii drive them away. This has occur
red before, but it does not alter the fact
that Iowa IS one of the best corn states
in tie Union. Neither does it deter
Iowa farmers from going right on rails
ing corn and hogs as though every year
was prosperous. The fact is that crops
fail everywhere, and it is regarded as
one of the contingencies Of farming
everywhere but in Kansas.
Statistics tell the story that the aver
age yield for term of years In Kansas
states, vet a similar failure, or two. or
three partial failures, raise the cry of
despair from almost every farmer in the
state.
The Kansas farmer has the same in
centIve To work as the farmer of Iowa
and Illinois. They are each especially
favored In being in the corn belt, This
corn area is limited, not only in this
country, but throughout the world. The
growing popularity, and high price of
pork adds to the value Of every bushel
of corn and every acre of land upon
which it can be produced. It IS not the
part of wisdom then to yield to Temporal
~ discouragements. The man who sue
ceeds goes right along saving wood or
blowing corn.
1t was said Of John Jacob Astor that
hard winters, epidemics and Indian
piracy only melted him to greater effort.
He knew the country abounded in the
finest furs in the world, Just as the
trans-Mississippi states produce more
corn and pork than the balance Of the
world. The conditions are here; this
branch of farming VIII pay and will
continue to be more profitable. Perse-
verance and thorough tillage will do the
work.

A DANGEROUS FAD.

The sensational talk about running the
man Coxey for congress points to an evil
which has almost reached dangerous
proportions. We say evil, because it is
next to a criminal public act To place the
material welfare Of the whole people in
the hands of acknowledgements without
character, ability or even the first con
ceptiOn of the duties of a legislator.
Congress already furnishes too many ex-
amples. We have seen how they have
treated and voted upon the leading ques-
lions of the day without regard to the
equities involved. or even the wishes of
their constituents. Unable as they are
TO comprehend more than the superb
cial small talk which floats upon the sur
face Of all important questions, they
load their mouths with blank cartridges
pull the trigger and fire away. But the
trouble is lhat On the call of yeas and
NAYS every such vote counts one. l. fig-
ureS in the result TO the same effect as
though they were ths Claws and the
Summers of the day. The folly of send
ing and running such men to congress-

pie should consider that their first duty
is to themselves-their homes and insti-
tutioDs. How the greatest good is to be
attained by taking up political tramp.
and delegating 10 him the power to
make their laws, passes common under
standing.
This C0xey seems to be an exag-
gerated nonentitv. lie is deficient even
IN the brute courage of man who
would essay to cali public notice toward
him as he has. His expedition was not
only farce and a failure. but when con-
fronted by the first obstacle to his crazv
plans he surrendered withou, protest. \

his ardor that he deserted his Inflated
followers. and struck out Tor home to

coward can muster 4 following suffi-
