OBITUARY.
Born, Living. Dying and Casting An
chor In the Silent Grave"


George Mclean, who was buried Sum
day, May 27, under the auspices Of AS
toria lodge No. so, A. o. u. W., of
which he was an honored member, was
born in North Knapdale Parish, Ar
gyleshire, Scotland, 1912.
He learned his trade at Greenock,
Scotland, and in 1869 came to Canada.
Not being satisfied there he emigrated
to this Coast and located at Portland,
where he was married. After two years
work in the Willamette Iron Works, in
that city, he came to Astoria, and has
been an honest, industrious, upright
citizen Of this city since that time.
He leaves loving wife and five chill
dren.
He was charter member OF Seaside
lodge, A. o. U. W., in whose councils he
held high place. Again and again he
has filled positions of trust in the order.
with credit to himself and the lodge.
During the few months previous to his
death he suffered greatly, and though
he had the best medical skill, yet ex-
hausted nature at length gave way and
death came almost painless.
A manly heart has ceased to beat
forever.
Such a life as his confers dignity and
honor upon any one. His was unas-
Stunning and gentle, and "thc elements
were so mixed in him that nature might
stand up and say, this was man."
His personal qualifications are known
to all our citizens. He was reserved,
neither inquisitive nor meddling; faith
full to all duties frank and fearless in
the expression of his opinion and in the
performance of his duty. He was true
to his lodge obligations, and his fell
low Workmen condole with the widow
and her children on account Of their ir-
reparable loss. We, as his fraternal
brothers, feel that could he again speak
to us his latest human counsels he
would admonish us to cling more ten
aciolsly than ever to the watchwords Of
our order. In him they were truly veri-
fled.
He went to the grave with hope un-
shadowed, and with no film Of fear or
doubt resting over the future.
One more heart has been silenced by
the same power of Him who said to
the rolling waves of Galllee, Peace,
be still"
Our lodge has lost loyal brother,
Astoria an honorable citizen. and his
family loving father.

The prostitution Of the senate nlanip-
ulators to the sugar trust is a blistering
public scandal The relations are open,
notorious and undisguised. They are
written in the connection between the
senate chamber and Wall street. They
are recorded on the stock ticker They
stand out in the unmistakable terms Of
the sugar schedule. The corrupt and
shameless operations by which senator's

to put money in their purse and by
which they have rewarded the sugar

vice, have been plain in a general way

NO APPEAL.
Breckenridge Denied Leave to File
Exceptions.

Washington, May 2S.-Judge Bradley
this afternoon overruled the motion Of
the counsel for Col. w. C. p. Brecken-
ridge for leave to file bill Of exception,
by virtue of which the suit of Miss
Madeline Pollard against him might be
carried to a higher court. This action
was taken because of the objection
made by the counsel for Miss Pollard
that breckenridge had not compiled
with the law requiring that the bill Of
exceptions be furnished to them within
three days before the expiration of the
time within which the motion to file
had been made. Therefore this will pre-
vent an appeal being taken.

A New Railroad Scheme for Astoria

A New Railroad Scheme for Astoria.
st. Paul, May 2S.-A special from
Portland, Or, to the Dispatch, says;
ut has been discovered here that an
attempt was being made to force the
Oregon and Navigation Company into
the hands of a receiver. If that be done
it will have the effect of butting off
the western end of the Missouri Pa
ciflc. The bondholders' candidate for
receiver is e. McNeall, general mana
ger of the Iowa Central, who recently
refused the general managership of the
Great Northern, and the step contem-
plated may mean the ultimate control
of that by the Great Northern. AS soon
as the receivership is accomplished the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany will be completed from Portland
to Astoria"

Results in a Sweeping Victory for the Re.
 publican Party. with Governor, Congress-
 men and State Legislature.
 PORTLAND, Me, Sept. 10.-The elec- tion to-day resulted in an overwhelm- ing republican victory. The republic ans polled the full strength of their party and probably gained votes among the democrats. The democratic vote shows remarkable falling of as compared with two years ago, in many towns the vote being only one-third as large.
 Gov. Cleaves was reelected by Q plurality which. at . late hour to- night, apparently exceeds 37,Ooo and may reach 3s,0O0. The four congress men are returned by increased majori- ties.
 In the first district Reeds vote far exceeds any given before, the indica- tions pointing to a plurality of s,20o. In Biddeford, formerly democratic stronghold, his plurality approaches 800. In this city, his home, he has 1,690.
 The legislature which will elect a United States senator will be almost solidly republican.

SWEPT BY FIRE.
The Town of Dalton, O., Nearly Wiped Out
 of Existence.


 MAssILLoN, O., Sept. 1.-The town of Dalton, located miles north of here, was almost totally destroyed by fire early this morning. The fire orig mated in a stable, and while the direct cause of its origin is unknown, it is pre- sumed that it was prompted by tramps making quarters for the night The entire loss is estimated at S20O, 900, the heaviest losers being the Royal Insur- ance Co. The post office was included in buildings burned.
 Canton, Massillon and Orrville fire departments were bastily summoned and respoded, but their presence was of no avail, as sufficient water could not be procured to do any good. The citi- zens are frantic with grief over the loss of their business blocks and residences and homeless women and children are seen on every corner crying bitterly.
 All the telegraph wires were burned down, and the only communication with the outside world is by train.
 The buildings destroyed at Dalton number thirty-three. The total loss figures TO S200. .0o0 and the ins trance is only SaU, ooo Every business house in the vilis-e k destroyed.

NOT SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE.

Defendants Charged with Obstructina
 United States Maila at Willmar Dis-
 charged.
 MINNEAPoLIs. Minn., Sept. H. George Caruthers, charged with ob- structing the United States mails at Willmar last April during the Great Northern strike, came before Judge Nelson in the United States district court yesterday morning. After the trial the jury was withdrawn and the case dismissed. The court held that the evidence in the indictment was not sufficient to inform the defendant in what particular way the mails were re- tarded. The argument quashing the indictment against the remainder of the cases, fifteen in number, for ob- structing the mails, was allowed by the court, and the defendants dis missed.
 The cases of the strikers charged with conspiring against the passage of the United States mails were con- tinued until the next term of court.

A CHANGE OF VENUE.
A Little Rock Paper Believes Failure ta Render Justice in Many Criminal Cases Is Due to the Change-of-vcnue Law.

 A Little Rock Paper Believes Failure ts
 Render Justice in Many Criminal Cases
 Is Due to the Change-of-vcnue Law.
 Says the Little Rock Gazette: "The miscarriage of justice in Arkansas-and it is appalling to contemplate in many sections of the state-is due largely to the change of venue in criminal cases Under our constitution the accused has the right to change the venue to any other county in the judicial district in which the indictment is found, but the state has no such right In order to still further protect the in- terests of the accused the constitution provides that the general assembly shall not pass any local or special law changing the venue in criminal cases. Any man accused of crime can get a change of venue. The result of it is that with the delays and continuances, incident to criminal prosecutions, very large proportion of the crimes that are committed go unwhipped of justice. In this county especially crimes has increased at a fearful rate, and the cause of it is largely due to the ease with which criminals can free them selves by change of venue to an ad- joining county. In the interest of public justice it is high time that there should be such change in our laws as will give the people as well as the ac- cused fair standing in the courts.

THE ARKANSAS WATERMELON

A Statement That Melons Can Be Grown in Southwest Arkansas and Pushed Into Market Ahead of the Georgia Melon. One of the discoveries made by State Commissioner Vincenheller in south
 west Arkansas this year is the suita- bility of the country and climate to
 melons, early enough to head off Geor-
 gia in the Mississippi valley and vest ern lake markets.
 His discoveries were to the effect that at the time ot the first arrival of
 Georgia melons in the Little
 Rock market, near Magnolia, Co.,
 lumbia county, this state, the
 local melon had already grown to fif- teen and twenty pounds weight on the
 river. And to outstrip the Georgia
 melon his reasoning is not only to plant early varieties, but that if planted in cold frames and set out in the first good weather it would not be impossible to deliver an Arkansas melon in eastern markets in advance
 of both Georgia and the Sea Island country of the Carolina coast.
 The Little Rock Gazette understands
 that the subject of the southwest Ar
 kansas melon, and of its berries and garden truck as well, is to be brought formally before the next legislature by | members from that part of the state. It is to come up in the form of bill to
 have experiments along such lines authenticated by the state commission
 CT of agriculture, and the time our fruits, melons and garden truck reach
 their earliest maturity published off,
 cially for distribution among fruit
 growers and gardeners over the United States.
