Death on the Rail.

The Union Pacific Spokane and Port
land passenger train No 6, arriving this
morning, 21a miles east of Winona,
Wash, at 5:25 last evening, struck and
killed Joseph Bush, foreman OF an irrl /
eating ditch at Hooper. Bush was riding
down the track between Lacrosse and
Wlnona on velocipede car when struck
by the engine drawing Nc. 6, west-bound
He was thrown from the velocipede and
killed, and his body was sent to Coltax
under instructions from the coroner of
Whitman county.
The Yelocipede car was owned by the
ditch company, and the employees have
been accustomed to use it in travelling
along the railroad, aiming to keep out of
the way of trains. Bush evidently did
not hear the train coming, and probably
did not think OF its being the regular
time of the passenger train. He was
under the influence of liquor at the time,
and unressonably careless. But little is
known of him by the employees or passen-
gers of the tram arriving,and the railroad
company has not as yet received the mail
report of the particulars. The telegraphic
report contains only the information that
the accident had occurred, and does not
state the circumstances.

A Self-Paying Sheep Dip.

OF all the dips on the market none can
excel the Cooper sheep dip for its splendid
effects upon the wool. 1t invigorates the
growth to an extent only known by those
who use 1t, and 1t returns ITS cost in better
and more wool. while as a curative it is un-
equalled. Its superiority over all liquid
dips is acknowledged the world over.

No Suffering Here.

Antelope Herald: Notwithstanding Gov
Pennoyer's statements to the contrary. the
people of Oregon, and especially those of
eastern part of the state, have experienced
less suffering during this great financial
panic than they have in any other portion
of the union. While there are many out Of
employment, no actual suffering for the
want of food or clothing has been exper-
fenced. Everybody has plenty TO eat and
wear, and some to give to their less unfort-
unate brethren, if necessary. Although
their debts are Hanging fire" creditors
and debtors are willing to suffer alike, and
there is but very little crowding done.
Take into consideration the great suffering
experienced nearly everywhere else, and we
have no room for complaint. Rest easy,
and if the Wilson bill is defeated, we will
all be able to meet our obligations, and Iu-
side of six months enjoy the same prosper.
ity that we did year ago. If the bill is
not defeated-right here we'll give it hope
lessly up.

Umatllla COUNTY 8 Treasurer Short.

UmaIll O0uubV 1r6aSurbr OhOrbs
A special dispatch to the Walla Walla
Statesman, dated Pendleton, January 29th,
says:
ait is reported upon good authority In
this city that M. E. Folsom, treasurer of
Umatills county, ,Ihas been found short In
his accounts in the sum OF $4,000. The
discovery was made on a demand of the
county court for statement The sure
ties upon Folsom's bonds are held in
high esteem, perfectly able TO make the
amount good. Among them, it is said,
are Thos. Rouarke, the banker.
Mr.. Folsom, Umatills county's treas
urer, is gentleman we'll known to all
residents and always as an honorable cit
izen and an upright officer. The news of
the shortage causes much comment and
not a little criticism. Folsom carries ON
the blacksmithing business here, and, as
usual heretofore, has had no regular office
in which to do business as treasurer.
"Mr. Folsom has more sympathy than
condemnation from those with whom
your reporter has talked. 1t is very prob
able that the matter will be settled; but
if not, it is rumored there will be devel
opments made which will make interest
ing reading matter"
