Talk Must Be Quieted. ExsEA
Especial to the PRESS.)
Bangor, Me-, Septembe 3d. So much
publicity has been given o.the amazing
stories of poisoning which have emanat-
ed from Plymouth during the past two
days that County Attorney Bailey has
decided that only the most rigid investi-
cation will satisfy the public mind, and
so he has ordered it. Deputy Sheriff
W. H. Toothaker of Dixmont has charge
of the case and is working upon it quiet
ly, but determinedly. The first move
will be an autopsy upon the body of
Willis Cowan, the little boy who died
last Saturday, and the remains were
disinterred today for that puprose. The
autopsy is in charge of nrs. King and
Brown, who atten led him during his
illness and who pronounced him out of
danger when their services were dis
pensed with. After they have examined
the remains the stomach will be sent to
Professor f. G. Robinson at Bowdoin
College, who will determine whether the
child died a natural death or from pois-
oning. The case is of course, causing
great excitement in the vicinity of the
home of the COwans, and a fresh impe-
tuS was given the rumorS when it was
learned that Elias Cowan and his wife
had suddenly left home Monday, the
woman for Augusta and the man for
Gardiner. Mrs. Cowap, who is the central
figure of the whole sensation, is 81 years
old and rather palma great talker, and
quite well appearing when we'll dressed.
She is a Spirtiualist, and has been a
school teacher and processes to know
something Of medicine. heing fond of
interfering technical terms in conversa-
tion as if to display her, superior know
ledge. She has been nurse at times,
and is said have mania for service in
that capacity in the asylums for the in
sane.
The stories referred to grew out of the
death of little child of the Cowan's,
who is said to have died suddenly after
two physicians pronounced him out of
danger. The neighbors conceived the
idea that the child was poisoned, though
for what reason does not clearly appear,
and their talk has cast suspicion upon
the child's stepmother. Added to these
stories are others to the effect that the
woman's two former husbands died un-
der suspicious circumstances. So far
not particle of solid evidence has been
produced to support any of these stories
But they are SO current and are attract
ing so much attention that the authorit ties
have concluded that it is their duty to
investigate them.

Washington, September, 25.-The depart
ment of state has received formal notifica-
tion from Mr.. Mendonca. the Brazilian minis
ter of the abrogation of the reciprocity ar
rangement existing between the United
States and his own country, to take effect
January 1.-The now tariff law abogated all
reciprocity treaties without notice and the
governme MT of Brazil has seen fit to give
three months notice. Brazilian sugar,
coffee, molasses and hides are.not admit
ted free to this country since the new tariff
bill : became law and all advantages to
the manufactured iron goods, railroad sup
plies and agricultural products, entering
Brazil from the United States will continue
in forcesuntil the end of the present year.
1t is claimed while the Brazilian recipro-
city has been advantageous to Brazilian
sugar producers its abrogation will not
work any material harm to American in
terests in Brazil as the free wool of the
new tariff will create considerable new
trade between the two countries and
slight increase of duty against those arti-
cles affected by the new arrangements will
not materially diminish their exports to the
United States

SWINGING AROUND THE CIRCLE.
The Journal Man Visits Coxey's Tenn
pie on the Elkhorn.

Tuesday THE JOURNAL representa-
tive left Salem with party to All sew
eral appointments ia the Santlam
country and incidently explore an al
legged discovery Of a cut stone structure
seven miles northeast Of Mill City In
the Cascade mountains.
At Mehama a May day dance cut of
the flow Of eloquence, but the Republi.
cans are well organized there and will
poll larger plurality than ever. We
proceeded over the mountain range to
Mill City where Joseph Fones had
called a meeting of the Republican
club and we'll attended meeting was
held. More speakers are wanted In
his section. The streams are alive
with trout aud the woods are full Of
Republicans. There are some Demo
Gratis, more Populists, but few Pennoyer
or Cleveland men.
Crossing the mountain range TO the
north with packhorses we reached the
site Of the stone temple or pyramid of
lack siennite, a rock 80 hard that
lri is are dull in fifteenI minutes. N.
2. Quinby and Sherman Barhan made
t te discovery. 1t appears to have been
W. hundred feet high, standing on
he point Of a bench of land, on the
south bank Of the north fork of the
N nth fork of the Santiam river. AS
1t has no owner and is of no use on
ca tn, we named 1t Coxey's temple.
We left party with drills and
dynamite to explore 1t further and
await their report. 1t is a wonderful
discovery, whether work of nature OF
Of art, though now badly in ruins
severed with moss and overgrown with
rees.
Coming back we addressed an en-. |
,husiastic Republican meeting at Cox's
Ichool house. Men came out from tn.
'aIleys and Off the mountains and Col.
3aker of Mehama delivered stirring
ddress. At the close the benches
we're cleared out aud fifteen or twenty
t the young ladies proceeded to or
Inize dance.
The pleasant roaring of the bounding
ooming waters of the Santiam are
I'LL In our ears. Every drop of IL
lakes noise. 1t is like the Populist
lrty.
There is a man up on the North Fork
y name of Taylor who has been per.
isded to join the Republicans. He
YES on what was once the edge of deer
elt and on several occasions Geo. Col
ns, Jap Mimic and Bill Anderson have
lade headquarters at his place on their |
'er-slaying excursions. They will be q
eased to learn that he has come out
rong for the Republican side. or G
'urse, 1t would not naturally be ex-
'cted that there are many deer left 10 !
at section. But there are some.
