WILL GO TO THE ASYLUM

PORTLAND, Aug. lO.-A religious
crank who in a moment of undue ex-
element might prove more dangerous
than Preacher Reed, annoyed the peo.
pie Of Ladd & Tllton's bank not lit
tie yesterday afternoon. His name is
W, II. FELTON,; he is thirty-six years
old, claiming to, -and probably does,
hail from Stayton, Marion county.
The insane fellow has papers in his
possession, purporting to represent
$4,000, 900, belonging to the Lord, that
he had deposited in the bank, and
which he desired to draw out. He he
came SO importunate that the bank
people caused his arrest at o'clock,
Chief of Police Mimic detailing Detec-
tive Joe Day to bring the man to the
station. R
FELTON, proved to be one Of the quiet,
dreamy class Of lunatics, who are as
dangerous as a keg of powder. The
arresting officer detected IN him the
kind ola crank, who, had he a gun,
would have forced the payment of his
imaginary claini at the expense of hu-'
man blood. He was not long detained
at the police station, but conveyed to
the caunty jail, from whence he will,
in all probability be sent to the inssne
asylum.

lmolt one-half or two-thirds is cover

At work, and set a portion Of the roof
on fire. The meh tried to put out the
flames with blankets and coats, and In
a few minutes they were glad to let it
alone and run for their lives. The

flames famed by strong wind, swept
The buildings and carried everything
IN their path. Two engine companies
we're sent from Chicago, one from Jol-
let and one from Lamont. The fire
had eaten up most Of the business
portion when the engines arrived, but
was extinguished in an hour after
ward. Part OF the town hall and post
Office was destroyed including the
records. Lockport Is in Will county,
on the big drainage canal, about thirty.
two miles southeast from Chicago and

MEN WE'RE BURNED ALIVE

Wednesday night Of last week at
Pendleton, fire consumed the Transfer
hotel, and several adjoining buildings
on Main street, one block from the
Oregon Railway 4 Navigation depot.
The loss Is about $4,000; the insurance
half that amount. Four bodies have
been recovered from the ruins, and
one man besides is still missing.
Frank Breeding and Old Wolf, an In
dian, were two of thpse recovered.
The others missing are g. Clacking,
William Stre,nsen and J. D. Taylor.
II Is thought the fifth body may be
found. The fire originated on the up
per floor OF the Transfer house, when
a man dropped match near some
gasoline. There were twenty.nine
guests. The family Of the landlord
consisted Of six persons.
LATER-There are many reasons to
think someone was murdered before
fire was set to the Transfer house, and
that the the hotel was burned to wipe
cut the evidence of guilt. A woman
who was carried olt duringsthe fire
said she saw man lying in a pool Of
blood. The story was at first discred-
tied, hpt now it is again beint made
the subject Of inquiry, and the opinion
is general that she was right, and
there is much evidence to prove the
statement is true. Officers are making
a quiet search, end gre neglecting no
means thai may lead to feireting out
the fiends who are responsible for this
terrible calamity. -sy ?

MEXICO SATISFIED THAT 1T IS A
. GOOD THING.
New York, May 3O.-Mr. Romero, the
Mexican minister at Washington, con-
tributed to the June number of the North
American Review, an article which is of
interest in its bearings upon the discus
sion of the silver question. Mr.. Romero
points out that while other leading COM
mercial nations have the single stand
ard, the silver standard in Mexico en-
courages very largely the increase of ex-
port Of domestic products. The silver
standard also stimulate the developement
OF home manufacturers. The price of
foreign commodities being so high that
1t pays well to make some of them at
nome. One great advantage on which
Mr.. Romero lays stress is that the low
price OF silver abroad makes it unprofit-
able to export it. The circulation u.s.
therefore, increased so that there is now
an ample supply of money in the banks
which stimulates industry, maintains
prices and Increases the demand for la
Dor. On the other hand, he points out
that the silver standard has greatly re-
duced importation and the import duties,
which until recently were the largest
source OF Mexican revenue, are there
fore much diminished.
