A New Coon.

We are surprised to see the position Rep
reseutative Coon is taking in the senatorial
struggle at Salem. He was elected to rep
resent Wasco and Sherman counties with
almost the universal impression that he was
firm supporter of Senator Dolph. who has
more than has any other man ever sent to
congress from this state. Mr.. Coon has
Joined the band of anti DoIph workers, has
voted for Moore and for Hermann, and we
presume will vote for any candidate lu
order to defeat Do'ph. If he hal even in.

last June that he intended if elected, to
fight Dolph for U. s. Stnator, we feel safe
25 Republican votes east of the Deschutes,
and would have fallen far short of his party
vote throughout the entire counties which
he representa-. Mr.. Coon undoubtedly
knows that it is the desire of at least four
fifths of the Republicans who elected him to
have Hon. ]. N Dolph return to the U, 8
senate, and why he should now turn quare
around and totally disregard the interests
ard wishes of his constituents is probably
best known to himself. MIR. McGreer is
true to his constituents, and we are all
proud to see his name recorded with the AZ
true and determined Republicans who are
fighting for Mr.. Dolph and for sound
financial system. L, Republican party of
this county will remember Mr.. McGreer for
the honorable stand he has taken in this
senatorial eontest-and they will also re-
member Mr.. Coon.

death will be greatly deplored. The funeral

The first CT the spring fights happened
this morning, and created quite an excite

streets. The facts appear that one man
struck another, but no blood was split or

sworn out, and the matter will be settled
in the courts.
The performance tonight of "Frou Frou"
at the opera house, ID sure to be greeted by
an even larger house than welcomed the

A Chinasa VI addinu.

The court house WAS the scene of some
thing unusual in its history this afternoon.
and that was a wedding of Chinese. Miss
Leong Sin for some time past has felt an
attraction for Gung Song, and she longed to
clasp him to her bosom and claim him az
hers until death did them part. According
to the statutes of the state of Oregon a
ioense was granted them, and armed with
this, they repaired to Justice Davis. He
took them to the court house and the in.
dissoluble knot was tied. Now it makes
little difference whether the Tartar dynasty
of Ming, who has held control over Chinese
affans for several hundred years continues
in power or not Leopg Sin and Gung Song
are husband aud wife until death do them
part. She is proYerblal blushiDg bride,

Surprising Discovery.

Nearly every person will be surprised to
learn that John 81. Coblentz, the late war
den of the Walla Walla penitentiary. was
| creditor of the state of Washington A,
any rate, three sets of experts have been al
work on the books of the penitentiary-one
| appointed by the governor. one BY the di
| rectors. and one by the bondsmen of the
late warden-and tine outcome of the in
vestigation has been the discovery that the
warden was not defaulter. There is q
balance IN his favor of $500.
| The conclusion Is natural that the snicide
\ Of Coblentz was unaccountable. II he
owed nothing. and If there was no faint oi
! crime clinging to his skirts, it would appe 81
that come mystery must be behind the act,

Figures don't lie," but liars will figure,
and while the experts may have made an
effort to 90 through the books and ferret
out irr egularities, the accounts may have
been in such shape as to make it impos
sible to show the real CONDITION. The liars
may have done the figuring before the ex.
perts were set to work.
Doubtless he expected that a shortage
would be shown, and took his life to says
facing the disgrace which would follow an
expose. The Washington legislature will
pursue an investigation through a COM
mttee, and the matter will be sifted to the
bottom. In case the present figures are the
correct ones, it will be proven that one of
the most tragical and sensational events
which has occurred in the Paclf, North.
west was without meaning, and the basis
for the act of the suicide was an ill-defned
fear that an ug'y aspect was to be put on
things. An OLYMPIA writer says In letter
to the Portland Ssa:
"Coblentz had been travelling over the
state for three days hunting for the goyer-
nor to lay the case before him. When he
finally met the governor at Walia Walla
the state executive cooliy Informed him
that there was plenty of evidence to prove
him an embezsler of a large amount of the
states money. All attempts at exp'ana.
ton were met with the accusation that he
was proven guilty and should resign at once.
To fact. Coblentz' explanations were not
listened to. his proud nature rebelled
True to his disposition, he kept a stiff
upper lip to the last, and asked the arrest
ing officer for time IN which to finish his
supper. stepped into the next room, and,
with his natural impulse to use his gun
quickly in an emergency, turned 1t upon
hlmse f, with the mental satisfaction that
he would fool his accusers after all. None
of his friends would have been surprised if
that gun had been drawn against another,
but they could not account for the suicide
until all the circumstances came to light.
Now they are anxious not only to vindicate
Coblentz, but to get at the bottom of the
whole business"
