Medford's Move.

MEDFORD, Or, Feb. To-day q
subscription paper was circulated in
Medford to ascertain what amount
could be raised as an inducement for
the people of Jackson county to re-
move the county seat from Jackson.
vile to this city. As result of two
hours work, $4,000 was subscribed. No
signatures were accepted for q less
amount than $500, although several
smaller ones were offered, but were de-
ferred until latter. All the men who
put their names down today are
worth many times the amount given,
and will doubtless give more should IL
be necessary. Those who have the
matter in charge feel greatly pleased
at the result of their efforts today, and
think that $4,000 can be raised, in o
few days, within the immediate vicin.
ity of Medford. The meter will be
pushed as rapidly as possible and,
should sufficient inducements be of.
cred, the proposition will be immedi-
ately placed before the citizens of the
country. There seems t, be little OPP
position to the move. AS Medford is
located in the center Of the valley and
on the railroad, it is thought by Med
ford people to be the only proper place
in the county for the county seat.

AN EDITORS HARD L0TE
ASSAULT ON ONE IN ASTORIA
The Cause Was an Article Which
1t Was Though Reflected
On the Camera
Club.

ASTORIA, Feb. 2.--Another AS.
toria newspaper editor was in trouble
yesterday, and warrants were issued
today for the arrest of Phil Cook and
G. Timson, charged with assault and
battery on the person Of G. Woods,
brother-in-law of Representative C. J.
Curtis, and editor pro tenn. of the Her
aid. Those accused Of the assault are
members of the Columbia Camera
Club, an organization composed of q
number of the best young men in
town, who took umbrage at an article
that appeared in this weeks issue Of
the Herald. In the offensive article it
was claimed that the young ladies who
ATTENDED an entertainment given by
the Camera club, in being escorted to
the hall, were compelled to pass
through a disreputable part of the
town; that the views In the exhibition
shown were poor. and that the camera
used was worthless. The article also
cast q serious reflection ON the charac-
ter Of the members of the club. When
Mr.. Woods was called upon, he denied
having intended any insult, but bis
callers refused to accept the explana-
tion, and proceeded to chastise him,
The editor clinched his assailant, and
before anv damage was done assistance
arrived, and the combatants were
separated. Several other members Of
the Camera club have promised to give
Editor Woods thrashing, and the
outcomeof the affair is awaited with
interest.

Not Settled Yet.

EUGENE, Or, Feb. To-day the
heirs Of Joseph Bailey received from
the government SIS, ,lsO, In settlement
of an Indian depreciation claim, v hich
they have worked for for years. Mr..
Bailey was killed, aud his cattle,
horses and other property destroyed
by the Indians during the troubles on
Rogue river in 1852. The case of Sc.
curing damages from the government
was commenced fifteen years ago.
Now that the claim has been allowed
by the government, and the money
paid, the litigation is not ended, as
there will, In all probability, be a big
contest to decide who are the rightful
heirs to receive the property. The
lawyers say there will be long con.
test over 1t, and it is doubtful how II
will finally end. The brothers Of the
deceased will be interested in the case.

clear that we are simply trying to full.
fil our promises 10 them and carry out

man who will honestly and ably rep.

Yaquina Bay.

A dispatch from Portland reads:
Captain T. w. Symons of the U. 8.
corps OF engineers has Just made an
official report In which he declares
that Yaquina Bay, Oregon, is un-
worthy Of further improvement by the
government. His opinion is endorsed
by Col. Mendell, division engineer,
and by Gen. Casey, chief Of engineers.
Capt. Symons in his report says: "The
plan for the improvement of Yaquina
Bay, as proposed by competent board
of engineers, has been practically COM
pleted, and the improvement of the
bar has been all or more than the
board hoped would be accomplished.
There is NOW permanently located
channel with from twelve to fourteen
feet depth at low water. In my
opinion it is beyond the power of man
to make 1t harhor of sufficient capa.
city for deep draft ships engaged IN
foreign commerce or In fact to give
this entrance a bar channel depth ap
preciably greater than now existing
And yet Yaquina will a.ways be 9

dark brown overcoat and . Black crush
hat, walked into Bush's bank and pre-,
sented q check for $50, signed by Leo

toned the man before cashing the

signature if he desired. !. The check
was cashed but no sooner had the for
ger passed out the door when West ran
straight for Leo Willis Office, where
he learned that it was forgery.

Ices he secured, and they went immedi-
stely to the depot on their bicycles, ar
riving just before the train reached the
depot. West pointed out the forger to
Coss just as he was going aboard the
train and they both siezed the man.

first, but was soon under control and
marched to the county jail. Upon be-
ing searched, $26l.lO was found on his
person, 255 Of which was gold. Be
sides this amount he had eight checks
already made out and endorsed by Sa-
lem business men but had not signed
them. He also had the signatures Of a

sn agent for theatrical troupe, and
asking the rates for the opera house
These letters Mr.. Willis answered and

1Ap Insane Mother.

NAPA, CAL, Feb. g.--An awful
tragedy occurred here early this morn.
ING in the home of Peter Meternich,
who resides In the northern part of
this city. Mrs. Meternich, while in
sane, undertook to kill her four chill.
dren, and succeeded in doing them all
serious injury. Mrs. Meternich had
had periods Of insanity, but had not
been very violent, and her husbnnd
had always cared for her at home and
avoided having her committed to the
asylum, Her mania was a religious
one, and she had the delusion that she
had greatly sinned against God, and as
punishment for her sin her children
were 10 be sold into slavery. She had
threatened to kill the Children to avoid
this. Her husband went away to his
work this morning at $3.50 O'Clock leav-
ing all at home in apparent quite, hut
within half hour his wife had taken
an ak and with it fearfully cut and
beaten every one of the children. The
children are Ethel, eight years; An
tone, six years; Pauline, three years,
and baby eighteen months old. They
were all struck, intiiction ugly gashes
and fearful bruises. 1t is feared that
the baby will die, as there are sympt.
oms Of concussion of the brain. The
other children will probably recover.
She would probably have killed them
all had the neighbars not heard them
scream and came to the rescue. The
woman was caught In her frenzy and
taken to the county Jail and later ex.
amined and committed to the insane
asylum.
