Wednesday of this week DIR. E B. PIcke,
OF Medford. Southern Oregon, received from
DR.. Mipgus, of Portiaod, bottle of anti
toxine, and the same afternoon administered
it to child of John Nortor, residing about
four miles south OF Medford. Saturday the
patient was discharged by the physician.
There have been several cases OF diphtheria
near Medford of late, and the result OF ad-
mnistering this medicine has been watched
with interest, not only there, but by the
medical profession all over the state, as it
was the first case on which the medicine
was tried in Oregon.
The counterfeiters in Walla Walla are
rapidly being arrested, and the gang will
be eventually broken up, it is hoped. Tbe

the arrest OF one of them: "W. IL. Green

Fatal Shooting.

w
While playing with some other boys on a
vacant lot between the city and the garri-
son about II o'clock this morning little g.
year-old Charles Rose, son of T. J. Rose,
the second hand dealer, was fatally shot by
a companion named Arthur Isitt. From
one Of the boys the following facts were
learned in regard to the matter: Young
Isitt was sitting on the ground, with %
calibre rifle lying across his lap, and the
Rose boy was playing around with che other
little fellows. ALI at once Isitt, who is l3
years of age, said to Charles; "I'Il shoot
you, and at tine same time pointing the
gun which went of, sending a bullet crash
ing into the little boys head just above the
right temple. The little fellow was but
few feet away at the time and started to
run away, but staggered and fell to the
ground. He was Immediately taken to his
fathers home on Sixth street and DR.. Nelms
summoned, who, with the assistance of DR..
Cropp. made an examination of the case.
The bullet could not be found. but is sup
posed to haye lodged in or about the jaw
boue and serious doubts are entertained of
the recovery of the boy. Arthur Isitt was
arrested by officer Weidert who placed him
in the county Jail. Il is not thought that
the Istt boy shot Charles Intentionally, but
intended to scare him, and not knowing that
the gun was cooked the trigger was pulled
with the sad result. T. J. Rose and wife are
both in the east on visit, and as their
whereaboat is unknown they are still Ignor-
ant of the fatal accident which occurred to.

s.Smalipox Patient.

The name Of the smallpox patient in thl.
city is Mr.. s. Monahan, and he has b en- in
charge o: the feed yard, near the old mint
building, for some time. Last Thursday he
arrived in the city from Hot Springs, Ark,
where he had gone some weeks ago for the
benefit of his health. He was sick when
he came from ,hs train. and the disease
developed Saturday morning. The house
in which he was stopping-Mrs. Obarr's no.
tel-has bfen quaraptIned. and the in
mates-four ladies, and two gentlemen be.
side the patient and nurse-are not allowed
to leave the rooms. A fence has been built
on Second street, around that prrsion Of the
block. and no teams or persons are per.
mitted to pass. The dispatches today state
that Hot Springs. Ark, has been quaran-
tined. and this is the place where Mr.. Men,
ahan caught the oontsgion.

A Telephone L inc.

The project of building a telephone line
from The Dalles to Antelope is being ag-
.itated Wig ,rouslv in this county. and judg-
log from the intsrest manifested by most oil
those who would be the principal stock
holders, it is very probable that the scheme
will materialize before long. 1t is proposed
to build the line from The Dalles to this
place by way of Dufur. Boyd, KngsIey =,
Shearers Bridge. Bakeoven and Cross Hol-
lows. The distance between these two
points, taking this course, is something like
IS or 80 miles, and on account of the poles
being SO easily procured, the expense of
building the line would be much less than
that required in most other places. By
each OF the places named taking its propor-
tionste share of stock in the enterprise 1t
would not be hard matter to have the line
completed and in working order by the lst
of July. The Dalles is the shipping point
for this county, and telephone line to that
place would be of inestimabls value to every
citizen in this part of the interior. There
is not man doing business of any kind In
this part of the country but that would
haye occasion to use the telephone several
times each year. Such line would save a
man many long, tIresome, expenslve trip
to Tne Dalles, and we doa't believe there is
a citizen in this part of the country but
that would be glad to take stock IN the en-
tprnr,se Wo hone Tn hear of satrsfactory
Developments in the near future.

The Gates at the Looks.

Work Is proceeding favorably at ths
Cascade canal. One of the big steel gate.
is partially hung. 1t consists of sever
sections. five horizontal and two vertical
ones, which weigh from Is to 26 tons
each. Four of these sections are in posi-
tion, and the others will be put on as rap
idly as possible. These gates are to be
36 feet in height. The sections for one
pair and a part of another are on the
ground and it Is the intention to get the
first pair erected IN time to shut the June
flood out OF the canal, SO that the work
need not be interrupted by it. If the rise
is very great 1t will, of course, finally
overflow the gates, but it ia hoped that
there will net he great food this year,
and that there may be no interruption to
the work. The water at the Cascades is
lower now than 1t has been In a long
time, and advantage Is being taken of
this to complete the side walls of the
canal below the lower gate, which are 1aO
feet In length, and also the upper ends of
the walls, which together form the four
corners of the canal.

The Situation.

Last evening in Salem the supporters OF
Mr.. Dolph to the number of 80 met in eau
Gus, and by vote of II to l3 resolved to
support him to the last. Another confer
enee was held this morning, but the result
could not be ascertained This afternoon
there were eight ballots cast in joint con,
vention, and on six of these Mr. Dolph re.
ceived 3S, Williams, %, Hare 10. Galloway
7. Fulton 8. Lord 1 and Waldo I. On the
last two Mr.. Dolph lost two votes and the
nvention took recess until 7:30 this
evening As adjournment will be had at
IL midnight, it is hardly possible for the
Republicans to concentrate enough votes or
any candidate to elect him, and the legisIa
ture will adjourn without electing United
States senator. 1t is impossible to posi-
lively state the result at the last hour, for
mems minds act strangely and quickly at
times.

The SMALLPOX Alarm.

A committee of citizens who reside in the
of the committee on police and health OF
the common council, DR.. G. c. Esnelman,
this afternoon to protest against the re-
moval OF the inmates of the house in which
the smallpox patient is stopping to the pest
house in the vicinity of their homes. The
meeting was held in the council chambers,
and Mr.. G.. w. Miller, on the part of the
citizens, addressed the chairman, stating
that they feared for the health of their fam.
lilies by having those subjected to the con-
taeion IN close proximity. Several of the
medical fraternity were present, and Drs.
Doane, Sutherland and Skackleford stated
that there would be no danger of the con-
tagion spreading without persons were in
the room with the patient or come in per-
sonal contact with him. Twenty feet isola-
tion would be sufficient to guard against
any spread of the disease, aud the pest
house in the pines would be removed sew
eral rods from residences. DIR. Doane re-

the sidewalk adjoining a house in which
was person afh cted with smallpox with
out the disease developing In any of them,
and DR.. Sutherland also mentioned similar
ones, and DR.. Shsckleford, who had been
retailed as medical manager of several
smallpox hospitals, stated that he did not
think there was aDv danger to residents
from the proximity of the pest house to
dwelliogs.
After some further talk Mr.. S. B. Adams
took the ohaIrmanship of the meeting. and
speeches were made by Messrs III. T. Nolan,
j. P. McInery and others, some infamma.
tory and others in favor of obeying the or
ders of the board of health. The following
resolution, introduced by Mr.. German, was
then passed:
Resolved, That we, as citizens of The
DalIes. respectfully request the board Of
health of this city to authorize the persons
at present exposed to the smallpox in the
house IN which the patient is at present, if
possible, to be removed as far as practicable
from the resident portion of the city.
This appeared to coincide with the feel
ings OF the citizens present, and those ad-
vocatiDg resistance to the legally constituted
authorities were in the minority.

THE. TRUTH ABOUT THE BONDS

The financial question is an intricate
aud perplexing one, and only experts
are capable of comprehending and dis
cussing it in all of its various features,
says the Globe-Denaocrat. But it in
wolves some plain and significant facts
that the average citizen can easily un-
derstand, and that he should make it a
point not to forget. Among these
simple and important truths is the one
presented in Secretary Carlisle's recent
answer to a senate resolution concern
ing the sales of bonds previous to the
one that has just been made. The peo
pie have been told by the Democratic
leaders that those sales bad practically
nothing to do with the question of rev.
enue and that the proceeds were used,
solely to replsnish the gold reserve for
the protection of the currency. In his
special message urging the necessity of
legislation to facilitate further bond
selling, the president spoke of "com-
Portable surplus" In the treasury, thus
conveying the idea that there was no
lack of money for ordinary purposes,
and that the only trouble was want
of gold for specific object pertaining
to banking interests. The statement
of Carlisle, however, tells different
story, and places before the people the
figures which show at glance that the
situation has been misrepresented and
the actual facts distorted and confused
to save political ends.
According to the secretary's show
ing, S205, ,002,l43 Of the proceeds of
the first two bond sales were used, di-
rectly or indirectly, to pay the cur
rent expenses of the government. In
other words, an amount exceeding the
face value of the bonds sold was ap-
Piled to make good the difference be-
tween the public receipts and the pub
lie expenditures The money thus
obta!ned-that is to say, the money
borrowed on the national credit-went
into the gold reserve, technically
speaking, bat it did not stay there;
and the reason why it did not stay
there was that it had to be taken out
to meet deficits jim the revenue. At
least this is true as to l05,002, l43
of the $ll0,000,000 which was real
lied from the two bond sales of $50.-
100000 each, for Secretary Carlisle
SAYS so in an official communication.
The pu blic debt has been increased
about 100000, 900 with $62, 100000 |
more soon to be added, because the
Democratic plan of conducting the
business of the government has fallen
that much short of providing sufficient
funds to pay the regular expenses.
This portion of the financial problem
is not at all complicated Any intelli-
gent person can readily see what it
means, and where the responsibility
lies for such large addition to our
bonded Indebtedness in a time of
peace There are other factors in the
,ase, to be sure, relating to other
phases of the subject, but they do not
fleet this practical and conclusive
ruth. The acknowledgement of the
ecretary of the treasury leaves no
Dom for argument, and no excuse for
Loans have been
made necessary by Democratic inca
'aslty, particularly in the way of tariff
agislation, and all other explanations
re superficial and deceptive.
