A MISSING MAN. Strange Disappearance
 Yesterday Of B. Muller From an Adams Street House.
It Is Suspected That He Has
 Taken His Own Life.
Hopeless III Health and Wasting Funds Had Rendered Him
 Despondent.

There was mysterious disappear ance yesterday morning from the resi- dence of Mir. I. N. Bell at 427 West Adams street. The missing man is a loGger named B. Muller, who came here from New York, accompanied by his wife, about six weeks ago. Mrs. Muller is prostrated by grief and fear, for she believes that she will never see her husband alive. Suicide is sus- pected, as he had recently and fre- quently told her that lite had become a burden which he would rather lay down than sustain.
 Early yesterday morning Mrs. Mul- Ter, who had gone into the kitchen, returned to the apartments occu pied by herself and her husband. He was not in and observing that his hat was also gone, she hurried to the street door and SAW him going in the direc. tion of the Sixth Avenue hotel. She called to him and he replied that he would return in an hour.
 When he had not come back at noon Mrs. Muller grew uneasy and inquiry was begun in the eighborhood but no one could be found who had seen hlm since he replied to his wife.
 It is feared that he may have drowred himself in the canal which is now run ming full and swift. He had no weapon with which he could have taken his lite and so far as known he had no poison ous drug in his possession. Inquiry was made at every drug store in the city last night concerning sales of poison within the lSst week or two and at none of them had any been sold to any one answering Muiler's description. It is believed to be possible that he mavshsve wandered out into the coun- try, have become prostrated by heat, taken to some h0Dse and not have re- covered sufficiently to give an account oi himself.
 The following description of him has been furnished: Age, 39; height, five feet ten inches; weight,
 1855, full beard, short quite gray on the chin and carefully parted; he wore a
 light felt crush hat with wide black band, light check coat and brown
 trousers with small stripe. Any infor-
 nation concerning person of thls i, description will be thankfully received
 by Mrs. Muller or Mr. Bell.
 The missing man and his wife are residents ot New York city where he was for years steward at Delmonico's. He came here to find relief from an almost hopeless case of consumption. For some time after his arrival he was quite cheerful but for the past week or
 two he exhibited signs of despondency over the hopelessness of his disease and
 the wasting away of his funds.
 Muller was gentleman of excellent educa.i)n anl pleasing manners. He
 was good linguist, fuently speaking four languages. He was we'll acquainted
 with many of the most prominent men of the country with whom he came in : contact at the worl1-famous restaurant.

The appropriation having beer
exhausted, work on the north jetty
was discontinued last Wednesday.
Contractor Daniel Kern returned to
Portland Thurday morning and the
tug which has been towing tue
stone barges will be sent to 4 tor,.A.
Whether there will be any more
government work done depends
upon the report of the engineers
appointed to investigate. Mr.
Holcomb, who has charge Of the
work here, was instructed BY tile
engineers to make a thovough sur
vey of the bay. This ae has com.
pleted and forwarded to Captain
Syiuons at Portland. IN time, The
engineers will meet, probably in
Cincinnati, and consider all data
lalu before then. Without doubt.
the work already done has resulted
in much good. 1t is learned from
excellent authority that it is toss
up whether continued work would
be beneficial or a mere waste of
money. Under these circumstan-
ces, it is the opinion Of those com-
petent 10 make q prediction, that
the report of the engineers will be
favorable to Yaquina bay to the
extent that they will recommend !.
least one more appropriation, a'ad
if satisfactory results follow, the
work will be continued. In any
event, no money will be ava liable
for another year,

Hall, Of Philomath, were enroute to
the summit on a jaunt Of pleasure,

heard a laundering of hoofs and a
crashing of limbs in the brush near
them, when seven elk dashed into
view, but few yards from them.
They were both armed, and began
Immediately to pump lead into the
band, two bull calves falling at the
first volley. a third, an old bull,
was crippled and subsequently Sc
cured. The meat was all secured

Marion county has a suit to resist

for delinquency. Lincoln county
has paid her state taxes as we'll as
the accrued interest, aud so have
many of the h!ea a2ther counties in the
state. II remains now for Marion,
Multnomah, and a few other
wealthy counties TO resist and de-
feat the payment OF this interest.
In that way the interest OH state
warrants that have been incurred
by the reasoD of the failure of these
counties to pay their taxes v'!:ea
due will have to be made up by an

of the state. And yet the consti.

shall pay the further sum of one
dollar per acre, final proof to be
made within five years from the
date of entry, and three years
actual residence on the land shall
