sis,eso TO BE FOUGHT OVER.

The following from the Eugene Regis
ter is full OF interest. 1t is particularly
of Importance, as there are other claims
In Oregon OF a like nature before the gov
ernment:
A check from the government for $13.-
$50 was received here yesterday morning
for the heirs OF Joseph Bailey. This
case has quite history.
Joseph Bailey was pioneer resident
of this county, and during the Rogue
River Indian war started to California
with his stock and effects. When in the
vicinity of Canyonyil!e he VAS killed by
:. the Indians and his property taken and
destroyed. He left wife, but no child
rem. Cattle at that time were worth
about $3.50 to $500 per head, hogs were
! worth $40 head, and flour was worth
one dollar per pound, and others in pro-
portions 80 that his loss was quite heavy.
About thirteen years ago this case was
taken up, testimony was taken, and the
claim wss presented to the government.
Since that time it has been going through
the necessary processes,and an allowance
OF the claim, which was Sis. $50, wac OBJ
| tanned. The fees OF the attorney at
Washington, who prosecuted the claim,
were taken out, and the heirs received
the balance.
MIR Bailey LETT no children. His wife
married again, and died several years
ago. The heirs OF Mr. Bailey are his
brothers and sisters, OF whom there are
several in this county. OF course they
will claim the money, but there will also
be other contestants. We understand
the man who married Mrs Bailey viii
put in claim for a part. When Mrs
Bailey died she willed some property TO
some children who we're relatives OF hers,
and We understand they, too, win claim
3 share in the money. So Ii promises to
be warmly contested case for some time
to come.

MONDAY

AFTER MONEY Money, what won't .
man do for it. The Eugene Guard tells
this: A few days since the treasurer oil
the Congregational church, while hand
ling some money, let $5 piece drop to
the floor. Unfortunately said treasurer
was standing near one of the registers
into which the coin naturally dropped.
The next morning two boys we're dis
patched to the place and on taking down
the pipes the coin was found. OF course
the loss was spoken of by several and
became generally known, but the fact OF
its being found had not been mentioned.
Well, to end this story abruptly, the
next night some person entered the
basement OF the church and took all the
pipes apart and laid them. on the floor in
their search for the v, but not finding it,
went away leaving the pipes scattered
all over the basement floor.

Revival SERVICES CLOSED. THE reyi-
val services that, during the last three
weeks, have been conducted in the Con-
gregational church in this city by Revs
Polling and Clapp were closed last even
ing. Daring these services remarkably
deep and intense religious interest has
prevailed. Members of all the various
denominations in the city have contrib
uted by prayer and song to make the
meetings success. There have been
thirty-two additions to the church about
twenty-three on confession of faith and
the remainder Sy letter. Rev Mr. Clapp
1s most earnest, religious worker and
all seemed to regret that he could no.
remain longer, as the religious fervor
manifested on all sides seemed to be oc
the increase rather than subsiding.

G. A. Lohman, a prominent res
taurant keeper of Wilkes Barre, CON-
mitted suicide by drowning in pond
near Kingston on Saturday morning.
Before making the fatal plunge
Lohmann had taken off his overcoat,
hat and necktie, placed his gold
watch and diamond stud in the pocket
of his overcoat and left them all on
the bank. His name was written
with blue pencil inside his hat. The
water at the spot where he was drown
ed is about eight feet deep.
He had $4,000 life insurance, ant
thoug supposed to be wealthy man
it is believed that the premiums be
came burdensome, and rather thar
permit his policies to lapse, he killet
himself SO that his family could ge'
the insurance.

much freight, express, &C., motor OF

carry as competitors and dividend
destroyers. For it must be remember
ed that the trend of legislation is not
towards competition. 1t is generally
the other way, in the interest of big
things and toward the monopoly and
wealth that results from high protec.
tion of aggregated wealth in any and
every shape.
Mr.. Griner, Luzerne, for the pre-
vention of sectarian influences in the
schools, and prohibiting teachers from
wearing any uniform designating a
religious, civic, political or military
organization.
This is an American notion some
what in conflict with the old Roman
sectarian idea about what kind of
school teaching we should have in
this land of religious freedom. Roman
anism and Americanism are too large
ly at variance to blend very sweetly
to-day in the public school room. This
bill is we'll calculated to avoid the
attempt now being made by the
Romans.

Drowned in Ice Gold Water.

On the 2oth instant the State oi
Missouri, a passenger steamer running
between Cincinnati and Memphis,
sank in ten minutes after striking a
rock. Strange to say but thirty. seven
of the 100 passengers on her drowned,
6, out of the number having been
rescued CONSERVATION seized the
passengers and it was fight for life
In many cases.
The State of Missouri is very long
stern wheeler, plying between Cincin-
natl and New Orleans. Sne had on
board fairly large cargo of freight
and 100 cabin passengers, besides a
crew of sixty. At Alton the river
narrows, and the water being high an
extremely swift current results. This
threw the stern of the boat in towards
the Indiana shore. Before the pilot
could regain control of the boat she
hit rock, tearing long hole in the
hold at the water line. The shock
was terrific and CONSERVATION seized
upon the passengers and in a moment
they were frantic. Without regard Of
consequences they rushed to the upper
decks in the hope of delaying the
inevitable, as the boat was rapidly
sinking. Women and children were
trampled upon, but it is believed all
got out of the cabin. Then the scram-
bic for seats in the yawls began. 1t
was fight for life, in which many
combatants are believed to have gone
to their death. The first yawl launch
ed was sunk within twenty feet Of
where it struck the water. 1t is believed
every one in it was drowned in sight
of the affrighted people huddled to-
gether on the sinking steamer. A
second yawl was then pushed off con-
tanning four women. This is believed
to have reached shore. Just when
there seemed hope that by means of
this yawl the passengers could be saved
the steamer gave another terrific lurch
and literally broke into pieces, and in
ten minutes from the moment the
rock was struck nothing but the hull
remained.
The cabin, decks and pilot house
floated away, dragging down into the
water every one upon it. The lighter
freight was washed from the main
deck and on this men, women and
children clung as best they could,
many, however, only to fall back into
the ice cold water. Several succeed
in getting into the trees and were
rescued by farmers and by passing
steamers.

A Printer Suicides.

Harry Pierson, well-known Cam
den printer, committed suicide on
Sunday by taking laudanum. He
entered the composing room of daily
newspaper and picked up a bottle
containing the drug, with which one
of the printers had been bathing a
confused eye. Before any one in the
room realized what he was doing
Pierson lifted the bottle to his mouth
and saying, " Here goes" swallowed
its contents. He then went out upon
the street and, after walking hall
block, reeled and fell to the pavement
He was removed to his home, where
he died before medical aid could be
rendered. His family and friends are
unable to account for his action.
