Are After Their Paw.

Col. J. B. Eddy Of the Oregon Rail-
road commission has sued out writ
Of mandamus before Judge Hewitt of
the circuit court, to compel Secretary
of State Kincaid to pay the salaries of
the commission, and filed the same
with the clerk of he court of Marion
county and copy of the same was
served OIL Mr.. Kincaid by Sheriff
Knight The petition recites as facts
the statement that the commission
was elected on February 20, 1893, when
it qualified, took oath and filed bonds.
That it has held Office and performed
the duties Of the same and now holds
and occupies the same; that plaintiff is
entitled to salary payable quarterly az
$500 a year. That successor TO the
i; id plaintiff as such commissioner
has mol been elected by the legislative
assembly in joint convention or other
wise, nor has such commissioner ever
qualified since the appointment of the
plaintiff That there is due $245.55 for
the quarter ending March 81, 1895,
which the secretary is commanded to
pay.
Cyrus Dolph, E. E. Mallory, Joseph
Simon, ex.Supreme Judge Strahan
and j. G. Moreland are attorneys for
the commission, the complaint being
sworn TO by James B. Eddy, April l6.
The writ was issued by Judge H. H.
Hewitt, and directs that warrant Inn
nlediately issue to the plaintiff as
prayed in petition, tr that he show
cause why he has not done SO at Sa'
lem, Oregon, on the 10Th day Of April
at 200 p. m.
AS Attorney General Idleman seems
to be in sympathy with commissioners
it is proposed to hire private attorneys
to defend the case. One Portland man
has offered to contribute 500 and the
secretary thinks enough can be secured
by voluntary contributions to conduct
the defense. A Portland attorney has
offered to represent the state for $3.50
and Mr.. Sehilbrede, of Roseburg, to
day rendered his services gratis. Mr.
Sehlnrede thinks Rosburg will alst
contribute funds. The secretary i
confirmed IN the belief that the citizen
Of the state almost universally endors'
his refusal to recognize the holdove
commissioners.

About Hops.

The New York Price Current says:
Farmers in this state have not been
able to work much In the yards as yet,
and no reliable reports have been re-
ceived regarding the condition Of the
roots. There is still a moderate quaint
ity of hops in growers hands, but
prices are so low that no one seems
anxious to sell at present; indeed there
seems to be disposition to sell the re-
manning lots Of desirable quality
rather firmly. Advices from the Pa
cific coast report the vine growing
nicely, and in some sections farmers
have commenced the first tying. Re
garding the local market there is not
much to be said. No new features
have been developed, and the sales
making show no change in the
line Of values. Here and there a lot is
taken for London but The foreign
orders are few and generally small,
and do not give much support to the
market. Brewers buy occasionally
but It seems as though they are well
stocked and were not largely interested
in new business. The fact that growers
are not pressing stock for sale makes
the offerings here less urgent and
tends to give the position some steadi-
ness.
The filing of hop contracts for
1895 still continues in the office of the
Marion county clerk, the party of the
second part being Lilienthal & Co., of
San Francisco. S. J. Kerr & Sons, of
st. Paul, agree to deliver to the above
firm 10000 pounds Of the coming hops
at 5 cents, and 5000 pounds at 8 cents,
cents to be advanced to them at the
time of picking. ]. J. Coyle, of st.
Paul, Will transfere 5000 pounds at s
cents with s cents advanced for pick
ing money. G. Bunning and G. H.
Ernst, of the same place, contract 5000
pounds at 8 cents, requiring an ad
vance of A cents. Byron J. Grim, of
Aurora, has contracted 10000 pounds
Of his new crop for 9 cents to be paid
at the time of delivery, and L. B.
Saunders of Butterviile, does the same
with 5000 pounds at s cents.

A Tragedy in Oregon.

ARLINGTON, Or, April 2l.-A
shooting affray took place between five
and six O'Clock this morning at the
residence Of Harry Clay, on Rock
creek, twenty miles south Of here, re-
Rultiug in the death Of Henry Grider
Grider had been working for Mr.. Clay
for about year, aud had been looked
upon as faithful law-abiding citizen.
Recently, however, Grider seems to
have gained the impression that he
owned the ranch. and was going to
run things to suit himself He made
threats Of killing Mr. Clay, aud had
been carrying a revolver for sometime.
Thie morning the two men had some
little dispute about matters pretaining
to the ranch, and, without provoca.
ton. Order drew revolver and fired
two shots at Mr.. Clay without effect.
He was following him up, with the
evident intention of killing him, when
Nj Clay rail- into the house and pro.
cured shotgun. He emptied one Of
the barrels into Grider's side below
the left arm, killing him instantly.
He then gave himself up to the
authorities, He will be given a pre-
liminary trial tomorrow morning Mr..
Clay has fine ranch on Rock creek,
and deals extentively in stock, having
recently made large shipment to
Chicago. He is highly esteemed as a
peaceable, law-abiding citizen. AL
though the shooting Oh his part was
clearly in self lfdefense, the occurrence
Is greatly deplored by himself and
friends.

A Jump in Wheat.

NEW YORK, April 22.-Trausac-
tions In wheat this morning about
equaled the heaviest entire days trad.
ing this year, being l5,525,000 bushels,
and the advance Of 2t cents in prices
over Saturday was the biggest single
jump the market has had in months,
Traders were fairly crushed III their
wild efforts to execute buying orders
The price fluctuated violently, and
soon after opening began to slide
down again, only Increasing the ex'
cited feeling. 1t is generally conceded
the advance was the result Of bull en-
thusiasm, which had at last broken
loose in real earnest, well backed W

How the Preacher got Even,

Charles Dickens used to tell the fol-
lewing story about a Methodist
preacher: "This preacher had been
called to officiate Mt the funeral of q
relative of conservative editor, and
as the preacher himself aimed to be a
liberal leader in the district he and the
editor had often crossed swords. This
time the chance came to deliver q
home thrust without chance for
either parry sr reply. At the coffin Of
the deceased, beside which the editor
and other mourners knelt together,
the preacher made this appeal:
Lord, overTule this afiiiction to the
well fare Of all assembled, including
the reptile now sprawllng in thy
presence, who has frequently abused
thy servant in the columns Of hil
