garment, she flung herself down on tn
turf.
"Oh, my father! my father" sh
cried, "why did you doom me to such
fate? Why did you ask me to Civ
that fatal promise? Oh, look dowl
from heaven and pity your child"
The wind sighed mournfully in tn,
expresses, the belated crickets ant
katydids droned in the hedge, . bu
no sweet voice of sympathy soothet
Margie's strained ear. For, wrought W
as she was, she almost listened tt heal
some response from the lips which
death had made mute forever.
The village clock struck half-pas1
eight, warning Margie that it was al.
most time for the ceremony to take
place. She started up, drew her cloak
around her, and turned to leave the
place. AS she did SO, she felt a touch
on her hand-the hand she laid for a
moment on the gate-as she stood Civ
ing a last sad look at the mound OF
earth she was leaving; a touch light and
soft as a breath, but which thrilled her
through every nerve.
She turned her head quickly, but saw
nothing. Something like the sound of
receding footsteps met her ear, nothing
more, but she was convinced that there
had been a human presence near her.
Where? Her heart beat strangely: her
blood, a moment before so chilled and
stagnant, leaped through her veins like
fire. From whence arose the change?
She reached her chamber without
meeting any one, and unlocking the
door, rang for her attendants. The
house was in a strange confusion.
Groups were gathered in the corridors,
whispering together, and some unex-
planned trouble seemed to have fallen
upon the whole place.
After a little while. AIe%Xandrine
came in, pale and haggard. Margie
saw that her white dress was damp,
and her hair uncurled, as if by the
weather.
Where have you been, AleXan-
drine?" she asked; "and what is the
matter?"
The girl turned from white to Grim
son..

piled.
But your clothes are damp, and your
hair uncurled."
'The air is wet, and this great house
is as moist as an ice-shed," returned the
girl. h%Urriedlv. ct is no wonder if
hair is uncurled. Margie, the-the
Mr.. Linmere has not arrived"
Not arrived! 1t must be nine
o'clock"
AS she spoke, the sonorous strokes of
the clock proclaiming the hour, vi
brated through the house.
1--WE have been distracted about him
for more than two hours! he should
surely have been here by half-past six!
Mr.. Trevlyn has sent messengers to
the depot, to make inquiries, and the
thinks Mr.. Linmere ar
rived in the six o'clock train, but is
not quite positive. Mr.. Weldon went,
himself, to meet the seven-thirty train,
thinking perhaps he might have got
detained, and would come OF in the
succeeding train, but he did not ar
rive. And there are no more trains
tonight! Oh, Margie, isn't it dread

week.

of the week.
Marion Leon and mother have
moved 10 Elk for the summer.
Frosty weather will no doubt
damage the fruit crop to quite an
extent, but just how much is i'm
possible to tell for a few days.
Elk City people will organize a
Sunday school next Sunday and all
should turn out and take part in
the good move.
Elk City candidates for office
have settled down very contentedly
to salt salmon and potatoes.
M. w. Simpson has posted the
notices for the proposed road from
Elk City to Mill creek, and a few
days of good weather will make the
dirt fly on the same.
Prospect for work in the different
quarries about Elk City is very
flattering just now.

Nearly 100, 900 feet of lumber will
be used in the buildings.

Max Friendly Suicides.

Max Friendley committed sui
eide in Portland last Monday, blow
ing his brains out with a pistol of
the British bulldog pattern. The
deceased was for many years resi-
dent Of Corvallis, oeing engaged
in the saw-mill business. In the
panic of 1893 he met with business
reverses and was forced to make an
assignment. Out of his assets his
liabilities were liquidated in full,
but it left him practically without
means. These reverses preyed up.
Oil his mind, and it is supposed,
unbalanced it. Twice while living
in Corvallis he attempted to end
his life by plunging into the waters
of the Willamette, but was drawn
out before life was extinct. Some
time ago he moved from Corvallis
to Portland, where lie made the
third and fatal attempt on his life.

of the board of special engineers
that made an examination of the,
bar last summer.
IF this feature Of the bill remains,
and it is very likely that it will, it
will call for the completion of the
work within a period of three years,
at an expenditure of 81, ,o25, 900.
The placing of this work under
the contract system, if the effort to
do so is successful, will relieve and
dispel all further doubt as to the
future of the harbor. 1t also dis
pels all uncertainty as to what
each successive congress is liable to
do in the way of making or with
holding appropriations to continue
the work, and takes it out of the
possibilities injurious congress
sional action.
The early action Of congress is
looked for on the river ami harbor
bill, and the assurance is expressed
that the work on Yaquina Bay will
remain in the bill.

Mrs. Huldie Wooding, the be-
loved wife of Charles Wooding, de-
parted this life March so, 1896, lat
the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. B. Dobson, on Wright's creek.
The fatal disease, consumption,
has done It's work in taking from
our midst one so young, and one
whom to know was to love. She
was of a family of nine children,
five boys aud four girls, only one of
which, Mrs. Iohn Smith, now sur
wives. The parents of the deceased
have lived OH the Bay for nine
years, Mrs. Wooding growing into
Womanhood here. She was known
as a lovely character, highly es.
teemed by all who knew her. Dur
ing her illness she was cheerful,
patient and affectionate, and in her
loss we feel that death loves
shining mark" Everything was
done that loving hearts and willing
hands could do, and never was a
husband more attentive than was
hers. Yet we truly feel that our
loss is her eternal gain. She was
at peace with God and felt her Sa-
viour's presence near her. At the
last moment she had glimpse into
that heavenly land Of rest and ex-
claimed that she saw One clothed
in white. a sweet smile was on
her face, as of all angel.
TO those whose hearts are torn
we can only commend them to the
One who wept at the tomb of Laz-
arus, and pray that they may find
peace.
The neighbors were very kind,
and considering the Inconvenience
of the place and condition of roads
the funeral was we'll attended, there
being about forty present.
Dearest Huldie, death has come
To bear you to your Heavenly home;
And though our hearts are wrung with pain,
We feel we soon shall meet again.
A loving friend,

The enormous circulation of such
a magazine as The Ladies' Home
Journal can, in a sense, be under
stood when it is said that during
the last six months of 1895 there
were printed, sold and circulated
over four million copies-Gn exact
figures 4,o5S,S91). Figures such
as these give one some idea of the
influence which may be exerted bv
even a single one of the modern
magazines.

would have smaller population
than the county of Multnomah. If
Arizona needs state government let

does, when it is large enough to
somewhere near take its place along

Why couldn't the populists have
waited their state convention a
little? Perhaps the republican con-
vention will adopt a silver platform
to meet the views of three out OF
four of our representatives in con-
gress, and then the populists and
ourselves could all so together. 1t
is a very unnecessary waste of
effort to keep up so many party
organizations, all for the same pur-
pose. .-Oregonian.

There is decided kick at New
port over the way the republican
primaries were held that does not
seem to go down. Many republi-
cans are claiming that the primary
was put lip" on them beforehand,
and they are REINFORCED in this
view by the fact that a printed
ticket was put out at just the right
time with the successful delegates
named thereon. We don't know
what there is in the fight, but from
the light of the past we suppose
that those who are kicking will
swallow their medicine like men

WILKINS NOT 4PPOIN TED.
Governor Budd HuE Not Act Before the
Return of Derlin.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, April s. The
published report of the appointment OF
James Wilkins TO succeed r. T. Devln as
Prison Commissioner is denied by Gov
e-nor Budd, who states that no such ap-
pointment has as yet been made, and. in
fact, will not be made for some time TO
come.
When l can find time TO get at this
matter l shall probably do so, declared
his Excellency, "but at all events l shall
make no changes in the board during the
absence OF r. I. Deviin, that gentleman
being at the present time in Washington.
l consider Devlin one of the most efficient
members of the Board of Prison Directors
the State ever had. and shall not remove
him until can give the matter careful
consideration"
Continuing. the Governor said: mo
matter whom 1 may appoint as Prison Di-
rector, that appointment will not be aimed
at the administration of Warden Hale OF
San Quentin. Warden Rale's administra-
ton. so far as l have been able to ascer-
tain, has been both able and satisfactory,
and am sure that Wilkins appointment
would not meet with any antagonism from
Mr. Hale
