OREGON IS FOR SILVER
RESULT OF MONDAYS ELECTION is
CERTAIN ON THAT POINT.
Have the Congressman in the First
District and Chance for
Another.

Portland. Or. June 2.-Oregon must be
placed among the silver states. That is
one of the few sure among the many
uncertain things of the election yester-
day. In the Second congressional dis
trlct w. r. Ellis, free silver republican,
may be elected, though the contest be-
tween him and Martin Quinn, populist, is
too close to speak with certainty
There is no question but what Robert
S. Bean is elected judge of the supreme
court He is the regular republican NOM
inee. He has between 5000 and 10000 ma
jority.
In the First congressional district word
comes that Thomas II. Tongue, the reg
ular republican candidate, is defeated by
Vanderburg, the populist, though an Of
fetal count will be required TO settle their
fight.
Ex-State Senator jefferson Myers will
come out of the race a slow third
The result of the election in that dis
trict If the indications can be relied up
on, can be explained solely upon ac-
count that the free silver sentiment pre-
dominated. In addition to this, populism
in that district has made considerable
progress among the farming classes Tor
the past two years
The complexion of the next Legislature
will be: Senate-Populists g. democrats l.
republicans %. Mitchell republicans l.
House-Republicans 3. democrats 3. pop
uists -. Mitchell republicans 2. Ten are
in doubt.
Sylvester Pennoyer's vote for mayor
about equals that of Cohen and Beebe
combined, Beebe being a poor second.
William Frazier. Mitchell republican,
beat George c. Sears the regular repub-
lcan nominee for sheriff. The other
county officers elected were: ID. j. Moore
Mitchell republican, clerk of the circuit
court; Ralph Hoyt, Mitchell republican.
county treasurer
Taken altogether the result in Multno-
nah was a decided victory of the Mitch
ell republicans, except on the legislative
ticket The assessor is r. S. Greenleaf,
a Mitchell republican.
Tomorrow's Oregonian will say:
Two years ago the republican party
| of Oregon was n united party; ii stood
| for distinct purposes; il won overwhelm-
ing victories in the election
I'm the legislature there were but few
| opposition members. Had the 'legisla-
ture done it's duty the republican party
would have had a long lease of power.
| That Legislature fell, however, under in
| fiuences that led it into lines of grossest
misconduct At the session that began
| in January, 1895, the destructive policy
was commenced that has led to the re-
suits we now behold"
w. S. Vanderburg, populist, for con-
gress in the First district, is probably
elected by about 1000 plurality.
| Three-fourths of the vote has been re-
ceived from the district, and shows the
following: Tongue 2,224, Vanderburg 49,
go, Myers 1882.
The republican state committee claim
they will control both houses OF the legis-
lature and have a majority OF 10 on joint
ballot.
Returns from the interior today show
a large populist gain in nearly every
county in the state. The republicans
have elected Bean supreme court judge
by from 5000 to 10000.

LYNCHED BY A GEORGIA MOB
Negroes Charged with Killing
White Woman.

Columbus, Ga. June 1.-At 1o;45 this
morning a mob of GOO armed men broke
into the Webster building during the trial
Of Jesse Clayton. charged with assaulting
Mrs. Howard Bryan last Thursday.
Clayton's trial had already begun behind
locked doors and a heavily armed guard
of men was present to protect the pris-
oner from any demonstration of violence.
The mob forced the doors. and with re-
sistless rush swept back the spectators
and guards and seized and carried the
negro out into the street A rope was
placed around Claytons neck, and he was
dragged up Broad street, the crowd
shooting at him as they went along. Near
the bell tower they swung the negro up
and perforated MIN with bullets.
After this, the mob,as coolly and deliber-
ately as in the first instance, went imme-
diately to the courthouse and, overpow-
ering the jailer, took viii Mills negro
charged with assaulting Miss Albright
two years ago, and marched him slowly
to where Clayton's lifeless body was
hanging from a tree. The trembling
negro was made to look up TO the fate of
his brother in crime, then a rope was
placed about his neck, and he was slowly
suspended in the air and his body riddled
with bullets.
Mrs. Bryan was assaulted at Clapp's
Factory, four miles from here, early on
Thursday morning. She is a young wo-
man, not over Is years of age. Her hus-
band had left home for Columbus about
daybreak. Shortly after he left, a big
negro entered Mrs Bryant's private room
and succeeded in assaulting her. She
fought him fiercey, but her weak condi-
ton rendered her struggles of no avail.
He left her almost unconscious on the
floor. Regardless of her condition, Mrs.
Bryan rushed to the door and fired two
pistol shots at the negro without avail.
In short time Bryan returned. and on
being advised of the crime rushed imme-
diately back to Columbus, and. with the
sheriff and an armed posse, began to
scour the woods for the negro, who was
soon captured.

Parker Watkins Hardin, for u years at
torney general of Kentucky. Wat Har-
din is the best known politician in the
state, and is an old friend of Mr.. Stew
enson Both were educated at Centre
college, Danville. Mr. Hardin is
wealthy man, and his son Martin has bril-
liant prospects. Martin graduated from
Centre college two years ago, then read
law with his father. He prepared to 80

became impressed with the idea ne must
enter the ministry. Without hesitation
he gave up his brilliant prospects, and,
returning to Danville, matriculated as "A
student of the Presbyterian theological
seminary. The ex-attOrney general is not
inferior to Senator Blackburn as a stump
speaker, and his son has inherited his
oratorical talents. While a student at
Centre college two years ago he won the
medal for oratory and then won the
intercollegiate medal for the state. He
was selected as the representative OF
Kentucky in the interstate collegiate or
atorical contest at Charleston two years
ago. There were contestants from nine
southern states, but young Hardin was
an easy winner again. He taught elocu-
ton in Centre college
But the young man is famous in quite
another direction. He is one of the best
athletes in the state or in the south,
and made a great reputation as a foot
ball player two years ago. At that time
the Centre college team was under the
direction of G. G. Berry, a physical di-
rector from Yale. Mr.. Hardin was a
plucky member of the team and his
bold and skillful playing won him more
popular favor than his abilities a de-
batter.
Miss Julia is the eldest of the Steven
son sisters. She has her fathers charm
of manner, and is handsome, bright and
popular. She is a brunette, and, like
her father, is tall and slim. She is just
little bit taller than Mr.. Hardin, who
comes of stalwart family, but is him
lelf under medium size She first met
him two years ago on a visit here with
her parents and they have been sweet
hearts for over a year.

CHECKS SENT TO ST. LOUIS FROM
HOME AND ABROAD.
Had sanitary Conditions Threatens
the Health of Both Towns
Many Are Missing.

st. Louis, June 1.-The work of clear
ing up the debris and repairing the dam
age left by Wednesdays storm continues
with undated vigor. The best news of
the day was that the occupants of the
demolished city hospital. 40 or so of whom
were reported still under the ruins last
week, are all accounted for. A roll call
disclosed this fact today.
A list Of 120 persons missing in st. Louis
since the storm is in the hands of the
police. Many among them are people
from outside st. Louis, who were visiting
here or who had business in the town.
A search is being carried on for all of
these among the ruins of wrecked build
ings.
In East ST. Louis the work of relieving
the many homeless and destitute persons
is being carried on rapidly
An official estimate of the loss to ship
ping has not yet been made and will not
be made until the submerged boats have
been examined. The first estimate of
2,OOOO0O has dwindled down to less than
half a million and the chances are that
these figures will be reduced materially.
Many animals of all descriptions were
killed in the storm and their purifying
bodies are becoming a menace to those
living in and about the devastated dis
trcts. In the past few days 100 horses
and mules and five cows have been cart
ed away. The bodies were crushed in
every conceivable manner and were
found in all kinds of places.

ST. LOUIS TORNADO SUFFERERS
Contributions Pouring in-Large
Number of Idle Men.

ST. Louis. June 1.-The work of relief
and restoration goes on today in the
midst of rain Contributions of money,
clothing and provisions are coming in lib
orally, and all the destitute are being
cared for. The losses caused indirectly
by the tornado are just beginning to re-
veal themselves, and will be nearly as
cruel as the immediate effects, because
the tornado ruined many mills and fac
tories, and a large number of men Will
be out of employment for weeks and
months. How many men have been de-
priVed of the opportunity TO earn live
lihood can not be stated with accuracy,
but it certainly runs into hundreds in eX-
cess of the number employed to repair
the damages.
Ten district assessors and 10 clerks left
the office of A. II. Frederick, president
of the board of assessors, to make an
official estimate of the losses. These ex-
perts will make house-to-house canvass
OF the territory blasted by the tornado.
Frederick expects 10 have a complete re-
port a week hence. Nine burial permits
were issued today for interment of storm
victims.
In East st. Louis dozens are kept busy
handing out groceries, shoes, dresses and
been the response in money and other
gifts that for the time being there is no
danger of want.
1t is feared that William Hartigan, a
wealthy iron miner of Birmingham, Ala,
is beneath the debris of some wrecked
building. Hartigan came TO St. Louis two
days before the tornado to purchase farm
machinery, and has not been seen since
Wednesday.
