SHOT HER RECENT LOVER.
Ella Thompson Attempts to take the
Life of Edward Farwell at
Boston Mills. .

Further particulars Of the shooting
affray, which was reported. in
the Herald are as follows:
Edward Farwell, aged 35 years, who
resides al Boston Mills, mile and q
half east of Shedd, has been keeping
company with Miss Ella Thompson,
aged %, daughter Of Martin Thomp-
son, one Of the proprietors Of the mills.
Their houses were opposite each other
on the same street, and the young
people were much together. Miss
Thompson says that she was betrayed
by Farwell, that he seduced her under
promise Of marriage and when she was
about to become mother, he refused
to keep his promise. ~
On Wednesday evening about nine
O'Clock she called to Farwell and asked
HIM to come over. He went to the
yard, and she asked him to 60 into
the woedshed, saying she wanted to
talk to him. He declined to go with
her, and just what words passed is not
known, but she drew q revolver and
fired at him three times. The first
shot took effect in the abdomen, but
the ball was DETECTED by his clothing
and inflicted only slight wound. The
next shot was fired as Farwell turned
TO run out Of the yard. The ball
struck in the back and glanced
around the abdominal cavity infiiet-
ing an ugly but not necessarily fatal
wound. DR.. G. w. Maston, assisted
by DR.. Jayne, Of Shedd, removed the
bullet. The third shot went wide of
its mark. The physicians think Far
we'll will recover. ,r'
Deputy District Attorney G. H.
Dalrymple went to the scene Of the
shooting and Miss Thompson was
placed under arrest and was arraigned
before Jnstice Sheed on a charge Of
attempted murder. She waived ex-
animation and was held In $1,000 bonds
to await the action Of the grand jury.
Her father and a neighbor furnished
the neces ary bonds.
Attorney Dalrymple brought back
with him the revolver with which the
shooting was done. 1t was cheap,
3S.caliber revolver, and to its unrelia-
bihty Farwell can no doubt attribute
his lite. T.
Farwell denies being the author of
the girls ruin, but her story is gen.
orally believed, and the sympathy Of
the neighborhood appears to be with
her.

There Was Forgery.

One Of the most important cases
that ever came before jury in Curry
county was tried last week, the ver-
dict determining whether or not a
forgery had been. committed, says the
Gazette 1t was the case of the execu-
tor of the estate Of John Barber
against Jcef Bond. 1t was suit to
collect note of $3400 claimed to have
been given by Bond to Barber. Mr..
Bond resisted the collection Of the
amount, claiming that he never gave
the note, and that his signature there
to was forgery. The case was fought
stubbornly throughout, and occupied
several days Of time, the jury finally
rendering verdict for Bond, thus
sustaining the contention that the sig
nature to the note was forged by some
one. AS both Barber and the man
supposed to have forged the signature
are dead the matter will no doubt
now be dropped.

Little Child Burned to Death.

James Wallace's house, north OF
Ferndale in Whatcom county, was
burned Tuesday last. The baby, IS
months old, was burned In the house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace went to Fern
dale that morning and left the house
in charge of their 12-year-oid daugh-
ter. She was just outside the door and
the baby was left in the room. The
stove pipe fell down, the house took
fire close to the stove, and the flames
flashed all over the room. Before the
frightened girl could do anything or
the men who were short distance
away could get to the house it was all
afame inside and nothing could be
done towards rescuing the child.

Benton County Books.

The report Of James H. Wilson, sp.
pointed to examine the books of
Benton county, has caused much
comment on the streets Of Corvallis.
The report shows an apparent short
age in the sheriff's Office Of more than
$93OO, $4,000 Of this amount during the
incumbency Of ex-Sheriff Osburn.
who retired last June, after serving
two terms. The remainder Is In the
accounts of ex-sheriff Mackey, who
preceded Mr.. Osburn. Mr.. Mackey 10
now in British Columbia and Mr..
Osburn left for Montana few days
ago, 50 no explanation is offered for
the alleged shortage.
In the county court Friday Mr..
Osburn was given until the next
session Of the court to explain or
make good the apparent deficiency.
Mr., Osburn is expected home In q
rev Gays, and his friends In the mean.
time have an expert op the books to
discover flaws in Mr.. Wilson's report.
Mr.. Osburn made'a very efficient
sheriff, is man Of means and stands
high In the estimation Of the people.
The general feeling seems to be that
the apparent shortage Is only an error
In bookkeeping.

Of money now in use In the world.
This piece Of coin is simply thin dusk

Dozens Of trusty officials are constant.

and sitting and pounding the sand
which is to be used as "alloy." The
coins so stuck are not only unique and
curious on account Of the material
used In their composition but because
they have the least change of value Of
any medium, unless we except the
shell money ofthe west coast of Africa.
The elasticity Of their currency Ia un.

a TEST. or FAITH.

Bryan, at Buffalo, New York: l
am told that some Of your merchants,
in order to give an object lesson to
the people, have been offering to
furnish Mexican dollars for fifty
cents as part of change when you
buy goods. Ny friends, let me give
you an opportunity to test the sim
certify of these people. Let me give
you suggestion. They tell you tina,
if we had the free coinage of silver
that the American dollar would be
as little as the Mexican dollar is
now. They tell you thatif We had
the free coinage Of silver, silver will
not rise in value. Whenever man
offers youa Mexican dollar for fifty
cents, you take it, and then take it to
your savings bank o. to any other
bank and ask Thorn if they will take
that on deposit now for fifty cents
and give youa written sgresmen,
to give you q Mexican dollar the
next day after the inauguration Of
the next president

ENGLAND,s SYMPATHY.

Over 5000 farmers were present
at a recently held meeting of the
Chamber of Agriculture of East
Suffolk, (Eng.) in the town hall al
Ipswich to hear an address and de.
bate on the topic, s'The battle TO,
free coinage" or the American presi.
Dental election and the British
farmers. The following resolution
of sympathy for the American farm
ers was adopted:
This chamber believing that the dis
asterous fall of prices from which agri-
culture is suffering in all gold standard
countries has been caused mainly by
legislation closing the minis against
one of the two precious metals, heartily
sympathize with and wish success to
the American farmers in their present
struggle to get the minis re-opened.
This was followed by an address
made. by Hon. Lacey Everett, ex.
member of parliament for Suffolk
and now member Of the Royal
Commission Of Inquiry into the
Agricultural Depression, who said
that farmers there are suffering ex
actly the same as the American farm.
srs, but being such a comparatively
small class in England their com
plants and interests are ignored
He strongly believed that the victory
Of Bryan and Silver would greatly
help the English farmer.

FOUR CAMPAIGN q UNS.

The campaign thus fer has been
contested in four states, Oregon
came first with overwhelming free
coinage gains. Alabama followed
and wiped out even its small re-
publican remnant. Vermont fol-
lowed, with a contest between gold
republicans and gold democrats,
and no issue on the question of the
day. Arkansas follows with an in
crease OF SO per cent in its free
coinage vote.
The first campaign gun, from
Oregon, told how in that republi-
can state the $4,000 republican
plurality had been swept away and
a judicial inquiry was necessary to
decide whether populist or repub-
lican congressman were elected.
Alabama fred the second gun,
which increased the democratic
free coinage plurality of that state
20, 900 votes.
In Vermont,where the democrats
ran gold platform and received
no support from the national COM
mittee even TO the extent of a single
free coinage speech, the republi-
cans are elected as usual, although
the democrats add $50 votes to
their ballot of 1891.
Now comes Arkansas with Co.,
600 plurality, an increase of 10000
over 1894, and 10000 over 1892, the
republicans being poor third
party in the field with less than rs
per cent of the vote of the state.
In the four states all told, the
free coinage cause has gained U.s.
600 votes, and the republicans
have lost fully $4,000. The gold
craze IS on the wane.

A TRUE TEST.

A convincing answer to the state
ment that there has been no growth
of silver sentiment in New England
is found i'll the action of the New
Hampshire Democratic convention.
The New Hampshire democrats
Endorsed and adopted as their own
utterance the Chicago platform from
beginning to end. They pledged
their support to Bryan and Sewall
and nominated State ticket in SYM
pathy with their platform.
The Chicago convention did not
expect the support Of New England.
1t adopted its platform with the
warning from the representatives Of
the Northeastern democracy that it
would be repudiated by the demo
Gratis of that section.
In the face Of this expectation and
of this warning Of Reputation comes
a ringing pledge of loyalty and sup
port from the democrats of State
in the heart of New England. The
majority of the democrats of New
Hampshire accept every utterance Of
the national party convention.
The test of the strength of demo.
cratic sentiment is in New Hamp.
shire, not in Vermont, where there
was nothing but a state issue between
the democrats and republicans and
where the issues that divide the . al
ties in national politics were not
presented. The democrats of Yer.
mont were not fighting for Bryan
and bimetallism, for their State tick
ct and platform were gold. plated
They had nothing to fight for but a
few Offices.
