PROBABLY A SUICIDE.
An Unknown Man Found Dead In Dry
Hollow.

/ HOLLOW
| Tuesday the body of man was
found lying under tree near the road
at the head of Dry Hollow, some four
miles from The Dalles, and was
brought to Crandail & Burgett's
undertaking parlors by Coroner Butts,
where an inquest was held. From all
appearances the man had sat down,
leaning against the tree, and had de-
liberately fired bullet from a 32-cali-
ber, six-chambered revolver into his
head, the ball entering just above the
right ear. When found the body was
reclining upon the ground, the left
hand upon his breast and the right by
his side, the pistol on the ground
underneath his right hand. No papers
or books were found on the body by
which it could be identified, the only
| articles in his pockets being pencil,
| comb and s1.70 in silver. OF the
many who viewed the body at the
able to identify the deceased. though
number have seen him about The
Dalles occasionally since about the
middle of October last. The findings
of the coroner's jury were as follows:
THE DALLEs, March, 16, 1879.
We the undersigned, the jury en-
panneled by w. FL. Butts, coroner of |
Wasco county, Oregon, to inquire into |
tine death of an unknown person whose !
body is now before us, after careful
consideration of all the testimony ad- |
duced by the witnesses called and
sworn by said coroner, submit the fol-
lowing as our verdict.
We find that the death of said de.
ceasedmas caused by gun shot wound,
inflicted by the hand of the deceased.
ind as far as we can ascertain his
ieath was premeditated and de-
iberate upon his part. We are un-
able to identify said body, either from
our own personal knowledge or from
the knowledge of any one who has so
far viewed the remains, and for the ,
'urther information ofrthe public we
herewith submit description of the ,
body. as far as observation can en- =
ighten us, which is as follows:
In height deceased was about or full
tx feet, weight about ITO or $50 pounds, !,
.ge about 35 years, color of hair dark :
'rown or reddish brown, sandy mus
ache. At the time of his death he
yoo
oat with black velvet collar, black
iagonal suit, of sack pattern, celluloid p
ollar and cuffs, cuff buttons are round, R
'vel buttons and in design intended
} represent moon stone, on his feet we
'und pair of lace shoes about No. A
. g., stockings heing dark brown in b
,lor, hat being black. soft felt hat d
ith medium high crown and medium
m in width, the following on the in- Cii
de ''Our 210 make" which hat had Sc
zen considerably used and worn. N,
The appearance of the deceased
Duld indicate that he had been man
moderate means at least and his
cial relations on an average with CO
her good citizens, but from the hi
eager facts brought to light we can sa
It suggest anything further which
'uld lead to discovery of name, age
place OF residence of deceased.

STATE TAXES KEPT BACK.

Mu- itnomah County Will Not Pay Her
Ts Tes to the STATE Treasurer at Present.
j. ,dge Norfhup has decided to not
pay over in full the state taxes of
1895 which Multnomah county will
collec6, am ounting to about 5000, 200,
says the Z 0regonian, and it is under
stood the .s most, if not all, of the
counties in the state will follow suit
and WI thold the state taxes.
The various counties are nearly all
in { .ebt and paying interest. The
reas on for this proposed action IS
lar gely that, as the secretary of state
R IS decided that he will issue no state
.garrants, the state tax money would
accordingly only remain idle in the
| vaults of the state treasurer. Different
county boards have about concluded
that it would be better to use the state
tax for 1895 in paying up the debts
which the counties owe and reimburse
the state from future taxes to be col
lected after the legislature had met
and passed an appropriation bill. AS
the legislature will probably not meet
for two years, the county governments
would have the use of the state tax
money during that period.
1t has not been decided to withhold
all of the money, but to pay over to
the state treasurer enough to defray
the urgent necessities of the state
government, or abou; 10 per cent of
taxes collected. Judge Gray, of
Astoria, has mailed a circular letter to
all of the county judges, requesting all
favorable to Withholding the state tax
to meet at the parlors of the Perkins
hotel, Portland, Thursday. Judge
Northup has received some letters up
on the subject from other counties,
and. Independent of what action others
may pursue, Multnomah's judge has
determined not to pay over the state
tax.

The Statesman and the Merchant.

There are people in this world who
are short sighted enough to believe
that their interests can be best pro-
NOTED by grasping and clinging to all
they can get, yet, as general thing, it
will be found, other things being equal,
that he who is most liberal. Is most
successful in business. 1t is an ever
lasting fact that there can be no per-
manent prosperity or good feeling
where benefits are not reciprocal.
There are merchants as there are
great statesmen, and there are small |
merchants as there are small politi- |
clans, and the difference between the |
great and the small is very much the |
same in both professions. The small |
politician works by the day and sees |
only the small opportunities before him
and the small merchant simply looks
for the next dollar. The statesman, O. o
the other hand, is master of the stu o.
tion, because he understands the ] n in
ciples which control events, and the
great merchant does the same th ng,
His business is not mere matter OF
barter, but a science and an art. He
studies the general laws of trn de,
watches conditions, investigates pr es-
ent needs, foresees future wants al Id
adapts his business to the condition s.
of the time and place. He puts as j
much brains into the work as does the
statesman.
One of the members of the emil
nently successful firm of A. Nj. Will
liams & Co., said the other day, the
more he studied life the more clearly
he saw that it was all done on business
principles. Promptness, thoroughness,
courage, honesty and iberality are
wrought into its every fibre These
are exactly the principles that have
proved such productive seeds for
Messrs. A. M. Williams & Co., who al
ways treat their big business from a
statesman point of view.
Forethought and judgment have
certainly figured in the recent buying
of their splendid spring stock of

and honesty rules over their "white"
treatment of customers. The K. N. &
F. Co. clothing is a leading feature of

vice and satisfaction, and worn by
leaders in professions, society and 1
every trade, from Maine to California
and from Canada to Texas-the most !
dealers. Surely cannot the
city of The Dalles claim A. M. Will ]

REPORT OF EXPERT.
To the honorable board of directors
of school district No. II, of Wasco

To the honorable board of directors
of school district No. II, of Wascc
county, Oregon.
Gentlemen: As requested by you,
have made an examination of the books
kept by E. Jacobsen, your retiring
clerk, and beg to submit the following
report. The receipts have been made
up from three sources.
First-State and county apportion-
ment.
Second-Special tax.
Third Amounts received for tut.
ton, and for sundry sales of school
furnishings.
have compared all items charged
against the district by the county
treasurer, which cover classes l and 2
for 1891 and 1895, and have found only
one discrepancy as shown in accom-
panying statement. The special tax,
prior to 1894, was collected by the
school clerk, and the amounts ac-
counted for compare with the stubs of
receipt book with one exception; where
the clerk takes to account $3.50 for
which there is no stub, This amount
is allowed to stand, as the clerk admits
its collection. The collections under
class have been made with the knowl-
edge and assistance of Professor Gavin,
your principal of The Dalles schools,
whose certificate as to their correct
ness appears herewith.
All charges for disbursements have
been compared with the warrants au-
thorizing same. The vouchers have
been found genuine, and the charges
correct with two exceptions as shown
in statement above referred to.
The manner of keeping the accounts
has been admirable, and the records
are clear, definite and satisfactory.
Respectfully,
