Yellow Jack Spreading.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 12,-All
fears of the citizens of Jackson in
regard to the sickness prevalent at
Edwards have been realized. DIR.
Guiteras, the expert, has confirmed
seven cases of yellow fever, and says
there are several suspects.
First, the cases were reported as
malarial fever, and then after time
they became dengue fever Another
wait, and they were pronounced
suspicious, and finally declared to
be genuine yellow jack.
During all this time the disease
has been spreading rapidly at the
rate of five or six new cases daily,
until there are now 40 cases in ex-
istence at Edwards. The evolution
of the disease from malarial to
yellow fever was such that the
people now regard dengue as a
more convenient term than yellow
fever.

The tact is now so generally admitted it

most men is, what form of policy will best
discharge the duty and in what company
to place so sacred d trust.

Fatal Hop Yard Row.

Independence, Or, Sept, 15.-A
row in D. L. Hedges hopyard, two
miles north Of here, last night. at
7:3O o'clock, resulted in the death
of Enoch Sylvester, of Lebanon, 45
years of age, father of a family of
five; and the arrest of Allen Logan,
aged 16, charged with the crime of
murder,
The circumstances of the case are
about as follows; Four boys named
Logan, Burns, Chambers and Van
Cleve, from To.edo, in Lincoln
county, were camped and picking
hops. In a party from Lebanon

ann Huston Taylor, the latter also

been "guying' the. Lebanon boys
about white horse, which was in
rather poor condition. Last night
the Lebanon boys came down to the
To-edo boys camp to ''settle" the
boys for ';guying" and words came
to blows, and three Of the Toledo
boys pitched into two from Lebanon.
As the fight proceeded, Sylvester
started to step in and see fair play,
his wife trying to prevent him from
taking any part. Young Logan,
who had taken no part heretofore,
it is said, then rushed up and dealt
Sylvester heavy blow on the head
with piece of hop pole aud knock
ed him senseless. Seeing what he
had done, Logan ran, and was pur-
sued and caught, and dragged back
to the crowd that had assembled.
The excitement was intense, the
boy screaming for mercy. He was
arrested and brought here and plac-
ed in jail.
This morning at 1 O'Clock Sylvester
died,
A coroner's jury was summoned
this afternoon, and the witnesses
will testify at an inquest. here to-
morrow

A bank in Kansas has actually
refused to receive any more depos-
its. 1t has more money on hands
than it has use for, and refuses to
take any more and be responsible
for it. What singular ring this
news must have to the people of
that state who have been so persist
emily bowling that money is too
scarce to do tile business of the
country with, and insisting that we
should have fiat money or every
thing would go to ruin. It is said
there are over 100 towns in Kansas
that have each shipped an average
of 80 carloads of wheat a day for the
past five weeks. 1t is no wonder
that money is SO plentiful tn " do
not know what to do with it.

The Status of State Politics.

The republican party in Oregon
is reasonably harmonious. There
is but one disturbing infuel ce in it,
and that we have had so long that
we are used to it. The only hope
of the allied opposition is that they
may irritate that one wound, and
cause a serious breach. That hope
is groundless and they will fail.
The populists. instead of being the
second party in tho state, have
fallen to a bad third and they are
badly demoralized and divided.
Their organization is in bad shape,
and they have no head since Penn
oyer left them and transferred his
headship to the Bryan democracy.
1t is possible that the populist
state organization may decide
against fusion, and run straight
middle-of the-road ticket. But the
county organization will quietly
ignore this everywhere. They will
put up a divided ticket and get
swindled everywhere as they did
here in the last county election.
The democrats got all the paying
Offices, and gave the populists what.
they did not want. To fuse they
must get some kind of an issue, and
this will be manufactured out of
some local affair, lied about ard
enlarged upon to suit the occa-
sion. See if this is not prophecy.
Many populists will come back to
the republican party but most of
the disafectcd will join the ranks Of
the Bryanites. Between the gold
standard democrats and the repub
licans no difference exists. The
tariff business is settled on lines sat-
isfactory to them, and on all other
questions they seem to agree. The
republicans of the state have shown
on every occasion t,seir acknowl-
edgement Of the noble service the
gold democrats rendered in saving
the country at the last election and
1.-The desire to consult with them as
to future policy. There is nothing
separating them but sentiment,
and as a distinct organization for
them in this state seems uncertain,
the republicans of Oregon may
reasonably expect their aid to defeat
Organism in the next election in the
state. So, with harmony in the re-
publican ranks, and the assistance
ofour sound money allies, the defeat
of Bryan:sm is certain.

OF immigration whose duty it shall
be to advise intending settlers where
they can get farming lands. This
is an excellent movement and will

information. There is plenty of
good land in Oregon and in the
