John Il. Lixgert.

The death OF Mr.. John e. Liggett OF the
Liggctt & Myers Tobacco company, st.
Louis, which occurred last week, was pass-
cd over very quietly by the daily aud trade
papers OF St. Louis. and yet he had done
as much or more than any other citizen
TO make the New St. Louis" what it is.
The st. Louis Grocer and General Mer-
chant said OF him: His charities were
unassuming. His disposition energetic, but
quiet. Only few weeks before his demise,
when in company with some friends, be
was informed Of the death of man whom
he had known we'll in former years. He
inquired In what circumstances the family
was left. and on learning that they were
poor, quietly pulled out his pocketbook
and. handing the bills he had ($40) TO his
informant, said !: Give Mrs. -- that. but
please do not tell her where II came from.
This is an index to his Character. Probably
he supplemented this with further assist
ance. All his public and private charities
were dispensed in the same transformations

NOT wAITMAN's BONES.
A Survivor of the Massacre Says the
Missionary Was Tomahawked.
~ I'll BEST

Mrs. Catherine Sager Pringle, sur
vivor of the Whitman massacre, near
Walla Walla, and a member of the
Whitman household at the time, is con-
vinced that the remains of the martyred
missionary were not in the grave recent
ly opened, from which the bones were
removed and exhibited at Walla Wa:la.
Mrs. Pringle lost her parents on the
long Journey to Oregon, and was adopted
by Mr.. and Mrs. Whitman. Although
child when the awful massacre took
place, she has a vivid recollection of it's
horrors. She writes to the Spokesman
Review under date of October %, as
follows:
"There is an old proverb that ga vs.
Where ignorance is bliss tits folly to be
WISE / was forcibly reminded of this
when 1 read the description of the skulls
taken from the grave of DIR. Whitman.
Had the grave remained undlsturbed, /,
the public would never have known but
that all the remains of the victims re-
pose there. I have always had my
doubts on the matter, knowing all the
circumstances, and 90 expressing myself
when applied to years ago for my con-
cent to moving the remains to the cam
pus of Whitman college.
81 am thoroughly convinced now that
none of the skulls found belonged to DIR.
Whitman, for none of the wound marks

hawk wound on the back of the head
and gunshot wound in the throat.
II should sooner think that skull No.
belongs to Crockett Bewly or Amos
Sales, who were murdered in their beds
on the 18th day of December, 1S47, as
they were thrown out to the floor and
dragged by the feet to the door, where
they were thrown out. 1 saw the
Indians strike them repeatedly with
their tomahawks.
"The skull of the man who appeared
to be about 60 years old is probably Mr..
| Marsh, the miller. One probably is
Hoffman, and one Gillian, the tailor.

boys"

Smythe of Arlington 340O head of lambs,
and to Sight Bros. and F. NJ. Templeton
25O0 head, which were brought out of
the mountains this fall, with 1900 head
of lambs. Mr., Johnson says their.
sheep are healthy and in fine condition.
We understand that among other
things to be considered by the city coun-
Gil tonight is a proposition from the
Parrott Lighting Company to illuminate
the city of The Dalles. It is claimed
that light superior to the electric light
can be furnished, and at less than half
the cost OF electric lights. This remains
to be seen; but we hope that the pro-
posed lights are all that is claimed for
them.
Albert and Wallace Johnson were ac-
cidentally shot while duck hunting near
Shelton Saturday morning. Albert was
in the act of drawing his gun, with the
muzzle toward him, when it was dis
charged, he receiving the charge in his
left forearm, shattering the under part,
while Wallace, who was behind him,
was struck by part of the charge in the
thigh and abdomen. Neither case is
serious.
Catherine Welsh, who lived in little
house in Seattle, died Sunday of paraly-
sis. Mrs. Welsh did washing for liv-
ing, and, according to the talk in the
neigh borhood, did not hesitate to apply
to the county for assistance. Under
these circumstances the people who
took charge of things after her death

A Suggestive GIFT.

This Office has received contribution
partly literary, but principally sapona-
ceous, the combination consisting of five
pounds of soft soap and small dodger
extolling its merits.
AS we arrived home from the mount
ainous regions of Baker county Sunday,
with plenty of CRIME and mineral stains
on our hands, the presentation of a
wash house supply of soft soap was
Extensively suggestive; but when we
read how it would cure dyspepsia, stop
coughs, relieve rheumatism and furnish
not only clean hands, but contrite
spirit, we felt that no offense was in
tended, but that the owner OF the soap
desired simply to place his goods where
they would do the most good.
The soap is made by Mr.. Way of Port
land, and he states in his circular that
it will clean glassware as clear as crystal.
This, we think, he can easily demon
strate. When we get day off, we in
tend trying what he gave us. on our
hands. If it succeeds in restoring them
to their soft and snowy whiteness, and
making our touch as heretofore, as the
brushing of humming birds wing
against the downy spissitude of an an
gels feather, we will write him up an
Endorsement that twill wash"

Lawrence S. Coe Dead.

Lawrence S. Coe, brother of Captain
Henry Coe of Hood River. died at San
Francisco yesterday. He was pioneer
steanbo man ON the Columbia, and
one of the originators of the o. R. & n.
The Oregonian gives the following brief
resume of his history:
Lawrence Coe came to Oregon from
New York in the early sos with his
father. Nathaniel Coe, who was the
first government official of the postal
service in the Northwest. Those were
the days of the rugged history of Oregon, /,
and there are now comparatively few

left who lived in the territory when the
sturdy pioneer and his sons came from
the distant East to the wilds of Oregon
to found new homes.
''For a number OF years Captain Law
renee Coe made his home on the old
homestead at Hood River, and engaged
mr. the transportation business on the
Columbia river. He first started in
business with the running of sallboats
between the cascades and the dalles,
and afterward built the little steamers
Mary and Wasco to ply the water of the
Middle Columbia river.
Later with r. r. Thompson he built
the steamer Venture at Cascades. 1t
was intended to steam the vessel up to
the dalles and then take it overland to
Cello for the purpose of running on the
Upper Columbia and Snake rivers. The
trial trip YVES to be made under the
management of Captain Coe, but
through come Misunderstanding the
lines were cast off before the engineer
was ready, and the Venturer went over
the cascades. Afterward she was sold,
her name was changed to Umatilla,
taken to Fraser river during the mining
excitement of 1858 and earned large
amount of money for her owners. The
loss of the Venture in no way discour-
aged Captain Coe or R. R. Thompson.
They Immediately built the steamer
Colonel Wright, after receiving the con-
tract to transport army supplies to Fort
Walla Walla and other interior posts.
Previously such supplies we're carried
| from the mouth of the Deschutes to old
Fort Walla Walla, now Wallula, in
Hudson's Bay Company batteux, and
other craft, propelled by sail and oar,
''The Colonel Wright was the first
! steamer to navigate the waters of the
Columbia and its tributaries above the
dalles, and after she lad gone into such
service her owners joined the com bined
conn panies, and on December %. 1860,
formed the Oregon Steam Navigation
Company, more familiar under the
abbreviated name o. S. N. Co.
