SAD FATALITY ON Mt. RAINIER.-One
of the party of visitors to the summit
of Mt. Rainier, lost his life, Tuesday
night, while he was making the de-
scent. The victim was Prof. Edgar
Mcclure, of the University of Oregon,
and the accident is said to have re-
suited in neglect of the party to use
the ssfety-ropes usually employed i'll
the hazardous undertaking. He fell
a distance of 800 feet upon mass of
rocks, breaking every bone. His roll
OF blankets was torn to shreds and the
meteorological instruments strapped
to his back, were smashed into frag-
ments. His body was found the next
morning, and carried to Paradise park
by his Borrowing companions, where it
was left in the snow until arrange
ments could be made for its transport
tation homeward. The sad news was
telegraphed to his aged mother and
brothers at Eugene, Oregon, where, no
doubt, they were anxiously waiting in
formation of successful termination
of the dangerous trip.

WILD as is the excitement over the
yield of the northern gold district, we

toms magnificent wheat fields, this
year, which will largely exceed it.
The prospect for the farmer is now
exceptionally bright, and with the
rates of transportation lowered and
conditions unchanged he will be able
to save something to improve the
farm or pay off his debts. besides liv-
ing in ease and comfort. This result
is not due, however, to man-made
laws, but to the favor OF an over
ruling Providence, in sending rain and
sunshine in just such proportions as
have produced abundant crops. Besides
this the wool clip and the demand for
cattle promises an unusually profit
able yield this season.

"THE LAST ROSE OF SUMNER.
The death of Mrs. Amelia Kohler, at
Mt. Vernon, N. Y, on the 10Th inst,
recalls the fact that had it not been
for her, Tom Moore might never have
written the beautiful verses which
have been embalmed in melody and
sung in every land and cline where the
English language is spoken. At least
it was at her suggestion that the rose
became the theme for his muse. They
were walking in garden, when the
lady pluckcd a solitary rose that had
survived the frosts and said "Mr.
Moore, write something about the
Last Rose of Summer" The sug.
gestion pleased the poet, and the re-
suit was a song that will live forever.

A PRESIDENTIAL GIFT. - President
Mckinley was the recipient, last week,
from Georgia, of a mammoth water
melon two and a half feet long and
six feet in circumference. 1t was
very appropriately packed in golden
hamper. This was wrapped in the
American flag, entwined with white
satin ribbons, and the coat-of-arms of
the State of Georgia. Representative
Livingston made the presentation
speech, and several members of Con-
gress and ladies were in attendance.
Mr.. L. alluded in his remarks to the
old custom of the Greeks in bearing
gifts to those who had distinguished
themselves in civic life, and assured
the President that the hamper con-
tanned no office-seeking enemy. The
President expressed himself as spe-
cially gratified over the assurance.

The Examiner on Top.

The San Francisco Examiner never
does anything by halves. Instead of
sending a single representative to as
certain the exact condition of affairs
at klondyke, it has organized two ex-
petitions to proceed by the two routes
of travel, equipped with every appli-
ance for making an absolutely correct
report. These expeditions consist of
Chas. 6. Yale, one of the most ex-
pert mining authorities in the Unit
ed States; Joaquin Miller, who will

Edward II. Hamilton and Edward J..
Livernash, graphic writer's of mature
experience, from the staff of the E1-
aminer, and last but not least Helen
Dare, who will describe things as seen
by women's eyes.
Messrs. Hamilton and Yale and
Miss Dare have undertaken the trip
by the ocean and river route, and Mr..
Livernash, accompanied by photogra-
pliers, will make the overland journey.

on the Excelsior ON the 2Sth inst. 1t

ter, and by which way reports will be
sent to that enterprising journal.
