why Is it that man will buy
eighty proof liquor, drink it and
get SO drunk that he can't hit the
ground with his hat and then swear
that he is not able 20 pay for his
county paper! 1t is beyond our
comprehension. A man that is
able TO suck whiskey is able to pay

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-A dispatch te
the Herald from Key West says:
1t is learned from what may be con
sidered a semi.official sourcs thai
divers sent down on behalf OF the
United States to examine the wreck OF
the battle-ship Maine have, made a
preliminary report of the result OF
their work.
Incredible as it may seem, it says
that after partial examination of the
magazines of TIE Maine, the divers
report the one in which the explosion
is supposed to have occurred is intact.
According to the correspondents in
formant, the contents of the magazine
are uninjured. Therefore. if this is
true an entirely different aspect is
given to the terrific explosion which
brought death and destruction to the
Maine.
This repor. reaching Key West, it is
said, caused the members of the coart
ofinquiry to decide to proceed to Ha-
vana and begin their investigation at
once, instead of organizing the court
here. At any rate, the lighthouse

quiry aboard, left for Havana yester-

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20.-There are
signs of activity about all military
posts in the harbor. Everything that
can be done is being done to put forti-
fications in readiness in the event of
trouble. Guns are receiving minute
attention and are being put in perfect
working order. The Pacific coast
would never suffer from attack in event
of war with Spain. This is the opin.
ion of naval experts. Should Spain,
however, undertake to send vessels to
lombard Pabific coast ports she would
be met by a powerful feet of vessels,
among the foremost of which are the
battleship Oregon and the coast de.
feuse vessels Mouadnock and Monterey.
There is not vessel on the Asiatic
station flying the Spanish flag which
is powerful enough to cope with the
squadron that could be called to defend
our exposed cities. In addition to the
three powerful ships mentioned, the
Philadelphia and Charleston are a,
the navy yard at Mare Island, and the
Petrol, Concord, Yorktown, Benning.
ton, Wheeling and Marietta are with
in easy call.
The Baltimore, Boston, Olympia and
Machias are available from Asiatie
and Hawaiian duty. Should trouble
arise, the United States would undoubt
edly send the Oregon, Olympia and
Boston to the Atlantic side, which
| would still leave us with more than
enough ships to defend onr commerce
and the ports "fthe Pacific.

Death.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Although the
fatal termination of Miss Willard's i'll
ness was not entirely unexpected in
Evanston, it was nevertheless an in
tense shock to her friends when they
heard of it. 1t was here that she de-
veloped those qualities of leadership
which raised her to a position of so
great prominence rs an advocate of
temperance. Miss Willard was well
known to many now living in Evans
ton, whose friendship was on the same
intimate footing when the great lcctur-
er attained the height of her fame, as
when her gentle influenc and budding
village.
crest Cottage" where Miss Willard
made her home, was always kept ready
for her return. Tie souvenirs of her
work and the many pieces Of hnuse-
hold furniture made dear by association
we're cherished with great care, and
her room was kept in constant rendi-
ness for an unexpected return.
Mrs. A. M. Kimball. a personal
friend of the lamented leader, and we'll
known in temperance circles. lived in
the cottage, and when told of the
death of Miss Willard. she was mex
pressibly shocked.
People all over the world will feel
Ter loss, for Miss Willard occupied
portion which can never be filed.
The good work will go on, but the loss
of her advice as leader will be deeply
fit. The impetus which Miss Willard
had @iven to the work of saving the
temple will be carried through. Her
friends will accept the duty of con.

as Il beg qlest, and will feel that it will

itself intercepted by a wire which
seemed to come from the drydcck and
extend in the direction of the Maine.

Victim
CRESCENT CITY, CAL. Feb. 19.-An-
other tragic death occurred near Chet-
CO, Or, this morning about 9 o'clock.
Thomas Van Pelt and two of his sons
were but short distance from their
home, when the father was instantly
killed by bullet fred from the UNDER
brush by an unseen foe. The mur-
derer is unknown, but is suspected to
be friend of All Coolidge, jr., who was
killed near Chetco last fall in similar
manner.
A fued has existed between the Van
Pelt and Coolidge families for long
time. The first blood was shed last
fall, although many dark deeds have
been committed.
Thomas Van Pelt, five of his sons
and a son-in-law. E. G. Hughes, have
just been released on $500 bonds at
Gold Beach. the county seat of Curry
county, where they were under indict-
ment for the murder of young Coolidge.
The people of Chetco thought that
after the arrest of the Van Pelts, the
Coolldges having gone to Silverton,
Or, there would be no further trouble
In the otherwise quiet little village, or
at least until after the trial of the Van
Pelts, which will take place in the
circuit court at Gold Beach next Sep
tember, but it seems there was some
one left who was hunting for revenge.
