general shaking up in this section

We have succeeded in moving
the postoffice, but in so doing we
had to take the name also, which
leaves Mr.. Eddy without a name, a
circumstance very uncommon at
the present time. 1t would seem
that a name might be found to suit
the changed state of affairs, some
romantic name like Wildwood" >"
or Wood" or some other name
that would suit the occasion. Some
of the patrons are greatly opposed
to assuming the name of Eddyville,
but however, we cannot have every
thing we want in this wild and
woody western country.

TRIUMPHANT DOODLE,

Mark Hanna has again proved
himself good business man. >"
After hard and personally con-
Quoted fight he has secured the de
livery OF the goods" he had bought.
He was yesterday elected Senator
from Ohio for seven years.
This result is the most shameless
and scandalous triumph of corrup-
ton ever known in our political his
tory. Seven Republicans members
OF the Legislature united in charg-
ing bribery upon Hanna and his
agents and in demanding an investi-
CATION of the charges. Five of these
pledged themselves to vote for Han
ma, in spite of their determined op-
position to his election, ifthe charg-
es of bribery were shown to be un-
true. Yet by single vote in joint
session the demand was ignored and
the great boodler was elected.
1t was fitting climax to this bra
zen performance that the Republi-
can members, who had to be kept
under guard to insure their "stay-
ing bought, joined in singing
"Praise God, from whom all bless
ings flow," when infamy was con-
summated! Snug hypocrisy and
Pharisaic plutocracy are represented
in the Ohio Republicanism of which
Mckinley and Hanna are perfect
types, touched the lowest depths in
thus celebrating with blasphemy the
! triumph of boodle.-New York

THESE ARE TALKED OF.

The political pot in Lincoln coun-
ty is now fairly simmering and soon
will be fairly boiling, with the con-
ventions two months away. There
are candidates plenty talked of,
but many slate will be made and
smashed before conventions meet.
Among the populists there has
been but few candidates talked of.
These parties nave been discussing
and meditating upon the union of
forces, and individual candidates
have been secondary matter. The
name Of Lee Wade has been men,
toned as democratic candidate
for clerk, A. B. Clark of Elk City
and w. S. Whi,ten, of Newport,
for judge, B. F. Jones for joint SEN
ator, Hurley Lutz for assessor, and
Sam Logan for commissioner.
The populists have talked G. A.
Lands and 7. 7. Reeder, for sher-
if, H. N. Foster, of Chitwood, for
county treasurer. There are not
many populisi candidates being
talked publicly yet.
In the republican ranks there
are many prospective candidates
being tailed of. For joint senator
Hon. R. A. Bensell is generally
recognized as candidate, and il
now looks as if he has a very good
chance of securing the nomination.
Capt. Henry Nice is frequently
spoken Of as a suitable candidate
for joint representative. For clerk
the names of Wesley Davis, oi
Newport, Judge Stearns, of Wald-
port, and M. E. Peairs, of Toledo,
are being prominently mentioned
Walt. Smith, Of Yaquina, L. W.
Deyoe and P. N. Lathrop, of Elk
City c. c. Mcbride, of Little Ell
and Gene Williams, of Newport
are mentioned for sheriff. Fol
county judge the candidates spoker
of are G. H. Williams, of Newport
and Capt. H. R. Sturdevant, O
Toledo. A. 7. Peterson, of Tole'
do, and D H. Williams, of Toledo
precinct, are mentioned for county
com missioner. For treasurer the
candidates will probably be J. l.
Hyde, the present incumbent, ant
Dudley Perkins, of this place. Th'
only republican we have heal'
mentioned for sc.ool superinten
dent is Prof. Geo. Bethers.
The above does not include all O
the prospective candidates, and
is probable that some of those abov
are not candidates at all. We jus
. give them as citizens that are be
ing talked of in connection wit
the various county Offices.

Meager reports come from Five
Rivers, IN Lincoln county, of a two
round-bare knuckle-rough and tum-
bic fight in which Theodore Grams
and man named Carr acted as prin-
cipals and another party whose
name was not learned officiated as
referee. The contest took place in
the vicinity of Mr.. Grams house and
the cause has not been learned.
The first round began with a clinch
and a fall AS the ground was
steep both rolled over and over I'M
til they landed in Mr.. Grams spring,
with Carr OH top. Here Grams beg
ged for mercy, and after securing a
promise to cease hostilities Carr let
him up. But Grams. on regaining
his feet and wind, forgot his prom.

beat him severely. Mr.. Grams came

DIED..

CONKLIN-At his home near this
place, on Wednesday, January
19, 1898, Joseph S. Conklin, aged
70 years, II months and S days.
Joseph Smith Conklin was born
at Damascus, Wayne county, Penn
sylvania, February a, 1924. He
was married to Caroline c. Turner
in 1916. Six children were born to
them, one son and five daughters,
of which three daughters still sur
vive him. He Joined the great
throng of gold seekers and went to
California in 1852, but returned to
Pennsylvania two years later. He
moved to Missouri in 1857, where
his wife died in the fall of 1883.
He was married to Catherine Gold
en- November ~, 1860.
He enlisted as first sargeant of
Company A, First Mo. Engineers
on July 6, 1861, and was wounded
while placing cannon in position
in June, 1862. He was mustered
out of the service in November,
1864. For the wounds received in
the service he was granted a pen
sion of 81 per month in 1887, which
was increased to $24 per month in
1891, which rate continued until
his death.
He moved from Missouri to Kan
sas in 1874 where he followed farm
ing until February 1889. when he
moved to Eugene, Oregon, and in
May of the same year he moved to
Toledo, where he has since resided.
The funeral services which were
held on Thursday, were conducted
bv Abe Lincoln Post, G. A. R., of
this place, of which Post tie de-
ceased was a member. The cere-
monies were simple and impressive.
A short address was made over the
remains by Comrade Wadsworth
which was both touching and i'm
pressive. The remains were in
tered in the Toledo cemetery.
Gone, and the world to go on as before,
Gone with a smile from the dear homestead
door,
Dear faithful heart to come back never, nor he
sad any more.
Gone, and the seasons will still come and go,
Wreathing his grave with blossoms and snow
Snow on the bosom that sheltered love so;
Cold and pitiless snow.
Home is not home for the dear ones not there,
Dark is his room and vacant his chair,
Now will he rest from his labors and care,
Till the resurrection morn 30 fair.
Sleep, dear one sleep, with your hands on your
breast.
Poor, weary hands, they needed their rest;
Dearly we loved thee, but God loved thee best,
He has called thee home TO thy rest

AFRO-AMERICAN LEAGUE.
1t Adopts a Resolution Of Sympa.
thy for Eugene Ross and Family.

The Afro-American League held it's
regular meeting last night. The meet
ing was opened with prayer by Thomas
Jefferson. After the regular business
was through and the applications
placed in the hands of the committee,
the following resolutions were offered
by John A. Wylley, and adopted:
We learn with regret that Eugene c..
ROSS has made a mistake in life, and
one that may prove fatal to one so
young If we do not go to his rescue.
Mr.. Ross has mother and sister who
are respected residents of this county
and wholly dependent on son and
brother for means of support Mr.. Ross
has heretofore lead an honest and re-
spected life, and has fallen through the
influence Of bad company. We trust
that this will be- a lesson to him There
fore, in view of his youth and other
surrounding circumstances, be it
Resolved, That the Afro-American
League of Sacramento extend their
sympathy to the relatives of Mr.. Ross i;
and further, that they tender all f1nan-
cial aid to his mother and sister at the
limited command Of the league; and
be it further
Resolved, That after the ends Of JUS
tice has been satisfied this league
pledge itself to rally around the young
man and do all in it's power to get
him employment to the end that he
may henceforth lead an honest life and
be desirable American citizen.

TAX RATE FIXED.
It Will be Forty-Eight and Eight
Tenth Cents.

At yesterdays session the State
Board of Equalization got down to bus
mess, and, as has been heretofore indi-
Gated in the "Record-Union," decided
to leave the valuations of county prop
erty as fixed by the several Boards Of
Supervisors and returned by County
Auditors. Subsequent to the decision,
one of the members Of the board re-
| lieved the strain by saying that every
county in the State ought to be salts
| fed, inasmuch as all got what they
asked for"
Since the receipt of the last of the
Auditors returns, nobody had seriously
| expected that any changes, either In
creases or reductions, would be made.
In almost every instance the returns
sent in showed increased valuations
over those left by the State Board in
1897, While in San Francisco, which
caused most of the trouble year ago,
the increase was over $5,OOO,OO0.
| The amount of money to be raised by
| taxation as fixed by the Legislature
two years ago, was 100000, and ac-
| cepting the Auditors returns, as was
| done, the rate for the present year will
be 4S.S cents per 500. including the
pared with 81 cents per 500 In 1897.
The board will meet Monday next, as
provided by law, and announce the rate,
and as soon thereafter as possible the
| apportionment to the several counties
will be made.
| sacramento County's valuation, as
fixed by the Board of Supervisors and
returned by Auditor Cohn, is $31, ,772-
| SS4, and at the rate agreed upon it
must raise S155, ,051 81.
The apparent decrease in the rate this
year of % cents is not an actual de-
crease, as the same amount Of money
has to be raised as was raised last
year. The assessment roll of the State
has been increased a number of mill
ions, with corresponding decrease Of
the rate of taxation per hundred dol
lars, making it an even thing.

Nearly all the gold comes from Ell
Dorado Creek. So far as my knoWl-
edge goes, there have been no real rlch
strikes made elsewhere. They get
prospects, but they do not amount 10
much. There were many rumors at
Dawson, but when they We're invesu-
gated, they were not verified. OI
course many start out when the ru-
mors come, but they come back empty
handed. I presume there have been
rumors since I came away. AS re-
CARDS the American side, nearly all
who wintered there, If they stay, VIII
go to the American side. This is. prln-
cipally on account of the mining laws,
and besides, nearly all the Klondlke
district is staked off, and there Is lt-
tie chance to get claims. The creeks
had been prospected and worked for
ten years before the steamers brought
out the big finds of gold last year. LII
is conceded that $40 diggings can be
found, but there are not many OF
them.
ION the American side, it is only
ten to fifteen feet to the bedrock, ana
you cannot work in winter. Ihey
are only summer diggings and can pc
worked about three months in the
year. when they have water / do not
doubt the Canadian officials are cor
rupt in many instances and they exact
taxes for licenses and almost every
thing else. There is no royalty unlll
after a man has taken out SOW
which about pays the cost OF mas
claim. If it holds out after that, he
has a chance Of getting rich. Inc
miners cannot see the justice or TAX
ing them in this way and making them
get a license, when the saloons are
not taxed or required to have a IL
cense, or at least, if they do, it Is on
the quiet. They absorb much or the
gold that is taken out and the miners
feel that they should be taxed.
"While>there was no real suffering Ior
lack Of provisions at Dawson last WIN
ter. there was a scarcity OF the proper
kinds Of food, scurvy, therefore, pelng
prevalent. The hospitals were full OF
patients and they often had to leave
before they were cured to make room
for others. When we arrived there, we
found the stores had sold all their can
ned goods and we had to subsist on
coarse goods, like beans and bacon. AS
a result two of our party had to go
to the hospital and the others were al
feeted Citric acid and lime juice did
not seem to do us much good, and the
evaporated vegetables did not seem to
have much strength. AS soon as we
got a change of food in the spring we
began to pick UP and come out all

RETURNED FROM KLOnDIKE.
FRANK JACKSON GIVES HIS
VIEWS OF 1T.
Misrepresentation as to the
Amounts Brought Home by
Returning Miners.

Frank Jackson returned from the
klondike, whittier he went nearly a
year ago, on Wednesday, and expresses
himself as rejoiced to set foot on Cal
1fornia soil once more.
In conversation with a Record
Union" reporter last night, he said:
1 left Dawson in the latter part Of
July, and came down the Yukon on
the steamer Barr. We passed thirty
or forty boats going up, which took up
lots of provisions and will probably
get up all right, the river having raised
two feet. That will relieve the dan
ger Of a shortage of food. I came
down from ST. Michael on the Pro-
greso, leaving there on August l4th.
There were 800 to 400 people aboard,
who had been gathering there.
"I think the public should be in
formed of the real state of affairs and
not be misled by newspaper reports,
which excite other people to go to
Klondike. The Seattle papers said the
Progreso brought down between half
and three-quarters of million. AS
a matter of fact not over $50, 600 came
down on her. Take for instance the
passenger designated as Duke of
Skoohum." 1t was stated that he
brought down with him $4,000 I
knew him personally and know that
he had only $1,000. That is a fair
sample of the exaggeration indulged In
and which leads other men to sacri-
flee their prospects here and go up
there.
1.-THE people should know these things
and be told how the reports have dis
torted the facts. I have carefully
gathered information from authentic
sources, one of which is the Collector
of Customs at Dawson, who knew of
all who went out and saw the mani
tests Of the steamers. It was the
middle of July then, and less than
100000 had been taken away, as
far as he knew. The first two steam
ers carried down the bulk Of the gold,
and counting what went out on the
persons of passengers and what went
up the river, Of which no record was
made, and of which a liberal estimate
would be a million, do not think that
