SALEM, Or, Sept. 29.-State Land
Agent L. B. Geer, who is making a
tour of the state, looking after state
land interests, in letter from Myrtle
Point to his daughter, Miss Evelyn
Geer, clerk in his office, says:
"While at Gold Beach, thers was a
dwelling-house burned within 100
yards of where was sleeping. A good
ola lady, Mrs. Edison, lived in the
house all alone, and it. seems some
fiend went there and murdered her In
her bed and then poured coal oil over
her and set fire to the house. The old
lady was so completely burned up that
there were but few of her bones saved,
and they all crumbled to pieces.
"TLis same lady's husband and two
sons were killed by the Indian In
1856, and their bodies were also burned
In their house, while she and her
daughter were carried away captives
and afterwards recued by the whites"
The letter does not state when the
murder occurred, but 1t is supposed to
have been some time last week.

stantly changing, and there was a
yeritable pyrotechnical display as the
answers were flashed across the bay
to the salutation of passing ships. A

admiral's salute. which the Olympia
returned with 13 guns, the salute for
rear.admiral. AS the Chicago passed
close to the Olympia, Dewey, who was
on the quarterback, returned How
isOn's salute, and shouted out greet
ing. The sailors Oh the Olympus

hearty tcheers of the Chlcago's crew.
The Chicago proceeded to Tompkins-
Vile.
AT $50 o'clock, the Dolphin, flying
the secretary cf the navy's flag, hove
in sight, having on board Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Allen, who was
received with salute.
The slope of the forts were crowded
with soldiers, and as the first gun
belched forth its welcome they cheered
Justify. The face of the hero of Manila
was wreathed in smiles as his ship I
answered gun for gun. A little later
the cruiser joined Admiral Simpsons
fleet off Tompkinsville, which thunder
ed out its welcome to the commander

stopping at the Waldrof.Astoria as

THE HERO
IS HOME
Admiral Dewey Arrives
in New York.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Mnch to the
surprise OF every one in the city the
Olympia with Admiral Dewey ON
board arrived of Sandy Hook lightship
at 5:55 this morning. The Olympia
sailed from Gibraltar September 10.
There was a heavy mist on the sea,
| and at first the marine observers were
! inclined to think the vessel sighted
| might be the Chicago, Rear-Admiral
Howison's flagship, hardly believing
thae Dewey would arrive Two days
ahead of time. The doubt was soon
cleared away. however, and as pass
ing vessels recognized the flagship
from Manila bay there was a con-
tinuous blowing of whistles in salute.
One of the first large vessels to
sight the Olympia was the passenger
steamer Sandy Hook, of the Sandy
Hook line, which left Atlantic High
lands shortly after o'clock, for her
New York dock. just as she got we'll
under way, a war vessel was seen
through the fog and the passengers
and crew, headed by the Sandy Hooks
captain gathered at the rail to read
the newcomers name. To get near
enough to do this the Sandy Hook
changed her course and headed
directly for the Olympia, blowing her
whistle in salute as she did so. As
soon as the name was made out the
Sandy Hook passengers cheered with
all their might, and in few moments
an answering cheer came over the
water from the warship's sailors. many
of whom were gathered on deck.
The flagship came up to the lower
bay and anchored inside Sandy Hook.
AS soon as the anchor was dropped an
orderly was sent ashore with dispatches
from the admiral and other officers.
He said that the ship had had a
pleasant trip across the Atlantic, and
all on board were we'll and glad to be
home again. Eleven of the crew of 375 |
men are sick with a mild type of
typhoid fever, none of the cases being |
serious.
The Dolphin, flying Rear-Admiral
flag. was sighted about l |
o'clock. The Olympia fired salute
and the marines were called up to re-
ceive the rear-admiral. A moment |
afterward the rear-admiral anu ad. |
miral shook hands:
Dewey said: 'Look at those marines. |
Did you ever see finer body of men?"
The rear-admiral complimented |
them and said to Dewey: "Are you
well?"
"Don't I look well?" asked Dewey.
He certainly did. He was clear
eyed and his brown complexion and
smart step showed his perfect health.
81 am we'll, admiral" said Dewey, a
later, "but feel a bit tired.
When mans been aboard ship nearly
;wo years. he needs something of the
shore. I am awfully glad to be among
ny own people again"
