a Young Man Suicides by Hanging Near
Grass Valley.

Young Man Suicides by Hanging Neal
Grass Valley.
About 10 o'clock last Sunday morn
ing the body of Dan Albright was
found hanging to beam in the barn
on Dave McAlvy's farm near Grass
Valley. Albright had been working
for McAlvy for some time. and at
breakfast Sunday morning showed no
signs of being demented, nor did he
give any intimation of having inten-
tions of ending his life. He left the
house after breakfast, and nothing
more was seen of him until bis dead
body was found hanging In tie barn.
From all indications be bad deliber.
ately tied the rope around his neck
and to a cross beam, then threw his
body into position so as to produce
strangulation.
Albright was about 30 years of age.
and had been about Grass Valley and
vicinity for a year past. Nothing is
known of his former residence or where
he came from, and as he left DO papers
showing where his friends reside, the
had him buried after
holding an inquest. There was no
known reason why he should have
the rash deed, and the sup
position is that he became tired of
life, and concluded to end his existence.

Memory of simpson.
The Native Sons ofioreeon, while
at banquet In Portland on Wednes-
day evening of last week, learned Of
the death of Samuel IL. Simpson, and
committee was appointed TO draft
appropriate Resolutions. They sub
mitted the following which was adopt
ed:
''To the Native Sons of Oregon:
Your committeei appointed to draft
appropriate resolutions on the death
OF Sam L Simpson respectfully submit
the following:
N fMEsloRIAM
Sam L. Simpson, while not born
within the limits of Oregon, was but
ar infant 10 arms when his parents mi
grated hitber.1 His childhood, youth
and manhood fwere passed iu this state,
and in thought, feeling ard character
be was true son OF Oregon. He
loved this Oregon land witn great
and feryent love, and our beautiful
wales, lovely rivers and awesome
mountains were ever dear to his heart
1t was his delight TO weave Into smooth
nowing verse glowing tributes to
natural beauties of our state, and to
embalm ip classic numbers the ro-
nauca, legend and tradition that
elustered rhereabout. His heart was
ever truej to the land wherein he
passed his life, aud his genius fall
sered not in the spontaneous and poetic
expression of this loyal and unchang-
ing love- He was pioneer in Oregon
literature. and has set his name for
ever onesthe scroll of fame. AS 1.-THE
dead are-the guests of the living" so
Sam l. Simpson will ever live among
US. and as long as the Oregon river
shall sing. Its lone songs to the sea, J"
his memory shall be borne upon and
mingled with its tide.
Love could wander
He-e and ponder-
H1ther poetry would dream:
Life's ola questions,
Sad suggestions.
'Whence,and whittier
Throng thy stream"
Therefore, be it resolved, by the
grand cabin. Native Sons of Oe-gon.
that in the death of Sam L. Simpson,
the state of Oregon has sustained a
great loss, and that Native Sons should
especially deplore the passing of this
rightly SIOUX and. be it further
Rsolved, That the foregoing be
spread upon the records of the grand
cabin as = memorial to his memory,
which shall ever be held in tenderness
and homer in all cabins of Native Sons,
and thas engrossed copies of the
same be fnrnised to his surviving
family. ROBERT A. MILLER,

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.
A Very Creditable Entertainment Pre-
sented Bp the Pupils of st.
. Mary's academy.

A Very Creditable Entertainment Pre-
sented Bp the Pupils of st.
. Mary's academy.
A large audience, composed princi-
pally of relatives aud friends of the
.>chool children who attend St. Mary's
academy and St. Joseph's school, con-
gregated 10 the large hall of the
academy Friday night to witness the
closing exercises of that institution.
This is probably the first year since
the founding of the institution that
they have not had graduates, neverthe-
less, this did not detract in the least
from the excellence OF the perform
ance.
1t was opened with a piano trio by
three young ladies at each of the four
pianos. and the manner in which they
performed was sufficient to convince
anyone of the careful and perfect
training the young ladies received.
The music was harmonious in the ex-
tire ne and sounded as if but one musi-
clan was performing in place of
twelve.
The little boys and girls followed
with the singing of "Die Wact am
Rheiu."
Hoffman's polonaise by six young
ladies on the pianos came next and
the interludes by the mandolins in
the distance sounded very beautiful.
The bow and arrow drill by the little
boys highly amused the audience and
were they in the Philippines they,
would have merited the place of honor
in the first rank, which was awarded
to Aguinaldo's followers who welded
the cross bow.
"reminiscences of Tennyson by
number of little girls betrayed marks
of careful training. while the number
of the evening was Mascogni's inter.
mezzo by the orchestra, and that every
member of the orchestra is an artist
from the smallest to the largest can
not be doubted.
An interesting dialogue "Clnder-
elias Plot" was highly amusing, while
the scriptural scene and uableau was
indeed beautiful.
The instrumental selections Marche
Triomphale and Ia Princess were
followed by Good Night drill" by
the little girls. and was fully equal to
the bow and arrow drill of the little
boys,
The orchestra played the conclud
ing selection, "The Souvenir of 49,"
The entertainment from beginning
to end was highly amusing and
credit to both teachers and pupils as
we'll as a sence of delight to the par.
ents who witnessed the clever work
of their children.

Death of Mrs. Harper.

At II O'Clock Monday forenoon, Mrs
Hiram Harper died az her home in
this city after an illness Of only a few
hours. She was taken sick during the
night and gradually grew worse until
the end. her ailment having baffied
the skill of the physicians who were
called. Mrs. Harper was about 10
years of age, and had resided in The
Dalles with her husband and sons
about five years, having come here
from Princeton, Mo. Besides her
aged husband she leaves four sons,
three residing in The Dalles and one
in Missouri, and one daughter who
lives iu Oklahoma.
