PIONEERS TO BE HONORED.
Early Settlers of Oregon Are Soon
TO Have an Attractive
Monument.

1t has been decided by the pioneer
monument committee of the Society
of Oregon Native Sons, with the cen
currence of the Oregon Native Daugh-
ters, to hold in Portland next year a
grand celebration to last a week or
ten days. While the plans are not
fully matured. the consensus Of opin-
ion among business men, as expressed
by many of them, is that it will he
more satisfactory to have it take
the place of the annual exposition;
that we should make it state af-
fair-an exhibition of the wonderful
improvements in manufacturing ar-
pliances and machinery in the nearly
threescore years Of our governments,
existence and offer every encourage
ment to the people to bring in the his
torical relics they have laid away, says
the Portland Oregonian.
Besides the attractiveness of such
feature it will give cur historical
society an opportunity to augment its
already valuable collection The Ma
tive Sons and Native Daughters are
historical societies, their common OBJ
jeet being to see that the history of
the early days of the land of "inter-
minabie woods" is duly recorded. The
purpose of this celebration IS to raise
money to build q monument to the
pioneers. 1t is proposed TO erect in
Portland memorial building op ons
of the Park row blocks which can be
used as museum for pioneer relics,
a meeting place for ths pioneers, In
dian war veterans and the Oregon
historical society and as a depository
for the archives of the latter.

A Good Man Gone.

Capt. r. H. Wood died at Bolivar last
week, in the 18th year of his age. No
man ever lived in Hardeman county
who was more highly esteemed than
Robert Wood. Throughout Tennes-
see he had an extensive acquaintance,
especially among members of the
legal profession. During the civil
war he fought for the Southern cause
with company from Hardeman, and
was elected its captain. He served
his country nobly and well in war and
in peace. He was charitable,
Christian gentleman, whose influence
was always exerted for good.

Magistrates Rob the County.

A genuine sensation has been sprung
on the County Court of Hamilton coun-
ty which will be aired in a report to
be made by a special investigation
committee appointed at the last term.
This committee began its investiga-
ton on the books of justices of the
peace of three years back, and have,
so it is declared, found some remark
able conditions. In a large number
of cases magistrates were found to
have been engaged in a systematic
scheme for robbing the county. Humid
reds of cases have been found, so it
Is said, where costs amounted to as
much as $500 in each for commit
ments to the workhouse, and when
prisoners were never sent to the
workhouse. Some five or six years
ago the county issued 100000 in bonds
to pay its floating debt, and was
forced at the last term of the legisla-
ture to apply for an enabling act to
issue another 100000 for the same
purpose. The extravagant expendi-
ture of money aroused suspicion, and
this investigation Was called for. 1t
is believed that a large part of this
debt is due to this long-continued loot
ing of the treasury.
