The residents of Stevenson were
thrown into great excitement Monday,
when ]. T. Tatton and w. Udill re-
ported that they had discovered coal
! deposit on fire within quarter of a
mile of the town. The greater part of
the population turned out to see what
was the matter. A subterranean fire
is burning in crevice in the rocks
with sulphurous smell. So hot is
the fire that it was difficult to make
any Roadway at excavation. It is a
wonder to the people at that place and
is thought to be coal or gas on FIRE.
In the near vicinity OF the fire are
small veins of coal running back from
the Columbia River. Some years ago
a coal prospector sunk q shaft some so
feet, but abandoned it. Recently coal
prospectors we're operating in the
neighborhood and declared there were
excellent indication of coal and gas.
They bonded much of the property in

the amount claimed, feeling quite

IT is said that J. Pierpont Morgan
pays no attention to conventional
rules which other less favored financial
mortals are bound to respect. He can
of course isolate himself from the
common herd, by riding in private cars
and chartering the upper deck OF
steamships, but occasionally he is
obliged to run up against rules that
are intended to apply to all. Lately
at Oakland, Cal, when the special
train that brought his party from the
East arrived at Oakland Mole, and the
New Workers walked aboard one OF the
Southern Pacific ferries, Mr.. Morgan
and Bishop Potter assembled together
to the upper deck. Both we're smok-
ing cigars. A deckhand, unmindful
Of the air of Importance that clothed
the strangers, mildly demonstrated
against this infraction of the rules.
Mr.. Morgan bestowed upon him a
glance of Indifference and kept on
smoking. For the first time on record,
the boats crew did not enforce the
rule. Thus, in all his dealings, it is
said, does the Wall street king, uncon-
sciously perhaps, make it apparent
that he is man used to having bis
own way. He may some day run up
against somebody who will insist upon
compliance with that equality which
is exacted of American citizenship.
Then the autocrat will discover that

DEATH OF MRS. ALEX. DRYsDALE.-
A Walla Walla dispatch Of the 4th
states that Mrs. Alex. Drysdale had
committed suicide the previous night,
At her home 20 miles from that city,
by taking strichnine, yhile suffering
from melancholia. Mr.. Drysdale, her
husband, was for several years a resi-

some doubt AZ to the death having re-.
