News.

Portland, Oct, 2S.-Unusually
tragic were the circumstances oil
the death of John B. Gilbert, killed
J Sunday night by a vicious boar.
| The Gilberts live on the north
side of the Base Line road. The
| family consists of the wife and three
children. Mr. Gilbert made spe-
cialty Of raising hogs, and pens are
| within sight of the house, one can
see all over the pens, excepting
inside Of the shed. The main pen,
about 80 by SO feet, in which are
kept the vicious boar and a small
white one, is in plain view. 1t was
here that the death struggle took
place. Mr. Gilbert left the house
about 6 o'clock to do the chores. He
complained that the big boar had
attacked the small white one and
nearly cut the latter to pieces, and
said that he was going to seperate
them. The big boar weighs about
800 pounds and has large, sharp
tusks.
When Mr. Gilbert left for the pen
Mrs Gilbert laid down to take a
, nap. Shortly afterward she AVA
kened in startled state Of mind.
She looked around outside even
going as far as the pens, but it was
to dark to see anything. The nei-
ghbors were aroused. The men scar.
ched the pens with a lantern, but
discovered nothing. The next morn
ing the wife telephoned to her
brother, at Troutdale. He arrived
at the place at noon. Previous to
this the pens were serched again in
broad daylight, but the body was
huddled in a corner of one of the
smaller pens and covered with mud,
SO that it escaped observation. Mr.
Edwards said that he felt within
his inner consciousness that the
man must be in the pens some
where, and began a systematic
search. He soon found the body.
A trail of blood told how the acci-
dent had happened. When the boar
ripped open the leg with his tusks,
the blood spurted on the fence. The
man evidently put his hand to the
injured part as anyone would nat
nrally dc, for the bloody imprint of
his hand is seen in several places,
on the fence. He walked about 10
feet along the fence, leaving the
marks of his hands, and then threw
himself over the low fence into an
other part ofthe pen a small inclo-
sure about 20 by 25 feet. Here he
tried to rise to his feet by grasping
the fence, as his hand marks show,
but loss of blood evidently caused
him to drop. exhausted into cor
ner Of the pen.
The infuriated boar continued
to try to get at its prey, for the
boards separating it from the body
are pierced by several holes from
its tusks. A sow and litter of pigs
had entrance from the sheds into
where the body was found, which
accounts for its mutilated condition.
While the right leg had been partly
devoured, this in itself is evidence
that the artery was severed, for it is
the nature of hogs to begin in such
cases where the blood attracts
them.

London, Oct. 29.-The efforts ol
the promoters of the Morgan "tube'
railway scheme to procure the re-
establishment of the parliamentary
statue of their original franchise
bill, as whole led to an hours de.
bate in the house Of Commons to-
night. the only result of which was
the withdrawal of the endeavors.
The Morgans intended to ask later
for therscommitial Of the bill grant
ing rights for their proposed "tube, .
but which was privately bought up
by the Yerkers interest.
Thomas G Ashton, who moved
the reeommital OF the Morgan bill,
accused the London United Comp
any ofa dishonorable transaction,
and said he doubted whether SC
'sdirty a transaction" had ever been
entered into by parties coming be-
fore Parliament. He said also that
the House should resent these ac-
tions by passing the Morgan bill,
thus giving the Morgans a chance.
Mr. Ashton's pioposition was gree-
ted with "No, no."
Mr. Ashton's motion was opposed
by Sir John Dixson-Poyndel, who
said the Morgan scheme was now
a truncated affair, and that it was
not within the province of Parlia-
ment to intervene in the dissension
Of rival spectators. James G Low
ther agreed that the Morgan promo
ters had been badly used, but he
said their enemies were those Of
their own household. Sir Lewis
-McIyor. chairman of the house
railroad committee, and others also
opposed the motion, which was fin
ally Withdrawn.

retary Of the interior has just re.
ceiyed positive evidence of exten.
sive frauds being perpetrated in
Oregon under the timber and stone
act, whereby certain persons are
seeking to acquire absolute coutrol
of the richest timber lands in the
2uLiie domain of the state. The
most fragrant violations of the law
have occurred in the Reseburg,
Lakeview, and DaHes land dis
tricts. According to the secretarys
advices people are being shipped
into these districts by carloads and
are Immediately entering the for
rested lands under the timber and
stone act. In other 3 instances,
large tracts are being denuded OF
their timber by parties who are do
ing assessment work on what they
assert to be mineral developments.
There's is strong proof that large
number of the alleged mineral To-
cations are non.mineral land and
have been made purely for the
purpose of acquiring the timber.
So positive and convincing Is the
evidence now in the secretary's
hands that immediate steps are to
be taken to prosecute every one of
the fraudulent entrymen. AS first
Step Secretary Hitchcock today or.
dered that all entries in Oregon uR.
der the timber and stone act be
suspended pending specific inves.
tigation and directed that each
timb Der entryman be served with a
notice to show cause why his entry
should not be cancelled.

companies since going upon the stage,
among them The Isle of Champagne"
and Ben Hur." The past season, he
was with THE Ladies' Paradise" a
spectacular English opera, which was
put on by a large company at the
Metropolitan. 1t will be remembered
that Mr. Lanier and Miss Lettie Bry-
an, well known young lady of Sa-
Vannah, left Savannah about the same
time and studied for the stage in Bal
timore under the same tutors. Miss
Bryan has met with success, and dur
ing the past season she was engaged

Washington Politics..
Col. Estills visit to Washington
county the early part of the week has
won him great many votes. On every
hand, people are saying good things
about the editor-candidate and he is
going to be given a large vote here on
June 5. 1t is impossible to forecast
the result of this county. Guerrys sup
porters have always claimed that this
county was overwhelmingly for him,
while. on the other hand, Terrell's sup
porters have been making the same
claims. Estill's friends are numerous,
and while not claiming everything in
sight, yet they are putting in some
good work for the South Georgia can
didate, and hope to have this county
in line for him by June 5.

NEGRO SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
Frank BedeII Assassinated in Musco-

Columbus. Ga. May News reached
the city to-day of killing late yes
terday afternoon in Edwards district,
in the eastern part of the county.
Frank Bedell. a negro about so years
of age, was shot to death in the high
way by unknown parties. He was rid
ing along in his wagon, when the re-
port of a gun was heard and he fell
from the wagon to the ground. He
was evidently instantly killed, for the
load of buckshot tore a great hole in
his head, and the brains had ooZed
out upon the ground when people ar
rived on the scene. The assassin was
concealed along the side of the road.
There were no witnesses, so far as
known. A white lady at a house near
by heard the report of the gun, but
supposed it was negro boy shooting
at hawks.
Bedell's mule went on home, mile
or two further as if nothing had hap
Dened. His wife was alarmed and
started back over the road, when she
came upon her husbands body with
quite a crowd collected about it. Three
months ago Bedell was the principal
in an affair in Edwards district in
which Mr.. J w. Driver, a road over
seer, had his shoulder fractured by
young Arthur Bedell, while the elder
Bedell was shot through the leg by ].
J. Rodgers. a bailiff. The trouble
grew out Of the elder Bedell's refusing
to work the road with the tools assign
ed him by the oVerseer.

pany were received by Controller Cen
eral w. A. Wright to-day The total
returns of the system are $13,406, 020.50,
an increase over the returns of last
year S139, 962.5 so. Most of the lines COM
posing the system are returned at the
same figure as last year, while four
show a healthy increase and two a
slight decrease. The line from Savan-
nah to Macon is returned at 81, 489, SS8,
an increase over last year of $11S, 662.

turns and will not do so until he in
vestigates these, as well as the re-
turns of other lines and compares

in the state should show a good in
crease this year, considering the fact
that they have been making more
money than heretofore, The controller
general to-day rejected the returns of
the Nashville. Chattanooga and St.

for them by Paines Celery Compound
In this way the glad tidings of prompt

from day to day to the remotest
towns and villages, and the blessed

direction.
One of the most remarkable cures of
recent years effected by Paine's Celery
Compound is the case of Mr. Wyan
Nelson. President of the Nelson Grain
Co, of Kansas City, Mo. With in
tense gratitude and thankfulness, Mr.
Nelson writes as follows
Il was nervous, respondent, irrita-
