GOYRRNOR Psttison emphatically denies the story of having been offer ed the position of Controller of the Treasury by President Cleveland. Tn ranks of the Hlinois legislature kave again been broken by death. This is the third case in this session and removes one of the democratic members, which will delay the elec tion of a U. S. senator for several weeks. The party vote of the house isatia. THZ lowest temperature in Oregon dnringMarch was 33 degress,the high est 63. The vegetation is said to be greatly advanced in that state, flowers and fruit trees having been in lull bloom for the last few weeks. The im migration in the state averages from 60 to 70 per month. TIB war news from the Afghani stan cause a considerable rise of rail road bonds, as well as wheat, coaloil and produce. In case of war which is a settled matter by this time, the outlook for a lively forrign market in grain, meat, leather, Ac., is splendid and the demand and exportation of American products will naturally greatly raise their prices. THR untimely reports which have been published and spread by the press of Mrs. Lucretia Garfield's be trothal to a Presbyterian minister have proved to be nothing but sensa tional items of news without any foun dation whatever. The offended lady and widow of the late president denies the story in decided and pointed lan guage in a letter to the public.

WASHINGTON, April 9.— The follow ing is told as one of the incidents at the White House to-day : A Western Democratic Senator call ed to press the appointment of one of his constituents to an Assistant Com missionership. "When I was practicing law," said the President, "I found that an instru. ment m writing usually outweighed an oral statement. You Senators seem to have a habit of signing petitions for candidates and then you ask ver bally for the appointment of others to the very positions. I can't affoid to waste time considering such requests. Half the Democratic Senators have signed a petition for the retention of the incumbent of this place and your name is on the list. I don't know the man,but he is certainly well endorsed." "Oh t no I" said the Senator ; "1 have not signed such a paper." * Thereupon the President is said to have produced a petition bearing the Baoator*s signature, as stated. "I never was BO flattened out in my life," remarked the Senator, when nar rating the incident to a friend. "Tbe fact ii, we sign almost any thing, bat it has generally been understood that it means nothing." Attempt to Assassinate Hoadly. CLEVELAND, April 10.—A special from Coshocton says that the Demo cratic Standard , of that place, has pri vate information of a plot to assassi nate Governor Hoadly. Last Monday, it says, the governor received through tbe mail a strong wooden box,from one end of which hung a string. The gov ernor's suspicions being aroused, he caused tbe coyer of tbe box to be remov ed, and a carefully arranged infernal machine, loaded with dynamite slugs and spikes, was disclosed to view. The string had been so adjusted that to have pulled it would have caused an explos ion, resulting in death. It is said the authorities are at work on the case,and for that reason the facts haye not been made public. ■ ■ ■ Horrible Massacre, TBI NORTHWESTERN INDIANS AND HALF BREEDS WADE IN BLOOD. OTTAWA, Ont., April 10.—In the house of eemmons this afternoon Sir John Mac Donald said he regretted he had to announce a masacre at Frog Lake, about 40 miles north of Fort Pitt WINNIPEG, April 10.--Later news from Battleford says 'that fourteen persons in til were killed by tbe In dians at Frog Lake. Fort Pitt is gar- risoned by only twenty-five police. It is thought there that these and all tbe settlers around have been massacred. Pitt is surrounded by tbe wortt In dians in the northwest, mostly under the leadership of the notorious Big . Bear. The Hudson Bay company this af ternoon received another dispatch from Prince Albert stating that the settlement at Carlton which was not consumed when the place was evacu ated by Irvine and Crozier has been burned by the rebels. Ar. exchange says : April is General Grant's month. He was born April 27, 1882; fought the battle of Shiloh, April 7, 1862; broke General Lee's line April 2,1865, and received his surrendei at at Appomattox,April 9,1865. Thursday April 9th 1885 was the twentieth anni versary of that gieat historical event. WASHINGTON LETTER. • I .1 Prom our Regular Correspondent. WASHINGTON ,D. C., April 18,1885. Probably the most laborous and the worst bored of the headsof departments is the Postmaster General, who not on ly has the full control of the appoint ments in 48,525 post offices in the Unit ed States, but has partially the over sight in the appointments of the other 2,332 Presidential offices. Naturally, therefore, the office and the corridors adjacent to the office of Mr. Vilas have been thronged to absolute crowding during the past three weeks by those who being iu desire to stay in,and those twenty-four year fellows who have pa tiently waited to get in. The number of officials, employes, contractors, post masters, mail carriers and mail agents who pay homage and fealty to the Postmaster General, embraces one third of the entire civil list of the coun try, and this fact may account for the other fact that the average Postmaster General is a short lived individual. In eleven years, durine: which time we or dinarily should have had but three Postmasters General,we have had nine, and Mr. Vilas is the tenth. The last administration averaged over one per annum, having had James Howe, Gresham and Ilatton, and the six an. nual reports that have been transmit ted to Congress in the past six years, have been signed by six different Post masters General. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which takes the initiative in everything pertaining to the safety and comfort of railroad passengers in this country, is now disputing England's supremacy in the matter of speed. The trains on the Great Western Railway, from London to Liverpool, acnihiliate the distance at fifty miles au hour, exclusive of stops, but what will J/r. Bull and the rest of the world say when they learn that the Pennsylvania Central Road whirls its passengers from New York City to Chieago[a good thousand miles] in twenty-four hours—including stops? By tho schedule that went iuto effect last Sunday, the great cities of the east are thus placed within twenty four hours with the metropolis of the West, and this wonderful achievement is ac companied by the most positive guar antees of comfort as well as perfect safety. Neither pains nor expenses have been spared in the adoption of ev ery possible means to insure passengers against accident, so that the inaugura tion of this new enterprise is destined for this line the 'continuance of that popularity that its admirable management in the past has won from the whole traveling public. The conflict between the Government and the people in regard to the settle ment of the Oklahoma domain, can be adjusted and concluded only by tho o peningof that vast region to itsoccupa tion by its legitimate owners, the pto ple. It is a domain that belongs to and ought to be in unmolested possession ot the Government. The excuse for now keeping actual settlers out of the Ter ritory, is that it maybe added to the al ready enormous possessions of the ranchmen and cattle-kings who,if they once got a foothold there, will not fail to occupy it to the exclusion of any and all individual settlers. These lands be long to the United States Government to all intents and purpose, and all the proclamations that the executive may send out in the next four years will not serve to divest the people of their right to have this magnificant region opened to actual occupation by the white set tler. PHONO. Death Removes a Democratic Mem ber of the Illinois Legislature. SPRINGFIELD, 111., April J2.— J.Hen ry Shaw, mem ber of the legislature from Cass county, was found dead in his room at the Palace hotel to-day. Deceased had been ailing during the whole session, but not so that he could not attend to his duties most of the time. Representative Shaw was over 60 years of age and lias been an un swerving democrat. This makes the third death duriflg this session, some thing which never occurred before. It was anticipated that upon Senator Da vis, from Greene county, assuming of fice something tangible would be done in relation to the United States senator ship question but this unexpected oc currence will again throw it back for twenty days at least. What makes the situation still worse it leaves the house a tie upon any question which will be construed into a party issue, and thus retard business. The governor will be requested to issue a writ for a new elec tion to-morrow, but the election can not take place before twenty days after the call. The district represented by the deceased is largely democratic. Ail Infernal Machine for Bismarck. WASHINGTON, April 12.—A box ad dressed to Prince Bismarck excited the suspicions of the authorities al Frank fort-on-the-Main and it was opened.

While it remains, it is a poison that iesters in the blood and may develop into SoroL nla. This condition causes derangement of the digestive and assimilatery organs, with a feeling of enervation, languor, and weariness—often lightly spoken of as "only spring fever."
