JAKE'S" BANNER FOURTHS.
The Adventures of sv Lad Who Desired
to Enjoy the Day.
' He la the Hon. Jacob now, a dignified
nd able senator, bat back in the fifties
he was simply Jake to all except his
grandmother, the pastor who christened
aim, and the teacher when school was
to. His first Fourth of July, according
to the recollection of co temporaries, was
celebrated in a little New England settle
ment composed of farmers and miners
The old folka were alow, but not so the
young ones, and in 1856, there being no
general celebration on the docket, the
boys of Oreville voted to have one of
their own. Jake was in his eighth
year, sad though 'not formally on the
committee, he was around daring the
' councils, and by a timely word named
the location for the "doings."
It was a rocky hilltop on his father's
land, abovt 800 feet above level, the
THE CANNONADE.
, most sightly and convenient spot in the
rwanityr- Jake felt bis responsibjlity
young a be was, and worked like a
beaver to make the affair a success. The
rUlase;fii?nred in history , aa a place
where Washington . had ; had cannon
made, anda cannonading outfit was early
attended to Three ' small pieces were
borrowed from among the relics treas
ured in the neighborhood and- dragged
up tbe steep - hill ' A flagpole was
raised, and bough booths for shelter and
refresbruenta invited", the populace to
oome and make merry Everything
was complete. (.
Stores of fireworks, of powder, of sugar
andJeuouB, and cakf j and candies were
on band, hi'! den in walled op caves, and
the boys of Oreville sat np all night to
welcome the inhabitants that would be
eommoned by a sunrise salute. The--salute
was on time, if not a little previous,
bat the morning hoars dragged. Break
fneie came and went, and not a soul
aide from the faithful few who were
doing it.all, and the inevitable small boy
hangers on rallied to the hilltop to cel
ebrate. The committee boys felt thin
at the waist, and one by one went home
to breakfast, promising to return on
wings in order to do their assigned parts.
An hoar passed, then another, ana
tm another, and only now and then a
spectator was half carried, half coaxed,
to the hilltop. Jak madatb trip from
the store, the mines and the cottages to
the hill dozens and scores of times, and
finally from sheer exhaustion and dis
appointment gave it np. The cannon
boomed . at intervals np, down and
across the valley: the flag flapped lazily
on the pole; the lemonade grew stale
and the candy almost melted in the
burning sun The ardor of the boys be
gan to wane, and finally there was no
one to serve the guns but Jake, whose
enthusiasm was reduced to a simple re
gard for the reputation of bis hill In a
fit of desperation and etnger he scooped
a handful of small stones from the
ground und rammed them in on a
charge of powder. The discharge was
so much louder that he repeated the
dose in other guns, until the whole val
ley got a bombardment of stones that
shattered window panes and rattled on
the roofs of the houses.
The boys laughed and cheered when
they saw the people rush out of doors
and stare at .the display on the hilltop.
A dozen pairs of hands fell to gathering
stones, and after a few more velleys the
inhabitants turned out en masse and
climbed np the hill for safety. Then the
boy renamed blank charges and the day
closed with every soal in Oreville on
Jake's bill
Years passed before Jake got an
other chance to play a leading part in
Fourth of July doings. The year fol
lowing he had emigrated to another state,
and spent the day wandering from cross
roads to crossroads, and from postofflce
to postofflce looking for the Fourth. The
next year he put in hoeing corn. The
year after that he held a flag for a Sun
day school picnic, riding twenty miles
standing np in a hay wagon' loaded with
fidgeting, perspiring humanity, and went
home to reflect that he had endured the
tortures of a twenty mile ride on lum
ber tracks, working like a yeoman mean
while to keep old glory afloat, just to
eat some of his mother's cake and his
aunt's bread and his cousin's biscuit.
The next year, however, made np for a
string of eventless Fourths.
It was the occasion of" the Prince of
Wales' visit to America, and Jake had
become a town boy in a wide awake
place that got np a mock reception to a
spurious highness, who made his en
trance in state on a canal barge. The
fantastic turnout was something gor
geous in its hideousness and in its uni
versality All America, including even
Ah Sin and a group of his cousins, was
represented in a procession that moved
with floats and carriages, on foot and on
horseback. Up to the last moment the
aborigines were forgotten in the rage
for showing foreign' acquisitions. Jake
was a patron of the literature of the
border and an admirer of the red man,
and his services were accepted without
question to fill the gap in the procession.
All went well, and -the umber colored
child of the forest received his share of
homage from the crowds that reviewed
the pageant -
Finally the canal bridge came in sight,
with the prince standing on the edge of
the barge receiving the welcome of the
nations at the hands of a spokesman as
each division came np Jake saw just
in time that he wad a nation ail in him
self, and must be hi own spokesman, j
although no speech had been given him j
to rehearse it occurred to' him. too, j
that his speech mnst be in the Indian j
tongue, and ho knew bnt one expression ,
that he could trust biinself on Halt- J

to convey ' respect he' bawled out. ,

Jake emphasized the last three sylla

the occasion everybody within hearing,
including the king and prince, under
stood him to say for a wiudnp. "What a
hog." his eye meanwhile being on the im
posing and all overshadowing king.
The king lost no time in taking aim
with his eight foot saber of block tin to
behead the rascal who dared insult two
majesties at a word, and Jake turned
heel and dived off the other side of the
bridge into the canal to excape that ter
rible ciineter. .He came np smiling, as
a good diver would, but with his feather
headdress and train soaked and droop
ing, and his cheap war paint making
streaks down his stained muslin hunting
shirt and legging. . At the fantastic ball
which wonnd up the occasion there was
no Red Brother on hand, for all the
roosters of the community had parted
with their tails to supply the first outfit,
and these would have to grow oat again
before another real live Indian could be
constructed. Geo roe L. Kn.nnsB.

THE CELEBRATION.
How The Dalless People Showed their
Patriotism on the Fourth The
Sham Battle Did Not Occur.
The celebration of the Fourth at this
place was, in some respects a complete
success, and in others a complete failure.
The largest crowd perhaps, ever seen in
The Dalles was gathered from all points
of the compass far and near. The entire
i urogram, with the single exception of
i the sham battle, was carried out accord
! to arrangement, but the day was miser
; able, almost beyond endurance, as the
wind blew almost a continual hurricane,
i and filled eyes and ears with blinding
' dust, which the good natured crowd.
however, bore with remarkable equa-
i nimity and patience. The

t guards headed the procession and pre
sented a fine and imposing appearance
These were followed by the J. W. Nes
inith post G. A. R. ; then the Liberty
Car, drawn by four jet black horses
and filled with forty-four little
girls of about the ages of eight
to ten and Miss Annie Sylvester as god
deas of liberty. This was followed by
i wagons filled with army baggage of tne
O. N. G. followed by citizens in wagons
and carriages. Then came the band,
then the fire engines followed by the
members of the fire companies, then the
hose carts and ladder truck, then the
members of The Dalles bicvele club on
their vehicles, then came a baud of In
dians dressed in war costume and
gorgeous . in paint and leathers
then came Indians in wagons and hacks
followed by a genuine prairie schooner
propelled by a yoke of patient oxen, the
i schooner filled with men, women, chil
dren, and the usual assortment of broken
chairs and cracked pots and indented
tinware. Back of the wagon and hitched
to it was a delapidate'd cayuse covered
with a cloth on which was printed
"Billy's' Horse." Then catne a genuine
old-fashioned stage coach drawn by six
horses followed by an imitation of a
modern railroad coach of the U. P. trans
continental line on which, among other
appropriate devices was the legend
"This is the road you long have sought
and mourued because you found it not,
This was followed by a handsomely
decorated wagon belonging to the enter
prising firm of Joles Brothers ; then a
line of citizens and a procession of plug
uglies closed the rear,
Governor Pennoyer, who came up for
that purpose, viewed the procession of
the National Guards from an open car
riage.
THE ORATION.
The vast procession formed in front
of the speaker's stand and after music
by the band Judge Bennet called on
Rev. C. W. Curtis to lead in prayer, af
ter which the declaration of independ-
ance was read, with very clear and dis
tinct enunciation by Mr. John Michell,
editor of the Times-Mountaineer. After
more music by the band Judge Bennet
introduced the orator of the day Hon.
C. W. Fulton of Astoria. Mr. Fulton
commenced by saying that he was in
favor of the celebration of Indenend-
ance day, and of every thing connected
with it from the fat man and plug ug-
lies up. i-very American boy should be
told the history of his country and of
her struggles for freedom. They should
be made familiar wJth the history of
revolutionary times and of the heroes
who too part in it. 1 would teach them
the history ot Washington not partic
ularly the hatchet story that I would
reserve till they should become members
of the common council or. of the legis
lature, but I would have told them of
the dark clouds that gathered over our
nation when internal foes sought its de
struction and by what- means these
clouds were finally dispelled until now
we possess the blessings of " Union and
liberty, now and forever, one and insep
arable." The day we celebrate is of pro
found interest to every lover of the
country, 115 years ago, first called the
United States of America. We, of the
present generation are specially privil
eged to celebrate all the leadinganniver
sanes connected witu the birth of a na
tion that excel Is every other nation on
earth in everything from a sweet potatoe
to a cyclone. I believe it is right to
have a day specially devoted to the giv
ing vent to our patriotism ; and aB good
champagne is known by its etfervessing
qualities so our patriotism may be meas
ured by the exuberance with which we
celebrate. I believe in the American
eagle, and I love to hear it scream; and
a ueiieve in me scat spangiea oanner
mat has noatea over our nation ior the
past 115 years, the emblem of our lib-
erty which is growing grander and grand-
er as the years roll by. I believe that
American manhood is the aggregation of
all that is best of the earth's population
and that American ladies are only equal
to themselves, they only need wings to
be angels, and these we "don't want
them to get yet awhile. I ani no pessi
mist, x don't oeueve tnat all honesty
is gone from the earth and that the peo
ple of former generations were better
than those ot today. I have no doubt
that manv of those whose names ire are
proud to honor would have been as hard
to tackle in a horse trade as some of
their descendants. I believe that a gen
eration that set free four hundred mil
lions of human slaves is better than the
generations that kept them in bondage
and when after four years of fratricidal
strife we can thus meet to celebrate a
Union still maintained or when a people
can be roused to the cry of suffering and
distress as in the Johnston's disaster- or
yellow fever in the south or the Seattle
and Sokane fire, I believe we have a
proof that the world is getting better.
But looking back noon the past we
must admit that there have been defects
in our fortifications. ' We have been
prodigal with our liberty. All nations
have . been invited and the poor and
distressed, of all lands have flocked here
ahd we have made them welcome.
While the majority came to support the
flag, others came to take adyanti.ee of
our liberty. This nation is good enough
for me, but I insist that we frame our
own laws and that no flag shall float over
us but our own stars and stripes. If
this does not suit the asthetic taste of
the European anarchist or .the Muffian
brigand it will not cost him a dollar to
move out from under the stars and
stripes and I am in favor of helping him
to do so aa quickly as possible. Foreign
ers are welcome'hut we have no use for
a class that comes hereto decry or tram
ple upon our institutions. It is fit to
day that we should remember, not onlv
the names of Grant and Logan and Sher
man ana Sheridan, bat of the rank and
file of the grand army rf the republic, of
the men whose patriotism inspired them
not to seek glory but to acchieve it in
the path of duty. Where the grass grows
over their sacred dast it grows on the
graves of patriots. All honor to the
Grand Army of the Republic, the living
and the dead I We would remember tod,
the great statesmen of the past; men
who, like Daniel Webster, wiser than
their generation, pointed out the danger
the lalior of their lives sought to avert.
and him who stood foremost in the
breach when the danger came, Father
Abraham, nrin in bis convictions as a
rock of adamant, but with a heart as
gentle as that of a woman. At the head
of my list of patriots of all time I place,
tne name 01 ADranam .Lincoln. Like a

At the close of Senator Fulton's ad
dress, of which the foregoing is but a
very imperfect synopsis, loud calls were
made for Governor Pennoyer who re
sponded in a short, - good-humored and
characteristic speech which was well and
cordially received and after the band
had played another selection the audi
ence was dismissed by Judge Bennet
and the vast crowd scattered, some to
their homes and others to the restau
rants and hotels or other places of re

.THE ACCIDENTS.
At least four accidents, three of them
of a severe nature, occured Saturday in
connection with the celebration at this
place. Otea Bur ford, son of J. T. Bur-
ford of Centerville, was thrown violently
from a cart, on the other side the river.
His arm was broken and the cart smash'
ed into splinters,
As the procession was marching west
on Fourth street the borse of adjutant
Haworth became ungovernable, and as
the saddle was loose Mr Haworth was
thrown violently to the ground. No
greater injurv resulted than a bruised
hip andademoralized pair of regulation
pants.
As the procession ot plug uglies was
marching west on Second street near the
corner of Laughim, a man named
Thomas, who was mounted on a pair of
stilts fully twelve to fifteen feet in the
air, tripped and fell violently to the
ground, lighting on . his face. He
picked up bleeding and bruibed and
carried out of the sun where he soon re-
vived sufficiently to be able to walk to
bis home.
The fourth accident was the worst of
al aiul tho9ft vhn ,t AarK ,t -
miracle that a lite was not lost, in one
one of the bicycle contests, at the fair
ground as Mr. J. P. FitzGerald, drum
major of the third regiment band, was
nearing the wire, his machine ran into
a dog that was lying on the track. Mr.
FitzGerald was thrown violently to the
ground and for a time it was feared that
he was killed but, in a short time he
revived sufficiently to allow himself to be
conveyed home where it was found that
beyond some severe bruises and cuts in
the face and arm he was not seriously
injured. He is resting easily today and
in a short time, we have no doubt, will
be around again. A fifth accident, in
no way connected with the celebration
happened to H. Clerish an' old and well
known resident of this city, who came
here in 1869, as a soldier under the com
mand of General Crook. Mr. Cleriph

chored near the shore and from that all
the fireworks were discharged. The
committee showed as good taste in the
selection of fireworks as they did in the
location, and everything in regard to the
pyrotechnic display was pleasing and
satisfactory. The goods were purchased
of Mr. Jacobson and under his manaee-

In the course of his remarhs he said:
"What the country needs today is a

We should not ask to make the govern
ment stronger, but purer. We should
have a just, sound and stable currency
adequate for the interests of the country.
The masses of the people have no inter
ests in common with the few, who .may
desire to see the country suffering under
the paralysis of hard times, and have

We had the pleasure of meeting John
Fulton, Esq., one of Sherman county's
prominent citizens, last Saturday, and
he informs ns that Sherman county is
wearing her best apparel this season,
and that her grain product will be the
largest and best ever known within her
borders. Mr. Fulton thinks, should The
Dalles portage company build a narrow
gauge road out as far as Wasco, the peo
ple would make the road tell in their
country.
Visitors to Cloud Cap Inn were treated
yesterday to a heavy shower of snow
which made them glad to get back to the
warmth and sunshine of the valley.
Miss Annie Fulton, of Deschutes, is
visiting in the city and is the guest of
Mrs. S. L. Brooks.
