Hound Over.
As we reported Monday Albert Mes
plie and William Avery were brought
into Justice Doherty's court Monday
afternoon at 3 o'clock. They, had
alreadv appeared in court and Avery
had plead guilty and Mesplle not guilty.
The state was represented by W. H.
Wilson and Mesplie was represented by
J. L. Story. The following witnesses
were sworn and examined on the part of
the state; Joseph Chamberlin, Wolf
Shroeder, I. J. Norman, Con Howe and.
Ralph V. Gibons. The only thing of
importance brought out by the witnesses j mije anv
was the fact that Mesplie had partially
confessed the crime to I. J. rorman.
Avery then made the following state
ment:
"I am 26 years of age. I was born in
Fulton county, New York. I have been
in The JLaiies since last ouue. 111-

night last, after leaving Shroeder's
saloon Chamberlin, Mesplie and I
walked up the street' together. On the
way up 1 pickea up a rocK ana at

fell through on the sidewalk. I walked

the old man to the back of the China
house when we all stopped. Chamber
lin asked what we were going to do.
Just as he said that Mesplie struck him
with a rock. He fell backwards abqut
twenty . feet. When he fell, hefell on
his back and I held him down. Mesplie
went through his pants pockets but said
he could find nothing. As Mesplie said
that the old man reached to his hip
pocket and handing out his purse, said:
Take it, but leave me enough to go
home on ; Mesplie took the purse, but
could not open it. I took it and tore it
open, some part or tno money ten on
the. ground and Mesplie picked it up
and put it in his pocket. don't know
how much it was, but he said it was
small change and1 showed me some.
There were $5 and some change left in
the purse. I asked Mesplie where" he
intended to go and he said 'To Pendle
ton.' Then we went to Dan Baker's
and had a drink. We then came back
down town. On the way Mesplie sai
he wanted half of the $5 I had. We
went into the Umatilla house and the
night clerk changed it for me and I gave
him $2.50 in the clerk's presence, We
then came out and went into McDonald
Brothers' saloon. We met Tom Allen
there. Mesplie told him he had $8.
Tom said, 'You had better let me keep
it for you.' Mesplie said he could take
care of it himself. We then came out
and went up the street and Con Howe
arrested me."
Mesplie made no statement and the
court placed both defendants under
bonds of $2000 each for their appearance
before the next grand jury, in default of
which both prisoners were remanded to
che custodv of the sheriff.

bitter sorrow to his parents, who' have

At our county institute, held last
August, a resolution was adopted, in
structing the superintendent to appoint
'a .committee of two toad in conjunction
with him in forming a graded system
for the schools of Wasco county ; and
that a meeting of teachers be held in
The Dalles during the holidays to dis
cuss such plan, with a view to its adop
tion. The work of the committee has
been done, and the plan will be sub
mitted to the teachers at a meeting ap-
dointed for Wednesday, December 30th,
at 10 o'clock a. m., in the county court
room.
This morning the occupants of the
land office building heard cries of dis
tress proceeding from -the office of Dr
SidcUil, but for a time paid no particu
lar attention to it .supposing it to be
some young person who was getting a
tooth pulled. Ae the cries continued
some one made an investigation when it
was discovered that little Theodore
Nickelsen, eon of Mrs. Weis of this city
had visited the doctor's office to get a
tooth pulled and closed tho spring bolt
of the front door which left him in the
vestibule so that he could get neither in
jior out. The doctor was absent and the
They Got the Cake.
Yesterday, just as the sun was eink-
ng behind old Seven Mile mountain,
and the the gray darkened into night, a
little company gathered in the cozy par
lor of Mrs. Myers on Third street where,
with the aid of Rev, W. C.-Curtis, Miss
May Farley, was wedded to John A.
Christians.
After the usual , congratulations the
party adjourned to the dining-room
where a finely ordered table seemed to
have gathered all the luxuries of the
season. To the cheer 01 the host and
ostess was added one or two "that re
minds me," of our story teller -which
prevented too much attention to more
edible good, and recalled all to the en
joyment of each other. Near the close
of the feast one' bethought him of a cer
tain notice in .the Chronicle to the
effect that A. Keller, the leading baker
of our city, had offered one of his fine
wedding cakes to. the first couple who
should be married before Christmas eve
and wondered if it might not properly
belong to our happy couple, but iust a
look from the hostess was enough to
signify that the question might possibly
be out 01 place, tor even then she was
preparing to surprise the company by
putting upon the table that identical
cake. It was recognized immediately,
for some who sat there bad looked at it
with longing eyes as the baker dilated
enthusiasm over the mixture, replete
with everything charming to the palates
of such as dare to taste its richness.
The proof of the compound was in the
eating, and regrets were voted for the
next couple unless they are fortunate
enough to secure one of Keller's loaves.
After the feast music and good-bye
and Mr. Christians and his bride started
for Portland and San Francisco. The
Chronicle wishes them a pleasant jour
ney and a safe return.
Wamic, Dec
Editor of the Chronicle :
The 6tockmen are quite through gath
ering in their stock for the winter and
the majority of them predict a hard
winter.
Dr. Whitcomb of Dufur was again
called to Wamic on Dec. 18th, to visit
Mrs. Strickland, who was taken ill quite
suddenly with what 6eemed'to persons
present to be a light stroke of paralysis.
The doctor, however, pronounced it con
gestion of the liver. Dr. Whitcomb, by
the success of his profession, has won
the admiration and respect of the people
of Wamic.
Ed Driver of Praine City is now visit
ing his father and brothers of Wamic.
As we are Americans, we are for
America. As Oregon is our native state,
we are for Oregon. As we are citi
zens of Wasco county, we are identified
in ner interests ; and as we live in Wamic
we are for home, and we have as good
land and as much of it to the square
part of Eastern Oregon.
But half of the tillable land is not tilled,
from the fact that we have no market
for it at home, and the rocky bluffs of
Tjgh intervene between us and our only
market, The DalleSj It is no wonder
people talk of our country not progress
ing. Let me ask this question what
causes a country to progress? What is
progression? Webster defines it as ad
vance, to progress, but we may in this
case define it thus; "prosperity, wealth,
development," and before a country oan
prosper it must be developed;- and this
is just what we want something that
will help to unburden our people and
create a market for the products of the
producer. The people of The Dalles
have accomplished a good work, which
is one stroke toward the prosperity of
our country, in putting a line of boats on
the river, and the people appreciate
and will sustain them.
Then excuse yonr humble correspond
ent tor building castles, but if there
were no castles built there would be
none to fall. We need for the future
good of our country a railroad. There
have been railroads projected by rail
road men, but nothing of a permanent
nature has yet been done. It takes
capital to build steamboats, to build and
operate railroads, and all these things,
yet all of these are required to open up
and develope a country as it should be
developed. It is plain to be seen that a
railroad is what the people of Eastern
Oregon want, and it is quite necessary
that they should have it, but it is. not
necessary that we should have the best
railroad in the world.
Why, then," should not the people
between Dufur . and Wapinitia work
a la mode, the Regulator to organize
and concentrate capital and build a mo
tor line which would be sufficient to
carry the freight, passengers, mai and
express, wjiich when summed up is no
insignificant affair? Or if this cannot
be done, invite capital to take hold of
it. It is something we earnestly need
and every inducement should be thrown
out to secure it. The road would secure
nearly all the wool ami . freight traffic
coming by Sherar's Bridge. Tygh Valley
and the surrounding country would
double their productions, there would
be an inducement for people hunting
land to come here and settle, and our
country would naturally become richer.

for allowing the politicians to run politl

but little opposition. My neighbor says
"How so? I do not uphold political

it up. "Oh, yes I have," he says. "
joined the farmers' alliance for the pur
pose of bringing out a new party and
for the cleansing of the political atraos
pnere ana to put good honest men in
office that will look after the farmers in
terests, We should have men to repre
sent us in office ; who will work for the
farmer and make laws for bis benefit
Yes, brothei, but we have had too much
class legislation. That is the matter
with us now. "Well, how would you
bring about a reform in politics without
a new party in the field?" By simply
reforming the old parties. "How in
thunder would you do that?" Let
every farmer attend the primaries and
see that the tricksters that work in the
interst of the county seat rings at the
primaries throughout the different pre
cincts are left at home and good honest
men sent in their places as delegates
from each precinct to attend the conven
tions; men that cannot be taken by the
arm and led to a saloon and treated a
few times by the political county-seat
ring leader, and when the convention
meets Mr. Delegate votes "yes" for the
county-seat ring man, tooth and toe nail.
Yes, brother farmer, let your delegates
be sober, honest men, that will look
after the best interests of all and see
that no man gets a nomination for office
that is not worthy of the office, then if
they betray their trust, let it be the last
trust you ever confide to their care politi
cally. Brother farmers, throw your in-'
fluence.in favor of purifying the old
parties and that influence will be felt
and we shall net need any new political
parties. Observer.

"Oh ! how shall I keep my Christmas?"
My heart whispered softly to me,
For I had been reading the story
Of the Lord's nativity.
And slowly aud clearly before me .
The words, like pictures, rise,
And the scenes appear in the beauty
Of the starry Syrian skies.
O cradled He was in a manger!
For lowly and poor was He
Whose throne is the splendors of Heaven,
Whose power is infinity.
And He bore His cross to save us,
To save us from Death and Ein,
And He trod all alone the wine-press, -,
To make us pure and clean.
In glory the hosts of the angels
' Came singing His song of praise,
And filling the Heavens with music
In those wonderful olden days:
Singing. "Glory to God in the highest!'
And "Peace upon Earth," and then
The mighty chorus of voices
Pealed forth, "Good will to men!"
"Oh! how shall 1 keep my Chrtstmas?',
As they kept it in Heaven above;
O keep it with peace and thanksgiving,
And kindliest deeds of love, -And
share wi :h the poor and needy
The joys which the Lord gives thee;
And thy heart shall keep with the angels
The Lord's nativity. .

Wasco Connty Has the Champion Wheat
Grower of the World.
Last week we copied a paragraph from
a Willamette valley exchange' that made
tne claim that M. W. Belshaw of Farm
ington, Lane county, carried the honors
of the champion wheat grower of the
world. The right of Mi . Belshaw to
these honors is disputed by a gentleman
of this county. In 1875 George II. Riddell
of Columbia precinct was living in Linn
count; . That year Mr. Riddell entered
at the Oregon state fair a sample bushel
of wheat grown on, a ten-acre field on
his ranch near Oakville in Linn county.
Mr. Belshaw entered part of a bushel
that he had raised in his garden.- Mr.
Riddell's wheat took the first premium
for the best bushel of white winter
wheat and the sweepBtakes tor the best
bushel of wheat of any kind. Colonel
I. R. Mores was then at the head of the
O. & C. railroad company. The colonel
asked Mr. Riddell. for the half of his
prize bushel of wheat. The request was
granted and Colonel Mores sent Mr.
Riddell's wheat to the centennial exhi
bition of 1876 where it was entered by
the O & C railroad company. It took
the sweepstakes premium against the
whole world. If Wasco county cannot
raise the best wheat in the world she
claims that she owns the man that did.

Wamic, Or., Dec. 20, 1891.
Editor of the Chronicle:
You asked me to write a few lines
casionally for your valuable paper. I
will try to do 'so this morning hoping
they may prove acceptable, if not con
sign them to the waste basket. I shall
leave it to Uncle Toby to give you the
local news.
I have been reading a great deal about
reform in politics, put forth in the
farmers' alliance newspapers. I will
admit that we, the farmers; need a re
form in politics from the highest officials
at Washington to the lowest precinct
officers in Oregon. But the farmers are
as much to blame for bringing about j
this state of affaire, as the people are
Christmas Services.'
The services at the St. Paul's Episco
pal Church on Christmas day will be as
follows:
A 7 in..l Carina. O. a m
Celebration of the Holy Communion;
11 a. m., Fall morning service and ser
mou, followed by a second celebration
of the Holy Communion.
Sunday St. John's Day The Christ
mas music will be repeated at the morn
ing service. At 7 p. m., the Children's
Coral Service will take place.
On Mondav Holy Innocents' Day,
there will be a short carol service for the
children at 4 p. ni., after which they
will repair to the hall where they will
enjoy their Christmas festival.
Sensible Conclusions.
The executive eommittee of the Wash
ington Farmers' Alliance has issued
an address in which they very sensibly
say :
As alliaance officers we propose to be
loyal to the principles set forth in this
declaration and to allow each member
the privilege of a free American citizen
to vote as he pleases. And we do not
propose to control or to be controled by
any party. The proper attitdne of the
alliance politically is to be prepared to
criticise or admire the action of any of
the parties, and if a new party should
go into power to be just as free to dis
cuss its merits or demerits as we are
now those in power. We advocate cer
tain principles which we wish to see in
corporated into the laws of the land, but
we are willing for the people to take
whatever, course they think the most
wise to secure the establishment of these
principles.
