San Antonio, Ter., Oct. 11. A Mexi
can named Calos Villada has arrived at
Gonzales from San Luis Potosi, Mexico.
He states be is a direct descendant of
.Santa Ana. He is in search of several
hundred thousand dollars buried treas
ure, which, according to a chart in his
possession, was buried ' on top of a
mound a mile east of Gonzales, and was
placed there by Santa Ana 50 years ago,
while camped at that spot on his inva
sion of Texas. The Mexican's story is
Teceived with credulity at Gonzales and
a large force of men are assisting him in
excavating for his treasure.
Is Mrs. Maybrick Innocent.
London, Oct. 11. In the next issue
of the Review of Reviews, Stead, its
editor, will have an article headed,
"'Ought Mrs. Maybrick to Be Tortured
to Death?" in which he reopens the
whole case of the unfortunate American
woman, now undergoing sentence of life
imprisonment in a working prison for
the alleged poisoning of her husband, s
wellknown Liverpool merchant. Stead
says both be and Sir Charles Russell,
the attorney-general, received from
South Africa copies of the death-bed
confession of Harry Wilson, who de
clared that he, with a woman whose
name is not given, placed arsenic in the
medicine administered to Maybrick dur
ing his last illness.

A Triumphant Success.
New York, Oct. 12. Yesterday the
people of New York, Brooklyn and Jer
eeyCity turned out and Ji tied up along
Fififi avenue to witness the parade of
schools in honor of the Columbian anni
versary. Today they line up on each
side pf that great grand thoroughfare,
the Hudson river, to witness the impos
ing naval parade. To even a greater ex
tent than necessary the city is buried
in bunting and the fashion has extended
to the sight seers themselves, almost
every one displaying the national colors
on the lapel or elsewhere as personal
adornment. All parts of the cities sur
rounding New York harbor, except those
bordering on the route of the parade,
are almost deserted, it is estimated that
not less than 1,000,000 people were
massed on both shores from the battery
to Grant's tomb to witness the stately
procession as it moved grandly up the
broad waters of the majestic Hudson
river. The start was made at 12:30
o'clock from Gravesehd Bay in three
columns, 300 yards apart. The foreign
war vessels occupied the center, with a
United States vessel on either side as an
escort. As the line entered the Narrows
a salute of 21 guns was fired from either
shore.
Current Topics.
What oar Fraternal Brothers Dare to
say About the Dalles Convention.
Sunday Mercury. The people of The
Dalles specially distinguished them
selves in extending umeasured hospital
ity to their guests. They are a generous
and progressive people and well deserve
the sturdy growth and substantial pros
perity with which they are blessed. Ex
tended reference will be made in our
next issue to a number of interesting
items of information gathered during
the session.
Pacific Farmer. The scenery along
the Columbia -was arrayed in its best
"bib and tucker" for the special occa
sion. The boat made one stop of hfteen
minutes at Memaluse island. This bar
ren rock and sand pile lying in the mid
dle of the Columbia has been made
famous by the fact that it is ah old bury
ing grounds of the Indians, and also by
the tomb of the late Victor Trevitt, an
old time printer and eccentric character
of an early day of Oregon. The tomb
and monument of this man will perpet
uate his name for long years after the
great men of our present day are forgot
ten, situated as it is on that lonely rock,
surrounded by the mighty waters of the
Columbia and guarded bv the decaying
bones of hundreds of the natives who
were inhabitants of the land in his early
day. From this island of bones to The
Dalles was but a short run, and here the
delegates were met by the band and es
corted to the Umatilla house where they
were made to feel at home and were en
tertained by Col. Sinnott's famous story
of George Francis Train's trip across the
Columbia river by walking on the backs
of salmon in an early dav.
Arlington Record. Much valuable
work was accomplished durinz the
session, notably among which was the
thorough consideration of the temporary
portage question, resulting in the pass
age of a unanimous resolution, pledging
the earnest support of the journals of
this state in favor of a temporary portage
rom Celilo to The Dalles, to be con
structed by appropriation from the state
by its next legislature. The members
visited this point in a bodv and were
readily convinced that the time is now
and had long been ripe when, in justice
to the people of the Inland Empire and
the state in general, the matter should
no longer be delayed.
Hillsboro Independent. At 6 o'clock
p. m. the boat touched at The Dalles
dock, where the visitors were met by a
great company of citizens and escorted
by a brass band to the Umatilla house,
which is to be our home while we stay.
The house is a large one, well managed
and in every way comfortable. Notwith
standing the sudden arrival of over a
hundred guests they were each assigned
rooms within a space of twenty minutes.
The dining-room is a large one, capable
of seating two hundred guests at a time.
To us who have for a lifetime,. say thirty
years, lived in the Willamette vallev,
this visit is a wonderful revelation. Tlie
Inland Empire has been written about. !
but to realize what it is, one must visit
it, or read figures. It is a wonderful
region undeveloped. But of its capabil
ities another chapter must be written.

THE AMERICAN CONSUL MOBBED
Perhaps a Trifle Too Eccentric But the
Canadians Should Not Re
fuse Good Advice.
Montbeal, Oct. 11. Further particu
lars have been received here from Three
Rivers of the trouble the American con
sul, Colonel Nicholas Smith, is having
there. -In his consular report Colonel
Smith commented on the style of living
of the French Canadians in a manner
that they consider not justified by the
facts by long odds. On September 17th
Consul Smith sent a report which was
published in the abstract of the sanitary
reports of the official organ of the marine
hospital service of the United States.
He stated that the town of Three Rivers
contained few sewers and no paved
streets, and there were charges of filthi
ness. Colonel Smith's literary style
was not appreciated by the people of!
Three Rivers, and late on Saturday
night, while he was in l)ed, a riotons
mob of 2000 people surrounded his house
with the intention of wrecking it.
Colonel Smith strongly barricaded every
entrance and succeeded in keeping them
out, but a shower of stones smashed
every window in his residence. The
entire police force was sent to his rescue
and dispersed the mob, which gathered
again on a public square and burned
Colonel Smith in effigy. In the. early
morning another attack was made on
the house, but a strong cordon of the
police surrounded it and their intended
victim escaped. The police are still
guarding the house, for public feeling
runs very high, and should Colonel
omitn appear on tne street he stands a
good chance of being mobbed. : The
Trench Canadian press all over the
province has taken the matter up, and
Consul Smith's recall is peremptorily de
manded. The matter has been brought
to the attention of the state department
at Washington and the Ottawa govern
ment. Smith is a son-in-law of Horace
Greeley and was appointed by the pres
ent administration. He is said to be
somewhat eccentric in his behavior.
It is with pleasure that we introduce

the fact that there is no part of a news
paper more important and valuable to

make this feature one that will enable
pur farmers to be informed on all com
mercial questions, such as pertain to

may know where and when to purchase,
and where and when to sell. Our reports
will be gathered from the most reliable

He Who Discovered Vs.
Several American girls are winning
honors as sculptors in Chicago, and it
begins to look as though it were no
longer necessary to go to Rome for such
work. The greatest genius is said to be
.Miss Julia M. Bracken. Hers is the
genius that defies environment. Born
on the banks of Apple creek, near Gen
eral Grant's old home at Galena, this
, unpretentious young girl has drawn ever
since, she can remember. It was her
carving on her brother's discarded cigar
boxes that first attracted serious atten- !
tion to her talent and led her to the
Chicago-Art institute.
We really must decline to credit the
story that Chauncey M. Depew ever
thought of missing the chance to make
a speech at the Columbus fair dedicatory
ceremonies. We are pretty credulous.
but that yarn won't go down.
If Judge Gresham is going to vote for
Cleveland, as report now credits him
with the intention of doing, let us hope
that he will come out flat-footed over
his signature and say so. A repetition
f the hubbub raised over his rumored
willingness to accept the people's party
nomination for president would be very
wearisome just now when the public
mind is occupied upon matters much
more important.

wheat outlook.
The wheat market is quite unsatis
factory. Advices from abroad give poor
encouragement to the producers for a
realization of prices that are remunera
tive. Foreign markets are firm, and a
fair feeling exists at home,
have advanced from 22) to 30 shillings
within the last few days at Portland,
which in itself conspires to keep prices
down, if not to lower. The latest
foreign advices show a weakening tend-
ency.and Chicago and New York markets
are in sympathy. Our Dalles market
is steady, the Diamond mills are paying
03 cents per bushel for A 1 wheat; and
the warehouses are paying C0C2 cents
for lo. 1 and 5759 cents for No. 2.
Our farmers are storing in the ware
houses in preference, rather than sell at
the present prices. Wequoteas follows :

A Naples Donkey Harrow Story.
A ridiculous incident is recorded br
our correspondent at Naples. There is
an asylum in that city for old people, in
the service of which is nsed a small don
key barrow on which is inscribed th
words "Little Sisters of the Poor.' and
which is generally used for collecting '
old gifts, from the sale of which the in
stitute derives an income of about 20.-
000 francs a year. The other day one off
the paupers fell and hurt his head, and
was conveyed in the cart, accompanied,
by two nuns, to the Pelleerini hospital.
Just before reaching it the cart npset
and the donkey ran away and took ref
uge in an office of the "Lotto." The
spectators and inhabitants of the neigh
boring streets immediately crowded to
the "Lotto" office to play the numbers
appropriate to the different persons and '
objects connected with the affair S3, 86,

placarded the following numbers at it
door, with the heading. "Yesterday's In

The hoppers are not of the variety that

Chic sco Horse Market.
J. S. Cooper, commission salesman of
horses, Union Stock Yards, Chicago,
says the past week developed an active
and increased demand for draft horses,
principally for pinery work. A large de
mand for this class is anticipated from
now on. uood chunks and streeters
continue to sell freely and some buyers
are on the market picking up cheap farm
mares. Good drivers are also in request
with very few on the market. A few
loads of range horses were on the market
and sold quickly, with quite a brisk
demand. These should be forwarded
without delay.

perhaps a shade higher than prices pre
