today contributed $100,000 to the demo
cratic national campaign fund.
The Lakes in Mar.
Valpakaiso, Oct. 7. Professor Pick
Bering, of the Harvard branch observa
tory at Arequipa, says that he has dis
covered 40 small lakes in Mars. He
- also confirms Professsr Holden's obser
vations on the limits and measured al
titudes of the planet.
Convention of Straight Democrats.
Topeka, Kan., Oct. 7. The state con
vention of straight democrats meets in
.this city today. It is expected that 500
delegates will be in attendance. It is
not the intention to nominate a state
ticket, but to denounce the action of the
democratic state convention of July in
nominating the state ticket of the peo
ple's party and practically abandoning
the democratic state organization.
Resolutions will be adopted declaring
for the national platform and ticket.
The democratic state central committee
met here . yesterday. The first district
congressional committee appeared be
fore it and urged that the state commit
tee demand that the people's party with
draw the name of Fred ' J. Close, the
people's party candidate tor congress, so
-that Ed. Carroll, the democratic nomi
nee, may have a clear field against the
republican candidate. Delegates from
the first district to the state convention
were induced to vote for the indorse
ment of the people's party state ticket
with the understanding that Close
would be withdrawn. The straight
democrats claim that fusion in Kansas
has been nullified by the action of the
people's party and that the state peo
ple's party ticket will certainly be de
feated, as the democrats will vote the
republican ticket.
The Original Documents.
Rochester, N. Y., Oct. 7. The firm
of Gawnian & Erb, of this city, is con
structing a chest as a receptable for the
original Declaration of Independence,
the draft of the same made by Thomas
Jefferson, the constitution of the United
States and other valuable, historical and
legal documents which are to be exhibit
ed at the world's fair. The chest in ap
pearance is like a safe built in the form
of a sideboard. The height is 10 feet, it
is three feet six inches broad and abont
as deep, and is made of highly wrought
gray steel. The trimmings, which are
put on in abundance, are of gold leaf.
A shelf lined with velvet is placed be
low the upper drawers. The latter are
of oak. When the gold combination
.lock is turned to the number and the
.steel doors fly open, a set of drawers,
working on rollers and provided with
birkhead brackets, appear. The chest
is lined with tin. - It will be sent to
Washington and there supplied with
plate glass, so that the curious may
catch a glimpse of the documents. A
special will be provided and under a
guard composed of several army officers
it will be taken to the fair.
Let 17a Spray."
Grant's Pass Courier. -Fruit-growers
of Southern Oregon must make up their
minds to use London purple and Paris
green if fhey wish to save their fruit
from insect pests. The notion that our
climate does not agree with the codlin
moth, the woolly aphis or any other
insect, is a wrong one. Anything that
flourishes in any part of the world will
thrive here, except, perhaps, bop lice,
which have hitherto found our summers
too dry for their constitutions. Every
year the ravages of the codlin moth ap
pear more widely distributed, and the
spray-pump is the only antidote. Let
ns spray. .
Dynamite in Homestead.
Homestead, Pa., Oct. 7. A dastardly
attempt was made to murder about 40
non-union men in their beds. A dyna
mite bomb was thrown through the
window-of a boarding-house where many
non-union men lodge, about 2 o'clock
this morning. It exploded with great
force, seriously damaging the building;
bat, as the force was downward, none of
the inmates, who were sleeping on the
upper floor, suffered ) anything more
aeaoaa than a bad scare.
"v ini -AFTERMATH.
Last Installment of the Contributions
. From the Oregon Press Assclation.
Col. Eddy in his report of the National
Editorial association omitted some very
important facts. Some of the "members
would like to know where he and
Doughty spent their evenings. Watson.
Clevelands election is sure. Noltner.
If you are a Workman you want the
Workman. Burkhart.-
Yamhill sends greeting to the Inland
Empire, Open the river. Weeterfield.
We need a Regulator to fix our scale
of advertising. Stanley.
We are delighted with our reception
by the citizens of The Dalles, and are
enjoying ourselves. The most of us are
surprised at the importance of the city
as a trade center, as we find here very
large stocks of goods, many of which
would do credit to much larger cities
than The Dalles. Chas. Nickell.
Better late than never. Cradlebaugh.
Keep my pictures while I go to Celilo
to catch a salmon. Wolden.'
"We are for the protection that pro
tects and the reciprocity that recipro
cates," said Chairman Wilson at Chi
cago, and so should the Inland Empire
sav to the webfoot division of Oregon
Eddy. ' -
"That 11th hour exhibit," I repeat,
"takes my eye." It is indeed very good.
If that is the "skim-milk," as I have
heard it called :in The Dalles, what was
the cream? The answer comes from
Portland, stating that 11 out of 13 ex
hibits of Wasco county fruit-growers re
ceived first premiums at the Industrial
Exposition. Now, when I consider the
6,000,000-pound wool clip, the possible
wheat shipment this year aggregating
1,250,000 bushels, the number of horses,
cattle and sheep annually grown in the
county, the good-looking and honored
mayor who gave us the freedom of the
city, the handsome and cultivated
women, assisted by the dutiful, beautiful
and charming girls, who met us at the
Cascade Locks last Tuesday and served
us with such an elegant lunch I say:
When I consider all these, together with
the most cordial reception of the Oregon
pencil-pushers by the press of Ihe Ualles
and the i-iti.ena thereof generally, then
it may be said that, as a fraternity, we
need si new set of adjectives to give ade
ouate exiiressiun to our delight at being
here and of .our appreciation of the ex
cellent treatment we have received.
George H. Himcs.
Duel Oier a Senorlta.
San Aktokia, Tex., Oct. 7. Duels
among hot-blooded Mexicans are becom
ing of frequent occurrence in this sec
tion of Texas, the latest affair of honor
taking place .last evening in the Chario
community, Godlio county. Pierro El
dero and Catarino Montez, two cotton
pickers, attended a dance Wednesday
night, given at the house of Manuel
Flores, who has a pretty daughter named
Franceses. The two dusky cotton-pickers
became enamored of the charms of
the fair senorita, and the dances of the
fandango were evenly ehared by her
with her two ardent admirers. Eldero
and Montez met yesterday morning in
the cotton-fielda and began discussing
the belle of the night previous, w hen
Montez asserted with a taunting air that
he had made a successful conquest of the
heart 'of the pretty Franceses. Eldero
challenged the statement, and they soon
became involved in a quarrel which
resulted in their making an agreement
to meet on the field of honor at sun
down with 38-caliber pistols at 20 paces.
They met at the stated time. Each man
was accompanied by two seconds. El
dero was killed at the first shot. Montez
escaped unwounded, and immediately
fled to avoid arrest. He is being pur
sued by officers.
A True Story.
The Philadelphia Times has a letter
from Col. Pat. Donan written at Astoria,
from which we clip the following true
story : "Such a fishing ground I never
saw anywhere else on earth, and the
pitiful little fish stories one hears mis
guided eastern people trying to tell
make me seasick. Five weeks ago last
Monday a fishing party was given to me
by J. O. Hanthorn, one of Astoria's
wealthy cannerymen. We went in a
steam yacht. The party consisted of six
gentlemen and four ladies. Among the
number were two Episcopal clergymen,
Rev. W. S. Short, of Astoria, and Rev.
T. A. Hyland, of New York. I am a
trifle particular, as you see, in my men
tion of them. We started between eight
and nine o'clock in the morning, and
returned at five o'clock in the afternoon,
and we brought back 23,100 pounds of
fish. That sounds big, does it? Well,
it is exactly the size of the truth. We
had 700 fish that averaged thirty pounds
each, and 300 that averaged seven pounds
each. Now, go to Pat with your Lihpu
tian fish tales."
Coming; to Astoria. '
Washington, Oct. 7. The new light
house tender Columbine, destined for
service on the North Pacific coast, will
sail from New York for that station
next week, under the command of Lieutenant-Commander
West, of the United
States navy. ' She will stop en route at
Rio de Janeiro, Montevedio, Valparaiso
and San Francisco, and is expected to
reach Astoria in about 70 day 8.
ROBBERS INTERVIEW.
Sontag anil Evans Safe in tie Kings
River Canyon Country.
WELL SUPPLIED, IXACCESSABLE.
Claim That all Their Shooting has Been
Done in Self Defense.
SUPPOSED CASES ' OF : CHOLERA.
Intense Excitement In Tonawanda
Health Authorities Greatly Dis
turbedOther News.
San Francisco, Oct. 7. A special re
porter of the Examiner has just returned
from the King's river canyon country.
The paper will print today an interview
between this reporter and Evans and
Sontag, which discredits the recent
reports of their having started for
the coast and elsewhere. It eays in sub
stance : They are both well, are in an
inacceesable place, and have ample pro
visions. The only woundEvans received
in his late fight at Young's cabin was a
graze flash wound ' over the eyebrow
from McGinnis' pistol. Sontag was shot
through the fleshy part of the arm, but
the wonnd is now healed. They deny that
they robbed the train, say they can prove
their innocence by an alibi, and claim
that all the shooting they' have
done has been in self-defense.
" Two Supposed Cases of Cholera.
Tonawanda, N. Y., Oct. 7. Two new
cases of cholera are reported in the
house at Ironton, where the Kalmas,
father and son, died, and the excitement
here is intense. In a little four-room
house"there live nine people who came
to this country three months ago, and
were employed at the iron works here.
Frank Kalmas died" nine hours after he
wa9 attacked, and his son died of the
same disease after an , illness even
shorter. This morning it is reported
Kalmas' wife and an Austrian named
Falisch are down with the disease, but
in a milder form. The health author
ities are greatly disturbed and have
asked for instructions from the state
board of health. The house is quaran
tined, and the bedding and furniture in
the rooms occupied by the Kalmas
burned. A lot of mail from Enrope was
found in the house, and it was also de
stroyed. D. Jayne said today that the
disease had every appearance of genuine
cholera, but thinks it maybe sporadic
cholera. The people in the house, he
said, had been eating tainted meats and
rotten vegetables. The surroundings are
generally of an uncleanly character.
The Cost of Gowns.
Chicago News.' It is reported that a
dispute has arisen as to the price of the
most costly dresses. A Connecticut lady,
it seems, has acquired a certain celebrity
at a cost of $1,800, which she invested in
a single gown. A Chicago authority re
plies with pride that a bride of this city
had a wedding gown which cost $4,700
rather expensive when it is considered
that wedding gowns are not of much
use. Another authority, also local,
mentions a ball gown that cost $1,000,
and still other gowns cheap ones
costing $500 or $600. By using system
and energy no doubt all these figures
could easily be beaten. There was once
rumor of a society woman who wore so
much jewelry that two detectives were
secured to dance in every quadrille with
her. Had she been consumed in a fire
while wearing her ball dress it would
have paid better to receive insurance
not for herself but for her apparel. In
New York it is said to be customary for
ladies to retire from the festal scene at
regularly recurrent intervals and count
up with their maids, who keep an in
ventory and price list. If over $300
worth is missing they go home, regard
ing the assemblage as unsafe. These
little facts are mentioned to encourage
those who have hitherto been unable to
get above the $1,000 mark. It is really
not difficult if plenty of money is handy.
It was Mr. Emerson who said "the
first wealth is health," and it was a
wiser than the modern philosopher who
said that "the blood is the life." The
system, like the clock, runs down. It
needs winding up. The blood gets poor
and scores of diseases result. It needs a
tonic to enrich it.
A certain wise doctor, after years of
study, discovered a medicine which
purified the blood, gave tone to the sys
tem, and made men tired, nervous,
brain-wasting men feel like new. He
called it his "Golden Medical Discov
ery." It has been sold for years, sold
by the million of bottles, and people
found such satisfaction in it that Dr.
Pierce, who discovered it, now feels
warranted in selling it under a positive
guarantee of its doing good in all cases.
Perhaps it's the . medicine for you.
Your's wouldn't be the first case of
scrofula or salt-rheum, skin-disease, or
lung disease, it has cured when nothing
else would. The trial's worth making,
and costs nothing. Money refunded if
it don't do you good.
THE DALLES CONTENTION.
Returning Members of the Association
Send Us Greetings. .- "
"Portland Telegram. The members of
the Oregon Press Association have never
had a more enjoyable time at any of
their annual excursions than at the one
recently held at The Dalles;'' The people
of that beautiful little mountain city
were unstinted in their hospitality and
gave the visiting editors a welcome that
could not have been exceeded in cordial
ity. Their reception to the editors was
the finesse in the art of entertaining.
The weather was charming and every
thing tended to enhance the pleasure of
the occoeion.
The visit of the Oregon editors to The
Dalles was' productive of good in at least
one respect. It gave them an enlarged
view of the importance of the Columbia
river to the commerce of the Northwest.
They were impressed with the necessity
for an open river, and they learned from
actual observation that the surest re
liance for opening the river was by
means of state appropriations, . hence
they adopted a resolution memorializing
the next legislature to make immediate
provisions for building a state road to
Celilo falls.
The editors looked upon the unfin
ished work at the cascade locks, and
saw there a monument of extravagance
and useless waste of time. There has
been time and money enough expended
there under federal supervision to have
built a dozen locks. While the work
at the cascades' has been progressing,
the Suez canal has been completed, and
the "Soo" canal has been built. As a
result of the latter improvement, wheat
is now being shipped from Duluth to
Liverpool for less than it costs to ship it
from The Dalles to Portland.
A Rival Movement.
West Coast Trade. The "green -goods"
man has sent a big batch of his circulars
to merchants and others throughout the
state again, and his proposition to in
crease the currency, giving a more equal
distribution of wealth, is looked npon as
a rival movement in solving a vexed
question without third party aid.
The Lord is Lucky.
Klamath Star. Instead of developing
tUe fact that this is a bad year for calam
ity, the democratic leaders are cussing
Peck, the man who proved that fact so
clearly in his report. But the good Lord,
who kent the calamity away from our
doors, has thus far escaped dispiteful
treatment at the hands of these leaders.
COFVKKiWTIBSB
As ooocl as new
that's the condition of liver, stom
ach and bowels, when Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets have done their
work. It's a work that isn't fin
ished when you've stopped taking
them, either. It's lasting. They
cure, as well as relieve. And it's
all done -so mildly and gently !
There's none of the violence that
went with the old-time pill. One
tiny, sugar-coated Pellet's , a gentle
laxative three to four act as a
cathartic. ' Sick " Headache, Bilious
Headache, Constipation, Indiges
tion, Bilious Attacks, and all de
rangements of the stomach and
bowels, are prevented, relieved and
cured. As a Liver Pill, they're nn
equaled. They're purely vegetable,
perfectly harmless the smallest,
cheapest, and easiest to take.
They're the cheapest pill you can
buy, because they're guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is
returned.
You only pay for the good you
get. Can you ask more ? "
That's the peculiar plan all Dr.
Pierce's medicines are sold on.
