Threshing is progressing very slowly in Morrow county, owing to extreme wet weather. The Prineville flouring mills are run ning on full time grinding the new crop of wheat. Parties who recently crossed the Cas cades sny there is considerable snow on the summit. Fort Klamath folks will have 2,500 tons of hay put up, with uncut grass enough to make as much more. The state Normal school at Monmouth opened Wednesday with an attendance of 180, exclusive of the model school. Sheriff Noble, of Morrow county, has commenced to force collections of 1812 delinquent taxes which amount to $1,800. Captain Goodwin, for so many years police captain in Portland, died at Mar blebead, Mass., Sept. 21st, aged about 70. Two potatoes are being shown at Pen dleton, which together weigh six and a half pounds. One is fourteen inches long. Samuel Adolph, one of Salem's oldest residents, fell from his road cart Sunday and sustained injuries from which be died shortly afterwards. The numlier of school children in the state of Oregon is 120,45 ; in the state of Washington 112,300. These are the results of the school census this year in both states. Mrs. Governor Pennoyer is at the world's fair, having accompanied her son Horace as fur as Chicago on his way to attend the Lawrenceville preparatory school In New Jersey.

Mr. Ballou had the best crop of hops in this vicinity. A little son of W. M. Pieree of Goose berry was brought to Heppner Sunday, suffering from a badly broken arm. The accident occurred some time ago, the right arm being broken near the elbow. The bones were badly set and conse quently the fracture failed to mend. It is feared the arm cannot now be saved, as proper medical assistance has been too long delayed. Governor Pennoyer received from J. W. Mullen of . Rosoburg two goblets of turned wood, one of oak and one of myrtle, and match bolder. These represent a new industry started in Roseburg and are the first .articles turned out.

Mrs. Graham was married to the brute in Nebraska several years ago, but sepa rated from him there, coming to Oregon with her parents, whither Graham soon followed, making much trouble for them after their arrival here, lie was arrest ed by the authorities. Dispatch. IMPEACHING CROVER Senator Stewart, of Nerafla, Is After tee President Toflay.' WARM IN THE SENATE CHAMBER Arraigns Him for Obstructing Legisla tion and Trying to Coerce Congress. Washivgtos', Sept. 23. The presi dent of the United States will be ar raigned in the United States senate Monday for violating the spirit of the constitution in endeavoring to destroy the independence of tbe lawmaking branch of the government by seeking to coerce congress into the passage of the repeal bill. Notice to this effect is clearly indicated In the resolution pre sented this morning by Stewart of Ne vada, upon which he announced he would address the senate Monday. The resolution declares the independence of the co-ordinate departments of the gov ernment must be maintained, and the use of power and influence by one de partment to control the action of an other is in violation of the constitution and destructive to our form of govern ment. The introduction of the resolu tion created a sensation, and discussion of the matter Monday will attract great attention, as it indicated the silver sen ators will divert the discussion in the senate to the alleged attempt of the president to control congress. . THE BOMB THBOWN. Washington. Sept. 25. Special to Th Chhonic'lx. Never in the history of tbe senate since the famous impeach ment trial of Andrew Johnson, has tbe senate beenMn such a turmoil as it is to day. Said Benj. F. Butler in reference to the former: "For a tithe of these acts of usurpation, lawlessness and tyr anny, King James lost his throne and King Charles his head, while we, the representatives of the people, adjudge only that if convicted by that higher court to which we shall send him, he shall be removed from office, the ambi tion to be again nominated to which has been the moving spring of all these crimes." On that occasion tbe tumult of applause was deafening, but today Senator Stewart has created a Babel of excitement'. In his vituperation of a man for whom he has conceived so vio lent a hatred he knows no bounds, and accuses Grover Cleveland of the openeet and most shameless effrontery ever offered to any assemblage of intelligent people. He said that Mr. Cleveland claimed the prerogative of dictating what congress should do on the silver question, holding threats in reserve if such should not be done. Such is a usurpation of power unwarranted in any country, democratic or quasi-democratic, and that Mr. Cleveland cannot yet as sume the role of dictator. The senate is in a most turbulent state and ajl at tempts to maintain order are futile. Cleveland's Arraignment. Wahhisuton, Sept. 25. Senator Stew art began by referring to the recent centennial anniversary of the laying of the corner-stone of the capilol, when, he said, tbe president, 'with more than 100,000 high-paid government offices to bestow, with a veto power designed only for extraordinary occasions, backed by concentrated capital and a "venal press," turning to the senate wing, de clared in menacing tones that if the representatives there assembled legis lated in passion or prejudice or in be half of sectional or selfish interests, the time when the corner-stone was laid or the circumstances surrounding it were not worth commemorating. This senti ment was cheered by a thoughtless multitude, and construed by a venal press as a rebuke from the president to the guilty venal senate. Stewart then quoted from the history of England as to tbe parliamentary struggle with the Stuarts. Coming to the present time, he charged that the president, in disre gard of his oath of office, allowed the secretary of the treasury to violate the act which made the purchase of 4,500, 000 ounces of silver per month manda tory, by exercising an unlawful discre tion in purchasing a smaller amount. Stewart declared that at no time since Charles I, in either England or the United States, had any king or president openly and defiantly disobeyed a statute which he himself had declared niandutory, or allowed his subordinates to do the same thing. Was it not time to sound an alarm? If con stitutional liberty was of any value, all should stand up and say to the president : "You have overstepped the mark; we cannot afford to have the laws of con gress diregarded." CLEVELAND'S INABILITY. To Force a ute Democratic Protec tionists at Washing ton-Note. Washington, D. C, Sept. 10, 1893. Mr. Cleveland is slowly but surely finding out that there are some things which even a president with a powerful will cannot do, and one of those things is to compel the U. S. senate to vote upon a bill before its members get good and ready. A week ago the announce ment was made that having become tired of the delay Mr. Cleveland in tended to personally force a vote on the Voorhees repeal bill. Well, the vote has not been taken and there is no in dication that it will be taken very soon. Or, the contrary, the indications are that it never will be taken, unless the senate shall adopt the change of rules proposed by Senator Piatt, which would practically be cloture, and Senator Voor hees, who is Mr. Cleveland's personal representative on the floor of the senate, has publicly said that he would never consent to cloture. The hilver senators have announced their determination to filibuster indefinitely to prevent a vote, and they are quite strong enough to do it under the present rules of the senate. The democrats in the house have for tbe purpose of getting the bill repealing all laws authorizing federal supervision of presidential and congressional elec tions before the house adopted the most outrageous cloture rule ever even sug gested to a legislative body, a rule of which Representative Burrows truly says: "In the Fifty-first congress all that we ever did was to cut off dilatory motions. But now, if the capitol should fall down or take fire while the commit tees were being called, we could not even take a recess." If this unusual method had to be adopted by the demo crats after a week's ineffectual efforts to get this bill before the house it is diffi cult to imagine what they will have to resort to before it is passed. Tbe re publicans in the bouse will fight it with all tbe means at their disposal, and re publican senators may be compelled to use the silver question as a club to kill it. The closing days of the tariff hearings were made exciting and decidedly un pleasant for Chairman Wilson and his free trade democratic colleagues on the houue wars and means committee, by the presence of one hundred prominent democrat" from the states of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, who de manded that the tariff on bituminous coal be let alone. Mr. Wilson and his colleagues were told that if they re moved the tariff on coal they would kill one ot the most important industries of those three states, to say nothing of all chance for keeping those states in the democratic column. The men who pub licly made those statements were not conficd to those personally interested in the mining and transportation of coal, but included such prominent dem ocrats as Gov. McCorkle of West Vir ginia. The public statements of these democratic protectionists created a sen sation among tbe democratic free trad ers in congress, but their private talk created a panic in the same class. They told Mr. Wilson and other democrats that they might as well bid a long fare well to public life if thev persisted in their free trade ideas. They also told them that they had all the facts con cerning the organization of the Whitney syndicate, which has obtained options upon all of the Nova Scotia bituminous coal mines w ith the expectation ui mo nopolizing the trade of t'ie United States when the tariff on oreign coal was removed, and that the' would make public the full details, ro matter who was injured, if this tarifl was removed or lowered. This last statement was not pleasing reading at the white house, as it is well known that the Whitney syn dicate is largely composed of the men who contributed the money that made Mr. Cleveland's election possible. The nomination of William B. Horn blower, of New York to the vacancy in the United States supreme court is said to be in the nature of a repayment of certain personal obligations in which were Involved some very fat legal fees which Mr. Hornblower by reason of his connection with a large and wealthy life insurance company, threw in the way of Mr. Cleveland when lie was practicing law in New York several years ago. The ability of Mr. Horn blower Is unquestioned, but bis nomin tion is nevertheless very distasteful to the New York senators. Cas. A DESTRUCTIVE BLAZE Over One Million fortn of Property Destroyed. BUSINESS PORriOX OF ST. JOSEPH A Hundred Men Have Their Escape Cut Off, but Rescued by the Fire Department Kansas City, Sept. 25. A million dollar fire is reported in progress at St. Joseph, Mo. One entire business block has been consumed. The fire is still spreading. The water supply has given out. Townsend & Wyatt's big department store will be a total bss. Loss, 300, 000. The Commercial and Carberry blocks are going. It is spreading to the Ranier-Shoup Crockery Company, the Commercial bank block and C. B. F. France's building. The loss will aggre gate 11,000,000. Among the buildings destroyed were: Ransom, Garrett St Brewster, shoes ; B. F. Barnaby A Co., drngs ; S. S. Allen & Co., wholesale groceries; Daily News building. A rumor that five were killed by falling walls is denied by the police. Numbers were more or less seriously hurt. Over one hundred men were at work in Townsend & Wyatt's building when the flaraesjwere discovered. Their escape was cut off, but all were rescued by the fire department. The fire is be lieved now to be under control. The loss will be over $1,000,000. Again the Whipping Folk Fbederick, Md., Sept. 33. "Within 48 hours the sheriff will take you into the county jail, iron you to the whip ping post and inflict 39 lashes upon your back with the rawhide, as hard as he can lay it on." This sentence was meted out to Daniel Jones, a prominent armer of this county, Thursday by Judge McSherry, of the circuit court. Jones was, a month ago, convicted of a brutal assault upon his wife which was prompted by insane jealousy. The woman wag so severely injured that she was unable to appear In court. The sentence -created intense excitement. Jones will be ironed to the grim instru ment of torture, looking more like a crucifix than a whipping post, in the Frederick jail yard and publicly flogged. There's no appeal from this sentence under the old colonial law. The sen tence is regarded by many men as ex ceptionally severe. A Fiendish Deed. San Fhancihco, Sept, 24. One of the most fiendish deeds in the criminal history of the city was perpetuated hore tonight. Soon after midnight a dyna mite bomb was exploded in a water-front boarding-house filled with non-union sailors, resulting in the instant death of three inmates and the probable fatal in jury of seven more, while many sus tained less serious injuries. The terrific explosion occurred in a house on Main street between Howard and Folsom, kept by John Curtain. The house was filled with non-union suitors, and it was Curtain'scustom to secure berths for his patrons on ships employing non-union men. In this way he naturally incurred the enmity of the sailors' union. The llesult of a read. San Francisco, Sept. 24. The scene of yesterday's explosion has lost little of its horror, save that dismembered bodies of the victims are no louver among the ruins. Everywhere in the neighlxirhood are evidences of the terrific power til the explosion. Two apartments occupied the front of Curtin's boarding house. One was the office and bar, ami the other thedining room. Of these there is little left save a mass of splintered furni ture and woodwork, broken glass ar.d plas ter. Beneath the spot where the deadly power was released is a hole through the sidewalk over five feet in depth. Had the force of tbe explosion extended up ward in the same degree, the loss of life would have been appalling. A saloon and grocery next door were almost a wreck, and in the sailors' home across the street hardly an unbroken pane of glass remains. There seems to be but Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest IT. S. Gov't Report ADfiOLUTEIY PURE one theory regarding the origin of the fiendish crime that is, that it was the result of a long-standing feud between the Coast Seamen's Union and the non union sailors.
