A Di3 if THE D AISLES, WASCO COUNTY, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1896. VOL. VI. NUMBER 3. I II awn ; i SV ' DR. JAMIESON SHOT A Drumhead Courtmartial . Held Today. PAID HIS LIFE FOR HIS FOLLY A SECOND BAND OF INVADERS 'Will Find BritisU Regular Opposing Them Emperor William Cob gratules President Krueger on His Victory. Londen, Jan. 3. The Evening Stand ard says it is rumored that Dr. Jamison V was ehot today after a drumhead court martial. " '. ( Followers Will Be Released. Pbetobia, Jan. 3. It Is reported that Dr. Jamieson will be tried bv court martial, and his followers will be re leased. The Black Watch Highlanders have been ordered to stop by force the advance of a eecond ' body ot the British Chart-J ered Company's troops in the Trans vaal. Wllhelm to Kruger. Berlin, Jan. 3. Emperor William to day telegraphed President Krueger as follows : "I express mv sincere congrat ulations that with your own people, and without appealing to the help of friend ly, powers, you have succeeded, by your own energetic action, against the armed bands which invaded your country as disturbers of the peace, and have thus been enabled to restore peace and safe guards in the defense of the country against attackB trom outside." ENGLAND NOT RESPONSIBLE. The Advance Into the Transvaal Un authorized. - Chicago, Jan 3, J. B. Weinberg, of Johannesburg, who is at presensojourn- ing in this city, says that the. invasion of the Transvaal was in no sense an effort on the part of England to annex the celebrated South African gold fields. The people of Johannesburg would fight to a man against coming under British rule. "When the Transvaal was unknown for its riches in gold and diamonds," Mr. Weinberg said, "the laws concern ing the naturalization of newcomers were the same as in the Orange Free State, and very similar to naturalization laws of the United States. When the country began to fill up with miners and people interested in the gold and diamond in dnstries, the Boers changed the laws and made it impossible for anyone to become naturalized. Then a high taritt was placed on everything the Boers were not likely to use. Particular enmity was shown to the mining industries. In this way the republic succeeded in levying fully 90 per cent of the taxes on the new population,' which was denied citizen ship, in order to prevent newcomers from making an effort to equalize the burdens. "It was five years ago that the nation al union, to remove these gross abuses, was organized at Johanesbnrg. It took in its membership all the more progres sive mining men, many of whom were Americans and Germans, who would bit ' terly oppose any attempt on the part of England to annex the countrv. Even the British residents would oppose any scheme for the country's subjugation In my opinion the national union has given np peaceful means for ' obtaining reform, and is calling Dr. Jamieson to help its members overturn the republic. . After trying all these five years to secure some concessions from the Boers, the national union has doubtless concluded they will never make any headway until the old government is overturned. That, it seems to me, is all that Dr. Jamieson 'a invasion means. He has evidently de termined that" he will aid the foreign element in upsetting the Boer govern ment, and the next that will be heard of it will be its accomplishment. The movement has been on foot for some time, and the doctor will not stop half wav when once Btarted." ADMISSION OF UTAH. President Cleveland to Issue th Nee essary Proclamation Today. , Washington, Jan. 3.

Oneff Capt. J.W. Lewis' friends in Kentucky has been heard from in a manner very gratifying to that gentle man. At the recent meeting of the G. A. K. in J&.entucKv, uoi. it. ai. is-eny was. elected department commander of the Kentucky division, and one of his first acts was to appoint Captain Lewis an aid-de-camp on his staff, an honor much appreciated because it came un sought. Colonel Kelly and Captain Lewis served together during ths war, and the following clipping from yester day's Oregonian shows the possible honors in store for the distinguished Kentuckian : i Among the many prominent Republi cans who have been named as possible candidates for the United States senator ship from Kentucky, is Colonel, R. M. Kelly, the editor-in-chief of the Louis ville Commercial. Colonel Kellv is one of the brainiest men in the Republican party in Kentucky, and possibly the best posted on national affaire. His election to the position of department commander of the Kentucky division of the G. A. Pi. attests to bis popularity, and there are hundreds of his comrades anxious to have him enter the senatorial race and be elected to that position. Mr. Smith French brought to The Chbonicle office today a sample of the Kaffir corn, which is creating something of a stir in the agricultural world. This corn is said to be well suited for dry cli mates and to not only provide good feed for horses and cattle, but to be ground into flour, from which excellent bread can be made. Tomorrow The Chbon icle will publish an article upon the subject of the Kaffir corn. The subject is one of real interest to the farmers of Eastern Oregon. Mr. D. M. French, who leaves Wednesday (o attend a meet ing of the regents of the State Agricul tural school, will ask that experiments be tried in growing Kaffir tTsee whether it will justify all that has been said about it. 2.

Editor Chronicle : Sir: Not seeing anything in your paper of late regarding the weal or woe of this community, I thought a few items might be" of interest. We are still on top that is. on top of the snow. Our firstsnow came on De cember 2d, to the depth of one foot, and laid on about two weeksand as the ground was not frozen, it got the full benefit of the moisture. But on the 18th it snowed again to the depth of fifteen inches, making a total snow faU of twenty-seven inches up to date, but it is now thawing and is about all gone. ' Stock of all kinds is doing well at present, bnt if the winter should last until the first of March feed will be very scarce. We have not had a boom in this vi cinity, but a"(steady growth. There have been about seven claims taken up heie this season and there is still room for some more. There is some talk of sinking several artesian wells In this settlement. Then with a plenty of water and our good soil, Fair View will be the garden spot of Wasco county. If .the honorable county court . will grant us a road just where we want it we will be under many obligations tot the same. . We met at the school house on Christ mas eve and had an enjoyable time. From a well laden tree old Santa Claus delivered presents to each of those pres entabout ninety-six in number. There was a well-organized program,, consist ing ot dialogues, recitations, vocal and instrumental music, all Of which was excellent in a - manner that reflected credit on the Fair View local talent.

When the Re publicans get in full power again and we get good prices for our produce, then James will soon grow rich.

Leo Rondaugh is killing some fine hogs today, which he puts on the Dalles market at $3.70 per cwk. The wheat that was sown in the fall is looking' well, and bids fair, to make a good crop. There is plenty of stock hogs on tbe ridge, but there is no market for them I. guess that Cleveland got away with tbe hogs, as well as the sheep.

NEW-STATE' OF UTAH Inaugural Ceremonies Held at Salt Lake. THE CITY CROWDED WITH PEOPLE Chief Justice Zane Administered the Oath of Office to Oorernor Wells and Other Officials Gov ernor's Address-. Salt Lake, Jan. 6. Another state has been added to the American Union, and the rights of self-government have been extended to a quarter of a million of in dustrious, law-abiding and intelligent people. The acquisition of these long sought rights causes universal joy among all classes. The oath of office was administered to the state officials of Utah at noon today, and the new state, with her vast mineral wealth, great railway systems, agricult ural resources, churches and institu tion's of learning, starts off with the pro mise of a bright and glorious future., Among those who took part in the cere monies were many of the old pioneers of 1857,. who faced the, privations -and dangers of frontier life to lay the founda tion of this great common-wealth. - The city was crowded with people from all parts of the state. Acting-Governor Richards had, by proclamation, declared the day a holiday. AH business was suspended-and the buildings along the principal streets were decorated with the national colors. The day 'was ushered in by the ringing of bells and the sound ing of all the steam whistles in the city. - After marching through .the principal streets the procession reached the Taber nacle at 12'o'clock, where, an' immense crowd was waiting for tbe inaugural ceremonies. The g'reat building had been beautifully decorated "for the occa sion. Acting Governor Richards,- as master of ceremonies, called the house to order, and prayer was offered by WiU ford Woodruff, pesident of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He addressed the creator as' the God of nations and the Father of all men. He acknowledged the Lord's hand in the liberty which had tftme to , Utah, and also in the wonderful transfiguration, of this land, now teeming with plenty and abundance. He prayed for the welfare 8f the nation,' to which Utah will be ever loyal, and for the prevalence of jus tice mercy, truth and peace throughout this land, and that it maybe extended to all .the earth, until every nation re joices iu fraternal union and universal brotherhood, And every soul is free to worship as it sees fit and to exercise the fullest liberty in every, sense which does not encroach npon the liberty of others. After the prayer tbe "Star Spangled Bancer" was rendered by a chorus of 1000 voices", under the direction of Pre fassor Stevens. . After this the proclamation by the president of the United States granting statehood was - read by ex-Delegate Josepn Rawlins. , The oath of office was administrated to the governor and state officers by Chief Justice Zane, of the supreme court of the state. Governor Wells then delivered his in augural address. : ' WESTERN KANSAS BCKNINQ Newspaper Bead by ihe , Mght of the Fire Fifteen Miles Away. . Wichita, Kan., Jan. 6-. There are probably two counties in Western Kan sas covered by fire." Tonight lurid light was seen in tbe eky, observable simult aneously at Pueblo, Colo., and vchita, a distance of 500 miles. The supposition is that there are two immense praire fires in Kansas, a distance of about 150 miles apart. The Eagle, has reports from 19 towns, which indicate the larg est fire to be in Kiowa county, and that it is of vast proportions. - Haviland is the nearest station which can be reached and the agent says the nearest fringe of blaze is probably 15 miles away, but so powerful that a newspaper can be read by its light in his town. At St. John Stafford county, the people were panic stricken, as the fire is sweeping in their Highest of all in Leavening Power. i . direction before a strong wind. - ' Many farms have been abandoned for years, and the fire is feeding on tbe rank grass, sunflowers and dead hedges. ' . St. Jobn people think that the loss of property and life of man and; beast will be appalling. it is impo88iDiQ to oDtam details to night, as operations on the Wichita & Western road were recently, abandoned in that section of the country, and there are no operators at the stationasto report the disasters of the fire. , ' , HAVANA HAS FALLIX.

' - The Wheat "Situation. The first of the year finds the wheat situation not meeting expectations, The expected high prices have not come nor cant be said that the indications are bright, at the present, of any im mediate rise, While it is true that both buyers and. sellers are disappointed at the way things are going, yet it's early in the .fight and a month- or two amy see a difference. A European war, .while it would mean misery on the other side of -the Atlantic, would be a blessing to the American farmer. The following, taken from the Commercial Review, gives an intelligent view of the situation in Port- mna : . Five months of the present cereal year have passed and txporters have die- ' patched fortv-three vessels, containim; 3,533,721 bushels of wheat and 100,908 barrels of flour to European ports', and there is still one-half of the present crop in the country. This does not include China and tvin Francisco shipments The obstinacy of holders has been clearly . shown when wheat was selling at 54c . per bushel, a great many unloaded tfieir holdings, the majority held on for higher prices; at that time we stated, that the exporters here were paying all the stuff was worth, and we were accuced cf standing ' in with them. Now Walla Walla wheat is worth about 50c, and possibly some could get as much as 51c for good round lots, and the prospect for higher prices seems dim. From the pres ent outlook ot the situation we would not be surprised to see prices go still lower. There is nothing as yet to make the same advance, though earlier in tbe season we bad hopes that prices would be firmer by the first of the year. The out look then was better, and we end our selves mistaken, with many others. As formerly stated in these columns, ex porters had all the wheat for loading re- , quirements to Jan. 1, they saw no ne cessity to increase their bids for wheat, and that by the turn of the . year ' this port would be fully cleaned up with engaged ships, our predictions have proved true: tbe ships now ir port are ' all finishing, and exporters are not in need of any wheat for the present, and "' what ships are likely to arrive will have ' their wants quicklv filled. Tonnage due '" is very small, ami what should arrive in Januarv and rebruarv will receive Prompt dispatch. XUD mm ftcio ucic nullum kuo ncch have been in tbe same condition as the eastern markets, dull and lifeless, with very little doing, and no prospect lor betterment in the near future. Ship- . pers are quoting Walla Wallaat 49(350, . valley 53c per bushel. Millers are pay ing 51 and 54c respectively for the same. When persons are weak and 'languid from sickness or overwork, feel debiliit- ated and depressed, it is an indication that the blood is out of order, and they need help, to throw off the miserable feeling? The best remedy for this pur pose is Dr. J. H.
