Corbett and Fitzsimmons are looking

counters in the ring is inoperative.

a ride on the train from Portland, was

Inland Star to A. Watt. It will now
enter the river as a sailing yacht, and

boat so far has had the reputation of
being a Jonah.

the Kelsay well has been temporary dis
continued, after boring down 134 feet.
' The late -cold snap did no material in
jury around The Dalles.' The earliest
Btrawberry blossoms were killed and a
slight effect is apparent on. the early
fruit trees, but the latter have jet all
the blossoms the trees are capable of de
veloping into fruit, and in consequence a
full crop seems assured.
Salmon fishing will begin tomorrow.
The water is not high enough at present
for the stationary wheels, but three
ecows now on the river bank near The
Dalles will commence fishing. One is
owned by Chas. Hill, one by "Dad"
Davis and one owned jointly by Albert

situations and catchy specialties.
Mr. A. Nichols came very near a
frightful death at Keaton's sawmill on
Mountain creek a few days ago. He
was working around the machinery
when some of his clothing caught on a
shaft and he was whirled around sev
eral times before the belt, which was

been open to criticism.

ing that Philip Heppner committed sui
cide by shooting himself with a pistol at
the warehouse , in Arlington about 9
o'clock this morning.
He had locked the door of the office,
pulled down the curtains, and standing
in front of the glass, placed the muzzle

"J. B. Weaver, Colfax, Iowa."
This was the signature by Gen. Wea
ver which was made on the register at
the Columbia hotel when The Dalles
Portland local pulled into town today,
He was met by A. L. Reese and
Chronicle reporter, who upon being
introduced, beaded the reporter off by
saying he never permitted himself to be
interviewed. When asked his reason
be replied that be was frequently mis
quoted, or else the reporter couldn't
understand what he said. He stated
however, that the state would be thor
oughly canvassed this year by Populist
speakers.
Gen. Weaver, who was the Populist
candidate for president of the United
States four years ago, has a very vener
able appearance, his hair and mustache
having become silvered during the many
campaigns in whicn he has variously
figured. He dresses faultlessly in
well-fitting suit of black, his carriage is
erect and hiB walk sprightly. After
speakiug tonight on Populist issues at
the Baldwin, he will proceed to Rufus

Early Morning Fire.
Fire broke out about 3 :30 o'clock this
morning in a bawdy house on the alley
back of Marders & Michel bach's saloon.
The fire was caused from a cigarette
which caught the lace curtains and
quickly communicated itself to the
whole room. The fire bell was prompt
ly rung, but some men running in the
house quickly extinguished the flames
by pulling down the curtains and throw
ing the burning furniture out of the
house. A few gallons of water did the
rest. The Jackson Engine company and
the Columbia Hose each got their carts
out within five minutes after the alarm
bell started ringing, but happily there
waa no occasion for their services.

Fossil Journal.
Dr. Howard was called twice to Lost
Valley this week to dress the wounds of
little Banna Knox, who was severely
burnt through her clothes taking fire
from a burning pile of rubbish two
weeks ago. He found the little girl in a
bad state, great pieces of flesh coming off
her body with the bandages. Ever since
the accident, the child has had to be
nursed incessantly, night and day, her
sufferings being intense. The doctor ad
vised the parents to bring their daughter
to town, bo' that he could perform the
operation of skin grafting, by means of
which he thinks he can save ilie child,
and it is expected a relay of men will ar
rive in a day or two with the little suf
ferer on a litter.

Salmon, returned home thia morning
after a short business trip in this sec
tion. He has taken orders among the
cannerymen for 30,000 fish boxes, prin
cipally with Messrs. Seufert, Taffe and
Herrick. This looks very much as if
those gentlemen intended to catch some
salmon. Mr. Lauderbach. informed a
reporter that the company have on
hand now for eastern shipment a half
million feet of white pine lumber of the
Mt. Adams variety, a very fine grade of
wood used for nmshing material.

Death of Mrs. Douglas at Dtitar.
Mrs. Clara Luella Douglass, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Kirkham of Dufur died
at this place on the night of April 5th
after a lingering illness of about two
years, the cause of death being an affec
tion of the heart.
Mrs. Douglass was a native of Madison
Fails, Yolo county, Calif., and has been
a resident of Wasco county and thia vi
cinity for fifteen years. She was mar
ried in this county to A. J. Douglass in
1686 and was at time of death 29 years
of age. Mrs. Douglass was well known
and beloved by a large circle of friends
and leaves three small children (two
girls and one boy) to mourn her loss.
rhe funeral took place yesterday from
the M. E. church and was in charge of
the A. O. U. W., of which organization
Mr. Douglass is an honored member.
Mr. A. J. Brigham performed the fu
neral ceremonies, and in an able and
impressive manner reviewed the life of
the deceased and offered the consola
tions of religion to the bereaved family
and friends. The remains were followed
to the grave by a large concourse of
friends and relations, and were interred
n the family plat at the Odd Fellows'
cemetery, north of Dufur. A.

believes that the Republican and Demo
cratic parties are on the verge of disin
tegration, comparing their present
strength with the strength of the Whig
party of forty years ago, which "died in
power from the -head downward." An
issue arose for wniun it was not pre
pared the slavery question which
split alike the Whig and Democratic
parties, giving birth to the Republican
party a party composed of free-soilers.
History is now repeating itself, claimed
Mr. Weaver. An issue has arisen which
divides both old parties, and there is no
test of membership. There are -free
silver Republicans and Democrats and
there are single gold standard adherents
in both parties. J. nereis hence occa
sion for a new party that will accept the
free silver issue, which will gather
strength from all parties. Mr. A. L.
Reese introduced the speaker, and closed
the evening with a collection of free
silver.

The Baldwin opera house was filled
last night with citizens of all parties to
hear Gen. J. B. Weaver on political is
sues. He is a very pleasing speaker,
and has a most forcible and convincing
style of oratory. His Populist friends,
who sat well up in front, were especially
delighted, and at times the entire bouse
cheered the veteran campaigner. Gen.
Weaver has a faculty of pointing an ar
gument with an epigram, a question or
a jest, and following it up with a more
extended process of logic. The general

populist platform. He knew, he said,
