Two of the hobos who were confined
in the city jail were out at work ye'ster
day near the railroad track under the

freight made its appearance along in the
afternoon, and when the locomotive was
within about fifty feet they suddenly
grabbed their coats and made a dash
across the track, thus putting the
swiftly-moving train between them and
Mr. Joles. They then swung neatly in
under the car to the trucks . and waved
him a last adieu.

Murchie's team of bay horees, attached
to a dirt wagon, ran away this morning
on Second street from near Fisher's gro
cery. The driver headed the horses
toward the brewery grade and up a steep
hillside, which stopped them. Every

Weather and Craps.
The following is taken from the bul
letin issued by B. S. Pague, director of
the Oregon climate and crop service,' and
appertains to Eastern Oregon :
"The soil is unusually well soaked and
tbe farmers are pleased over the pros
pects for the year's crops. As a rule but
little rain falls over Eastern Oregon after.
May 1st, and the year's crops are di
rectly dependent upon the moisture in
the soil and the occasional showers of
May and June; should the Boil not be
moist on May 1st, then it requires good
rains in May and June for good or aver
age crbps, but when the soil is moist, as
it is this year, then light or occasional
rains are sufficient to- produce good
crops.
"Fkuit In the Columbia river valley
the fruit shows but little injury from the
frosts. " Tbe correspondents as a rule re
port no material or general injury. The
fruit trees have been filled with bloom
and the embryo fruit is now setting. To
the south of the mountains the fruit is
just coming into bloom, and the weather
for the next few weeks will determine
the crop. One thing 1b certain, there
has been less injury to the fruit in East
ern Oregon than in the' western portion
of the state.
Stock The rains have caused the
grass to grow, and -excellent food for
eattle is at - hand. - The stock wintered
well nnd are now in eood condition.
Lambini: is nearly over. In the section
where the snow was heavy several weeks
ago some loss to the lambs resulted, bnt
as a whole the lambing season was suc
cessful, and but little loss resulted
fully nine-tenths of all lambs born wqre
saved." -

NOTED EVANGELIST COMING,
A Proposition to Hold Union Services
for Ten Days.
Bev. J. H. Wood has been in corres
pondence with a noted evangelist who
has been touring' the country for th
past twelvo years, Chas. N.-Crittentorl
by name, with the object in-view, of se
curing him for The D;!ls. It was only
by prompt and energetic work that
promise was given Mr. Wood, by Mr.
Crittenton to come' to The Dalle for ten
days,, as Portland was working heroic
ally to secure him, and this was con tin
gent upon all the churches of the city
uniting in a union service, and foregoing
for that length of time all other meetings
and entertainments.
Mr. Crittenton was a New York mil
lionaire, who became so much interest
ed in gospel work that be gave up his
business to engage in it. .The Florence
mission of New York City waa estab
lished and endowed by Mr. Crittenton
This is a home Tor fallen women, and
the mission bears the name of his daugh
ter. It is a great power for good in New
York, and reaches and- benefits all
classes of people. For twelve years
Mr: Crittenton has been; oa the road
He has a car fitted up, which is known
as the "gospel car." Two other evan
gelistfl and a good vocalist to lead the
singing accompany him. Meetings are
now going on in La Grande. May 12th
is the date proposed for the beginning of
the ten days' session in The Dalles,
The other ministers, bo far as known
have fallen in readily with the plan for
a grand union meeting, and arrange
ments will tie made to secure a proper
hall for the meetings.
JDeatli of Samnel Driver. .
Samuel Driver died at 5 o'clock last
evening, after a short illness at tbe ad
vanced age of 82 years.
Mr. Driver was the father of Mr. Thos
Driver,' our present sheriff. Other's
Of
his sons are Isaac, the eldest, Brenton
Frank, Bruce, Henry and Edward. The
last named lives in the Malheur country
and is so far inland that he does not yet
know of his father's death. The other
sons were all present at his bedside, as
were also .their wives with the exception
of Mrs. Thos. Driver. The Bev. I. D,
Driver is a brothei of Samuel -Driver,
The deceased was born near Fort Wayne
Indiana. His marriage also occurred at
Fort Wayne. He has been in Oregon
about 45 years, settling in Douglas
county. For tbe last 15 years he bas
been at Wamic in Wasco county. The
cause of bis death was an attack of la
grippe, with a tendency to pneumonia.
His death was unexpected, as fie seemed
better till a day or two before bis death
when the trouble returned with fatal
result.
The fnneral will occur at Wamic to
morrow., Mr. xiugn (jourlay has bttn
invited to deliver .the funeral address
and he will accept.
Fnbllc School Attendance.
Tbe
figures which
- "x.
follow show the
rate of increase in tbe number of public
school children for tbe years named. If
the' ratio of increase is kept np for an
other year our schools .will be over
crowded. It is a recognized fact that
instruction deteriorates when the num
ber of pupils increases over forty-five
for one teacher. While room may be
found for them, and the classes may be
enlarged, fifty-five pupils will be more
imperfectly taught than forty-five. An
increase of school room Is therefore one
of the questions which will come up
before our citizens in the near future.
The figures are as follows :

Should this rate of increase continue,
what will be done for room next school
year?
The schools will close Friday, May

place Saturday evening, May 23d.
(
mora About Cool.
A specimen of tbe coal found last
summer by Mr. Gus Hansen, a fisher
man, is on exhibition. at Ths Chronicle
office. It was found below Lyle on tbe
Washington side and was taken from a
six foot vein.
Mr. A. Winans tells of tbe existence
of a two foot vein of coal on his ranch
three miles from the city, which shows
on the river bank when tbe river is at
tbe lowest stage. He has often thought
of drilling down to strike the vein at a
suitable distance from the river and may
do so the coming summer.
There is now scarcely a doubt that
coal exists in immense quantities some
hundreds of feet below us, and it only
remains for intelligent effort to develop
some valuable coal mineB. The circum
stances of outcroppings and direction of
veins are to be taken into consideration,.
so that a drill may, with considerable
certainty, strike the coal bed. It will
take some money, and tbe work must be
done under tbe direction oi an experi
enced miner, but a future awaits the
man who will take hold of the matter in
earnest, and incidentally the whole
community will be benefitted.

A COLORED WOMAN TRAMP.
An
Old A on tie -Who Has Been Coming
from Baton Bongs Four Tears. . .
A colored woman tramp is approach
ing The Dalles, and is seen quite often
by the railroad, boys running between
here and Umatilla. She is trudging on
ward to her unknown journey, except,
as she says, she is bound for California.
The old auntie is something of a curios
ity, as she has been on the journey for
fonr years. She bails from Baton
Bouge, La. ' She has some little books
which contain autographs from many,
together with the names of the places
where she has been. Unlike Schlatter,
she does not claim to be a direct lineal
descendant of Christ, though on a simi
lar mission "to preach de name of de
Lawd." In speaking to one the boys
she said : '
"Bress yor soul, honey, I'se on my
way to Californy, and de Lawd smiles on
me kase I'se gettin' 'long fine. I se
been four year comin ,' de. Lawd bress
you." The question was asked, "Why
are you traveling this way?"
"Kase de Lawd said, take up thy feet
and walk. Take thy feet out ob de
mire and ' go and preach my name. Go
to de fo' coners ob de earf and tell de
people ob his comin' and ob his name,'
"Would you nor like to ride in the
cars?"
."No, oh no, bress your sol, chile, de
Lawd said you mus walk, not ride."
: She will probably reach The Dalles
about Wednesday, as she left Arlington
Saturday evening, and since she does
not travel on Sundays, it will take her
about three days to reach The Dalles at
the rate she has been progressing.
Some Good Suggestion.
Washington, April 24. Senator Mc
Bride has secured a provision appropri
ating $50,000 for continuing the work at
the Cascades, $20,000 of which shall be
used for extending the walls of the lock
so that it may be opened for commerce
The appropriotion is intended to secure
the banding of another lock.
Editor Chronicle The above clip
ping from tbe Uregonian of April 26th
shows that our delegation is at work and
have not forgotten us; and we should be
thankiul for all favors, large or small
but for the sake of suffering humanity
don't try and build another lock. The
two that are started have been in pro
gress for twenty-six years, and we can't
wait eighteen years more. But I would
suggest to Senator McBride that If we
must have another one, to try and se
cure the right of way on the other side
of the river and work them bo as to sup
ply Day tiros, and all U. S. engineers
who are out of employment.
I would like to call the attention of
Capt. Fisk to the contract of the Day
Bros, and ask if it is completed. Please
let us know what is lacking. I ask this
to find out what all of these men now
at work are doing.. Last fall I visited
the locks and there were about 75 or
100 men at work and I was informed
that they were so nearly completed that
the main force had been discharged.
Certainly there can be no complaint of
high water: yet what is the matter?
The people here and above wish to
know.
Would it not be better for Senator
Mc Bride to ask for a committee of in
vestigation, not of officials, but of prac
tical engineers, outside of government

taining', embellished with illustration
and anecdote.-. He charged that consid
erable corruption had found its way in
to both old parties, but very little in
tbe Populist ' party. : Tbe money ques
tion occupied tbe greatest share of his
time. He first . spoke of paper money
being . the best in the world, and later
made the same" assertion as regarding
silver. He received respectful attention
and without doubt pleased bis audience.

An Old Soldier's
From the
Florence, the eory little suburb to the
north of Omaha is agog with excitement
The older generation, of which the popula
tion of Florence is mostly composed, are ap
parently getting young again, and vie with
tbe younger generation in feats of strength
and acrility.
A World-Hercld reporter was attracted by
the evidence of renewed activity of some of
, the older inhabitants of the village and en
quired the cause. Mr. Andrew Jt inkenkeler,
who was a member of Company B of the
First Iowa Volunteers during the war, made
trie following explanation or nis strong,
healthy appearance, when for years he had
been crippled or compelled to lie on a sick
bed with a complication of disorders result
ing from the hardships which he waa com
pelled Jo endure. He said:
"In July, 1866, while my company was
on the march through to Austin. Texas, mt
leg troubled me considerably. But I thought
that it was nothing Dut a recurrence ot the
effects of a sprain I had received during the
war by my horse falling on me, but the
pain soon increased to such a degree that I
was compelled to ask for medical treatment
The surgeons pronounced the cause rheu
matism and that of the worst order. At
Alexander, Louisiana. I was in such a weak,
ened condition, thoucrh I continued to march
with my company, that the excessive heat
overcame me and T was sunstruck. remain,
ing unconscious several hours. As a result
of the sunstroke. I was unable and have
ever since been unable to remain in the
glare of the sun, even on a moderately cool
aay, ana every summer i nave Deen over
come by the heat so that I would be com
pelled to give up my work. The feeling
that l experienced was a son ot Dearing
down on my head, as though a heavy body
was resting there and at times it would
come quickly, like a blow and I would un
consciously stoop as though involuntarily
avoid in? an obstacle presenting itself to my
head. This bearing down gradually grew
into a steady pain which increased until it
seemed as though my head would burst.
" There was also a constant ringing in my
ears rendering it very difficult for me to
hear. Coupled with this, palpitation oft
the heart caused me great trouble, and this
grew so that the slightest shock to my
nerves from a slight noise or other disturb
ance would set my heart to thumping against
ray chest and I would trembje from head to
foot as though I had St Vitus' dance. Three
times, from slight circumstances the palpi
tation was so great that I fainted and re
mained unconscious for from seven to ten
hours, at which times ray relatives de
spaired of my life. In addition to .this the
rheumatism, which had been felt only in
my ankle, began to work up my right leg
until the whole right side of my body was
afected by it, so much indeed, that my
head was drawn down to my right shoulder.
I was totally unfit for work, lost my strength
and flesh. I tried every, physician who was
reported to me to have a special knowledge
of my case, but after long trials, I only ex
perienced temporary relief from the pain.
I was confined to my bed during the greater
part of the cold weather of each year.
" For twenty-eight years I have consulted
physicians and taken their prescriptions
without deriving any material benefit My
ailments increased in intensity until I was
assured that there was no hope for me. Dur
ing last year I went into tbe butcher busi
ness, but the dampness from the ice used
increased my rheumatic pains to such an
extent that j was not omy compelled to
quit the business, but was confined to my
bouse and bed for nearly six months.

man again, when in November last I read in

been entirely cured from the ailments from
which I was suffering, by the use of Dr.Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Thought
the name did not at first strike my fancy, on.
November 28, 1 purchased a box. In a week
I was astonished to know that I felt better
than I had for six' months past, and befbrw
I had used half a box I was sure that I had
found a cure for my ailments. The ringing
in my ears began to lessen in volume and
finally left me. That was the first effect I
experienced aside from an increased appe
tite. The pain from the rheumatism grad
ually left me, so that within one week from
the time I took my first pill I was able to
sit up in bed. On January 1st I was able
to go out and walk around a little. The
palpitations of my heart entirely ceased.
On Februrary 9, 1 was so thoroughly cured,
that I accepted a position as night watch
man in the Forest Lawn Cemetery, remain
ing out of doors from 6 P. M. until 6 A. M.
I have gained in weight from 144 pounds
which I weighed in November last, to 172
pounds which I weigh now.
"The rheumatism has entirely left me,
except when I have too much walking ta
do during the night, my right ankle paina
me a little, but only when I do too much
walking. I now feel like a well roan and
am good for forty years yet. I am fifty
years old and have resided in Florence ninet
years, having come to Omaha in 1881. I
have recommended the pills to nine people)
in this village all of whom are taking them
and experiencing the same beneficial effects
which I have received. I used nine boxes)
of the pills." . . i
Mr. K. W. Cowan, keener of a enteral
store at Florence was also seen by the re
porter. Mr. Cowan is also an old soldier,
having been a member of the 144th Infan
try, Company C, and the latter of Company 1C
of the First Minnesota Cavalry. Mr. Cowan
stated that he contracted chronic diarrhoea.
while he was m the army and has never
until within the piist few months, received
any relief. He stated that he had taken
two boxes of the wonderful Pink Pills and
was now almost thoroughly cured, so mucla
so in fact that he has discontinued their use.
He was also paralyzed in the left side of his
face, the month being drawn up at the left
corner, and be was entirely unable to more)
the muscles of his forehead or to close his '
left eye. He states that he believes it im
owing to the nse of the Pink Pills that he
has recovered the use of his left eye-lid,,
which, prior to his taking the pills, had
been fastened down by a physician so that
the sight would not be destroyed from thee
eye filling with dust, and ascribes the re
covery to the Pink Pills. He has gained
fifteen pounds in weight since last October,
