The patriotic people of The Dalles ap

GIRL CARRIED OFF,
Frem Her Home
Procuresses.
Two
The Bendleton Tribune reports the
case of a pretty girl being persuaded by
procuresses to accompany them in Uma
tilla county. The case should serye as a
warning in Wasco county. The same
"agency" may soon have workers in
this vicinity : ' ,
Tbe adopted 18-year-old daughter of
Mrs. Bonnifov, who, though a quarter
blood Indian, is said to be much prettier
than many fall-blood white girls rated
as beauties, and who resides npon tbe
reservation, was inveigled from her
home early Saturday morning by two
female procuresses. These women spent
two days upon tbe reservation going
from family to family, and displaying
cheap and gaudy jewelry and colored
ribbons, which they took from a black
grip, in order to test tnesusceptiDiiity oi
the young women. It was not long be
fore tbe white settlers and tbe more in
telligent of the Indians became snspic
ious and made Agent Harper aware of
their fears. He acted promptly npon
the knowledge received and sent out
warning to different parts of the reser
vation, too late, however, to prevent the
one young woman from being carried off.
At daybreak Saturday morning Mrs.
Bonnifon missed the adopted girl and,
npon making inquiries, learned that she
had been seen in a wagon with two
women and a man. Her worst fears
were immediately aroused, and after
two hours spent in the untiring efforts
ascertain what had become of tbe
maiden, she was informed of the direc
tion taken and also of whose wagon bad
been engaged to carry tbe party away.
Frenzied, the poor woman saddled a
horse and started off alone in pursuit.
She traveled all day and until the night
was half spent, but upon reaching the
mountains, and hearing sufficient to con
vince her that she was not gaining upon
the fugitives, Mrs. Bennifon gave np the
chase in despair. However, she turned
her horse's head homeward without
thinking of rest, and early yesterday
morning was looking for the sheriff. He
was given a fall deseription of the two
procuresses and their victim and imme
diately the wires were buzzing the news
to several points. Everything possible
will be done to rescue tbe unfortunate
girl, but it is feared that she is now be
yond reach. Had tbe flight been re
ported early on Saturday there would
have been more hope.

Mr. Hume's Speech.
The Bl(t Shew.
At lianas on baturday, there was a
Woodmen picnic. A prize, bad been
offered for the quickest chopping of a
12-inch fir log, and J. A. Moran, tbe
Dayton contestant, seemed to be the
only entry. Nobody could be found to
enter tbe lists against him until finally,
rather than have the prize go by default
a Salem man consented to contest the
event. To the surprise and delight of
his friends, the Salem man outchopped
tbe Dayton Goliath, and ntterly dis-
comfitted the Tamhilliam Philistines,
Tbe David of the incident turned out to
be none other than President W. C,
Hawley, of Willamette university, who
was in attendance as orator of the day
The prize is a gold wedge, about three
inches long and one inch wide at the up

Mrs. Sharp's Sister Killed.
Mrs. E. F. Sharp left on the local train
this afternoon for Seattle, where she was
summoned by telegraph this morning to
attend the funeral of her sister, who was
killed in the Victoria disaster, ' an ac
count of which appears on onr fonrth
page. The Oregonian today reports the
death of Mrs. Dr. A. L. PoBt, who was
identified among the dead by her sister,
Miss Evelyn Farrally. The first name
should be Prevost, but the name of the
living sister is correct, hence the evi
dence is almost conclusive that the dead
woman is Mrs. Sharp's sifter.
A Query.
Mr. Editor: YVhv is it that the
evangelist gave way to an army owned
and controlled by a foreign general to
whom that army pays tribute on the
day set apart to honor the memory of
the defenders of our nation? Ia the old
saying of Gen. Pickney in the early part
of the century to be forgotten now?
"Millions for defense, but not one cent
fortribute7" An American.
Bond Bros.' stupendous aggregation
of great exhibitions will be with ns at
The Dalles on Thursday, June 4th
From all accounts, this mpdel combina
tion will be an important era in the
amusement annals of our community,
There are no words bnt praise wher
ever it has spread its tents, and it is
said to be a revelation in sight-seeing,
Presenting so much that is entirely new
and original, the press of the eaetern
cities is laden with panegyrics, and are
unanimous in placing it bead and
shoulders above and overwhelmingly
superior to all other shows. It Is said
hundreds attend Bond Bros. shows
dailv that are not in the habit of going
to circuseB.
Before you try anything else for tbe
blood take Simmons Liver Regulator,
It is the best blood medicine because it
is the best liver remedy. If your liver
is active and at work tbe blood will be
tbe best. Simmons Liver Regulator is
tbe best spring medicine. "I tell my
friends if they want to enjoy health and
happiness they ought to take Simmons
Liver Regulator." Mrs. R. W. Smith,

Hon. Wilson T. Hume's speech last
evening was a good one for the regular
nominees and the platform and princi
ples of tbe Republican party. The at
titude of Harvey Scott in the Oregonian
and its bolter candidate for congress,
Judge Northup, was shown .up in a
truer light than by any. other speaker
who has thus far addressed a Dalles au
dience. The platform of the Republi
can party in 1892, and again in 1894 (by
the way formoiated by Harvey Scott
himself) pledged the party to a bimetal
lie standard, recognizing silver and gold
equally, and maintaining both metals
on an equality. This was similar to the
Minneapolis platform.
After tbe election of 1S92 which re
suited in electing Cleveland the Ore
gonian published an editorial predicting
the bard times that would follow, and
representing the reason therefor. The
reason given was solely the abandon
ment of tbe principle of protection. . No
prophecy was ever truer. Now the Ore
gonian claims the money proposition is
responsible for the hard times and that
tbey will continue until the principle of
sound money is established. As for Mr,
Hume, he claimed to more truly repre
sent the Republican party by the prin
ciples of protection and bimetallism.
Taking up Mr. Noithnp'a candidacy,
he called attention to his statement that
he had consented to the use of his name
by bis friends, who wanted a represents
tive of their views on the money qo.es
tion. Mr. Hume reviewed the charac
ter of many of those friends who signed
tbe petition, and if a man is to be judged
by the company he keeps, Mr. Nirthup
is more or less smirched. The first man
who came under the scrutiny of Mr,
Hume was a mnrderer, the second was
No. 11,711 of San Quentin, who bad just
completed a term in the penitentiary.
Two or three more were forgers and
thieves, half a dozen were proprietors oi
third-class saloons and dives in Port
land. And these were the men to whom.
Northup would be under obligation if
he were elected. Mr. Home closed with
an appeal to vote tbe straight tfeket
throughout.
The speaker was introduced by Mr. E.
Jacobsen, of this city, who prefaced tbe
introdnction of Mr. Hume by a few
timely and well -chosen remarks con
cerning tbe need of the complete success
of the regular Republican ticket. The
speech of Mr. Jacobsen was heartily ap
plauded.

The situation is rather a peculiar one. It
seems that in 1882, on the death of Mrs.
Purser, the homestead was sold for $3,
000. At the time Mrs. Purser, not need
ing the money, divided it among the five
heirs, giving each $600, for which each
executed a note agreeing to pay $48 per
year to Mrs. Purser until her death, at
which time the notes would be cancelled.
The matter came trp today in tbe form
of an objection to tbe sale of the real es
tate, one of the heirs claiming to have
paid all his portion and that the others
bad not, thus seeking to have the un
paid sums declared a portion of the es
tate. Tbe Congo Oil Bfedlclme.
The Congo Oil Medicine Co. is giving
entertainments under a large tent In this
city. They are here to advertise and !
sell the greatest medicine ever offered to
an afflicted public. Wonderful cures
have been effected; cases that have
baffled tbe skill of the most skillful phy
sicians. One hundred dollars will be
paid for any case they undertake and
fail to cure. If ypur case is incurable
they will tell you so. They want cases
that have been declared incurable by
other physicians. Yon may go to them
on crutches or canes ; yon may be brought
to them on a stretcher, but they guaran
tee that yon will walk away from their
tent of your own free will, with no as
sistance from others. ' The Congo Oil is
justly styled the marvel of the age in
curing rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia
and all pains that can be cured by an
external application. All patients
treated free of charge; no payment of
any kind asked. They want living tes
timony to back up their statement that
the Congo Oil is a marvellous medicine.
Go and see them. They will remain
here until June 3d, and no longer.

after thoroughly testing a dozen different

that the VICTOR is the BEST.
it is mechanically perfect, and while not
TOO LIGHT for our bad roads, yet it

it has a tire that, while light, is almost
