Johnson came up from As toria yesterday to spend Decoration Day in the city, when she will leave for a visit with her parents in Columbus The Regulator left this morning with- flags flying at half mast, in honor of the - dead heroes, whose comrades will today strew flowers over their graves all over the land. A fierce wind is blowing up the river today, which makes the river seem higher than it is. It has raised about a foot in the past twenty-four hoars, as" nearly as can be ascertained. The jnry in the Snipes case brought in a verdict at 11 :30 this morning as fol lows: We, the jury, find defendant guilty of simple assault, and recommend him to the mercy of the court. Monday's Daily. Reserved tickets for Milton and Doilie Nobles are now on sale at Snipes & Kinersly's drug store. Some one towed up 8 raft of timbers last evening, but daring the night it broke loose and drifted down the river again. . The event of the season. The advent of Bond Brothers' World's Best Shows here Thursday, June 4th. Eastern pa pers pronounce the Bond Brothers' Shows the best ever organized. The big ehpws will be at The Dalles on Thursday, June 4th. : . The total average daily attendance of The -Dalles public schools for the last quarter (5 weeks) ending May 22, '96, - was 669; for the similar period May '95 the total was 499, a gaiu of 70 in favor of the present year. As indicative of the permanent nature of the growth it should be compared with the fact that attendance of May '95 was 120 greater than the attendance of any similar period in the previous history of the district. The ministers of the city occupie their several pulpits yesterday morning and the usual Sunday school sessions were held. In the afternon union ser vice was held at the armory, and in the evening at the same place Mr. Carpen ter preached to a large audience, taking or his subject the parable of the wise and foolish virgins. Mr. Wallace sang in a most impressive manner the solo "Beckoning Hnds," which caused a hush to come over the audience remark able for such a large crowd. The meet ings will close tomorrow night. Mr. Ira Rowland, who lives near Moeier, bad a narrow escape from drowning Saturday. A sudden shift of the wind blew the sail in such a man ner that the rope, being tight, caused his boat to capeize, and he was thrown into the water. He was a considerable - distance from shore and be had to swim for it. The water was numbing and he is not a practiced swimmer, and be was about to siiik after a, long struggle, vf hen bis feet fortunately touched bottom. 'He waded, out almost exhausted, but thankful for his life. The boat floated down the river and was lost. The sacred concert - given by The Dalles band yesterday was one of the finest out-door concerts ever given. The large number of people who gathered at the school grounds were enthusiastic in their praise. These Sunday concerts have already become, a necessity, and we hope nothing will occur to cause their discontinuance. The band was assisted "by Mr. Chri9man of the Congo Oil com pany who is an accomplished musician and plays the E b cornet, the leading instrument. His services were greatly appreciated by the band, who have ex pressed a isire to publicly thank him for his kindiy assistance. : .. The last meeting ol The Dal'es Lodge No. 2, I. O. G. T., or the Saturday night lodge, was of more than usual in terest. The mock trial inaugurated two weeks ago was proceeded with and con ducted with unparalleled ability by the attorneys on each side, who possessed the faculty, highly developed, of bother ing each other and delaying proceedings in the true style. The jury brought in a verdict on the second ballot of guilty. The case was, of course, promptly ap- j pealed by the attorneys for the defense, Next" Satu rday ? erentng a Leap ' Year basket social will be held, the gentlemen preparing and , bringing the -baskets, which will contain the lunches and also a very juvenile photo" of themselves, to be auctioned off to the ladies, A most cordial invitation to attend is extended to all friends and members of neighbor ing. lodges. . Tuesday's. Dally.' The infant child ot A.J. Hendry died last night from an attack of spasms. The baby was a little girl, aged about 8 months. The tabulated vote of the county ap pears elsewhere. It is almost complete, and the results will not be changed ap preciably by the vote yet to be reported. A telegram was received by Sheriff Driver this afternoon from Sheriff Mad- dock of Clackamas county that the en tire Populist ticket is elected in that county. . ' .The election yeeterday indicates a larger vote than was ever before polled in The Dalles. The returns show an ex cess of 172 votes over the highest num ber evet before polled. Some fine racing horses went below this morning on the Regulator. The Wasco Stables sent Latah, Begonia and Jim Crow, Geo. Alexander sent Hattie Glenn and W. G. Whitmore sent lone Mr. McNeil left for Hosier last night, where he was called on account of an ac cident to one of his little boys. The boy was hurt on the railroad, and reports are that he lost an arm and was consid erably bruised about the head' - At the meeting last night at the ar mory Mr. Carpenter took for his subject the hand-writing on the wall. Mr. Wallace also sang a solo touching the same subject, which was indeed im pressive. The last meeting will be held tonight, and all are especially invited to be present. A delegation of young folks went to Wasco this morning to attend the dis trict convention of the Epworth League comprising a territory between Golden dale and Prineville and Heppner to the Cascades. Those who left here were Edith Randall, Nellie Sylvester. Mabel Riddel), Ethel Deming, Ed Hill and John Thomas. Postmaster Crossen received a letter from the postiraeter general this morn ing which must have given him intense satisfaction. It raises this office to a second class postofBce and means an in creased emolument of $200 a year. His salary will now be $2,000" annually. This raise is considered permanent, as there is small chance for the office to again lapse to third class. This news, taken with the greatly increased vote of Dalles City over any election prior, proves that our population is greater than ever be-. fore, and that we have fully recovered from the eflects of the removal of the shops here eeveral years ago. a laoorer at tne uascaaes got into a row with some Chinamen this morning at Senfert's cannery, resulting in a war rant for his arrest by A. A. Urquhart, who made the arrest this afternoon While the man was working at a fish wheel a chinaman accidentally spat in his hat. He mistook the Chinaman's intent and commenced beating him, finally pushing him down a shaft about thirty feet deep. This made the boss Chinaman mad and he floored the white man with an iron bolt, nearly breaking his jaw and splitting bis ear the entire length. The white man went away, but B on returned with a gun and renewed hostilities. He tired into the Chinamen, bat wit!i no serious 'effect. The white man was then taken in charge and the officers summoned. . Umatilla County. Pendleton, Or., Jane 1. The returns come in very slowly. The count np to the present indicates the election of Teel, pop., for joint senator. Bennett will ran ahead of the ticket in all pre cincts. Report of Summit Ridge School.

The jury'amused themselves daring the long hours last night while they were trying to agree on a verdict in the Snipes case by taking a vote on .the po htical situation, fcample : ballots were handed them," which -each . quietly marked and deposited, iu a bat.,' .The vote showed their minds were about in the same confusion on the political sit uation as they were on the Snipes case. Perhaps the beet index as to their party complexion was ehowo in the vote for congress, Bennett receiving 7,' Ellis 3 and Quinn 2. This opinion is corroborated by the vote for superintendent of schools, the Democratic nominee receiving 7, the Republican 3, while one of the two Populists knew that Miss Hansbury was not legally a candidate. For the other positions, the vote showed a past tre mendous agitation in favor of the Re publican candidates. For supreme judge, Bean led the ticket, receiring 5., Bennett, Dem. 4, Gaston the inevitable 2. For clerk, Keleay'a popularity ' was manifested, receiving the full Republi can vote, a majority of the Democratic vote, and even one of the Populists : Kelsay 8, Cates 3. Driver also gained a Democratic vote: Driver 4, Woodcock 6, Taylor 2. - For joint senators the Demo-Pop fuse is apparent: Armsworthy (dem) 5, Dufurcdem) 6, Michell (rep) 6, Moore (rep' 4. For representatives, B. S. Huntington leads the ticket with 5. Henry 3, Mes- singer 2, Jones 2, Coon 1, For county treasurer, the independent candidate is top man. Wm. Michell re- ceived 5 votes, Geo. Liebe 4, geth Mor- gan 2, and C. L. Phillips 1. Geo. Morgan, accepting the jury's vote as indicative of anything, is the most popular. JJe received 8 votes to Whip- pie's 3. Morgan is our townsman, while Whipple is not so well known in this locality. For coroner, Butts 6, Williams 4. For surveyor, Schutz 7, Goit 4. The last named again shows the com plexion of the jury politically. Both men are held in equal esteem bv the community. It is now too late to subpoena a jury with a Republican majority, which party ia really dominant, and the vote if it shows anything is very complimentary. as it indicates that the Democratic party propose to vote for many men who rep resent the party of protection and the friends of both gold and silver as money metals. Today's Election. The election in The Dalles today has been .very animated, and it is probable a larger vote will be polled than ever be fore. Early this morning a number of persons were seen wearing Bennett rib bons, and later a circular letter was dis tributed from Northup, the Oregonian -w ( candidate lor congress. In many res pects the election today is a personal canvass, which cannot bat result in a great number of scratched tickets. The chief local fights are being made on county judge,. sheriff and clerk. For the ctber county offices it is believed the party ticket will generally be followed by the respective adherents. Nothing is obtainable upon which to base a prediction for a single name on the ticket. The strong fight, which is being made for Bennett, and a local pride which exists because of bis reel- denue in ine Dalles, mignt give elm a plurality. Otherwise Ellis would have received a majority. Quinn will poll a larger vote than has been generally con- ceeded. East Dalles precinct, polled 162 votes by 2 o'clock. Several illegal . voters at tempted to cast ballots, bnt the most of them were prevented by competent challengers. The judges here were R. E. Williams, John Adams and John Blaser. Clerks, D. Parish, and John Taylor, Deputy sheriff, B. H. Thurston. The challengers were Jack Elton and D. H. Roberts. In the other precincts there seemed to be no regular challengers. The polls, in Bigelow precinct were held at Wm. Mi- cbell's undertaking establishment. At 30 there were 136 votes polled. The judges were John Cates, S. B. Adams and J. M. Huntington. Clerks, Ed Pat terson and D. C. Herrin. The county court room was the poll ing pi ace in Irevitt precinct.- At 2 :45 o'clock - there were 147 votes polled. The judges were J. L. Story, C EBay ard and N. H. Gates. Clerks, Geo. Gibons and Roger Sinnott. West Dalles polled 177 votes by 3 o'clock. This polling place would make fine summer resort, but when the chilling blasts of November whistle through the chink holes of the old City Mills building, it will be decidedly un comfortable. The judges are J. M. Marden, G. M. Sterling and J. Doherty. Clerks, t. 8. Johns and.B. F. Miller. Confllctlor Reports. Reports from the upper country are conflicting as to the probable stage I of water in the Columbia this season. Ranchers who have come from the up per country report a small snowfall. while miners claim the opposite. No I prediction has yet been sent from Port land. The river this morning registered 1 28.6 feet. To equal . the height of 1894 it must rise 33.4 feet, or over a foot a I day for thirty days, which is a very re mote possibility and entirely Improba-1 ble. For the 24 hours previous to 6 o'clock this morning the river rose two feet. At Umatilla the river rose eix inches yesterday, which means a rise of one foot here tomorrow. Unusually high water i feared, hut no one vet believes it will reach our streets, and the rail road tiifii are not t'arni?d that it w ill Oo anv Uitrnttsre tn ll.e truck. A Death at tiio Cascades. Coroner Butts was called . to the Cas cades Saturday to hold an inquest over the remains of Wm.C. King. The re port of the grand jury contains the es sential facts which are as follows: We, the undersigned, the jury duly empanelled by W. H. Butts, coroner of Wasco county, Oregon, to inquire into the case of the death of the body now before us after bearing ail th testimony of the different witnesses called and sworn by eaid coroner find as follows: That the name of eaid" deceased wri Wm. C. Kin?, of about the eve of 53 ears, and came to this country from Marlborough, Mass.; that lie had no known relatives in thin state so far as known and was a single man. That the cause of bis death was from an acci dental fall off of bridge No. 73, In the eastern portion of Cascade L'ck, said bridge belonging to the O. R. & N. Co which resulted in the death nt said de ceased; that eaid deceased came t bis death as above indicated, on the 29th day of May, 1896, falling from said bridge between tho hours of 2 and 8 o'clock p. m., the exact time of which is not now known, but from the testimony of the witnesses we believe that eaid nc- I cident happened n'oont 3 o'clock p. ra. of said day. 'And in conclusion we find that no blame attsches to any personal the cause of said death, but that the death of eaid deceased was purely acci I dental and con! a not be avoided and caused eitner through nis innrmitv or unavoidable accident. Charles Malandeb, C. A. Stewart, E. C. WlLEV, F. F. Shaw, Jonsf McCarey, D. S. Dufub. Mr. Spencer's Speech. Mr. L. C. Spencer made an old-fash ioned Republican speech at the court house last night. He talked along the lines of protection and bimetallism in speech of an hour aud a half's length, and was frequently interrupted with ap plause. He was introduced bv Mr. F. W. Wilson, president of Tne Dalles Mc KinleyClub. Mr. Spencer reviewed the financial history of our country from 1796 to the present time. He explained the truth of the Gresham law, or the promulica tion of a well-known principle in 1856 in England which he applied to all na tions at all times where two or more metals circnlated side bv side. That principle is that the cheaper money will drive the dearer out of ciicul ttri. . - i i. tion When money was gm coined oy our government at a ratio of 15 to 1 gold was driven out of circulation. An at tempt was made to remedy it by estab ushing tne ratio at Jo to 1. inis was an error the other way and silver be came the ecarcer metal. The govern ment cannot legislate a value for silver, Silver must take 'its place in the com mercial world along with every other commodity. If legislation would give silver value Mr. Spencer would go far ther than the Pojuliste. If 16 to 1 would double its valne, he wondered why they did not make it 8 to 1 tnd quadruple it, or 4 to one and make it worth eight times as much. He would make it 1 to 1 and make all of ns mil lionaires. He closed with a strong ar gument to support' the regular ticket and vote 'er straight. Wat k las the Name uf the Dead Man. Coroner Butts has received a letter from Mrs.'Minuie Miller, Portland, -stating that the man who was ran over by the train and killed a few days ago, is her father; that his correct name is Mose Watkins instead of Russell, and that he assumed the name of Russell because of trouble he got into at Port land. A p'cture of a little girl was found on the dead man's person. Referring to it the writer said : VHe asked me for the picture the day before he left Port land. That was on May 12th. The pic ture is of "my little girl. If it is not too badly disfigured I' would like toiiave it returned. I am coming up to have bis body removed as soon esitisconven lent. We nre well satisfied with the in quest, but it was a terrible shock to us 1 am very fuanKIuUto yon tor vour kindness in helping us to find out his identity."

Wasco county declared in no uncer tain terms what it believes is responsi ble for the hard times now sfllicling the country, and that'it ia willing, nay anx ions, to place the reins of government once more in the hands of the Republi can party, that party under which it has enjoyed nninterrnpted prosperity until Cleveland's electiou the first time. For congressman Bennett has, so far as heard from, a small plurality, but the precincts yet to be heard from will lessen that plurality, and perhaps over turn it. But this being Bennett's home, hatian influence to swell his vote local ly. News from Portland indicates to a certainly the election of non. W. R. Ellis. Bean for supreme judge, Jayne'for prosecuting attorney, Michell for j lint senator nnd Huntington for joint rep resentative are among the certainties, while the election of Jones is almost as sured. The only defection on the Re publican senatorial ticket ie W. H. Moore of Sherman county, and there is yet some hope for him. The county tic" et is almost a clean sweep, if not fully so. Blakeley gave Mays a close race for county judge, but indications point to the election of Mays. Driver for sheriff is re-elected by a hand some majority. Kelaay for clerk and Gilbert for county school superintendent got surprisingly large voles. The bal ance of the Republican county ticket is probably elected, thoueh the vote for assessor is very close, and will be de cided by the precincts yet to be heard ' from. For precinct officers the Democratic candidates were eleeted: In the cape of j'iBtice of the peace thiB was caused by the larue independent vote for Davis, who did not fall far behind cither the Republican or Democratic nominee. Filloon received 3G9 votes, Farley 326 and Davis 304. For constable Hill received 562 to Wiley's 463. - The result as a whole is more than satisfactory, and indicates the triumph in November of the grand old Republi can party throught the states. THROUGHOUT THE STATE. Bean Barely Elected Kills Will Prob ably VFiu. Others In Doubt. Portland, Jane 2. Never have tickets In Oregon been so scratched as at the election held yesterday. The count is progressing with phenomenal slowness throughout the state. The only things certain are that the Republicans have elected Bean supreme judge and has been successful in most' counties with local officers. It is impossible yet to determine whether the Republicans wjll control the next legislature or whether it will be in the hands of the Populists and Demo crats. In the Second congressional district it looks very much as though Ellis bad ROLL OP HONOR THREE GOLD and ONE SILVER MEDAL.

People who get the greatest degrree of comfort and real en joyment out of life, are those who mate the most out of their opportunities. Quick perception and good judgment, lead such promptly to adopt and make use of those refined and improved products of modern inventive genius which best serve the needs of their physical being. Accordingly, the most intelligent and progressive people are found to employ' the most refined ana L perfect laxative to reg- i ulate and tone up the stomach, liver, and N bowels, when in need of such an agent hence the (treat popularity of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. These are made from the purest, most refined and concentrated vegetable extracts, and from forty -two to forty -four are contained in each vial, which is sold at the same price as the cheaper made and more ordinary pills found in the market. In curative vir tues, there is no comparison to be made be tween them and the ordinary pills, as an one may easily learn by sending for a free sample, (four to seven doses) of the Pel lets, which will be sent on receipt of name and address on a postal card.. QNCE USED THEY ARE ALWAYS IN FAVOR. The Pellets cure biliousness, sick and bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or constipation, sour stomach, loss of appetite, coated tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia, -windy belchings, "heart-bum,'? pain and. distress after eating, and kindred derange ments of the liver, stomach and bowels. Put up in glass vials, therefore always fresh and reliable. One little " Pellet Is a laxative, two are mildly cathartic. As a "dinner pill," to promote digestion, take one each day after dinner. To relieve distress from over-eating, they are un equaled. They are tiny, sugar-coated , granules; any child will readily take them. Accept no substitute that may be recom mended to be "just as good " It may be belter for Hie dealer, because of paying hrn a better profit, but he is not the one who. needs help.
