seven miles from . the city, snffeied a
serious accident. While driving down
a grade the berse stumbled, throwing
him out of the buggy. In some manner
he fell beneath the horse, which stepped
on him, crushing in two of his ribs.

homeward. He was hurt too severely
to ride and he walked the entire di

was of an extremely sensitive tempera

THE CHINESE CASE.
Charge cf Larceny Tramped lip.
but
Kin Sing; Stays In Portland.
Wong Louie left for Portland on tbe
afternoon train yesterday to get b
fe if poesible. That he failed maybe
judged from the following from, today's
Oregonian : .
Won Duck and Kin Sing, a couple
who were arrested a few days ago for the
larceny of a $50 diamond ring on com"
plaint of the woman's husband, Wong
Louie, of Tbe Dalles, were given a bear-
ng in Justice Geisler's court yesterday
afternoon', which resulted in their dis
charge. This case is an 'almost exact
parallel of -the Rivers -case, which
crowded the municipal court Tuesday
afternoon. The woman was- forced to
earn her husband's living by prostitu
tion, and, becoming dejperate, ran away
to escape him. He, aa did .Rivers,
trumped up a charge of larceny to bring
his wife back, and failed in hia purpose
of punishing her. The ladies of the
Christian mission took to the woman in
charge, and will take care of her for a
time. " .
Bat the Scheme Didn't Work.
Roy Turner was arrested yesterday by
Deputy. Sheriff Kelley for swindling,
and is now in the county jail. It seems
that Joe Cbapman secured possession of
forty-three coyote scalps through 'Jailer
Fitzgerald, who gave them to Cbapman
to destroy. Chapman treasured them
up till he got out of jail, and . in some
way made a dicker of them to Turner.
All Turner had to do waa to swear that
he killed them, find a witness to his
own identity, and bis claim for bounty
money was good. He made the affidavit,
swearing that he killed the coyotes near
Kingsley, and filed it at the clerk'a
office, along with a witness affidavit by
Joe Carey. He then went to Kuck's
and made an arrangement to boy some
saddles, giving - Kuck an order on the
county clerk, for tbe money. ' Deputy
Sheriff Kelly in the meantime had in
cidentally seen the affidavit, and being
an old resident of iuneBlev. thought
forty-three coyotes a remarkable clean
up for that neighborhood. It led to an
investigation, with the result that. he
pprehended' his man, who was already
starting 'for the country with tbe sad
dles. Carey will be held as a witness.
Chapman is not to be found.
Skamania's County Clark.
The trial of Robert Carr, county clerk
and auditor of Skamania county, oc
curred Friday and Saturday before
Judge ' Miller, - at Stevenson, tbe
county seat. Attorney ' A.. S. Ben
nett appeared - for - the defendant
and D. O. Bollea -of Vancouver
for the prosecution. The jury were out
only an hour when they returned with
a verdict of ."not guilty." The offense
in Mr. Carr's case seems to have been
small. . 'Skamania ia a pioneer county,
having but little taxable property. The
position of coanty clerk is far from be
ing a sinecure. . The salary is but $50
a month, and the duties are so manifold
that be employs a deputy, paying him
$35 a month. The clerk ' drew some
warrants in payment for work, which
he waa unauthorized to do by a strict
construction of tbe law, but his motive
waa shown to be all right. The charge
was embezzlement..

Oregon Stats Camp Meeting;.
The Oregon State camp meeting of the
" '
Methodist EDisconai church, will h
Episcopal church, will be!
held at Canbv.Or.: nn t.hir hntifn.
at Canby, Or., on their beautiful
grounds, beginning July 14th and con
tinuing until July 27th. The grounds
will be suitably arranged and every-
thing in good condition for an enjoyable
and profitable meeting. By the order of
the association the grounds will be en
closed with a barbed wire fence, and in
stead of spoiling the Snnday services by
drumming for money to pay expenses, a
small fee of 10 cents for single admission
will be taken at the gate. A eeason
ticket for a single individual, good dur
ing tbe camp meeting, pan be had for
50 cents, and a family . ticket $1.
This includes all campers upon tbe
ground without any additional expenses
to themselves and family. Tbe board
ing house will be fitted up with care and
let to responsible persons, who will fur
nish desirable board at reasonable rates.
The date is later than usual, but after
consultation with interested parties it
was thought best, owing to the back
wardness of the season, tbe Chautauqua
assembly in session so. near to us and
other considerations, to fix the date a
few days later than usual. As far as
possible'we want to make thiB a real old
fashioned Methodist camp meeting,
where sinners are converted and believ
ers sanctined. barely there are hun
dreds of needy souls among us who are
longing for a deeper Christian experi
ence and in thus coming together with
one accord eternity alone will reveal the
gxd accomplished. Let all Methodists
take a deep interest in this camp meet
ing. Come, bring your children and
your neighbors especially the uncon
verted. , G. W. Gun,

Bit By a KstUMiMln.
Miss Cannon, a young lady who waa
working for Mr. Geo. Mesplie, while
picking strawberries about '5 o'clock
yesterday, was bitten by a rattlesnake.
The snake struck her in the hand, the
fangs entering in two places. Aa quick
ly aa possibly her wrist was bound to
prevent circulation of tbe poison, and
she was made to drink about a quart of
whisky. Dr. Hollister waa then sum-
moned, who administered the proper
medical antidotes and canterized the
wound. The young lady is all right to-
day, except for sickness of the stomach,,
caused by bo much whisky.
The wound of the rattlesnake ia most
to be dreaded of all poisonous reptiles
or insects in Oregon. The effect of the
poison is at once apparent on the action
of the heart, and without" the adminis
tering of antidotes, will lead to a state
of coma and death. Next " in poisonous
effect is the sting of tbe scorpion, but
the variety here is by no means as
death-dealing aa that of the tropics, and
no instance of a fatality has ever been
recorded. It is . proper to treat these
wounds at once with the best remedies
available, avoiding dangor and suffer
ing. Soda is the moBt common anti
dote.
Tho Kignt of Way Cases.

Taffe arrived on the noon train today
with U. S. Prosecuting Attorney Mur
phy, and after eating dinner were
driven to the location of tbe rights of
way, for which damages are asked. Mr,
Scbanno testified yesterday that the
lands were valueless for agriculture or
horticulture and the only question is as
to the inconvenience for fishing, and the
consequent damage therefrom. The
jury haa settled one case for $2,000, in
volving a strip of land three miles long,
containing eighty acres. -
In this connection' the Oregonian to

There ia no fishery established there,
but there is a very good place to put one,

ST.: MARY'S ACADEMY.
Excellent Commencement Extr
olsea of Yesterday Afternoon.
The
Thoee present at the commencement
c&eacieea oi at. Narva academy, had a
treat not often enjoyed in our little cit
The artistic decorationa of ferns and
no wets Bet off with rare elegance the
naturally pretty rooms. The stage,
with its organ and pianos, was banked
by tropical plants, and in ita general
tone of mnk and white made a most
brilliant and. artistic background for
the participants.
The opening overture from Lucrezia
Borgia, played by tbe Misses Mclnerny,
Brogan, and tbe graduate, Miss Smith,
was a fit opening to an elaborate pro
gram.
The Pleasures of Today," with solo
by Miss. Mclnerny and Miss Mamie
Johnson, and a chorus ot thirty-six
voices, waa more than well executed.
After tbia came the greeting by Mies
Effie Wakefield, well composed and well
delivered. .
The French dialogue, showing great
purity of accent and a most capable in
structor, was closed by a song in French,
during which Archbishop Groea waa
presented with a bouquet, thanks for
which be returned in tbe same language.
-The well-executed rose drill preceded
one of Mendelssohn's beautiful songs,
rendered in German by ten young
ladies, which proved to be one of the
prettikst gems of the whole exercises. 1
We find it bard to refer adequately to
the graduate's unusually fine essay. It
should have been heard by every dweller
in our cliff-bound city, and we regret
that the management were unwilling it
should be published in full. Miss
Smith's essay on "Echoes from the
Cliffs," referred to our own beloved city
Speaking of tbe first Methodist mission
built here in 1838 near the academy
grounds, then of the Presbyterian mis
lion and of the Catholic missions,
which started here in 1S4S and resulted
in our magnificent academy of the prea
ent day, she closed by referring to the
beautiful sunsets daily to be witnessed
on our own JUickitats, and then was
finished a most complete and interest
ing essay.
The "Fantasia Brilliante," played
with twelve -.mandolins, three guitars
and two pianos, showed to advantage
the good work done in this institution
"A Wonderful Invention," by twelve
young ladies in costumes modern, medi
aeval and ancient, was most entertain
ing.
"The Minims' Troublesome Clock,"
by twenty-four little girla, was an extra
pretty selection for little girls and ex
ceedingly pretty in its rendition. '
We cannot bring this report to a close
without mentioning the cornet playing
of Mias Rose Mary Baldwin. Though
but a young grl, she shows the musical
talent she naturally inherits from her
maternal ancestors. She . displayed
much ability and sweetness in playing
and won admiration by her efforts.
- Archbishop Gross' address, which
waa such as only he can deliver, closed
a most creditable entertainment, and
the friends of the institution feel justly
proud of the fine academy we have in
our midst.
Terdlot for the Defendant.
The trial of the suit. of the United
States vs. The Dalles Packing Company,
to condemn a right of way for the Celilo
boat railway across the property of de
fendant, was concluded and the case
given to the jury about noon yesterday.
The court explained to ' the jury that
they were the judges as to the amount of
damages they should award. In an
swer to the question of a juryman he
said that tbe jury might return a ver
dict for the gross amcunt of damages
awarded, including the value of tbe land
taken, injuries resulting from the con
demnation of the property, etc. The
jury then retired, and - toon after re
turned a verdict for defendant in the
sum of $2000. Oregonian. '

A Smart Coyote.
Mr. Matthew Thorburh of Kingsley ia
pestered with a coyote which he believes
is gifted with! reason. He finds it im
possible to poiaon it with the most cun
ning devices, and which never fail to
kill its comrades. He haa poisohed
horse meat, mutton 'legs, etc., with
strychnine, which he used for baits and
with successful result except in one in
stance. There is one coyote that ia too
cute to be destroyed. With great dis
cernment he' avoids the poisoned por
tions of the carcass and eats the sound
parte. If it happens there is good meat
adjoining or underneath the poisoned
bite, he does not hesitate to. bite them
out, dropping them again to the ground
Other coyotes have been poisoned after
ward with these discarded bits torn oat
by the knowing one. Coyotes are
pretty smart animals as a class, but this
especial pet of Mr. Thorburn'atis con
siderably more than a shade ahead of ita
fellows. "
No tfe on tho Moon.
In tbe absence of all indication of any
sort of life whatever on the moon, with
no air nor water, together with the fact
that no change of any description haa
been noticed by tbe keen and trained'
yes which have jealously acrutini2ed
ita surface from the time of the first
telescopic efforts to tbe present we are
compelled to conclude that there are no
people who live in the moon. Tbe
wonaenui comoinauon oi mountain
and crater, valley and peak, is, after
all, only a vast graveyard ; and if
living beings ever roamed over its plains
and navigated its great eeas, now dry,
or frozen with appalling cold, they have
been gathered to tbe nations of the dead ;
and all traces of them having vanished,
the tail shafts of tbe mountains watch
over tbeir last resting place, and, with
the crater rings, constitute tbeir eternal
and magnificent mausoleum. Alden -

Artesian Water In Klickitat.
It has been proven beyond a doubt
that artesian ' water can be ' had ' in
Klickitat by going to a nominal depth.
Messrs. Taplin & Phillips have just
finished tbe boring of a well for Mr. E.
G. Ferguson, who resides about nine
miles east of town. At the depth of
about sixty feet an excellent stream of
water was encountered. While it does
not come out with great force, there ia a
continuaj flow from tbe well. It is evi
