' ' : According to oar telegraphic report of the Chicago convention today, the silver men must have carried everything in sight. Hill wouldn't speak. A boy of 16 was arrested yesterday for peddling bogus jewelry. He was fined $10 which the recorder will remit, if the youth wH make himself scarce. The jury in the Seutert case for $150, 000 damages on account of the boat rail way, came np today and looked over the ground, returning on the local train. Two thousand head of cattle belong ing to M. Sichel & Co. arrived today, and are destined for shipment to Mon tana parties. The cattle will fill 40 care, Geo. Brookover, formerly of Walla Walla, is the latest victim to practically demonstrate the danger of pulling a gun muzzle first toward him. He was buried Sunday. ' ' Mr. W. J. Harriman brougbt in a sample of wheat this morning five and a half feet in height. It is the Walla Walla club variety, a very productive and satisfactory kind. The ice cream social, which was to be given by the Good Templars in their new hall next Saturday eveningwill be postponed one week. The regular ses sion will be held next Saturday evening. The survey for the boat railway places it about three feet below the present level of the Columbia in two places Turn water and Celilo.

Brooks of Pendleton and Staehai A. Sherwood of The Dalles. . The ceremony . occurred at tbe Umatilla house. An Indian woman appeared before the sheriff today with the complaint that the Southwell boys are making her life ' burdensome by killing and driving off her horses and threatening to kill her. A deputy was detailed to investigate the matter. Justice Filloon has. fixed np a very inviting office in the East End. It is supplied with a desk,chairs and benches, has been newly painted, and is cool and ' airy. It will be a pleasure to be ar raigned before the new jastice, almost justifying one in perpetrating some small offense for the pleasure of being tried. ' ; ' The following will be installed as of ficers of Harmony Temple No. 12, Bath bone SisterB, Thursday evening: P. C, Mrs. J. B. Crossen; M. E. C, Mrs. C. L. Phillips; E. S., Mrs. E. E. Lytle; E.

Land. - The Lorelei went over the locks yester terday about 11 o'clock. .The only occu- pant was its captain,Mr. Walker. He was to have waited for Captain Waad and a party of ladies, but the temptation was too strong to withstand. He couldn't wait. The shooting of the rapids was accomplished safely and spectators say (it was a very thriHing spectacle. ' The East Oregonian gives the follow ing reason as the one for reducing Pen dleton to a third class postoffice : ' The department eaw fit to deduct from tbe receipts of the office the amount that was lost in the postoffice robbery, which occurred some months ago, and this cat down the receipts below what are neces sary to place the Pendleton office in the second class. Had it been known that the department would make the deduc tion from the receipts enough patronage' would have been voluntarily forthcom ing in proper time to have offset the deficit. " . ; '.'v f Ed wards Davis of Oakland, Cat., as minister of the Central Christian church in that city, holds prominent position In bis profession, and though but a youth he has already won national reputation as a peer of the pulpit and platform Hjs engagements in many of America's leading cities have invariably, elicited enthusiastic aDolaase. The theme of the lecture, "The Science of Art, sach that it enlists his various talents as pianist, vocalist, poet and orator, re vealing him as a devotee at the shrineof aeslheticism, well deserving the appella tion, "A Gentleman of . Versatility." Mr. Davis gives this lecture Monday nieht at the Christian church In The Dalles. ,J , ' " ' . Thursday's Dally - Stone walls do not a prison make.

A fisherman caught a big salmon at the mouth of the Columbia last week with the shaft of an Alaska Indian spear sticking through its head. John Schultz was arraigned before Justice Filloon last night for breaking into the Oregon Meat Market, and bound over to the grand jury under $300 bonds. A poor editor wants the motto on the silver dollar, "In God We Trust," changed to "God be with you 'till we meet again;" but it is hardly worth while in these days of scarcity. Edwards Davis, designated by many religious papers as "tbe Tain age of the West," lectures at the Christian church next Monday night. Tickets may be obtained at Mrs. Schooling's millinery store. Adults 25 cents; children 15 cte. Genial Frank Summers of The Dalles has been appointed grand maker of sandwiches for the B. P. O.

Moro Observer. .. , Sheriff Driver went to Portland this afternoon. Tbe McCoy case still hangs fire, and an effort is being made for a settlement. Altogether the claims made against McCoy amount to about $7,000. An effort is being made to Bettle tbe claims by a sale of real estate. Rev. I. H. and Mrs. Hazel will leave about August 1st for Berkeley, Calif., to reside permanently. Mr. Hazel pro poses to take a coarse of Bible study in the state university and Mrs. Hazel a course of painting in Marx Hopkins University. Mrs. Hazel has much nat ural talent for painting. Mr. - Hazel will employ his Sundays by preaching n the small towns around Berkeley. He has recommended that his ' pulpit here be filled by Rev. A. D. Skaggs, which will probably be complied with. Assessor Wing says there is not an In dian on the county's assessment rolls. There were some who would have wil lingly been assessed, but the Indians combined and refused to give in their assessments. They claim they are only partial citizens, and until they are per-' mitted to deed away their land, walk up to the bar and take a drink like any other citizen they will not pay taxes. The privilege of voting has no charms for them, and but few. if any, will exer cise the franchise this fall. Lewiston Tribune. . Friday's Daily. The county court is busy today on bills. The river today at Umatilla stands at 23.9, a fall of .2 of a foot. Thomas and Milton Harlan made final proof on their homestead entries today. The wheat is being seriously damaged by the hot weather in various parts of the county.,. . . Mr. Murchie lost a parse containing about $70 this morning, but was fortu nate enough to regain it. There will be preaching at Dufur Sat urday evening and Sunday, both morn ing and evening, by Elder J. W. Jenkins.

All those who are interested in the hose tournament to be held at Astoria next month are requested to be present at a meeting at the council chambers this evening at 8 :30. ' ' Penuoyer received ten votes in the Democratic National Convention today. The way the convention has treated Cleveland and himself mast give him the greatest srtisfaction. At tbe request of a number of its sub scribers the Senfert & Condon Telephone Co. have started a messenger service. and a reliable messenger boy will an swer promptly all calls sent in on the telephone. . '' ' . ' ' Messrs. A. J. Anderson, T. H.- John- son.and W. J. Craft of Dufur are in the city , today in the interest of a new wagon road to Prineville, known as tbe Maupin's ferry route,' which is 10 miles shorter and on a much better grade than the p-3sent route. County Surveyor Goit is engaged at the present time in making the survey. The citizens of Dufur have taken a lively interest in the matter and are trying to gain back the trade at present diverted to Albany, They are going soon to present tbe case to The Dalles Commercial Club and tbe county court, and should receive every encouragement. '.-., All mail leaving The Dalles for Port land is placed aboard the east-bound train. - It is transferred to the west bound at . Blalocks, or " wherever the meeting point of the two trains is. The reason for this change is to give the mailing clerk on tbe train more time to sort the mail, and causes no delay in the delivery of mail. The Indianapolis Sentinel says of the lecturer who lectures at. the Christian church Monday night:: "Mr. Davis is one of the youngest lecturers on the American platform. But ' there is one thing particularly noticeable about him which older speakers might profitably imitate, and that is the clearness of his enunciation. . He handled the subject admirably,' and . pleased ' the audience gathered to hear him." Mrs. W. H. H. Dufur was stricken down with nervous prostration at the farm yesterday. She was in apparently her usual health in the early morning, About 7:30 she entered her milk house and was discovered fifteen minutes later lying prostrate on tbe floor. She was picked up and placed in bed and Dr. Slayback summoned. The doctor and tbe family worked incessantly with ber until 8 o'clock in the evening, when she became easier. At!one time her life was despaired of. The trouble is attributed to tbe heat and to an affection of the spine and brain. . . stock Shipping Season. This is the season of the year when great deal of stock centers at The Dalles for shipment. Cattle, having fattened on the nutritous bunch grass of the country surrounding are in prime con dition for the butcher's block, and are driven to Tbe Dalles stock yards for shipment either east or west; while sheep, relieved of their. warm coat of wool, change their winter for their sum mer range by being driven to Tbe Dalles for shipment across tbe river. ' The 1,400 head of fat cattle which were shipped out of The Dalles last night to Montana, were followed today by an equal number,' purchased by Mr. Ben Snipes from cattlemen across the river. Both lots are destined for Montana. A third shipment of Klickitat county cat tie is expected in a . few days. The Regulator was bisy yesterday forenoon in transferring 1,500 bead of sheep to Stevenson. They belonged to Mr. H. W. W ells, and are to be driven to Mt. Adams range. This is the second ship ment within a week of sheep being driven to their summer range, tbe for mer shipment numbering 3,000 bead Two carloads of horses, also, belonging to Geo. McCoy, were shipped to Troutdale yesterday. - Why the .Extinguisher Failed. George Brown explains at this late date the cause of the failure of the fire extinguisher. "The agent came to my house," said George, "out of a sort of fellow feeling, I suppose, and we had a long talk together. Before he went away he asked me if he could leave his apparatus in tbe engine room. That was just what I wanted all tbe time. I told him 'yes ot coarse.' After he . was gone took it all apart and filled the acid tubes half full of salt. When he went to squirt on the fire he nearly burned his hand off, aud the hose nearly melted from the. heat. What else would yon expect me to, do? Ton wouldn't sup pose I was going to let the fellow make a successful experiment with bis little extinguisher and throw me oat of a job, would you?. Oh, no. I am a little too foxy for that," and George's self-complacency was a pleasure to see. George has got the foundation for a pretty good story. Only he should substitute ben zine for salt. Salt is a very good fire ex tinguisher itself. . t'..,.' Good Bye. In retiring from the office 'of county sehool superintendent at the end of a six years tenure, simple gratitude impels me to say a few words to the public. . .. I am thankful to the party-which honored me with tbe nomination three successive times. Iam thankful to the voters who, without respect to party, so generously gave me their support. I am thankful to the teachers who have so universally aided me in all efforts for the betterment of the public school. . I am thankful to the many friends who so heartily gave me their' help and encour agement even overlooking ' failures daring the many hard trials in the ad ministration of the office." And I am thankful to the' press of the county, which has aided, gratuitously, the cause of education. Above all I am thankful to God, who roles over all, and without whose help and strength no measure of success could have been attained. . ' TaoY Shbllxy. Natlce to Farmers. ' .

Bring your text books and make this the best investment of yonr life. ' G. L. GlLBIBT, School Superintendent. Mr. Bloody Does Nut Own ft. In Monday's issue of The Oregonian, an item from Gilliam county was published concerning the breaking down of the Leonard bridge spanning John Day river, and tbe destruction of two freight wagons with their loads, and the death of five horses owned by Sam Grant. The statement was also made that the bridge was owned by Malcolm Moody, of The Dalles, and that it bad been condemned several years ago by the bridge inspect ors, in justice to Mr.. Moody, it is now stated that he bad no interest whatever in the bridge, either by lapse of mort gage or other way, and he is in no way concerned in the property. The mistake probably is due to the fact that some years ago Governor Moody had an ac quired interest in the bridge over the Des Chutes river, but that structure has been torn down and replaced by an en' tirely new one. - The bridge across the John Dav, at Leonard's crossing has been owned by W. Lair Hill and William Grant, for years past, and at no time has Mr. Malcolm Moody had any interest in it.- Uregonian. As the above was copied by The Chboniclk, we cheer fully copy the correction. ' Struck by Lightning. Vernon Marsilliot and his family came near being electrocuted the other day, says the LewiBton Teller. He lives six miles from this city on the border of the reservation, and had turned his team of fine grey mares loose to graze, for a rett ing spell, in the door yard. He took shelter from the storm. A thunder bolt struck one ot the mares within a few feet of the house and killed her instantly. She dropped rigid in death, not moving a muscle. A mouthful of grass which she had gathered remained in her jaws. Tbe hair burned slowly from her body and the air was filled with the stench of burning flesh. , Tbe other mare, which Stood by her mate, was knocked down by the shock, and she was also thor oughly singed by the lightning flash. Mr. Marsilliot and others in. the house were affected for a time by tbe frightful shock, bat they soon recovered, and ex perienced no serious results. Aa Illustrated Circular.

Purchased By the Reorganisation Com- ; - mlttees for )9,43T,S&0. - Tbe Oregon ' Railway & Navigation Company's property was sold by Special Master Commissioner Knapp at Fair- view yesterday at noon for $9;437o0, which was the bid offered by the pur chasing committee appointed by tbe reorganization management' to attend the sale and bay tbe road. The representatives of the bondhold ers were Messrs. Marcos, tairchild and Beaman of New York City. These gen tlemen constitute the purchasing com mittee which arrived Tuesday from New York. Besides these there ' were Charles S. Fairchild and Howard C. Tracy of New York. Attorneys W. W. Cotton, Joseph Simon, J. N. Dolph and others of Portland attended the formal- itv of putting np the bid which was se cured by a certified check. Tbe party of New Yorkers will go to Island City and Teko today, where they will bid for the Washington and Idaho railway, which is to be sold under the same con ditions. - Whether there is a likelihood of a change in the present active manage ment is merely conjecture. In a general way it is stated that Receiver McNeill's control has been satisfactory to the bondholders, and that he will very prob ably .continue as - manager.' The ques tion of a change is agitating the O. R. k N. employes to a considerable extent, but none of tbe officials is willing to- discuss the matter until some definite move is made. ' Charles S. Fairchild, who is a member of the reorganization committee, was asked by a Telegram reporter in regard to the Oregon. Short Line and Union Pacific interests. He said: "Tbe Oregon Short Line holds a large amount of stock in the O. R. 4 N., and its interests are represented and will be taken, care of." 'Is there any possibility of Jhe Short Line or Union Pacific again , obtaining control of tbe O. R. & N?" . 'The Short Line or Union Pacific Las only certain interests in the O. R. A N., and can never again make a sidetrack of this property." 'Are A. B. Hammond or C. P. Hunt ington interested in the organization or purchase of the O. R. & N.?',' To my knowledge neither, of these gentlemen is interested in any manner in the present organization plan." A rumor has been current for a num ber of days past that it would be found in tbe outcome of O. R. N. affairs that Coll is P. Huntington, the Southern Pa cific magnate, and A. B. Hammond and his backers, would be found in control of the entire property of the two railroads. From the interview above, this rumor would appear to be false, or else tbe true inwardness of affairs is being kept secret. Major McNeil, the receiver of the O. R. & N., and who it is supposed will be tbe president of the reorganized com pany, was .very reticent, and talked about anything and everything except theO. R. & N. Harder In Grant Cvonty. The Fossil Journal reports a brutal murder committed . last Sunday at Buckhorn, in Grant county, the. victim qeing a sheepman named Artman, and tbe murderer a man namtd Ed. Mur phy, alias George Mooney, who was em ployed by Artman ' as camp-tender. Without any known provocation. Mur phy woke Artman np at midnight and fired three shots into him,' killing him instantly. Herman Frost was sleeping with Artman, and he crawled out under the back of the tent and ran to Ben Ire I j jjyuu The Dalles,, Oregon. monger's for help. When they reached the spot the murderer had gone, leaving hie gun, which he had broken over the head of the murdered man. He bad also cat one of the dead man's legs in two with an axe. The murderer got clear, away at the time, but was afterwards run. dawn and killed, as will be seen by the following account sent us by Jastice Martin pf Pop lar: "Constable W. B. Cowne of Day-, ville got a warrant and started in pur suit. They came up with him on the John Day river on the 30th. The first intimation they bad of his whereabouts was a couple of shots from a Winchester ' fired at them from the cover of a thicket.' Here Murphy kept a posse of 20 men at bay until midnight on the night of' July 2nd, when he made a break from cover, ' and was killed. He had gone all this time, nearly three days and nights, with the thermometer registering over 106 in the shade daring the day, withoat food or water, and bad not spoken ' a word, though repeatedly called on to surrender. An inquest was- held, and a verdict of justifiable killing was brought in." It is supposed' that the murderer was sane. A year and a half ago, within a few miles of wuere Artman was so cruelly, done to death, Jack Hamblet murdered Ben Gammie. Hnoblet also fled, to the river,. and also fired on a posse that was pursuing him, but after dodging tbe officers a few days along tbe river, he finally got clear away, notwith standing there was and is a large reward offered for his capture.
