DIED.
At Olex, Gilliam county. Or., Sept. 8,
1896, Fritz Laubinger, aged 58 years.
The deceased was born at Kiel, Schles
wig HolBtein, Germany.
Hard to Digest.
A cougar was killed near old Fort
Warner last week which was either pos
sessed of poor judgment in the matter of
selecting food or else was a victim of
misplaced confidence. The Lake view
Bustler says that two men were hunting
near the fort when they were attracted
by a sound like the bleating of a fawn,
and upon investigating its source were
surprised to see an immense cougar rise
up and make for the brush. The brute
was trailed, treed and shot, and after it
was dead the curiosity of the hunters
was aroused by the numerous porcupine
quills that were protruding from his
neck and mouth, bo they went inside of
him to find out what victuals he had
lately regaled himself with and to their
surprise found the remnants of a porcu
pine. Evidently he had been rendered
a dyspeptic by his indigestible titbit,
and hence the wail cansed his discovery
and untimely end.

RESULTED FATALLY.
J. H
Graham the Victim of a Ball way
Accident at Grant.
. J. H. Graham, otherwise known" as
"Hank" Graham, was instantly killed
and his body horribly torn and mangled
this morning at Grants.
He was a ' brakeman on Conductor
Rice's freight train, which at 10 o'clock
this morning was switching cars in the
yard. Graham was seen by half a dozen
parties to swing himself np on the en
eine. bnt no. one saw him fall to his
death, and just how the accident hup
pened will never be known.
. Conductor Rice himself was among the
number who last saw him aliye. Rice
was perhaps a hundred yards in front of
the engine, talking to Mr. Thos. A. Hud
son at McCov 8 house, near the main
line. The locomotive was coming tow
ard them from the end of the switch,
with Graham riding in front. Turning
his head away for a moment, and again
looking toward Graham, he noticed that
he was missing. He immediately
euessed the horrible truth, and said
"My God ! have they run over Hank?"
A second later the locomotive moved
from the line of vision and disclosed to
Mr. Rice's gaze the corpse of Graham.
He was cut in two, half of the body ly
ing outside aqd half inside the track.
The exact time of the accident was
10 :05. The remains were taken up and
conveyed at once to The Dalles, arriving
here about 12 o'clock. -
Graham was standing on the left or
fireman's side of the engine, and as it is
customary to make a coupling from the
engineer's side, it is surmised that he
tried to change sides before the engine
had reached the caboose, with which
it was to be coupled, but made a mis
step, slipping down the cowcatcher,
where, his 'foot striking the track, the
engine closed over him.
The .deceased was a brother of the
master mechanic at Albina, who was at
once notified and came np on a special
train, arriving at 2 :30 o'clock this after
noon. Graham has been in The Dalles
about two years. He ia unmarried, but
it is said bad a wife some years ago.
The inquest was held at 2:30 this
afternoon, and the following is the ver
dict of the coroner's jury :
We, the undersigned, the jury im
paneled by W. H. Butts, coroner of
Wasco county, Or., to inquire into the
cause of the death of the body now be
fore us, find as follows :
That the name of said deceased ia J.
H. Graham, of the age of about 35 years,
and from the evidence produced at thiB
inquest we believe that said deceased
was a man ot family ; that he came to
his death on the morning of the 14tLt of
September, 1896, at about the hour ot
9 :05 a. m at or near Grants station ;
that at the time of his death he was em
ployed aa brakeman on train No. 23, be
longing to the O. R. & N. Co., and bound
west, and was discharging hjs duties as
such brakeman at the time of his death ;
that the cause of bis death, as near as
we are able to' ascertain from the evi
dence of the witnesses sworn at this in
quest, was from slipping off of the pilot
of the locomotiw and being run over,
thereby producing the death of said de
ceased, 'and we further find that said de
ceased came to his death through an un
avoidable accident and that no blame
attaches to any one.

The Portland Industrial Exposition.
Saturday night next, the Oregon In
dustrial Exposition opens at' Portland.
Arrangements have been made for cheap
railroad fares to and from- the city dur
ing the entire exposition. There are
also being arranged special excursions at
much cheaper rates to run into the city
at the times of the greatest special at
tractions. The management has pro
vided an attraction for every day of the
fair. Some of these are extremely novel
and highly entertaining. There will be
a grand merchants' carnival; also a
flower carnival of children ; there will
be a minstrel show in which the per
formers will be all well known Portland
ladies ; there will be a complete Chinese
theatre; there will be special nights de
voted to the Odd Fellows, the Elks, the
Woodmen, the Red Men, the Workmen,
and the Foresters. On these occasions,
excursions will be run from all points in
the Northwest, bringing the members of
these orders and their friends, for a
grand celebration in Portland. .There
will be a grand choral night, at which
there will be chorua and solo singing,
and there will be a wedding night,
when tw& couples will be united amid
great ceremony and music and flowers.
The exhibits will be more numerous and
finer than ever before. The manufac
turers of the Northwest will make spe
cial displays, and will have working ex
hibits, showing the various processes of
the manufacture of goods. The greatest
display of the natural resources and pro
ducts of the Pacific Northwest ever
brought together, has been collected for
this exposition. Twice aa much space
aa has ever before been devoted to this
feature is now occupied by thia magnifi
cent collection. ' Even the producers of
the Pacific Northwest will themselves be
astonished at thia display, while the
thousands of visitors from abroad will
simply be overwhelmed by it. . The at
tendance from outside the city promises
to be the largest in the history'of ex
positions in Portland.

Mr. H. Herbring, who ia now in New
York, has just sent to Mr. Carl Gott
fried specimens of the new issues of $1,
$2 and $5 bills, issued according to the
act of August 4, 1896. They are by far
the handsomest "greenbacks" ever is
sued by the government, and remind
one of the artistic Columbian stamps is
sued during 1893. The one dollar bill
baa a central pictnre entitled "History
Instructing Youth," representing a wo
man pointing a yonth to a panoramic
view of Washington City, with the
Washington monument and 'the Poto
mac river in the foreground. Around
the picture are grouped twenty-three
illustrious names, each in a laurel
wreath, famous in ecience, art, poetry
literature, statesmanship or warfare.
On the reverse side are large portraits
of George and Martha Washington.
The 2 bill represents "Science pre
senting steam and electricity to com
merce and manufacture." Here the
five characters are again impersonated
by beautiful women and youths.
"Electricity" baa a wire-enveloped
armature in his hand, while "Steam"
controls a lever attached to machinery.
On the reverse side are excellent like
nesses of Morse, the inventor of telegra
phy, and Fulton, of steamboat fame.
The $5 bill has a central figure of
great beauty, which is unnamed. "Col
umbia," standing upon that part of the
globe allotted to the United States, holds
aloft an electric light, while another
female figure at her feet has a horn to
her lips. On the left appears fierce-
browed War driving a chariot; her right
hand hurling thunderbolts, her left
holding the reins of her horees. At the
left of the picture is an angel, above
whose head flutter a number of doves.
On the opposite side are the familiar
faces of Grant and Sheridan.
Funeral of J. H. Graham.
The funeral of J. H. Graham occurred
at 12 o'clock. On the delayed west
bound train came fourteen of his La
Grande acquaintances and brothers in
the K. of P. lodge. Graham lived in La
Grande for many years and was married
to a Miss Porter of La Grande nine
years ago. She has since died, leaving a
son who is now about six years of age
in California. The funeral was con
ducted by the K. of P., Friendship
Lodge of The Dalles attending in a body.
The services were conducted at the M.
E. church by Rev. Goss. The pall
bearers were M. F. Rice, W. M. Maher,

- A Correction.
Mb. Editob : Please correct an error
you made in-The Cheoniclb yesterday
by stating that Charley Heppner touched
off that quart of powder with the lighted
end ' of a cigarette. Instead he lit
the powder with a match he held in his
fingers, and had no cigarette at the
time.
. C. C. Hobart feels so morally certain
that the locks will be opened by No
vember 15th, that he is having the por
tage road torn up and destroyed. Al
though everyone now agrees with Mr,
Hobart in believing the locks will be
completed on or before the date men
tioned, yet the haste noted in tearing
up the portage road seta badly upon
those who have taken an interest in the
people's line of boats on the river,
They would have been glad to see the
portage remain as long aa there remained
a possibility, that it might be needed,
and that possibility, though remote, ex
ists until boats actually pass through
the channel. The road was not in the
way, and seizing the first excuse to tear
it up argues the possession of an un
friendly spirit toward it.
A former resident of The Dalles, now
of Wimer, Or., writes to a friend in this
city that there is much dissatisfaction
over the action of the government at
Washington in granting patents to so
much mineral land to the Southern Pa
cific Co. He says he can count ten
mining claims within a half mile that
have been worked for forty years for
gold; one that has been worked with a
hydraulic plant for fifteen years, and the
plant was on the ground at the time of
issuing the patent, which covers and

takes it in. These patents savor of the
rankest jobbery, but it seems the min

the matter, and the railroad company, (n

American citizens.
None Bat Ayer's at the World's Fair.
Ayer'a Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
I ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact
urers of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the application of. the rule for'
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
world's fair authorities .in tavor of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla was in effect as "follows:
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is not a patent
medicine, it does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It ia here .on ita
merita."
Reduction In Railroad Fares.
Aa there will be numerous requests
for reduced rates on account of political
meetings during the coming contest, it
has been decided that in order to treat
all parties alike, a one fare rate will be
made by the O. R. & J?. Co. tor various
meetings of this character.
This. of course is intended only for oc
casions where there is sufficient number
to justify a reduction in rates. Thia is
done so that there wil' be no partiality
in favor of any one party.
