Ine wreck of ireight Ho. 23 was an

and JobBen fireman. It has previously
been Earhart's boast, we are informed,
that be never was an interested parly in
a train wreck. No accidents to the

For the benefit of the young lady who club.
is not relieved from the .unfavorable
light by Mr. Barker's admissions in an
other column, we will state that he said
to four reputable witnesses yesterday,
including some of city and county offi
cers, that there was nothing in the
girl's letter of an improper nature what
ever. This after the demand made by
the girl's father to produce the letter,
called forth by the same observations be
makes today in print. In justice to the
girl we must say this, at the risk of im
pairing the. value of Mr. Barker's "cor
rection" in another column.

Portland, taking for his text the words
of Joseph to bis brethren (Genesis 1 :19V
Am I in the place of God?" The Ore-
gonian commented opon it at length in
its iesne of yesterday. .
One of the fishing scows put in to
shore the other night just over Borne
bidden rocks. Before morning the river
fell four inches, and it was impossible
to get it off.. It was therefore blocked
up and must remain till bigh water next
June. Four men were thrown out of
employment by the mishap.
Even the boys and girls of The Dalles
are taking an active interest in politics,
At a party of young folks the other night
they were discussing the political situa
tion, when one of them, slightly worsted
in argument, retaliated: "wait mi
election day, and you'll- see plenty of
Bryan men." The answer was ready
enough : "Yes, but you won't see any
the day after."
Jap Minto, ex-county treasurer of
Salem, has been committed to the insane
asylum. "Jap" has been in a partially
demented condition since the June elec
tion and a few weeks ago he suddenly
disappeared from Salem. After several
days it was ascertained that he had gone
on a hunting expedition to isenton
county and later he was seen in Lane
and Douglas counties.
The Baker City Epigram says: "We
are informed that about $17,500 worth of
county scrip advertised last June to be
registered according to law within sixty
days failed to put in an appearance,
therefore will be cancelled. This, to
gether with the interest, will amount to
nearly $30,000 quite a saving to the
county. The - scrip is supposed to be
held by eastern parties."
The largest sturgeon catch of the sea
eon was brougbt to the express otnee
this morning. They were caught by the
Bunnell Bros, at Celilo. The fish were
all large, not one of them under 100
pounds, and their combined weight was
2,430 pounds. At four cents a pound
this increases the county's wealth nearly
$100. The Bunnell Bros., unlike other
sturgeon fishermen, never catch any
small fish. If this were the case with
all, the sturgeon industry would always
be profitable.

arrowheads, such as adorn the primeval
implements of warfare and were "tipped
with flint and with feather," says the
Grant County News. The recent sand
blizzard which swept along the shores of
the Columbia has nncovered many of
these arrowheads, and they are supposed
to be especially numerous on the site of
the old Indian battlefield near Umatilla.
In fact, this is about the only place J
where the relic-hunter considers it
profitable to turn his attention. Many
arrowheads have been picked np in this
locality. They are made of flint and are
of various designs and structure. ' '

The courthouse was filled last night
with enthusiastic Republicans at the
first meeting of the reorganized McKin
ley Club.
President F. W. Wilson was in the
chair, and opened tbe meeting with
characteristic speech in his nBuallv en
ergetic vein. He was frequently in
terrupted with applause. ' "We
have met tonight," said the speaker,
"with the echoes from Maine sounding
in our ears. The wires are still telling
of the majorities which tbe hills and
valleys, tbe cities and rugged coast towns
of the Pine Tree state have poured forth
to swell the Republican column. The
enthusiasm which Vermont caused had
had bardlv begun to subside when the
state of Hannibal Hamlin and James G,
Blaine told its story, and told it well,
Under what more favorable circum
stances could we gather, fellow Repub
licans, to renew our pledges to the
weigh tv principles with which the
names of McKinley and Hobart are con
nected than those nnder which we meet
tonight." The speaker continued : "No
one can deny tbat a contest is raging.
Through the ceaseless efforts of Bryan
and his followers this great government'
has been divided one portion being set
against another. It is needless to say
that this struggle is no ordinary one.
There is not a school boy who has
reached a thinking age who does not
know that opon the turning of the ways
next November depends the weal or woe
of us all. This is not the time to glory
in the achievements of the Republican
party. The past stands as a witness to
itself. There is no disposition now to
wave the bloody shirt. We are content
to let the deeds and days of bloody war
rest in the lap of history. However
pleasant it may be to revel mid the
scenes of a happier time, a sterner call
now rouses to action. There are two
propositions before the American people,
either one of wbtch, if allowed in opera
tion, will work their ruin." Mr. Wilson
trusted his Democratic friends would
not disagree with him when he said that
free trade has had its trial and is found
.to be a miserable subterfuge for a na
tional policy. "It is as strange as it is
true tbat hundreds of Republicans in
Oregon have forgotten the lesson of the
past three years, and still persist in
playing with the fire that burned them
It is to these citizens that McKinley
spoke when he said, 'better open mills
than open mints.' "
Tbe speaker then touched lightly npon
the financial question, and in closing
said: "We have come tonight three
hundred strong to aid in deciding that
this country, which had its birth in
1776, and struggled for existence through
the turbulent years succeeding, shall
not perisn tnrougb tbe ignorance or
cupidity of a portion of, its population ;
and, in the words of the immortal
Lincoln, let us 'here highly resolve tbat
the government of tbe people, for the
people, and by the people, shall not
perish from the earth.' "
Mr. Wilson's cpncluding peroration
brought forth thunderous cheers. When
they had subsided he made known the
fact, which again made the roof quake,
that the roster for tbe new McKinley
club, with only two days circulation, has
enrolled upon it 347 names, which with
but one or two exceptions were names
of our townspeople. He then called up,
on and introduced to the audience Hon,
j. vv.iveyoi rortiana. Mr. ivey was
so unfortunate as to be suffering from a
very sore throat, which precluded his
making any extended remarks. He in
formed the audience that he bad recent
ly returned from a prolonged trip
throughout Crook county, making Prine-
ville the base of operations, and that
after having canvassed pretty thoroughly
the entire county, he was confident that
Crook county would give 300 majority
for McKinley and Hobart.
The interest there for Republican suc
cess was deep-rooted. He regarded the
issue this year as the most important
since 1864. Mr. Ivey begged to be ex
cused from making anv extended re
marks owing to the raw condition of his
throat, but promised to appear later be
fore a Dalles audience, when he would
consume an entire evening. Mr. Ivey
was honored with enthusiastic cheering.
President Wileon then announced tbat
it would be in order, to the end that a
reorganization of the McKinley club be
made, that new officers should be nomi
nated, and suggested tbat since this was
ft business men's campaign, tbat some
business man be chosen for president.
Sheriff Driver nominated Mr. Geo.
Ruch, and Mr. Menefee nominated ' Mr.
L. E. Crowe. Mr. Each declined and
Mr. Crowe was nominated by acclama
tion. For vice president Mr. B. S. Hunting
ton nominated Mr. David Creighton,
eaying he would nominate of the class
claimed by tbe Bryan element the farm
ers. For secretary Mr. G. J. Farley
was nominated by Mr. F. W. Wilson
and Mr. A. M. Kelsey for assistant sec
retary by Mr. C. L. Phillips.
On motion of Mr. B. S. Huntington', a
committee of five were appointed by tbe
chair, an executiye and finance commit
tee, of which president and secretary
were ex-officio members, tbe committee
to choose a treasurer for tbe club.
The business of the evening being thus
completed, Mr. W. H. H. Dolor was
called upon, who responded in a vigor-

ous speech of some ten minutes length.
Mr. Dufur'e opinions were valuable be
cause of bis convictions as a silver Re
publican and the interesting fact is noted
tbat like thousands of other Republicans
bo have been friendly to tbe white
metal, he will not compromise the na
tion's prosperity and honor by continu
ing a Democratic administration. His
speech was mainly on tarifTlines, and he
quoted the period of 1837 which was one
ke the present a period of business
stagnation caused by the adoption of
free trade.
Mr. Hugh Gourlay was the next
speaker. For about 20 minutes be held
the closest attention of the audience.
He pleaded an intense earnestness for
Republican success. Mr. Goorley de
nounced the course of certain Demo
cratic newspapers in publishing alleged
mistatements, among them the quota
tion from Blaine, and more recently ' the
statement of a local daily concerning tbe
Goodyear Rubber Co., which the speak
er denounced as false, and has been
shown to be false through tbe columns
of the Oregonian. He regarded the
election of McKinley as practically over
and we are only waiting for tbe returns.
At the conclusion of bis remarks he
called for three cheers for McKinley and
Hobart, which were given with right
good will, and tbe meeting adjourned,
The Last Farewell.
A Correction.
Mr. . L. Barker called on The
Chronicle this morning, saying he was
the party referred to in yesterday's
paper as being tbe recipient ot a certain
letter from a young lady of this city
He states that the case made out against
bim ib undeserved, that in this fcity he
has always walked uprightly, paid his
bills, and his probity has never been
questioned until tbe article in yester
dav's Chronicle: that he is a member
of a respectable and well-to-do family in
Walla Walla. He desires to be placed
right before the people of' this city, and
in answer to questions as to what really
transpired, said he was standing on the
sidewalk talking with two or three men
on the subject of the rape ease. He
said be guessed the girls were pretly
wild, and that he bad a letter from the
oldest one, and that it was a terrible let
ter for a girl to wrfte to a man. He
made no remark to anyone about it con
taining anything vulgar, and all the re
mark he did say was tbat a girl who
would write a letter like that ought to be
sent up for three months.
The Chronicle is always willing to do
justice to anyone whom it may have un
deservedly wronged, and we are glad to
publish what actually occurred, as stated
by tbe young man himself. .

40 Years the Standard,
Thursday was the 71st anniversary of
the birth of Hon. E. S. Joslyn of Colo
rado Springs, and the event was cele
brated by a dinner party of old pioneers
at the most suitable place on the earth,
the pioneer home of Mr. and Mrs. Jos
lyn, White Salmon. Tbe couple were
greeted, by tbe following friends :
Mrs. ' Elizabeth M. Wilson, Mrs Ca
milla T. Donnell, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel
L. Brooks, Mrs. Julia S. Phelps, Mrs.
James B. Condon, Mrs. Bela S. Hunt
ington, Mrs. Isabella Gray, Mr. and
Mrs. A. Henderson, Rev. W. C. Curtis,
all of The Dalles; Mrs. Dr. P. G. Bar
rett, Hood River, Dr. Herbert Cardwell
of Portland, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Jewett,
Mr. and Mrs. James R. Warner, Miss
Percy of White Salmon, and Mr. and
Mrs. Erastus S. Joslyn, the honored
guests, of Colorado Springs, Colo.
After greetings, shaking of hands and
social converse, the party sat down to
royal banquet at a few minutes past 12
o clock. It consumed an hour and a
half of time before the guests rose from
tbe table. Mr. JobIvu made a verv
touching speech, reminiscent of days
gone by. He began by saying that the
enthusiasm of tbe present campaign
the most vigorous since I860, bad not so
filled him with emotion as had the good
ness and neighborly kindness of tbe
people of Oregon, his old associates. He
then narrated many of his experiences
at White Salmon, extending over a
period since 1853, among the most thrill
ing being the burning of his bouse and
home by hostile redskins In 1855. He
likened his trip to Oregon, after so long
an absence, as a traveler in the desert
coming to the oases. They bave come
thick and fast in Oregon, and will be as
perpetual green spots in his memory.
Rev. Curtis paid a fitting tribute to
the honored guest, reminding the assem
bled company of his connection as one
0! the founders of the original Congre
gational church in Tbe Dalles,, and
dwelling upon the tender regard Mr.
Joslyn possesses for his old church
home.
Mr. S. L. Brooks spoke feelingly of
Mr. Joslyn 's worth of character, partic
ularly of the attachments he holds for
his friends, calling to mind tbe emotion
of Mr. Joslyn in being overcome- with
tbe thought that he was separating from
them probably for the last time on this
earth. He mentioned the important
incidents of bis life during tbe past 35
years. .
A letter was then read from Mr. B. S.
Huntington containing hi regrets,
which was a gem of refined sentiments
in the most charming dictio.
The speeches over, the- party was
driven in carriages to the different
places of interest around White Salmon,,
including Mr. Jewett's farm and the old
home place of the Joelyns, now occupied
by Mr. A. R. Burkett, and finally to. the
steamboat landing, where the last fare
wells were tearfully made.
The Sheep Men Tlctoou Thus Far.
A number of the cases of tbe United
States-against the sheep men, for herd
ing sheep on the government reserve,
were heard in the United States court
yesterday. In tbe cases- argued yester
day B. P. Mays of Portland and Hunt
ington & Wilson of this- city appeared
for tbe defendants: in the criminal
cases,, in which the defendants were
charged with having committed tres
pass), the demurrers were sustained and
tbe- informations dismissed, there ap
pearing to be no law making the herd
ing of-sheep on the reservation a crime,
the reservation not being enclosed. Tbe '
sui of tbe United States vs. Tbe Tygh
Valley L. & L. S. Co.,. was also heard
upon the question of granting a pre
liminary injunction;, but Judge Bel
linger decided not to consider tbe question-concerning
the injunction until the
final bearing. A general demurrer to
bill was argued and submitted, and
taken under advisement by the court.
Sheepmen can, with perfect safety herd
their sheep in tbe mountains until this
fall, and before spring the matter will'
probably be definitely decided.
Oar Public-Schools.
Mr. John A. Hay lock, an Arlington
instructor, visited our schools yesterday,.
and was so much pleased that he has
written tbe following observations :
Editor Chronio&k: Today (Friday);
I have had the pleasure of visitingThe

edge of square root and its applications.
The class worked' without books, under
the direction of Kiss Hill. Tbe class-in
book-keeping, under Prof. Landers, have
a good beginning in double entry.. In '
