At Portland, Or., Sept. loth, to the wiie of Valentine W. Tomkius, (Cascade Locks; a daughter. The Freight Wreck. The wreck which occurred the other day near Grants came near proving the last of Joseph Earhart, or "Bull Run Joe," as he is familiarly called by train men. He escaped death it would seem by a miracle. He was hardly aware of the danger until he was thrown in some unaccountable wav to the tank of the ' engine, which sloughing around, cast him ' in front of a freight car. The freight car ploughed its way through the sand,' roll ing him along in front of it and almost burying him Four cars followed and piled up on top of bim. He was pulled out of a space so small that seemed im possible a much smaller man than Joe could occupy. Though he sustained some severe bruises, about the face and body, he fortunately came out with no broken bones and no serious injury. Our informant was wrong the other day in stating this was Earhart's first intro- ' duction to a railway accident, as this makes the third for him. The fireman escaped by jumping. The cause of the wreck was an accumulation of Band' on the track. Another McKlnley Club. Kingsley, Or., Sept. 21, 1896. Editor Chronicle : News Is scarce around this burg. Farmers are through threshing on Tygh Ridge. Spring wheat averaged six to eight bushels per acre. Summer fallow from 16 to 26, and in -some very rare cases it went from 30 to 35 bushels per acre. We had a very eloquent sermon from Rev. Merrill of Dufur at theschool house on Sunday the 20th. People around here are sorry he is leaving Dufur. There will be a meeting at Kingsley school house on Saturday evening next, the 26th inst., at 7 o'clock, to organize a McKinley club. All good citizens who are devoted to national honor, honest money and high tariff, are invited to at tend. ' W. A. K. i All Free.

Suggested by Chicago Ministers, Owlnf to the Political Situation. At a union meelingof Christian minis ters of all denominations in Chicago yesterday which was called by D. L. Moody and which completely filled the Central Auditorium, the suggestion was made that in yiew of the present politi cal and industrial crisis, it would be de sirable to have a day of humiliation and prayer throughout the nation. The sug gestion, so manifestly reflected the feel ings of all present that the call to all Christian patriots of the nation w as at once proposed and adopted by a rising vote. "To the Christian citizens of the United States: In common with a large number of our fellow-citizens of every religious and political creed, we believe our nation is in the throes of a great conflict, portending more serious conse quences, unless tnere be a merciful in terposition of the Divine hand. We be lieve this to be true independently of any settlement of the presidential con test,, one way or another. "On one hand that mysterious factor known as 'public confidence' is declin ing, as illustrated by the depression in both financial and industrial circles, while on the other, political class and even sectional feeling is running unusu ally high, and likely to become intenser as the day of election draws near. Not only is it true that, questions requiring most careful and dispassionate consider ation are very likely to be determined in many instances by the heat of passion but after their determination, the results may prove baneful over a wide surface and for a lengthened period. We could not view the situation, perplexing aud foreboding as it is, outride its relation to the mind of God. We jtelleve in hfs presence and agency among us. He is governor amng nations. But we be lieve this to be tli time for Christian patriots to follow ' the example of our forefatherg in the earlier crises.which have confronted n, arid pray unitedly to khim that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that l)ve him aud keep his commandment?, thut he would visit us with especial grace. "We therefore affectionately invite and earnestly uryc our Christian fellow- citizens throughout the length and breadth of our land, irrespective of de nominational or political affilia tions, to join with us in obserV' ing Thursday, October 8, as a day of fasting, confession, and prayer to Al mighty God that he will allay passion and restrain evil among us; that be will strenghten our faith and inspire hope'; til at he will impart wisdom, and bestow patience, and that he will forgive our iniquities as a nation and grant ub bi salvation.' We would further respect fully recommend that in addition to the gatherings held in usual places of wor ship on that day, union meetings be ar ranged for ia the afternoon or evening, where all may come together to unite their hearts and Voices in what we are persuaded is the common cause." Excursion rates over the. Regulator Line to the Portland exposition as fol lows: Round trip ticket including ad mission to the exposition. Three day limit, $2.25; 10 day limit, $2.50; 30 day limit, $3.00. , Regulator leaves at 8 p. m. W. C. Alxaway, Gen. Agt. Mrs. Fooraiia'l Missionary 'Work. Mrs. Martha Poorman is the name of a highly -respected old lady who for years has been doing as much good for the prohibition cause as it is possible for her to accomplish. She never tires of her missionary work, which she propo ses in her own way. This is by dis tributing small tracts, containing brief articles of her own composition, which she has caused to be printed in the city. She has distributed thousands of these in the past several years. The one most familiar is the one upon tobacco, which she gives to everyone she observes smoking a pipe or chewing tobacco. Since the campaign has opened she has attached to this one with flour paste made of cold water a tract of similar size, urging the recipient to "come out of the old parties to the Lord's side, and vote only for good pure men. who will make and enforce good laws." The per sistence of the old lady in the cause of her adoption entitles her to great re- spent, which she undoubtedly receives. Lock Complete November 15th. Colonel" J. G. Day says work on the new lock in the canal at the Cascades is progressing satisfactorily.- The eouth wall is completed, and the north wall will be finished within the time speci fied, and the locks will doubtless be opened by November 15tb. Last Sun day the steamer Sadie B., which had come down through the locks, and oh to this city, returned to the Cascades and entered the lower lock. On her way od, in passing around Sheridan point, just bl'low the locks, she ran on a rock, which, owing to the river having fallen three feet since she passed down, was too near the surface. She had impetus enough to drive her over the rock, but plunged her nose well under' as she cleared it. Colonel Day says he- will have anti-friction rollers put on her bot tom before he comes down, again. Ore gon ian. Real Estate Transfers. ORTHERN PACIFIC RY.
