which part of the county will be watered
next season.
Prof. Hall delivered hiB lecture on

large and appreciative audience. Many
of his hearers say that his lecture was
one of the best of the kind that has ever
bten delivered in the city.
Last night's trains all went through
on time, which goes to prove that the
blockade was not so serious as it might
have been. The only train that was
late since yesterday morning was the
Portland express, which arrived this
morning about one hour behind time.
We are sorry to announce the danger

A firce of linemen in charge of Gen
eral Foreman E. f . Young, of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, left
Tacoma Monday for the Cascade tunnel,
where a lead cable will be put under

system of crossing the divide by means
of the switchback.

is certainly a wonderful man in. hypno
tism and mesmerism, and as seeing is
believing, everyone should endeavor to
have their doubts relieved as to these
occult sciences.
Deputy United States Marshal Bent
ley arrived in Portland from Pendleton
Monday night, having in custody Jim
Barnbart and Little Salmon, Indians
under indictment for stealing cattle on
the Umatilla reservation. The crime,
which consisted of appropriating about
forty head of cattle belonging to other
Indians, is alleged to have been com
mitted about two weeks ago. No time
hag yet been set for their trial.
The United States grand jury has been
investigating the charge made against
Julian Epping and others of conspiring
to rob the money-order department of
the Portland postoffice. Mr. and Mrs.
Gautler were testifying in the matter
Monday. Of course, no one outside of
the grand jury room knowswhat the re
sult is to be, but there were men around
the courthouse yesterday Willing to bet
that Epping will not be indicted.
Indian Commissioners Barge, Hoyt
and McNeely have left North Yakima
for Utah, where they will endeavor to
arrange a treaty with the Indians on the
Uintah reservation. Their headquarters
will be at Fort Du Chesne. They will
probably be absent several months, al

the nature of the woik demanded of
them, as they go in response to a brief
telegram from Secretary Bliss, which
requested immediate departure.
Mr. John Brookhouse of Dufur had

discovered. This is the second overcoat
that has been stolen this week, as Geo.
Dufur'e was stolen a few nights since.
Today while Frank Branner and an
other youngter were coasting down the
cut, the sled ran under the feet of Tom
Maloney's horse, scaring the same and
causing bim to kick ferociously at the
boys. One of the horse's hoofs struck
the Branner boy on the back of the head,
cloee to the base of the brain, laving
bare the scull, and rendering bim
insensible. Dr. Hollister sewed up the
cut, and the little fellow is 'getting along
nicely. The other boy, whose name we
did not learn, was also injured, but not
seriouslv.
Today Mrs. T. J. Seufert beat the
ladies' record at the club alleys by fifteen
pins. The previous record, which was
49, was held by Misses Alma Schanno

spare ; in the second, third, fourth and
fifth, strikes; sixth, two pins ; seventh,
a spare; eighth, a strike; ninth, a spare,
and tenth, a strike and one pin, making

exceptionally high record among the
ladies, and it may take'soine time before
it ia broken.
Last night, after being out about
twelve hours, the jury in the Cederson
case brought in a verdict for $5000 dam
ages, this being the amount sued for and
the highest damages the law allows in
the Btate for the life of an individual.
There is quite a difference between this
verdict and the E00-dollar one rendered
a short time ago in the Watkins case,
which goes to show how likely a Jury is

Yesterday three carloads of fine hogs
were forwarded from this place to th
Union Meat Co. at Troutdale. They
were the property of Kiddle Bios.,
Union, Or.
Word was received from Mrs. Bribes
today stating that Neddy's condition
seemed to be somewhat improved, but
still very little hopes are entertained for
his recovery.
A movement is on foot to organize an
athletic class among the members of the
club. This would be a very commenda
ble move, and would not only enhance
the popularity of the club, but also
arouse more interest on the part of the
members ia the gymnasium.
Several hop sales were reported in the
vicinity of Sllverton last week. Louie
Ames and Charles McKinlcy sold fifty
seven bales for 10 cents a pound. Mr.
Blakely sold bis hops for 10 cents. Pal
mer Bros, sold a lot. . The prices ranged
from 10 cents to 12 cents a pound.
This evening the Kathbone Sisters
will give a dancing party in their hall,
and there is no doubt that all who de
sire to spend a pleasant evening will
attend. The Rath bones have a well
earned reputation of being good entertainer.-,
and to miss this would be to
overlook a good thing.
This morning County Clerk Kelsay
issued a marriage license to Chas A.
Bell and Miss Lucy Ellison, both of
Hood River. Mr. Bell is the proprietor
of . the hotel at that rjiace. while Miss
Ellison is a daughter of the former sta
tion agent. Their friends in this place
wish them the full meaeure of success,
and happiness galore.
The Astorian learns that one of Clat
sop county's best farmers, and one who
has i-teen most successful, has determ
ined to leave the county and settle in
the Willamette valley, because of the
difficulty of getting to market over the
present roads. He is the last of a colony
of twenty who tried to locate there. This
is a strong argument lor better roads.
Reports came to the state deportment
Tuesday afternoon from Hayti to the
efiVct t hat there was considerable' ex
citement there, and that the situation
was grave. For this reason it was de
termined to hasten the departure of the
Marblebead, and naval officials were
communicated with. The impression
seemed to prevail in Port au Prince that
a German warship was approaching the
place. -. -.. '
YeBterday afternoon in the case of
Sprowl vs. The Dalles National Bank, a
jury was selected and the case was be
ing stated to the jurors, when the at
torneys found that an error was made
and that the complaint did not agree
ows
with the original one presented to the
attorneys for the defense, and the latter
were not prepared to try the case on
those grounds. As this - was the last
case on the docket it was postponed un
til the next term of court. This being
the only case left reqniriDg a jury trial,
the jurors were dismissed, and those
who live out of town have gone to their
respective homes. There were some
other cases on the docket which were
read and disposed of today, and this
ends the' October term of court, which
was the longest and most tedious we
have had for a considerable time. ' ' '
The writ mandate applied for by the
attornevs of Darrant to compel Judge
Bahra to set a date for. the trial of the
case for the murder of Minnie Williams
was denied by the supreme court at
San Francisco Tuesday. This means
that there will be no interference with
the decree in the Lamont case, and it
now begins to look as if Durrant will
have to expiate his crimes at a date
sooner than his attorneys anticipated.
The price of wheat eeerns to have
come to a standstill, as it ban been sell
ing for 72 cents for a considerable time.
The bulk cf the crop has already
changed hands and been shipped, and
but a few farmers can afford to. bold on
much longer in order to sptcaluteon
higher prices. Wheat may mnke a
slight raise, but it is more probable that
it will make a big drop before the new
year begins. Thoee who are waiting for
80 cents will be likely to sell for 50,
while those who got 75 cents had better
feel satisfied.
The Yan Pelts, seven in number, who
were implicated in the killing of 'A,
Coolidge, near Cbetco, Curry county,
recently have been captured and at the
preliminary examination waived exami
nation and all were taken to the county
jail at Gold Beach, the county seat of
Curry county, to await the action of the
grand jury on the charge of murder. It
is said that the next grand jury of Cur
ry county will not meet until September
of the coming year. Win. Brown, the
man who was shot in the leg at the time
that Coolidge was killed, is improving
and will soon be able to leave Creecent
City, where he now is, for Silverton,
Marion county.
Taxes in Clarke county, Wash., for
1806 become delinquent today. Yes
terday being the last day for paying
taxes before the penalty was added, the
county treasurer's office was besieged
all day by large crowds of taxpayers
Probably one-third of the cash received
this month was for delinquent taxes of
1894 and 1895, a great many persons
having taken advantage of the provision
of the new revenue law remitting the
penalty and reducing the interest on all
payments made for those years prior to
December 1st. From present indica
tiops, the amount of delinquent taxes
this year will be smaller in that county
than for a number of years past.
The Tacoma News says that among
the steamer Rosalie's passengers were
two men, A. Kelsey and W. E. Sproat,
ibey are partner prospectors going
north to winter at Juneau, and later
strike across the mountains for Dawson.
Both are now married, bnt up to the day
he started from Tacoma Sproat was a
bachelor. He lived in Eastern Oregon,
where he was employed as operator on
the O. R. & N. He was engaged to an
Arlington girl, whom he expected to
wed at Christmas. The Alaska fever
struck him and Kelsay at the same time,
and they decided to leave at once for
Juneau. JuBt before they boarded the
train for Tacoma, Sproat made up his
mind to take no chances, but to make
sure of his girl before he left. She
agreed, and they were married and
parted in a short time. The. men ex
pect to go to Dawson early in the spring,
and later have their wives join them by
way of St. Michaels.
Joseph McYey, who was sandbagged
and robbed of $200 in Horn brook, ia
slowly recovering from the effects of the
assault. He has not so fully regaieed
consciousness, at last reports, as to give
a detailed account of the crime, and as
he is yet somewhat dazed, the doctors
will not allow him to be questioned.
When found McVey was placed across
the rails of the track after the style of
the incident in Augustin Daly's drama,
"Under the Gaslights," by the perpe-,
trators of the dastardly crime, with the
hope, evidently, on the part of the high
waymen, that a train would come dash
ing along and conceal their awful crime.
The people of Siskiyou county are much
wrought up over the affair and are de
termined to bring the guilty parties to
a swift retribution, if they can be found.
With a commendable prompt ness Sher
iff Hobba has offered a reward of $300
for any information that may lead to the
arrest and conviction of the robbers.

The man who stole W. H. Wilson's
typewriter, sold the same to the North
ern furniture store for $3.00. It must
have been stolen about supper time
Wednesday eveninig, as he sold it at
7 o'clock. From the time that he sold
the machine until the robbery was re
ported to the authorities yesterday noon,
he bad a chance to get out on a number
of trains, and there is little hopes that
he will be captured for bis crime.
It is with reluctance that we find fault
with the workings of our city govern
ment; but there is one thing certain.
and that is that we have a number of
defective c-oss walks in our city, some of
which are on the principal streets, ai.d
it would be a very commendable act to
have them repaired before the winter
setsm. Besides the danger of injury to
persons who continually use those walk?,
the city is running a risk of a damage
suit by such criminal carelessness, and
they should, by all means, have the
same repaired immediately, and proba
bly in this way aave much expense.

A BOLD ROBBERY.
W. H.
Wilson's Office Broken Into Last
Some time during the night a daring
thief broke into the law office of W. H.
Wilson and stole a typewriter out of his
desk. He entered by removing the ;
transom over the door and crawling
through, when he unfastened the latch,
from the inside and opened the door.
The marks where hie feet rested on the
molded when he climbed up to the hole
through which he entered, and on the
other side as he lowered himself to the
floor, can be plainly seen. The most re- -markable
thing about the whole affair
is that he did not touch anything except
the machine, although there were
stamps and other articles in the desk
which could be turned into mcney.
Mr. Wilson came to his office late this
morning and did not mies the stolen
article until almost noon. At first he
thought that someone bad bid it for a
joke. Diligent search and the discov
ery that the transom was wrenched from '
its fastenings on one side proved, how
ever, that a robbery had been committed.
Mr. Wileoa reported the matter to the
police, but as there is no clue, and as he -is
doubtful whether or not he could poe- .
itively identify his property, it will be
a bard matter to find the guilty party or
the stolen typewriter.
