torney under Hall. Mr. Mays will suc
ceed . Charles J. . Schnabel, who has re

- Yesterday morning J. C. O'Leary,

- James Swart, a Pendleton anglar,
cought alarge three-pound Iew England

certainly worth more than this amount

should bid this low and be out of pocket
irrorder to secure the contract.
A rumor was afloat Monday evening
that Sampson's fleet had been disabled.
However this is considered a Spanish
canard, and the American people will
not swallow such trash until the report
is corroborated by more reliable author
ity than Madrid dispatches. Rumors
are the order ot the age, but if yon
should hear it rumored that Dad, Butts
has got the only bargains in real estate,
you may believe it, and don't wait for a
dispatch from Hong Kong to corrobo
rate the fact, bat walk up to the office of
Dufur & Dufur, and Dad Butts' dispatch
boat will meet yon with detailed infor
mation. Within 10 days, George A. Houck &
Co., cattle dealers of Monroe,' Lane
county, are to deliver to an Eastern
buyer 1100 head of stock cattle. The
buyer is A. H. Arnett, and his pur
chases in Oregon are for the North
Dakota ranges. The delivery is to be
made on the arrival of Arnett from the
East at Corvallia and Monroe. The
cattle have been gathered up by the
local buyers during the last six months,
400 havinct been wintered in the vicinity
of Monroe. They are to be taken East
by rail, and will make a very full train
load. The prices at which the transfer
will be made have not been made public.
At 7:30 last evening tbe fife and dram
corps of this city turned out and
marched through the principal streets
in order to draw a crowd to hear "Cy
clone" Davis, of Texas. There success
was not marked, however, for a rather
small audience were present to hear the
advocate of free silver. This meeting
was like tbe one held by Will R. King in
Heppner Saturday night. -Little enthu
siasm was shown and it seemed that
there was something in Davis' calamity
howling that did not please bis listeners.
During tbe bard times ot a few years
ago our people might have lent an ear
to his talk, but with 'the existing good
times under the present administration
they gave a deaf ear to him. - - -
Deputy County Clark Walter Ruble
of Whitman county appeared before
Judge McDonald Monday to show cause
why be should not be punished for con
tempt. Through his attorney, be moved
for a change of venue, filing an - affidavit
that Judge McDonald bad bitter per
sonal enmity against him, and for nearly
a year had been trying to have him die-charged-
from his position as deputy
county clerk. Judge McDonald stated
that he believed Ruble's affidavit was it
self contemps of court. Prosecuting At
torney Matthews was instructed ' to file
an information and have Ruble brought
to trial for contempt of court.- Tbe case
will be beard tomorrow morning. '

for them to go to another paper to have
the error corrected. We pride ourselves
on doing correct work and do not wish
to be charged up with tbe mistakes of
others. " '

Lawrence Manning who intended to
give a musical in this city last evening
evidently feared that his venture would

that fact. . -:

The directors of the Northwest Fire

Two traveling acrobats arrived in the
city vesterday and last evening gave a
performance on the square on Second
and Court streets. The performance
was very good and a large crowd was en
tertained. The only recompense re
ceived was what they got when the hat
was passed around, which we daresay
was sufficient to keep them until they
reach another station.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. S. L. Brooks
entertained the members of tbe ladies'
Aid Society of ' the Congregational
church, and with them a number of the
ladies of tbe Good Intent Society of the
Methodist church. A most pleasant

last year, but the quality is very fine,
Mr. Hanthorn says there will hardly be
an average pack this season. The pack
of chinooks will be much lighter than

be greater, as the ran of that epeices is
now better that it was at any time last
season.

' Yesterday morning at about the time

force noticed a blaze in the west end and
at once turned in an alarm. On inves
tigation, however, it was fonnd unneces

MRS. JOHNS DEAD.
Still Another or Tbe Dalles' Noblest,
Women Is Claimed by Death.
Word was received. Tuesday that
Mrs. Johns, . wift! of our well-known,

T 1 I . i t - . , i

was born in Wales about 58 years ago.
When she was 21 years old she married
Thomas Johns, and twenty-seven years
aeo thev came ta this ennntv. and
eleven . years later they came to The
Dalles, so that they have lived here
about sixteen years. ,
For about three months she has been
ailing, and a few weeks ago she and Mr.
Johns went to Spokane to visit their
daughter, Mrs. John O'Neil, hoping the
change would be beneficial; bat the
hope proved a vain one, and for the
past week she baa been sinking rapidly.
Mrs. Johns was one of those kind,
motherly women, who by her good
natured, helpful manner made everyone
feel that the world would be much
better off were all women so devoted to
their homes and the good of those
around them. She was a devoted
Christian, and a member of the Baptist
church, so that not only will she be
missed by her family, her friends and
neighbors, but in the work of the church.
to which she belonged.
She leaves," beside her husband, six

Among the passengers who boarded
tbe Regulator Thursday morning at
Portland was a man who evidently had
become tired of this life, and Boon made
up his mind to end his struggles by
drowning himself in tbe Eeething waters
of the Columbia river.
He was a middle-aged man, about 5
feet, 8 inches in height, dark grey eyes,
dark hair, sprinkled with grey ; he wore
about a week's growth of whiskers, and
his mustache was inclined to be dark.
He appeared to be a laboring man, bat
was very slim and sickly looking, and
certainly not able to work very hard.
Those who noticed bim particularly
say that he acted strangely, and moved
about tbe boat as if somewhat dazed.
About midway between Warrendale
and McGowan's cannery he was noticed
to go aft, descend the ladder, and before
his'intention was surmieed by tbe few
who saw him, jumped overboard.
The water seemed to revive him, and
he appeared to start for shore, as if re- -
gretling the rash act and still clinging
to life; but his efforts were vain.
As soon as the cry' of "Man over
board 1" was heard, boats were lowered
and every effort made to rescue him;,
but he Hunk before aid could reach bim.
and his body was carried away by the
waves.
His hat was left on the step, and in it
was found a ticket to The Dalles ; bat
no clew to his name nor anything re
garding the man could be found.
