A copy of "Science and Health," with
key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker
G. Eddy, has been kindly donated by a
friend to the Circulating Library. It
will be of interest to those wishing to
. read it, and to know that it can be had
at the library room.
Adiutant-General Tnttle Mondav is
sued his order for the abandonment of
all National Guard companies. By tbe
terms of the order those now in the
United States service have been dis-
charged. All equipments and state
property held by them within the state
are ordered , to oe turned over to the
state. Tbe order was necessary before
the guard could be recognized. This is
the first step towards reorganization.
The Morning Tribnne is dead. As
was supposed by many, this paper was
simply started to run until after tbe
election, and such has proven the case.
It could not have been unexpected, for
of late tbe Tribune people did not try to
keep it up to the high plane on which
they at first intended. Whether or not
it was a paving investment is not
known, but its sudden stop after the
. election does not go to prove that it was
s money-making concern.
Yesterday evening a telephone mes
sage was received from Goldendale stat
ing that H. P. Jackson bad died at that
place, and asking that his son, Hugh
. Jackson, be sent ov?r immediately. Mr.
Jackson had started, with his wife, to
Wapinitia, and a telephone message was
sent to 8-Mile, and be was informed
of tbe sad news on his arrival at that
place. He returned and left for Golden
dale last evening. H. P. Jackson has
lived in Klickitat county for a number
of years, having engaged in farming for
a time and later was city marshal of
Goldendale.
About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
lively runaway took place on Wasbfng
. ton street. Mr. Williams, who drives a
team for Lew Oakes, was loading lum
ber nar the O. R. & N. track, when the
horses started and tore at a lively rate
up to tbe corner of French & Co.'a bank.
At that place they attempted to turn
- down Second street and ran into the G.
A. B. arch. Both of the ' horses were
knocked down, and it took some time to
clear the wreck. When they were un
hitched it was found that a badly
broken tongue and a few slight stretches
on tbe horses were all'the damages au9-
. taioed.

Through a mistake on tbe part of tbe
secretary, tbe Homoeopathic Medical
Society did not meet yesterday. The
regular date for meeting is on tbe second
Tuesday in June, and not the first as
published.
Thomas Fargher, an enterprising
sheep and grain raiser' of tbe Dufur vi
cinity, is in the city. He reports a lack
of rain in that section to insure good
crops. The 'east winds and prevailing
hot weather are playiug bavoc with all
kinds of grain, and if more rain does not
fall this month, a short crop may be
looked for, in spite of the present pros
pects. Yesterday the school board elected
teachers for the ensuing year. The elec
tion is not fully decided but it is thought
tbe result will be as follows: All tbe
former teachers but Miss Snell. wbo has
resigned, will be re-elected, and in ad
dition, Misses M. L. Dontbit, of Port
land, and Fanny U'Ren, of Monmouth.
Prof. Gavin was elected superintendent
of tbe schools and Prof. Landers.'princi
pal of the high school.
Last night the Dalles band turned out
and gave a grand serenade to each of the
successful candidates. Each appeared
and made a fitting speech thanking tbe
band boys for their kindness, as well as
the voters for their assistance in placing
them in their respective positions. The
evening was an ideal one for the sere
nade, and the band continued to make
the rounds of the different residences of
the officers-elect until past 12 o'clock.
Yesterday afternoon about twenty
ladies of tbe Good Intent Society and a
few friends met with Mrs. N. Harris at
ber home on tbe bill. Those present
report one of tbe most pleasant times
they yet enjoyed. Refreshments were
served, and though tbe ice cream made
them forget tbe heated atmosphere for a
time, it was concluded to spend tbe re
mainder of tbe afternoon on tbe lawn,
where it was so delightful that it was
with regret they tore themselves away
from such pleasant surroundings.
Yesterday evening Night-watchman
Wiley and Marshal Lauer made three
arrests of parties considered to have
been stealing odd articles from different
parties around town. Some of tbe arti
cles were found at Arbuckles' second
band store, and there is, every reason to
believe that tbe right men have been
caught. As it was late in the evening
when the arrests were made, the parties
losing tbe goods and Mr. Arbockle have
not identified them as the right men;
but there is little doubt that they are
the ones wanted.
Friday's Daily. ,
C. M. Grimes shipped two carloads of
beef cattle- to tbe Union Meat Co. yes
terday. Ti e name of Jay P. Lucas, of Arling
ton, for register of tbe land office in The
Dalles, and Otis Patterson, of Heppner,
as receiver of public moneys at this
place, were sent to the senate by, the
PEASE & MAYS.
president. These nominations were not
unexpected, but it will nevertheless be a
source of wonder to many why people
outside of Wasco county should be ap
pointed to such positions.
Yesterday morning William Johnston
was tried in Justice Filloon's court for
larceny. He was found guilty and sen
tenced to. thirty days in the county
jail.
William Michel 1 is having bis build
ing, on the corner of Third and Wash
ington, newly painted, and will remodel
the interior. The work being done adds
much to the appearance of the structure.
Yesterday a new sidewalk was built in
front of . the Columbia Candy Factory,
which is a decided improvement and
puts tbe exterior more in accordance
with the neat- interior of that favorite
resort. -
James W. Smith has sold out bis ex
tensive mercantile business after a ca
reer of nearly twenty years in Arlington.
The new firm will be known- as Tbe J.
W. Smith Mercantile Company, and

days. ,
Word was received in Baker City Sun
day, says tbe Republican, that Fred
Sturgill, whose home is near Wingville,
bad been brutally assaulted by the fore
man of a sawmill near La Grande. Stur
gis was working at the n-ill and quit,
and when he ajked the foreman for his
pay he was told to come over to the of
fice. When once there, it is said the
for man whipped out a large revolver
and began beating.him on the head, and
before be was stopped he bad broken
one of Sturgill's arms. Sturgill is in a
critical condition.
A splendid display of art studies, plain
and fancy needlework, embroidery, as
well as compositions, essays and class
work for tbe year at St. Mary's Acade
my and St. Joseph's school will be pot
on exhibit on Saturday, Sunday and
Monday at tbe Academy. Tbe general
public are cordially invited to view the
exhibit during this time.
Last evening the lawn on the north
side of tbe Congregational church was
ongntiy nt Dy uninese lanterns, and a
number of tables were placed around
the yard; while the Junior Endeavorers
flew about among their gpests serving
ice cream and cake. The little ladies
-were not lacking patronage, and must
have added quite a sum to tbeir treas
ury. The largest cattle drive made in Grant
county for some tim6 passed through
Long Creek last Friday. There were
over 2000 head in the band, consisting
chiefly of two and three-rear-old steers,
recently purchased in Grant county by
Mr. Boardman, of Montana. William
Butler has charge of the drove. Fifteen
cowboys and sixty head of saddle horses
were employed in the drive to Pen
dleton. .
Tbe party wbo has purchased tbe old
Catholic church building has finished
tearing it down and is hauling it away.
With it. goes an old landmark and
souvenir of early days in The Dalles.
Its removal improves the appearance of
the new church. Workmen are engaged
in patting down a new sidewalk from
Third street to the church entrance and
in making other improvements around
tbe new edifice.

A SAD ACCIDENT.
A; Edwards Bon Over and Killed at
Heppner Junction,
' A ad accident occurred at about 4 :30
Wednesday morning on the O. R. & N.
line at the little station of Heppner
Junction, which resulted in tbe death
pf C. A. Edwards, of this city.
When the east-bound freight train,
No. 24, on which he was conductor,
pulled into that place, be stepped down
between the cars to uncouple the air
while the train was still in motion. In
some way he missed his footing and fell
between tbe rails, the train passing
over his body, cutting both legs off near
tbe trunk. ,
Everything possible was done for tbe
unfortunate man, bnt he died about
twenty minutes after the accident oc
curred, having never regained conscious
ness. Mr. Edwards baB lived in The Dalles
for about four years, and had. many
friends in this city. He was married,
bis wife lining in Portland, and also be
has relatives in Spokane. Hie father-in-law,
Mr. Harrington, of Eugene, went
up to Ajington, accompanied by Jack
Gallagher, of the O. R. & N., on the
5:20 train last evening, and will take
the remains to Eugene for interment.
Tbe coroner of Gilliam county held an
inquest yesterday morning, but tbe ver
dict has not been received so that we
cannot publish it.
A BAD RUNAWAY.
Two Freight Teams Kan Away on
Bherar's Grade With Serious and
Almost Fatal Results.
Parties coming in from Sberar'e Bridge
Wednesday stated that a serious runaway
occurred on the grade on Jthe west side
of tbe river yesterday. It seems that a
freighter named McKellas and his son
were going down the bill when tbe
brakes on the old man's wagon gave way
and the team started to run. His son
was ahead and when he saw tbe con
dition of things left bis team stand and
ran to meet the runaway team, in tbe
hope of rendering some assistance. The
boy's team, hearing the noise, also
started, and both teams tore down the
grade at a terrible rate.
The father was thrown from the wa
gon and' tbe front wheel passed over his
legs, while the hind wheel of the wagon
passed over his stomach. He was taken
to Chicken- Springs, and Dr. Deitricb
called to attend him. How serious hie
injuries are could "not be learned.
The wagons were badly damaged and
the horses more or less injured, so that
the loss will be considerable.
Mr. McKellar was hauling wool for
Mr. Jones, and at the time of the acci
dent was returning from this city to get
another load.
WEATHER AND CROPS.
A Report of the Weather and Crops in
Eastern Oregon By Pague.
The temperature for tbe week aver
aged 50, which was 3 lower than for
tbe preceeding week, and 7 lower than
for the corresponding week of last year.
Tbe highest tenrperatute occurred today,
ranging from 80 to 90 ; the lowest . oc
curred on May 31st, being 40 in the Co
lumbia river valley and 30 over the
Plateau regin. The rain-fall ranged in
amount from one-fourth to three-fourths
of an inch, and it was very well distrib
uted. The rains have been of tbe greatest
benefit. As nsual, less rain fell in Wasco
and Gilliam counties, and in the nor
thern portion of Morrow county, than
elsewhere. Sherman county had good
showers. Over tbe great wheat belt of
Umatilla county the showers were suf
ficient for all present needs. Fall and
winter sown grain cap now be injured
only by hot easterly winds. Tbe winds
have been warm and from the east yes
terday and today, but tbey were not in
jurious. Xhe- spring sowing oi grain is
in a better condition than usual at its
present stage.
The fruit crop is' promising. Large
shipments of berries have been made
from Hood River. The season will be
at its height this week. Cherries are
ripening rapidly and are being shipped
eastward to the mountain sections of the
country.
Over the Plateau region vegetation is
not so far advanced. The rains have
been of benefit and conditions are flat
tering for all products. .'Throughout the
stock country, tbe range food is good
and the hay crop will be large.
A correspondent in Malheur county
says:
'The rain was of benefit. Many fields
which - would have been a failure wi'l
now make hay. Lambing is oyer; it is
(foe largest on record ninety per' cent
being the average-for ibe country, an
onprescedented incrsase. In tbe south
eastern portion of the country, where
they depend on large wild bay meadows,
the bay crop will be short. Sheep will
shear at least one pound more than last
year, and it is better wool. : Cattle are
fat."
Oregon crop conditions may be sum
marized as present prospects never were
better; everything indicates large crops
and a successful year.

TRULY A REPUBLICAN ELECTION
The Right Side Wins Overwhelmingly
Both in County and State.
In Wasco county, as in the entire
state, a rousing Republican victory is
recorded. Judge Bradshaw, the Union
nominee for 'the circuit bench, has been
elected by a fair majority ; but this is
principally on account of his popularity
as a judge and tne nost ot personal
friends be has all over the district.
There are some doubts about other
candidates, as full reports are not yet in,
but there is little fear that any great
change will be made when they are re
ceived.
In the local offices Charles E Bayard
was elected justice by a majority of 57
votes; while Frank Hill, a Democrat,
was elected by a majority of 190 votes,
which provos the popularity of the man
among the citizens of Tbe Dalles.
The returns from Antelope have not
yet arrived, which prevents us from giv
ing the total number of votes received
by each candidate in the table.

Shooting scrape at Antelope.
Thursday's Daily.
News reached here today of a shoot-
ing Bcrape at Antelope, from the result
of which Murdock MciCay of the that
place may loose bis life.
It appears tnat McKay and a man by
the name of William Rolf are in part
nership in the saloon business, and
Rolf and a man named Reese got into
an altercation in tbe eaioon. McKav
attempted to stop the fight, and while
doing so Rolf's pistol was discharged,
the ball entering McKay's side below
the heart and ranged downward toward
tbe abdomen. Tbe wound is very dan
gerous and his chances for recovery are
considered very poor. Tuesday morn
ing he was alive but in a critical condi
tion. Rolf had a hearing in tbe justice court
and was bound over to appear before tbe
grand jury under $20,000 bonds.
McKay is a peaceful citizen of Ante
lope while Rolf is a quarrelsome charac
ter and has been mixed up in like
scrapes of a less serious nature beiore.
Tho Eureka saloon had been leased by
them and so tar as known their business
relations were friendly, which leads to
the belief that tbe shooting was acci
