A Washington dieputcb says the
changing of the star routes from The
Dalles to Prineville, on account of the
inauguration of railway mail service
over the Columbia Southern, will make
necessary the advertising for a new
service from The Dalles to Sherar's
Bridge, and also from Shaniko to Prine
ville, via Antelope. In the estimates

sire to avail themselves of such service.

a shirt, necktie, collar and a pair of sus
penders, all new from the store, had
been stolen out of his wagon in an EaBt
End feed yard a short time before he
started for home. Before settling his
bill at the yard office Mr. Bolton had
talked of a horse trade to two gypsies,
who belong to a party camped on the
old fair grounds. Mr. Bolton at once
suspected the gypsies of the theft and
returning back to town had a search
warrant issued from Justice BrownhiU's
office and placed in the hands of Deputy
Sheriff Sexton, who, assisted by Marshal
Hughes, made a thorough search of the
gypsy camp, but without discovering
the stolen goods. Mr. Bolton is confi
dent the gppsies were the thieves, as
they were the only persons in the yard
during the short time that intervened
between his talk with the gypsies and
bis return from the office after settling
his bill, when the goods must have
been stolen.

Roger Sinnott Is able to appear in
public today for the first time in ten
days, wherein he has been confined to
his room suffering from a very severe
dose of poison oak. He came In contact
with it like many others, through not
knowing it, and baying admired its
beauty to the extent that he plucked a
bunch cf it for a nosegay, What Rug.
does not now know about poison oak is
not worth knowing.
A special grape-vine telegram to Thb
Chronicle informs us of a hold up that
occurred a short time ago in the other
wise respectable precinct of Columbia.
A. E. Lake, the republican candidate
for county clerk, was the victim, but
the amount extracted from him is only
known to himself. While a picnic was
in progress at that place a few days ago
thirty women surrounded him and pre
sented bim with a written demand that
he furnish ice cream and peanuts for
the whole outfit. He is the pink of gal
lantry, and it is needless to say those
women had ice cream and peanuts till
they cried quits.
Wool-Grnwara' Meeting.
FUSIONISM RIPPED UP THE BACK
Wool-erowers of Oregon will convene
at The Dalles Saturday, in answer to a
call fioin President George A. Young
and Secretary F. W. Wilson. The pur
pose of the meeting will be to discuss
the disposal of this year's clip and allot
ment on the reserve for the coming
summer.
In the respects named, tho meeting
will be an important one. Superintend
ent Ormsby, of the Cascade reserve, will
he present, and make the allotments.
The question of price for the wool clip
will not be serioosiy considered, except
to have a general understanding that
growers will not consign their goof's.
Thi! would be the means of avoiding
nseless competition and make the buy
ers pav CAf.h on delivery.
The understanding is not for the pur
pose Jof forming any pool or combina
tion, as each grower remains free to sell
hi! clip for any of the rnling market
prices, so long as he gets the cash on
delivery and does not make consign
ment!. Mala.

Thry THtuk ,.f Tho in. I
I
r":i Jay's Pally, j
Tiie tpei-cht-a of the middle ofthe- j
I road populist at the Baldwin last night
! were the severest arraignment of Bry-
j ampin and Ivmibon democracy .e
; Dalles t.hs ever listened to. The fores
of the arraignment consisted in it-i ab
solute conformity to the truih of his
tory. The men spke not id the bastard
derooeracy of tho north and west, but cf
genuine Bourhonisui as they knew it
on its native heath.
The courtesy of the -t.eeting was ex
tended to Miss Morrow, a representative)
oi the ?ittoiial buOYage Association,
who made an earnest plea fur the suf
frage amendment to the Oregou consti
tution. Mr. Osborne followed. He arraigned
the Bourbons of the south for disfran
chising the Negro, and pointed out that
in his own state of Georgia 140,000 of
them bad been deprived of the ballot
through a law that demanded as a qual
ification for voting that the voter must
swear that he bad paid all back taxes
since 1873. . He held that Bryanite free
silver was twice as bad as the gold
Standard, and that the Bryanite system
of a national currency was twice as bad
as the republican national bank cur
rency. In spite of all the Bryanite zeal
for an Increased per capita, there was
uot a dollar of any kind f money in
circulation in the United States that the
democratic party had authorized. Dem
ocrats and populists were as wide nBtiu
der as the pole'. They were going
different ways. One was going east, the
other west ; one north, the other south j
one to heaven, the other to hell. The
populists of the south had made it pos
sible for a man south cf Mason and
Dixon's to vote an independent ticket
and live. The democratic party was
always for . reform when it was in the
minority, and always against reform
when in the majority. Here it was iu
favor of direct legislation ; in the south
it was bitterly opposed to it. He and
Congressman Howard were acenssed of
working in the pay of the republicans.
There were two of them against four
southerners in the pay of the fusionists.
If Bryanism could support four, Mark
Hanua could surely afford to support
two. General Weaver and Cyclone
Davis don't live on wind. He had left
the democratic party forever. He felt
toward that party as an emigrant from
Kansas did, who, after living two years
in that state, printed on the prairie
schooner that was bearing hiui out of it :
Fare thee well oM Kansas,
1 bill you a (mid adieu.
I May rro In hell or Texas
But 1 11 mvur come back to you.
He would not vote the fusion ticket if
they had Christ for a candidate and the
ten commandments for a platform for
the democrats would afterwards crucify
the candidate and repudiate the platform.
He predicted that Netiraska would go re
publican and bury Bryan and fusioniam
forever. Fusion had been the curse of
populism. It alone had made republi
can ascendancy possible, as long ns
populism stood apart from Bourboniam
it prospered as no political party ever
did. In Oregon and California ftiMon
had killed populism till you could hard
ly smell the remains.
Ex-Congressman Howard followed.
He held that fusion was illogical and
hixhoneet. It was simply an organized
appetite lor pelf. The democrats and
populists were only agreed on one prop
osition,- 10 to 1, and they were not
agreed on that. In 169ti twenty-three
democratic states had passed resolutions
indorsing th wise administration of
Grover Cleveland, and if there was any
thing that distinguished the Cleveland
administration it was its intense opposi
tion to free coinage of silver. Mr.
Howard wbs in favor of government
ow nership id public ntilities but he con
tended that the trusts had come to stay.
Bryan would license them. The popu
lists would put them under government
control the moment they become a
monopoly. That was the true remedy
for the trusts. The populists were in
lavor of direct legislation. The d -mo
cials favored it only in state! where
they were in the minoritv. In a num
ber of eastern states the democrats were
bitterly opposed to free silver. There
are no democrats in the wet-t. The
genuine old Bonrlmn, who never learns
and never forgets, is only to he found in
the South. Democratic rant about lin
iwrialism was a itcluiion and a sham.
They were lighting windmills and thev
knew it. We had expanded and it was
now a queetlon of policy what we should
do with our new possession. When
William Jennings Bryan deserted his
regiment and rushed to Washington
and persuaded a necessary number of
democrats to vote for the ratification of
the treaty that put us in possession
of the Philippines, at that moment the
question of expansion was settled for all
time. There were enough of senators
opposed to the treaty to have defeated
it if Bryan bad kept his fingers out of
the pie.
Mr. Howard spoke flatteringly of
Charley Towne, but predicted that the
Kansas City convention would turn him
down and nominate an eastern man who
would he known to be Secretly opposed
to fiee silver. He predicted that the
democrats would nominate a cold bug
for president in 1904 on practically a
gold standard platform. The great
trouble with the democratic party was,
you never know w hero to find it. Bad
as republicanism was, yon could tell
whit it Hauls for. The democratic
party was simply nn auti part anti
gold standard, atiti-pioteclion, nnt'-cx-paiisiun,
anti pro.-peiiiy, anti-everything.
It lives in the past. You people
out west talk of your great country,
good times, eic. ; down south the Bour
bon "talks only of thing, that are dead
and gone forever.
THE TROUT LAKE TRAGEDY.

A UNIQUE TABLET.
roiitalulnit Abrnhuii Llnooln'a rao
Aitilrr at Colt jiburf, I88:t.
From an advauce copy of ihe Agricul
turist, kindly mailed us by the editor
we learn the following additional par
ticulars of the death of Ida Foes at the
hand of Ben Wagniti at Trout Like last
Sunday. The Agriculturist had them
from the coroner, Win. Hart, who had
just returned from the scene of the
tragedy.
Mr. Hart says that on Sunday even
ing about 7:15, Mr. Wagnitz and Miss
Foss, who was teaching school at Trout
Lake ami boarded with the Wagnlls
family, were out walking and were met
by County Supt. C. L. Colburn and
wife near the bridge crossing the Trout
Lake outlet. Wagnitz and the young
lady' seemed to be quite happy. Mr.
Colburn and wife shook hands with
them and then drove on to Mr. Pear
son's, ueur by, for the night.
Mr. Wagnitz anil the young lady then
returned home. The (ainilyconsisted
of Mrs. Wagnitz and two runs, Benja
min and August, the husband of Mrs.
Wagnitz residing in Portland. The
mother and son, August, were at the
time out a short distance from the house
attending to the milking of the cows.
She and her son,shoitly after tho ar
rival home of Mr. Wagnitz and Miss
Foss, heard a loud tcrenm, followed im
mediately by the report of a rifle. The
mother and con rushed to where they
could see the house and saw Wagnitz,
with gun in hand, leaning over the body
of Mies Fuss, who was Iving on the
ground, apparently dead.
Wagnitz then stood up and waved the
gun in the air and called to his mother
to come, saying that Miss Foss wished
some water. The mother, however, and
son, August, would not approach, being
afraid of Wagnitz, but went to the home
of Mr. Pierson close bv. The reason of
this, Coroner Hart learned, was that
Wai'nitz had on several occasions
threatened to shout hh mother and
brother, and they dared uot go near
him. She did, before going to Piersons,
so it was learn-'d, say to Wagnits that If
he wool 1 throw awav the rifle she would
come, which he declined to do. As she
left she heard him sav, "Oh, what have
I done! What have I done!" In a few
minutes a Becond shot was heard and
Wagnitz fell dead by his own hand.
Miss Foss was shot in the back, the
bullet going entirely through the body
and through the right lung. Wagnitz
had placed the butt of the rifle on the
ground, with tho muzzle pressed against
his heart, and then touched the trigger
with a small foot rule. Thus ended the
life of these young people, Mr. Wagnitz
being 27 years of ne and Miss Foss 2").
PLEASURES OF THE METROPOLIS
Old llurea Got on a Jaiuhurca at Port

Thursday's Daily
It blows Bouie in Portland too. We
had a stiff little gale here yesterday,
but we're used to that kind of thing nnd
thought nothing of it. Portland, how
ever, seems to have had an experience
such as wo never have here at all. De
scribing it today's Oregonian says in
part :
"A little after noon the cyclone got
eav. and broke boughs and twigs off
shade trees, tried to tear awnings down,
and made things lively all over town.
It had a fair sweep on the river, and
jollied np all who crossed the bridges.
"Traffic on the Portland Railway Com
pany and the Portland Tiaction Com
pany was interrupted for nearly three
hours. Both lines receive their power
from the plant of the Portland General
Electric Company at Oregon City,
which failed to keep np the supply of
electricity on account of the extremely
hih winds. The Vansouver cars were
delayed only a short time, receiving
power from the plant at Sellwood.
"A street-car loaded with passengers
was delayed ly an open draw on the
Morrison street bridge, and a wagon
load of sawdust drew up alongside of it.
The wind blew the sawdust out of the
wagon and into the car, through the
ventilators, completely covering the
passengers, who, after all their brush
ing and dusting, looked as if they bad
been out in a wooden snow storm.
"As an expressman was crossing the
steel bridge, tho wind blew hi! horse
blanket and other things out of his
w agon. A passer caught them as they
were going over the railing, and as the
expressman rose to receive them the
wind picked hla overcoat and cushion
out of his seat and carried them aw ay
over toward the terminal grounds. The
expressman was afraid to leave his horse
and wagon on the bridge to go after
them, and they are probably in Klon
dike or Mexico by this time, for the
wind diil not know which way U was
blowing. If the rain and wind will take
a rest, the city will, take care of the
streets."
! The society for ethical rultu-e hit In
j iis h.,itse in New York a tablet in broca
I contain:'! tne famous addles of Abra
ham Lincoln. In tv.'ry paiticular the
work is thoroughly American. Tha
tablet Is cf bmnz, neirly three feet
square, ni;pcrted by seven consule, en
riched with blue eyed grass decoration!.
The address is iu Doric characters, and
the signature is a fine re ro luction
of that of the martyred president.
Modeled up the frim are the corps
badges of those who tuok part la tha
battle. The first U reprereu'id by a
disk; the second by a shamrock ; tho
third by a diamond ; the fifth by mal
tese cross; the eleventh by a crescent,
and the twelfth by a star. Intertwined
with these are American wild flowers,
blue-eyed grass, Oswego mint, prim
rose and arrow head, also a dainty
wreath of laurel. The tablet rest! upon
a slab of highly polished Pennsylva
nia serpentine, most appropriate aa the
battle was fought iu that state.
Altogether the scheme Is unique, and
will be an attractive spot, terving to
keep before the icembers a speech that,
for inspired patriotism, choice composi
tion and Hinptii'itr of expression bas
never been surpassed.
rilK AD1IHK9S.
Four score and seven years go out
fathers brought forth upon this conti
nent a new nation, conceived in liberty
and dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created free and .equal.
Now, we are engaged in a great civil
war, testing whether that nation, or
any nation so conceived an I dedicated,
can long endure. We aro met on a
great battlefield of thai war. We have
come to dedicate a portion of that field
as a final resting place for those who
here gave their lives that that nation
might live. It Is altogether tilting and
proper that we should do this. But, in
a linger sense, we cannot dedicate, we
cannot c macerate, we cannot hallow
this ground. Too brave men, living
and dead, w ho struggled bote have con
secrated it, far abovo our power to add
or detract.
The world will little note, nor long re
member what we say here, but it can
never forget what they did here. It is
for us, the living, rather to be dedicated
here to the unfinished work which tbey
who fought here have thus far so nobly
advanced. It is rather for us here to be
dedicated to the 'great task remaining
before us, that from these honored dead
we take increased devotion to that
cause for which they gave the last full
measure of devotion ; that we here high
ly resolve that these dead shall not have
died In vain; that this nation, under
God, shall have a new birth of freedom,
nnd that the government of the people,
by the people, ami for the people, Bhall
not perish from the earth.
