While in Burns recently Mr. Millis,
who is livestock agent for the Oregon
Railway & Navigation Company, stated
that never during his acquaintance with
the stockmen of Eastern Oregon bad he
found them so free of financial cares as
at this time, says the Harney County
News.
Cororrr W. H. Butts had this fore
noon another of those violent and pain'
ful attacks that be has been subject to
at irregular intervals ever since he was
nearly killed by coming in contact with
an express team about a year ago. He
was taken to his home and was very ill
at last accounts.
The greatest overturning In the whole
country is in the case of Utah. In 1896
that new state gave Bryan 64,007 votes,
and McKinley only 13,491. This year
it went for McKinley by a plurality of
about 4000, and the republicans also se
cured the state offices and the legisla
ture, which will elect a United States
senator.
The circuit court was occupied most
of the day with the case of the State vs.
William Kelly, who was charged with
larceny of clothing from the store of
E. J. Collins A Co., of this city. The
evidence was wholly circumstantial.
The case was given to the jury this
afternoon and no agreement had been
reached at the hour of going to press.
It is possible that during the next four
years the "social democrats" of this
campaign will grow to be a considerable
party, and that Bryan will be their can
didate for president in 1904. A very
large proportion of the men who have
been following Bryan will never no back
to Cleveland, Whitney, Hewitt, Dickin
son and J. Sterling Morton. Telegram.
A phenomenon is reported from Me
hama. In the fog of election morn
man named Taylor Marion Taylor
cast his optic toward the rising son and
had a suggestive vision.' McKinley
seated on one side, held In his hand four
aces, and on the other side of that lu
minary sat Bryan with four jacks. Tay
lor went to the polls convinced that Mc
Kinley had a clear track. He gave out
the word to his friends it was no use to
fate any other way, and subsequent

P. T. Sharp, of Three Mile, was quite
severely injured this morning while
working with a fractious horse in a plow
'fain. How it happened Mr. Sharp is
tiimb'e to tell, but his hired man found,
him prostrate in front of the team ami
lnattaof utter collapse. Mr. Sharp
was carried to the huuse w hile a mes
senger rushed to town fur a physician.
Dr. Krdieliunn responded with nil speed
nd found the old gentleman suffering
intense pain In tho region of the breast,
where he had evidently been kicked.
Happily no bones were broken and be
fore the doctor left his patient he had
(lie satisfaction of finding him restored
tf complete consciousness, while his
P'll'o was very much improved. Mr.
"harp i( 75 j.er, c HjH the doctor
ays the evident violence of the concus-
ion prod need by the kick would have
killed many a younger uian. The doctor
anticipates no serious results, as he it
satisfied hit patient nas received no ,

! The matter ot securing early govern-1
ment action npon the Construction of '
the projected Dalles-Celiio caual it again i
receiving the ea-nest consideration of !
the Portland chamber of commerce and ;
will bu made a matter of special busi- ;
nets at a special meeting to be field next 1
Tuesday. The members are practically I
unanimous in favor of a cana1 and lockt !
as the only adequate and practical per-!
manent improvement, and the abaudon-I
merit of the boat raiiwat schemes. As
a portage railway will be indispensable
as an adjunct tu the construction work,
the building of a portage which can be
operated fjr the carriage of public
freight while the canal is under con
struction will be urged.
A special to the Telegram, which may
be taken with as much sait as suits the
palate of the taker, announces that Bin
ger Herman has notified the president
that he will retire from his position of
commissioner of the general land office
within the next three months, and that
the president had already decided on
Mr. Herman's successor in the person
of a well-known Minnesota politician,
name not given of course. The point of
the story is thet Herman resigns be
cause be thinks he has a dead mortal
oinch on the senatorship. All of which
may be true, and then it may not. One
thing is dead certain, Herman is not of
the resigning kind, and there is noth
ing in his history (and wesaytwith
profonnd respect) that wonld justify us
in believing tbat he would ever throw
out dirty water till he had first secured
a satisfactory supply of clean. If Her
man has tendered his resignation, it is
at least ceitain that he thinks be knows
what he is about.
Nihtwatchman Jim Like had an en
counter the other night with a couple of
hobos, in wl.'ch, big fisted, two-hundred-pounder
that he is, he came ofT a good
deal worse than second best. The trou
ble was that each of the hobos was as
husky .as himself, and possibly a little
more so. The toughs had got a lace
window curtain that they were trying
to dispose of In the tenderloin district.
Jim heard of them and, through a judi
cious use of the 'phone, soon located
them in the East End, where he ran
into them on the railroad platform back
of Moody's warehouse. He attempted
to arrest them, but before he had time
to bless himself the two giants caught
him by the coat collar and seat of the
breeches and threw him Bheer oyer a
box car, landing him prone on the
gronnd on the other side, where he lit
erally "bit the dust." Of course the
hobos escaped, but it is little incidents
likethis that make the life of a night
watchman one long, sweet pealm.
Do you know that Hudson & Brown
hill are doing a larger business than all
the other real estate offices In The Dalles
combined. If there is any doubt in
your minds at to this assertion, we in
vite yon to call at our office and be con
vinced. We also invite your attention
to our large list of bargains in both city

fi ait farm, we can sell you one that will
return every dollar invested in two
years. If yon prefer a wheat farm, we
will sell you at so low a figure that you
will wonder why you did not consult ns
before. If you desire to own your own
home in the city, we will sell it to yoi
at so low a figure and on such easy
terms that it will make you consider
what a great injustice you have been
doing yourself and family by paying
rent for so many years. Remember we
are always ready to wait on you and an
swer questions, whether you intend to
buy or not. Office on Washington street,
next to French A Co.'s bank.
Do not forget that Griffith, the hypno
tist, will be at the ogt opera house
three nights, commencing Thursday,
Nov. 15th. Prof. Griffith is without
doubt the acknowledged king of hyp
notists and mind readers, and will make
you laugh as you never laughed before.
He will give a free exhibition on the
streets Saturday at 3:30 p. in. it win
embrace one of the moat difficult and
startling tests known to mental telep
athythe blindfold drive. Prof Griffith
is the only one In America who does
the drive this way. He does not con
in contact with any of the members of
the committee only by a small copper
wire he has fastened around his fore
head, which toe committee hold; but
the wire is so fastened that the com
mittee cannot give him an idea of the
route taken by pulling on this wire.
This remarkable feat will take place
Saturday afternoon at 3:30, starting in
front of Clarke A Falk's drug store. Do
riot forget time and place.
Superintendent Gilbert has issued a
circular to the school officers of the
county calling attention to the portions
of the state school laws relating to the
apportionment of the school funds and
informing them that $'i!)7J 24 now stands
to the ciedit of the general school fund
of the county, an amount sufficient to
apportion $"0 each to the sixty-throe
school districts reporting, besides a pres.
ent .per capita of 87 cents, which will
probably reach 1.20. Special attention
is called to the requirement of the law
that the balance nn hand in each dis
trict on the first Monday in March must
he less than fiO to entitle the district to
its full apportionment in April. The
circular bos tbt "the roister ul reei-'

tificates in proportion to the number of
teachers as Wasco couuty.

court.
Sheriff Kelly today made a clearance
eale of the property of delinquents on
the tax roll of 1899. The county bought

denly ill yesterday morning with chest
tiouble, growing out of the accident by
which he nearly lost his life a year ago,
was much better at noon today, but was
still confined to his bed. It is hoped he
will be able to be on his feet in a day or
two.
Some of the farmers from the Yakima
'district are feeling in excellent spirits
from the results of experiments in the
matter of raising peanuts. The claim to
be able to raise peanuts as high as
eighty bushels per acre in well irrigated
soil, and besides the crop that is ob
tained the vine makes a most excellent
forage.
The special meetings at the Methodist
church are continuing with increased
interest. A good congregation was pres
ent last evening and listened to a very
interesting sermon. The general public
is cordially invited to attend the services.
Rev. C. D. Nickelaen, of Heppuer, will
preach this exening at 7 :30 o'clock.
Col. C. E. S. Wood and Judge Thomas
O'Day, of Portland, were in town today
and filed a petition in the circuit court
for a rehearing in the case of D. C.
O'Riley against the Columbia Southern
Railway Company. In a recent hearing
of this case Judge Bradshaw sustained
a general demurrer, on the ground that
the plaintiff had no capacity to sue.
The local tod,ge of Modern Workmen
down at Astoria must have aomo big
fisted fellows, in Its ranks. Recently
they ordered from the society's supply
department a ballot-box, which, upon
arrival, they promptly returned with
the objection that "the opening in which
to insert the hand la too small." The
opening, by actual measurement, the
News assures us, was six inches across.

The California Cured Fruit Associa
tion, which is another name for tho
California prune trust, makes the an
nouncement that it is master of t he prnne
situation and that it practically con
trols all of the marketable prunes in the
stale. More power to its elbow ! Why
shouldn't the prune growers combine
for their own benefit as well as the other
fellows? It will now be in order for the
Bryanite press to weep briny tears over
the advance in the price of prunes, the
natural result of the election of McKin
ley. Maik Tain, In a recent interview in
Loudon, is reported to have said:
"England is tho best friend we have in
Europe, nnd we are the only frit-ad she's

was discovered fn the purser's cabin of

apartment, and after consuming some

of laundry, but this was only scorched.
The fire is supposed to have originated

DEATH OF P. T. SHARP.
A California riuoocr of 11149, and th
Flrnl to Hun a I'lck Tialn from
Th Dalle tu Canyon City.
Thursday' Dally
This community was greatly shocked
this morning on learning that P. T.
Sharp had succumbed at 11 :30 last night
to the injuries received yesterday morn
ing from the kick in the breast by a frac
tious horse that bad balked in one of
his plow teams. He had apparently
rallied from the shock to such an extent
that no serious results were apprehend
ed either by the attending physician or
the members of his family. He bad
long been subject to violent periodic at
tacks of colic, and one of these cams on
yesterday afternoon, and before it was
possible for a physician to reach him, he
had passed away. During the last cou
ple of hours be suffered untold agony,
and death came as a relief.
Phillip Thomas Sharp was born in
Lawrence county, New York, February
13,1821. In company with two elder
brothers he crossed the plains in the
usual uiauner of those days and arrived
in California in 1849. There he engaged
in mining till 1802, when he was mar
ried to Maiy Howland, a resident of
Shasta county and a descendant of one
of the pilgrims of the Mayflower. After
bis marriage he moved to Oregon and
located at the Cascades, where he su
perintended the building of a portage
wagon road for the old O. S. N. Co., and
afterwards, for short time, superin
tended the transfer of freight. From
there he went to Canyon City in 1S63
and established the first pack train 'be
tween that point and The Dalle. Dur
ing an early trip he was attacked by a
band of hostile Indians, who stampeded
bis mules and robbed him of all he bad
save small quactity of merchandise.
ith which he subsequently started a
little store at Canyon City. While there
he became intimately associated with
Joaquin Miller, who was then county
judge. He moved to Wasco county in
1871 and located on Three Mile near the
place where be died.
His wife died about seven years ago.
An elder brother, W. II. Sharp, of Walla
Walla survives him, besides three sons,
E. F. Sharp of this city, W. H. Sharp of
Five Mile, and F. II. Sharp who is at
present in the East, and one daughter,
Mrs. Grace Gordon, of Portland.
Mr. Sharp was a man of wonderful
Vitality and energy for his years. He
persisted keeping in the harness and
doing his share of the hardest work of
the farm, in spite of the proteet of his
children, who often urged him to take
the test that his strenuous life and ad
vanced age called for. He was a kindly,
geniAl nun, a ko.hI husband, and a
father wtiose pride and joy, to a very
unusual degree, was in his children
whom he loved with more than fatherly
affection. Tako him for all In all we
shall not soon look npon his like again.
The remains were brought to town
this afternoon and are at the home of
his son, E. F. Sharp. The funeral will
take place Saturday afternoon.
