A GLORIOUS FOURTH
Celebration All Over Colombia
County.
THE EAGLE SPREOS HER WINGS
And Nportsc-fAU Descriptions Enter
lalned The Assembled
Thrones.
It was a great day for the race we
mean the human race when John Han
cock and the rest of those immortals
attached their signatures to the great
document declaring the thirteen colonies
to I "free and independent states,"
and the century and a quarter that has
elapsed since that date has only served
to emphasize and magnify the wisdom ol
the fathers of this Republic.
Th anniversary of the great event was
celebrated very generally t!iroghut
this county, from Scappoosc to Clatska-
nie, and from the Columbia to the Neha
lem. The eagle flew and the orators
orated, and the reader of the Declaration
of Independence tried her best to be
heard above the roar of the combustibles
and the yells of the small boy. The pro
grams were so remarkably similar that a
repetition of them would be monotonous.
Beginning at Scappoosc the orator ot
the day was Dr. H. R. Cliff, of St. Hel
ens, and they do say that the doctor
made a great hit. There was all kinds
of sport, including horse racing, and a
match game of base ball between Scap
poosc and St. Helens, in which our boys
'put it all over" the Scappooses and their
Portland men to the tune of 10 to 4,
much to the surprise of all. The feature
of the game was the work of the St.
Helens battery, with Bert McKibben
pitching and Henry McKibben catch
ing. In the evening there was a
dance at Watts and Price's hall, the
crowd being too large for the room.
At Warren the celebration was under
the ausoiees of the Warren band. It was
held in the grove just west of the Noon
place, and the attendance was mainly
local, though a few were present from
St. Helens. The orator of the day was
to have been Prof. Seeley, of Albina,
but as he did not appear, the editor of
the Mist was called pon and made
few remarks. The Declaration was read
by Mrs. F. M. Hoyt, in a clear and intel
ligent manner. There were foot races,
potato race, and a tug of war between
the band bovs and the members of the
local camp Woodmen of the World, re
sulting in a victory for the former, after
a very interesting struggle.
From Rainier a grand good Unit is re
ported in every respect. The orator
of the day was Hon. Dell Stuart, of Port
land, and those who were present say he
did full justice to the occasion.
Ctatskanie's orator was J. H. Collins
and we are sure the people of Clatskanie
listened to an able and scholarly ad
dress, such as Professor Collins is fully
capable of delivering. A participant in
forms us that in addition to the popula
tion of the city fully five hundred visitors
were present,
The pupils of the Lower Nehalem
country celebrated in a beautiful grove
near Deep Creek. It was a joint cele
bration of the citizens of several adjacent
communities, and was thoroughly en
iovable. The county seat furnished the
orator of the occasion in the person of
Mr. W. U. Powell, who delivered a
masterly address on the glory and pro
gress tfk our country.
And Vernonia was not behind hand.
The loj-al citizens of that community
enjoyed the Nation's holiday to the
fullest extent and sports and literary
exercises were tle order of tho. day. The
orator was a native son of the Nehalem,
Mr. Omar Spencer, son of our old friend,
Israel Spencer. He gave his neighbors
an address that testi6cd to both his pat-
nA his culture. He is one ot
the young men of Columbia county who
has been fitted by education and home
training to fill any position of trust or
honor to which he may be called.
Columbia couuty may well be rjroud
of the manner ii which the great day
was celebrated. So far as this county is
concerned, it was eminently a "sane"

ST. LOUIS, July 6. The Democratic
National Convention today listened to an
extended speech frem Represeniative
John Sharp Williams, its temporary chair
man, appointed the committaes necessary
tt rriWt a neTmnnent areanization, and
- - . - - j
odiourned. In a session lasting two
hours and fifty minutes one striking inci
dent overshadowed all other proceedings.
That was the enthusiastic and prolonged
cheering which greeted the name of Gro-
ver Cleveland. While the outburst which
greeted the name of the Democratic ex-
President before its last syllable had lanes
from the lips of the temporary chairman
was noticeable in itself, it was magnified
by contrast with the greeting accorded
the actual persons of men who stood for
all that has been opposed by Mr. Cleve
land and within tb party during the last
eight years.
James K. Jones, of Arkansas, cnairman
of the National Committee, went upon
the platform and took his seat unnoticed.
Practically no greeting was given mm
when he faced the convention with gavel
in hand. There were other stalwart lieu
tenants of the Nebraskan who entered
the hall nnacclaimed, and,, lastly, Mr.
Bryan himself, who, for the first time
ihirinor two national campaigns, was
greeted with silence.
APPLAUSE FOR BRYAN BUT A RIPPLE.
Eieht minutes after the gavel fell the
twice-named candidate of his party passed
in at the main entrance and sought his
seat unheralded and unheeded. A tew
moments later he arose and pushed his
way to, a seat nearer the aisle, where,
standing a moment to give greeting to
friends, he was caught sight of and ap
plauded. But the measure of applause
was but a ripple when compared to the
storm called forth by Cleveland's name.
Listening attentively to the Democratic
doctrine laid down by Mr. Williams, the
conservatives found occasion for the first
demonstration when reference was made
to the record of ex-President Cleveland..
All the shackled party interest which had
lain donna.it through two national con
ventions was released as by the touch of
a trineer. The name of Cleveland was
echoed from a thousand throats. Hats,
handkerchiefs, fans, and arms waved,
and delegates and spectators stood on
their chairs and the last semblance of or
der was turned into confusion which
rnnwntion officials were powerless to
subdue.
BRYAN FOLLOWIJfG IS HISSED.
Will Mx outburst was at its height,
Mr. Bryan's following attempted to con
vert the demonstration into applause for
their leader. The name of Bryan was
yelled lustily, but in vain. Shouting of.
"Grover" and "Cleveland'1 was renewed
and the Bryan following was hissed.
The greatest significance was attached
to the showing- made by the consent
tives. Their absolute control of the con
nniinn is no longer doubted, even by
those who have heretofore declined to be (

President Roosevelt is conimoujy re

has proved his courage on many ana
A'wm occasions. But it appears that
there is. ono terror before which Mr.
Roosevelt quails. He let slip that fact
in a Catherine of newspaper men at the
executive office on the day of his nomi
nation. "1 hope," said the president,
looking about anxiously as he passed
around a box of cigars when the glori
ous but not wholly unexpected news was
flashed from Chicago, "I hope Came
Nation won't hear Q(.th"'
That Carrie Nation will hear of it must
be set down to a clear breach of confi
dence on the part of the recipients of the
