Not only did the detmieratic voters from th rural district tui.l town aud from the eastern Panhandle respond to the fall of the local mm mlttee, but the more remote counties or in evnicnwkMiiu district were ren. reaenUd and not a few old Ylrginlnu ana ctttoens or .Maryland made the journey to tnw place to assist In the welcome to the expounder of demo cratic tariff principles, nut! to listen to MIS Oddrfttt. Mr. Wllrtou beiiriU ,v a touching reference to tin great ism- ular deiuonstratkm which greeted hint and thank bin fellow cltien ami frlenda and neighbors for the unani mity with which they had taken part la his welcome. Referring to Milltli'l uiauers, ne saw: "We hare reached that stace In d velopmont of our eouutry wherein we are eompeued to have a large market for our surplus products ami such markets, through foreign trade, are tne only safety valve fur the health and prosperity of American labor In the Held and factory," He referred to the struggle of fed eral taxation aa a wonderful and in spiring and popular resolution, and pledged the democracy as a party of toe people to ro into the couiimt "On one aide," sand he, "He good government honest, economical gov crnnient free Industries, lures and expanding markets fur the product or American labor, and a general dawning of an era of Individual pros perity. On the other aide ll roirupt government fettered and Imprisoned InduHtry, limitation by law for the amount which we can profitably pro duce. These are the two qneatlotta at Issue before the American people. If there la one thing to which I gave mora attention than another during my brief absence from thin country. It was to the condition of the wheat market of the old world. Wlie I enquired why wheat had gone 'down to a price much lower than It had ever aold before In the history of at least modern England and America, the anawer was there la a tml vernal glut and a production beyond a profit able demand; that not only U tl I'nlted State Increasing her surplus export of wheat and Russia Increasing her surplus export of wheatk but At- . gontina Is coming forward and I now the third in quantity exported to the European marketa. I catiiiut but re call the fact, and I have stated' It again and again before the poplo of this country, that the American tax upon tho wool of Argentina made that government fight for their sheep and go Into competition with you In tho production of wheat. I say it la fir you today a question of markets, a question of consumers tlie world oter for the products you produce. I ' believe so far as the great cereals are concerned, we produce enough to feed a population twice as large as our own. I believe so fur as staple manufactures are concerned w. pro duce enough to supply a population as largo as our own. - The quest Ion Is where are we to get these nuuketar .NOT A HOPEFUL VIEW.

"I believe," he said, "It masters little who Is governor under otic ab surd system of commission and coun cils, but this Is an off year and wo must from this women t do the best we can to keep our party In Hue and uphold our national administration. We are accustomed to defeat In Mas sachusetts. We loug ago bunted to bear defeat and our opponents know t cannot crush us. Let us then acquit ourselves like men as at the bit two times, feeling that In doing our duty we shall honor our cause and make a future victory possible." MASSACHUSETTS PEMOCUATH.

Mr. Herrall went to Tacouia on the special eseuraion train Saturday mornlug, and returued on tlie tegular train, which arrived here about 11 oYlis k last night He was seen by aer end iwrtlee on the train, and nothing unusual was noticed In his actions. John Giindel, of Oundel Bros, & Co soda works, waa with hlut when the train arrived and shortly afterward left him on the street llarrnll saying he was going home, So far as known he was not seen alive after that Hint Coroner Cornelius was notified of tho finding of the body, and took charge ot tlie remains, Tho position or the body and the circumstances, with the rinding of Uio revolver where It had been dropped, were stu b as to leave no doubt that be hud tomiutttHl suicide. Mr. Harrall waa 01 years of ago. and a native of Gerntauy, lie bad re sided In this city a uumber of years, and waa widely-known.

Cl tcf Mlnto. for prudential reasons, declined to disclose the nature of the evidence against Steeves at tho pres ent time, but tutlmnted thttt ho had good reasons for holding him. Bunco Kelly, Bob Garthome and Sailor Burns, who are IsMcvcd to know more about Ihe actual coinmls slon of the murder than any other per son, have ns yet shown no signs of weakening. They are subjected to lu tcrvlwvvs by the detectives and the chief several times a day, but so far they bare dlvulgod nothing to fasten the crime on either. .These fellows are In solitary confine ment, and It Is eonrldently exiiected that oue or the other will make a clean breast of the mutter wlthlu the next 21 or 4S hours, to help himself as much ns possible. Primarily it was supposed that Oar thorns would be the first to weaken, and tell but he burnt to his secret If ho has any, with more tenacity thnu he' was given credit with having. Bunco Kelly is the shrewdest one In the lot an) If be Is as deep lu the plot ns the police think, they opine that he will make an early request to Income a state witness. Chief Mlnto feels sure that one or two of the men he now has In custody have had a hand In the murder, nnd Mint the. guilty one cr oms cannot es cape, .Regarding the complicity of the others, as yet at large, the chief had nothing to say.

Another Harder Mystery-Land of fiif Red Applri-Talk of Railroad Bulldluf. Portland, Oct 8,-Portland has an other murder mystery, a citizen called from his home at night and a few duys later found lu the river with ghastly wounds on his bead, valuables In bis pockets showing that robbery was not the motive of the ' crime. About 0 o'clock In the evening of Sept 0th, Geo. W. Sayres, an old man 73 years of age,' living at Fulton Park, told his wife he was going for a walk wllh a friend of his, known as "Bun co" Kelly, and that was the lost that was seen of him until ' Friday last, when bis body was found in the river below the steel bridge On his bead were six ugly wounds, apparently In flicted with a hatchet while his face was badly bruised snd his right hand terribly cut probably while defending himself. His gold watch and gold scarf pin were still on bis person. Ills watch stopped at 10;'sJ, about two hoirs after he left home. This was the time the body was thrown Into the river and not necessarily the time of the murder. The police have ar rested a aweet scented crowd, Joseph ("Bunco") Kelly, a notorious salt or boarding house man and "shanghalor" Bob Gorthorne, recently released from Jail after serving a term for smug gling, George Powers, a convict from San Quentin, Paddy Lynch, a convict from Salem, Thomas Carroll, a con vict from Walla Walla, Thomas Burns, a dissolute sailor and James Mohan, a sea cook. The first two are charged with murder and the others are held as witnesses. Burns says that last August Kelly offered to pay him for killing Sayres, but that be knows nothing about bis death. The police are satisfied they have their bands on tho right gang, but are at a Ions to prove the murder or to find a reason for It The present theory Is that It Is connected with some smug gling operations tn some manner. The eighteen hour bicycle race ter minated Saturday night In the expo sition buUdlng and a new world's record for eighteen hours has been es tablished at 353 miles, being nine mlh more than the best previous record. II. R, Hewitt of the Portland Athletic club, Is the new champion. Millard Lee was only one-quarter ot a lap behind and George Staver four laps. Uarrtsburger also beat the rec ord four miles. This race was held under the authority of the L. A. W. and the record becomes official. Other championship races will be held this falL A session of the American Pomolog leal society will be held In Sacramento next January, and It is tho lntentlou of the Oregon Horticultural society to have an exhibit of apples there. Or chardists ore requested to save their best apples for this purpose, and If this Is done there Is no doubt that Oregon can beat anything shown by any other state. Certainly If . such fruit as was exhibited at Milton last week to tbe members of the Oregon Press association la sent to Sacra mento there need be no fear of the result The writer was present and saw that magnificent display; hastily gathered as It was, be never saw finer apples and grapes in his life. . He was astonished to learn that a country that was once thought lit only for a stock ran go, then to grow wheat could pro duce in abundance fruit that would put the famous Wlllametto valley to Its best paces to keep up : with the procession. If the legislature this year will give us a law that will en able tbe horticultural board to do practical work In exterminating fruit pests, Oregon will soon lead the world In fruit both as to quality aud quan tity. The level-headed men of 1 Portland reallio that the future prosperity of the city depends upon the growth of tho tributary country and its closer connection with it They seo that the bringing of new sections Into close connection with the city by railroads adds to Its business and develops those sections by giving them a mar ket for whnt they can produce,' There are two projects of this kind now on root Ono Is to build a railroad into the Yakima country through the Klickitat pass, thus giving Central Washington a direct outlet to Port land, and the other Is to construct a line to the Nehnlem valley by the way of tho Tualatin. The Nehnlem con tains both coal and Iron of fine qual ity, has unrivaled timber and is a splendid agricultural region, and Its connection with Portland by a rail road would develop it and be ot great benefit to Portland. Tho early com pletion of the Cascado locks and tho construction of the boat-railway at Celllo, to begin which congress has made an appropriation, also promise to do much for Uio future, of Portland and for tho welfare ot the stato gen erally. It ts by such projects as there, by tbe Nicaragua canal and by utilising more fully aud variedly our natural resources and the capabilities ot our soil, and by doing ourselves what we have been accustomed to pay others living at a distance tor doing for us, that we must look for a return of prosperity. Wo have all the materials at hand for working out our own salvation. All wo havo to do Is to ubo them Intelligently and Indus triously. P. P. B. HOP INTELLIGENCE. Trading In spof goods has been on a very limited scale. Receipts have boon rather light and havo been mostly of the smaller growths, the quality of which Is quite Irregular. Exporters have forwarded some sample lots, but have sought In vain to draw or ders from the English markets. Brew ers' wants for present consumption are not large, but they have accepted a number of tho contracts offered for future delivery, tho prices named In most cases being below the rates now current hero. We hear that some of tho recent contracts have been at 8VjC for tine Pacific coast hops and at 0c. for state, Dealers have studied tbo situation carefully and fall to see any good reason for stocking up at all heavily. The quantity of hops grown In this country this year will certainly exceed tho crop of 1803, and 3 Lrow-5a, tbe poor outlook for export buslnees would seem to Indicate a low range of prices throughout tbe season. Values at tbe present writing ore to ft large extent nominal; 10c la asked and oc casionally obtained for a few of the choicest lota of state or Pacific coast but some fine parcels are offering lc less, and tlie lower grades can be had down to OffcSc. Yearlings are held la Instance at 7c, but would not sell at over 0c for the beet and moot lots are seeking an outlet at a less tslce. Tbe markets In tbe Interior of this state have been quieter this week; the new crop Is picked and there is every reason to believe that tbe yield baa exceeded that of last year. We are fearful that quality will be disap pointing, as tbe bops did not ripen well. Latest estimates from the Pa cific coast are Increasing and It bow oceras probable that tbe total yield will be more than last year. Nothing of special Interest from England or Germany; some very fine sample are coming from Cotluenta! Europe and they are Joffcred .very cheap. New York Price Current Sept 20th. HOW TObHKNCH A HOR8B. ' A correspondent of the Country Gentleman tells bow to drench a bone, as foUows: In the farmer's . stable, where drenching bits and such Im proved appliances are' not at hand, the ordinary way of giving a horse medicine Is to pour It Into bis mouth from a long-necked bottle. There Is In this more or less danger of bis breaking off with his tooth and swal lowing pieces of glass. Instead of pulling his head up .with the halter rope and trying to keep It still with your hand, put on an ordinary bridle with long reins attached to the bit rings, pass tbe reins over something firm over head, such as a fork-handle laid across a feed hole or a ring In the floor-sleeper, and bring the horse up so that bis hisid will be directly under it Stand on a box or chair on his near side, so you will be withfa easy reach of his mouth when his head Is raised; talte tho loose ends of the reins In your left hand, and by pulling them gently down the pressure of the bit against bis upper Jaw will i , . .. . . 1 1 . i, . . raise ois neau gnuiuauj uuui nigu enough to prevent the liquid from run-' nlng out of the coiners ot his mouth, which bo will then open and begin to work bis tongue left free for him to swallow. With tbe right hand pour the liquid slowly Into bis mouth at the corner, and you usually will hear him swallowing. Should he absolutely re fuse to swallow confine his nostrils for a moment with the band, and in his effort to get bis breath he wilt for get to hold onto hla mouthful of med icine. If the dose Is large, or be takes It slowly, do not tire bim by keeping his bead no too long. Ease up with your left hand and treat him very gently. Carefully managed, not a drop need be lost In drenching the most fractious horse. HOP INTELLIGENCE. Journal-Bulletin, Sept 20th: Buying Interest was quite as tame as it has been previously this month. There is not enough export movement to en liven affairs in the least and, despite the low prices current home brewers and dealers purchase in a very co i fervatlve way. The one fact that there wlU be more than enough hops to go around seems to be the govern Ing feature. Apparently 10c Is ex treme high for best goods injthis mar ket As a matter of fact It is difficult to secure more on time sales to brew ers. Some very good stock is being dealt out at l2c hs. Foreign ad vices contain nothing really new. They indicate that the situation on I the continent and In Europe is quite as uusattsractory as it is here. " Same paper, Sept 20th: Latest re ports are to the effect that while tho yield of hops has been heavy in New York state and on tho Pacific coast the. quality turns out to be below ex pectations. This, tends to unfavorably Influence the market for all grades ot hops below those classed as "choice shippers," and sales are still being made at extremely low rates, not only to dealers but to home brewers. Some few lots have b3cn taken recently at 10c In the interior for export account, but not enough to have an Influence upon the market. FOREIGN NEWS The German Hop Culture Society of Nuremberg, report under date Sept 13: During tbe course of this week tem perature has been more favorable for the performance of hop picking, which Is lu full swing everywhere. Trade has become somewhat more active, prices, however, have not risen, and the currency for our different to rlettes of hops Is about the same as a week ago. Our growers are by no means satis fled with these, prices, and wait for better ones. In conuepuence the supply of our market is not so rich as it ought to bo with a heavy crop, and for this period of the season. Tho demand for home consumption as well as for abroad Is restricted as yot and dealers arc mainly buying for own stock. . Wm. Large, writing from Goudhurst, Kent to tho Otsego Republican, says: "Our market In London is at tbe low est point for good hops that I ever knew It and but little doing. Fair to good hops only realise from 35 to 45, shillings cwt, and tlie crop Is so enor mous that many cannot be picked. The Callfornlans will have to keep their hops at home or submit to a loss if they send them here." Awarded Hifhttt Honors-World Pair. Da MOST PERFECT MADE.
