Cahrt, May Si What happened at this
usually quiet, peaceful little village on tli
southern frige of Baker's Prairie on last
Wedneiday from 10 o'clock until S, is not
soon to b forgotten lor on that date a "cy
clone" like unto the kind they have in Texas
risiled this place. While it did not kill U
people outright, at the recent one in Texas
did, r.or did It turn over.their houses nor
destroy their crops, yet it set forth such
doctrines which, if believed and practiced,
would kill ft,000,000 people by starvation
and cause the lands to be abandoned to the
Indian and the coyote. The meeting was
held on the Methodist camp ground here
and in the tabernacle, therelore a little des
cription fashioned after the writings so often
quoted there will not be amiss; for in those
days came John (Davis) the "cyclone,"
preaching in the tabernacle at Cauby, say
ing, repent ye, lor the days of populism are
at hand. Prepare ye the way pf populism
and make its paths straight to the court
house at Oregon City. And the same John
had his raiment of camel's hair and was
dressed in purple and tine linen, while his
deluded followers worked the town for sil
rer shekels to pay him with, and were not
exactly diessed in purple nor even in tine
aackclotb. His meat was neither locusts
nor wi.d honey, for lie subsists on the fat of
the land. When the giant, lor he was
nearly seven feet tall, arose and his massive
form began to heave and sway, and his vo
cal organs began to emit sounds like those
of Balaam's quadruped of old, and espec
ially when be referred to tariff, tarift, I a riff,
republican, democrat, gold etc., did be vir
tually bray. Some exclaimed "what man
lier of man is be?,' Others said "is the giant
possessed ol the devil?" Others supposed
him to be the prince of devils. While all
had to agree, after hearing bis voice, that
be must be a relative or damson and is
trying to slay the republicans and demo
crats with the same instrument Samson
used to slay the rhilistines. There went
out to hear bim all of Barlow and New Era,
and the region round about Canby and be
yond the Molalla, and when he saw many
republicaus and democrats tome to the tab
ernacle, he said unto theru "Oh generation
of republicans and democrats, who bath
warned you to flea from the harder times to
come (should the pops succeed)? And seeing
the multitudes he opened his mouth, and
the people which sat in the darkness saw?
great light from a popalistic point of view .
.After taking up the usual collection, which
consisted of the proverbiaf silver, inter
mingled with copper cents and pants but
tons the multitude dispersed, wondering
why the pops would import a southern
democrat by name of Davis to teach poli
tics and loyalty to the people ef Oregon.
About three-fourths of the "pop"ulation of
Canby went out to hear Jacob, the Coxey -
ite, preach in the Wilderness at Wright s
Springs on the 23d inst. Curiosity was the
chief attraction. People wanted to see the
man who led an army of paupers to Wash
ington city to intimidate congress into pass
ing laws advocated by his honor who held
forth at the Springs last Saturday. Peo
ple would have gone just as far to have
aeen Barnum's white elephant and would
have derived as much benefit. Coxey said
tbat "it must be curiosity that impelled the
people to congregate in such a large num
ber on tbat occasion." We agree with
Coxey on one point,
This is a time when every true republican
should stand by his principles and not re
ject bis party principles because there hap
pens to be a man on the county ticket who
does not exactly suit him. It is a poor
time to experiment. Better wait until times
get better. By voting against a part or all
of your ticket this year only helps to en
courage the enemy and causes many dis
gruntled ones to fall into the enemies' ranks
who would be safe nnder more encouraging
circumstances. Many people vote about as
their neighbors do, and many who want of
fice go over like some of the "pops" candi
dates did this year, just before the conven
tion, in order to secure the coveted position.
Let all the republicans then vote for prin
ciples and prosperity, and see that Clacka
mas county does not fall from grace to dis
grace. Every republican in this justice district
should see that the names of Wm. Knight
and J. 8. Graham is on every ticket voted
next Monday in the drstrict. They are
both first-class men, competent and trust
worthy. Canby is entitled to the justice of
the peace and the constable during the next
term, as New Era has bad the offices for the
last six years. New Era republicans should
appreciate this fact and vote accordingly.
Most of the populists here and all the dem
ocrats are for Knight and Graham.
Some of the Canby republicans are talk
ing against J. R. Morton for county com
missioner. I wish to say that J. R. Morton
is the best qualified man who has ever ran
for that office in this county. He is a practical
bridge and road man. iie made bridge work
bis occupation for years. Iam personally
acquainted with him and must therelore
state that Morton ought to get the entire
vote of his party here. He is not ruled bv
any man or set of men and will do the
proper thing if elected. Republicans here
conceded at the convention that the portion
of the county north of the Clackamas river
was entitled to the commissioner, and the
convention saidMorton was the man, there
fore let us all vote for him and keep faith.
What would the Canby republicans think if
the republicans north of the Clackamas
should vote for Lewelling for recorder sim
ply because he lives in their section? What
would Barlow people think if some section
of the county should repudiate their candi
dates because of geography? Samuel
Marks is a good man, and ordinarily suc
cessful farmer and good citizen, but a mighty
poor stick for county commissioner as com
pared with J. K. Morton.
8orry to state that some unscrupulous
scoundrel circulated a story last Saturday
to tbe effect tbat W. M. Shank was putting
tip money to a saloon at Liberal for tbe pur.
pose of securing votes there, i have known
Mr Shank for 13 years and know that he
Is not that kind of a man. He does not
have to violate his established principles to
secure votes. He will gvt there anyhow.
AKYSVIUK NOTES.
Aged Woman Left to Die by Her Brutal Sons
-Note of Interest.
Marysvh.ii, May 2:1. Frank Manning,
jr., met with quite an accident this week
while helping his father split rails, His axe
glanced and struck his ankle, severing one
of the large arteries and making an ugly
wound. He was taken home by his father
and the cut sewed up. He Is doing well
but will have logo on crutches for some
time.
A pitiable case of destitution came to
light on Wednetdoy of this week In this vl
viuity. Old Mrs. Mueller, seventy years of
age and unable to work, was found by the
school children in a small house near the
school house, belonirirg to her son, Rich
ard Mueller, of Highland. She was lying
on a bed of fern, with no covering, no stove,
and nothing to eat When interviewed by
the writer she told the following story:
Some time since she came from the East to
visit her sons, Frank and Wm. Mueller of
this place, and Richard Mueller, of High
land. She had some money (about seventy
dollars left when she got here, which she
loaned to William and Richard, but now,
she being unable to work, they had turned
her out and told her she could live In the
place where found by the school children,
and she had come there to die When her
sons we notified they refused to take care of
her, and she is at present being taken care
of by some of the charitably disosed neigh
bors. It certainly is a case that should be
looked into by the proper authorities.
John L. Gard, teaching school in this dis
trict, is about to build a new bouse on a
piece of land given him by his father Of
course we know John to be a good sensible
fellow, and won't build a house unless he
has use for it.
Chas. Kriezer, chairman of the board of
school directors of this district, made and
presented to the district a fine teacher's
desk this week Thanks, Charlie. May
your shadow never grow less.
Singing practice at tbe Marysville school
house every Sundav at 2 p. m. Those in
terested are cordially invited. Preaching

Colton News.
Coltoh, May 23. As there has been no
letter from Colton for some time the news
has accumulated to a large heap of almost
nothing.
Tbe most important subject of discussion
is the fight last Bunday evening at tbe Sal
vation army barracks. One of Cotton's
leading populists and a most determined re
publican met and clasped each other in a
very warm embrace which started the
gossiping tongues at full speed, but no
harm resulted from tbe small encounter
except a few campaign scratches.
M. M. George Reed and Charlie Newbill,
of Portland, have been spending a few days
with Chester Gorbett rusticating and taking
in the beauties of our rural surroundings.
A large audience gathered at the Colton
school bouse on the evening of the 21st to
listen to Hon. Geo. C. Brownell. He made
a powerful address of two hours length on
the lesding topics of the day. He highly
recommended separately and collectively
the candidates on the republican ticket.
This address was followed with a recitation
by Miss Inei McLean, entitled, " My Senti
ments," which was loudly cheered bv the
republicans. The stand was decorated with
magnificent bouquets of lovely flowers from
the well kept gardens of Mrs. S. Hamniett
and Mrs. E. Stromgren.
Mr. Countryman is obliged to feed bis
bees, having already lost some on account of
damp weather and lack of flowers That is
very rough on the garden spot of the West.
Boys, don't be raising blisters on your
plow and ax handles with your big, rough
bands, but go to Mrs. Countrymen and get
a pair of first class genuine buckskin gloves,
made to order and never failing to fit
Your correspondent had the pleasure of
attending the excercises at the close of the
second month of our school The pupils
rendered their recitations in a manner that
did credit to their teacher as well as them
selves. Mr. Dickey has bis school under
good control, and has the respect and good
will of alt his pupils. Otiisolia.

A tirrat Republican Rally- .M. K.
Church Conference.
OwKiio, Or. May 17, On last Satur
day night the grain! republican rally for
Oswego was held in the Grange hall,
The hall was literally crowded, standing
room being at a premium. The minding
was presided over by Mr. Troll, our
county committeeman. After music by
the Willamette Amateur band, the can
didates were Introduced hy the chair
nun and in short 8Kochea each one gave
account of the faith that was in him.
After the camlidatea had all spoken Sen
ator Brownell was introduced. The sena
tor delivered one of the very best
speeches that has boon heard in Oswego
during the campaign. Kinoariton was
loudlv called (or but excused himself
upon account of the latonees of the hour.
It looked very fraternal to have the
president of tlio local democrat club oc
cupy a seat on the platform at the re
publican rally.
A number of Milwaukee hoya attended
the republican rally at this place Satur-
lay night. The third quarterly confer
ence of the M. K. church was held in

Elliott Prairie Items.
Elliott Praikie, May 23. Not having
seen any news from this section of the
county in the Enterprise for some time, I
take the liberty of sending a few items.
A republican rally was held at the school
bouse last Tuesday evening. The house
was full to overflowing. Hon. George C.
Brownell was the first speaker. He spoke
for about two hours to an appreciative au
dience, and was followed by several of the
republican county candidates, among whom
were Charles Holman, L. L. Porter, G. W.
Prosser, E. C. Maddock and S. H. Strange.
And still it rains. " When will we get
our spring grain sown?" is what ve hear on
every side. But still the citizens ol Elliott
Prairie have not given up in impair, as we
have a road supervisor in this end of tbe
precinct now in the person of 0. W. Killin.
and a good selection too, as no obstacle is
too difficult for him to evercome, as will be
shown by the following: Last week George
had to go to mill, so he took three or four
men with him, equipped with the necessary
tools for working mails, and boldly started
out. After filling ditches, leveling down
hills, and bridging mud boles, he made the
round trip of eight miles in a little lees
than thirteen hours.

good weather will have it undercover.
A F. Chapman met with quite a painful
accident one day last week, while splitting
wood. He almost severed the thumb of
the left hand.
Fall grain generally looks well.
Hops are uneven and making a slow
growth, owing to the wet cold weather.

Sandy.
Sand ,May 25. Farmers were blessed
with floe weather the past week and all
spring work ia done now.
John Foster haa sold 100 acres to bis
brother-in-law Mr. Will Stansbury, who
will" make it his future home.
Mra. Rainbow sold 37 acres to Mr.
Sage, a new corner, who will make this
country his home.
Considerable talk ia Indulged in a
manner mora forceable than polite by
tbe people of this country about those
fish wheels which are located at the
mouth oi tbe Sandy river. It ia said
tbat there are five wheels in operation
there and that wire screens have been
stretched across the river, compelling all
salmon to go through the trap, conse
quence are tbat very few fish get up here
when in former years, we had plenty of
fish. An effort should be made to clear
one channel at least so tbat some fish
could get up here.
Several parties with boata and fishing
tackle came out here, hoping to catch
lota of fish, but were greatly dissapointed
on account of fisb being ao scarce.
F. A. Meinig, our road master, haa
called for bids to clean out our road,
Last Saturday our debate was at
tended by an immense crowd. Consid'
erable interest was manifested in the
discusaion. Resolved tbat a good wagon
road ia of more benefit too this country
than a railroad. The discussion was a
bitter one and was decided in favor of
the affirmative.
Politics have reached tbe highest poin
of earnestness here. It's 110 in the
shade.
The l!Hh inst., about a dozen whittlers
and about as many democrats and re'
publicans came out to hear the populist
candidates speak on the political issues of
the day. Mr. U'Uen who seems to be the
chief cook and bottle watdier of the pop-
ulint party spoke lor an hour and a half,
made a good speech for his supporters.
Monday, June 1st, is election day and
every legal yoter of this state who de
sires to have this country restored to
prosperity should vote a straight repub
lican ticket, as it is tbe party to which
Abe Lincoln belonged. It is the party
that founded the homestead law by
which thousands of families were pro
vided with comfortable homes, it is the
patty that ia in favor of free public
schools, it is the party tbat is in favor of
using both gold and silver as money, it
is the party that is in favor of high pro
tective tariff so tbat all men may have
employment who are willing to work.
As times are hard, good many reme
dies are being proposed as a cure and I
will as one suggest a remedy that will
surely cure these hard times if followed
according to directions: every voter on
election day should take his ballot and
give every populist candidate a good
scratch with pen and ink and all other
candidates, except the republican candi
dates leave them clear of mark or blots.
