The bodies of the wife of Douglas
Gurdans, city marshal; Mrs. Boyd and
child, a Chinaman and Krma Asli
baugh, found and Identified, today,
bring the Hat of dvitd up to luT.
Five carloads of provisions have ar
rived at Lexington for the destitute.
Tbe w.rk of the relief committee Is be
coming mora arduous. Hungry and
destitute famines are being found an 4
tared for as rapidly as possible.
Superintendent O'Brien, of the O. It.
.V., arrived this morning and hur
ried live wagons out to loud provisions.
Trains , may rih here by Bunday,
when danger of want will have paused.
Carloatls of rations from Falrlleld
Tekoa and a second lustRllnient from
Portland are at Lexington. The re
lief fund haa rearhed 120.000.
- The developmenta of yesterday after
noon and tody siow the Hefner
death list will exeeed eeUinatea. It
seemea -tt first Imiwrnilble that ZOO peo
ple could have been killed, and the ei-
ttumtu was rut down In a measure.
Now, prominent cltfscne are beginning
to make entlmates from 200 to 300. no
one falling below the former number.
Nut all these bodies will be found.
Home were wanhed to the Columbia,
Mint are probably burled In cellar bot
torn 'right In town and destined never
to be found.
There are eeveral lurge drifts to work
and corpes are expected to be found
as far down as Lexington. At the rate
bodies are coming In, the list by tomor
tow w ill easily reach 200 actually found.
Identified and burled. There are doubt
less dozens more.
Several outside ministers are relay
ing each other, officiating at the
graves, and all the dead have brief
funeral services now. Danger of grave
mixing Is alw reduced.
The apparent stoicism of the surviv
ors who have lost relatives Is ant on -IsMng
the only explanation being that
the situation Is not yet realised. Reali
sation will come when the thousands of
helpers leave town and the remaining
population And the streets deserted.
Many women said today they were
nfrald to stay here when the people
were left alone with their dead. Men
talk with dry eyes of wives and chil
dren killed. Many say they do not
know yet what has happened.
-Willie the bodies found yesterday and
today were In horrible condition, many
were frown stiff -when brought into
the ot. sun, a phenomenon rendered
possible by their covering of hail.
Great banks of hall still He In the drifts
wth bodies, or parts of bodies, enclos
ed. Corpses not thus situated are so
bad that workmsn dislike to handle
them. Where people were rolled be
fore a wall of .hall during the flood,
they are stripped and their flesh is
whipped Into shreds.
A pitiful scene was witnessed last
evening In the morgue, whn a mother
and her babe lay side by side, having
been found together In a drift two
miles below town, from which six bod
ies had already been taken, with more
to come. The woman was Mrs. George
Kinsley, There are many ohlldren still
to be found. . y
No more laborers are needed, as all
that can be fed are here.
Mayor Frank Gilliam and Sheriff B.
M. Shutt bave Issued orders to all per
sons not working or with business to
transact to leave town as soon as pos
sible, j No attempt la being made to
save tjoarda or timber It Is a question
of getting the ruins out of sight. "
The question of rebuilding the .town
Is still unsettled. ' Some think tbe place
Is permaenntly injured, and a majority
think. It will not be rebuilt for several
years. Leading men, however, declare
that fine brick structures will go up,
strong enough to withstand floods; that
the streets will be terraced beck from
the creek, and that new; and better
homes will be erected on the hillsides.
Heppners location at the mouth of
the tour canyons makes rebuilding In
tlu bottoms dangerous proposition.

General Greene Mas a Good Word to
' Hay for the Cob.
New York. June It. In a speech be
fore the Order of Acorns General Fran
cis V; Greene commiaeioner of 'police,
has Intimated broadly that attempts
are, being made tn the police depart
ment to re-establish the machinery of
blackmail whk'b he attacked when .he
remanded the ward men to patrol duty
last January. He added fhat he hoped
tn thwart the plan by preventing the
formation) uf a'net chain pi connec
tions. .
"I wun't to say from my experience,"
he said, "that the average policeman is
not crooked. He has more U-mpUitlons
thrown In his way than any may In
another walk of life. He ran make a
month' salary In a minute by simply
turning his head." The great majority
of tne force resist this temptation and
do their duty. , ;
"Organised blackmail hfi been brok
en In two and It haa not been put to
gether strain yet, though efforts may
be making In that direction. I think
they can be defeated by preventing the
e-establlshment of the rhutn of con
nections." !

professor la an eastern college, a tour
ist, a lecturer and a minister.
In bis satchel was found a lull bank
ing outfit Including COO lml tat Ion drafts
cn the National Park 1tank of New

working on the case for more than a
year, or ever since it was discovered
that the drafts were printed In this
city, where the "professor" apparent
ly had headquarters. i ,

New York. June 19. The World to

ton, N. J., quoting' former President
Cleveland a saying: - ' .
I 'it is perfectly absurd to suppose for
an Instant that 1 have any desire to
re-enter public Kfe. Nor have 1 re
motely entertained the thought sines
I left Washington more than six year
ago. Tbe matter Is far from my
thoughts as tt 'was in 1894. when; all
must admit. It was not within my
hearing or my sight I have no higher
aspiration than to pass my days la
peace "with my family around me, and
take no part In politic which any pri
vate citizen cannot take with the ut
most propriety.
T have not -spoken to anybody oa
the subject of a fourth candidacy. I
have never written to a single political
friend one way or the other, nor have
I been wMtteh to or spoken to by them.
There is no; a political leader of any
prominence endeavoring to advance
any movement to nominate me In any
tate, so far as I 4iave been advised,
nor do I anticipate that any such ef
fort will be made by any leader, promi
nent of obscure, in any locality tn this
country. ; :. .
"I have on several occasions within
a' year undertaken to perform the la
bor which usually falls to the private
in the ranks; but there has not lurked
within ine the hope of any reward savo
the consciousness of having &ade, aa
effort to assist in bringing about salu
tary conditions in the party." ;

"The substance of the interview as

have made to a person no nearer to
me and no more in my confidence than
Mr. Bailey, who visited me. He left
me without the least bint I had been
