H. Shepherd, Editor
Foil Baker City. The manager of
the DuPrez Dramatic ;ind Variety
Company tells us that he will take his
company to Baker City and play there
during the races. We can recommend
them to our Baker City friends as a
splendid jood troupe if they were not
they could not play in this county as
they are (loin; to crowded house5?
and will give the people of Baker
Citr a eh rice to visit a belter show
than they have been to for sniw time.
"V?e hope our friends there will do all
in their power to secure a hall fur the
company to .-how in.
Curiosities. The "Bloody Shirt"
that the Portland papers spoke about
Al. Ziiber having received from the
East some few months since i
now in the possession of "Ned" Turk
of this city. It is a genuine shirt, and
is what the papers report it to be.
Judge Sels also has two veiy peculiar
looking curiosites, When you go to
buy a page of the history of "Old Ken
tucky" bound in glass, just ask the
Jude or Henry to let you fee the curi
osities. A man by the name of Tage, from
Idaho, has been attending to the busi
Jiess for the U., I. & 0. Stage Co.,
and also for W., P. & CVs. express at
Baker City for some time. We un
derstand he is permanently stationed
there.
A. Eads, John Muldriek, and Tom
Poindexter, Jr., are the huuters that
went out r few days ago : nd killed a
coyote as the last r- sort and tried to
play it off for a young fawn. It can he
t-een at Gray's shop.
Overholt & Jacobs are now better
prepared than oyer to supply the wants
of the people of this valley in the way
of hardwood, or to build a wagon or
ougy from the ground up and of the
very best materials.
A house belonging to to Mr Marvin
Kilbourn, near Prairie City, was total
ly destroyed by fire on lust Friday
night.
Religious. Key. Dr. Nevius will
hold religious service- in tlii.s city to
morrow at 1 1 A. M.
Wasiiington, July 18. From in
formation obtained at the executive
mansion to-day there is no doubt of the
correctness of the assertion heretofore
published in regard to the successor of
Secretary MeCrary. Ex-Seimlor p-,,n-sey,
of Minnesota, has been tendered
the office of Secretary of War and has
accepted. The change will not occur,
however, until the present secretary re
tires. Under the Thurrnan act the Treasury
depaitment is buying bonds to be ap
plied as sinking funds for final rtdomp
of bonds issued in favor of the Pacific
railroads by the government- Every
month an amount due these roads by
the government for transportation is
withheld and to that amount purchases
ro made. The bonds bought are Tj
per cent?, ns prescri bed by the act. So
far. $3!?..00 of the-e bonds have been
jpUtcel to the credit of the fund.

their failure in gratitude and
appreciation for such services,

and the elegant villa at Beau

Mr. Davis is now sojourning,

The Cascades Canal aud
Locks. In a conversation with
an Oregonian representative
last night, Mr. C. P. skinner
stated that work will probably
be resumed on the Cascade
locks late next week. There
was 2-1 feet of water in the
channel yesterday morning
and if it recedes as rapidly in
the next four or five Hays as
it has during the past ?Q hours,
they will put a force of 500
men to work next Thursday or
Friday. The locks will hc'SOO
feet long and 72 wide, and will
allow the largest class of vessels
to pass through. One lock
will have a lift; of 14 feet and
the other of 12 fret. The lock
walls will be of solid masonry
32 feet wide al the base, and
a portion of them will be 72
feet high. Mr. 1). P McBean,
of Chicago, has the superinten
deiiey or the work. Oregoni
an. Sidney, Neb., July ISr At
about 12 last night John Hod
son, alias English Jack, a
hard character, shot and killed
John Brown, an employe of
Charles Collet?, whose cattle
outfit is in camp near town.
While oflicers were in searh of
the murderer, he went to a
livery stable where he had
been employed, secured a horse
and escaped in the darkness.
This is his second offense of a.
similar character, he having
killed a man on the lied Cloud
road some time ago.
The New York Times says:
''Not one American woman
faints to-day, where, thirty
years ago, twenty-five women
fainted.5'' The reason of the !
difference is that tight lacing
has gone out of fashion. The
woman "viio laces now is con- j
side red a ninny even by her !
own kind.
The New York Sun thinks
Secretary Sherman the very 1
strongest Republican candidate
for the presidency in Pennsyl
vania, and will be the choice
of the Peuns3lvania delcga-
tion to the national conven- i
tion.
