"JVjrmer President' Ororer Clereland

this morning with Mrs. Cleveland at
tils bedside. He suffered a relapse
yesterday, but was thought to hare
rallied' last night: The physicians
who hare steadfastly denied that the
' case was serious now admit; that it
was hopeless a month ago. The pa
tlent lost ISO-pounds In the last two
months, I The announcement, of the
death was made by Dr. Joseph D.
Bryant by .telephone to New; York,
where It was made putylo before it
was -known here.
..The official etatement signed by
' Drs. Bryant, : George B. Lockwood
and J..D. Carnochan says the direct
cause of the" death was: "Dropsy of
the lungs, causing blood clot". t
- The announcement of the death
of Mr. Cleveland was a great shock
to this quiet little university town,
' which"had been .encduraged to be
lieve Its most prominent citizen' was
progressing well, Since his return to
his home here from Lakewood the re-
: ports continually .have been favor-able,-
though they r have been some
what mysterious. ; r Mrs. Clereland
has been very cheerful and has called
on her friends from; time to time.
Bhe apparently up to yesterday had
no Idea that her husband was near
death.-. - - M :
v fhe doctors have come and gohe with
: regularity and no one 'about the olty
caught a glimpse of the former 4preel-
dent after he entered hie doorway on his
return here.-.." - 1
Reports that he was suffering .from
cancer of the stomach were constantly
denied and It was said that his Ulnese
was aii affection of the digestive or
gans which would not give him much
serious trouble. The only explanation
' Of the constant attention of the physi
cians was that he, was a heavy man

Mr.' "Cleveland has lived In the time Of more administrations than
-any one. who has ever been president. lie was born in 1887. In that
year Martin Van Buren was tnaagurated president, consequently Mr. t
f Cleveland has lived in the 'administrations of 'Van Buren,' the short
, ..term of William -Henry. Harrison and the remainder a of the term to ,
which Tyler succeeded; also' in; the administrations -' of Polk,' Taylor,

Mr. Cleveland has not only lived' In the administrations .- menttonedt. ..
'but he, has lived to see six vice-presidents . succeed to the presidency, .

. (Speeisl Dispatch to Tbe JearniLt
. Pendleton, Or., June 84. Two of the
most elaborate celebrations' ever planned
by Indiana In the northwest' will be
Witnessed . on the Umatilla reservation
near this city July 4. Arrangements are
being mad by.tbe-leaders of the three
tribes w hpldlng allotmenta, the Uma
tilla, Cayuses and Walla" 'Wallaa
The' reason for the two celebrations
Is . that those tribesmen ; belonging . to
the Presbyterian mission . church, re
fuse to participate ln the exercises of
their pagan brothers, and yet ' are not
to be cheated out of some sort of a
celebration.
The ; fact 'that ' Pendleton Is not 1 to
celebrate has lent renewed enthusiasm
to the Indians, as It means there will
be no divided Interest, and, no, divided
attendance except among themselves." It
also means ; that the whites In large
numbers .-from 'this city, and ' surround
ing country will avail themselves of
the opportunity to view the fast dis
appearing Indian in what Is more near-J
ly hie primal state than he is to - be
seen et any other time. -And whatever
may be said of the Indians' likes and
dislikes, ha delights In being the- whole
show when he is on his own ground.
' The Christian Indians have selected
a camping - place near the site of the
old agency, as their celebrations 'always
continue for many days, instead of for
only one. The exercises here will prob
sbly conform to tbe wishes of the most
ardent advocates of a . safe and : sane
Fourth. -...:. ,a-- ...-, ---
This can hardly be said of the cele
bration - by the other Indian braves,
however, for paint and feathers and the
blood-curdling wsrwhoop. minus the
curdle, will be features of the big meet
yhlch will be pulled, off near Cayuae
station. There will.be borss racing,
the greatest of all sports 'for the In
dian, and with no Governor Hughes to
Interfere with- tbe betting. There will
be riding of wild horses, while stripped
Indian, with gaudily painted bodies,
will whirl In the war dance, accom
panied by the unmusical tomtom.-
All the sports will be distinctly end
characteristically Indian, and In the
horse racing the only trappings , Used
will be a touckskin -thong in tbe mouta
of the animal. ....... ...V.. .......
