weeks ago.
The Pennoyer boom is spreading in
the East. The governor possesses many
of the elements of popularity. He's not
an easy man to down, once he gets a
start, says the Salem Statesman.
The legislative committee has recom
mended the passage of the bill appropri
ating $10,000 for the Tygh mountain
wagon road, but have reduced the
amount to $5000.
Notwithstanding the apparent dullness
here The Dalles is today the best busi
ness point in the state. All any of our
business men need to do to be satisfied
with their trade is to visit any of our
sister towns.
We understand the freight rates be
tween this place and Portland are to be

condition. Treasurer Webb turned over

In cash, and U. S. bonds amounting to
2,150,500 deposited as insurance securi
ties. Not having seen a copy of the new
charter it is of course impossible to
form any opinion concerning its merits.
It is probable our delegation in Salem
will send up copies as soon as they are
printed and that will be soon enough to
criticise.

marksmen there.

LAST BIGHT'S LECTURE.
Mrs. Major Scott as announced spoke
on "Woman's part in the Temperance
work" last night to a fine audience.
She prefaced her address by saying:
"The managing editor of a large daily
paper in New York said to one of his
lady reporters, go and find out why
women want prohibition? Why should
she not? The editor was broad and
catholic in his views ; he was just and
fair to his readers. He personally,
might care but little for our cause ; he
did not encourage prize fighting, yet, the
columns of his paper were open to those
that did. His department had full ac
counts of a suicide, a street brawl, a riot ;
all the details of a murder, and many
other things repugnant to numerous
readers. His paper sold for five cents,
or so much a year, and he knew he had
readers who did caie for religious, moral
and temperance news, so he consulted
the tastes and wishes of this class as
well as the others ; and so his publisher
agreed to furnish local news at least to
the subscribers he could see no excuse
why temperance news or information
should be excluded to the monopoly of
other matter, so he said, 'go and find
out why women, want prohibition.' "
In a calm, deliberate manner, voice well
modulated to the acoustic properties of
the- room, she gave to her audience
woman's reason for prohibition. It was
plainly evident that the audience was in
full sympathy with the speaker for it
gave the best of attention throughout
the lecture. Major Scott gives the last
lecture tonight. "Foot prints on the
bright side of the temperance reform"
is its title.
BURNED TO DEATH.
One of the Oldest Citizens of Boyd
Perishes In the Flames.
Thursday night near Boyd a fire was
noticed near Mr. E. S. Haage's place, and
as Mr. Haage did not come after his
mail for several days the neighbors went
to his place yesterday and found his
house burned and his charred remains
among its ruins. There is no means of
ascertaining anything concerning the
matter, as he was a bachelor and lived
alone. He was a member of theG. A. R.
A coffin was sent out this morning and
the remains of the unfortunate man will
be buried today.
Since writing the above we learn that
Mr. Haage had been to Duf ur Thursday,
and from the appearance of affairs, when
he got home he first built a fire and then
went to take care of his horses, these
when found jWere unhitched but had
their harness on, and it is supposed that
while unhitching them he discovered
that his house had caught fire and left
them to put it out, and that on entering
the house the ceiling fell on him. A
bucket filled with water was found near
where the door had been, which adds
strength to this theory, as he probably
first intended to try and save the house
and then giving this up set the water
down and made an attempt to save some
of his possessions. , He served in the
Fifteenth regiment of the regular army
during the war as commisary.sargeant.
A Surprise Party.
Saturday night last a score or more of
our bright little misses with their young
gentlemen escorts gave a delightful sur
prise party to Miss Edna Glenn at the
house of her parents. The evening was
a thoroughly enjoyable one, it being
passed in games, plays, etc., with a de
lightful luncheon at its close. As one of
the misses enthusiastically remarked in
speaking about the party, "We had lots
of fun," which expresses all that nan be
said about it. Among ' those present
were: Misses Georgie Sampson, Alice
Hall, Pearl Williams, Bessie Rowland,
Clara Davis, Paulina Drews, Lottie Nel
son, Addie Jackson, Lena Thompson,
Nellie Tucker, Una Wilson, Helena Jack
son, Hattie, Bertie and Grace Glenn and
Masters Victor Sampson, George Hall,
Carl Williams, Carl Tucker, Leo New
man and Willie Sechlar.
DIED.
At Hood River, Feb. 1, John Stanley,
aged 75 years.
Mr. Stanley was born in Broom
county New York in 1816, came to the
coast in 1849 and to Oregon in 1853. He
came to eastern Oregon in 1856 and was
with Col. SteDtoe in the Yakima Indian
war. He settled on his place at Hood
River in 1858, and resided there up to
the time of his death. The few remain
ing pioneers the record of whose lives
makes the history of Oregon, are rapidly
passing away, every day almost bringing
the news that yet another of the great
hearted band has gone over to the ma
jority. The funeral took place today at
Hood River.

Chopped Off His Own Hand by Aeeldenti
Graham T. Holtaclaw, a well known
young attorney, cut off his own left
hand with a band ax. He had arrived
home late for breakfast with a steak
which, he desired the cook, Mary, to pre
pare for him. In a good na tared way
he told her that if she would cook the
steak he would cut some kindling. With
a whetstone he sharpened a hand ax,
the blade of which is about five inches
broad, and proceeded to cot the kin
dling. Taking a soggy piece of pine block, he
held it upright on the chopping block,
and aimed a heavy blow to split it The
block slipped as the ax blade descended,
and the young man's left hand was
thrown under the blade. The blade
struck his wrist at the joint, and the
hand was completely severed, rolling to
the ground beside the block.
Holtzclaw seized the stamp of the left
arm in his right hand and called for
help. The cook, with great, presence of
mind, held the arm between both of her
hands tightly, stopping the spurting
blood, and the injured yonng man called
for a string. With a stout .cord the
stump of the arm was tied so as to
effectually prevent bleeding. Chatta

The Cailroad Must Pay.
A verdict for $5,000 damages was ren
dered in the court of common pleas
against the Western Maryland Railroad
company and in favor of Mrs. Mary A.
Herold. The accident for which dam
ages were claimed occurred on Sept 17,
1885, at the Wilson Sanitarium grounds.
Mrs. Herold had taken a child to the
sanitarium to spend the day, and in the
evening with others boarded the car,
which had been left on a switch. Some
one, presumably a child, released the
brake, and the car started down a small
incline toward the main track. A panic
ensued among the passengers, and Mrs.
Herold, who was then 63 years old,
jumped to the ground, breaking her
right shoulder blade and left leg. The
verdict was for the full amount claimed.

Arkwright's Old Mill Burned.
A calamity has fallen upon Cromford.
The historic old cotton mill, where Ark
wright first set up his cotton spinning
machinery, caught fire, and, though six
fire engines played upon it, nothing
could be saved. A large portion of the
mill has long been standing empty, as
the motive power (water) was inade
quate, bat for the last seven years Mr.
Charles Hill, of Bridge House, Crom
ford, has used one portion of it for fin
ishing and storing the goods made at
his factories at Via G-ellia and Milford.
The loss will be fully 10,000. The roofs
and walls have given way, but the
houses near have been saved. Pall Mall
