A HUMAN MONSTER.
A Midnight Assault en Poor Old I. arty
Poorman Her Arm Broken In Striv
ing to Hare Her Honor
The most damnable outrage that it has
ever fallen to our lot to chronicle in these
pages was committed last night, in this,
city, between the hours of eleven and
twelve o'clock, on the -person of Mrs.
Poorman, an old', feeble, widow lady of
seventy-two years,- who lives by herself,
in a small house, at the head of Liberty
street. The brute who is charged with
the perpetration of the infamous deed is
one Al Lawson, a drunken vagabond,
well known in the city, where he used
to work in the company's shops, and
who lately was employed on the ranch
of Jack Easton, of Dufur.
The marshal is perfectly satisfied that
Lawson is the same man who committed
a like outrage on Mrs. . Poorman last
summer and again made another at
tempt last fall. At the attempt last fall
Lawson tied his horse to a neighboring
fence and both the horse and its owner
were identified by the marshal so that
the moment he heard of the last outrage,
at six o'clock this morning he promptly
said to his informant Mr. Norman, "I
know the man who did it."
Two and a half hours afterwards Law
son was in jail and the chain of evi
dence proving him to be the miscreant
was complete. When . .Lawson - broke
into .the window of the old lady's dwell
ing last night, Mrs. Poorman grasped a
pistol and fired one shot at him. A
struggle ensued during which Lawson
became possessed of the pistol, every
thing was turned upside down in the
room, the old lady's wrist was broken
and the damning outrage perpetrated.
Lawson took the pistol with, him and
"soaked" it for sixty cents' , worth of
liquor at the bar of the Columbia hotel,
where the marshal found it with one
chamber empty. .- .... .
Both Mrs. Poorman and the lady who
gave her the pistol "have identified the
weapon and the bar keeper of the Col
umbia hotel identifies Lawson as the
man who pawned the pistol. The shoes
of Lawson fit exactly- into the tracks
leading to Mrs.- Poorman's house and at
the window and there cannot be the
shadow of a reasonable doubt of Law
son's guilt.
Excitement i una high in the city and
the citizens express themselves very
freely as to Lawson's deserts. The mar
shal has removed him to the county jail
from the less secure cells of the old
court house. Marshal Gibons has done
a good piece of detective work on this
case and deserves great credit. Dr.
Doane is in attendance on Mrs". Poor
man who is doing as well as could be
expected.
A Daisy Game.
The Dalles base ball nine can play
good ball when they want to and : some
times they want to, but yesterday they
were not in it. A nine composed of the
railroad firemen went np to the grounds
and carried off all the honors there was
laying around loose. The firemen had
an old worn out scoop with two holes in
it which was used as a mask by their
catcher. He used the . holes to see
through and run the handle down his
vest. Though 'the handle bothered some
it served to keep him all straight as he
had the concern tightly corded to him.
It was not that particular scoop, how
ever, which the firemen gave the Dalles
nine, for the scoop they gave . was of
broader dimensions. The game was not
without its special features for one of the
firemen in making a run . to base saw
that he would have to slide in order to
get there ahead of the ball and he did so.
The friction on his pants proved too
much for them and after he . had scored
his friends kindly got hinj a barrel and
and he walked home in that. He pants
for no more baseball glory this season.
Engineer John Dexter -acted as umpire
and gave universal satisfaction.
Some Handsome Goods.
Mr. W. E. Garretson at 138 Second
street, is in receipt of a fine lot of goods
with which he has filled his windows
and show' cases preparatory to the com
ing encampment and fourth of July cel
ebration. It will repay any person the
walk of a few blocks to see the beauty of
the goods he has on exhibition. Par
ticular attention should be paid to a
black coffee set he has, which is ex
quisite. Many of the articles are of
nickel silver and hand burnished which
are as beautiful as is possible for any
thing to be made. ; ; He has a large line
of oxydized goods in almost everything
that one 'can think of from a napkin
ring to a button hook, cake basket
or a tea set.' His novelties are many,
and if the boys that come to play soldier
for a . week do not squander a lot of
their money for some of Mr. Garretson 's
goods, then the Chbonicle will miss its
guess.

JUNE.
And what bo rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days; .
The heaven tries if the earth be in tune, -
And over it softly her warm ear lays; -Whether
we look or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur or see it glisten ;
Every clod feels a stir of might.
An instinct within it that reaches and towers,
And, groping blindly above it for light,
. Climbs to a soul in grass and flowers.
The flush of life may well be been
Thrilling back over hills and volleys ;
The cowslip startles in meadows green,
The buttercup catches the sun in its chalice,
And there's never a leaf nor a blade too mean
To be some happy creature's palace.
The Vision of Sir Launfal.
The Catholic Clergy and Intemperance.
The Catholic clergy is taking a promi
nent part in the temperance movement.
It is not surprising, for no class of the
community is brought more immediately
in contact with the crime and misery
which the saloons produce. No class, is
better able to render effectual assistance
to the cause, than the Catholic clergy.
Their voice is often heard in advocacy of
total-abstinence, showing the fact that
the moral and orderly sentiment . of the
community is rivited on the question of
of restrictive liquor-selling. The truth
is at work in the public mind.
In New York city Father O'Hara at
one of the services in his church stig
matized saloons as "manufactures of
vice, crime and. debauchery." He told
all Catholics engaged in the liquor busi
ness, to quit it and seek some other honest
means of obtaining a livelihood. He
told saloon keepers that he did not want
their blood money, but that he did want
less drinking and drunkard-making. All
honor to the priest who stands for tem
perance, free schools and free thought.
On Government in Disgrraoefnl Business
At the request of American maltsters
and brewers a circular letter, dated De
cember 15, 1889, was sent out from our
department of state instructing Ameri
can consuls to Central arid South Amer
ica, Mexico and West Indies, to obtain
"as much information as possible con
cerning every phase of the malt and
beer business."
These consuls obeyed aud their replies
are given to the public. "The Argen
tines are not primarily beer drinkers,
but the taste for it might be encouraged."
"Mexicans will quickly acquire the
habit," says our Mexican consul.
Surely! with such a teacher as the
great "American government !
In the Bahamas the consul thinks, "it
will take time and patience to cultivate
among the people a taste for American
lager." But with brewers to furnish
incentive, with the secretary of state to
outline and indorse, and our consuls to
serve as agents, certainly this branch of
education need not languish.
From the same source, presumably
(and the department of state makes no
denial), the consuls to above named
countries in America, together with
those to Egypt, South Africa, China,
Japan, Australia and the South Sea Is
lands, make extended reports "on the
use of refrigerators, natural and manu
factured ice for the preservation of food
and liquids. Union Signal.
In Darkest Chicago.
Why don't our dry-goods merchants
and grocerymen place up a sign on their
establishments like most of the whisky
and beer places of this city do, informing
their customers that here is the "Ladies
Entrance" ? Why the need of a seper
ate entrance for ladies? Is not this a
tact acknowledgment, and yet openly
flaunted fh the face of the world, that
the saloon is not a fit place for men and
women to meet together? A man has
no hesitation in accompanying his wife,
or having her accompany him to any
other business house in this city ; but in
the saloon she must take One "entrance
and the husband the other.
Why is this? It is because there is
not a single saloon in this city into which
any decent woman ought to set foot.
The pictures on the wall, the horrible
language of the frequenters of the place
profane, vulgar, , smutty the sights
too often seen, even in the best regulated
places, for whisky make men drunk and
worae than bestial in the "toniest" as
well as the "lowest" of saloons all these
preclude the possibility of their being
regarded as fit places for women. .
But there is something more than this
behind the Bign "Ladies Entrance."
Watch the "ladies" who enter. Watch
their actions within. See the little com
partments and the easy way in which
the ladies slide into these compartments
with "gentlemen." See the beverages
taken in by the discreet waiter see his
nod and suggestive wink toward the
place as the door is shut ; listen, and
you will often hear the bolt draw or the
lock work. Then ah, then ! There are
many saloons in this city where scenes
of this kind may be witnessed all the
time. . .
There. are many regions of Chicago
which are saloon-infested to such an ex
tent that if one were to give a tabulated
list of the houses of business in order as
they occur, it wonld be somewhat in this
style: Saloon, dry-goods, bakery, saloon,
tobacco and cigars, saloon, ticket office,
saloon, grocery, saloon, concert hall, sal
oon, saloon, restaurant, saloon, tobacco
and cigars, saloon, theatre, saloon, cigars
and tobacco, dime museum, saloon, res
taurant, . saloon,- shoe store, saloon.
Each saloon will average three votes
one for the proprietor and two for assist
ants. .This gives a total voting power of
sixteen thousand eight hundred votes
cast as the vote for one man for one pur
pose, and that purpose the protection of
the saloon. These men have no other
politics than the perpetuation of their
own unholy traffic, and in determining
the fitness of any man in this city who
wishes office, the first, and about the
only question thsy ask is, "Is he a friend
to the saloon? If he is, vote him in !
If he is not, vote him out!" And if you
add to this number all those who are. in
trades connected with the saloon, and
therefore in a measure in sympathy with
it and dependent upon it, there is such a
vast voting power . uuder the control Of
the business that there is no wonder it
is found almost impossible to cope with
it. Union Signal.
