A. J. Wall, of the Eigh-mile menag
erie, met with a loss yesterday that
touched the very tender spot in his heart
for the brute creation. Mr. Wall has
had a deer end a monkey in a small en
closure and the deer yesterday for some
reason or other got mad at the monkey
and stamped it to death. The poor little
thing having been chained to a box was
powerless to get out of the way.
Emissaries of his Satanic Majestic are

The Dalles, Portland & Astoria steamers

them false and misleading. Designed

When the Hood River delegation

considerable inquiry for the Cascade

Finally a Hood River man vouchsafed
the information, "to be kept quiet,"
however ; that the Locks delegation had
all joined together and sent their prox
ies to Col. Sinnott. But it was not kept
quiet, and pretty soon candidate after
candidate, who had been let into the
secret, began to lead Col. S., a lively
racket. He was totally in the dark,
himself, and it was several hours before
the true situation was revealed. Col.
Sinnott enjoys the joke hugely, and the
knowledge of the inside workings of
county politics which it afforded, will
last him until the meeting of the next-
convention.

. . Enjoying: Their Passes.
Last evening at 8 o'clock a jolly party
or tnirteen eastern general passenger
and ticket agents, male and female, sat
down to dine at a feast spread for them
by mine host Sinnott, at the Umatilla
house. They had been doing Portland,
and came up the Columbia by steamer,
meeting their coach "Glacier" here,
which was attached to the 12:06 a.m.
east bound passenger today and they
went on their way rejoicing. The ladies
of the party say they have not enjoyed
any part of the trip, from the east via
California, better than this, via The
Dalles. The gentlemen all had business
which occupied their attention, at the
meeting of the Transcontinental Asso
ciation at San Diego, which meeting by
the way, was not a complete success as
the attendance was rather light. Owing
to the absence of several members of
the committee, considerable business
was laid over until the next meeting,
The reason given for the light atten
dance is that the railroad men could not
spare the time occupied in traveling, as
one of them informed a representative
of The Chbonicxb, "It is our business
to remain at home, and let other peo
ple do the traveling." ;;

DeTotion to Politics Rewarded.
McD. Lewis, of Wapinitia, ' says he
made his first haul out ot politics yea
terday. It was not a big haul to be sure,
it was only the value of a boar pig, but
he got the pig, and he got it as the re
ward of his devotion to democratic prin
ciples, and got it honestly to boot. Mr.
Lewis bought the pig from Jno. D
Whitten, of Kingsley, and placed it in a
dry goods box. to take it home in a back,
Going down Tygh Hill the pig raised the
lid ef the box and Jumped . out, without
notifying its owner. . When Mr. Lewis
got to the Tygh store he discovered his
loss, and thinking the pig was gone for
good, he determined . to drive home to
his ranch. Just then, however, he met
wicked defender of the McKinley tariff,
whom he desired to convert from the
error of his ways, and as' the person in
question was a tough case, a couple of
hours were spent in vain effort to con
vince him that the tariff is a tax. At
the end of that time a neighbor, who had
found the errant pig, was seen driving it
towards the Tygh store. Thus a couple
of hours spent in missionary work, de
voted to -the interests of tariff reform
were rewarded by the restoration of the
lost pig, and that is how Mr. Lewis
made his first haul out of politics.
