JUNE JOTTINGS.
Pith and Point Paragraphed by Oar
Pencil Pusliers.
Mv wife is jealous of each maid
I worship in my verse,
And ever dollar I am paid
For them she deems a cuise.
And though through them I buy her gowns,
Pay doctors' bills and rent.
At their fair nothingness she frowns,
Displeasure dire to vent.
One little secret I'd explain
'Twould set her mind at rest
But no, 'twould render her too vain
If she but dimly guessed. -
Those maids I love for sordid pelf
Should go unwhipped of blame,
For every one is just herself,
Called by another name.
Tomorrow is circus day.
The Dalies City will make the attempt

Three Instances Where Home
Tactnrlnc Is Unprofitable.
Charles Denton's wagon, which has
made daily tripe to The Dalles for twelve
years was made by an Oregon manufac
turing firm which failed for lack of pat
ronage. Yet the wagon is almost as
good today as the day it left the shop.
In 1858 a couple of brothers in Butter
ville, a few miles above Oregon City, be
gan the manufacture of plows and turned
out a more serviceable article than those
ordinarily sold today, bnt the farmers
would not patronize them and they failed
on account of the gaudy stripes and "finer
polish of an eastern output, which was
much inferior. The Dispatch also tells of
a fireworks manufactory which is today
suffering from the same cause, a lack of
strength. George Hughes is one of the
best pyrotechnists in the country, has
lived in Portland many years and has
always been able to make as good a dis
play as would be required at any cele
bration, and at the same rate or lower
than could be obtained east. Yet he is
obliged to stand by and see powder sent
across the country burned almost in
front of his own magazine and labroa
tory. The fireworks he has furnished
have always given satisfaction, but his
home institution is paralyzed. This is
npt the worst feature of the matter.
hile Mr. Hughes has been reasonable
his charges, and has also thrown in a
handful or two to make good measure,
he finds it hard work to collect what is
due for what he has furnished. The
republican celebration committee for
long years back owe him considerable,
and for last year' the democratic com
mittee has not paid, although it has
promised to settle several times and re
cently. So far Hughes has not been
able to secure an order for the Fourth of
July, and the people will have to be
content with the booming of Chinese
fireworks to celebrate the national
birthday.
In the face of these instances what
wonder is it that Oregon has no more
manufactories? The people must be
come better educated as to their duties
before thousands of dollars are hazarded
for buildings and plants. While an ever
lasting clamor is kept up in some quar
ters for manufacturing industries, let the
imaginary fabric be turned and gaze
upon the filmy foundation for such ex
penditures, which cannot turn wheels
nor long continue the busy hum of
manufacture without the financial aid
of the people surrounding them.
Merely Borrowed It.

OVER THE RAPIDS.
The Huntress Struck a Rock and Dis
engaged Herself.
The D. S. Baker, wharf boat and
Huntress laid at the Upper Cascades
yesterday until 6 o'clock p. m., on
account of the wind. A few minutes
after that time, everything being in
readiness, Captain Michell Morritsen
started over the rapids, with the long
wharfboat in front, the Huntress follow
ing, with the D. S. Baker securely tied
behind. As soon as the current com
menced to move the fleet, the engine of
the Baker was rapidly reversed, and
they went over smoothly and safely. At
a point about three-fourths of a mile be
low the foot of the locks, the Huntress
struck a rock, and shot out from her
lines, breaking them like threads. The
boat was left on a rock and the Baker
and wharfboat passed on. A strong
wind however came up and blew the
Huntress off and she took the current
and went after the Baker and wharfboat,
overtaking them just this side of Bonne
ville. Capt. Morritsen secured her
again and went on his way with the fleet
to Portland.
ABSOLUTE RULE.
The Unlawful Power Wielded Over
Community by One Man.
the
The Chronicle insists upon the right
to publish any bit of legitimate news,
and make comments upon the action of
any public officer. This is the right of
all newspapers and stands unchallenged
in any section of the country. For
merely publishing the statement that
an Indian was "bruised up badly about
the face by Marshal Maloney Sunday
night," that individual came into The
Cheonicle office this morning and for
bade the further appearance of his name
in onr columns. The event of the as
sault actually transpired and should
have been recorded in every newspaper
of the city that pretends to furnish its
readers with the news. It is one of the
most legitimate of news happenings, and
was of extraordinary reportorial impor
tance from the fact that the Indian was
badly hurt, and at one time it was feared
would lose an eye, as a result of his in
juries. It has come to a pretty pass if
one individual is to be allowed to terror
ize a community, hush its newspapers,
intimidate all of its citizens, and defy all
law. The act of Sunday night has been
pronounced by the justices of the peace
of The Dalles as lawless in the extreme,
and has been execrated by all lawyers
and citizens of the city conversant with
the facts.
The manner in which Mr. Maloney at
tempts to suppress the matteris evi
dence of its gravity. If The Chronicle
has related the facts, there can be no ob
jection to that ; if it has made misstate
ments redress is easily available to Mr.
Maloney through ordinary channels of
law, and The Chronicle will be com
pelled to defend a suit for libel. Upon
one thing the public may rest assured :
We will continue to publish all the news
we can hear of; and whenever necessary,
expose violence and crime, with the
hope that all law-abiding citizens will
support our efforts for the peace and
best interests of the community.

THE TRAIN WRECK.
C. C. Chase, a Tramp, Killed, Which la
the Only Fatality.
Telegram.
No. 1, which was wrecked near Port
land yesterday was pulled by engine No.
548, drawing eight cars. The train ran
into a cow lying on the track. Engineer
Sherman did not notice the animal un
til too late to stop the train and avert a
disaster. The engine was derailed
about 10 feet beyond where the cow was
struck, and ran for a distance of 120
feet with the wheels on both sides on
the ties to the left of the rails, when the
wheels on the left side left the track
and ran 130 feet further, where the en
gine was overturned. The tender kept
to the track for a distance of 70 feet
farther, when it fell to the left of the
track down a slight embankment,
one pair of trucks going 'over with
the tender, while the -other trucks
and the truck frames were thrown
off on the right hand-side of the track
and clown a steep embankment.
Mail car No. 1169 was attached to the
tender and was thrown down an em
bankment a distance of 75 feet to the
right of the track. The only fatality of
the wreck was caused by this car, which
fared the worst of any. A man, sup
posed to be a tramp, whose name is be
lieved to be C. C. Chase, was presum
ably riding the platform of the mail car,
and when the car was hurled down the
embankment be was taken with it. He
was picked up at the bottom, lying on
his right side, with the hind trucks of the
mail car resting on his 'left shoulder,
and his neck broken. He was wedged
in between the trucks and the ground
so that the trainmen were compelled to
dig away the earth underneath to ex
tricate him. This car was stopped by
bringing up against a huge stump after
the bottom of the embankment had
been reached. The trucks and pieces
were scattered all along the downward
path of the car, the rear trucks being
the only ones remaining under it. The
body of the car is badly damaged,
though neither side nor end is broken in.
The mail inside was all right. The front
end of the car plowed into the ground a
depth of about two feet.
George Avery, the fireman, ha9 had a
rather tough experience eince he com
menced his career as a railroader. To
a reporter he said it was the fifth
time he had been thrown out of his
cab by an accident. He thinks he
is very lucky to have escaped so many
times.
"The first thing I knew," said he,
" was when I was climbing up the
bank. I also saw the engineer coming
out of the top of the cab, and then I
began to realize that something had oc
curred." Two tramps were stealing a ride on
one of the rear cars, but succeeded in
getting out unhurt, though both were
very dirty. After dusting themselves,
they coolly produced a couple of cigar
ettes and proceeded to light them. One
tramp remarked sarcastically ; "This
is a h of a way for a railroad cam
pany to treat a fellow. I believe I'll
sue them for damages." Both then
started off down the track, heading for
Portland, just as if nothing unusual had
occured.
Just as soon as the accident happened
the conducter and the engineer
started to walk to Mount Tabor Villa as
rapidly as they could to report the ac
cident. They started to go almost im
mediately. Very Eoon after the accident the
claim agent of the company, who was on
board the train, passed among the pas
sengers to take their names and to ascer
certain who were hurt and the nature of
the injuries sustained.

diarrhoea. Having sold Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
for the past seventeen years, and know
ing its reliability, he procured a 25 cent
bottle, two doses ot which completely
