Hon. Geo. W. Harper of Carrol ton,
Ga., the newly appointed agent of the
Umatilla reservation to succeed Mr.
Crawford, has arrived at the scene of his

A change has taken place in the owner
ship of the Pendleton Tribune, the plant
and good will having been purchased by
a company of journeymen printers, viz :
George F. Halsey, Clarence Macdonald,
Garry L. Judson and John P. McManns.
Tramps are used to work on the streets
whenever they are available, but this is
not often; The Dalles is the freest town
of train ps on the Pacific coast, and when
Mayor Kreft comes down every looming
and anxiously inquires of the recorder if
there "are any in jail this morning,"
his features more often express disap
pointment than elation.
The decision as to the location of the
insane asylum was to have been made
today. Whatever the result, The
Chronicle is satisfied as to the purity of
the motives of the commission, whose
honesty it will never question. .: They
have a peculiarly disagreeable duty on
hand,in that whatever the decision is it is
almost sure to anger and prejudice other
competitors, The Dalles can afford to
be manly and generous, even if the de
cision proves adverse to its hopes.
Capt. Lewis is almost continually in
receipt of letters from people in the east
asking about the features of Wasco
county, which he cannot reply to for
lack of time. There should be a large

of this section. We are sadly in need of

much lees ventured. However, if the
eastern readers of The Chronicle will
follow the advertisement on the fourth
page for a year they will Rain ' a very
good knowledge of what this country
holds out to the settler.
A party from the Cascades informs us
that it is apparent to everyone that an
extension of time will have to be asked
to complete the work, for it is impossi
ble to finish it by the time stipulated.
He believes that the extension will
easily be granted.
What Is Killing; the Calves?
Mr. Robert Mays is alarmed about the
mysterious disease which is killling off
nis calves, uut of a herd of ZOO, which
are in a pasture supplied with every
convenience and capable of accommo
dating twelve times the number now in
the pasture, over a dozen have died and
are still dying at about the rate of one a
day. This stock is fat and seemingly
have every comfort, but the disease kills
them in a few hours, and they die with
out a struggle. He left this morning for
Tygb Valley and will try a change of
pasture, but is nonplussed, and does not
know what measures to adopt to stop
the ravages of the strange and fatal ail
ment. '

Thbee s thousand salmon it is

win with one haul of a net near Port
Angele, Wash., recently.
Mrs. O. P. ayite, of Gainesville, Ga.,
killed thirteen rattlesnakes in the lot
around her home, with a piece of fence
rail, a few days ago. They averag-ed
about two feet in length each.
An old Maine fisherman has been
living in a dory all summer, cruising
about Penobscot bay catching and cur
ing fish. ; He has camped in rough
fashion on the islands, hasn't slept in
a bed since last May, and avers he has
had a very fine time.
One curious result of the hurricane
that struck the southern coast recent
ly was the killing of quantities of fish.
For many days after the storm the
coast around Savannah and throughout
the stretch where its force was most
vented was strewn with dead fish of all
kinds. ;
Poisonous snakes are so numerous
in Venezuela that snake bite is almost
as common there as in India. But there
are fewer fatalities, for the natives
have discovered that a plant known as
the ocumillo, when powdered and ap
plied to the wound, results in a cure in
almost every case.

A Peculiar People.
- A. LeRoy, D. D., as promised, lectured
last evening on "A Peculiar People."
As the speaker announced in his open
ing remarks, it proved to be a peculiar
lecture. Nevertheless it was a lecture,
and in it were said many wise things.
Mr. LeRoy is eomething of an artist,
also, and the lecture was illustrated with
paintings of peculiar people whom he
had met, among them Hulda Lewis,
Boss Tweed and the Veiled Murderess,
all of national good or bad repute. The
three " eccentric governors were the
object of some keen shafts from Mr. Le
Roy. Referring to Pennoyer he .said he
was a great man in some respects, but
with the privilege of the audience he
would exhibit a grater. He then un
wrapped a package and exhibited a tin
greater, purchased from one of our hard
ware stores. Mr. LeRoy has changed
his opinion of the governor since the
latter's desertion of the democratic
party. - -

John Hull, 'murderer of Cummings,
is that sort of an individual who is often
represented as the hero in the litera
ture of the dime novel order, and conse
quently the ideal of the small boy reader
of those works of stirring fiction. ' Now
that he has-wound up in the un -Beadle
like position of a man to be tried lor
murder and the occupant ot a strong cell
in Wasco county: jail, such boys may
awake to a trne realization of how these
bold bad men, who -are dextrous with
the Tise of a revolver and bowie, are
viewed by society at large.
Hull, according to his own story, told
in a mock heroic style to Deputy Sheriff
Ph'irman, was born in Texas, and was
raised in "Missoury.'- He has princi
pally followed the occupation of a
freighter, and ia always prepared for
surprises by a liberal supply of guns and
ammunition, carried in a leather belt
around his waist. He Was a good shot
and afraid of nothing. He was inter
rupted at this point in his story by Mr.
Phirman politely asking him to remove
his shoes. ' '
"Sir,' said the astounded prisoner
with the air of one' who wishes to im
press his questioner that he has made a
mistake, which he is' liable to answer
for with his life.
"Take off your shoes 1" repeated-Mr.
Phirman, with a little more command
in his tone.
"What for?" insisted Hull, but be
ginning to weaken. .
"Take 'em off," said Mr. Phirman
for the third time, and the look of the
eye which Hull met convinced him that
the deputy really wanted them off.
That ' was all, the test of strength had
been made, without a violent movement,
and the prisoner meekly took off his
shoes, and after an examination of all
his clothing, submissively followed the
officer to the cell awaiting him.
The thirty-twa years of life among a
rough element where the acrne-of educa
tion is to be "handy" with a revolver
availed nothing to Mr.. Hull after he had
committed a crime, and in the tore
going tale lies a moral which boys who
read yellow-backed novels instead of
history and good books may well heed.
