The railroad boys are feeling good to day. A telegram was received from a friend in Omaha stating that Judge Col well had decided to retain the old rules and schedules. A later one said : "Everything is in our favor. Will start home today." Mr. G. W. Smith of sented this office with a new variety of potatoes, which he originated from a potato bail. The tuber resembles the Garnet Chili somewhat, is a prolific grower, is sizable and a fine keeper. ' He names the new production the Wasco Beauty. 7 The two steers which escaped from a band yesterday were in charge of Kelley Bros., for shipment on the Regulator. The one which was so roughly handled n the streets died 1 from its injuries shortly after it was impounded. The other was driven to Wm. Taylor's corral about a mile from the city.

E. R. Skipworth, of Lane is willing to make the race for secretary Mr. MORE LITTLE ONES. Gardiner Again In the City Little Myrtle Gibson. Supt. W. T. Gardiner of the Boys and Girls Aid Society, is again in the city. He brought with him four children from the home. One boy of 12 years, George Fisher by name, goes to Mr. A. McLeod. The boy parted from Mr. Gardiner with the regretful look of a child bidding a fond father adieu forever. Tt was really touching. "Good bye, my boy : be a good little man," was the kindly super intendent's parting words. Mr. McLeod Will not be long in gaining the little fellow's affections. He is apparently of a sensitive temperament. Two others are a brother and sister and go to Ar lington for adoption in the same home The other one is a juvenile hobo, smart. careless and "with fully as much knowl edge of the- world as is good for him. He said he was "jugged" in Portland, when Gardiner got him. He regarded the othcer more as a jolly crony than anything else, and would doubtless BUT to him "so long" in a nonchalent man ner when he leaves him forever. He goes to an uncle, Sam. Broyles, of this county. Mr. Gardiner said the little Gibson girl is perfectly satisfied with her new home, has not grieved over her mother, and is bright, saucy and tractable. Awfully FroToklsg. COUNTY CONVENTION. A Good Strong Ticket Named for Republican Candidates, Hon. W. II. Dufur Takes the Initiative In Introducing a Popular Measure Brilliant Speeches Close the : Convention.. The last legislature passed the follow ing law: "Women over the aee of twenty-one years who are citizens of the united btates and of this state, ehall be eligible to all educational offices within this state. All acts and parts of acts in conflict with this act are herebv . pealed." In Gilliam countv. conse quently, a number of ladies are aspirants lor the position of county school super intendent. Unfortunatelv for their as pirations, the constitution of Oregon, paragraph 8, article 6, says : "No ner- son shall be elected or aDDointed to a county office who shall not be an elector oi. the county." A. Baiolntion Overlooked. The following was one of the most im portant resolutions to be offered In the republican county convention yesterday. Kesolved : That in view of the unsatis factory manner in which assessments for the purpose of taxation are now made under our present laws and the tenure of office of county assessor, that we urge upon our members of the next legisla ture the necessity of changing the term of office of county assessor to six years, and that they be placed upon an annual salary equal to that of county clerk.

Sure' Shot at Use Mexican Silver Stove Polish. .. Nominations for county officers began about 3 :30 o'clock in the convention yesterday afternoon. M. T. Nolan moved that the successful candidate receive a maioritv of all votes cast, and Mr. Menefee moved that the oaiiotmg be done . by precincts. Four tellers were appointed and the balloting proceeded until at 6:15 o'clock-the last candidate on the ticket was nominated The nominations are as follows : " . Sheriff T. J. Driver. Clerk A. M. Kelsay. Superintendent of schools Troy aneiiey. Assessor F. H. Wakefield. Treasurer Wm. Michell. Coroner W. H. Butts. County commissioner A. S. Blowers Surveyor F. S. Sharp. . On motion of W. H. H. Dufur Frank Menefee was chosen chairman of the county central committee by acclama tion and H. H. Riddell secretary, the delegates to be chosen by the separate precincts. ,,. ai. i. jNoian moved that in case any delegate to the state convention'failed to attend, the. majority of the delegation should cast his vote, but the motion was overlooked and did not carry. On motion of W. H. H.Dufur; unanimously carried that the delegation be instructed to cast their vote for Hon. W. R. Ellis first.' lank and all the time. Earlier in the' session the following resolution wai passed. Whereas. At 'the session of the Oregon legislature, an act ws passea aooiisning "the fee system" relating to the pay of clerks and sheriffs and ' Waereas.' The palm-ion nf saiH -- a for Wasco county, as provided in said act, are greatly in excess of the compen sation allowed fnr lika - . 1 11 nix the ordinary avocations of business, mereiore be it Rpalvrii- That J uwt6awo Af LltH district convention be instructed to de mand a pledge of all candidates for the legislature, that if elected, they will use meir uesi enoris to secure the passage of a bill reducing the salary of clerk of Vasco county to $1,200 per annum, and that of sheriff tn tLWIi eether with all 1 Intro clerical aid, as provided for in said act. Mr. Anderson, of the committee on resolutions, now reported another hafoh of them, and Mr. Dufur arose and hand ed in another, recommending that the convention favor the passage of the in itiative and referendum which he wanted the personal honor of handing in himself. He supported it in a vigorous speech of some length. Mr. Anderson of the - Du fur delegation opposed it, on the ground that the members of the convention bad not had opportunity to study it. He had studied it and concluded that while the measure might be . feasible in such an old i settled country aa . Switzerland, which rarely changed nd comparatively rarely framed a law. it would not do W such a state as Oregon to adopt if, when i at me last legislature 600 bills and 400 joint ; resolutions were considered. nr only four minutes for the three readings, arguments ana nnal disposition of every bill for the 40 days session. He opined that the legislature would be flooded with bills from the people from which there would be no extrictation.' Mr. Dufur again spoke upon the merits of the bill, but did not a second time make an extended argument, and the discussion oi toe resolution came to an end by the chairman announcing that lack of time precluded extended argu ment on resolutions. . Mr. Anderson moved to indefinitely postpone the re mainder of . the resolutions and the motion carried. '. The. different precincts then named tne central committeemen as they were called : Falls M P Ash. ' - West Hood River--M P Isenberg. East Hood River E S Olinger.

" Mr. Nolan, on behalf of the conven tion, invited the chair to express a few republican principles, and in response Mr. Harlan arose. . Brimming over with good nature, with kindly regard beaming from his eyes, toward all who were in that house, he was greeted with applause as he arose. Hid speech was..forceful, with a liberal sprinkling of wit, and cal culated to heal the sore spots which are unavoidably made in conventions. He related the many beneficent acts of the party crystalized in legislation, and ac cused the democratic party of commit ting every crime for political ends murder not excepted. He referred to Bobs Mc- Kane of. Gravesend, and' Albert Ross, killed . a few days ago in Troy, for showing up a democratic repeater. His satire on Grover Cleveland was ' keen and finely drawn. After relating - what the democratic party was he made this statement: "Grover Cleveland is its president; RoswellP. Flower its gover nor x David B. Hill its boss ; and Waite, Lewellyn and Pennoyer its afterbirth." Repeated hursts of applause prevented the speaker from resuming for a full minute. He' also likened Grover Cleve land to a tar key hen which a farmer set on 72 eggs. The farmer replied, when asked what he used so many eggs for, "I know it was too many, but I wanted to see the old fool spread herself." Grover, trying to hover England and the Sandwich Islands, is letting the home nest get cool. Mr. Isenberg was called. He reluc tantly complied, but was .urged on by tremendona applause, by friends who knew of his great oratorical ability. He is a rapid speaker. Words flowr; from his lips as a resistless flood, held only in check by - the inflection necessary for proper emphasis. He wished to say that as one of the assemblies of Oretron.
