The Portland Savings Bank opened
its doors this morning.
-"" Gov. Pennoyer is addressing Southern
Oregon towns on populist issues.
Ool. Kevins is making some excellent
speeches in Union county and doing
splendid work for the republican party.
Mr. F. Menefee having resigned the
chairmanship of the county central com
mittee, Mr. J. M. Patterson was elected
to the vacancy.
A sensational report was current on
the streets today that Sheriff Kelly was
shot. The report could not be traced to
the original liar. '
The party of. miners who passed up
the river about a week ago in a gasoline
launch were forced to turn back owing
to the rapids at the mouth of the John
Day, which were impassable. They re
turned to Portland. .
Mr. C. E. Wolverton informs ns that
- it looks very encouraging from a repub
lican standpoint in Eastern Oregon. At
. Lower Powder instead of a flourishing
democratic club there two years ago is
substituted a more vigorous republican
s club, and whereas at Elgin two years ago
. it was dangerous for a republican to an-
nounce himself, there is now & large Mc
Kinley club - and republicans : are
enthusiastic.
Sheriff Ward arrested William Jordan
and Henry Judkins yesterday on a war-,
rant sworn out by Guy Southwell. De-
fendants were discharged from custody'

after inquiring into the matter, con
cluded that young Southwell was the
aggressor in having begun the assault
by striking Jordan with a club. Judkins
had no hand in the trouble except to
hold Jordan's horse, which attempted to
run off when the row began. Southwell
was pretty badly bruised about the face.

ory of some distinguished personage.

annual meeting of the National Associa

place in Galveston on the 8th, 9th and

An Ancient; A'pjrro. ';:
Kichard Hoops (colored) who claims
to have been born in 1770, is still iivinn
in a dilapidated little shanty on the
Cole county (Mo.) side of the Osae
river railroad bridg-e. He has occupied
the same uninviting- quarters for a
number of years. To all put-ward ap
pearances he is just the same that he
was twenty years ago. Occasionally he
does small jobs of work, but for" the
most time hunts and fishes, and is very
proficient in both the latter callings.
Some people think that crows are not
good to eat, but TJncle differs from
them. He considers crow meat only
second to a good fat possum.

S.
FOR SUPREME JUDGE.
Mr. C. K. Wolverton on a Tour Through
Eastern Oregon.
Mr. C. E. Wolverton of Linn county,
republican nominee for supreme judge,
was In the city this- morning, after a
week's absence from home in Eastern
Oregon, where he' has been, as he says,
"getting acquainted." ' He is making no
political speeches, as he believes . the
office of supreme judge should be as
nearly non-partisan as possible. The
nearest Mr. Wolverton came to making
a speech was in Elgin, Or., where he
was vigorously demanded, by the Mc
Kinley club of that place. : He begged
to be excused from0 speaidng for rea
sons as above stated, but noticing the
words on their banner "William Mc
Kinley, 1S96," eaid he had the honor of
voting for McKinley as a delegate to the
national republican convention, and be
lieved that in 1896 every one of his lis
teners would have the same opportu
nity. Mr. Wolverton is a gentleman of
of fine presence and has a very attractive
personality. He has been a member of
the bar at Albany for twenty years and
is almost a native of Oregon having
come to the slate with his parents in
1853 at the age of two years. For twelve
years he has been attorney for the state
board of school land commissioners. He
was a member of the convention that
nominated Benjamin Harrison for
president of the United States,, though
he voted for Wm. McKinley at the con
vention. Mr. Wolverton stands for re
publican principles and protection, and
will be elected by a handsome majority.
; ONLY REPRIMANDED.
Judge Bellinger Releases the Entire
Army After a Promise on Their
Pt.
Today's Oregonian says:
The anti-Coxey war is over, and peace
has been declared, at least so far as the
difficulties between the Portland's army
and the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany are concerned. The leaders had a
hearing before Judge Bellinger in the
United States district court yesterday,
and after making ample apology and
taking a solemn pledge not to disobey
the orders of the court in the
future, were discharged from custody
with a severe reprimand. The main
body of the army, under military sur
veillance at the Albina coal bunkers,
was also represented in court by an
attorney. They were also permitted
their freedom upon signing the pledge
their leaders had taken. The military
were at once withdrawn, and Colonel
Compton, with his entire commandleft
on the evening train for Walla Walla
The sympathizers of the army held a
demonstration on behalf of their friends
in the evening, and before. 10 o'clock the
army was again in camp at the old quar
ters, just north of the stockyards.

Dog Trains of Manitoba.
i In the northern district of Manitoba
dog trains are still in use,, and very
satisfactory is the time made by the
animals, who skim over the frozen
snow at a rapid rate. J A train arriving1
at Stanley covered three hundred and
fifty miles in four days well on to
ninety miles a day. The railway has
opened np communication with the
settled districts in southern Manitoba,
but the dog continues to supply the
best means of transit for passengers
and -mails in the spansely settled re
gions.
The receipts of the world's railroads
in 18S8 were 494,500,000; the expenses
were 300,530,000; net gains were JE193,
970,000.

ZUNI INDIAN DANCES.
In
Clog and Docble-bbnule Darkies Are
Kot to X!e Compared to lhem.
"The Zuni Indians are the original
wing and . buck dancers," said Mr.
George Sherman, a Denver man, to the
Fort Worth Gazette. "I've seen the
genuine plantation negroes in Louis
iana and Mississippi, and the minstrel
article, but they are simply not in it
with the Zunis.
"I went out to Tuscon, A. T., several
years ago, one spring, and we visited a
pueblo near where there are many Zuni
Indians.
A fellow with ns asked if we had
ever seen 'em dance. We said we
hadn't, and he said we'd missed a treat,
for they took the cake for fancy foot
movements.
He spoke to the old alcalde of the
settlement, and he called two men.
They were fine-looking men, not very
tall, but sinewy, supple and well
made.
"Without any preliminaries, they set
to, and of all the high jumping, side
leaping, heel-and-to& work, sliding,
shuffling I ever saw, that dancing was
the best. They were light on their
feet, graceful and quick as lightning
in all their movements. They whirled
away from each other with a pretty
heel-tap movement, spun around at the
same time, touching the tips of their
toes, turned a back somersault and
camo down like feathers, keeping in
perfect time. The only accompani
ment they had .was a rude sort of a
tom-tom and the whistling of a boy.
They danced for three-quarters of an
hour and weren't broken down.
This was on the bare ground, mind
you. Then a fine looking boy brought
a stone, not more than a foot square,
threw it on the ground, hopped on it.
and gave the finest clog dance and
double-shuffle, I ever saw. He had on
cheap, worn shoes, with the heels
nearly worn off, but he didn t mind
that. He spun around on his toes, on
his heels, danced with one foot held in
his hand, jumped up and clapped his
heels together twice and whirled about
on the toe of one foot. Then he beat
a sort of tattoo with the heel of one
foot, and made some fancy movements
with the other. He gave a few ring
movements that caught the crowd.
"After he got through with a num
ber ' of . difficult fancy movements he
jumped down . as fresh as a daisy.
There were other' dancers, and for ec
centric movements, fancy steps and
pretty figures I've never seen tlie like.
I understood that Primrose, the min
strel, saw these people dance once and
got stuck on 'em and tried to get 'em
with his show. They would make a
great hit." 1
JAPANESE SUPERSTITION
Savins the Drops of Water That Washed
the Priest.
The death,'funeral and cremation of
the chiefest priest of the largest and
most powerful Buddhist sect in Japan
was recentlv recorded. The funeral
were attended by many tens of thou
sands of people from all over Japan.
The person ,of this priest is so very
sacred, and anything that has come in
contact with it so very precious in its
merit and powerful in its efficacy to
save, that every drop of the water that
was used in washing the body after
death was eagerly sought for . and
gratefully received by the priests and
laymen alike. . : ,
Little bamboo 'joints were, nsed as
vials in which to . receive and. carry
away the precious fluid. This water
will be used as drops of saving elixir
when the body of some believer is
washed for its burial as a few drops
of the attar of roses might be used in
a bath and :the one receiving this
washinir will be insured ja safe and
happy entrance into the Ihiddhist Par-
