ity for Another Congresssional
Commission to Report
Washington, May 8. The three com
monweal leaders Coxey, Browne
and Jones have been found guiity of
violating the laws by a jury of their
peers, and will have to submit to sen
tence, hereafter to be imposed by the
court, for their demonstration on the
capitol grounds. Thus enda what, aa
the leaders stated, was "the greatest
march ot the 19tb century' AH three
of the accjaed were tried on the first
count, which charged displaying a ban
ner upon the capitol gronnds. Jones of
Philadelphia was acquitted of the sec
ond charge, which accused him of tread
ing on the grass, bat Caxey and Browne
-were convicted. All the party received
the result smilingly except Mr. Hyrr.an,
who was on his feet with some '-jec-tions
to the form in which the vt diet
was presented, but who was sat upon by
bis colleagnes. The verdict was guilty
as to the first charge of carrying banners
upon the capitol groundB, against all
the defendants, and on the second
charge walking on the graBS of the
capitol grounds gnilty as to Browne
and Coxey, and not guilty as to Jones.
Attorney Lipscomb immediately en
tered a motion for a new trial and an
other in arrest of judgment. Judge
Miller gave him four days in which to
file the formal papers. Then the judge
made inquiries about bail, and Frank
Hume, a well-known wholesale grocer,
who several times baa run for a demo
cratic nomination for congress, in Vir?
ginia, signed a bond in $500 for each of
the convicted commonwealers.
MRS. LEASE THREATENED.
A Minnesota Crank Ha. Set the Day for
Her Funeral.
Wichita, May 8. The chief of police
. of this city received a letter today from
some crank residing Jn Kenyon, Minn.,
in which there was enclosed $10 to buy
"pure white flowers to be placed on the
body of Mrs. Lease on the day of her
funeral," which he sets for May 20ih
He also speci6es that a part of the
money mnst be used to purchase oil to
pour upon her feet. He says the Naza
rene came to him in a vision, with a
croes of blood on his breast, and com
manded him to kill Mrs. Leace the 20th,
that her designs to subvert His kingdom
on earth might be thwarted. He al
' leges the Mazarene also told him Presi
dent Cleveland was a man of honest
purpose, who would eventually straight

Prendergast, the assassin of . Harrison,
is going to be made an archangel after
being hung. Mrs. Lease has been no
tified of her danger.
A Neat Coop.
Sprague, May 7. The Coxeyites in
this vicinity this evening pprung a neat
coup on the Northern Pacific, which has
been working every possible scheme to
avoid taking a large mob of several hun
dred east from Sprague. The yards here
were full of cars. It being impossible to
move the cars without carrying the
Coxeyites who soaped the rails on a
heavy up grade east of the pity and de
fied the United Slates marshals and lo
cal police officers.
This evening, however, a train of live
totock, east-bound, stopped at' Harrison,
ten miles west, and the officials of the
road sent the crew and engine from here
to take the train east through Sprague
without stopping. The Coxeyites were
alert and one of them, evidently a rail
road man, familiar with air brakes, rode
the pilot of the engine back to Harrison,
concealing himself on the trucks of the
stock cars. This man put on the air
btakes as thw train reached Spragne,
neatly, stopping it at the depot. The
officials have ordered the stock unloaded
and swear they will not carry the com

Crop-Weather Bulletin.
The Oregon State Weather Service
gives out the following bulletin, No. 6,
for week ending May 8th for Eastern
Oregon :
Weather The temperature was much
cooler than the normal and the precipi
tation was deficient except about the
average along the Columbia and in the
Walla Walla valley. Frosts were fre
quent. The sunshine was about the
average.
Crops in the Columbia river valley
are still promising. Wheat is making
its usual rapid growth.- It is noticed in
some sections that wheat is changing
color slightly prematurely, which is at
tributed to the constant cool weather
during the past fifteen days. The soil
has sufficient moisture from which an
abundant harvest of cereal and grass
crops should mature. The desire is for
warmer weather, if not too warm to
parch the crop. Seeding of spring grain
is practically completed. Farmers are
plowing summer fallow and some of
them have finished. The fruit crop is
safe, not having suffered any damage
from the frosts. Some strawberry
bloom was injured. Gardens are being
planted. Lambing is progressing suc
cessfully; the loss is reported slight.
The outlook is for abundant crops which
will mature slightly later than the aver
age time.
Crops in the interior counties made
slow progress during the past week due
to cool temperatures and frosty niglite
Fruit trees are blooming in near.'y all
sections. In favored places the bloom
is thickly set and prolific. No bloom
has been injured by frost except peaches.
The Moom was canght in a critical state
of pollenation and the damage will be
considerable in some sections.' Spring
grain ia coming up in some localities.
Seeding Continues and gardening is pro
gressing. The cool weather has not
been favorable to the germination" of
garden seeds and grain. . Warmer wea
tber is desired to' advance the crops.

SHE SAW MRS. CLEVELAND.
The Middle-aged Womau Made a Ron
for J t and Uot There.
Women adopt all sorts of devices for
getting a good look at Mrs. Cleveland
On fine days the mistress of the white
house generally takes a ride in the
family phaeton, accompanied by her
babies and the nurses. In the after
noon between three and four, if the
sun is shining, says a 'Washington in
formant, she goes out in the victoria,
accompanied either by her husband ov
a friend. Women, young and old,
have discovered this habit of Mrs.
Cleveland, and are beginning to lie in
wait for her to catch her as she comes
out on the front portico to enter the
carriage. There is no privacy for in
mates of the white house, and so when
Mrs. . Cleveland goes riding she is
obliged to walk through the public
vestibule and across the public portico.
A day or two ago a bevy of schoolgirls
joined the waiting group on the por
tico, and when Mrs. Cleveland came
out she was obliged to run the gantlet.
When she returned an hour or two
later a funny thing happened. A well
dressed, good-looking, middle-aged
woman, evidently a stranger in the
city, was passing the street gate
when a carriage turned 'into the
circular drive of the white house
grounds.' The quick-witted sight
seer . instantly surmised that
the occupants were Mrs. Cleve
land and her babies. She saw a chance
to accomplish her long-felt desire of
getting a good look t the president's
wife and she did not miss it. The race
was a long one and she knew she could
not win it unless something happened
to detain Mrs. Cleveland after she ar
rived under the porte cochere. Lifting'
her. clothes in both hands she started.
up the circular pathway along the
drive at a breakneck speed. The pass
ers-by and the spectators at the door
applauded, and, perspiring and pant
ing, she reached the steps just in time,
for Mrs. Cleveland had stopped to give
an order to the coachman, and the en
ergetic lady was enabled to plant her
self where she could stare the presi
dent's wife in the face for at least ten
seconds, and could also see the babies
as they were lifted from the carriage
by the nurses and carried into the
bouse.
As Mrs. Cleveland disappeared in the
vestibule a gentleman standing by
said, admiringly, " to the female
sprinter: . "Well, you made it."
"Yes," Bhe said, mopping her face,
'folks from my part of the country
generally do." '

HINTS ABOUT DRIVING.
A Little Advice for the Benefit of Young
Horsemen.
' When driving you must watch the
road. - Turn out for stones, so that the
horse shall not stumble nor the wheels
jolt over them; avoid the inudholes
and places where the going is bad; let
the horse slacken speed when the road
becomes heavy, and if you want to
make up time do it where the - ground
slightly descends, says a writer . in
Waverley. ,
It is a common mistake to think that
a horse can haul a carriage easily on
the level. On such a road he has to be
pulling every moment; there is no rest;
whereas when the road now rises and
now falls tbe weight is taken "off him
at times and he has a chance to recover
his wind and to rest his muscles. As
between a level road in a valley and
an up-and-down road over the hills the
latter is by far the easier for a horse
to travel. When you come ' to a long
level stretch let your horse walk a bit
in the middle of it. .
Almost-. everybody knows that for
the first few miles after coming out of
the stable a horse' should be driven
slowly and especially if he has just
been fed. On a journey it is of the ut
most importance to observe this rule.
Be careful, however, not to check a
young nag too quickly when he comes
fresh from; the stable. Give him his
head, talk to him soothingly, and pres
ently he will come down to a moderate
pace. If yon pull him np at once you
vex him extremely, so much so that he
is not unlikely to kick.
Dr. S. F. Scott, Blue Ridge, Harrison
Co., Mo., says: "For whooping coattb
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ia excel
lent." By using It freely the disease is
deprived of all dangerous consequences.
There is no danger in giving tbe Remedy
to babies, as it contains nothing injur
ions. 50 cent bottles for sale by Blakeley

Lieut. Blank, of the army, is six feet
four inches tall, and .tips the scale at
two hundred and fifty pounds. He
was stationed- for many years in Wash

of the government, his writings being
well known to the scientific world.
Much of his writing was done evenings
at home, and he would sometimes carry
home necessary reference books, and
return them to his office at will. One
morning he gathered together snveral,
none of them very small, and, putting
them under his arm, started for his of
fice. In the course of his walk he was
brought face to face with a very black
little negro, who, with arms akimbo,
chin dropped, and his shining blac.i eyes
filled with woader, had planted himself
directly in front of Lieut. Blank. Before
the gentleman had time to do more
than take in this apparition of dark
ness, the little "piccaninny" had
thrown back his head so ai to be able
to gaze up into the lieutenant's face,
and in a tone of comical amazement
exclaimed: "Gude gracious, mister, is
you gwine to Bchool?" Youth's Com
