Shearman will preach at the Christian church tonight at 7 :30. - Bran and shorts (Diamond mills) $13 a ton at Joles, Collins & Co. 'a 2w Owing to the death of General Varney the Coffee Club did . not hold its usual dance last night. Two drunks were up before the city recorder this morning, and are now in charge of the street commissioner. Mr. H. H. Gilfrey, legislative clerk of the United States senate, is visiting his friends in Oregon. He is at present in Portland. A marriage license was issued today to James A. Croseen and Auburn E. Story. The wedding will take place this even ing at 9 o'clock. Frank Egan while using an adz on the Regulator wharf yesterday cut himself in the knee, in Buch a manner that he will be disabled for a week or two. . Our advertisers will please take notice that ads. will not be changed until the next day if brought in after noon. This rule hereafter will be kept strictly and no exceptions will be made. A light sprinkle of rain this morning got onto the dust and settled it, and .at the same time the sun came out, caus ing a remarkably distinct and beautiful rainbow. : The city recorder has moved his office into the old office formerly occupied by jKnaggs. The street commissioner has taken one corner of the room for his office, and this morning they set up a new stove, so they expect to stay there all winter. f The first annual state fair of Washing- ton was opened at North Yakima yester day, tiovernor McGraw was expected to formally open the fair, but failing to ' arrive this was done by President Parker of the board of commissioners. Colonel James Hamilton Lewis made a stirring speech. Quite a delegation of Knights from Wasco came down yesterday to visit Friendship lodge and pay their respects to tne grand chancellor. .Among them were J. W. Armswortby, Henry Krause, V. C. Brock, M. A. Murchie, R. P. Orr, P. Spangler, H. T. Murchie. and last, but far from least, genial Joe Marsh The boys had lots of fun coming down, breaking their hack and doing consider able walking. At least fun is what they called it, but wet fancy that walk was performed with the same cheerfulness that the fox exhibited in abandoning certain historic grapes. The supper given by the K. of P. last night was gotten up by Mrs. Frazier and was one of which Bhe may well feel proud. The tables were - handsomely decorated with flowers, and there was everything good to eat imaginable. Eighty-five knights sampled the good things and each and all of them have something to say in praise of that supper. County Clerk Kelsay has a large sized contract on his bands in the sorting and labeling of the old documents filed in his office. He is getting them in ex cellent shape patting them in packages with the year and kind of instrument indorsed thereon, and then filing them away in boxes. When he gets through it will be possible to find in a short time any paper ever filed in the office. It will take a months' steady work to com plete the job. The example of Stengele in killing Mrs. Calvin at Portland a week ago, seems to have stirred up others to try the same thing. A case of this kind is reported from Heppner this morning, a man kill ing his wife and then himself. How the report reached here we are unable to say, or to learn the names of the parties ; but it is said to be true. Parties who came up on the train last night state that some other crank killed a woman in front of the Columbia hotel in Port land yesterday evening. In sorting over the papers in the clerk's office some ancient documents are brought to. light. This morning we noticed an old chattel mortgage given in 1855 to W. S. Ladd. The papers were fastened together with a piece of braid, and the ends secured by sealing wax. The seal of the county clerk is a gaudy affair of wax and green paper with a bow of green ribbon to match. Mr. J. A. Simms was at that time clerk, his official eignature reading, "County clerk and by law recorder of Wasco county, Oregon Territory. Literary Notes. President Eliot, of Harvard, has writ ten for the .October number of The Forum an essay in which he points out the reasons why the American republic will survive, in which hu makes an in ventory of the great forces in our politi cal and social life, and shows that very many of the institutions upon which we pin our faith have proved insufficient in the past, but that there are others, to some of which little attention is paid, which he argues have brought new forces into human society, and which are likely to give out institutions permanence. It is in every way a most remarkable essay. - . . ., - At Pease Hays. ' The crahd opening at Pease & -Mays' laBt night was a brilliant success. The ladies began to assemble before the doors were opened, and at 7 o'clock quite a crowd was present. When the doors were thrown open the immense store looked like a fairy palace. The decorations .were superb, the blending of colors and graceful draping of laces and other goods showing - exquisite' taste, The spacious floors were .crowded by a delighted throng until 10 o'clock. The music furnished by the Orchestral Union was a new and pleasing feature for such an affair, and was thoroughly enjoyed. WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Sept. 21, 1894. "Growing better all the time," was the cheery reply of Chairman Babcock, of the republican congressional campaign committee, when asked how he regarded the outlook for electing a republican majority of the next house. And that isn't all. In addition to having a good working majority in the next bouse the members of the committee are confident that the republicans will control not less than twenty-six of the etate delegations in that body. The importance of the last can scarcely be over estimated. It will head off an attempt which the dem ocrats have been calculating to make to throw lhe election of the next president into the house by casting the solid dem ocratic vote in all the northwestern states for the populist electoral ticket in '90, provided, of course, that-they can control a majority of the state delega tions in the next house, as they do in the present house. With a majority of the state delegations republican the next president is bound to be a republican, no matter whether he be elected by the electoral college or by the house. The nomination of Hon. Levi P. Morton for governor by the republicans of New York was reeeived with much pleasure in Washington, where Mr. Morton became exceedingly popular during his term as vice president, and the belief is general that he will carry the state by a much larger majority than the presidential ticket of Harrison and Morton did in 1888. It is thought that this belief was shared by Governor Flower, and that it was the cause of his declining to be the democratic candidate against Mr. Morton. Whitney is the first choice of the administration for Mr. Morton's opponent and Dan Lamont the second. It is thought that Senator Hill is perfectly willing to allow either of them to make the run to defeat. The democratic officials of the treasury department have found time to get up such a big row among themselves that it has culminated in the forced resignation of Jeremiah O'Rourke, supervising archi tect, and the deposed official is making mysterious threats about making ex posures which will bring out a sensa tional political scandal, involving sev eral prominent members of the adminis tration. Altough it is known that Mr. O'Rourke and several of the . officials immediately under him, particularly chief clerk Kemper and Mr, Fleming, chief of the law and contract division, both close personal friends of Secretary Carlisle, have been constantly at logger heads over the administration of the office for months past, the real cause of the trouble is politics, and the fact that the two senators who secured O'Rourke's appointment Smith and MePherson of New Jersey are no longer in good odor with the administration. - The two minor officials referred to have tried to run the architect's office solely in the in terest of the democratic party, while Mr, O'Rourke had sufficient pride in his profession to wish it to cut some figure in .tire work of the office. The final clash came this week, and Secretary Car lisle stood by the minor officials and de manded O'Rourke's immediate resigna tion. The position is one of the best under the treasury department, paying $4500 a year, but requiring a man of marked ability to fill it as it should be filled, and no man of that sort will hanker after the place when he knows how O'Rourke was forced out and that the men who did the forcing are to re main in tho office. The rumpus in the architect's office has in a measure detracted public atten tion from the steady decapitation ot re publican officials in the treasury depart ment, under the reorganization provided for by the last session of congress. The law, it will be remembered, abolishes several entire bureaux, and it was at fiist supposed that all of the employes of those bureaux would simply drop out of office on the first day of October, when the reorganization is to go into effect, but Secretary Carlisle had a scheme worth two of that, from a partisan dem ocratic standpoint, and he seldom occu pies any other. Had all employes of the abolished bureaux been dropped it would have canght as many democrats as re publicans ; hence Mr. Carlisle's scheme to select the clerks to be dismissed from all branches of the treasury department. And to add insult to injury it was given out that only those clerks whose records were poor would be dismissed. Up to this time nearly 100 have been dismissed and they are all republicans and some of. them have been for years considered among the moat efficient employes of the department. These dismissals have also given Logan Carlisle an opportunity to vent his spite against the high grade women employes. He declared when he first went into office that no woman should hold a position paying more than $1200, and if he is allowed to have his wav there will soon be none in his de partment. Cas. The K. of P. Last Night. The visit of Grand Chancellor Wad dle to Friendship lodge, K. of P., last night was thoroughly appreciated, and the hall was packed to its utmost capa city. ' After the lodge work some very neat speeches were ' made, that of V. C. Brock being given the position of honor. A half hour soon slipped by and then an adjournment was taken to the European House, where covers were laid for eighty-five. It was a visit that will be long -remembered by all present. Grand Chancellor Waddle left on the delayed passenger this morning for the Cascade Locks, and will make an offi cial visit to Waucoma lodge, at Hood River tonight. " Guaranteed. Care.
