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. "
