The East Oregonian man, in the lan
guage of Lt.-Col. Patterson, "has had a
dream." In the issue of yesterday that
paper savs :
A movement is on foot to secure lorfl-iy after 2 o'clock
quarters of the battalion of Eastern
Oregon. The battalion is what is left of
the Third regiment, and headquarters
are now at The Dalles. The three com
panies now in the battalion are at Pen
dleton, The Dalles and La Grande. Pen
dleton is the most central point and has
recently organized a new company,
fitted up the nneet armory in the state,
outside of Portland, and has now the
liveliest and most efficient company in
the eastern part of the state. The move
ment for the establishment in Pendleton
of military headquarters will be backed
by all who are specially interested in the
brass band here, since the law provides
substantial aid for the regimental band,
furnishing considerable equipment at
the beginning, and paying regularly $300
per year toward the band's maintenance.
Such encouragement as this would place
the band in poeition of comparative opu
lence, as musical organizations regar it.
Lieut.-Col. Patterson was shown the
above, which is adorned with very large
headlines and occupies an important
space in the local columns of the East
Oregonian. He commented upon it
thuely: "Well, the man who wrote
that article has just had a dream. I
regard it as simply amusing. In the
first place there are five companies in
stead of three. Secondly, our band is
the fineet in the state. Again, our
armory ball 19 unsurpassed outside of
Portland. You might mention its size
0x11 used exclusively by our own
company. And, once more, there is no
danger of removing the headquarters to
Pendleton as long as I am lieutenant
colonel. Pendleton has a very line com
pany. 1 am proud of it; but no one
outside of the East Oregonian man has
any perious idea that the removal of
headquarters is contemplated."

iThe third political event of its kind
took piaceat ure court nouse tnis atter
noon, beinathe Populist county con
vention, which was called to order short-
There were fifty or
sixty delegates present from all over the
ountyJvA. comprehensive glance over
theasseifibly revealed a different cast of
countenance than that which character
ized the conventions of the Republi
can and' Democratic parties previously.
The men who occupied the front benches
at the court house this afternoon were
sedate and grave. They are comprised
for the most part of the toilers in the
fields, the men who plow and sow and
reap, and earn their bread literally by
the sweat of their brow. They snatch
the time required to investigate politics
from the hoars needed for labor to clothe
and feed them and their families. They
have seen prices decline in the commod
ities they raise, during a Democratic
administration, and seek to re-establish
them through recourse to legislation, and
believe it can best be done through a third
party and hence they assemble in an or
derly American manner to nominate a
ticket, the members of which will stand
upon the platform of their peculiar
principles. Their faces betoken deter
mination and honesty, whatever else
may be said about them. a Their air of
thoughtfulness is more noticeable then
at any former county convention. They
provoke the impression that the weight
of a nation's policy rests noon their
shoulders. They have leaped at abound
from farmer to statesman, and - upon
their brows rests . a becoming and
troubled dignity. There were the old
war horses of the party ,chastened by de
feat, but grim and determined as ever.
Seth Morgan, the father of the party - in
Wasco- county, was there, minus his
old-time controversial readiness ; honeBt
Jack Elton, aging in years in the bar
ness ; and A. Li. Keese, that younger
leader, who has a gentlemanly bearing,
and plenty of Populist argument in his
inside pocket. These and many others
who nave sat oetore in convention were
there again today and ready to grind the
the bi-yearly grist.
The convention was called to order by
J. A. Taylor, who declared nominations
in order, and by acclamation Mr. H. F
Davidson of Hood River was chosen to
preside. Hood River also yielded Mr,
H. L. Howe for secretary.
The committee 'on credentials were
appointed as follows: J. H. Aldrich,
John Elton and J. A. Taylor,
The committee on order of business
were W. J. Harriman, R. F. Wickham
and Seth Morgan.
A recegs was then ordered, bat as the
hour was late, a continuation of the re
port willbe given Monday.

A DASTARDLY DEED.
Brother of Mrs. VanNorden Killed
Through a Fit of Rage.
Sheriff W.B. Taylor.
Clerk H. L. Howe.
Treasurer Seth Morgan.
Judge Frank Taylor.
Mrs. F. H. VanNorden of this city is
stricken with grief today over .the in
stant death of her brother at Latrobe,
near Sacramento Tuesday, who was
murdered without provocation at a mo
ment's notice.
The young man, Walter Freeman by
name, was only 22 years old. He was
an amateur athlete, a sport in which be
took considerable pride. While indulg
ing in a little recreation with his friends,
presumably in a club room, he engaged
in a wrestling match with a friend, and
threw him to the floor. He laughingly
turned and was walking away, when the
fellow arose from the floor, pulled out a
dirk knife and running up to Freeman
from behind, drew it across his throat.
The jugular vein was severed and Free
man expired in a few moments. These
details are all that is known of the affair
at present and were contained in a letter
to Mr. Van Norden, which he received
this morning. It was deemed nnadvis
able to telegraph the newB, fearing the
shock to the sister of the deceased. The
friends of the stricken lady will deeply
regret her sudden bereavement, more
especially in the dastardly way in which
the deed was accomplished.
Berlons Accident.
A serious accident happened to Mrs.
Rich on Wednesday. While driving to
town with her son George and Mrs. T.
A. Tern pie ton and daughter, the back
seat of the hack, in which she and Mrs.
Templeton were seated, gave way and
the two ladies were thrown - out of the
buggy. Mrs. Templeton was only
slightly injured, .but Mrs. Rich was
seriously hurt and we learn has since
been paralyzed from the' hips down.
