Mr. Alex. McLeod has been very nn-
. fortunate this year. The Dufur Dis
patch reports another accident to that
gentleman. . He accidentally got his
left hand nnder the blade of a leed chop
per last Monday, which so mangled the

amputation necessary.
Henry Kemino, of Farmington, in
Washington county, was attacked Mon
day by a mad boar. He was. driving
the hogs out of a stubble .field when the
infuriated animal rushed npon him and
thrust his tusks into Kemino's thigh,
above the knee, striking th'e bone and
lacerating the muscles. A doctor was
called and dressed the : wound, and
thinks that if blood-poisoning should
not set in the man will get along all
righc. -
A phenomenal pumpkin - vine, was
raised this year by Mr. - Burchtorf on
Mill creek. It covers a epaoe as large
as that between the four corners of in
tersecting streets in The Dalles. It
bears twenty-two large pumpkins of au
average weight of 24 pounds, to say
nothiDgof the small ones, and hence has
over 440 pounds of pumpkin.. The vine
can be seen by' anvone curious enough
to walk up on ' the hill, besides other
vegetable curiosities worth looking at. !
The worst piece of road in the county
at the present time is that between The

line of this road, and the only one for
which those property owners, contribute.
Being the main traveled road from Sher
man county it should be repaired as
soon as possible. .

Kinley clab have been very elaborate
An enormous procession of McKinley
voters will be preceded by the band, and
companies of drilled men wearing uni
forms, and the line of march will be
taken, ending at the Vogt opera house.
There will most likely be as many fail to
get in the opera house as the vast num
ber it will contain, for Gen. Williams
has a national renown and Is universally
loved and respected. - '.
TO-NIGHT'S PARADE.
The Greatest Political Demonstration In
the aistory of The Dalles.

, Mb. Etjitor: -I presume , you would
like to hear 'something about politicks,
asjt is rather a scarce article in'the pa
pers these times. I tell you they're
bilin' hot out here. I went to the Brian
club t'other night and I want to tell yon
about it. The first speaker was a very
substansbal, venerabel lookin' old
farmer. When he got up, ses . I to a
nabor, "There's the kine of a man the
farmer wants to . represent him." Ses
he, kine a snappish like, "It's all in the
turn out." Ses I, "If that's so i'le bet
bet my old, bl ine mare on J the slick
chap." I seen a. feller like him (with -them
shinin' collar and cuffs on) at our
county fair an' he turned ont square
boxes out of an ole bat an' piltd them
up on the platform 'till they wud fill a
wheel bar a. The ole gent told us he bad
bin a Republican forty years an'-worked
hard for them, and they wud give him
nothin'. They put him off at. the pri- j
mary ; then at the county cbnvcnshun ;
then at the state, so be got tired and
sed : "This is a government- of the j
peepel an' every man for hisself, so he
joined the popocrats." .He told nt then
about Senator Mitcbel startin' out a
silver champion an' then goin' back on
them an' eed he (the speaker) was sorry
he done it. He then told us about the
Republicans gittin' scared, and after a
feller named Moody, ' in Chicago, . ad
visen' them' to appoint a day for prer
an' ask God to help them to elect Mc
Kinley ; but he sed, 'We are- goin to
elect Brian anyway, an' if God wants to

he was goin' -to confine hisself to trre

Lord God made the heaven-an' the
earth."." He repeted this three or tour
times 'till his ' wind eiv' out. Then he
