The Antelope Herald says : "It is ex
pected that Antelope precinct will poll
no less than 175 votes on the 3d of next
month. Every sheep man should let
nothing prevent all his herders coming
out to deposit a vote for McKinley,
sound money and protection. Tbia very
election means life or death to this sec
tion, of the country. If McKinley is
elected, this part of the country will re
cover some day, but if Bryan is success
ful, then good bye to the sheep in
dustry." . '
Th Tearing; Down Policy.
A nnmber of Popocrats, curiosity
seekers and Republicans assembled at
the Baldwin opera house Saturday
evening on .the occasion of the Bryan
meeting. Attorney A. S. Bennett was
billed, but failing to be present, the
time was taken up by W. S U'Ren.
His talk of about two hours' length may
be designed in the one word "flighty."
He Bkipped so quickly from point to
point, in the endeavor to cover the
whole field of Popocratic' argument,
that it was strongly reminiscent of a
boy walking quickly along a picket
fence trying to touch every one. . The
line of argument was no different than
all who have preceded him in this cam
paign abuse of everyone but the im
pecunious and improvident. So grossly
and inexcusably insulting were his re
marks to those who represented the
business interests of the community
that many of them arose and left the
hall. It is not this kind "Of argument
that will make votes for the Bryan
cause, as they will short) v find to their
sorrow. Viltincation and abuse does
not make converts, and the entire
Bryan campaign seems to be staked on
the prejudice they will arouae against
the industrious and well-to-do. Through
envy and malice they hope to win the
fight, by taking advantage of an un
fortunate industrial condition of the
country, brought on by eight years of
Democratic misrule. . TJ'Ren'a voice was
for disorganization, revolution and re
pudiation. He was to have spoken at
Dufur, but the failure of Mr. Bennett
resulted in his infliction upon The
Dalles.

THE LAST HOURS.
Fair Now
The Kiglith Annual District
a Matter of History. c
The eighth annual fair of the Second
Eastern Oregon District Agricultural
Society came to a close Saturday. When
the last note of Ma Angeline had died
away the fair had passed into history.
There waa an average croud in the pa
vilion and the band rendered some ex
cellent music. The attendance in the
afternoon at the grounds was good for
the closing day and some excellent
sports were witnessed.
The first race was a matched one be
tween Solo and Nellie Whipple. Al
though Solo bad defeated Nellie Whipple
on the previous day, the talent picked
Nellie as a sure winner. In the first
heat the bay passed Solo at the quarter
pole and led from there to the wire,
winning in 2.56. The next two heats
surprised talent. The knowing ones
who backed Solo were rewarded by hi in
taking both heats and winning the race.
Time, 2.52 and 2.55.
ALer the trotting race, came the run
ning half-mile dash for flOO, with
Lark, Pat Tucker, Blue Jay and Lady
Fisher as starters. After some joekev-
ng by the boys, the flag fell and then
commenced one of the best trials of
speed ever seen on the track. A blanket
would have covered the horses at any
stage of the race. They came down the
stretch neck and neck, with Blue Jay in
the lead, bat just before the wire was
reached Pat Tucker ripped by him and
won the race in 61 seconds.
The last race of the meet was a three-
fourths mile handicap for $125, Tom
Clark, Baby Ruth, Latah, Gen. Coxey
and Colonel T were sent for the purse.
Tom Clark was left at the post. Gen.
Coxey won the race, closely followed by
Baby Ruth and Colonel T. Then was
when the trouble began. One of the
men belonging to Tom Clark's stable
made for the starter who had left his
horse at the post. A free fight followed,
reminding one of the Donnybrook fair.

unusual pressure. Mr. Benftett was op

The Home Comfort People.
Many newspapers in this vicinity are
taking up the lament of that part of its
constituency who bought Home Comfort
ranges. The scheme was this. The
agent who sold the stoves, while exact
ing an iron-clad note, 'promised the
greatest leniency when the time came t
pay. When this time comes a Sin on
Legree appearing individual appears n
the scene and insists on the letter of the
contract. The 'money must then be
forthcoming in full or the stove is taken
away lrom the unfortunate purchaser.
The Grant County News recently had a
column article exposing the scheme in
all its details and ia now threatened with
a libel suit The Goldendale Agricul
turist also exposed it in its last issue for
that community. The Antelope Herald
has, also, this to say : Tne Home
Comfort cooking stove collector has
made this section a Vi6it and brought
with bim sorrow to those who had
bought his stoves with the understand
ing that they were to have time in pay
ing for them. After all it pays to pat
ronize your home merchants, wi.oni you
can trust.'"

Judge Bennett returned this morning
from Dayton, Wash., where he has been
for four days on . the trial of Mrs Ellen
Walker against the O. R. & N. for the
killing of her husband some two years
ago on the Washington division of the
O. R. & N., between Balles Junction and
Starbuck. The trial lasted four days,
and after it was riven to the jury they
deliberated on it but two hours, render
ing a verdict tor the full amount eued
for, $40,000. This verdict is the largest
ever given In the United States within
our knowledge lor a death. Mr. Ben
nett spoke for forty minutes, hie words
therefore possessing an average value of
$1000 a minute. He is said to have
made a very eloquent and touching plea
in behalf of the widow, which affected
the jury to tears. He also roundly
scored the railroad company for not
keeping the track in better shape. The
evidence showed that owing to the de
fective roadbed, the engine, which was
unusually heavy, fan over an embank-
