Weegenman, who will pay the charges. octJ0-3t The stores are already arranging their decorations, and tomorrow the city will look gay with the national colors and portraits of the man who fooght for them. All classes of citizens should lay aside their usual business or avocation next Thursday and devote themselves to the grand celebration of the opening of the locks. Mr. Hermann is a voteuiaker. Wher ever he has appeared he has done the Republican cause incalculable good. He will be greeted tonight with a rous ing reception, Mr. Willis Dunriiway, of Salem will speak in the interest of Republican principles tonight at Fairfield; also at Wasco, Sherman county, tomorrow afternoon and Monday at Moro. The campaign is nearly ended. The two most important speeches of the campaign will be the one tonight by Hon. Binger Hermann and the one by Hon. Rufus Mallory Monday night. Mr. Mallory will also be reinforced by Hon. E. L. Smith, a Republican presi dential elector. A few days ago the Mountaineer asked why, if Mr. Hanna was bo sure of carry ing the Pacific coast states, that he sent out one of their strongest speakers, Hon. Thos.' B. Reed, to stump California. We do not know. Here is another. If Hanna was not sure of carrying Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, each of which states has a larger electoral vote than the three coast states combined, why does he spare Hon. Thos. Reed from those states to fool away bis time in Califor nia? It is very easy to a9k questions.. Mr. W, B. Pressby, chairman of the Klickitat Republican county central committee, has performed arduous labors for the cause of sound money. During the last ten days of the cam paign he has arranged for forty assign ments throughout the county. Golden dale has about 200 votes; out of which the McKinleyites expect to get. 80 ma jority. Centerville and Goldendale are concededly. the strongest Republican precincts of the county. White Salmon, Lyle, Hart and Blockhouse will give Re publican majorities. Bickleton, Cleve land and Dot will give Democratic ma jorities. . The county will go for Mc- Kinley by a majority of at least 250. Program of Celebration. The committees on celebration of the opening of the locks met last night at the Schanno hall, and entered into a general discussion, lasting late in the evening. The committee on "program have formulated one with the following general features: Excursion by boats and trains from all points above and below the Locks. Opening of the locks at 2 p. m. Excursionists will then procceed to The Dalles, where the city will be illu minated. Guests and citizens will form a pro cession and march along the principal streets,' ending at the Yogt opera house, where an address of welcome by one of our leading citizens will be responded to by some of the guests. Brief speeches will also be made on the part of the visitors. A grand barbecue banqaet will then be spread at the Umatilla House, served by the ladies of the city, and the night will close with a grand ball at the Bald win opera house. The other committees have gone en thusiastically to work, and the coming event will be the greatest ever known in The Dal!es. Howe's Mill Buned. COUNTING THE BALLOTS. Result In Oregon Should be Known Quickly Blanket Ballots In Others. Rowe's sawmill, a few miles down the river on the Washington side, was burned Wednesday night between 10 and 11 o'clock. This was practically a new mill, fitted up with the latest im proved saw mill machinery. It is now a total loss. It was insured for $1,200, about one-fourth its value. The fire was of incendiary origin, but there is no clue to the perpetrator. The high water had removed all saw dust and debris from around the mill, and having a sheet-iron roof, it could not have caught fire by accident. Mr. Rowe will probably rebuild, but he will not do so immediately. 11 ow t Vote. Look carefully how you prepare your ballots next Tuesday. See to it that your X mark is placed opposite the names of X T. T. Geer of Marion conntv. X S. M. Yoran of Lane county. X E. L. Smith of Wasco county. X J. F. Caples of Multnomah con ty. . These gentlemen represent prosperity, sound money, protection, and will cast the electoral vote of Oregon for the honestly-nominated candidates of the Re publican party McKinley and Hobart. What fraternal beneficiary order ranks as No. 1 financially ? Ans. The Enigbts of Maccabees. Save thk wrappers Hoe Cake Soap wrappers are worth a cent apiece. Ask Pease & Mays for premium book. jly24-i The vote of Oregon can be counted very quickly, owing to the simplicity of the ballot and the few names it contains. Each ballot will have but four marks upon it. The vote of The Dalles should be counted within three hours atter the pollsclose, and the complexion of the state should be known by midnight, un lesss it is so close that the outlying pre cincts aDart from' telegraphic communi cation must be waited upoq. In most cases these outlying precincts will only serve to swell McKin ley 's majority. Grant, Harney and Crook counties are concededly Republi can, and if it should chance that Bryan has a majority of those counted on Wednesday morning, which is a very wild supposition, the vote of these dis tant counties will overturn it. In regard to the vote of other states, while we have an advantage in time, 6 o'clock in JNew York being - about three" hours earlier than the same hour in Oregon, there are blanket ballots con taining hundreds of names,' and the work of counting will be necessarily slow. The last two ' presidential elec tions have been singularly free from un certainty. It was known at 10 p. m. on election day in 1888 that Mr. Harrison had defeated Mr. Cleveland, and it was known with equal certainty at 11 p. m. on election day in 1892 that Mr. Cleve land had defeated Mr. Harrison. But in the election of 1884, when Mr. Cleve land defeated Mr. Blaine, the official re sult hung in doubt over the vote of New York for days. Since the laBt national election almost every state which had not then adopted the Australian ballot has, by state en actment, prescribed some form of secret ballot either based upon, or closely re sembling, the Australian system. Ore gon has complied with the system in about all respects except registration one provision that belongs absolutely the system and without which it does not much improve the character of the ballot, since it does not prevent coloni zation of voters. There is no preventive against a carload of hobos coming into the city of Portland a day in advance of the election, stowing away in the North End, and then going out Tuesday "to sweli the Bryan -vote. The old system of voting prevails in Georgia, Louisiana, North and South Carolina. In tbe first three states named the old open-ballot system is still in vogue, and the election machinery is in the hands of the state authorities. In South Carolina there is what is called a "reform ballot," the object of which is to restrict tbe votes of illiterate negroes. Connecticut has an enyelope system and New Jersey prints each party ticket upon a separate ballot. The fusion tickets will add a further element of difficulty in tbe presidential count this year. Fusion has been ar ranged between the People's Party and the Democrats on the electoral ticket in every Democratic state but Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia. Alabama, Florida and Texas. In several of the Southern states, while there has been no formal fusion between the Republicans and Populists on state, legislature and congressmen, local arrangements have been made that amount to fusion, and will have more or less to do with the result. The following states will elect gover nors : Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Massa chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis souri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hamp shire, New York, North Carolina, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Wash ington, West Virginia and 'Wisconsin. The following states will elect legisla tures: California, Colorado, Connec ticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, In diana, Iowa, . Kansas, Kentucky (seven vacancies), Michigan, Minnesota, Mis souri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Penn sylvania, South Carolina, South Da kota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. - An Kast JKnd Crime- There was a piece of villianous work done in this city, not very far from this office, that we intend to ierret out, and as soon as . it is done we will pub lish a statement that will cause people to open their eyes.

The way to a man's affections, it is said, is throngh his stomach. The ladies of the Christian church will fur nish meals on election day in the store formerly occupied by W. At Johnston on Washington street. ' If you find a man undecided as to how he should vote, take him around and gorge him with chickens and other delicacies, then he will surely vote light.
