Stedves at Hillaboro is approaching the end. It looks a little . as though the jury would either bang or acquit. On Steeves first trial be was charged with murder, but the supreme court decided he could not be tried for any crime of greater degree than man slaughter. The suit for condemnation of lands belonging to F. A. Seufert, by the United States, which has been on trial several days in Portland, ended yester day. , The ' result is that Seufert gets judgment for $35,000 instead of $25,000 as on the first trial. A jury in the Taffe case was at once impaneled on the close of the Seufert case, and this morning visited the lands in question at Taffe' s fishery. The matter of making the Barlow road free is being agitated by people west of the mountains, and the move ment will meet a hearty iespone among the people of Wasco, Crook, Grant and Morrow counties. Blossoms of Oratory. General Killfeather,- . the flowery orator of the Oregon Democracy, whose blossoms of metaphor on the occasion of the meeting of the Democratic clubs here, made our court room look like an Easter bonnet, arrived last ; night. Whether it was the breath of his fervid eloquence or not of course we cannot say, but in less than ten minutes after he wrote his name ia the hotel "register, the ice gorge let go its hold and lit out for salt water. We remember . the gen erals flow of language and ascribe the movement of theice to his presence, for it moved General Head to getting drunk, and Pat Powers to getting or let us say, remaining sober. On that occasion the general, among other things, said, that "Harmony like a Noah's dove here found a resting place for eole of her foot as she sat on the giddy top of a noble fir and plucked an olive leaf with her lips."- "Harmony broods upon us," said he again, "from the sun-kissed summits of the snow-crowned Siskiyous, to the smiling bosom of the broad Colum bia." Killfeather has not been here for a long time, but The Dalles will never for get him never. j Katie Putnam Coming. y It is a matter of fact that the play "In Old Kentucky"- has cleared for its man agement, during the existence on the stage, more than $200,000. It is not every woman who baa eo great a fortune within her grasp, allows it to slip by ber and still' looks with equanimity upon the possession by another of a fortune that was intended for her. Katie Put nam has that experience. "In Old Ken tucky" was written for her, submitted to her, and the first payment made to its author by her. Then she and Harry Emery, her husband, sat down to read the manuscript. It was all right until Katie came to the part where the hero ine is made to put on the jockey suit and ride a race to -the winning. The jockey suit settled it. "I wouldn't do it," and she gave her curly bead a de termined shake one of those shakes that gives Emery to understand that the lig is up, ana it was up. The manu script was returned to Charley Dazey.its writer and the rest is theatrical his tory. The play was submitted to several others, but was not accepted. At length Jacob Litt heard it read and rather un willingly gave, it a trial. Now he would like to try several others like it. Mr. Dazey wrote a substitute for Katie Putnam, "The Old Lime Kiln." Critics agree that it is the better play of the two, and it is making a hit, and last sea son netted a handsome profit for Mibs Putnam. The play will be seen at the opera house Dec. 16. with Miss Putnam and her large company. ' , Repairing; Damages. The work of repairing the big flume at Hood River, about 700 feet of " which were carried away during the high water a few weeks ago, has been begun. The managers hope to have the flume and ditch completed in time to furnish water for next season's berry crop, but it is extremely doubtful if this can be done. When this ditch is completed it will furnisb, with the ditches now built all the water needed on the west side of the valley. - ' . Notice. MOST LIKELY A FAKE.

As a mat ter of fact the Spanish officers seem bet ter fitted for lying than fighting. This is the way the major explains how he knows the bodies were those of Maceo and Gomez. The Spanish column, without stop ping to explore the field, went in hot pursuit of the insurgents and followed them for a mile or more. Meantime, young Gomez is supposed to have com mitted suicide by Maceo's side. While the troops were returning to Guato, aft er the pursuit had ceased, various guer rillas belonging to Major Cirrijeda's command went over the field where the rout of the insurgents had occurred and searched the bodies remaining there for anything of importance. "The body of Maceo," Major Cirrijeda continued, "was releived of a ring, cloth ing, etc. The guerillas who performed the act were at the time quite un aware that the body was that of Maceo. In fact little attention was paid ' to the identity of the bodies. It dark on the field, and it Various other bodies searched." It was an adjuntant, according to Ma jor Cirrujeda's further statement, who insisted that the above-mentioned body and the other which was lying by He side, were evidently officers of import ance, and that tbev must not thus be left without identification. The two bodies were, therefore, tied by the feet to the tails of some horses," said the major, "and thus -dragged pver the ground, the intention being to carry them to town for identification. But, after proceeding for a while, the horses became tired with their burdens, and the bodies were therefore cut loose and left in the road," , When the troops reached Guatq, Major Cirrujeda proceeded to read the documents which had been found on the bodies, and which were described in a dispatch exclusively to the Associated Press yesterday. They include a letter addressed "Dear Pancho," signed "M, Gomez," a diary of Maceo's operations from .November 28 to December 7, and a note in pencil, found on the body of the younger man, saying he died rather than abandon the body of bis general, Maceo. The undershiits . and socks on the body of the older man were marked with the initials "A. M." and' a ring on the- finger contained the engraved in scription, "Antonio y Maria." After reading these documents, Major Cirru jeda sayB he became convinced that the bodies which his troops Lad abandoned were those of Antonio Maceo and young Gomez. But it was too late to return and recover them. - - With the insurgents' in the. battle, Major Cirrujeda say's was a beautiful Amazon about 22 years old. who urged the rebels "a la machete," but at the same time interposing to protect the prisoners. Major Cirrujeda has taken charge of the objects found on the body for fur ther examination. Therej was a gold watch, a splendid pair vf cuff buttons, made by Moreau Torin, Paris, with five pointed stars on . them ; an ebony handled hunting-knife, inclosed in a big strapped leather case, and a good water proof coat. All these were taken from the body by the scout Santa Ana. A Mew lint ton Fad. "There' is a new button fad in the East, which in due time, is likely to be all the rage in Walla Walla," says the Statesman. "The eastern girl who is fortunate enough to be provided with a sweetheart, no longer hooks her gowns. Neither does she use any pearl or metal buttons or any material from which but tons are commonly made. Her buttons are made of porcelain and each one bears the portrait in miniature of the sweetheart who may be miles away, but who usually is not. As this idea is ex ceedingly flattering to the youth thus honored and also infinitely satisfying to the girl who honors him, it is likely to obtain a vogue not limited to the effete East." That fad may work in Walla Walla, but The Dalles girls, with two or three dozen best fellows apiece, will not go around like the show case of a photo graph gallery. Besides we should ob ject to our portraits being worn by everybody. It Saved the Koad. Mr. Joseph Knox, president of the East Fork Irrigating Co. at Hood River, tells - us the recent high water in that 8tieam carried away the head gate and piled drift in front of it equaling, be says, 3,000 cords of wood, arttl turning the channel of the river. ' Had it not been for this drift lodging, the river would have changed Its channel and fol lowed down the counry road for half a mile or more. Besides this the county bridge would have been left spanniug a section of dry land, and another bridge would have been necessary. The East Fork Co. expects to, prosecute work vig orously on its, ditch in the spring. All-Steel , Clamp Skates, 50e a Pair. MAYS & CROWE. School Books Supplies. Jacobson Book & Music Co.
