Office in the Vogt block. "
The trial of X. N. 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. - '

Major Cirrujeda warbles about Ma-
ceo's alleged killing in a manner that
convinces the thinking public that be is
lying like the trooper he is. 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.
