Bride is in good health. To an Orego
nian reporter he stated that in accord
ance with custom, Congressmen Ellis
and Tongue would meet with him in the
near future and, if possible, agree upon
the recommendations for federal ap
points in the state. This is a bit of
news that will be very gratifying to
about one-fourth of Oregon's male popu

these recommendations should be. made
so the unsuccessful could go to work.

Sirs. Bolton Dead.
Mrs. Elizabeth Bolton was found dead
in her bed this morning. About three
weeks ago while camping at the Mead
ows, she was stricken with paralysis,
and while she appeared to be rapidly
recovering from this, it was realized
that a second stroke might carry her off
at any moment. This is probably what
happened during the night and death
was perhaps instantaneous, as she
seemed very cheerful at bedtime, insist
ing that no one sleep in the room.
Mrs. Bolton, who was aged 6, came
to Oregon in 1849, and has resided near
The Dalles nearly ever since that time.
She was a devoted Christian woman,
having been an active member of the
Methodist church for years, and finding
her greatest enjoyment in attending its
services and in the society of Christian
people. Of a lively, cheerful disposition,
she was loved by her young friends! as
well as those of her own age. Her hus
band, Daniel Bolton, died some eight or
nine years ago..
She leaves four children living, Mrs.
Ella McFarlaud of Seattle, Zenae of
North Yakima, Simeon of this city, and
Wilbur of Antelope.

Fred. W. Wilson bad an experience
yesterday with a livery horse that was
neither pleasant nor profitable. He
had hired the animal with buggy at
tached, of Ward & ' Robertson, for the
purpose of driving out ftto the head of
15-Mile creek, and when out about four
miles, while going np a bill, Mr. Wilson
ot out to stretch bis limbs and also rest
he horse. He walked beside the ani-
al, holding the lines in his hands, and
ncidentally put oot one band and
touched the horse. The animal was
evidently not accustomed to petting and
t once made a lunge, jerked the lines
rom Fritz' hands and ran away. The
uggy was utterly demoralized, and the
oree finally stopped running, being
ersnaded thereto by the kin
ance of a barbed wire fence. JThe horse
was unhurt, but $40 worth of1 buggy has
vanished. The visit to 15-Mile did not
materialize, and the reason Fritz did
not walk home was because a farmer
gave him 'a ride.
