This afternoon Dan Maloney's condi tion is reported as much worse, and it is sot now expected that he will live through the night. The first paeeeiUfer coach for th Colombia Soother Railroad passed up the road last nnght. It ' was newly painted and looked as neat as a woman. The score at the Umatilla House last week was as follows: Monday. C. E. Porter, 48; Tneodav. Porter, 65; Wednesday, Bnrget. 51 ; Thursday, Este benet, 62; Friday, Maetz. 49; Saturday, Porter, 44; Snnday, F. Johson, 52. Yesterday Dr. Brnsins of Hmd River, was called in consultation with Dr. H-l-lister on Maloney's case. Yesterday Maloney had a high fever and symptoms of peritonitis, and this morning there is little if any hope of his palling through. One of the laree mats from the jetty at. the month of the Sinslaw, containing 36 cords of hrah, broke np last Wednes day, while efforts were being made to Sink it, and the brush floated np the river, canning something of a loss to the contractors. At the teachers' examination in Lake ! connty last week, William Lemon paped the examination for a state diploma.nnd Miss Wingfield was eranted a first-grade certificate. Mrs. Knox, Mrs. Houston and Mrs. Cora Charlton made applica tion for state certificates. At the Independent Warehonse Com panv'8 warehonse in Pendleton, there has been received for the last two weks an average of about 1600 sacks of wheat daily. All the time six men are bnsily employed and ' the warehouse is kept open until 8 o'clock at night. A convention the beekeepers and all interested in bee culture, will be held in Toledo, on Thursday, August 26, 1897. The ohjct of the convention is to organ ise the interests of all beekeepers of the connty for mntual good, and to discuss ' the important topics of bee culture and care of bees. t Government by injunction is a rather word she bad received from him for nearly four years. The letter brought, assurance that her father was alive and prosperous, and sent her the means to return to ber old home in Minnesota. Some eight years ago, leaving four daughters in Minnesota, Mr. Johnson and his son went to Washington, where they remained three years; then they decided to try their fortnnes in Alaska. During the first year of their stay in that country the daughters heard from them occasionally; then nearly four years passed with no news from the ab sent ones', and his daughters had given them up for dead, when the father re turned to his old home having been one of the lucky men in Alaska. HIS BODY CUT IN TWO. An Unknown Han Killed log a Ride. While .steal- uncertain method.' In Kansas the attorney-general had commenced proceed ings to enjoin the railroads from charg ing by the 100 pounds for carload lots, bnt Judge Randolph said he did not be lieve in government by injunction and put the hearing off. . Mr.O.W. Cook brought to this office to day some specimens of corn grown on his place on 3-Mile creek that reminds one of old days back in Illinois. The ears are about a foot long and are well filled clear to the tips. We note though that the cobs are larger and the grains shorter than on the EaBtern corn, but this is true of all corn grown on the coaBt. The specimens brought by Mr. Cook are way beyond the average for Oregon. A man named F. P. Riley has been trying to stoff the Tacoma papers with a story that he had come back from the Klondike with $85,000 in gold, which he had taken out in a few months, and which he carried on his back a distance of 600 miles on the Da! ton trail. As $85 000 in Klondike gold would weigh about 425 pounds, and as Riley carried that weight 26 miles a day for 23 days, he is entitled to the championship as the itrea'test pedestrian in America, or else the greatest liar. The funeral of the late Mrs. Elizabeth Bolton took place this afternoon at 4 clock, from the family residence. Some time ago Mrs. Bolton had ar ranged for ber fqneral, selecting pall bearers, and requesting tbat Rev. Wm. Michell conduct the .services. In com pliance with this request, the services were conducted today. A telegram was received this morning from Zenas Bol ton, and, as it was impossible for him to get here today, the funeral, which other wise would haye been postponed, took place this afternoon.

R. & N. track between Wallula and Umatilla Sunday morning by the train men. The bead, shoulders and arms in one piece were first found and a mile further down the track the remainder of the body was picked up. The man was probably stealing a ride on the passenger which backed down the track Saturday evening to Umatilla, when the accident tbat deprived him of bis life occurred. The body was cat in twain immediately below the arm pits. There was a fairly good, watch on the remains when found, but further particulars of the affair coma not oe learned today.

The old veterans of Portlond will not come, and Astoria, Pendleton and the balance of the teams depended on will not be present. If The Dalles doesn't want to pat itself on the back and have a good social time, it had better let go of tne tournament. , Heavy holders of wheat at Athena could not withstand longer the presenre of high prices and "let go" Friday after noon. Sales aggregating 180,000 bushelB were made to the Pacific Coast Eleyator Company at 76 cents for club, and 78 cents for blnestem. About 160,000 bushels of this amount were sold by funr large holders, T. J. Kirk, Mr. Cop pock, the First National bank of Athena, and C. W. Hollis. Tbe other 20,000 was made up of small holdings. Tbe receipt of over $135,000 at Athena for this "lit tle dab" of wheat alone will add much to the bneiness activity of that progres sive town. - A few days ago Misss Maggie Johnson, of Florence, in Lane' county, received a letter from her father, being the first Mrs. J. H. Wood and family returned on tne boat last night from a camping ptrip to Wind river. Mrs. Norman and daughter, who have been at Wind river for some time, ar- ived home last night. ' , Mr. Gas Bonn, who has been spend ng his yacation at Trout Lake, rnir rir on the boat yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Barnett and Miss Edna Barnett returned last night from an extended outing at Wind river. Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Van Duvn. wb have spent some time with the family of S. French at Sea view and at Portland, came up on the Regulator last night, and are guests at the borne of B. t Laughlin. Have Tour Grain. Few realize that each squirrel de stroys $1.50 worth of grain annually, Wakelee's Squirrel and Gopher Exterm inator is the most effective and econom ical poison known. ' Price reduced to 30 cents. For sale by M. .Z. Donnell, Agent.. 'x Creamery butter,,, sweet potatoes, lemons, etc., at Maier & Benton's, al-tf Col. Pat Donan was here ' yesterdav, gathering statistics for a book wbich be will get out for the O. R. & N., showing the resources of the country. Col. Donan prepared the copy for a similar work for tbe Rio Grande road, tbe first edition of which cost the company $40,000 dollars Donan has a style all bis own, ana to say that it is "catchy," does not do it justice, for while tbe qnaintness of bis arguments is always visible, it must not be lost sight of that there is always substantial facts behind them. One of the most startling calculations ever made! was that of Donan's concerning tbe unlimited wealth of Salt Lake. He proved by the analysis of the water and the accepted area and depth of the lake, tbat the minerals contained in solution by the waters of Salt Lake would load a train of cars reaching from the earth to the moon. That its value was greater than the entire national debt. He also made the statement wbich was laughed at at the time, tbat in one vailey in Utah was a bed of asphalt in which cattle stuck like flea in sticky fly-paper. Yet he was correct. Above all things Donan is observing. He noted as a remarkable coincidence tbe fact that Moses led the Hebrew hosts through the wildernees to tbe Jor den, which rises in a fresh water lake to empty into the Dead Sea. Tbat Brigham Young led his followers across the desert and located them just as Moses did, be yond the Jordan. Tbe old Jordan flos from a fresh water lake sooth 70 miles into the Dead Sea, the new Jordan flows 70 miles north into another dead sea. Pat Donan 'eft last night for Walla Walla, and from that point will follow the O. R. & N. line and branches, and will write concerning the territory cov- Donans' facile pen to make known in his own inimitable way the facts concerning this section of tbe great West.
