There is no truth In the report that
the people of Harnoy county are indig
nant at the action of Judgo J.. wis in ad
mitting Edward Oliver, the man who
shot Peter French, to bail, or that the
bond is a straw one. As the prosecu
tion presented a weak case, no other ac
tion was possible. The bondsmen are
among the best business men and lead
ing stockmen of the country, who could
raise the amount of the bond at any
time on abort notice.

there is no member of the club who has
so little interest in our city and the

not purely unavoibable. Mr. Judson
comes without solicitation, and there is
no doubt that he will speak on mat

Ab an outfitting point for the Klon

advantage in Portland, made a trip to
the metropolis for that purpose. As he
purchased a large bill of goods from

afternoon at the home of Mrs. W. A.

society presented Mrs, Kirby with a
very pretty birthday gift as a token of
their appreciation of ier faithfulness in

the visiting team are very

thing required, and that is an assurunce
that the game will be sufllciently pat
ronized to pay all expenses. In order
to do this a committee should take the
matter in hand and investigate the
same, and we are certain thut a guaran
tee can be given to the boys, and if this
is done the game will come oil'. As the
town is very dull at present, a little ex
citement of this kind would liven up
things, and we are sure that everyone
would apppreciate a foot-ball game very
much.

Unknown Body identMed.
At Hood River on the 10th day of laBt
October an inquest was held over a body
that floated up from the Columbia river
and lodged on the beach just below
town. The body had been in the water
for some time, and for that reason waB
buried near the place where the inqueBt
was held. The circumstances had been
almost forgotten. However, a young
man from Hood River was visiting at
the home of Mrs. Frederick Foster in
Portland a short time ago and learnad
that the husband and father had not
been heard from since the 27th of laBt
September, at which time he was in
Pendleton and about to start home. The
young man told the family that some
thing must have happened to him, and
then thought of the body that had been
buried at Hood River without being
identified. When he returned home a
picture of Mr. Foster was brought with
him, and the men who composed the
coroner's jury thought it the missing
man.
Last Monday Mrs. Foster came up
from Portland to have tho body ex
humed. All day Tuesday and until 11
o'clock Wednesday was put in in search
ing fur tho body before it was found,
the water being high and the grave not
distinctly marked." Mrs. Foster identi
fied the body as that of her husband by
he clothing.
The remains were taken charge of by
the Masons, of which order lie was
a member, and given proper burial in
ldlewilde cemetery yesterday ufter
noou. Mrs. Foster returned to Port
land today, where she will no longer
listen for the footstep that is never to
come.
Mr. Foster owned an interest in a
mine near Baker City, and had been
there doing tho assessment work on the
same.

A bulletin received from Portland to
day states that a rich coal strike lias
been made near this place. This may
all be, but the people ot this place are
unconscious of any such good fortune,
and we believe that the originator of the
report was mistaken at least, and in all
probability suffering from a more serious
mala
It is true that for a number of years
ouie of our business men havo been
irospeeting near Chenowetli creek, and
hat they are having tho farmers in
th
at section grunt them the rights and
privileges to any mineral claim that
hey may locate.J The company that is
foTiiglhe prospecting does not own the
land, and it is no more than right that
they who spend money in this venture
should benefit by it, and that the prop
ertyownera should grant them the right.
If this is done, a shaft will be sunk, and
if coal mines, or mines of any descrip
tion, are to be found, they will be opened
up as soon as possible, and it will prove
a great help to our city.as well as the
community at large.

citizens to help this project along, ad

Death or D. L. De Wolfe.
Daniel L. De Wolfe, a former resident
of this place, died at Newball, Cal.,
yesterday afternoon. Jess Crandall re
ceived a dispatch to this efiecS last night
which stated further that the remains
would be sent here for interment, and
requested him to meet them in Portland
tonight.
While in The Dalles Mr. De Wolfe
was engaged in the business of a car
penter and builder. A few years ago his
health began to fail and he and bis family
moved to California in the hope that
the mild climate of that state would
help him. The change did not seem to
improve him and he continued to grow
weaker, until yesterday the dread con
sumption claimed its victim.
He was about 35 years of ago and was
a member of tho Workmen and Wood
men lodges of this piece. He leaves a
wife and one child, a mother and a sis
ter to mourn his loss.
As yet the time for the funeral has
not been definitely eet, but it will in all
probability take place Sunday afternoon
under the auspiceE of the Woodmen and
Workmen orders.
NEWS NOTES.
England is hurrying her warships
from British Columbia to the Chinese
waters. This looks very much like war.
A report received this morning states
that Gladstone is nearing the end, and
that it is not likely that he will bee
England again.
A special bulletin was received from
Portland this morning stating that coul
has been discovered nvar The Dalles,
and that it is of great value. It is
strange that Portland should he so ex
cited over this matter, to which our
people pay so little attention, and know
less.
Such information us the state depart
ment has received as to the situation in
Havana is confirmatory of the unofficial
dispatches, and shows Unit quiet reigns
in the city, unci that tho impression of
the ofllciuls at Washington that the
riotous excitement had either exhnusted
Iteotf for the time being, or had huen
completely suppressed hy the strong
hand of the government, is justified.
During Tuesday's session of the Nica

increase the nation's commerco, stimu

the effective value of the United States

visit Wushlnglon and personally urgu
the necessurv legislation.
