PEASE &
JOHN BROOKHOUSE DEAD.
Still the Pioneer Fans Away One
by
One They Leave Us.
It was a surprise to most of the resi
dents of the city this morning about 11
o'clock to hear of the death ot John
Brookhouse.which occurred at 10 o'clock
at the Skibbe hotel, All have been
aware that the old gentleman had been
in failing health for many months, but
even the recent attack of grippe, with
which he has been suffering for the past
five days, did not seem a cause for alarm.
However, in his weakened condition,
proved too much for him to stand, al
though, yesterday he seemed quit
strong.
Among the pioneer residents of T
Dalles and vicinity none were more f:
miliarly known than was John Br
bouse, who for the past thirty-five ye
nas been- going in and out-among
with bis pleasant manner and wi.
greeting for all, making him not oh
favorite with his companions, but th
children as well. Within the past yea
or so his steps have been noticed to fal
ter, his jokes were less frequently tol
and he seemed to be growing weary, a
do many who have passed the three!
ecQSWBlfll'-ten years.
John Brookhouse was born in Castle-
bar, County Mayo, Ireland, on Novem
ber 1, 1822, making him 76 years of age
Before leaving Ireland he was marriet
to Catharine x Clarke, who died at tb
home ranch on Tygh Ridge, October K ,
1883. He came to America forty yeai 3
ago, and lived in Minersville, Penn., fc r
five years, when he came - to ' Orego:
settling on a ranch on Tygh Ridge a:
engaging in stock raising, where be h
since lived, "with the exception of a fe
years, when he was a resident ot this cit.
jNine cnuoren were born to- Mr. an
Mrs. Brookhouse, four of whom' survi
him Mre. F. W. L. Skibbe. at whose
borne be died ; Mrs. E. Boynton, of The
Dalles; Mrs. Brittain, of Sampler; and
lohu Brookhouse, of Dafur. Three sis
ters also mourn bis death : Mrs. ' P.
Gorman, of Kingsley ; Mrs. WmV Red
mond, of Grass Valley, and one in Ire
land, whose name we failed to learn.
It is always with regret that we chron

icle the death of our pioneer residents,
and realize that within a few years the
last one will have passed away. Mr.
Brookhouse will be greatly mlEsed, be
ing one of those good-hearted, whole
souled men, who make the world Lap
pier by their presence.
The funeral will take place from the
Catholic church at'9 o'clock Wednesday
morning. All friends are invited to be
present at the service.

the

Mrs. Mary Scott Myers was introduced
as installing officer, and in a beautiful
and impressive manner installed the

President, Mrs. Lizzie Ulrich; Sr. V.,
absent; Jr. V., Mrs. Myrtle Gifford;

tended. He was informed that the out
breaks would n"t change the depart
ment's plan, and that the Second Ore
gon would be sent home as soon as re
lieved by regulars. "
The Army and Nayy Register says re
garding the delays :
"The decieion of the president to mus
ter out some 50,000 of the volunteer
forces has not yet taken the form of ans "
order. The regiments to go have prac
tically been decided upon, but will not
be made public at present. It is known,
however, that the war department has
decided to allow between 19,000 and 20,
000 of the regulars who enlisted "for the
war" to go. This will leave about thirty
regiments of volunteers to be retired.
The department would have issued the
muster-out order some time ago had it
not been decided to giye the troops mus
tered out additional pay. instead of fur
loughs. The troops who served outBide
of the United States will receive sixty
days' additional pay, and those who did
not reach the front will be gieen thirty
days' additional pay. Congress has
been requested to make the necessary
appropriation, pending which, the muster-out
is delaved.
FROM THE CAPITOL..
Klncald Matter Thonght to be- Spite
Worn Forty Days Will He
Consumed.
Capi-TOl, Salem, Jan. 16. It is re
ported that the matter in regard to Kin
caid ie spite work. It is not likely that
any official investigation will be made,
outside of the regularly appointed com
mittee. It is reported that the entire assembly'
will visit the agricultural college this
week, going to Corvallis by special train.
A bill will be introduced in the house
this afternoon reducing the state board
of agriculture to five. -
Interest now centers in the scalp
bounty bill ; also the railroad and tem
perance measures are receiving much at
tention. It is supposed now that forty days will
be consumed by the legislature in clear
up the calendar.
Company l Organized.
Saturday nipht at the Armory Co. t.,
Third regiment; O.N. G., was organized.
Col. J. M. Patterson mustered in forty
one members, who are now ready tp face
Spaniards or any other enemy which
may imagine they can withstand the
soldier boys of the United States.
Captain Hollister, N. G. V., was ex
amining surgeon, only one applicant
failing to pass examination.
Election of officers was an important
feature of the evening, and, as was antic
ipated, Lieut. Gus Bartell was chosen
captain. A better choice could not have
been made. Mr. Bartell has been
identified with military interests in the
city for some time and is well np in -military
tactics. Other officers chosen were
R. A. Spivey, first lieutenant and D-ivid
Johns, second lieutenant, both of whom,
judging from past deportment in this
regard, will fill their positions well.
Daring the evening Captain Bartell
drilled the new company, which bids fair
to be a credit to our city. "
