VOL. XI THE DALLES, OREGON. TUESDAY, MARCH 7, 1899 NO 284 STOCKMEN SAID: TO LOSE HEAVILY Oyer 150,000 Cattle PeM on tie Oiien Eanse. AVERAGE LOSS, FOUR PER CENT Heavy Losses' to Sheep Reported From Utah. Wyoming and Parts of Ore gon The Latter Shows Lightest Loss. Denver, March 6. From reports which have been coming to the head quarters of the National Live Stock As eociation for the past month the officers of the association estimate the losses from the recent storms to cattlemen who have herds on the open ranges at six per cent of tbe entire amount. This, in round numbers, would amount to over 750,000 bead. The reports have been received from leading stockmen and are considered accurate as far as they go. Oregon, Washington and Arizona suf fered very little and trill haye only nom inal losses. California is still suffering from drouth, and, the outlook is bad. The losses in Wyoming, Colorado and tbe Dakotas as yet have not averaged 4 per cent. In Northern and Western Texas and Northeastern New Mexico and through Southern Oklahoma and Indian terri tory the heaviest losses have been with so-called "through cattle," , that is, cattle being moved north from the Sonth reaching in some sections as high as 20 per cent. Taking the range section as a whole, for the present time tbe losses will average 4 per cent. With the most favorable conditions that can be expected, additional losses may be looked for before spring, and should the weather continue bad through March, a heavy loss will certain ly result. In Utah, Wyoming and some parts of Oregon heavy sheep losses are reported. It is feared that there will also be heavy eheep losses in Montana. Wyoming re ports some instances of losses reaching as high as 30 per cent, and some claim that if March furnishes much bad weather the sheep loss in that state may reach 25 per cent. In Western Utah the conditions appear to be almost as bad. In several instances the reports give tbe average for this section as being 20 per cent. These two states are the greatest sufferers of any reported. In New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska the reports are not so dis couraging. - Heavy Losses of Sheep. Lubk, Wyo., March 6. Heavy losses are reported in bands.of sheep ranging in the vicinity of. Lusk. , 'The various sheep camps are snowed in at low points where the sheep were gathered and held for protection. The herders are short of rations and in many cases have been obliged to abandon tb.e herds to reach the settlements. The sheep are rapidly dying off. Losses are estimated at from 50 to 60 per cent. The loss of cattle is n,ot so large. " TWO ARMED HIGHWAYMEN Held Up Seven Men on a Tacoma Bicycle Path. Tacoma, Wash., March 5.

They laid a log across tbe path and stopped the travelers as they came to it. The first man was a candy maker who had a bundle of aprons, which they used to bind their prisoners as they came, one by one. After robbing them, they tied their hands and feet and laid them in a row in the brush. At 11 o'clock tbe footpads went away, leaving the victims bound. One man aged to roll over where another could untie him with bis teeth, and they gave tbe alarm, but tbe robbers had fled. About 9 o'clock, two men, presumably tbe same, held up T. O. Abbott, a prom inent attorney, a few blocks from - the same place, but he broke away and escaped. , VON DIEDEPICHS SUPERSEDED Prince Henry Placed in Command of Germany's Asiatic Fleet, to Show Friendship for America. Berlin, March 6. A high official of tbe German navy department has in formed the Associated Press that the. appointment of Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of Emperor William, to tbe command of the East Asiatic squadron, had been considered for months past, and was finally decided upon as being the most expedient, the emperor desir ing to- show the American people that be is thoroughly friendly to them, know ing Henry is popular in the United States. When the official referred to was asked whether the appointment was equivalent to the disgrace of Admiral von Diedericbe be said: "Not exactly. If ' Diedericbe had shown more tact last summer before Manila, it wonld undeniably haye been productive of good results all around. Our government, unfortunately, was ad vised too late of a number of occurrences before Manila, none of which were really important, but which showed grave want of tact upon Diederichee part. The above is important, as being the first German official admission that there haB been trouble between the Germans and Americans in Manila bay . I.a Orlppe Buccessf ally Treated. "I have just recovered from the sec ond attack of La Grippe this year," says Mr. a Jas. A. Jones, publisher of the Leader, Mezia, Texas. - "In ' the latter ca6e I used Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy, and I think with considerable suc cess, only being in bed a little over two days against ten days for tbe former at tack. The second attack I am satisfied would have been equally as bad as the first but for the usa of this emedy as 1 had to go to bed in about six hours after being 'struck' with it, while in tbe first case I was able to attend to business about two days before getting 'down.'

The Second Oregon and the First Nebraska "were engaged. Two Americans were wounded. Otis Has Completed Plans. Washington, March 6. There is a reason to expect important news from Manila within the next fortnight. It has developed that General Otis baa practically completed his plans for a grand onslaught on tbe insurgents, which is expected to deprive them of offensive power at least. It is probable that be will forma large part of bis force into columns as soon as his reinforcements arrive, and Will push these in parallel lines straight through the jungles, clearing out the insurgents in every direction as the troops move forward. The American troops are becoming restless and nervous under the petty but .annoying eharpshooting of the Filipinos, and are so anxious to put a stop to this that General Otis has yielded to their desire.

Bow to Prevent Pneumonia. You are perhaps aware that ' pneu monia always results from a cold or from an attack of - La Grippe. During the epidemic of La Grippe a few years ago when so many cases resulted in pneu monia, it was observed that tbe attack was never followed by that disease when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used. It counteracts any tendency of a cold or La Grippe to result in that dangerous disease. It is the best remedy in tbe world for bad colds and La Grippe. Every bottle warranted.
