Paul F. Mohr is in The Dalles today.
There is always more or less canj-cture
when these famous railroad men are In
our midst, especially during these times
rife with railroad rumors. 'We under
stand Mr. Mohr is on his way to. attend
to his interests in the north side road.
It is said that should the road be a "go,"
there will be some work to be done over
on the section built by Mohr and his
company several years since. During
the time intervening, the Indians, and
some who are not aborigines, have come
to the conclusion that railroad ties make
the beet of fire wood, and therefore in
place of ties, the track in many places
now has for a foundation loose rock,
which hae been substituted for the
original ties.
That was a fine tribute to the Oregon
boys in the Philippines, paid by an
officer returned from service there, as
reported by S. A. Clarke from Washing
ton. The officer is one of discriminating
ability. He epoke in terms of praise
for all the volunteers helping to uphold
the dignity and authority of their
country in the islands across the Pacific.
Someone aektd him his opinion of the
Oregon boys, His reply was the finest
attestation words could give: "Ah!
There is a regiment of gentlemen!"
And they, are a regiment of fighters,
too.- They are men who esteem it a
matter of "extreme good fortune," as
one of them writes, to bechoeen to go to
the front, into the thickest of the fight,
onto the firing line.
Horace . Knight, who for tbe past
twenty years has been a resident of The
Dal lea, passed away this morning at
8 o'clock at the Coventon place three
miles from the city. For years he hae
been a sufferer, but not until a few
weeks ago would he give up, at which
time he was taken to tbe country where
he might be cared for. His niece, Mrs.
Johnson, of John Day,- and nephew,
Henry Knight, of Providence, R. I.,
were wfth him when he" died. 'He was
born in Rhode Island 69 yean ago,
and when a young man went to Cali
fornia: during the mining excitement,
afterward coming to Oregon and mining
near' Canyon City, where he became
quite wealthy. "Mr. Knight was a bach
elor, and his only relatives here- are his
nephew and niece. He was . a quiet
man, and one whom those with whom
he associated grew much attached to.
His nephew will leave for Providence,
Rhode Island, tomorrow, taking his
uncle's remains there for burial.
The Dalles City breasted" the waves
proudly this morning as she left the
dock having on board such an intelli
gent -array of good looking echool
marms, chaperoned by Sopt. Gilbert,
diesBed in his best suit of clothes, and
looking as wise as though he were in
wardly bumming to himself the air of
" A Charge to -Keep I Have.V By the
way, the Hood River Glacier has the
superintendent down for "Music," and
if that is actually what the teachers had
in anticipation, it would seem that they
would also be singing "Oh that I had
the wings of a dove, that I might fly
away and be at rest." . However, they
all looked happy, eo we judge the Glacier
meant Mr. Gilbert's name as a signa
ture instead ot bis being a participant
in the singing. Then his wife was with
him, and she .. surely would not "have
eone . bad that been the case. Beside
Prof. Gavin and wife and ProfT Landers,
the following teachers were on board :
Misses Sajina Phirman, Elsie M.'Ball,
Ella Cooper, Nan Cooper, Minnie Mi
chell, Etta E. Wrenn. Emma 8. Roberts,
Mary Donthit, Mrs. Baldwin, Mrs. K.
Roche. They were also accompanied
by Mesdames E. M. . Wilson, W. 8.

Mr. and Mrs. Truman Butler.
A TOKEN OF APPRECIATION.
Adams Presented With Goltl
Iiraded Cane by the Public
School Teachers. :
Mr. S. B. Adams has abandoned his
horse and biiirgy and now. walks the
streets in preference, to riding, although
eopehQw jje ferja , that he 'needs. aorcc
assistance and therefore carries a cane -part
-of the- time, however, under hie
arm. He struck a Klondike laet night,
most of the ore being dieovered in
the handle of a handsome ebony cane,
one of the most beautiful we have yet
seen. '.
Early laet evening as he and hie wife
were quietly ceated in their home, they
were surprised by a visit from the entire
delegation of . teachers of the public
schools, who had previously (fathered at
Prof. Gavin's for the purpoee of calling
upon him in a body. Mr. Adams wis not
long in finding out that good boys in
school are -sometimes "caned" as well
as bad boys, for as oon as be had
welcomed them to his home, Miss Nan
Cooper stepped forward and in a very
appropriate speech told of the appre
ciation which the teachers of Tbe Dalles
schools have had for the services which
Mr. Adams b?s rendered in hie long
term of nine years ae director here; 0
how they have always found him to be
a etauncb friend of the teachers, uphold
ing them ae best be could and lighten
ing their burdens in every possible man
ner. She then in behalf of the professors
and teachers presented him with a gold
headed cane, on the handle of which
was engraven "8. B. "Adams, Director
Public School. The Dalles, 18M) 1899."
Although almost . overcome with the
joy which be felt at finding his services
eo highly appreciated, he received tbe
gift with a nice little epeecb, saying in
part that this was only a proof of bis
firm belief that duties well done to our
God or to bumankind, no matter bow
bumble our station, will some time be
rewarded.
. A short time was spent in happy con
versation, when the visitors departed,
leaving Mr. Adams more than pleased
and gratified that he had been remem
bered so kindly. .
But not alone do the teachers of The
Dalles appreciate Mr. Adams' work in
behalf of our schools, but every citizen
wc u'd gladly add their token of grati
tude for his faithfulnees, and sincerely
hope that he may live. to see the small
est pupils in the echools grow to be men
and women as thoroughly alive for the
great interests of education as he has
proven himself to be. '
"REBEL TOM."
Some Incidents Concerning- His Life,
Now Ended. -
Everyone who has lived in The Dalles
any length of time knows old "Rebel
Tom," who since the earlv '60s has been
a familiar character here, a land mark,
spending moet of bis time about the
livery stables of our city, until laet fall.
when, becoming too ill to take care of
himself, be was taken to the county poor
farm, where Mr. Cushing has made him
his epcial care, until last night when be
passed away. No one knew him by the
same of William Thompson, although
such he was christened ; but in early
days it was : the custom to nickname
everyone who was "one of the boys,"
and so William became Tom. Why he
was c tiled Rebel Tom is not known, un
less be being such a rabid Democrat, was
termed a rebel, as in those days many of
that party sympathized with the South;
He, however, fought in the Mexican war.
and when he left tbe army held tbe posi
tion of quarter-master.
He was about 79 years of see. little be
ing known as to hie early life. Comii g
to I he Dalles from California in 1864, he
was hostler for Wheeler & May hew. who
owned the etage line between this place
and Canyon City. He afterward worked
for Boomer on the Overland, making his
headquarters a.t Umatilla. Liter be en
gaged in the livery bueineesand for eome
time did a dray ing-business here. Of
late years he has been 'unable to work.
and subsisted mostly on a pension, be
ing always thrown among friends who
looked after his welfare.
. "Tom'' was a queer character, and
though gruff in bis manner, at. heart he
was kind, and 'his affectionate nature;
was always shown in his -kindness -to
dumb animals, especially his horses. An
incident which happened perhaps in the
year '66, goes far toward showing his
determination. In thosedays the polit
ical parties in this country-, were s very
equally divided, and unftfc these days
of vprtghtnet, were corrupt to the core.
At this particular .time .Lock wood was
in tbe field for state senator on tbe Re
publican side,, with Vic Trtvitt a close
rival on the opposition. Rivalry waxed
warm and votes came. as high as $100 t
that is if a. man were given $100 be
might vote , the right way. Long and
faithful did they labor with Tom in tbe
endeavor to win a vote ior Lock wood,
but in vain. He wae then working for
R. B. Hood t and a scheme wae concocted
to get iid of Me rcte-at Itast. All at
once it was discovered that a large sum
of money must be sent to Canyon City
on election day, and none so trustworthy
to carry it as Tom. who in the anticipa
tion thought himself a few knots above
the presidency. At the midnight hour
Tom was perched on the atacm st
I With thll trooa... 1 1 1
. aUIJf ...uux uuuer ma leet,
and resting on it a large shot gun for
defenee.
Election day passed, and Tom en
countered no place where be could vote;
but he guarded the treasure until be
reached his destination and opened the
box to eee that his charge was eafe.
What was bis chagrin to find a box
half full of rocks, and the wrong kind
too. Returning home and not knowing
who to blame, many of his friends re
ceived the cold shoulder for months
after," And the Democrats lost a vote,
as they have now lost a voter.
All that remains of Rebel Tom will
be laid to rest in the city cemetery
this afternoon at 4 o'clock.
