A TRAIN RUNAWAY.
La Grnde, June 27. A narrow escape
from what might have been a serious
accident occurred on the Union Pacific
the on Union hill this afternoon. The
west bound fast mail being a little behind
time was trying to make it up, and the
air brakes failing to work properly the
train not from under the control ot the
engine, and the speed was soon increased
lo about sixty miles an hour. When go
ids at the highest speed the cars were
swaying and it was expected at etery
moment all would go into the ditch. O
goipg imo a snowslied the corner of the
Colonists' chair car struck the shed, and
it is believed tbut alone prevented the
ditching of the whole train. During tb
few miles of the runaway the scene in the
car was quite similar w mat on ooara a

PROBABLY DROWNED.
Albany, Or., Jane 27. Roscoe Goss,
tending the electric light station in this
city; and two small boys' went out boat
riding this afttrrfooat, intending to stay
bat a little while. Not returning in time
for supper, the people became auxioas
and a searching party started oat on th
nver, where it was supposed they were
lost in the woods gathering blackberries.
The river was searched further than it
was, expected they had gone. About
10 :30 one of the scarcbing parties found
pieces ot the boat below the dam, and
shortly after more was found. The party
went to the dam as far as safety would
permit, but could not discover anything
but tbe remaining portion of the boat
standing up amoDg the rocks. As vet
none of the bodies have been fonnd

DEMOCRATIC PROTEST.
Washington, June 27.- The Northern
Democratic members of the bouse have
prepared a formal protest against tbe
national election bill, which is termed "an
extraordinary, dangerous and revolution
ary measure now proposed by the leaders
of the party in power." The protect
says.
If the power claimed by the majority
resides in tbe constitution, which we deny,
the republic has gone through difficulties
of the formative period and made a heroic
struggle against dissolution, and
triumphed and successfully readjusted
itself to tbe changed conditions without
the exercise of such a power by the
federal government for one hundred years
and over. . The bill is purely a partisan
measure, intended primarily to control
the election to congress and tbe presiden
tial election in' all the states and to in
timidate, bound and obstruct and harass
by political prosecutions in unfriendly
bands, the adverse majorities in tbe cities
of tbe North. To carry on this scheme of
imperial government mil.ions of dollars
will be taxed from our people and the
judiciary ot tbe United States, prrtitnted
to tne basest partisanship in the manage
ment of elections, and these invasions of
tbe liberties of our people will be left for
safety to partisan juries in federal courts.
composed entirely of men of the party in
power.
Tbe protest appeals to American free
men without regard to party, to enter a
timely protest by the way of public meet
ings or otherwise, against this consolida
tion of government and destruction of
popular rights, and tbe very foundation of
American liberty, as this vicious and un
patriotic measure is a most serious menace
t9 tbe very life of the republic. ' Tbe
issue is: "Shall a political party elect
itself and keep in power by paid agents
wtio are io control political elections in
all the states."
SHIP-BUILDING YARDS. '
New York, Jane 27. A company of
British capitalists has been formed to ac
quire from representatives or the late
John Roach Ship-building - Yards and
Engineering Company (limited). Tbe
preliminary prospectus sets forth tbat the
shares of tbe capital will be 600. In
addition to tbe shares of capital debenture,
a capital of 300,000 is provided for.
The board ot management in tbe United
states will consist or John B. lioacb,
president of the Chester Works; George
E. Weed, president of tbe Morgan Iron
Works; Henry Steers, president of tbe
Eleventh Ward bank, and William Row
land, of the New York City National
Bank ot Scotland, are named as the bank
ers of tbe new incorporation.
CARPENTER DOYLE CAPTURED.
Newburgh, N. Y., June 20. Rounds
man Hannon, of the Newburgh police,
and Detective Day, of Portland, Or., to
night arrested at bis home in this city,
Edward M. Doyle, who is wanted in
Oregon for grard larceny; Doyle is a
carpentef and had contracted to construct
a building for tbe St. Mary's church con
gregation at Beaverton. He secured a
bogus order on tbe Diebop lor an advance
payment, and after defrauding others to
the amount of several thousand dollars
came to bis home in. this city, where be
has a wife and two children. It is said be
recently married another woman in
Oregon. Doyle has been here several
weeks. His mail was addressed to
Edwurc L. Monroe. To-night Doyle Bays
the only thing on Which he can be held is
tbe fact that be did not use all tbe money
be received on the bouse for which it was
drawn.
A MYSTERIOUS HOMICIDE.
Spokane Falls, June 29. A very
mysterious homicide occurred in the out
skirts of this city at 10 o'clock to-night.
At that hour Peter M. Johnson, a Dane,
2b years of age, accompanined by Joba
Robinson and George Peterson, fellow
countrymen, were wending their way to
their cabin on tbe outskirts of tbe city.
Johnson's companions, who were walking
one on each side of him were suddenly
startled by hearing a shot fired. At tbe
same instant Johnson fell with a bullet
bole in tbe forehead. Death was instan -taueons.
Two men were seen to run off in
tbe darkness at tbe time the shot was
fired, bat could not be found later. As
Johnson is a stranger in the city tbe sup
position is tbat the shot was fired by some
one nnder tbe influence of liquoi, and
that it bit Johnson by accident. At mid
night tbe police bad made no arrests.
BRUTAL TREATMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE.
New York, June 29. A special from
Raleigh, N. C, to the Herald says:
William Hill and a party ot negro "ex
od asters," who left New Hanover county
for Arkansas, have just returned. They
make affidavit as to their treatment there,
and their story is a horrible one. There
were 600 in tbeir party, and all had been
promised good wages. They were virtu
ally sold to a labor contractor, who, when
be was notified by negroes that they
wonld not work for SO cents a day, said
that was all be wonld give, ne seised
their personal effects. Some families
were put in horse stables and others in
old outbuildings, wbile some had to re
main on tbe banks of the river. All were
guarded like criminals and revolvers were
drawn on them to force them to terms.
They were within twelve miles of Louis
iana, aud were unable to get on a steamer
without a pass. They got away and wen
to another point, where tbey were haulted
by men who were armed and mounte
and who demanded where tbey were
going and by whose authority. The last
sale of these people was made in Louis
iana by a man named Williams, who sold
000 of them for $5000.
MRS. MAYBRIOK MAY BE FREE.
London, June 29 As many privilege!
as possible are granted to Mrs. Maybnck
now in prison at Woking. Her mother,
the Baioneas Von Rograer, was allowed
to remain with her for a long time at her
visit to- day. Tbe mother bad just come
from tbe home secretary, who is at last
convinced that Mrs. Maybrick's sentence
may be reviewed. The motber and
daughter had an affecting meeting, and
the latter felt satisfied tbat she would yet
be a neo woman.
It has leaked out tbat tbe baroness
who has been working assiduously in her
daughter s behalf ever since her arrest, is
in possession of evidence which corrobo
rates Mrs. Mavbrick's statement which
she made to the jury.
Ibe baroness refuses to reveal where
she secured this evidence, but says the
home secretary is so interested be has
promised, if sent to his office, to give it
Close anc careiui consideration.
YOUNG GIRL DRAGGED BY A HOUSE.
Medford, Or., June 29. Ray Young,
aged 15, and Minnie Johnson, about IS,
while riding in a cart last evening met
with a serious accident. Tbe horse be
came frightened and ran, throwing Miss
Young in such away that her foot caught
on the frame work in front of the cart und
ber body was thrown backward so tbat
ber head and shoulders dragged on the
ground. The horse ran for about 100
yards and was stopped by Mr. Brown,
and Miss xoung was rescued from her
perilous position, after receiving some in-
unes about tbe head and shoulders. She
will probably recover.
SUICIDE AT SEATTLE.
Seattle, June 29. Allen G. Ewing
committed suicide here yesterday by tak
ing a large dose of strychnine. Ewing
was found dead this afternoon in a cabin
on tbe water front, in bed with bis
clothes partially on. Near the bed on a
table were two ounce bottles of strych
nine, and a tin cup in which the poison
was dissolved. Inside tl'c cup were
white particles which physicians an
lyzed' and pronounced strychnine. On
tbe bed by bis side was found a cocked
revolver with all the chambers full, as
though Jawing intended shooting himself
the poison failed to take his life.
Ewing was a harbor pilot, and has a
brother and sister here. He came from
Dundee, Scotland, to Seattle eighteen
years ago, was 48 years old and u married.
The Bational Use of Medicine.
Popular Sc'ence News.
Nothing indicates more clearly the
modern progress ot medicine than tbe
disappearance of tbe bulky and disagree
able bolnses, powders, draughts and
mixtures which tbe physicians of former
times administered to their patients, in
many cases with but little effect except
to potman additional burden upon an
already wearied and overloaded stomach.
The homeopathic physicians have at least
shown tbat excessive medication is un
necessary, and tbat no medication at all
will result in an equal nnmber of cures in
great majority of cases, while tbe
present tendency of all schools of medicine
to limit their prescriptions, both in
nnmber and quantity, and place more re
liance upon hygienic and sanitary pre
cautions, combined with watchful and
experienced nursing and care. Tbe
philosophy of prescribing what are popu
larly known as "medicines" is really a
very simple matter. It is a well-known
fact tbat certain substances, when uken
into the system, preduce certain physio
logical effects. Thus, opium and its
alkaloids produce sleep, ipecac causes
vomiting, quinine is found to have a
remarkable power of controlling inter
mittent fevers, and so on through the list.
There is really no difference between a
medicine and a poison, except in the
violence of its action ; and, in fact some
of the most powerful poisons are found to
be valuable medicinal agents when ad
ministered in minute doses. Tbescientific
physician, therefore, will not attempt to
"cure" a disease by any specific remedy,
but will endeavor to fully understand the
cause and nature of tbe abnormal physio
logical action which is taking place in tbe
system of his patient. As tbe action ot
medicines is very variable in different
persons, and under different conditions of
tbe disease, tbe necessity of skillful
medical attendance, and the fully cf de
pending upon the various widely-advertised
patent medicines is evident.
The Historical Bowery.
The Bowery is a mine of biatory. No
other street tells eo much of tbe story of
the republic and its metropolis, says a
writer ia Frank Leslie's. A trail of tbe
warlike- Wickquaskeeks when yet tbe
primeval forest overshadowed the island
of Manhattan and an Indian village occu
pied the future sight of Chatham square;
a bi ldal path to the homestead of the last
and greatest of the Dutch governors,
stout Petras Stayvesant, whose Bowery
gave its name to tbe roadway which bis
English successors widened and improv
ed; a country post road through which
rattled the stages to Boston and Albany,
and down which tbe Quaker merchant
Murray lumbered in bis "leathern con
veuiency" from the heights of Inklen berg,
now Murray Hill, and tbe wife ot Fred
erick Phillipse, the Yonkers Patroon,
drove her four black ponies at break-neck
speed. A broad avenue tbat echoed
proudly to tbe American battalions tbat
marched in with Washington on tbat
November day which saw the last British
soldier embarking at the battery; a street
bordered with stately poplars and liaed
with pretty rural homes in tbe early years
of tbis century; a street in its transition
state, famous fur its firemen and its fights,
for its theaters and its belles, for its
patriotism and its pugilism, for its
American types ot character and its de
velopment of foreign methods, the bowery
is now a great historic thoroughfare which
all nations of tbe earth' have combined to'
make tbe most cosmopolitan of all streets
In tbe new world. '
From first to last it bad the strange
distinction of never having seen a church
erected upon its building line, and yet it
has always been typical of city life, and
tbe story of New York would be shorn of
much of its glory if no mention were
made ot tbe mile of street which stretches
between Chatham square and Cooper
Union.
Is This th Proper Thing?
The Dalles, Jane 28, 1S90. .
Editor Tihes-Mouktaiskkk: ,
There is a feeling among the parents of
oar scholars .that these literary entertain
ments at tbe close of our district schools
are a detriment to the students, as it
takes their minds from off their regular
studies according to the interest they take
in the preparation. 8uch things are - good
in their proper place, but should not en
croach upon tbe regular work of the school.
Oar hope is in the rising generation, and
we wish for it the beat advantages our laws
afford. A Will Wisher. .
SHERMAN COUNTY.
Items From the Columns
Wasco Observer.
of the
The best beaded wheat we have seen
this season was brought in last week by
Mr. J. B. Florer. It is well filled and is
good for 35 or 40 busbels to the acieat
tbe lowest average.
Some fellow, whose borne should be in
the pen, stole a 230-lb. sack of coal from
Jack Dingle's blacksmith shop one day
last week. That coal won't- make half
as good a fire as the one that awaits-the
thief in the next world.
A correspondent from Erskineyille this
week writes that wheat in Uat vicinity
and Grass valley will average 20 bushels
to tbe acre. Mr. Rtifus Moore has a
field that will yield over SO bushels.
Rye hay is turning out two and three
tons to the acre.
The following figures concerning Sher
man county have been furnished us by
.be Wasco board of trade: Number of
acres in the county, 311,000; acreage
under cultivation, 40,000; tillable land
not under cultivation, 213,000; total
pasture land not under cultivation, 271,-
000; average yield per acre wheat, 20
bu.; barley, 30 bu.; oats, 40 bin The
population of Sherman county is about
2000.
In a letter received last week from Mr.
J. H. Fraser, who is sojourning at Glen -
wood, Wash., the following items occur:
Light showers of rain around Mt. Adams.
Sheep in tbe mountains in prime condi
tion. Messrs. Kerr & Buckley's sheeD
were held np on the public highway yes
terday by armed settlers who refused to
let them pass through to tbeir mountain
range. Sheepmen bad to pay the migra
tory sheep tax in the new state, greatly
aginst their will.
The farmers ot Sherman county are in
high glee over the prospects for good
crops. Tbeir hopes will undoubtedly be
realized nnless, which is very unlikely,
the blighted east winds come along and
bnrn out the 'grain with theii baleful
breath. Reports from differt pa its of tbe
county are most favorable. . We hear
that George VintOD, east of Grass Valley,
has an 80-acre tract of Little Club tbat
promises to return a big crop. Owen
Thompson, in tbe Hay Canyon neighbor
hood, has 40 acres of barley from which
big returns are expected. Rufos Moore,
of Erskineville, has a piece of wheat
about 100 acres which it would be bard
for any county to heat. Cap Moore, of
Erskineville, has 75 acres of wheat tbat
will yield a fine crop. Abiel Erskine has
20 acres of rye that will go 8 tons to the
acre, and about 100 acres of fine looking
wheat, and Geo. Benadom has about 50
acres tbat will do well, ram or no rain
Tbere are many others whose grain looks
just as well as tbat which we have men
tioned.
The Newspaper Faff.
Bill Nye.
The newspaper puff is something that
makes men feel bad if they don't get it.
The groundwork of an ordinary news
paper puff consists of a moral character
and a good bank account. Writing
newspaper puffs is like mixing sherry

a puff and don't get it. Then be says the

would stop subscribing if he did not have

paper puff is like taking a photograph of
a homely baby. If tbe photograph does
not represent the child with wings, halos

not understand his business. So it is
with tbe newspaper puff if tbe puffed

that the puffer doesn't understand human

'Women Doctors.
Sir William Gall, tbe eminent English
physician who died recently, when asked
bus opinion on women doctor's, expressed
himself as follows : "Personally" be said,
3tiliug, "I should only be too pleased to
be called in consultation with one ot my
fair confrertt, but each has not often been
my fate." Thee, more serionsly, he add
ed: "I think one onght always to help
women atody medicine ia every possible
way. I have the greatest respect for the
ladies now practicing in London, and feel
sure that tbey must fill far more satisfac
torily, than the average medical man
could pretend to do, certain posts. A
young child at first wonld always rather
be attended and operated upon by a
woman than by a man, though they get
wonderfully soon accustomed to 'the
doctor'."
Death of an Indian Medicine Man.
GoMendale Sentinel.
; From Coroner S. H. Miller we learn that
be received notice on Monday that there
had been fonnd on Bock creek, in this
county, the dead body of a Mr. Highner, an
Indian citizen - of the United States, and
there was evidence of foul play. At 12
, o'clock with T. B. Stapleton, he started for
the scene, arriving there at about 4 P. M,
By this time the following men had joined
the party: C. A. Claussen, Robt. Watson,
C. H. Wedgewood and C. D. Wilcox.
jury was immediatly summoned and quail
fled. The two daughters of Highner sworn
and examined. They stated the time he
left the house. Then two Bttp-sons were
called, who knew nothing, or did not tell
what they knew. Mr. Big Indian was then
sworn, and told where lie found the dead
man. Nothing elicited as to the cause of
the death of the Indian. There were about
fifty Indians men and women on the
ground. 1'bere was one old surly fellow
who said this was the "Indian's business.'
The fact is this Highner was a medicine
man, and according to aboriginal custom
when they get tired ot their "doctor" they
stone him to death. There was another
medicine man living lower down the creek,
and the Indians say he has also disappeared.
The coroner says "I think the man who
killed Mr. Highner was present at the in
quest, but they would not divulge any
thing. They wanted to know what I would
do if I knew who killed him."

Oreqon State Weather Bureau in ce-ipera
tion witli U. 8. Siynal Service, central office,
Portland, Oregon. For uteeh ending June
SS, 1890:
The cool, cloudy and showery weather of
the present week continued np to to-day; it
is now clear and very warm. Tbe weather
tbat has prevailed has been worth nntold
wealth to the producers of Oregon, and
from every section comes tbe most flatter
ing and encouraging reports.
The rains were especially copiocs in tbo
Willamette Valley and along the coast
where from one to three inches fell; in
Southern Oregon over one inch fell at Rose
burg, bat decreased southward to Jackson
county, where less than one-balf inch fell.
In Eastern Oregon more than the average
Jane rain-fall bas falleD, varying from one
to two inches. - The rains were most oppor
tune and have given new life to all growing
vegetation.
Fall and early sown wheat are now
thought to be past any harm from atmos
pheric causes. It is filling well and of good
quality; stools large and stand very good
The crop will be from present appearances
more than an average one. From Umatilla
come reports that it will be the largest
crop ever harvested in the county. Late
sown spring wheat is coming up, and fair
yields of good hay crops will be obtained
from it
From every section of the Willamette
valley reports are encouraging, showing an
enthusiastic feeling among the farmers.
Some clover hay was down when the rains
began and was slightly damaged. Timothy
hay has been greatly improved. Oats are
doing well. Corn ia thriving, bat in sec
tions of Eastern Oregon the weather is too
cool. Hops are growing finely and give
promise of a good yield.
In Gilliam and Morrow counties rye
harvest is in progress and yields very goad.
Codlin, moths have not done any damage
yet. Spraying is, however, recommended
as a preventative. Peaches and apples will
be a short crop in Southern Oregon; other
fruits very plentiful. The potato yield
promises to be the largest in the history OP
tbe state. Every section reports them do
ing finely. Through tbe stock county grass
on tbe range ia good and cattle are ia prime
condition.
' Tbe rain extended through Crook, Grant
and other interior counties insuring the bay
and grain crop.
Tbo week closes with the most flattering
outlook for Oregon crops.

Center ville Leader: Etta Shearer, the lit.
tie daughter of Mr. Jeff Shearer who Uvea
southeast of the citv met with a Dainful ac
cident last week. Mr. Shearer was sawing '
a piece from a board, when tbe little girl
put out her hand to catch the block, but
unfortunately reaohed too far and placed
her hand nnder the saw, with the result of
having the middle finger of tbe left hand
sawed entirely off at tbe first joint, and the
next finger badly cut. Dr. Eshelman, who
happened to be in the city, was sent for and
the wonnd dressed. Although she lost Dart
of a finger she is getting along nicely, and
tuey are tnanatai that it is no worse. -
An Indian Tragedy.
Several Indians came in the city to-day,
with letters to oar executive officers from
Agent Lackey of the Warm Springs Indian
reservation, informing them that a tragedy
had been committed on Rock creek in Gd
liam county in the killing of a medicine
man by the name of Heigh-Koengh. The
Indians who committed the deed are Tal
lap-sone, -Sshim-in-sheit, Wils and Skim-
yokh. The Indians went to Sheriff Catea,
and informed him tbat the throat of the
medicine man was cut from ear to ear; but
afterwards, In conversation with Col. Lang,
a girl who claimed to be the granddaughter
of the murdered Indian, said he was choked
to death; because the Indians thought he
had whisky and wanted some. From
Agent Lackey's letter it is very evident
that murder has been committed; bat from
the contradictory testimony of the. Indians,
it is yery difficult to ascertain the manner
of its commission. It would be the proper
thing for the authorities to investigate the
matter, and punish the culprits if found.
We are satisfied the murder was the same
as the one reported in the Goldendale &
tinel, published elsewhere.
The Steam Lanndry.
In company with Mr. L. Lawlor, of the
firm of Lawlor Bros. & Coote, we paid a .
visit to tbe steam laundry Wednesday even
ing. We found the establishment complete
in all the improved machinery nsed in large
laundries, and the gentlemanly managers
possessing a practical knowledge of their
operation. In tbe lower story are the re
ceiving room where goods are carefully
marked before being handed to the opera,
fives the washing room, with several in
tricate machines for the cleansing, starch
ing and ironing of clothes, and drying
room. In tbe upper story are the finiahing
room where clothes are properly ironed
and prepared for delivery. re are sorry
this institution ia not more generally pat- '
ronized, as in every way it is more worthy
of support than Chinese wash booses, and
employs wholly white labor and is an in
dustry which tends to the development of
our resources.
