Valparaiso, Cmli, dispatch says: Sant -ago
has been formally surrendered. The
triumph of the congressional patty is
comulete aud pece and quiet may be
looked for in Cuili before many days

which Balmareda'a forces met with, it
whs on y a question of lime when the
uqueiing army would take poeseseion
t tne cap tal Tbe lusurgent leaders in
tended to make it a question ot a very
hurt time, for active preparations were
tieing made to send a force summent to
vercome all possible opposition atSaotl

transportation or troops couiu ne made
In the mean' line, however, word was re
ceived from tbe Balmacedaists aking

the Timet. Tbe meeting recently ap
pointed a financial committee, of which
lerpont Morgan is te bead Another
will be beld to day or to-morrow in tbis
city. Tne probable outcome of the meet-
ug may oe of greater Mgnificance than
merely putting into effect the scheme for
carrtiou the noattng debt. Rumors tbat
the Vanderbiits are to take control of tbe
property are received with serious con
deration id Wall street, where P erpont
Morgan s close relations with the Van
derbil'B is doiy appreciated. It le well
known that when tbe G ord- Dillon con
tingent first approached Morgan with a
r quest lor aid m straightening out the
finances of the (Juiod Pacific Company
tbey met with a chilling reception.
When finally Morgan consented to take
charge of the sen. me for temporarily

debt it transpired thai be exacted con
cessions which practically put him in
control of tbe property.

The atwvemee t obnoxious.
Berlin, August 31. The liquor deal
ers of the capital are combining in oppo
ut ion to tbe proposed law restricting tbe
sale of liquor, and especially tbe clause
requiring them te go into the restaurant
tiusmess, wnicD is already overdone in
Berlin, as the Germans here refuse to eat
at borne. Tbe clauses as to age and sell
ing to drunkards are also considered ob
noxious, on tbe ground thai tbe dealer
cannot readily tell tbe age of a customer,
cr whether be is a drunkard. Tbe whole
measure is considered in the line of tee
totalism, and as imposing restrictions
obnoxious to tbe German ideas or per
sonal liberty. The advocates cf tbe bill
claim that drunkenness is increasing in
Berlin ; tbat increasing instances of id
toxicants have been observed, and tbat
some res'rtctive action is necessary to
abate and restrain the evil.
Daring Bank Thieves.
Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 31. At Nor

robbery took place to dav. Tbe bank is
a branch of the Higginsville bank, and
the regular employes are only tbe cashier
and bookkeeper, The bookkeeper was
out on business this afternoon, when two
men rode up to tbe bank, dismounted,
walked into tbe bank and shut the door
and locked it before tbe casbier knew
hat was going on. Then, at the point
of a revolver, one man kept the cashier
quiet, while tbe other took about $ 700,
all the cash in sight. Tbe robbers then
mounted their horses and fled.

A Modern Daniel in the Midst of Lions
Loose.
. Daniel Boone, tbe bon tamer and trainer,
performs with half a dozen ferocious lions,
all let loose in a circus ring. He has edu
cated the ferocious monsters so tbat re is
able to harness them to chano'U, and drive
them around the arena, and he feeds them
from bis hapd, makes the brutes form lofty
Dvramida. dance, leap, play sen-saw, and
even ride tricycles. It is said to be the
most wonderful exhibition of animal train
ing the world baa thus far seen. If Boone
bad lived in tbe Bahylonian era, when tbat
wicked old king, Nebuchadnezer, was in bis
glorv. he woold bave surprised the Baby
lonian monarch more than did tbe Godly
DanieL whom be caused to be cast into a
den of lions. DanieL the pions Jew, and
Daniel, the modern lion tamer, will live in
history until the eod of time. Tbe modern
Daniel and his lions can be seen in tbe
Forepaugh Snow, which is to exhibit here
on September lotn.
Beni. Jagej, from Utah, was arrested
this attcmoon for cruelty to animals by
tbe city marshal. One animal was driven
to a two wheeled cart, and the other two
led, and tbey were simply skeletons, and
would bave been excellent specimens in
any anatomical museum. Mr. jagen
claimed 'o be a native American ; but it
would bave been much more to bis credit
if be claimed some other country. Pros
ecuting Attorney Wilson very properly
represented tbe stale, for in this age of
civilization it is time tbat even Amert
can's should learn to be kind even to
dumb animals.
Salem Statetman: Before Henry Jackson,
the . educated Indian from the K amath
agency, left for bis borne in the lava bed
country the other dav, he having been at
Salem attending the conference, a reporter
of the Statesman interviewed him on several
matters relating to tbe Indians and the
agency. Mr. Jackson is a Pitt River In
dian and most be nearly forty years of age.
He remembers having been brought to tbe
Klamath country when quite small. He
said then remained at this time less than
900 Indians, including women and children
on the agency and nearly all of these are
Klamath. They are a very tew ritt Hirers.
Of men of tbe Modocs, less than eighteen
remain to tell the story of the once power

braves. When asked if it were true that
tbe Indians were dying off rapidly, - Mr.
Jackson replied that it was only too 4me.
He said their numbers were gradually
growing smaller as tbe years tolled on.

days at the residence of bis son at &I osier.
Nearly every day this week the thermom
eter ranged in the nineties, and our peopla
are earnestly desiring a cooler atmosphere.
To-day was a busy time at Moody's ware
house, and 70 sacks of wheat were pur
chased, and for which a good price was
paid.
We bad a talk with several of our farm
ers this morning, and they report where
ground has been summer-fallowed the yield
has been good; but where the ground has
been planted eyery year the crop is not en
couraging.
Deputy U. S. Marshal A, G. Johnson

jury or be discharged.
Moro Obterver: They raised an abund
ance of good hay in tbe Kent neighborhood
tbis year. Une farmer bad Z tons to the
acre and Mr. Comstock had about 2 tons.
This industry pays well around Kent, for
there is a large demand for hay among tbe
Antelope sheep men who purchase a large
share of their feed from the Kent farmers.
The infant son of Hon. E O. and Mrs.
C. McCoy died at Grant about 1 A. M. to
day of cholera infantum. Only five months
oldj the little boy had entwined himself
around the parents' hearts, and the loss is
severely felt. Mr. and Mrs. McCoy are
well known in Tbe Dalles and will receive
the heartfelt sympathy of the community
in their bereavement.
Sprague Advertiser: "It seems a little
straupe, but it is a fact that two-thirds of
the eggs used in Sprague are shipped from
the east, there not being enough in tbe
country to supply the city. Here is a
chance for some enterprising granger to get
rich by raising chickens. There ia more
clear money in one good hen than there is
in a bushel of wheat " Yes, but the bushel
of wheat will bave to be raised to feed to
the hen all the Fame.

The Oreoonian says: K. S. Perkins came
back from Clatsop, where be bas been
searching for the budy of Todd Bingham,
the lawyer. He was accompanied by Dr.
John Bingham, of Walla Walla, brother of
tbe deceased, who left last night for home.
Joseph Knott and his sister still remain at
the scene of the tragedy. Mr. Perkins says
' they bave been patroling the beach up aud
down for two or three miles near the fatal
rocks, bnt without finding any trace of the
body. He is confident tbat Mr. Bingham
was instantly killed by being burled against
the rocks before be sank.
Mr. Chas. E. Hoight, the proprietor of
the city restaurant, had a rare experience
at one of his tables during the noon hour.
A young lady and gentleman occupied one
of tbe tables, and after eating for a white
came to tbe counter and the gentleman de
posited fifty cents, but asked if they could
not come back and finish the meal. Mr.
Haight, always good-natured, said in his
most polite manner, "Certainly." At this
the young lady proceeded to the table and
took all the dishes and deposited them on a
table in the kitchen, saying she would not
give the waiters the trouble to reset the
table, but when tbey came back tbey would
simply place their dishes on an empty ta
ble and finish eatiog.
We frequently hear of acts of vandalism
committed by some of onr boys, and the
last that has come to our notice is breaking
down fruit trees surrounding unoccupied
residences. One day this week a neighbor
was passing a house on the corner of Lib
erty and Ninth streets, and saw three or
four boys pulling down tbe limbs of some
very nice fruit trees. He hallooed to them
and gave chase; but, by cutting through a
hole in tbe fence, tbey managed to escape.
In their hurry one of the boys left a dinner
pail behind, and the gentleman took tbis
and handed it to Mr. C. Howe, our night
policeman, and the boy can bave this by.
applying to him. If they are known tbey
will surely be prosecuted for tbe offense, as
an example should be made of some one to
step further acts of tbe kind.
Mr. Isaae Perry and Mr. Cbas. Mc Far-
land camped a few days oa Wind river
last week, and say the creeks are almost
entirely denuded of fisti, since Mr. A. Hu-
guenin, tbe artistic angler, threw bis book
in those streams. It is not generally known
that Aleck caught more trout and killed
more game than any man who baa visited
VY ind river for the past ten years. Speak
ing oi Mr. Huguenine it is not generally
credited that President Hertenstein, of
the republic of Switzerland, who took
the executive chair on Jan. 1. 1888.
and holds his office for fonr years, bad re
signed in favor of Mr. uugaeoin, and that
tbe Standerath and Nationalratb has sent a
commission to request bis return to his na
tive country. During tbe festivities of the
celebration ot the 600th year of Swiss in
dependenceit is not probable that President
Hertenstein would resign his position. -
No one in the large audience which as
sembled last eyening to enjoy the final one
of the series of entertainments in connec
tion witb the institute failed to note the
omission of a number of names in the reso
lution of thanks. Miss Jennie Long, of
Portland, for tbe superb rendition of tbe
numbers obosen, deserves a higher tribute
of praise tban tbe imperfect pencil of the
reporter can furnish. Especially fine was
her rendering of Tennyson s "Sisters," in
response to the encore so spontaneously
awarded her. Miss Annie Lang, by her
deft touch and thorough knowledge of tech
nique, was ot great service to Portland's
matchless singer, Mrs. wetzeiL and shewed
conclusively that she possesses that rarest of
faculties, the ability to completely enter
into, and subtly to interpret tbe spirit of
the composer. Both Professors VVetxell
and Acker-man have labored bard and suc
cessfully to make the session of the insti
tute pleasant and profitable. These and
others sre certainly deserving of all honor.
We are unwilling to believe tbe current
rumor tnat, in at least one instance, tbe
omission wis intentions!. What matter If
a few paltry dollars are paid. Tbe roan or
woman who does good work in sncb a ease
this is entitled to all honor, and we
know we voice the sentiments of this com
munity when we say that those mentioned
and all tbe others who helped by essay,
song, speech or story to enlighten and in
struct are entitled to no small meed of
praise or stinted thanks. .

Celestial neighbors are not sufficiently

Tbe Northern Pacific railway company
has sdvanced a claim at Washington for all
tbe odd numbered sections of land in the
ceded portion of the Ccear d'Aleno Indian
reservation which fall within the limits of
its grant. The government paid the In
dians $500,000 for these lands and $150,000
as a quit claim for all rights the Indians
claimed in the lands in Washington state.
Of these latter the railroad got eyery odd
numbered section. It is not probable that
the claim will be considered, as the terms
of all grants say tbat lands of the reserva
tions are excepted from tbe terms of the
grant.

Wasoo Oountj Teachers' Institute.
From Friday's Dally.
Last night was a fitting close to the en
tertainments of the week by tbe teachers.
Tbe church was crowded to its fullest ca
pacity and many stood outside at the en
trances, unable to gain admittance. W
The first number on the programme, a
vocal quartette "Merrily, Merrily Bounds
the Barque" was exceptionally well ren
dered by tne GTee Club. Soft as the swell
ing sea came the tones from this eboir of
singers, and as the last soonds died away
the applause began to swell higher and
higher, until tbe full audience caught tbe
enthusiasm, and every one seemed deter
mined to bave it repeated. Prof. Aaron
Frazier, one of the most popular teachers of
Wasco county, read a most excellent paper
on "Two Great Lessons,' and this was lis
tened to with marked attention - This gen
tleman is a thinker, and gives expression to
no idea that bas not been most carefully
considered. His position on the subject
was supported by nine-tenths of those pres
ent. The sad, solemn cadence of the
'Burial at Sea," as sung by Messrs. H.
Ernst and Will S. Graham, was very im
pressive, and one could slmost imagine the
actual scene being acted before him. Prof.
Smith has made a study of the ''Sanitary
Conditions of our Schoolroom," and his
essay on this subject all that could be
sired. As usual the mandolin snd guitar
olub called forth anooore, and Miss Row
land and Mr. Mason responded in a beautiful .
selection. This musio is always appreci- ,
a ted, and the sweet tones seem to charm
and entertain at the same time. The clos
ing address was delivered by Mr. Troy J
Shelley, who dwelt upon the benefits de
rived by the present session of tha institute
and hoped tbat tbe future conventions
might be equally as successful. "Farewell
to the Mountains" was a thrilling song, and
