Eugene Guard: Whenever a wholesale
boose receives a letter from a merchant
written on a scrap of paper without any
thing tc indicate what sort of business he is
engaged in, or the sheet is ornamented with
one of those hideous daubs called rubber
stamps, his name is immediately checked
with an "S," which indicates Backer. This
mark seryes as a notice to the traveling

subject on which to palm off , all the old.

you possibly can. The poor merchant then
wonders why his customers never come
La Grande Gazette: There is an organ
ized gang of sure thing gamblers working
the trains between La Grande and Port

pecting travelers whenever the opportu
nity offers. Some of the trainmen know
who a part of the gang are, and keep a
close watch on them, but even the con
ductors are not always able to protect the
silly dupes who bite with the ayidity of a
sucker at a sure thing only to find" that
they have been robbed. The railroad offi

a meritorious service to the public if they
succeed in breaking up the operations of
the gang.

man the Susanville Advocate says: "Jar.
Van Norden is a very estimable citizen who
has made manv friends here that regret his
determination to make his home elsewhere.
However, his leaving is not because he loves
Lassen less, but then his daughter, who re
cently became Mrs. Thos. Wood, resides at

for him to be with his favorite child. We
wish Mr. Van Norden prosperity in his new

past. Mr. O. D. Taylor and Mr. Curtis re
fused bim platform room, stating that the
sole privilege of buying wheat had been
granted to Mr; George Smith. Mr. Moody,
therefore, has built a platform on the un
used portion of tbe county road west of the
ferry landing. Some parties, presumably
other buyers, under cover of daikuess, built
fence directly across the county road last
ight for the purpose of shutting out the
Moody platform. This, however, was not
allowed to stand long after day light. It is
piobable that the paying of Dalles prices.

fsyorable acquaintance among Klickitat
farmers will bring a good deal of wheat
ere which has been going to Columbus, ow
ing to low prices offered by other buyers at
Rockland. Mr. Moody says be proposes to
uy the remainder of the season and to pay
the highest market price each dav, or if
preferred he will contract for the entire

East Oregonian: A number of citizens
have informally organized themselves in
to a sort of "reform league" which has
for its object the improvement ot tbe
city's morals by tbe suppression of ga mil
ling and other' vices if possible. They
began a granTl campaign Tuesday after
noon by causing several arrests on the
charge of gambling. J. Preston, Henry
Sparks, Charles Heed, J. Sohn and L. La
rowe were brought before the recorder
and fined $10 each. Warrants are out lor
George Darveau, :lohn Damain, Ben. Tay
lor and J. Brown. The former, who is
charged with allowing gambling in bis
saloon, is absent at Portland, and the
others are not in town. Wholesale arrests
are apt to be made. Members of the re
form league say they intend to keep cn
causing arrests as long as the law is vio
lated, and that gamblers, or men who allow-
gambling in their houses, may as
well understand this first as last. Com
plaints were made in this instance by S.
T. Hinkle, Frank Lee, N. H. Tennery,
Leyi Hays, Clarence Hays, T. E. James
and Peter Smith. It is said over one
hundred ci izens aie-iicsing '.he move
ment. The Sew Engine at Work.
The new engine for the portage road did
its initiatory work yesterday. It is a little
beauty and capable ot doing all the work
that can be piled up by the steamers at
either end. Some slight accidents occurred
during the runniug of it yesterday. For
instance the engineer did not reverse in
time aod pushed one of the flat cars off the
end of the track into some timbers, and
another time in making a switch the cars
went over all right, but tbe engine ran off
on the ground and bad to be assisted back
on to the track by the government engine.
But some few accidents of this kind are
only to be expected at first and as soon as
the parts wear down into working trim,
everything will go as merrily as a mar
riage bell. . ,
The Requlator is doing a vast amount of
business, and now that difficulties at the
portage road are practically ended,' the in
vestment will prove a first-class one and
consumers will reap a lasting benefit.'

A Gold Excitement.
Baker City Democrat.
A letter from Mr. William Miller, connty
judge of Harney county, addressed to Mr.
John, Wheeler of tbis city, states that the
richest gold diggings have been struck in
the northern pirt of Harney ' county that
have been found for years. He says the peo
ple are excited and not without reason.
The gold found is nearly as coarse as peas;
a dollar to the pan- being the lowest pros
pect yet reported. Tbe location of the dig
gings is on Trout creek as the road leaves
Sil vies y alley, coming from Canyon City,
and are about twelve miles north of Harney
City. Who knows but what this find is the
long lost Blue Bucket?
Working the Soys Too Hard.
It is reported that a strike occurred by
the crew of the Rtgulator yesterday at the
Locks. After the boat was unloaded the
crew refused to run the steamer back to
The Dalles unless some satisfactory arrange
ment was made regarding hours. After
waiting for some time a new force was se
cured, who arrived here wiiu the boat late
last night. .- Sixteen and eighteen hours'
labor is too much for workmen in any avo
cation, and if tbe boat is doing so much
business as to require so much extra time,
two crews should be employed. It is un
reasonable to suppose that men wrll work'
extra hours for' any great length of time,
and nnjust to hire others when they make
complaint. --

SUICIDE.
A Man Tired of Existence Blows Bis
Brains Out.
This afternoon, about 2 o'clock, a lady in
one of our hotels was alarmed by blood
dripping from the ceiling, and she informed
the clerk. Coroner Michell was notibed of
the fact and Dr. Hollister was called. They
ascertained the cause to have proceeded
from the room on the npper story, and that
a man was lving on the floor, with a bullet
hole in tho center of Ins forehead, from
which had oozed blood and brains, and
short distance apart was a Smith & Wesson,
double-action, 45-cahbre revolver. Onin
quiry, our reporter found that the unfortu
nate man had been in the city since Satur
day night, having come from Antelope,
where he had followed the vocation of
sheepherder and farm laborer, and his name
was R, T. Lacy. He claimed to have come
from Louisiana, and to have been on the
eoast only a few years. Some persons
claimed that he had been sober during yes
terday; others that he drank heavily, and
in a house of ill repute proposed to kill one
of the inmates and then himself. Last
night, in a row over a gambling game, a
pistol was taken from him which had six
cartridges, but the pistol found to-day bad
only three shells, the remainder having
been exploded or removed. The young
man was about 25 years of age, and, so far
as known, had no relatives on tbis coast.
On his person was found the following let
ter, which we produce verbatim:
Thb Dalles, Or., Oct. 16, 1891.
To wliotn it will interest: '
The saying that no one commits suicide
unless temporarily insane, 1 think, can be
refuted in my case. The problem of exist
ence is too much for me, or I imagine it is,
which amounts to the same thing. Whisky
has been my master for years, and the long
er I live the more absolute its control is. . I
have not the will power to resist it, so I am
going lo take this means of putting an end
to a life that I have lost all interest in. I
hope if there is a just and merciful God,
as my Christian triends tells me, that he
will not inquire too closely into a misspent
life. My relations I do not want to hear of
my untimely death, so I will not say any
thing about them. And now, friends,
goodby, think kindly of me if you can
R. T. Lacy
The Dalles, Ore.
Our reporter left the room about 3 o'clock,
and the unfortunate man was still alive,
although unconscious. The center of the
forehead was blown away, and this took a
portion of the brain matter.' Dr. Hollister
pronounced the wonnd necessarily fatal,
and that the man would live but a short
time.
Family Troubles.
When family troubles are paraded before
the public the mountain of woe is generally
reduced to a mole-hill under the cold
blooded scrutiny of an nninterested public,
and the sanguinary encounter which oc
curred last Monday in front of the Umatilla
House between J. O. Warren and W. T.
Wright shows that the former individual
committed an indiscretion, at least. The
facts, as near as can be learned, are as fol
lows: Mr. Warner's 19-year-old son had
taken the farm on contract from his father
for one year, he to get half the profits. -The
boy did very well and cleared something
over a thousand dollars. Tbe son wanted
the father to stand half the expenses of a
header, which Warner, Sr., would not do,
and tbe mother sided with the boy. A fam
ily quarrel ensued, ending in Mrs. Warner
removing to a neighbor's, in the morning
Mr. Wright, a respectable but unsophisti
cated woodsman, came down from the tim
ber and was petitioned by Mrs. Wright for
ride to tbe city. The request was granted
and the two happened to dine together at

Judge Boise decides that the railroad
companies cannot remove their cases to
Judge Deady's court.
The points relied on by District Attorney
Bingham, Attorney General Chamberlain,
and Commissioner Colvig in their arguments
in opposing removal of the cases to the fed
eral courts were briefly as follows: That
there was no diversity of citizenship, that
no federal question, or question involving a
law of congress or the constitution ot the
United States was necessary to a decision
of the cases. In case of the S. P. Co. it
was argued that it was a domestic corpora
tion. The fact that the U. P. Co. was op
erating branch lines did not deprive the
state of its control of that corporation
within the state. The railroads submit to
this jurisdiction nnder protest, but will
bave to go ahead and fight it out. After
taking it to the state supreme court the
railroads will ask a writ of review to the
United States supreme court. If it is there
sustained the state has woo.
Duck Hunters Memalonse Island.
Jt P. Morse, Frank Klein and .W. S
Elliott returned yesterday from a hunting
trip down the river. They ..bagged a
large number of ducks at different points
this side of Memalonse island. While
absent they visited the island 'and found
that gome marauders had been there re
cently and pulled down one pf the old
sheds and pillaged the graves of trinkets.
Memalouse Island is replete with inter
est for the curiosity-seeker. There are
thousands of skeletons' on the island of
Indians who bave died during the past
several centuries. The sheds are built 'of
hewn boards and show evidence of great
age. The deceased Indian is wrapped in
a kind of grass woven into a mat and
buried without iurther covering, with
what personal effects he possessed in life.
There are -numberless old trunks in this
ancient graveyard, which lends an air of
novelty to the p re-historic collections of
beads, arrows, implements and trinkets.

An editor of a newspaper in one of the

A Fatal Acoident,
Baker Democrat.
A terribln accident ocourred at Cornu
copia, Union county, last Monday, which
resulted in the death of a miner' by the
name of Prank Chambers, the. particulars
of which as near as the Democrat could
learn are as follows;
The "unfortunate man wax -engaged iq
hauling pre from the . TJnion gold quartz
mine, which is located about three-quarters
of a mile noon the mountain above and
west of the town of Cornucopia.
He was driving a four-horse team with a
heavy load of ore on the wagon. The road
is very steep and as it approaches tbe Davis
quartz mill a short jpitch occurs. As he
was descending this precipitous grade the
rough lock and brake gave away and the
vehicle with its contents went suddenly on
to the horses, frightening them, and they
became unmanageable. They began run
ning at rapid speed down the strep incline.
which is about two hundred feet long, at
fearful velocity, Mr. Chambers keeping his
seat onttop of the wagon. As tbe outfit
reached the bottom of the mountain the
horses were thrown to the gronnd and with
them the wagon, ore and Mr. Chambers
were thrown iu one mass. Vhe& found
Chambers' body was terribly mangled and
crushed and he lived only a few minutes.
The deceased was unmarried and as far as
Known had no relatives in this section.
Walter Lindsey Eeturns.
East Oregonian.
Last July two young men, Walter Lind
sey and Qus Mil key, left Pendleton with
two horses and a saddle borrowed from
Denton's livery stable, and did not return
The horses were sold at La Grande and
te young men traveled eastward. Both
were then supposed to be equally guilty
of horse-stealing, and warrants were
sworn out for their arrest.
Lindsey returned to Pendleton on Sun
day night's train from the east, and was
soon after placed under Arrest lie came
back, he says, in response to letters from
relatives here, to "straighten up tbe busi
ness" and clear himself of the charge
against him.
Gus went alone, Walter states, to tbe
liyery stable and borrowed ihe horses
which they rode to Alba, remaining there
oyernight. Milkey's ostensible purpose
was to gather up horses in the John Day
ountrv, and Mndsey went with him to
assist. Instead Milkey went to La
Grande and was accompanied by Lindsey,
who did not know this was bis destina
tion until they had nearly reached tbe
town. Here MilKey sold the horses, re
ceived the money, separated himself from
bis companion and left the town, Lind3ey
having nothing to do with the transac
tion. Lindsey th-n went east on the train, re-
ninnrf fnr O ftma in Ulnnfano ond wont
mained for a time in Montana, and went
from there to bis borne in Jackson,
Minn., where he had since been stopping.
Thomas Smith's mare, which Lindsey
had in care, he took charge Of at Alba
and left at La Grande, where it was re-
covered. It was not stolen as reported.
Lindsey was arraigned before J ustice
Bishop and put under $150 bonds to ap
pear Saturday for examination.
A Orisis.
He felt that he was abused there is no
mistake about that but the recorder is
no respecter of persons, and you could
have heard a pin drop as it struck the
floor with a cold, metallic clang, if there
had been one dropped, but it didn't; only
the short crisp words of the recorder as
they fell from the judicial lips $10 and
costs. He had been out with the boys
the night before, but they had all gone to
their home on the Klickitat and left the
old man in. town. Though far from the
sere, the yellow leaf, his long whiskers
were tinging with gray, and bis eyes
beamed with a native good humor that
mollified the gathering wrinkles on a
still handsome face. He sized it up this
way: "You see we were all out last night
visiting saloons and other places and I
got separated from the boys and the po
liceman run the old man in. Now they
have all gone home, anddon't know but
what I have gone too. Why, them boys
of mine would spend their last cent be
fore they'd see me this way. -I put my
watch up for for bail, for I'm broke this
morning. Do you know anybody who
would loan me $10 till Saturday? No?
Well, you come around after a while any
way. My trial will come off pretty soon,
and I want your moral supriort."
The trial came off, as before stated, and
the old man must have been successful in
his quest for money, for he was seen to
trudge down lo the ferry boat later in the
day. v
Tho Kalr In Germany.
Beelin, Oct. 15. Tbe frequency with
which some of the minor papers through
out Geimany refer in spiteful and dis
paraging terms to tbe Chicago fair, gives
rise to a suspicion that there is a concer
ted movement of a blackmailing charac
ter among tbe less repntable portion of
tbe press, such as was shown conclusively
to exist in tbe case of the French exhi
bition. Among the stones set afloat by
the detractors is that the committee in
charge ot the fair is financially embar
rassed, and tb3 success of tbe fair is
thereby rendered doubtful. - It is even
reported in these variousjournals that tbe
committee will dissolve, and that tbe fair
may be abandoned altogether. One
paper contaius long articles intended to
show that congress will not vote tbe
money needed to make the exposition an
assured success, and others . contain
equally lugubrious editorials, injuring
tbe scheme in every conceivable wanner.
All these attacks bave an efiectgupon the
readers of tbe sheets, and it is apparent
that vigorous steps will be required to
offset such canards and place tbe-situation
before tbe German public in its cor
rect aspect if the managers expect to
draw a full representation from tbis
country.
Chicago World's Fair.
Chicago, Oct. 15 Major Handy, chief
of the department of publicity and pro
motion of the world's fair, talking to-day
concerning the statement that tbe direc
tory is endeavoring to have bis bnrean
abolished, said he has learned it is tbe
opinion of several, directors, including
gome of the men who were most eager to
scatter the fair news broadcast, that the
newspapers are finding out too much and
want tbe fair run with closed doors. He
further said :
"I am not here to suppress things, and
as tbe fair is to be run on the'Star Cham-,
ber plan. I am out of my place."
According to President Palmer, of tbe
national commission, tne Doara or con
trol will take no action looking- toward
tbe abolishment of Haody's department.
Tbe board of control took no action in
the $5,000,000 loan matter to day. Tbe
rNew York office and tbe Lit in American
bureau, under the control of Curtis, are
beiag considered, and the necessity for
the 1100,000 expenditure of tbe Curtis
bureau is to be inquired into. Regard
ing tbe New York office, the' suggestion
has been made that it manager, Colonel
Anderson, be transferred to Washington
and Mr. Elwell, bis assistant, put in
charge at New York. Anderson is a
Democrat and Elwell a Republican, and
tbe political side of tbe matter is evok
ing comment.
