He reports cattle in good condition ; but tbe fall of ram bad been very light this fall. Mrs. A. M. Crossen and daughter, wfco have been visiting friends in Portland for several days past, returned Monday even ing on tbe Regulator. Mr. M. T. Nolan, at the Postoffice Book Stored has Harper' for November on Bale. This is a most excellent number, and should be en tbe table of those desirous of keeping posted on current literature. The plat of Central Hood River Water Ditch Company was filed in tbe clerk's office to day. This ditch is to be dug from tbe head of Ditch creek a distance ot eight miles down Hood River valley. There are nimrods in Southern Oregon. Read this from the Roseburg Review: "Arthur Woodm, of tbe Mountain House, killed five deer and three bears in a balf day's bunt last week. Not a bad record that. The neat residence of Mr. Frank Egan in tbe burnt district is nearing comple tion. It is one of the prettiest cottages now being erected, and the plans were drafted by oar well-known contractor, Mr. L. P. Ostiund. The attempts to induce the Yakima In dians to enlist in the army have been lutile. Said one old buck: - "Twenty years ago they were forcing us to lay down our arms lor the plow, and now they are urging us to lay down tbe plow for tbe gun." Albany Herald: Mr. Geo. Hochstedle had tbe misfortune Monday while oper ating a bnzz planer at tbe Sugar Pine Door & 'Lumber Company's factory, to have his left band caught in the kniveg, lacerating tne middle finger, so that it required amputation. A warrant was issued this morning for Jeff Sallivan, who, it is claimed, robbed his room urate -of $25 last night in the Columbia Hotel: Tbe sheriff searched tbe city for him, and ascertained that be left on tbe boat this morning for Port land. The city jail had three occupants last night, and these were safely housed until this morning, when they were inter viewed by the recorder. Ot course they were not furnished with satin coverlets and spring mattresses ; but tbe way of the transgressor is hard, and no sympathy should be exhausted on bim. The product of a ten-acro apple orchard in the Bogne river valley, near Grant's Pass, was sold last week to tbe Ear Fruit Company, of San Francisco, for 14,60. The price paid was 65 cents per box, the buyer did the packing, picking and fur nished boxes. The apples were of the rea winter variety ana were packed for tne Australian ana japan markets. OreOTiian, Monday : A dispatch receii last mgnt irom iewiston, Idaho, an nounces tbe death of Alonzo Leland, who came to Oregon in 1850 with A. Bush,and in 1854 began the publication of the Standard at Porland. He was afterward editor ot the Oregon Advertiser and the Portland Tenet. He was also a member of the first school board of this city. Articles of incorporation were filed to day of The Columbia Biyer Fruit Com pany of Grand Dalles, Wash., and The Dalles, Ore., capital stock $1,000,000, divided into 25uO shares ot $400 each; incorporators, A. E. Dunham, A. T. Hig by and O. D. Taylor. Also of the East ern Oregon Fruit Growers' Association ; capital stock, $356,000, divided into 640 shares; incorporators, D. M. French, C. N. Thornbury, T. A. Hudson and W.J. G. Hudson. . . Albany Democeat: According to bulle tins posted along tbe line of the Oregon Pacific Wednesday, C. C. Hogue, paymas ter for Receiver Hogg, will pay the em ployes of the road for wages due for jnarcn, apixi ana may. mis will put considerable ' money in circulation and will give the men a big lift In view of its coming six weeks before the time ex pected the proceeding is being appreci ated by the employes. This leaves four or five months due. A party of men arrived In this city to day from California, having driven a band ot horses from Grant county during tbe past season. They started from uayyaiejuiy ist, ana in six weeks ar rived in .acramenio. wnere tnev were forced to sell at a very low price. One of the men, with whom our reporter had an interview, said some yery fine horses in tbe band be drove sold for only $15, while be knew one lot of horses to be sold for $10 a bead. We learn frem tbe Eugene ' Guard that tbe mines on tbe McEenzie river are pros pecting well, and that Dr. Oglesby re cently returned from Bohemia with some specimens of quartz from a new discov ery which assayed over $1100 per ton. He is highly elated oyer the discovery and will return as soon as the weather per mits to make further developments. Tbe doctor formerly liyed near Fossil, in Gil liam county, and is a thorough mining expert. There was taken to the insane asylum at Salem Thursday eyening Mrs. R. G. Patton, from Sunnyside. Her husband is ' also crazy, and was taken there with her. He has been trying to work the mind cure on her, and as a result the reason ot both bas been dethroned. Tbe state asylum, which alrealy consumes balf of the revenue of tbe state, is daily increasing its number of patients, there being to-day over 720, more than at any previous time. The bealtbfulness of ocean breezes bas long been acknowledged ; but tbe follow ing from the Astorian is the first instance we bave read of general ability causing death It may be accounted for on ac count of the extreme age of tbe person, and if be had been younger be might bave died of general debility: "Thomas Thompson, an old, old man, who for many years bas worked around O'Brien's hotel, died of general ability last Sunday afternoon. He was a native of Sweden and in tbe 81st year of bis age. Tbe funeral took place yesterday." Here is a warning to ' strong-armed young men and also to slender ribbed girls. Miss Lnlu Smith, an Indiana fanner's daughter, was taken ill with what was supposed to be pneumonia. A physician was sent for, and, on examina tion, found that she had sustained a fracture of the seventh r'.b. Then she admitted that she felt something crack on Sauday evening when lier lover gaye her a parting bug. She bad endured great pain for two days, and next time will wear some sort of a rib protector. W. H. DeHaas, of Tacoma, who guided tbe Frank Leslie party daring the recent explorations in Alaska, confirms the re ports of other Alrskan explorers that there is good placer mining, but he also says: f'The diggings do not pay when tbe ex pense of living and of working is consid ered, and the fact that work is possible on only sixty days ' out of the year. In tbe best diggings tbe result is only ten ounces a day to each man. Most of the miners up there are barely making wages. A man earns every grain of gold that be gets in Alaska." Deflaas speaks highly . of the natives on the Yukon delta, among whom ne uvea lor eleven . months "When I first went among' the flush waks," He saia, "l was too ill to cut my own wood, or even to stand on my feet. They did my work for me, kept my bar- rabora in order, ana oiten iurnisnea me with meat or fowl when they were stint ing themselves or their children to do so." Statesman: A man darned Lightle, work in? on Osborne's tarm on ury creek, about six miles north of Walla Walla, met with a very painful accident Tues day morning. It sowars that ne was en gaged in cutting wood with a two-edged axe ancf the same becoming imbedded in the wood so deep he could not pull it out; He then placed his right foot on the log for the purpose or extracting tne axe, when bis foot sliDDed ana ne was tnrown on the axe, the blade penetrating the calf or his right leg, cutting a gasn one ana a nau mcnes aeep ana iour inoues juug. .: Baker Blade: A gentleman from the in terior arrived in the city the other day and registered at tbe Warsbauer, after which he proceeded to take in the- sights of the city. Imbibing somewhat freely in "tanglefoot" tbe aforesaid gentleman repaired to his room at the Warsbauer in the evening with not altogether "a' clear bead and hjs mental faculties running somewhat at random. Disrobing he pro ceeded to extinguish the electric light be fore getting in bed by blowing it out, but it wouldn't blow worm a cent, i ne gen tleman remarked to a friend the follow ing morning, that "those lig-ta in the Warshauer were the d dest things he ever seen." Innocence is bliss. The Dayton Chronicle has this to say in reference to the alleged discovery ot mines on the Tukanon: "It is barely pos sible, but not probable, that a body of ore may be found in the Owsley claim, but it lacks a great deal yet from developing anything that is of value to either Mr. Owsley or the country at large. There is a streak of a mixture of limestone and other kind of rock running across the cut in which the workmen are digging,which contains a small quantity of tale, and if there was any mineral present it would indicate that supply of ore was inex haustible. But alas, in this case, accord ing to the decision of the prospectors, tbe ledge and tbe mineral, in a paying qual ity, are conspicuous by their absence." Affairs in the neighboring state of Washington are not being managed yery satisfactory to tbe public, as tbe follow ing from the columns of the W. W. Statesman will show: "The fearful and wonderful way in which tbe state has been governed is held to' necessitate an extra session of. tbe legislature at an early day. The statement is made that $50,000 is due to citizen; and cannot be paid because of technical objections, There is tbe university muddle, tbe mi litia muddle, the agricultural college muddle, the geological survey muddle, tbe granted . lands muddle and various other muddles all arising from incompe tence, carelessness or scheming. . So tbe brethren think they want another session and additional appropriations. Colfax Gazelle: Fruit growers of the Palouse are on nettles. Some apricots were received from California a few days ago and they were fairly alive with what is known as the apricot scale, under which were myriads of insects. These scales are not easily seen with the naked eye, but a magnifying glass makes them as prominent as a bird's-eye view ot tbe Rocky mountains. The cause of the alarm is the belief that the insects may invest the native iruit, and in order to guard against such danger Mr. J. B. Holt telegraphed Wednesday to Fruit Inspector Jesse at Walla Walla, requesting him -to take immediate action towards preventing tbe insects from ruining Washington fruit. A very sad and distressing accident oc curred at Moscow, Idaho, on Wednesday, of last week. Mr. 1j. P. Schuh and bis men had started over in the southeast part of tbe city to move a bouse. His two little boys went along with him, and were on the wagon, which was loaded, when Wilbur, the youngest, aged 4 years, fell from the wagon, the large wheel pa3S ing directly across bis body, breaking the spine and crushing him so badly that- be only lived about twenty minutes. Tbe little fellow gave one shriek, and imme diately became unconscious until the heart ceased to beat. Surgical aid was at once called, but was of no avail. The sad occurrence has cast a gloom over the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Schuh, the latter being frantic with grief. Albina Courier: William McDonald was committed to the county jail because be could not furnish bonds in tbe sum of $400 for his appearance before tbe grand jury. Saturday night while intoxicated he met a woman in front of the Conti nental hotel, to whom be used - insulting language. Robert Gourley happened along at .this time and told McDonald to allow the woman to proceed, whereupon McDonald turned and struck him a bard blow on the nose, knocking him down. He then kicked tbe prostrate man in tbe ribs and walked off. Gourley was picked up by Mr. Floriu, proprietor of the Con tinental hotel, and taken to a room. Dr Holuomb was called. Several frightful wounds were found on his face. ' His nose was broken and four ribs were fractured. McDonald was arraigned and held to appear before the grand jury. He could find no one to go his bonds. From Thursday's Dally. Mr. Geo. N. Peterson, of Biggs, is in the city to-day. The contract for the Methodist church has not been let yet. Mr. A. McLsod, of Eingsley, and Mr. B. Sigman, of Dufur, are in the city. Circuit court convenes in this city on the 9th of next month with a full docket. Judge Bradsbaw returned yesterday from helding a term of court in Crook county. The rain during the past few days has placed the roads to the interior in yery good condition. ' Union street is still in a very dilapidated cootition by reason of placing the new pipe in position. Mr. H. W. Cooke, of Antelope, one of tbe prominent sheep men of that region, is in town to-day. Hon. BiDger Hermann was serenaded in Baker City. He was not thus compli mented in The Dalles. Iowa has 77 convicted criminals to the million inhabitants, Illinois has 220, Wis consin 224, and Missouri 416. Mr. S. McBride, of Dixon, Calif., is in the city. He is visiting friends and rela tives in this portion of the state. Mrs. A. S. Bennett, who bas been visit ing relatives and friends at Dayton, Wash., for several weeks past, returned yesterday. Tbe platforms at Biggs and Bufus sta tions are crowded with wheat from this year's hat y est, and more is being receiyed daily. Mr. Ben. Wilson has fitted up his new saloon in the East End in excellent style, and is now prepared to attend to the wants of customers. Sentinel: Report has reached John Day of the discovery of a large body of tin ore on Spanish Gnlcb. Nothing definite has been learned as yet. The supply of wheat appears almost in exhaustible, and, notwithstanding tbe large quantities received there is yet consider able to be marketed. A musical entertainment will be given to morrow evening in the Baldwin building, west of the Umatilla House, by Tom Cody, the celebrated cowboy pianist. Will S. Graham, of the Opera Eating House, bought a swan yesterday from Joe Crate, who ahot the bird near Crate's point. It weighs 27 pounds and measures 7 feet 2 inches from tip to tip of wing. Tbe Harney Times state that much ex citement prevails in Harney City over the discovery of excellent placer diggings but a few miles from the town. Preparations are being made and active operations will begin at once. Tbe sheriff's office is a very quiet place these days, and, aside from feeding the prisoners in the cage, and serving the pro cess of tbe court on jurors and litigants, nothing happens to disturb the peace and harmony of the place. We have received from tbe Lewis & Dry den Printing Co., of Portland, the Railway Guide for October, 1891. It gives full and complete information regardingthe arrival and departure of trains and boats on the different bnes io the state. From all portions of the county we learn that more acreage will be plowed and planted to grain than ever before. The agricultural outlook for Wasco county is promising, and the exports of grain and fruit in the future will be much larger than heretofore. The new hotel of Mr. Skibbe is now ready for roofing, and if the weather con- tinues clear for a few days this part of tbe building will be completed. Ever since tbe tire Mr. Skibbe and his family have been living in a tent in the shell of tbe building. and will continue until tbe edihee is nn ished. Sidewalks are being laid from Laughlin to Jefferson street on the north side of Sec ond, and when these are completed they will be a great convenience to the traveling public. It may be a great tax on property- owners, but sidewalks should be construct ed in every portion of the burned district at tne earliest possible date. And to-day, before the county clerk Robert Lowe, who is a country man of Burns. Robert Brace, etc., under oath swore that he would no longer consider himself a citizen of Great Britain and a sub ject of her majesty, Queen Victoria, bnt would hereafter nphold the stars and stripes and tbe government of the United Estates. So mote it be. Astoria Tall:: Jack Dempsey, the famous pugilist, came in on tbe Columbia this morning with $38,000 in his inside - pocket which be didn t have when he went down about ten days ago. Xbe dazzling success of genial Jack is enough to make a minister who labors 3a years to make that amount of money feel as though the man who fights the devil hasn t quite as good a thing as the man who fights bis fellow man. recently was given tbe rate ot taxes in several cities, which were evidently incor rect. According to a Seattle paper the city tax there is only 4 mills, and county tax 1U mills, on a valuation of $4b,UU0,UUU tor tbe city, and $71,000,000 for the county. In Portland the city, state and county tax foots up 29 mills. The highest priced lot in Seattle is given as only $1100 per front foot, while in Portland $2000 is about the price. Eugene Guard: Tbe merchants and grain buyers of Eugene were notified to-day that no through shipments of grain to San Fran cisco via Portland conld be made for weeks to come. The Portland warehouses are blocked and the ocean steamships have full loads. A large grain buyer informs us that shipments made to San Francisco yia Ya quina Bay on Sept. 8th have not yet reached their destination. A railroad 4s needed to Siuslaw. It would mean cheaper rates and quicker time. The delays in shipment mean a loss of several cents a bushel to tbe producer. The following residents of Wasco county bave been summoned to serve as jurors dur ing the .November term of the circuit court for Wasco county, convening November 9, 1891: O. T. Angell, farmer, William Floyd, farmer, Michael Doyle, farmer, H. Her bring, merchant, W. E. Garretson, jeweler, G. J. Farley, merchant, J. W. French, banker, August Bnchler, brewer, The Dalles; E. L. Boynton. farmer, B. M. Bal lard, farmer, Frank Graves, farmer. Kings ley; H. W. Gilpin, farmer, Ben Pratt, farmer, Joseph Turner, farmer, Boyd; James Brown, farmer, Mosier; E. L. Craft, farmer, Nansene; D. A. Turner, farmer, Wm. Bu'shirk. farmer, Hood Biyer; Lemuel Burgess, farmer, R. R. Hinton, farmer, Bake Oyen; Henry Hilgen, farmer, Jerry Corcoran, farmer, Dufur; Martin Wing, farmer, Samuel A. Broyles, farmer, Wamic; W. H. Davis, fawner, F. M. Hunter, farm er, Wapinitia; A. B. Russell, farmer, Dan iel Cromley, merchant. Antelope; Kenneth McKenzie, merchant, Cascade Locks; Clay C. Butler, farmer, Tygh Valley. There is a kick on the rates charged on the portage at the Cascade Locks. The Baker City Democrat is urging a reduction, and says: The state of Oregon bas not built the portage at the Cascade Locks with the intention of its becoming a money-making concern, or one that will pay for itself in the course of three or four years. It was constructed as a means of relief to the people of Eastern Oregon from tbe exist ing high transportation rates, and with the completion cf the road and the establish ment of a line of river boats to co-operate therewith the object sought was accom plished. The portage can, and should be economically operated, and if the receipts are sufficient to meet tbe necessary expenses and in addition pay a small rate of interest fund to meet extraordinary expenses, the great purpose of the road will have been realized. Even if tbe road should be oper ated under such tariff regulations as to sim ply protect it against loss, the benefits de rived by tbe people of Eastern Oregon through its existence will be sufficient recompense to tbe state. Tbe portage road should not be considered as a money-making concern and the present schedule of tariff rates should be materially reduced. From Friday's Daily. Common council meets to- morrow night. Tbe steam-saw is doing a rushing busi ness. Pile-driving still continues on the new wharf. Wheat still pours into the city in large quantities. If you have steers to shed prepare to shed them now. Last night there was a light frost on the creek bottoms. New sidewalks in the burnt district are being laid rapidly. Miss Lulu Bird is visiting relatives snd friends in the city. The Regulator was a half-hour late this morning in leaving her wharf. Messrs. Wood tiros., of this city, shipped a carload of cattle west last night. The clerk and sheriff are preparing for tbe approaching term of the circnit court. Several strangers are in the city, looking around for the purpose of permanent loca tion. At tbe Mechanics' restaurantn this city the only Chinaman employed is Pat. How ard, and he is a boss mandarin. Four carloads of cattle went west last night from Saltmarshe's stockyards. They came from tbe neighboring state of Wash ington. Mr. J. E. Hardy,' the painter, is finishing a large sign for The Dalles, Portland and Astoria Navigation Co., to be placed in the Portland office. Messrs. French & Co. had fourteen cars ot fine yearlings on an east-bound freight last night, which came from Clarnie to be unloaded at Arlington, under charge of Mf. Snodgrass. and are destined for the ranch in Gilliam. county. We bave had occasion to interview sev eral persons from tbe couutry, and are pleased to learn the fact that cattle of all kinds are in good condition. Urass is grow ing nicely, and there- is every indication that there will be good fall feed for stock. From Mr. Hans Laage, one of the solid farmers of Hood Biver, we learn that the ground in that vicinity is in good condition for plowing, and a large acreage will be put in grain this fall. Property is chang ing bands quite lively, and tbe town is en joying a healthy growth. We received a call to-day from Mr. C. J. Stuart, general traveling and passenger agent of the Oregon Pacific R. R. Co. He offers very reduced rates from San Fran cisco, via - Portland. With the present transportation facilities on tbe middle river, tbe Oregon Pacific offers very good terms to our producers and shippers. . There is the frame of a new building at Rockland being ereoted, the first one that bas been constructed in that pile of rocks aud sand with the exception of the shoe factory for the past five years. We do not know what it is intended for, perhaps for a dwelling. We do know that if some of tbose who have been induced to invest in this spot of barren ground, could yiew it from this city, with its sand dunes, sterile soil, and lack of water and fuel, they would be very sick of then investments. East Oreqonian; Articles of incorporation bave been tiled for the Lone Rock Irriga tion Company, whose object is to store, dis tribute and use tor irrigation, domestic and other purposes, the waters of tbe Umatilla river, McKay creea. Birch creek, Butter creek, Wild Horse creek, and other streams in Umatilla tributary to the Umalilla river. The incorporators are C. B. Wade, Albert Wuitzweiler and T. G. Hailey, and the cap ital stock is fixed at $250,000, divided into shares of $100 each. The principal office is Pendleton. Last night two inebriated individuals found lodgings in the city jail. They had imbibed too freely of spirits Jermenti, and in consequence was proper subjects for Po liceman Howe to take under his careful surveillance. The city jail is not the most comfortable lodging in the city; but be moaning a cold and cruel fate they appeared before his honor, the recorder, and were adjudged guilty of an od'ense against tbe ordinances in such cases made and provided and fined the usual amount, 'which they did not liquidate, and in consequence their muscles will be exercised in improving the streets of tbe city. The Timks-Mountaineee still leads in all matters in which the people are inter ested. For long years tbe public has ad mired and endorsed its advocacy of every thing that would be conducive to the best interests of tbe county, and place absolute confidence in all matters it favors. It bas no particular "mission," except the best in terests of The Dalles and Waaso county, and is not in the least influenced by land boomers, capitalists or bankers; but is in every instance a friend to the people. For more than thirty years the Moontainkkb has lead sentiment in this community, and will do it for a longer period, irrespective of the mushroom growths of a day, which become inflated bv their own egotism and are only leading in their own vain imagin ations. Mr. F. C. Sexton, of Dufur, has been in towll for the past two days. He is here aellinff hid wheat, and is well satisfied with the nriee he received. The little town of Dufur, he says, is rapidly growing into im portance and shows many signs of substan tial growth. Urops, this year, nave aevu quite bountiful, and there will be a large increase next season in the shipment of grain. oiBOTJIT 00UET DOCKET.

Long Creek's roller process flouring mill is running night and day. It is turning out an excellent grade of flour, and is giving general satisfaction. The Monumental quartz mill will start November 1st. Several hundred tons . of ore taken from the Greenhorn mines are in readiness for the mill. Freight for Canyon City and John Day is now being delivered to tbe teamsters at McEwanville the terminus of the Sumpter valley railroad. The first assay of ore taken from the Black Diamond mine at Camp Leadville showed six ounces of silver and $3.38 of gold. Hendryx ft Foreman have four men at work, with an excellent outlook. Long Creek is to have a brass band. A meeting was held last Saturday evening and officers were elected and steps taken to pur chase instruments. The business fraternity of the town should give the new enterprise every possible encouragement. Tom Hinton and Orzo Williams threshing outfit has come oyer from Morrow county and is at present threshing in Fox valley, They informed ye Eagle reporter last Sun- nay that to date they had threshed over 14,000 bushels. Their new outfit is giving tbe yery best of satisfaction. Vince Kelly and S. K. Collins bad a few words at the Monumental hotel Monday morning. Kelly expecting tO be assaulted tbrew an axe at Collins, which fortunately missed Collins and landed in a well near by. Collins immediately swore out a warrant for Kelly's arrest, and upon examination before 'Squire Everts, was held in the sum of $100 to appear before the next grand jury. Due to the efforts of Miss Minnie Bonham the principal's room in the Long Creek pub lic schools is now decorated with a silk banner emblematic ot this great country of ours. She procured the same by securing twenty subscribers for the Canteen, and pre sented it to the school. Much credit is due Miss Minnie for laboring so earnestly, and she will, be kindly remembered by every patron in the district. , A special to the Eagle from Camp Lead ville on the Middle Fork of the John Day, states that a large body of solid galena has been found in the top shaft sunk on tbe Vultura mine at a depth of forty feet. The galena is of fine quality, and is undoubted ly the finest discovery that has been made in Camp Leadville. Several tons of ore have been taken out and prepared for ship ment. When the news of this strike reached tbe stockholders of the company. the stock at once experienced a boom. DISCOVERED AT LAST. The Famed Blue Bucket nine Said to be Amone tbo Keeent .Discoveries . Harney Times. Tbe mountains are full of men. The ex citement is spreading and wagonloads of eager men are coming into Harney City daily, from distant localities. The wildest rumors are anoat of great banks ot gold dut being found. It is with the greatest care that the news gatherers can separate the true from tbe false reports: The dis coveries are rich enough without any ex aggeration. Gold has been found in paying quantities in three gulches on Trout creek. On tbe Harney City side rich claims have been located on Soldier creek, Battlesnake, Cof feepot and Cow Creek. It is authoratively stated that the long lost Blue Bucket mine has been discovered in what is jknown as the Peter Mortimer canyon northeast of Harney City. It ap pears that an old prospector named White has beed tracing the old emigrant trail through from Snake river, and found the graye of a woman who died a little oyer day's drive from the famous Blue Bucket gold discovery. He has . been about six months on the work and since finding the grave has made diligent search in this way from it. About ten days ago he put a man on the road to California with orders to change horses and make 100 miles a day. White himself packed bis things and start ed a few days later. The rider told at one of his stopping places that his boss had panned out two dunces of gold from ten pans and had sent bim for friends in Cali fornia. The parties receiving this informa tion at once hastened to Harney City and began hunting for the discovery. On Sun day morning there was a rush for the Peter Mortimer canyon. Gold was discovered there and it is thought that this is a rich mine. Notices were written and pasted on stones and men on horseback rode a race for the first claims. Bill Catterson, Ike Miller, Bob Cope land and Scotty Hayes scattered their notices down the canyon and began prospecting. As expected the precious metal was found in large quanties, but at this season there is no water to work the mines. The Bells! Bells! Bella! The following from the pen of Mrs. Ella Higgihson, written for the Whatcom Reveille, and dedicated to tbe common council, is realistic enough to baye a local application: Oh I hate the rasping tingle and the cracked, ete- Of the bells nrjon the cows that nlrhtly roam. While they saunter and they meet from Broadway to Holly street, In the' wild and wooly regions ot my home. Wh en tbe clock has struck the chime that proclaims the midnight time. When the good men are all supposed to be in bed. When the moon sinks toward the deep, and the council goes to sleep, Then I hear a duzen bovines' stately tread. Then the bells go whangle-dingle, with a wild and hideous icungie. And 1 think some thoughts of vengeance by the vard. And a certain man I know, O he tosses to and fro, And he swears at cows ana councils loua ana nara. O dear coundlmen! I pray, read my poetry to-day! Do I live out in the country, or in town! Let your native pride aronse take the cow-bell off . tne cows, Or myself within tbe bay J'U surely drown. If you do not stop this klingle, this ko-langle. lingle-ungle, I shall pray tor vengeance on yon dire and deep; May you suddenly be hurled to another, hotter woria And may Satan Jingle cow bells while you sleep.

Vicksburg, Miss., Oct, 29. By the burning of tbe fine steamer Oliver Bierne at Mil liken 's Bend lauding at an early hour this mornirje-, thirteen lives are known to have been lost, and it is feared more. Tbe boat laid up at tbe landing abont midnight. She bad quite a num ber of cabin passengers, and over 200 "deckics" and a number of men, en route to tbe various levee works. There was a lot of cotton to be landed and loaded Tbe mate bid trouble with the roust abouts and a number of tbem quit work, after which the mate bired white men. This enraged the negroes, who made other threats against the mate and boat, At 3 :30 o'cloek an alarm of fire was sud denly sounded, and before any one was aware the boat was aflame. Tbe blaze originated on the lower deck, from what cause is not known, and, communicating to tbe dry cotton, was soon burning with great fierceness. The crew of tbe boat were aroused, and, with the passengers wno were awake, gave tne alarm to tbose who were asleep. A rush was immedi ately made for tbe forward part of the boat, and many got off in safety, but that avenue of escape and others were cut off, and the unfortunate passengers arid crew were forced to plunge into the water. Tbe crew of the doat displayed commen dable coolness, and every effort was made to rescue tbose who had not reached tbe shore. - Chief Engineer Ed Burd, laun ched the yawl of tbe boat, and be, with other men, succeeded in picking up many of the struggling unfortunates in tbe water. Some, . however, were beyond reach, and were either burned to death, or sank beneath the water to rise no more. Wben tbe alarm was communi cated to the people of Milliken's Bend the bank of the river was soon crowded with tbe villagers, who assisted in the work ot rescue and hospitality, and threw open their homes to the survivors. message from Milliken's Bend gives the following names as those who per ished in the disaster: Two children of Dr. Worrall. of Baton Rouge; Sam Entnckec, son of Valentine Jiintricken, of New Orleans; two cham bermaids, names unknown; a Miss Adams, of Omaha; Mrs. Woolridge of New Orleans; Mrs. Frazer's nurse; five cabin boys and a number of roustabouts. A 4ichost Story. Jacksohvill, 111, Oct. 29. Late last night a watchman and three other em ployes of the Jacksonville & South eastern railway saw one of tbe big locomotives glide out of tbe roundhouse, cross tbe turntable and started down the main line. They ran after it, but it was going so fast they did not dare to try to board it, tbougb they saw there was no one on it. When tbe mam line was reached tbe engine whistled and dis appeared down the track at a terrific peed. Fisgah was wired to clear the track. A north-bound freight was side tracked as tbe headlight ot tbe wild engine came in view. The truant whistled, the bell rang, and the engine stopped directly in front of tbe station. The railroad men watched tbe engine frem the moment it came in view. They saw no one get off, and wben they jumped on board tbe throttle was found closed and steam was op sufficient to run twenty miles farther. The engine ran the twelve miles in ten minutes. Tbe railroad men believe that the ghost of an engineer re cently killed on the road was in the cab. It. was his favorite engine.
