The Berlin Blot.
Berlin, Feb. 26. Tbe distarbance
originated at a meeting ot 3000 or 4000
workmen at Lip's brewery daring tbe
forenoon. Tbe men had gathered there
to receive tbe report of a deputation
which the; had sent to the burgomaster,
Herr Forokenbeck, asking him to see tbe
emperor in behalf of tbe unemployed
workmen of Berlin and to intercede with
his majesty npoa their behalf. The men
wanted Herr Forokenback to ask the
emperor to appoint a fair and unpre
judiced commission to inquire into the
wrongs which the workmen complain of,
and promote immediately tbe legislation
necessary to redress their grievences;
The deputation called upon tbe burgo
master at bis official residence, but they
were halted at tbe door and were asked
their business. The delegates announced
that they came to visit tbe burgomaster
on behalf of thousands of unemployed
people in Berlin, and that they wanted
him to intervene with tbe emperor on
tbeir behalf. Ibis message was com
municated to Herr Forokeuback, but. in
spue of bis well known political sympa
tbies, tbe burgomaster refused to receive
the delegation, sending tbem a message
to the effect tbat tbe workmen had better
return peaceably to their homes, as there
was nothing to be gained by a demonstra
tion similar to' the one he understood
they were contemplating.
Tbe message of the burgomaster was
received by tbe workmen witb regular
bowls of rase and storms of execration.
mingled with yells of "Let's go to tbe
minister of commerce, "Let 8 march in
a body to the reicbstag and demand re
dress," and finally with the shout of "Let's
appear in person to the emperor." This
last suggestion caused such a howl of tbe
assemblage tbat it must have been beard
for miles around. "To tbe castle," '
the cry. "Let's tear down the gates if
necessary ana see the emperor."
WOMEN AND .CHILDREN IN THE MOB.
The quiet Germans seemed to lose
tbeir apitby, and to be fired with the
spirit of '48, when tbeir fathers on tbat
memorable March day paraded before
the same place with the people's dead,
while King Frederick William IV stood
a bare beaded witness of the ghastly re
view. . Not since tbat brief reigu of the
people has Berlin witnessed such a scene
as yesterday. The tboupaiids of unem
ployed gathered in the streets, especial;
of tbe eastern quarter. Men rushed forth
from tbeir houses, followed by wives and
children beseeching them not to risk
tbeir lives. In some instances, however,
women incited and urged their husbands,
and on Wsissenburge strasse a tall
woman was seen, good- looking and of
strong Germaa build, loudly denouncing
tbe authorities and demanding that her
bearers at once proceed to obtain, by
violence, the food they were not per
mitted to earn. As darkness came on the
the mob increased in numbers and grew
more dangeious. The various bands
must have numbered several thousands.
They had no organized leadership, but
ttiey bad virtual possession of tbe east
ern quarters of Berlin, and especially of
Frankfurter JHoapmcker, Keas and Weis-
senourger streets. Tbe whole police
force of Berlin was called out, under
orders to go to any extremity to suppress
the t rising, Tbe working people were
not sanguinary, but they were resolute.
Tbey opposed tbe police stubbornly, and
refused to disperse. They gathered in a
large body on the Frankfurter strasse
wub intention of marching toward the
place near Kaiser sfrasse, where a severe
conflict took place. The police used
tbeir weapons unsparingly, while the
populace were but poorly prepared to
meet the solid attack of the well-armed
tolice force. They battled bravely, how
ever, with sticks and any other weapons
tbat each happened to have.
The Kaiser's Daring.
Berlin, Feb. 26. The full force of
police is on duty, and troops are guard
ing the public buildings. Tbe emperor,
accompanied by a single .aide de camp,
and proceded only by two mounted po
licemen, left tbe palace this afternoon on
horseback, passed at a leisurely ; ace
through the Unter Den Linden, and re
turned to the palace as he bad come. He
was cheered by some of tbe crowd along
tbe route. - A cordon of military and
police were drawn around the castle, pre
venting any person not recognized offi
cially by the authorities from approach
ing within 300 yards. During tbe day a
number of beer-shops were looted by tbe
mob, who carried red flags. The kaiser
returned to tbe Schloss from bis nde
about 4 o'clock. Tbe people generally
cheered him as the had done in the
Thiergarten, and be replied by a smile of
recognition. He was pale, as be is natur
ally always pale, except when in tbe flush
of excessive exercise or indulgence and
those who have studied his countenance,
in the face of the exciting events of yes
terday on tbe subject of ordering out the
garrison.-he replied: "When the soldiers
go, I will lead them." This he
uttered in a tone or decision, which put a
stop to further inquiry and carried tbe
conviction to tbe military tbat tbe army
would be used only as a last retort, and
be would expose bis troops to no danger
that he was not willing to face himself.
No one doubts tbe personal courage of
tbe kaiser any more than that of bis
father find mother. Tbe general opinion
is tbat he would show himself on occa
sion, brave, even to rashness, and would
not hesitate to play, as be once said,
King Richard to the people. His riding
today almost unattended is mentioned as
showing both bis courage and bis faith in
tbe attachment of the people to bis house.
A Crime Brought to Ught.
Seattle, Feb. 25. Tbe evidences of a
horrible murder have been found at
Franklin. As a man and dog were pass
ing along the county road, running east
from the Oregon Improvement saloon,
this morning, tbe dog unearthed a man's
foot sawed off above the ankle. A seaich
revealed a band and arm, tbe arm sawed
off below tbe elbow and tbe band
chopped off above tbe wrist. All tbe
pieces were somewhat decomposed, and
seemed to have been skinned. It is im
possible to determine wbetber they be
longed to a white man or a negro. A
search made for the rest ot the body was
fruitless, but Justice Todd is continuing
work on tbe case. No resident, of tbe
place is missing, and tbe only theory of
tbe identity of the remains is tbat they
belongsd to a peddler who was at Frank
lin tea days ago. He went to Black Dia
mond, three miles distant, and has been
traced a short distance further, but tbe
trace of him there ends.
A Having Haniae Bobbed by Tramps.
Umatilla, Or- Feb. 26. A pitiful
specimen ot humanity was takea to Pen
dleton this evening, a raving maniac, tbe
result of exposure and starvation. A
man about 40 years of age hobbled into
town yesterday, almost naked, his bare
feet bruised and bis eyes glaring. It
was some time before he could talk, but
finally said bis name was Harry Flynn,
and tbat be bad been sheepherding in tbe
John Day country. He started to town,
was robbed of bis money nd clothes by
tramps, and had slept out on the hills
several days without food. Clothing and
shoes were furnished him and food offered
but be could - not eat. About two hours
after he arrived be disappeared suddenly
and a party was sent to search for him.
expecting to find him dead. He was
found at noon, eight miles east of here,
wandering aimlessly about in a demented
condition. He will be examined in Pen
dleton and probably be sent to the Salem
asyium. it is said be is quite wealthy,
Under Control of the Army.
Washington, Feb. 27. The bouse of
representatives, in tbe interest of legit i
mate economy, today inserted in the
Indian bill an amendment doing away
with Inflinn agents and placing the
Indians under tbe control of the army
officers, without any provision being
made to properly make this innovation
It is a question of very donbtfull ex
pediency and may result in serious dif
ficulties. There is no doubt the Indian
service should be reformed, and that as
political machine in the hands of either
party it has worked a great deal of
trouble, bnt whether or not it would be
best to torn tbe Indian agencies over to
the army officers and then still retain the
Indian matters under the control of tbe
secretary of tbe intericr, is one of those
doubtful propositions which needs more
consideration than was given the matter
in tbe bouse today. Representative Wil
son made a pretty good point upon this
amendment by showing tbat Holman, of
Indiana, the distinguished economist of
the present house, went with a commis
sion ot congress through tbe various
agencies of tbe United States with a view
of seeing whether it was not advisable to
consolidate the agencies, and tbns reduce
tbe number of agents, and consequently
reduce tbe expense. He said this com
mission never made any report and sub
mitted only a mass of testimony supposed
to have been taken in a Pullman palace
car. He runner intimated tbat a good
way for congress to begin tbe reduction
of expenses was to fix up matters at tbe
Fuyallup agency, pay tbe Indians for
tbeir lands and allow tbe city of Tacoma
to grow as it naturally would, abolish
tbe agency, make the Indians citizens
and wipe out what was left of tbe gov
ernment tribal control. The suggestions
of those who opposed tbe amendment did
not seem to meet with, much favor
among tbe Democrats, who were willing
to do anything in the interest of econo
my. A Sulklns Sititer.
Washington, Feb. 27. There is some
dissatisfaction in tbe Washington delega
tion in congress with tbe pre?ent ad
ministration. Nothing is said aloud nor
lor publication, but it is evident tbat the
members of tbe delegation, without
pecifying any particular man, are not
very well satisfied witb tbe treatment
which has been accorded Washington by
be administration in most matters. Tbe
appointment of tbe circuit judge prob
ably did more to stir up this feeling than
anything else that has happened lately.
because tbe members of tbe delegation
expected and hoped they would secure
the judgeship, especially as tbe state of
Oregon bad all along been more highly
favorored in appointments than Washing
ton. . It is set forth tbat Oregon bas a
minister to Turkey, a judge in Alaska
and a collector of internal revenues for
the District of Oregon and Washington ;
that Washington has a larger Republican
vote than Oiegon, and when tbeiappoint-
ment of a circuit judge was to be maoe,
in order to even tbe difference up be-
ween tbe states in tbe matter cf patron -
age, tbat tbe circuit judge should have
been given to Washington. A statement
in a New York paper this morning indi
cates tbe senators, with others in tbeir
state, will endeavor to secure the election
of a delegation which will not be -for
Harrison, bnt will be ready to go to any
man who will present claims - with a
possibility of success before the conven
tion and in tbe election. -
The Harrison Opposition.
Washington, Feb. 27. Work is being
done in other states under tbe cover of
Blaine's name, and tbe favorite-son
racket is being worked against President
Harrison, yet it is almost a sure thing
that Harrison will be renominated, al
though the men who are against bis re-
nomination are very positive in their
statements tbat be cannot be elected.
There is an under-current among a large
number of these people, who are against
Harrison, never were, and are not now
much favor of Blaine, that Governor
McKinley, of Ohio; will make tbe most
available presidential candidate, if any
considerable opposition is developed to
President Harrison's renomination. This
talk about McKinley is growing, and it
would not be strange .if he should be
brought out by the Republicans who are
looking for a winning candidate, and
who may not wish to undertake to carry
through tbe president against. a protest
of many leading Republicans.

British Ooods at a Disadvantage.
London, Feb. 26. In the house of
commons today Colonel Howard Vincent,
Sheffield, asked what nations had
made arrangements with tbe United States
for tbe admission of American products
under reciprocity provision of tbe Mc
Kinley law, and whether British products
would be at a disadvantage in such
countries. Tbe Rnght Honorable James
Lowtber, conservative member of parlia
ment for Thanet, who like Colonel Yin -
cent, is an advocate of some form of pro
tection for British prodncts, said tbat
British goods were at a disadvantage
under the American reciprocity treaties
with Brazil and San Domingo, and tbat
president of the United States bad
given notice to otuer countries tbat it
they should not decide to take advantage
tbe reciprocity provision tbe United
States would impose a prohibitory tariff
on certain of tbeir products.
They Dm ell In Harmony.
Eugene, Or., Feb. 27. Tbe Republi
can county central committee, of Lane
bounty, met at the courthouse, Chairman
Abrams presiding. Twenty members ot
the committee were present, there being
thirty in all. Tbe meeting was harmoni
ous in every respect, and it could De
plainly seen tbat tbe eommittee is start
ing in tbe right line to carry on a vigor
ous and successful campaign. Tbe repre

will be one tor eacb nfteen votes cast tor
Bisger Hermann in 1890. This will
make 165 delegates for the convention.
Springer's Wool Bill.
Washington, Feb. 28. The reports of
the majority and minority of tbe house
committee on ways and means, to accom
pany the Springer wool bill, have been
prepared and will be presented to tbe
bouse tomonow. Tbe majority report
was prepared by Springer, and tbe mi
nority by Burrows, of Michigan. The
majority report says the McKinley bill
passed with enormous, rates of duties.
Many of then are prohibitory and all are
unnecessarily high. "There was no good
reason," says the report, "for maintaining
such high taxes upon articles so necessary
to tbe neaitn and comiort ot tbe people.
1 wenty-nve per cent was all tbe protec
tion tbe wool manufacturers in 1867
asked, but it seems in tbe case of woolen
goods, as well as all others, the amouBt
of protection required increases from
year to year.- As tbe industries grow
older and are better established more
protection is demanded. Tbe wool
growers of 1867 believed tbe imposition
ot high tariffs on wool would secure tbem
control of the beme market. Tbe result
proves how greatly they were mistaken,
and how ineffectual the law has been to
produce a condition they desired. As to
its effects on prices wool bas steadily de
clined from 1867, wben it was worth 63
cents per pound. The McKinley act
increased the duty on wool and average
oi i cent per pound. I ne result has been
a fall in the prices of 2 to 3 cents per
pound, instead of a rise. Tbe result of
twtnty five years of experiment bas been
a reduction of one-half in the number of
sheep in tbe states east of tbe Mississippi
and Missouri Kivers, and a reduction ot
one-half cent in tbe price of tbe wool
Nor have the manufacturers of woolen
goods been benefited by the imposition
of high duties on wool and woolen goods,
the quality ot such goods has deteriorated
from year to year to year since tbe dis
covety of machinery for converting
woolen rags into substitutes for wool
Tbe high protective tariff on wool bas
tbe direct effect of limiting the demand
lor American wools, for tbe reason tbat
under such tariffs neither domestic wools,
nor manufactures of wool, can be cx
ported and sold at a profit. Only that
amount of domestic wool will be pur
chased and consumed which is required
to mix with foreign wool to produce the
required quality and quantity ot goods to
supply tbe borne market.
Xbe minority report says tbat from
both tbe wool consumers and tbe manu
facturers there comes an almost unani
mous sentiment tbat tbe law be per
mitted to stand as it is. Not only are
tbe growers and manufacturers benefitted
by tbe law, but tbe consumers bave
shared tbe benefit. Tbe people of the
United States find themselves able to
secure the woolens required at a smaller
cost tban ever - before. Tbe committe's
bill' proposes to deprive the wool grow
ing industries of tbe United States at one
blow of tbe entire tariff protection It has
heretofore enjoyed. Tbe effect will be
tbe complete and final abandonment of
tbe effort to produce in tbe United States
tbe supply of wool needed for the clothes
of our people. Tbe bill does not mean
cheaper wool for the masses, but does
mean tbe wiping out of great properties,

he Berlin Bio .
Berlin, Feb. 27. Despite the quiet
aspect of the streets this morning and
afternoon, apprehensions were felt for
tbe evening. Tbe situation seemed to be
under tbe absolute control of the police
until nightfall, when rowdyism was re
newed by a tussle Witb the authorities.
Tbe first encounter occurred at the
Haeckescbe market, where a noisy mob
assembled, consisting of young working
men, probably excited witb beer and
and consisting largely of most of the
rowdy element in Berlin. The patrols
became so blocked io tbe masses of tbe
crowd tbat tbey sent for re inforcements.
Then' tbey -charged the mob with sabres
drawn, driving them toward Noue Fred
erich strasse and Orainenbenger strasse.
Several thousand rioters, thus separated
by tbe police tactics, reassembled later
in tbe streets in tbe noitber quarter and
Rosentbaler strasse became the next
focus for rioting. The position at 9
o'clock appeared critical. . A great mass
of people assembled in groups, listening
to socialist speakers, who violently de
nounced the government, tbe police,
and everything comprising the existing
order of things. Tbe police made an
other charge and repeated it again and
again, but tbe crowd, after giving way a
little at each charge, reclesed ranks and
fought the police with desperate energy,
using as weapons sticks, stones, heavy
billets of wood and anything tbey could
lay hands upon.
Behrlns bea Controversy.
Washington, Feb. 29. Negotiations
between the United states and Great
Britain, looking to the submission to ar
bitration of the controversy between tbe
two countries in tbe rJehring sea seal
fisheries, reached a favorable conclusion
today. Pauncefote, tbe British minister,
signed a treaty today of arbitration on
behalf of Great Britain. He said he was
fully authorized by Lord Salisbury to
take this action. Blaine signed tbe doc
ument in behalf, of this government, and
tbe matter is consummated so far as the
diplomatic part of tbe business is con
cerned. Tbe treaty is etill subject, how
ever, to tbe action of tbe British parlia
ment and tbe United States senate. The
exact terms of tbe treaty cannot now be
stated, but it is known tnat tbe board of
arbitration will consist of seven persons,
two representing the' United States, two
Great Britain, one of whon is to be a
Canadian, and one each representing tbe
neutral governments of France, Sweden
and Italy.
Afraid of Assassination. -
San Salvador," Feb. 29. Jt is stated
here with great posiiiveness tbat General
Reina Barrios, who some time ago re
turned from San Francisco, Cal., to run
as a candidate for tbe presidency, is a
prisoner in a hotel, where he has been
stopping with bis family. President
Barrill&s, it is alleged, caused rumors to
be spread to tbe effect tbat Barnog and
powerful enemies were planning to assas
sinate bim. To protect bim from this
danger tbe president is maintaining a
constant guard of troops around the hotel.
General Barrios' wife, who is an Ameri
can woman, is half crazed through fear
that be will be murdered. Colonel Lima,
who, as alleged, failed to carry out
Barnllas' orders to start tbe pretended
revolt wbich was to be attributed to
General Ennquez and thus afford a pre
text for killing the latter, has, it is said,
been whipped to death in the peniten
tiary. President Barrillas, it is said, is
frightened by the idea that be will be
poisoned.
Beed's Baling Sustained.
Washington, Feb. 29. The "no quo
rum" case, in which the legality of the
Dingley worsted act was attacked by im
porters, was today decided by tbe United
States supreme court. The Lingley act
was passed through the action of Speaker
Reed in counting a quorum when tbe
quorum was of members present, but not
a quorum of members voting. Tbe im
porters maintained Speaker Reed's action
was in violation of the tonstitution, and
an act passed in tbis manner void. The
court, in the opinion of Justice Brewer,
holds tbe "no quorum" rule valid, and
tb.e house of representatives bad a right
to make such a rule.
Supreme Court Decisions.
Washington, Feb. 2?. Three cases in
which importers sought to test tbe con
stitutionality of. the McKinley tariff act

A good farming district in the neighbor

nigh onto three thousand years, be would
have to settle with him after the show was
over.

joists are in place and in another week the
rustic will be on and tbe roof well nnder
way. The stockholders are coming forward
cheerfully with their work and money, and
it is expected tbat insiae of six weeks tbe
building will be ready for D Company. It
will take longer than that of course to com
plete it, but by that time it will be a credit
to tbe town and will provide suitable and
commodious room for tariff or auti tariff de
baters iq search of office.
Hood River Glacier: The bnilding for the
factory is nearly com eted, the boiler is in
place, and the machinery, a planer sticker,
lathe, etc., is expected ap any day. The
company was incorporated for the purpose
of manufacturing all kinds of articles from
wood, bnt at first will put out a stock of

Condon Globe: ' Last Saturday night on
the way home from Condon, the team dnven
bv Mrs. H. C. Btricklin "ran on near tbe
Gross place, and ran into Parman's rig just
in front, smashing both buggies into splin
ters and scattering the occupants all over
that part of the country, mote or less. Mrs.
Stricklin's mother and the little girl were in
the buggy at the time, and it seems almost
miraculous that ail came out of tbe fracaa
with only a few bruises. Hugh was riding
horseback alongside and grabbed the horses
as they started to run, but' was not able to
prevent the smashup.
Telegram: Lieutenant Sage, of the artil
lery at Fort Can by. Who has been here for
two weeks, recruiting men for tbe service,
has already found twelve. He considers
this a verv good showing for the time. Over
fifty bave applied, but few of tbem are free
from some defects. A great many of those
bo sddIv are perfect physically, but are
dissipated, and this is just .the class of men
tnat is pot wanted, ne nnas tnat men, as
role, do not like artillery as well as intan-
try service. Tbey are probably atraid ot
the work, wbich is much harder, except
when in the field. He may remain here
some time yet, as it all depends on tbe
number who make application. .
The Penint whist club met last evening
at tbe residence of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Sat
cliffe, and a very enjoyable time was spent.
Those present were Misses Matilda Hollis
ter. Gertrude Mvers. Minnie Michell, Jen
nie Lown, Ursula Each, Rose Michell, Lou
ise Ruch, Virginia Maraen, Annette Mich
ell, and Messrs. Fletcher Falkner, Edward
Williams. 8. G. Campbell, Harry lxiwns-
dale, Cbanncey Moore, John Booth, Griffith
Williams and Herman H.rnBt. ine brat

the first gentleman's prize, morocco pocket-
book; Mr. Lawns dale, tbe booby, a harle
quin.
East Oregonian: A young man named
Charlie Bolin has very mysteriously dissap-
peared. He bad lately been employed tor
H. C. Vanghn on the reservation, and Mon
day evening, Feb. 15th, came to Pendleton.
He put np bis team at rkopittke a feed yard.
took supper and breakfast at Mc Far land's,
and left without settling for the meals,
stating that he had to go to Athena and
would pay when be returned, since tben
nothing has been seen or heard of him. He
left everything he owned behind, including
his blankets and trunk, which are at the
feedyard. No cause can be assigned for his
disappearance. Ha was a young man of
good habits, bore a reputation for sobriety
and honesty, and was a hard worker. He
had no debts exoept one secured by his
team, and financial difficulty could not have
been the cause of his leaving. He had a
place rented north ot Pendleton, and osten
sibly came down to work on it when he dis
appeared. Dufur Dispatch: At the form of Brazil
Savage, at Wamic, may be seen yellow
Newton Pippin apples, grown in 1890. and
kept in a common cellar, and it speaks well
lor tbe keeping of fruit grown on a high
elevation. Mr S. raised some of the largest
onious ever grown in Uregon: one weighed
32 pounds; a large number oyer 1J; he also
raised cabbage weighing oyer 40 pounds,
All the wheat grown on his tarm averaged
32 bushels per acre; and fruit and vege
tables grew to compare with tbore of any
part of the county, on tbe high prairies of
VYamic and Juniper Flat, and it only needs
a railroad to make it a rich country. A
good road np Tygh bill will make it possi
ble for the farmers of that section to haul
their produce to The Dalle market.
Condon Globe: After diligent searoh,
Sheriff Wilson and Deputy Johnson re
turned home the latter part of last week
without the slippery West, The sheriff has
made arrangements along the different
railroad lines, whereby it will bo almost
impossible for Wert to get out of the coun
try without detection. He may keen hid
for a week or so, but he can't keep up that
lick yery long. It is strange tbat some of
our exchanges even in this county, that
ought to knout better are trying to stir np
a utile sensation by giving false accounts ot
v est s escape, even stating tbat his arrest
was for the "unromantio crime of robbing a
sneep camp. it was not lor robbing a
sheep camp. The complaint wis for rob
bing a sheep herder of about SS0 while at
London. Whether West was assisted by
outside parties or not to escane. he escaned.
and that's all there is to it nntil he is can-
tared again, wbich we think will be before
long.

creased facilities to fight fiie the rates of in

Arrangements are being made to hold tbe
next teachers' institute at Hood River, and
tbe time of meeting will probably be in

was a most successful affair, and the inter

tional prosperity of the county.
Gambler Sandy Olds, the murderer of
Emil Weber, and after fonr trials, sentenced

tiary, bas fulfilled tbat obligation and is

Ranch, Crook county, passed away after
suffering a severe attack of the prevailing
pideinio, the grip. Deceased was one of

Last evening, a memorial service, in hon
of tbe late Charles W. Spurgeon, the
celebrated English divine, was held at the
court house and largely attended. Major
Ingalls, who it appears ia also an evangelist,
delivered tbe meinoriam, giving a concise
and interesting review of the life of the
wonderful minister strongly portraying the
power of an active Christian Ufa. The re
marks of the speakei were attentively
listenad to throughout. Similar services
have been held in many places throughont
the country, which attests the wonderful
popularity and prominence which Spurgeon
attained during his life time.
The recent rains an near to have been gen
eral throughout Wasco county, reports from
all directions showing that the torm bad
been general. As far south as Antelope tbe
rain fell in good old-fashioned style and will
result in a wonderful improvement in both
stock and ranches. Everything bids fair
for one of-the most bounteous harvests ever
experienced in this seotion and should the
present favorable conditions keep np there
will be little ase ol trying to get rain by
artificial means. What is better than all is
the fact that prices for grain promise to
rule as high, it not higher, than the past
season, wbich will bring happiness to many
home whose only shadow to-day is tbe
mortgage on tbe farm. A good crop and
good prices will release this and give the
honest, hard-working toiler a chance to work
and liye for himself and family, free from
tbe iron grasp of money sharks who only
thrive upon the misfortunes of others.

bathing in the same will not result in an
effectual cure, it will not be injurious.
Contrary to general expectation the en
tertainment given last night by the mem
bers of tbe Mic-Mao club was not all that
bad been anticipated. It is possible that
the large audience gathered, with the recol-
lectious of the first ooncert given bv the
club fully in mind, expected too much, but
whatever tbe cause, tbere seemed to be a
prevailing feeling of disappointment a the
rendition of the different numbers on the
programme proceeded. Aside from the in
strumental duet by Miss Anna Lang and
Professor Birgfeld and the singing of "Gent
ly Lord, Oh Gently Lead Us" by Mrs.
Bradshaw the performance was noticeably
weak.
Ed. Huntley, the well known clothing
house drummer, wbo some weeks ago was
robbed of bis diamonds and gold watch, has
recovered his valuable property and again is
happy as a lord. Everyone knows "Dia
mond Ed," as he is known, and when it was
learned that he had been held np by high
waymen and robbed of his jewels, he met
with general sympathy from a host of
friends. On Monday last, while in Port
land, be was approached by a gentleman,
who soon make his business known and the
result Was that Huntly gave np $2000 in
solid coin and in return received his highly
prized diamonds and watch. Once more he
is able to strut about tbe streets with $18,
000 in diamonds displayed upon his shirt
bosom while the "go between, safe from
arrest and prosecution, has stowed away the
$2000 paid for the recovery of tbe same.

The long railway trestle, just west of the
Umatilla house, while a fayorite resort is
not the safest plaoe for a Sunday afternoon -ramble
as was experienced by two young
ladiea and a gentleman. Sunday afternoon..
The party consisted of tho Misses Grace and
Nellie Michell and Mr. Jobn C Hertz, and
on reaching about the center of the danger
ous walk the shrill whistle of an engine
warned them of an approaching train. It
was impossible to retrace their steps and
the appearance of ' the locomotive at the
west approach cat off all hope of escape in
that direction. The young ladios however
were equal to the emergency and with their
escort climbed oat upon the protuding ends
of the timbers at tbe aide of the rail aad
there held on like grim death while the
train dashed by almost over them, and they
had a chance to regain terra firms. Several
accidents have ooourred to persons seeking
to walk this trestle and probably more will
result nnleas proper steps are taken to pre
vent the use of the dangerous struotare by
pedestrians. .

of as possible candidates for county clerk.
V. C. Brock, the present clerk, will also
probably be in the field, but it is being
hinted tbat he ha other political aspira
tions.
Hiram Tyrel and Professor Dunn will
probably be opponents on the two tickets
for school superintendent.
R. J. Glim, although mentioned for sev
eral office; will likely make the fight for
county judge.
Slight Shooked.
From Monday's Dally.
The Dalle is keeping np with the pro
cession, Uf late a number ot tbe towns in
this state and California bave enjoyed the
sensation of a genuine earthquake and not
to be behind time the residents of the city
this morning experienced the same novelty.
It took place about 3 o'clock, the vibration
being plainly felt and seemed to travel from
north to south. The "quake" was of short
duration, bnt lasted long enough to impress
itself upon the minds of several who sud
denly awoke and had to guess whether they
bad just escaped an encounter with a large
sized night mare or had been struck with a
'jag." No harm was done to any one, so
far as learned,but one citizen who happened
to get np to obtain a glass of water for a
juvenile member of the family was so start
led by the sudden tremor that .he involun
tarily drank the liquid to steady his nerves.
