The bolt apparently first struck the house at the north gable, traveling along the roof removing one layer of shingles until bout midway of the roof, when it passed down, taking off the shingles for a space of about a foot wide; when, reaching the eves, it separated on the roof of a one story' addition and pa-sing down each side tore the rustic for a space of about ten feet square, from the ratters on each side ol the main portion of the house. Strange to say, none of the inmates of the house -were injured, or felt the electric shock. Astonan: The self-righting life-boat is ex pected here soon on its way to Iliwaco. These boats right themselves in ten seconds aftor being capsized. The boat expected here is 30 ieet long, 7 feet beam, and 3 feet deep, carvel built, and with air chambers at the bow and stern, covered with water proof caovas. The peculiar features in the construction are tne presence or a raise oos tom, which runs from stem to stern precise ly at the water line, and is furnished with two circular gratings into which, if neces sary, pumps can be inserted. In the sides, just above midships, there are long flans woiking on binges, wbicb,when opened, will permit any water above the false bottom to run out, and when closed are water tight. Tbe space below the false bottom is packed with dry tule grass, which is even lighter than cork and almost impervious to water. ford, who has been editor of the paper from its start. ,- - - ; - .

Tne primary for the lirat ward will be held this evening at the conncil chambers and for the second at the' county court room, for the nomination of Ward officers to be voted for next Monday. Mr. A. J. Grubb, living at Pleasant' ridge. near this city, had the misfortune to cut off hib left thumb Tuesday while hewing a brake block. The hemorrhage was stopped, the wound dressed and tbe man is getting alozg as well as could be expected. The bridge near Wyeth burned this after noon for a distance of 200 feet. - As soon as news reached this city the work train left for the scene of the disaster. The train, due here at 1 P. M ," arrived on time, but No. 7, which passed west at 4:10, will be delayed at that point some time. Aslorian: The body cf a man, so greatly decomposed as to be unrecognizable, drifted on the beach of Puget island yesterday. Tbe remains have evidently been in the water for more than one month, and it is presumed are those of some nuknown per son drowned np the river. Che body was brought to the city and tatten in charge by the coroner. Biker City Enquirer: Mrs. Pennington, the mother of Kid Pennington, who was sentenced to the Oregon penitentiary tfor life has returned here from her home in the east to secure the pardon of her con. The pardon will probably be crantel as tbe governor has indiuatei tbat be would prob- auly pinion tbe man during bis term in otfice. The body of Angus Byer?, who was drowned June 4th, by falling from a scaffold while repairing a hah-whetl at (Jelilo, was found floating in the river opposite this city about 8 o'clock this morning, and mirte fast to the Washington bank. Justice Gilinore, of Rocklancl.-Wash., will hold the inquest and the remains will be buried in the Odd Fellows' cemetery to-morrow morning. Among those who have placed tbeir names before the public for city recorder is Mr. M Maclnnis, who informed us before the primary was held that he was in the "6gh to the end," and in a conversation with him to-day he expressed himself as fully deter mined to stand as a candidate next Mon day. He is competent for the position, and this is stated without the least disparage ment of the qualifications of any of the op posing candidates. Here is a society item from the Linkville Star: "Meacham, in Umatilla county, is shaken to the bottoms of its skirts and coat tails by tbe June moon go-early and come late rinctam? of Maggie, Minnie and Annie Bellen, three motherless maidens, members of society there. They- rip-snorted and canoodled so high around that burg tbat their father bad to send them to the Boys' and Girls' Aid society of Portland to be put under moral, intellectual and physical check-reins. From a Baker City exchange we learn that papers were issued Tuesday from the county clerk s office at the instigation of tbe Bowers Rubber Company, against Baker City, tor tbe recovery of $1700. i'he corn pan v hold city scrip to tbe amount of $1700 and have demanded payment, and the treasury not being in a condition to stand the pressure of a $1700 draft the company have decided to bring suit. This is the second suit which has been brought against Baker City. .Eugene Register: Harry Arnold and Wm, Andrew. the two hcrse thieves who have been in jail since the fait term of court awaiting trial, were arraiuged before the grand jury Monday afternoon, a true bill found against them, and tbey were then taken before the judge, plead guilty and were sentenced to one year each in the state penitentiary. Wben arrested they pre tended to be innocent, but soon after wanted to plead guilty and be sent up so as to have it over witb as quickly as possible. They are the ones who escaped from jail re cently, but were captured at Harrisbuig and bronght back. Portland Telegram: John C. Carroll, liv ing at the Qui in by house, and Otto Wein. residing at 241 Fifth street, hired a boat yesterday afternoon, and rowed up to Ross island on a pleasure excursion. They went in swimming, and the two of them at tempted to swim to nn island about 500 feet away. VY ein got to the bank and rested, but Carroll turned and attempted to swim back. He had only proceeded a little dis tance when he commenced to plunge about in an excited manner, and before Wein could reach bun he sank and did not rise. Wein came to this city and notified the cor- ouer. it was too late then to attempt to recover the body. Carroll's relatives live at Oakland, III., and they were notified last night by wire. Ah incendiary fire happened at Latonrelle yesterday about miduight. It was first noticed by Mr. Al. Hudson, conductor on No. 22, and then the flames had spent their fury. J here were, four buildings destroyed two hotels, general merchandise store and freight warehouse, and the general suppo sition is that it was the work of a miscreant. The loss cannot well be estimated: bnt it will reach from $10,000 to $15 000. What insurance there was on the buildings cannot be ascertained. The little hamlet of Lat onrelle is pleasantly situated about 7 miles east of Troutdale, and consists of a few dwellings, two hotels, store, saloon and freight warehouse. As a result of the fire all the business buildings were destroyed except the saloon. A dispatch in tr.e Pout Intelligencer con tains the news of the death of Rev. A. Lnrr bach. It was dated Port Townsend, Jnne 8th, and is as follows: "Rev. Abraham Laubacb, of Port Discovery, died unexpect edly at 4 o'clock this morning of heart fail are.

He possessed a good farm near Port Discovery." Eart Oregonian: Tuesday night about 12 o'clock a man was seen attempting to jump from the main street bridge. He was4 promptly prevented from entering the be ydnd by the water route, as was bis inten tion, and Policeman Clark was notified. who cdnveyed him to the city jail with th assistance of Mack McCullock. They were compelled to stop occasionally to allow him to pray at bis request, and he would drop down on his knees on the sidewalk. Short ly after he war locked up, he tore bis cloth ing into strips and endeavored to bang him self. This freak was discovered in time and be was then taken to the county jail. where he 'has since been confined. He made a struggle for liberty on neanng the court bouse, remarking tbat be did not want to enter a Roman Catholic church. He refused to tell his name, and gaye. no account of himself except that he had been plowing in the eountry at $1 a day, and now wants to meet his dead sister. He is a short, stoutly built individual, sandy com- plexiooed, abont thirty hve years old, and looks and is dressed like a working-man. Nothing has been discoved as to his iden tity.

Bright, of Wasco, was in the city yesterday. ' . The injury to grain in this county was .caused in a great measure by late frost; but it may revive before baryest. Mr. Geo. W. Barnes, an attorney of Prineyille, arrived on. the midnight train irom Portland en route to his home.. . Mr. C. E. Joaes has disposed of bis inter From Friday's Daily. Ex Gov.

M.V Cartwright, of Hay Creek. manager of the Baldwin Sheep and Land Co , is in the city. The commencement exercises at the Wasco Independent and St. Mary's acade mies bave attracted very many people from the country to tbe city. Mr, H. C. Gordian placed on our table to-day a box of delicious black Tartarian cherries. They, were the most delicious of any we bave seen this year. Mr. C O. Force, of Mowery, Crook county, gave ns a pleasant call to-day. He reports spring grain damaged very much on account of late frosts, but fall wheat in good condition. Fossil Joutnak Nate Cecil was np here this week baying cattle for J. H. Thomas. He purchased abont 500 three and four- st in the Moro Observer to Mr. J. B. Hoa-i year-old steers and dry cows, receiving part of this number from most of the cat tletnen in the neighborhood. Tbe price paid was $19 for cows, $25 for threes and S27 for fours. They are to be delivered next month at Deschutes Bridge. The train arriyed in tne city a few min utes late this afternoon; but connection was had with Portland, the Oregonian contain ing tbe latest news was received and every body was happy. The news of the injury to crops in Sher man county is received with great regret by our citizens. A few days ago there were indications of a bountiful harvest; bnt the fields present a very sorry sight at present. Mr. A. W. Branner proprietor ot tbe Prineville Stage Co. and wife are spending a few days in the city. Mrs. Branner's two sisters have been in attendance on St. Mary's Academy during the past year. There will be a meeting of Mt. Hood Hose Co., No. 4 to-morrow evening at the hose house, corner of Ninth and Union streets. A full attendance is requested, as matters of importance will be transacted. James Beam, chief car repairer for the Northern Pacific at Hunt's Junction, was , run over by an O. & W.

By rason of the burned bridge at Wyeth the Baker took the passengers from th west-bound train to the Locks last night It started from the wharf boat about 8 o'clock; bnt did not return with tbe east- bound passengers nntu 11 o clock this morning. The passengers which left Portland last evening at 74 o'clock were until 11 o'clock this morning before reaching Ibe Dalles, i his was 1 long and tedious ride, and was caused by the Baker waiting at the Locks expecting the bridge at Wyeth to be completed. The nominations for water commissioners last evening resulted in Dr. O. C. Hollister being mentioned for the first ward and W, H. Wilson for tbe second. For councilmen C. F. Lauer was named for the first and Tbos. Joles for tbe second. There was not j a very large attendance at the meetings. An express package at tbe Umatilla House is ci eating considerable attention. It seems to be a package of $20 pieces, marked $15UU, from a prominent official; but on be ing handled proves to be of too light weight for coin, ibe bag is full of checks, and the writing is both a delusion and a snare. Journal: Henry Steers and T. L. Stewart left Wednesday morning with two car loads of fine large borses, v. Iiich they are taking to the Chicago maiket. Lhey nhippen from Arlington. Tbry took 21 head each; the latter sr borses were broke to work, while those of the firmer are onbroke. Should they find a good market, they will bave several car lo-ids shipped from here, and remain east until they sell them. The Baker this morning transferred east bound passengers to the cars at Hood River, and tbey arrived in the city about 11 o'clock. The burned bridge at Wyeth was repaired, and the east-bound train, due here at 12:50 P. M., arrived at 2 o'clock. If the transfer at the locks had been made when th? train arrived passen gers would bave arrived in The Dalles at 4 o'clock this morning. We have received cards announcing the marriage of Miss Dora, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Allen to Henry W. Brooke, at North Yakima, Wash., June 8th. The bride is well known to our citizens baying resided here for a number of years, and Mr. Brooke was at one time an employe in tbe shops of tbe Union Pacific, but is now a merchant in Seattle, Wash. The young people will receive tbe congratulations of numerous friends in entering this new rela tion in life. OREGON WEATHER SERVICE, Dr. W. E. Rinehnrt, of this city, returned to-day from attending the Oregon State Medical A-sociation. which has been in ses sion in Portland for the past few days. The honor ot president ot tbe association was conferred on tbe doctor, and no physician in the state is more capable to fill the position. Through the efforts of Dr. Rinebart the next session of the association will be held in this city, and The Dalles should give the physicians a becoming welcome. Tbey will come to view tbe scenery ot the gorge of the Columbia river, and every effort should be made to properly entertain them. The meeting will be held on the second Tuesday in June, lb)6. During the past few days an elegant as sortment of clocks and watches have been received at Floyd & Shown's in this city. Tbe clocks are of the latest pattern?, and vary in price according to design and works. In the line of watches a better assortment has never been exhibited in the city, and comprise the latest designs and most costly gold and silver makes. Any person desir- lug a time-piece, either for the parlor ot the pocket should examine these before pur chasing elsewhere. JLo examine the display of these time-keepers is well worth an hour of leisure. Pay this emporium of clocks and watches a visit, at tbe corner of Second and Union, and you will be repaid for the trouble. Colonel L. L. Polk, the president of the Farmers' Alliance, died at his home in Washington City last Saturday morning. Colouel Polk was a relative of President Polk and a native of North Carolina, aged 55 years. He served for a time in tbe con federate army, but resigned to enter the state legislature. Liter he was commis sioner of Agriculture; still later he began the publication of the Progressive Farmer. At tbe time of his death he was serving his third term as president of tbe Farmers' Al liance. His home was in Raleigh, N C. Had he survived he probably would have been nominated for president or vice presi dent at the People's party convention, soon to be held in Omaha. We regret to learn that two members of the present faculty of Wasco Independent Academy ' will not be retained during the coming year. Prof. Ingalls, tbe principal, is a scholar and well adapted to the posi tion, and the same can be said of Miss Selma G. Kiebbeil, The. academy cannot expect to prosper while it is constantly changing teachers, and economy in this regard often results to the disadvantage of any institu tion of learning. Good educators should he employed at good salaries, and in an inde pendent academy no attention should be given to their religious belief, whether tbey are Baptists, Methodists, COngregationalists or Episcopalians. While they do tbeir work well and satisfactory the directors should employ them. A successful acade my cannot be run on a ten-cent basis. In (Jo-operatlon Wrtb 1). M. Weather Bureau, of th,e Department of AKrieultnre- Central Office Portland, Oregon. Crop Weather Bulletin, No. 11, for week ending Tuesday, June 14, 1892: EASTERN OBEGON. Weather Cool and partly cloudy weather prevailed with .general showers on the 10th The rainfall varied from .08 of an inch to one-half inch. Crops More rain is greatly needed. The wheat prospects were never better up to May 20th, which could be represented by 110, wai'e now they are down to from 60 to 70; rain inside the next week would raise the prospects ten points or more. Volunteer wheat is about a failure. In Umatilla, Morrow, Sherman, Gilliam and Wasco counties the wheat was damaged by the hot winds of May, and some fields will not be worth cutting. Sspring grain was also injured by the frosts on the 2d Inst, in many localities. In Union, Wal lowa and a few interior counties the con ditions are more encouraging and far bet ter; excellent prospects prevail In the Grande Ronde valley where wheat and fruit promise large yields. The rain on the 19th was worth hundreds of thous ands of dollars." The wheat prospects are certainly gloomy, but yet it may become better by the occurrence of seasonable rains. Rye hay is being cut and yielding two tons to the acre. The fruit prospects ere better lnan they are in Western Oregon-. Sweet corn will be ripe about The Dalles within two weeks. The Columbia river fell but is now ris ing again; but several of its tributaries have passed their greatest rise and are now falling and will continue to fall. B. S. Paoub, Observer U. S. Weather-Bnrean. 60 per cent of the vote cast in The Dallei j Mr. Fitzgerald received 27 per cent of the vote cast in Hood River. Had Mr. Coon received only tbe same proportion of The I Dalles vote tbat Mr. Chandler did of the Hood River vote he would have been beaten by 175 votes. Had Mr. Shelley been treated in the same shabby manner in The Dalles as Mr. Fitzgerald was in Hood River his majority of 4S6 would have changed to 90 against. I believe that the editor of the Glacier is fair and courteous enough to make the amende honorable which tbe facts plainly require. There is a great deal of unfounded calum ny being circulated as to bow the defeat of Republican nominees for judge and sheriff I came about. There need be no uncertainty about tbe defeat of Mr. Batch. Tbe Re publicans who beat him did not go into tbe woods on election day; they worked openly against him said tbey would beat him, and the candid ones among them rejoice that it is accomplished. There is a prominent Republican engaged I in throwing stones on account of this elec tion wbo lives in a glass house so fragile that a well directed grain of sand would shatter it. One faction of the Republican party can beat the other at a primary, but neither of them can beat the other when it is com bined with the Democratic party on any office in this county, and the sooner both factions realize this the better for the party they profess to belong to. x Very respectfully, UNO.

The city primary held at the court house last evening attraced a large number of citizens, and when the meeting was called to order there was barely standing room in the aisles. Mr. W. Butler was elected chairman, and Messrs. Max Vogt, jr., and Hugh Gourlay, secretaries; H. J. Maier, W. C. Allaway and M. T. Nolan, tellers; and, later in the eynning, D. L.

This motion was then reconsidered, and the plurality rule adopted. On the second bal lot Mr. Dan Maloney was declared the nominee. ' For city treasurer there were two candi dates, Messrs. L. Rorden and E. Jacobsen, and the first ballot resulted in the nomma- nation of Mr. Rorden. Mr. J. O.

Why So Anxiously Concerned ? y The prestige of the Royal Baking Powder and its constant success are matters of anxious con cern to envious competitors. It is noted that advertisements of other bakinf powders are filled with spleen, malice and mis representation against Jhe Royal, more than with honest claims as to their own goods. That the Royal Baking Powder makes finer, whiter, sweeter, more wholesome cookery, the ladies who have tried other kinds are willing to testify and tell their neighbors; this fact is a serious concern to all competitors. The superb quality of the Royal Baking Pow der, over and above all other kinds, is never so manifest as when tried in comparison. It has greater strength and does not deteriorate with age, the last spoonful in the can being as good as the first.

A storm of wind and rain, which in some sections de veloped into a veritable cyclone, laid waste tbe southern central portion of the state late yesterday afternoon, and it will be some days before tbe full extent of the disaster is known. Tbat there bas been loss of life is beyond question, bnt time atone can tell how many byes are lost. Jackson, Martin, Faribault, Free born and Blue Earth counties were tbe scene of the storm, although it was very general all over the state at tbe time of tbe disaster. Tbe cyclone began near Jackson, and, after sweeping acre 88 Martin and Faribault counties, scattered near Wells and took a northeasterly course. It then - suddenly swept to tbe south aud disappeared below Wells. Tbe loss of life will be very large. Some estimates are running as high as 100, al though tbe extreme figure seems more probable to be between 40 and 50. Everything in tbe path of tbe storm was swept from tbe earth, honses and barns being splintered and trees and telegraph poles snapped like pi pes terns. Tbe debris was strewn along tbe railroad tracks, so tbat where traffic was not in terfered with by washouts, it was blocked by wrecked buildings and trees.

An ex amination of tbe surroundings revealed halt a dozen people lying amdng the broken timbers, all seriously and some fatally hurt. Democrats Wilt Not Fuse. St. Paul, Mion June 10.
