Fatal End of a Ornnken Frolic Hailey, Idaho,- March 17 At 4 o'clock this morn inc. in the bar -room of tbe Star brewery, this city, Lei Hallstrom a Finlander, aged 30 years, 'was shot and instantly killed bv Jobn Hendell, tbe proprietor of tbe brewery. Hallstrom aud other Finns went to tbe brewery at midnight and imbibed freely of beer without molestation until 3 o'clock, when Hendell decided to close the bouse ana ordered his patrons out. This was dis regarded by tbe now well intoxicated men, who desired to continue the drnoken frolic till dayiigbt. This led to a per sonal encounter between Hendell and Hallstrom. The latter being much tbe stronger man, Hendell broke away and ran ior a pistol. At the same time Louis Schrotder, an attache ot tbe brewery, also appeared on tbe scene with a gun and both be and Hendell Urea n snot each and instantly killed Hallstrcm. Tbe sheriff was on band promptly and lodged both Hendell and Scbroeder in jail. At tbe coroner's inquest held todav before Justice Ervio Johnson, the iury returned the yerdict that Hallstrom met bis death with a bullet from a pistol in John Hen dell's hand. Hendell does not appear to realize tbe gravity of tbe situation. He has a violent temper. He is thought by some to be insane. Hallstrom came to .Afcierica ' eleven years ago. He bus worked in tbe mines of Park City, Utah, where bis brother Sam now resides. He was naturally inclined to be ugly wben drunk:. The Sliver Question.' New York, March 17 Ex United States Treasurer Huston, speaking of the currency question, said be thought Cleve land was going to have a hot time trying to get congress to legislate to suit bim in an etdeavor to havo the Sherman sil ver purchase act repealed. He said: 1 believe the majority In co tot fe eilvcr, and if the pres.d not give the members what the "I believe the majority in congress is ent does give the members what they desire in the way of patronage I predict a reg ular war on bim. It rather looks like war now, and wben the fur begins to fly the country will have infinite amusement I do not think a single gold bond should be issued. We should stop the coinage of silver, tor that is the only way toeolve the financial problem. It is said you advocate ex- Jfresident Harrison lor tbe presidency in 1896?" think he would be a logical candi date. When tbe people have bad time to consider bis administration he will be a more popular man than now. Tbe re sult may be bis nomination again in 1896." ' Italian Anarchists. Rome, March 17. A bomb was ex ploded io tbe Aocini Mattel palace, tbe official residence of United Slates Minis ter Porter earl; tbis morning. Fortu natelv nobody was burt and bat little damage was done to tbe building No cause is known for tbe deed. Tbe building was occupied by two other families besides that ot United States Minister Fprter.. As a similar uutraere was perpetrated in the same buildmp; id loUa, and as roiur Dad only engaged the building for occupation in tbe cloeiDK days ot that year, it is be lieved tbe fact of tbe place being inhabi ted by an American minister bad noth irg to do witb the outrage, but thai tbe motive for causing the explosion was to gratify a desire lor vengeance upon tbe proprietor of the place, irrespective or whether tbe "residents were iniired or cot. This was tbe motive sospected at tbe time of tbe first explosion, and there is no reason to take a different view. Complaint Against Tnrctfnh Officials. Boston, March 17 Owing to alleged outrages by Turkish omciils upon tbe rights of American citizens in Turkey, Rev. Dr. Judson Smith, jr , foreign ecre tary ot the American board ; Rev. C. C. Tracy, missionary from Morsonan, Tur key, and Kev. Ur. Jidwin (J Webh, one of tbe prudential committee ot tbe Amer ican board, bave gone to Washington to lay tbe facts before tbe government There are recent complaints that Turkish officials bave interfered witb tbe mails of tbe missionaries, and even witb tbe tele- prams of United States government offi cials. Tbe statement is made that a telegram from tbe United States consul at Sivas baa been suppressed. It is also said Minister Thompson reports he sent telegrams to the United States govern ment, and bas not received any reply, aud toncluded that those dispatches bave also been stopped by tbe Turkish gov ernment. i . . Indignant Canadians. Ottawa, March 17 It is 'probable that if the indignation in official circles here does not subside Sir Cbarles Tapper will be recalled as high commissioner in London. Tbe government is angry over bis action in regard to tbe French treaty. draft of which is now before tbe Cana dian parliament, which Sir Cbarles nego tiated. He says one tbin and tbe mem bers of tbe government say another in re spect to . tbe negotiations prior to the signing of the treaty. The matter was ventilated in parliament last nigbt, and tbe records were produced. Mr. Foster, who leads the commons, adheres to what be bas already said in regard to the ne gotiations, tbe cabled interview with tbe bigb commissioner to tbe contrary not withstanding. Will Sot Heed tbe Protest. Washington, March 17 Tbe state ment in tbe New York papers that a pro test, numerously signed oy prominent citizens, against the consummation of tbe extradition treaty with Russia, wonld be sent to Secretary of State Gr-sbam, was shown to tbe secretary tbis afternoon. He said be bad not received tbe protest. and, in reply to a question as to whether it would avail anything, said be thought not. He bad never beard of the with drawal of a treaty by either party to it after it bad been ratified and pending the exchange of ratifications. Tbis is tbe position tbe Russian extradition treaty now occupies. It bas been ratified by the senate of tbe United States, and the exchange of certificates of ratification is expected to take piace in St. Petersburg within a very snort lime. Fell Down a Shaft. Hazblton. Pa., March 17 While at work on Stockton colliery, Joseph Sav- atzkas and Jobn ttaydos tell down the man way of the shaft, in which they were working. This morning the tire boss, entering, found both on tbe gang way. SavatZKas was aeau; uis cwupnu ion was still .alive, bat died in a few hours at. tbe hospital. .It is supposed tbe men, wishing to do extra work, re mained after tbe others bad left, and that, coming down be man-way, one of tbem slipped, and, falling upon his com panion, both were precipitated 50 feet to the bottom. An Old baehiac SJetane. English, Iadn March 17 Otto Faul- kenbnrg, recently convicted of white-cap pug, has made conlession giving me names of thirteen persons who lynched John Davidson, at Dolittle's mills, five years ago tor being privy to an assault on Annie J lannagan by bis brother, Uiay Davidson. Clay escaped, but was after ward arrested and sentenced to tbe peni tcntiarv. FaulKenbnrg's confession has led to tbe indictment of the thirteen men tioned. whose names were not known till the arrests were made. A. Horrible Revenge. Berlin, March 17 A miner named Boebme purposely exploded ten pounds of dynamite today in tbe iron mine of Vol&mars Keller, in tbe Harz district. He and six other miners were torn to atoms Upon leaving borne tbis morn me. Boebme gave bis wue a letter. which he said was not to be opened ti l noon. The letter said merely mat Boebme would never return. Boebme's motive is supposed to have been revenge as be bad bad trouble recently witn tbe superintendent of tbe mine, and was con stacily quarreling with bis relloW' work men . Yoanff Ciirl In a Trance. Baltimore, Md., March 17. Miss Lizzie Ensor, whose prolonged comatose state has attracted tbe attention of phys icians, became pallid yesterday and ner body rigid. Her mother placed her ear to tbe girl's heart, wben tbe latter opened bereyes ar.d said: "Don't cry, mother; all's well." She then asked to see a friend, but before the latter arrived. Miss Eusor again relapsed into unconscious oess. It is now one week since tbe girl went into a trance, which resulted from a fright in enured. . '- . lave Bill's Boom. Tacoma, Wash., March 17 Senator David Bennett Hill, of New York is to visit Washington in the fall and will address tbe annual meeting of the Dem ocratic Society of Washinglon, to be held at New Whatcom. The announcement was made last night by one.nl the most prominent Democrats in tbe state. Ac cord. ng to bis story tbe date is fixed, an invitation has been sent, and Senator Hill has accepted it. This trip, it is-said, will make tbe beginning of Senator Hill's presidential boom for tbe campaign ol S96. TLe Death or Jales Ferry. Paris, March 17 Jules Francois Ca- mille Ferry, tbe French statesman, is dead. His death was caused, by an af fection of tbe heart, from which be suf fered, due to tbe effect of a bullet strik ing a rib near the base of tbe heart at the me be was attacked by Aubertin in 1887. He was seized witb spasms early this morning, and lemte every effort made by the physicians, wbo were bas' tily summoned, the convulsions contin ued to grow in . violence, until, be ex pired in ttrrioly severe spasms. A Fieeins Wife. . La Camas, Wasn., March 18 Mrs. Maggie Donoghue. ot Portland, witb two children, aged 1 and 5 years, seeking to avoid her husband, sought refuge in La Camas, stopping at the Mountain house. Her busband, John F. Donoghue, bow- ever, traced ber, and followed, arriving at tbe Mountain house laie Tbursday evening. Both bad revolvers, , and drew at sight, but neither fired . ' Mrs. Donog' bue made a complaint before Justice Payne, and a trial beld late tbe-, same evening resulted in Mr. Donoghue faking the boat next morning tor Vancouver, in charge of Constable Wright, en route to tbe county jail, in lien of giving $250 bonds to keep tbe peace. Mrs. Donoghue also took tbe morning boat for Portland. Is There a Dealt ' New York, March 18 Tbe Wall Street Journal say n: "We understand tbe change of plan in connection with tbe Northern Pacific's debt is full of signifi cance, and means also a change, sooner or later, in the management of tbe com pany. Tbe verdict seems to be that Yil lard must go. Not only public sentiment bag made tbis course very clear, bnt tbe people wbo propose to lift the company out of its present difficulties from its floating debt made tbis condition abso lute before tbey will proceed any far ther in the matter. Inasmuch as tbe fu tore good ot tbe Northern Pacificls debt demands immediate action on the ques tion of tbe floating debt, it is thought Yillard will sacrifice personal pride in the matter for the good of tbe company." , The nine Burning. Honeybbook, Pa., March 18. The Honey brook mine took fire several months ago, burning away tbe supports and closing the openings. It was .sup posed lo have burned itself out. but it is now burning nercer than ever. . ibe surface near the stripplings is so heated that water flowing over it is immediately dried op Grave apprehension is felt for tbe surrounding mines, as the fires are liable to eat into tbeir workings. Mill ions of dollars ot coal property is imper illed. The village of Honey brook, im mediately over tbe mine, is menaced by a collapse of tbe earth. Fissures have al ready rnn through the town, from which quantities of Bmoke and gases are escap ing. Tbe people are in a state of terror. More Engineers Will Go Oat. Toledo, O., March 19 The Ann Arbor strike situation is quiet today, alter the stirring events of; yesterday. Tbe Brotherhood of Engineers held several meetings, at which the order issued yes terday by Judge Ricks, compelling tbe brotherhood to bring its by laws . and constitution into court, was tbe sole topic of ditcussion. Tbe Ann Arbor road had its full quota of freight trains running today, and General Manager Ashley says tbe road is in no danger of a blockade. It was given oat tonight that all tbe en gineers on the Wabash will go on a strike witbin tbe next 43 hoars in sym pathy with the Ann Arbor men. Natalities at a Fire, ' Madrid. March 19 At 3 o'clock this morning fire broke oat la a pastry cook's shop in Saint Sebastian. A keg of i pints exploded and spread tbe .fire to an ad joining bouse, which was densely tenan ted. All tbe occupants were sleeping, and the flames were around tbem before tbey conld be warned. Two families on the top floor of a four story house were suffocated in their beds. Fifteen per sous jumped from the windows. Ten of them were Killed and three received mor'al injuries. Twenty one persons are known to have perished, and several others, whose fate is unknown, are be lieved to bave been burned or crushed in the ruins. . . "Bis rar" Yards Tied l. Spbingfieid, O., Marcb 19 Tbe en tire force ot the "Big Four" yards switchmen went ont on a strike this morning, and tbe yards are again tied np. Tbe switchmen claim that tbey struck because tbe road bad not lived up to tbe agreement to take the men back after tbe compromise two wteks ago- Tbe switchmen demand tbe discharge of Yardmaster Caaney, pay . for overtime, and tbe reinstatement of all tbe strikers, thirty nine in number. ITEMS IN BRIEF From Saturday's Daily L. Boynton, of Kingsley, is in Mr. E, the city. Mr. T. A. Uren, a merchant of Prineyille, is in the city. Mr. F A. Abernethy, of Roslyn, Wash., is in town to-day. Col. J. B. Crossen returned last evening irorn a snort visit to Salem. lion. V . H. Wilson returned this morn ing from attending circuit court at Moro, Sherman county. Moverrents in real estate are becoming quite nveiv, and, during tbe past week, several deeds were filed for record. Cold and dreary winter spread her mantle over the Klickitat hills last night, bat sum mer sunsniue gladdened the city to-day. Mr. H Herbnng left for San Francisco yesterday to replenish bis store in this citv with a complete spring and summer stock of goods. The following deed was filed for record to-day: J. E. Bangs to John Watrin, lots 26, 27. 30 and 31, block 3, Hood River park; $1. Two carloads of very firje beef cattle were at Saltmarshe & Co.'s stockyards to-day for the Portland market. Thev will be shipped this evening. An item going the rounds of the Dress shows that the metropolis is becoming more temperate in the nse of intoxicating liquors, for several saloons have been closed oat dur ing the past year. Stonemau & Fiege have a fine lot of shoes on sale of the latest styles. These were manufactured to their order, and are pecu liarly adapted to this climate. They are maraea aown to suit the times. Manuel Coronada was examined before Justice Schutz this morning for obtaining money under false pretenses, and after bear ing the testimony was discharged from ens tody on motion of tbe district attorney. Al Htmbree. who was arrested in Sher man county for tbe murder of John Kenoa' hot, was indicted by the grand jury lately impanelled at Moro tor manslaugbter. The tri il was continued until the next term of circuit court. me oodervance ot St. ratricks day in Portland yesterday was a very successful uair, and although it rained duriocr the forenoon when tbe procession moved through the streets a .bright, smiling sun shone on the green of the Emerald isle. The town of Grant, in Sherman countv. shows many indications of prosperity, and this summer will unaoubtedly see lively times. As a factor of development the Milling and Distilling Co. will attract con siderable business to that point, aa it will furnish a market for wheat and for live stock. The Mignonette social club gave on 6 of its agreeable parties last evening at Fraternity all, and a very agreeable time was had. It being the evening of St. Patrick's day green was the predominant color. - The names of those present we did not obtain, but we pre same they were the same as those for merly published. The quail which bave been wintered by Mr. and Mrs. Pealer, says the Hood River Glacier, bave been turned ont and Beem to be contented and haipy in their new home. It will prove a fine thing for all lovers of gabie birds if they become plentiful here, hence it is to be hoped no one will disturb tbem for a few years. Judge Burnett, of the third judicial dis trict, interprets contempt of court in the broadest sense, and last Tuesday, when Judge McFadden, the well-knywn Corvallis lawyer, interposed a demurrer in a certain case for the purpose of delay, tin -d him $5 for contempt of court. . This should be fol lowed in every district of the statu. .- Grant Dispatch: The Mountaineer, is jubilant because toe river will be open in a year or so, and it bas a right to congratulate itself, and to have its work appreciated. For thirteen long years Brother Michell bas bad but one object in yiew the upbuilding and prosperity of The Da leg, and no one citizen haa done more to make the name of the city known aod respected abroad. . J. W. Sbelton has began an action in tho circuit court of Union coouty for $50 000 damages, the defendants being Baker & Baker, Slater & Slater, R. Edkin- and A. J. Lawrence wbo signed the complaint of lira. Sbelton No. 1 to have the divorce set aside by reason of fraud. Shelton is a lawyer and so are the defendants, and tbe people may tipect to hear some tales told out of school. We are informed that Mr. Hubbard has taken testimony in about forty cases of claims of damages by reason of Indian depre dations in tbia state thus far, and the amount will aggregate a ' large sum. Th sums claimed by nitizens at The Dalles will foot up about $150,000,. and these date from losses sustained in the Rogue River war in 1850 to those suffered in the Bannack war in 1879. We have received a copy of the first "Bi ennial Report of the Board of Trustees and Supetintendent of the State Reform School at balem, Oregon, for the Biennial lerm Ending Deo. Plat, 1892." . It contains sta tistical tables of expenses, etc., and Dumber of commitments made. yVasco county bas two boys in the institution, and Multnomah 35. - The school is in t good condition finan cially and well managed. The winter of 1893 has been unusually cold both in Europe and American. Dur ing the early part of February the uolden Horn ol Constantinople was irozeo over tor tbe first time since 1854, a period of 39 years. At tbe same time the continent ot North America, . excepting a narrow strip along the Pacific coast, was frozen solid as far south as tbe Unit of Mexico, and the ice in the Potomac river at Washington was two feet thick. It is now unlawful for any person with or without malice to kindle any fare in any field, pasture, enclosure, forest, prairie or timber land not his own, without tbe con sent of the owners. If any fire so started shall do damage to any buildings, fences, crops, cord wood or timber, tbe party who started the fire will be aubjeot to pay a fine. This law prevents hunters and fishermen Irom kindling fire in the forest and mount ains. As the bill had an emergency clause, the law is now in effect. r : The game law went into force on March 15th, and for the benefit of sportsmen we pa til uh the section of the code. "Section 1933 of the game law says: Every person whj shall, within tbe state of Oregon be tween the 15tb day of March and tbe 1st day ot December, of each year, take, kill, injure or destroy, or have in possession, sell or offer for sale, any wild swan, mallard dock, wood duck:, widgeon, teal, spoon bill, gray, black, sprig tail or canvas back duck shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Daring the closing hour of the legisla ture of California, a bill was rushed through, submitting the question of changing the capital from Sacramento to San Jose to the electors of the state at the next general election. It la alleged that this was done in revenge for a cartoon published in the Sacramento Bee, in which the legislators were repreanted at a midnight orgie witb a bountiful supply ot wine and women. ' Yery many of tbe merchants holding the See re sponsible for tbe action of the solona, bave withdrawn tbeir patronage from the paper. Hon. O. P. Hubbard, the agent of the government, finished the work of examina tion of claims for Indian depredations, and left on the Regulator this morning. He has worked very faithfully, and bas frequently given his time nntil midnight to hear testi mony. On bis return he will make a tiip to Canyon City, here some witnesses re side aud where some claims will be pre sented. Mr. Hubbard spoe very favora bly of the justness of tbe demands made by the pioneers in this vicinity, and feels quite positive they will be paid in fnll in about a year. Some of these go back forty years, and many of the witnesses are dead. The Nez Perees are willing to dispose of their land to the government, and in a short time this valuable tract may be expected to be opened for settlement. From tbe Lew iston Teller we learn that Chairman Schlei cher, of tbe Indian commission, was seen tbra week in regard to tbe progress made in the treaty ratification. He reports thing exceedingly favorable bat nothing definite. Mr. Beede arrived Tbursday, and another meeting of the commission will be held at i Absolutely' The United States Official Investigation of baking powden, made under authority of Congress (see Bulletin 13, Chemical Division, U. S. Ag. Dept.), shows the Royal to be a cream of tartar baking powder of the highest quality, and superior to all others in strength, leavening power, and general usefulness. The Royal Baking Powder is thus distinguished by the highest expert official authority the leading Baking PovTder of the world. Lipwai at once. It can then be deter mined accurate y how the matter stands. From the best evidence at hand there is every indication to believe that the whole treaty will be completed within a week or ten days. The justice court was very quiet to day, and tbe docket had nothing of importance on it. Daring our reporter's visit the judi cial ear was attentively listening to a very vivid description of the proper manner of catching fish in a shallow stream. The nar rator recommended heiding them. He said a wing dam should be built across the creek, and then the trout should be driven down into a gunny sack fixed at the outlet. By this means he stated be had caught bushels of tbe finny tribe. 1'his canal and lock method of fronting would operate well in Chenoweth or Mill creeks; but it would be useless to attempt to cath salmon in such a manner. Oar reporter demurred to tbe first part of the pleading, bat sustained the latter part, and so did the court. Mrs. T. J. Marcum. whose husband was sent to the penitentiary from Baker county a few months ago tor cattle stealing, has be come convinced of her husband's guilt and sued for a divorce. When Marcum was sentenced to the penitentiary for one year the wife and children acompanied bim to Salem, Mrs. Maroun desiring to be near him where she conld see him often and thinking she could support herself aod lit tle ones nntil the husband and father would be liberated. This she found a hard task and after a time finding herself penniless and calling over in ber mind the many mis representations made to her by her husband she concluded to seek a legal separation from her unworthy lord and master. At the request of her father, who resides in tbe Willamette Valley, she returned to her par ental roof with her children, who were sub sequently adopted by their grandfather.

Tbe boat bad tied up there for the night, and on clearing away early tbe next morning, just before day, the boat caught and grounded heavily. In trying to yn'l off, the rope broke and the steamer sarnog full against the current. The wheel caught in the rocks and smashed out five paddles, and the shock bent the eccentric rods on one side and tbe boat was helpless. There was nothing to do but to send men to Riparia a foot. Harry Bauguman and Sage Akin ran the entire ten miles to Riparia, in order to catch the north-bound train They took that to Colfax, then got a back and drove to Almota, and got the Almota from winter quarters, steamed np and went down and took the Faxon in tow back to Riparia, where she was repaired in the shops, and re turned Saturday on her usual schedule time.

Tbe governor and state treasurer were re ceived at BaKer Uty witn Dealing 01 arums and tooting of whistles last fnday. rer haps the commission will consider the branch insane asylum a moral necessity for that town. Prineville is infested with a number of persons whose presence is not in me least conducive to the public welfare, and the authorities are considering the question of passing and enforcing an ordinance ridding tbe town ot sacn cnaracten. Mr. Jacob Cooser died at Eugene last Saturday, aged about 74 years. He came to Oregon in 1840 and settled in the Willam ette valley In 1863 and some years follow in be, in company with his sons, did busi ness in The Dalles under the' firm name of Conser & Sons.

Snedis is a fall- blooded American from "away back," and desire to be a landed proprietor in the do moin over which his ancestors held sway for counties ages, lo do this he has to follow the aame routine that the ' Boston man ft does. The Oregon k California Land Com pan used to be assessed on 53,000 acres of land in Lane county. A new ownership book re vealed 250,000 acres. Tbe company fought an asseasment on that basis. The supreme court deoided mostly in favor of the county of Lane. A compromise bas just been made on 136,000 acres. The principle haa been fully, established that the railroad, or land company must pay taxes on tbe land they are entitled to under the grant,whetber patented or not.

He plead guilty to simple assault, aod Justice Claik fined bim $15 and coats, $27 50 in all. Coroner Eastwood sent a letter tc-day to Wapinitia, making inquir es regarding par ticular of the death ot Sam Patterson. It seems that Patterson is one of the heirs to a large fortune which come to him frdm an Euglisn ancestor. This faot induced the coroner to write the letter, aa be believes his affairs should receive attention. Patter son had been in poor health for some time, but was confined to his bed only one day Deiore ne died. Henderson Smith died at Quinny, 111., on the 15th. There is nothing in the mere fact of a party by the name of Smith dying that is remarkable, bat this is a noteworthy case for the reason that this Smith was 119 years of age at tbe time of his death and had married a second wife at the age of 90. His dissipation was oondned to tobaooo, and he was a lifelong Democrat, He saw Wasn ington on several oocasions aud at one time was in the employ of the father of his ooua try. He was born in Virginia. Portland is likely to bave telephone con nection with every town of any importance in tlis northwest, says tbe Oregonian. -The Oregon Telephone & Telegraph Company, whose wires already reach the Sound, Spo kane and towns of the Willamette valley, will now build a line from The Dalles to Prineville. taking in Dufur, Kingsley, Wa mic and other towns.

Aa exchange says: Would it not be well for some of our farmers ta tarn their atten tion to raising hogs and converting them into smoked meat. Hams are selling for 18 aud 19 cents a pound and pork is selling for 7i to 9 cents a pound. In Illinois peo ple thought they were doing well wben they could sell their core-fed pork for $2 50 to $3.75 a hundred pounds. Here people growl when tbey oared meat, haaon and hams, are worth 1 only 12 to 14 cents a pound. At the last named prices oar farm ers got tired raising and tatting hogs and quit the business, to such an extent that very few bogs are raised at the present time. Hogs can be simmered on alfafa, that is stock hogs, and they can be kept growing the summer through without any other food. East Oregonian: J. W.

Wben Weston & Bean leave for tbe mountains again this spring they expect to pall np tbe well and take other precautions to prevent being cleaned out entirely. Hon. C. M. Cartwright, of tbe a. S. & L. Co., was in Prineville Monday. Tho com pany of wbicb Mr. Cartwright is a member is one of the most tx tensive wool growers in tbe state, and of coarse be keeps well posted on matters of interest to the sheep industry. When asked by a reporter of the Review what the outlook for wool was this year, be said it was better than last season, owing to the fact that the large stocks on band at this time last year haye been worked up, aa well as tbe greater portion of tbe clip of 1892. Tbe recent cold weather in tbe east. be says, has caused a large demand for woolens; benoe the manufactured goods have been pretty well disposed of. For these reasons be anticipates prices will be m advance of what they were last year. He says the aheep belonging to tbe B. 8. & L. JBo. will be heavy and of good quality, whioh is true of tbe majority of tbe sheep in the county. From Tuesday's Dally. Mr. J. Crofton, a merchant of Centerville, was in town yesterday. Mr. J.

To-morrow daylight and night will be of equal length twelve hours each. John Bolton and T. W. Glavey, of Dufur, .re registered at tbe Umatilla.Hoase to-day. Parties from Centerville inform us that the ground is too wet in that vicinity for plowing. The freaks of the weather clerk are so in explicable that the "oldest inhabitant" stands aghast, and prophesies the highest water since I00Z. Mrs Id J. Mayn died at her residence in tbia city last evening, after a week's illness. She was aged about 80 years. and leayea a husband and one orphaned child. A rery estimable lady, a ialtbiol wife and affectionate mother her death will be deplored by all those with whom she was acquainted. The rainy and disagreeable weather haa kept back many projected improvements. As soon as tbis becomes settled, the erection of yery many buildings will be begun. A case of forcible entry and trespass was tried before Justice Schutx this morning, and the defendant discharged from custody. There was not sufficient evidence to hold bim for the offense. Mr. Paul Exeft, and Mr. G. W. Runyan were passengers on the afternoon train for Hood Kiver. They go for the purpose of attending the public meeting held under the auspices of the Workmen this evening- Mr. A. Gebres is now- manufacturing a superior article of aarsapsnlla, soda water and mineral water. Anyone desiring a drink that fizzes without being intoxicating should qaaff these beverages and be exhil arated. The cistern at the intersection of Third and Laaghlin streets was repaired yester day, and is now in a good condition. It leaked badly, and the leak has been plugged and it now retains all the water that , flows in. The project is being considered of plac ing the old fire bell, which now lies on the ground occupied by tbe old engine house before the fire ot September, 1891, on the top of the Mt. Hood hose house on the bluff. The loog continuance of the stormy and disagreeable weather will cause great loss among flocks in Eastern Oregon. In - many portions feed bas given out and cat tle turned on the hills are in no con dition to gain a sustenance from the mea gre grass which is appearing aboye the : ground. Oregon bas five live ex-governors, and, ' strange as it may seem tor a Republican state, they are all Democrats bat one Hon. Z. F. Moody, of Salem. The Democrats are Hon. L. F. Grover, of Portland; Hon. W. W. Thayer, of Poitland; Hon. John Wbiteaker, of Eugene; and Hon. S. F. Chadwick, of Salem. Several petitions have been presented for signatures in this city by jpplioauts for different positions iu tue gift ol the admin istration. As tney va all "good boys" and perhaps entitled to some consideration from the Demooratio party' we will say in the language of an old saw: "May they all go in and may tbe best man win, tnr they are all from tbe happy tand of Canaan."

The loss ot stock in the vicinity of Msy ville, Gilliam oonoty baa been v ry small, witb the exception of Mr. Graham's loss, which has been very heavy. Twelve head of his cattle were smothered in one night from a stack of straw falling on them while tbey were feeding. Tbe cattle were wesk. and having quite a long distance to travel very day for water no doubt cauied many to succumb. The states of Oregon aud Washington eaoh have over 100,000 milch cows, or 208, 000 in all. ' If tbis number of cows were even np to the average sUnJard of cows fur the whole of th United State they would supply all tbe butter, oheeae and milk re quired for home consumption. As it is the greater part of the cheeaa and a very Urge ' amount of the butter consumed in the two , state is ioiorted from other states.

A California farmer living near Sacra mento was tecently swindled out of three thousand dollars by tbe gold brick devioe. He lodged a complaint with tbe polio but that did not help matters in the least. It does seem aa though the gold brick bad . played so many games, that it should have become a chestnut and musty enough to be known by every one, bnt it is still bitten at as readily as of old. It is awful bow ti.e American people do like to be bombugged. Miss Lizzie McNea?, a missionary from Africa, says the ealem Statesman, who bas been travelling in this country with a lit tle civilized African girl, Dianna, aged about 7 years, passed through this city yesterday en route for tbe Dark Conti nent Miss McNeal lectured in this city sometime ago and has many friends here.

Bulletin: The Chinese Six Com panies are said to have mulcted their conn- try men to the amount of $60,000 to pay fur legal assistance in testing the constitution- abty of th Geary act. It is a fat fee, for ' which good legal talent oonld be hired to ' put every possible obstaole in the way of executing the law of the land. While it is possible that the supreme court might find against the imprisonment-at-hard-labor clause of tbe bill there is little doubt that the main point, that of deportation, will be upheld. TheRoseburg Plaindealer says: Word was received in this city that General M. B. Holmes had been robbed of fS00. . Particulars are meagre, but it has been the general belief that the general has had considerable money buried on his farm la the Camas valley, and that some person has fouad It ani appropriated the same to his own use. Other are of the opinion that the loss is purely an Imag inary one. as he recently sold much of bis property in order to satisfy a Judgment against him arising out of the failure ot W.F Owens. 1 The cruel, heartless editor of the Hal sey New perpetrates the following, and still lives and prospers in that community : "Everybody in Halsey yesterday were go ing their way, when ot a sudden a panic seemed to reign on the streets. Men were cursing, guns were fired, and women, ig norant of the fact, began to faint. Had it not been for the presence in mind ot one of our citizens, who shouted that it was nothing but a lady in a hoop skirt, ne doubt blood would have been shed. Tbe above is from our city correspondent, who came home from Albany in a 'paz- . tied' condition. We do not doubt the above, but we have little faith in the writer." Fossil Journal: Mrs. Jos. Frlzzell, of Lost Yalley, met with a bad accident while riding from home to D. H. Smith's place on Thursday. It appears that her horse stumbled on the slippery hillside, and she was unseated, falling backward uphill on her right shoulder. Tbe arm was broken midway between the shoulder and elbow. The accident took place near Ed Smith's house, and she was able to make her way thither. D. H. Smith, not withstanding his years, made a very fast ride to town immediately on learning of the mishap, and Dr. Howard retained -with him Thursday evening and set the fractured arm. It was a clean break, and the patient is doing nicely. A man was arrested Sunday niht by U. S. Deputy Marshal Jameson for sailing liquor to Indiana, and eonfined in the oounty jail.
