Many years ago he was a resident of The Dalles, and his time was taken np shaking hands wilh old friends The editor of the Herald was sicfc last week, and some ot the citizens of Ante lope helped him get out the issue.

The baseball champions have organized - a club at Antelope by electing C. V. Lane president, W. H. Hilvertooth secretary and treasurer and .

An alarm on the fire bell brought the de partment to the scene of an' incipient blaze on a building on Second street, between Court and Union, occupied by Mr. F. Lemke, about 1 o'clock this afternoon. The flames bad started in the roof, but a well directed stream from a fire plug soon put it out. There waa considerable da mage done to the roof and also to the interior, and a disastrous conflagration would have hap pened under other conditions, i Miss Day, wbot' is making the trip from Portland, Oregon, to different portions of the United States and Mexico, has arrived in Washington City, shook hands with President Cleveland, sat beside the vice - president, and enjoyed other privileges not accorded to ordinary mortals. She ' will oootinue on her route, talk to . President Diaz, of Mexito, exchange courtesies with the senorites of the Aztec capital, and re tarn borne the heroine of to hoar. The clerk of the weather has not been "settled in his mind" in his dealings witb the Antelope people during the: past few days, and the Herald says: "It old man Pague Had been in this neighborhood for the past two weeks he would bave had a great old time keeping track ot the weather. It has snowed nearly every night for the past ten days and melts away again the next day, cither by rain or the hot sud. Monday night last snow fell to the depth ot three inches." The committee appointed to receive the commission to select the site for the in sane asylum have prepared a report and will make a good showing. The Dalles, undoubtedly, has the best location for the institution, with the advantaees of cheap transportation, well supplied with wood and water and rich, agricultural land. Our facilities will be fully set forth, and nothing lett undone to create a favorable impression on the governor and secretary of state. They will visit The Dalles one day next week. inrintr tn thA nnlft damn nruat hoF nro vailing during the present lambing season it is expected that more dry ewes will be put on the market this spring than for some time, says the Antelope Herald, and therefore the number of sheep in this sec tion during the next year will be some what diminished. The yield of wool this .season will be heavy, and from present indications it will be worth from 13 to 16 cents. The decrease in sheep during the next year will not mate ially effect the interests of sheepmen, inasmuch as the abundance of grass wbich is bound to follow a hard winter like this one has been, will offset any losses which might have been sustained. We predict a pros perous year for sheep raisers in Oregon. - Antelope Herald: Mr. Lytle and an other gentlemen had a dangerous experi ence down on the Deschutes last Monday. While returning from The - Dalles with a tiig load ot freight for the Hay Creek merchandise store, the horses scared at some object and threw both wagons down over a steep embankment with the wheels flying in the air. The two horses on the lead broke loose and were not in the mash-np. The wneelers did not get much hurt but they made a miraculous escape. Tho men jumped off and were not hurt, but the wagons were pretty badly demor alized, also some of the freight. This is very dangerous grade and the law houkl provide for some protection foi travelers The Oregon educational exhibit for the world's lair, says the Telegram of Saturday, waa started on ita journey to Chicago this morning, and Superintendent Pratt heaved a sigh of relief as he watched from the Union depot the train disappear around Albioa. . He baa been busily engaged for several weeks in preparing this exhibit, and fcas gathered together an exhibit that will qual any of a similar kind in the union. It consists of samples of work "too numerous to mention," as prepared bv the public school children throughout the state, among which will be mentioned maps, charts, clay models, botanical specimens, relief maps in lay, and boned volumes of written work. Several cases of mounted Oregon game birds, furnished by State Superintendent AdcElroy, will accompany the exhibit. Miss Bella Ogg, of Pendleton, who was married Sunday night to Thomas Orby White and decamped the next day, came back to Pendleton on Thursday's train. Her story was that another girl, Julia Xatimer, induced her to run away from ft V" From Thursday's Dally. , Last night a bountiful shower of rain fell, which wet the ground very thoroughly. Leaves on our forest and shade trees are beginning to bud, and flowers in gardens are in bloom. Mr. Kennedy's little steamer bss been regular I v entered at the port of Portland, and the cratt is now properly "in it." Mr. Louis Kuhn, the manager of the Northwest fonndry which employed convict labor at Salem, died in Portland yesterday. Mrs. E. J. Young, who has been visiting relatives and friends in this city during the week, returned to. ber home in Portland this morning. Miss Gertrude French, who has been spending several davs with her parents in this city, lett for Portland to-day to con tinue her medical studies. Mr. Patrick Pagan, the merchant tailor has removed his establishment to the corner of Third and Federal streets, where he will be delighted to meet all his old patrons, Alexander D. Barnard, a respected resi dent of Fox Valley, Grant county, died March 18th He waa stricken with paraly sis on the 14th, and only survived four days. ( Sam Simpson, in the Astoria Budget, says if the Calitornia legislature desires to go to some place where it will not be subject to Criticism it must hold its sessions in a grave yard. ' Democratic candidates for the postoffice in this city appear to be increasing daily. Only one Can seen e the position, and who this fortunate individual will be is bard to determine. ' - - The Walla Walla Statesman claims that there is only one De crat in the peniten tiary. The editor evidently has Heea read ing Baron Maunchausen's tales, and is prey iog himielf a worthy competitor. The outlook for the mines in Baker conn ty were never better than during the pres ent season. During the winter there has been a bountiful fail of snow, and this in sures water for mining purposes. The Dalles literary club met last evening at the residence of Mr. J. L. Story. It was well attended by yonog ladies, and the evenings entertainment consisted ot ex tracts Irom William Unllen Bryant. The meeting last nigbt at the court house was not largely attended, because of the in clemency of the weather. ' Our people' are not accustomed to the rain, and when it falls know enough to keep in out of the wet. Yesterday morning a fire in Portland caused damage to the amount of $2000 Adam Wentz, a truckman, belonging to No. 1 hook and ladder company, was severely injured by filling from the roof of the building. v . The candidates fromOregon, with Wash ington to. hear from, for collector of inter nal reverrue are: Henry Blackmao, of Hepp ner: W. L Weathered, ot Portlar d; Chas. Nickel), of Jacbsonvil e; A. H Brown, of Baker Citv: J.-L Soerrv. of Portland Ihey are last, picking np gold oat in Josephine county. One nugget was fonnd containing $375. It has been on exhibition n the bank at Grant's Pass for several days. Laat Friday another was found in the same gulch containing $220. If this keeps up Josephine county will bo famous. A bill was introduced in the Minnesota islature requiring that Chinamen should wear tbeir shirts inside their pants. - This is equal to the crinoline bill of one or two states Years ago a Mr. Aonis, now a resident of Lane county introduced a bill in the state legislature requiring all celestials making Oregon a residence to forfeit their queues. .. Congressman Ellis announces that about the middle of April a competitive examina tion for the cadetship to West Point, says the Heppnef Gazette, from this district, will be held at The Dalles. . All candidates will be-notified in time to be in readiness. Young man, brighter? up and attend. - The opportunity ia only presented to those be tween the ages of 17 sod 22. " . The young Baker City clerk, who an swered the correspondence 'of the "blonde young lassie" through the columns of the Heartland Hand in Chicago, instead of be ing given notoriety through the press, should keep quiet at home uutil he learns how to behave himself. The young lady is determined to make him suffer for his folly, and ber journey out west she intends to net her good profits. Heppner Gazette: Gov. Sylvester Pen- noyer was asked while here what he thought of an extra session to remedy the defects of the new assessment law as regards taxes for schools and cities for the present year. He said inasmuch as it had become a law in an ordinary forty-day session, that the people must stand it, as one session of Oregon's solons every two years, he considered suffi cient tor the taxpayers to pay tor. - The recent death of Judge Matthew P. Deady leaves a vacancy in the regency of the state university: Judge Walton, , of Eugene, has been appointed a regent to fill the unexpired term. The Eugene papers speak in high terms ot praise of Judge V alton. He has heen a true and steadfast friend of the state university ever since its location at Eugene. Judge Walton is at present secretary of the boird, and for sev eral years be served as regent. Morrow county again offers a bounty of ' 2 cents each for squirrel scalps. Quite a slaughter in the squirrel family was made in that buncbgrass country last year, and no doubt as bitter a war will be waged against I the four-footed pests this year.1 Could not Wasco county judiciously help in the exter- j mination of these orop-destroyers by offer ing a small bounty? The farmers would surely appreciate the favor and do their duty as long as poison is obtainable. The following figures are taken from a re port of the director ot the mint tor 1892: Production of silver from the mines of silver totes. $58,000,000; commercial value, $50.. 000.000; coin value in silver, $74,989,900; loss to the silver producing states through the lack of free coinage, $24,239,9U0 . These figures are correct. . Carefully balance these figures and see if yoor nat iral conclusion is not, but that free coinage of silver would be a damage to the country as well as the people. . A hobo, drunk and disorderly, waa ar rested last night, and, when . interviewed thia morning, said he came from Seattle, Wash., to work on the locks at the Cas cades.' Not finding employment he became discouraged, came to The Dalles and at tempted to drown his disappointment in the flowing bowl. This did not satisfy the an alytical mind of the recorder, and a fine waa imposed. He now inhales the zephyrs through iron bars, and the mundane sphere does not echo to the tread of his lordly step. Pendleton Tribune: Cal Hale, who has been incarcerated in the jail at Elleosburgb, Wash., for several months, charged with the robbery of the bank at Roslyn laat sum mer, and who was recently discharged from custody, his case being dismissed by the state, wss in the city yesterday evening on his way home to Gilliam county. Cal looks considerably careworn, and has blood in his eye for Detective Sullivan and bis gang, to whom be lays all the blame for bis trouble and expense in the trying ordeal he has just passed through. Bro. Patterson, of the Heppner Gaiette, forgetting his esrly Sunday School training, perpetrates the following: "Dick Neville, the popular barkeeper, had a wonderful dream a few nights ogo. In the mysteries of dreamland be died, and like all good men went direct to heaven. It seemed that they were in need of a dispenser of liquid concoc tions op there and he immediately got em ployment, but while the inhabitants were good patrons thereof, they invariably flitted away without putting np a cent, and this so disgusted Pick that he threw np the job with about forty unwiped glasses on the bar and not a "bean" in the till, in which con dition Dick woke up to find that he was yet, fortunat-ly, in a country where people paid for what they got, occasionally, at least." The uniod whist club held its weekly meetings last evening at Fraternity hall, and were entertained by Dr. and Mrs Rinehart. By reasoi. of many members be' ing absent, invitations were extended to other persons to be present, so as to till the tables. The hours were spent very delight' fully by all, and great interest centered around the games. Mrs. F. Houghton won the first prize, and the contest for the booby was a tie between Mrs. x. a. Huntington and Judge Blakeley, the latter winning when lots were drawn. The Dalles Chronicle in an editorial en deavors to cheer up the hearts of the produc ers of the Inland Empire in regard to the completion of the Cascade locks by citing the tact that the opening or me canal across the famous Isthmus of Corinth is set for June next. This work dates back to the time of Alexander the Great, so there is yet hope the locks will be finished in about 2000 years hence. WaUa Walla Statesman. Thia is nnkind on the part of our Washing ton cotemporary, for our neighbor hasn't published an editorial for months. Most men in misfortune have the sympa thy of the public; but L. S. Skinner, the Polk county farmer buncoed out of $2500, is generally treated as deserving the loss for being so green. In these enlightened days such men deserve haying a guardian. VV ill the Salem papers please asertain whether Skinner takes a newspaper? Albany Demo crat. A Journal reporter has ascertained that Mr. Skinner took no newspaper. A religious journal came to his address, but of course dealing largely witn me worm id come, cave him no pointers on the ways of the wily bunco steerer. Salem Journal. There are many descriptions of frauds in this country attempting to make a living by not working. The latest ia a pretended deaf mute by the name of T. Cunningham, who came to erief in bugene. and is now in ail. When be went to residences, says the Guard, and found the ladies at borne alone. who did not contiibute readily, be became threatening and insulting. At one place he talked readily and abused the ladies He was arrested Saturday by Marshal Eastland, and was given a trial before Recorder Dorris, who found him guilty and sentenced him to six days imprisonment in the city jal. Walla WaUa Journal: Mr W.S.Gilliam, the well-known farmer ot Dixie, met with a painful accident on bis farm Tuesday after- noon. He was engaged in seeding, when some of the machinery of the seeder became out of order. He stopped bis team and was making the necessary repairs when the horses started up, and in reachinf for the reins to stop them, Mr. Gilliam's left hand was caught between the cogs. The flesh on the middle finger was badly lacerated and the bone crushed. He was brought to the city and was taken to the office of Or. Clowe, who found it necessary to amputate the finger at the second loinu The man who can turn1 off tifty-three- vear old beet steers weighing louu pouoaa, each vear, will make more money than his neighbor who turns off 200 head of three- vear-olds weighing 11UU pouuds and be ac comolishes it with a good deal less trouble and expense. The Dalles Chronicle. Ex cuse us from having to tackle any fifty three-old steer. They may be profitable for boarding bouses. Portland Dispatch. For the benefit ot our cotemporary we would state that the cattle on our bunch-grass hills are not titty-three years old. They are young and furnish juicy steaks. This was simply one of the many "typographical errors" (?) of which our evening cotemporary is guilty. tally injured by colliding with a rock in the stream. Delirium tremens was the caur.e. and for a long time Klein had been addicted to the excessive use of alcoholic stimulants. He has a brother in Michigan reputed to be worth $250,000, but has no relatives living on the coast. Asbestos was discovered at a very remote period of history. It was known to the Greeks in the time of Herodotus, and Pom peiiana left samples of it entombed in melted lava. In 1850 experiments were systemati cally made in Italy as to its fire-resisting properties. It is now used in the manu facture of cement, rubber cloth, felt, twine. yarns, roobng, rope, mats, stove linings, boards, tubes, etc. It is fo ind in nearly every part of the globe, including several localities in our own state of Oregon. East Oreaonian: A horse desler named William Wright, from Livingstone, Mon tana, was in Pendleton Wednesday evening. Mr. Wright's mission is to obtain prices on horses with the idea in view of shipping them "across the pond for the use .f the German army. About 200 head are wanted. Ihey are intended for light cavalry nse, and must be fall of life and vigor, and weigh between 850 and 900 pounds. A German. count, now at Livingstone, contemplates making the shipment, and Mr. Wright comes in his interests. The gentleman left on the night train for the Heppner neigh borhood. Wsbco News: The Dalles Chronicle says in a recent issne that a large 4-story brick hotel will soon be built in The Dalles, and in an article regarding it, speaks rather dis paragingly of the present hotel accommoda tions ot that city. A new hotel may be a benefit to the city, but no matter how many hotels The Dalles may have, they cannot decrease the popularity of the old Umacilla House. Col. Sinnott is an old-timer, and keeps the most pleasant and home like house in the northwest. No matter how much opposition it may have, the Umatilla will continue, as in the past, to be the head quarters for the traveling public. Mr. R. H. Menefee, an old resident of Fifteen Mile, came in town to-day. He ar- ived at The Dalles in 1852, after he had crossed the plains from the east. Since 1855 he has resided in this vicinity, and has only been - away three times. When he first reached this place he says there were only two buildings where the city now stands, one the store of the Hudson Bay Co. and the other a double house built of logs and used as a hotel. There were at that time soldiers stationed at the old garrison, in consequence ot the Uyuse war, wmcn bad la-t broken out. lbe next time, ne came to The Dalles was soon after Major Borland, at the Simcoe agency, had been killed by the Indians, n 1S55. Since that time be has lived on his farm near Dufur. Last summer a voung Japanese called at the office, inquiring for work. He stopped around the citv a few days, and bad not been heard of since until yesterday when we reteiyed the following letter, inclosed with a fine photographic yiew of the old temple: This is a picture of the Kinkakuji (means Golden Temple) the model of which Japanese were going to build in the' world's fair at Chicagqj but they could not do it, beccause the fair did not afford room enough tor it. This was built by a Shogun about 500 years ago, who is next to the emperors by name. but real king by power. He became to dis gust nnfaithful, treacherous world and re solved to inherit his power to his brother. He. therefore, built the temp'e, where be retired to and pretended to take up the habit of Buddha's priest; as he was not wise, he built it luxuriously as much as he can at the utmost of his influence. Every part of it was so entirely covered by gold, that it was called by the name, but the time worn out it already; rains and snows of many years washed off the gold from its roofs; many steps having visited there scraped the color from floor. On these days, we can recognize some yellowish colors at the corners of roofs, floors, walls, and ceilings. Time did not take mercilessly off the beauty of the temple, bat he gave it to the garden, the beauty and taste of which in creased far more than pld time. Generally Japanese take a great care of gardens. They spend more money to gardens than ouses sometimes, so that house only in 'Japan does not make the whole of a build ing; it must always be house and garden. The fair could not give room enough for the garden's model. Tree3 and stones in the garden were brought from every part of Japan; his flattering subjects did not scruple to choice the best of the time. . Many grand trees are solemnly standing yet, noble stones wearing some kind of robe, and a small running streams is singing a little song, but tbeir owner was gone very tar and they have no body now to pet them; they used to bear merry music at olden time, but no body does not let them enjoy their ears at present.except their old friends birds. Aha, time, cruel time. ' From Friday's Daily. To-day is Good Friday. Our merchants are receiving flue stocks of spring goods. Col. J. B. Crossen left on the train this morning for Portland. Ice Cream, Cream Sodas, Soda Water, etc., at Columbia Candy Factory. Ex Gov. Moody was a passenger for Sa lem on the delayed train this mopoing. Mr. J. A. Guliiford, one of the pioneer farmers of Fifteen Mile creek, is in town today. Next Sunday will be Easter, and the dif ferent churches will be properly decorated for this festival. There was light flurry of snow on the Klickitat hiils last night. Wanton winter still linger, etc. - Mr. D VauHorn, the piano tuner, is the city, and orders left at either of the music stores will receive prompt attention. Goods for the interior are arriving at the warehouses, and these will be sent to their destination as soon as the roads are in the ndition for freighting. There will be services st the CatLolic hurch at Kingsley Saturday, April 8tb, at 8 o'clock ia the morning, and on Sunday, April 9th, at the usual boor. ' ; Whether crime is in an increasing condi tion in our nation or not, the fact that ther are over 100,000 inmates of penitentiaries and jails shows that mischief is not asleep. The Mora Observer says that Judge Deady "died in Portland at the advanced age or eighty-nine years." This makes the judge twenty years older than the datb of his birth would. Mr. C Jchmidt, at the Bed Front gro cery, has a very complete stock of goods, consisting of everything needed in the culinary department. His groceries are fresh irom the manufacturers and of the best quality. - - . Grand Padisha Zaleuka Ottoioanshe con ferred the Orient on several candidates, in Fraternity ball.after the Workmen closed their meeting last night. The solemn and impressive ceremonies were witnessed by a large number of princes of this degree. Exchange: Every country editor is acquainted with the fellow who takes pipers as lung as he can get them on credit and then attempts to pay for them bv writing on a postal card, "Stop my paper." His mean ness would make Judas Iscariot ashamed to be in his company. All old residents feel certain that the June freshet will cause the Columbia to overflow its banks considerably. There is sufficient snow in the mountains to cause as high watvr as was.ia 1876, and some expect the mark spoken of by Mr Crate in 1844 to be reached the bluff south of the Methodist church. - Mr. Alex. McDonald, direct from Scot land, arrived in the city to-dav. His brother has a farm on the Deschutes, and Alex came to tms ceunty at his solicitation to make his home witb us. We always extend a welcome to Scotch thrift and industry, and cannot have too many immigrants from that country. .. The west-bound passenger train did not arrive in the city until halt-past 7 o'clock this moroing. it was due at 4:10 yester day afternoon, and No. I, due at 3:10 this morning, was abandoned to day. The delay was caused by a bridge being washed out east of Hantiogton, which it will take some days to repair. :!': The large irrigation wheel put in by Dr. N- G Blalock, at his extensive frmt form near Blalock station, has proved a success. The water was raised to an elevation of 60 feet and then distributed by pipes. With the current of the river running at the rate of only 2 miles an boor, the wheel raised 168 gallons of water per minute. , . Mr. Neil McLeod, of Grant, came down ou the morning train. He says the milling and distilling company are running a full force of men, and are working their machinery niuht and day. They have sunk a well forty feet deep, and sixteen by forty feet. This furnishes a good supply of water for distilling purposes. The careless handling of firearms is con stantly furnishing subjects for coroner's in quests, and the latest item of this kind comes from Centralis, Wash., yesterday, when Willie Winkler was killed by his cousin. These boys were playing soldier, nd in trying to extract a shell a Winches ter rifle waa discharged, and young Wink ler was killed instantly. At Hot Springs, near Tacoma, Lndwig A.

The Dalles, March 31, 1893. Editor Tuiks-Mountaiskbr; In the matter of the city's revenue from taxation for this year, it seems- affairs are drifting along so as to leave us to pay a double tax with interest added next year. Now my idea is, for the council to at once appoint an assessor and makevtbelevy; f r if you ait to take it froia the county roll you will get no taxes this year. As to be authority there should be no question but what we stand as before, for the new law makes it obligatory to make all levies from county rolls and repeal all laws in conflict. This cannot effect anything but general laws and not city charters, unless specially mentioned. Our charter was pre vious to the passage ot this act, and could not effect it unless by direct mention. Take for instance, the liquor ' license act, which was of general application. It did not effect chartered cities who had charters i-aued previous to the act, . as they are special acts and we do -not waot to pay taxes for two years at one time and interest added, nor would the high for the outside world. rate look well Action. Terrible Suffering. From the Corvallis Times is gleaned a tale of suffering and endurance of a man named James Webber, who, while in the woods a fw days since in the vicinity of Alsea, was crushed to the earth by a falling stump. His leg was broken by the tree, and with only ono hand the other bad been amputated some time since he man aged to dig himself out with a spade after three hours' unoeasmg efforts, and crawled to bis cabin a hundred yards distant: He could not get in bis bed; but pulled the mattress and lay upon it until removed. In this position, Buffering the most excruciating pain from his broken limb and witb nothing to eat but raw eggs, he remained from Sun day until the following Wednesday even ing, when two neighbors fortunately called, and carried him in a litter a distance of five miles. A doctor was sent for, and reached the sufferer last Friday morning, when the fractured limb was set, and the patient rested easily. The sufferings of Mr. Web ber during all this time' can better be im agined than described. ' Letters Advertised.

From reminiscenses published in the Salem Statesman we learn the following regarding early steamboating on the Co lumbia, on what is known as the middle and upper river: , In 1SC3 ihe People's . Transportation Company was formed, and soon thereafter built three boats to run on the-Columbia the E. D. Baher, from Portland to the Cas cades; the Iris, from there to The Dalles; and the Cayuse, above The Dalles to Lew iston, Idaho. Stephen Coffin was presi dent of the company, Mr. Kingsley vice president, and DuviJ and Asa McCully and E. N. Coos directors. There were stockholders in Eugene, Albany, Salem, Portland, and at most all the points on the two rivers reached by the boats 65 stockholders in all. David McCully had moved to Salem in 1858. The old Oregon Steam Navigation Company was giving the People's Company very stiff opposi -tion on the two rivers, and the latter was in debt, so the secretary reported, some. $.jO,000. Asa and David McCully, E. N. Cooke "and Mr. Church, of Salem, pro posed to raise $.50,000, pay off the debts and take a mortgage- on the company's property. This was readily accepted, but the debts were found to be about $65,000, and, had these four backers realized this, ' they would not have undertaken the ven ture. In about three weeks the late W. S. ladd called on David McCully at the company's office and proposed some deal whereby the People's Company and the O. S. N. Co. would not be cutting one an other's throats, as the latter company was also losing money and in debt. Ihe re sult was that in June, 1863, they (the Peo ple's) traded the Iris and the Cayuse for the Onward and two other ot the O. S. N's Willamette boats, and got $10,000 to boot. ' ' , Death of Mr. J. 0. MoFarland. A telegram was received yesterday by Mr. W. H. Moody, announcing the. death ot his father-in-law Mr. J. C. McFar land in Los Angeles, Calif., that morn ing. His death was quite1 sudden, al though he had been in poor health for many years ; but it was not expected that he would pass away so quickly. Mr. McA Farland was a pioneer resident ot The Dalles, having first settlei in this city in 1352. t For a time he engaged in mercan tile pursuits, afterwards was agent of the Northwestern stage line, then in, the em ploy of the O. S. N, and O. R. & N- com pinies, but of late years has traveled for the benefit of his health. He was aged about 60 years, and leaves a widow and a family of sons and daughters all grown to . maturity among . whom are Mrs. Moody,' of this city, wife of Mr. W. H. Moody, son of Ex-Gov. Moody; Mrs. W. R. Abrams and Mrs. E. C. Pnce, of EI lensburgh,. Wash.; Mr. Homer McFar land and Mr. Frank McFarland, of Hepp ner, Ore., and Mrs. McEwan, wife of Rev. W. L. McEwan, of Portland. His aged mother, wife and son FranK were with him at the time ot his demise. Mr. E. B. McFarland, of Portland, Mr. W. A. Mc Farland, of Seattle, Wash., and Mr. ChajS. McFarland, of White salmon, Wash., are his brothers. Mr. McFarland was an ex emplary and highly respected citizen, and his family will receive the sympathy of this community with whom he lived for many years in their sad bereavement ' v Burdette Wolf. A dispatch- from Colfax, says that Ed. Bill, the Garfield murderer, who was re cently recaptured and lodged in jail, in his wanderings met Burdette Wolf, and thus describes the meeting: ' . "In his efforts to escape Hill pushed into the mountains out of the range of civiliza tion. He had a supply of food, and being heavily armed, waa prepared to make a long journey. He made a bed of brush some dis tance from- the trail about sundown, when bis alert ears heard the crackling of brush only a few yards away. His raspicions wtrj aroused, and he crouched down and waited. Suddenly be was covered by a pistol in the hands of a man who had a look of wildness in bis eyes.. Hill made the stranger explain his action, and it was done in a voice that had desperation in it. When Hill assured him that he was on nobody's tra.il and a fugitive himself, the two sat dowu together and tolly rested on the same brush bed. The two were travelling in opposite directions. The wild-eyed stranger of the mountains was Burdette Wolf, who was fleeing from the bloodhounds of the law. He was the girl murderer of Multnomah county, Oregon Hill and Wolf, fugitives both, hunted as murderers, one going sooth the other north, but in their flight they camped one night together in the wilderness near Grant's Pass. It was a desperate in troduction. Each had a rewaid on his bead, but tbey ere secure in each other's com pany. They parted in the early morning lor the first and last time." injury in consequence of the defective and dangerous character ot su:h road or bridge, shall be entitled to recover compensatory damages for such loss or damage from the county in which the damage occurred Damages may be recovered by an action in the circuit court or in a justice court if the amount of damages sued for be less than 8IUUU.

Nothing annoyed the great chemist so much as being mistaken for the novelist On one occasion a lion hunting English lady, after prais ing him in the most effusive lan guage, and observing that she knew every line of his writings, from "Monte Cristo" to "Mousquetaires," added, "I hope you will allow me to send you a card for my next soiree." "Madame, I am in no way connect ed with the writer you allude to," said the savant, with a cold diRfain that no asinine, snub proof coat of mail could resist. "Oh, I thought you were the great Mr. Dumas," ex claimed the bewildered lady. Mrs. Crosse. They Differ In Details. The bushranger of Australia and our own western road agent have objects and methods of business in the main identical, but they differ in minor details and in their distinctive slang. The unfortunate traveler who meets a western road agent is "held tip." His experience with an Aus tralian bushranger would be practi cally similar, except that he would be "bailed up," while if he met one of the craft in New Zealand he would be "stuck up."
