'V; The Times-Mountaineer 8ATURDAV .....AUGUST 26. I83 ITFMS IN BRIEF From Wednesday's Ballv. Oar dealer are shipping carloads of fruit east daily. Mrs. W. S. Mvere left for the lacks on the boat this morning. Mr. Ed. M. Wineate returned to 'ol- llns' Landing this morning. Dr Charles Adains. the merchant of Camas Prairie, is in the city. . Rer. W. O. Curtis was a passenger this o. ning on the boat for Port'and. Mr. A. Scherneckau. of Astoria, baa been in the city for a few days past. Mr. James Baldwin, of Portland, re turned this morning after a short visit to friends tn this city. Mr. Jos. Nitschke returned last evening from a visit to his family, wo are in camp near Collins' Landing. This month is usually dull, because farmers are busy saving their crops and have no time to come to t- wn. The weather is very favorable for har vesting, and our farmers are "making bay and cutting grain while the sun shines. ' . Th.- Union Pacific has reduced fares to visitor to the firemen s convention to e held in this city to one and one-fifth rate for tbe round trip. The yield of grain in Umatilla county is reported to be about thirty bushels to the acre. This would be encouraging -o farmers if they could realize a tair price. Fish wheels will remain idle until the 10th of next month, when the season will again open; but the fall run of salmon is always very light on the upper Columbia. Rev. John Whisler left this morning for Albany, where he will speud one day in attendance on the Oregon Conference of the Methodist church. He will return in time to hold saryices stand y morning andeyenlng. Prank Clifford, an aeronaut, was killed at Nnoqualmie, Wash., Sunday, in at tempting to juiup over the falls in a par achute. Hk dropped 300 leet and was daabed against the rocks and crushed be yond recognition." Mr Clark, who was formerly justice of the peace in this city for East -lalles pre cinct, but now connected with tbe Ce mawa Indian school near oalem, arrived on the boat last evening and will spend a short vacation in the city. Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Wiley and family of t ascade Locks, arrived in tbe city last night. Mrs Wiley and children went east on a visit to the world's tair at Chi cago and to relatives and friends in Zanesville, Ohio, and Mr. Wiley returned to tne IjOcks in is morning. The remains of Mrs. Tappan, tbe wife of, the purser of the ill-fated steamer An mie Faxon, pasted through Walla Walla Mondty evening on tbe Uot n Pacific passenger train, says tbe Journal Tbey were accompanied by Mr. Tappan, who Kill take the body to Boston tor inter ment. Farmers in tbe northwest will store their wheat for a while at least. It is tbe general opinion that when confidence is restored tbe prices of all products will raife. If congress would do -omeibing on tne questions on wnicn action was ex peeled at this special session money would be much easier. Cottiogham was on one of his lampagea last night, and we are informed slashed tbe coat of a bartender in a very savage manner, Fortunately the knife did nut enter the body of the victim, and no eencjpa injury resulted. He waa arrested by the marshal and placed in tbe city jail. The recorder, after bearing the facts iu the case. enten- eil him to imprisonment for tbirtytlays for being drank and di orderly on the streets. A report was brought here Thursday, says the Harney Tunes, that a number of Lorses had been stolen near Drewsey re cently and driven out of the country, and implicating some prominent young men over there. A party of Drewsey's cilia ns were said to be in 'pursu t, and if tbe re port is authentic we will give full partic ulars next week. But wu hope, for tbe good of the young men named, that tbe report is groundless. There was no inquest held upon tbe bodies of those wbo met death in tbe An nie Faxon disaster SpeakiDg of this mat ter the Coltax Commoner says: "The coro ner of Garfield county, whose duty a was to bold an inquest over the bodies ot the dead victims of tnat frightful disaster, and it possible to astertain tbe causes which resulted in their death, never vis ited the scene, and no jar was ever snmnv-ned." - The immediate cause of the explosion will probably never be known. The committee of arrangements ap pointed to take charge of matters during the annual meetiug of the Volunteer Vet eran Firemen ot Oregon in this city has concluded to bold on Nept. 4. 1893, a fire man's parade of all tbe companies in at tendance, to giye a banquet to visitors, a hose race open to Oregon and. Washing ton companies to compete for prizes, and the exercises of tbe dav to conclude with a grand ball at the Umatilla House, to which all citizens of The Dalies are in vited. A party was given last evening at the residence ot Mrs J. L Thompson, in honor ot Miss Ann.e Wentz, who has been visiting in tbe city for some days, and who left for ber home in Portland this morning. The time was spent very enjoyable in games and other amuse ments. Those present were:. Misses An nie and Lena Thompson, Grace Glenn, Emma Osilund, Hilda Heck. Frank le Richmond, Annie Wentz, Hattie !ram, Sophia Nichols, Anna Rindlaub of Pori- land; bimoo Freiman, Earl Manders Leo Newman, Francis Irelend. Johnnie Fritz, .Jake JtcCown, tieo:ge Weigle, Georgie awKuch, Willie Frank, Adelben Moody and r"Bm Barrett. In these hard times when money is scarce and business Is depressed, it is not usual to see coin being thrown on tbe highway ; but such a phenomena hap pened this morning. A farmer came in town with some chickens for sale, and was approached by a Chinaman wbo asked the price. Tbe figure was named' when the Celestial walked away. In a short time be returned with tbe silver in his hand; but in the meantime tbe ' chickens had been sold to one of our merchants. This angered tbe Mongolian, and the air was blue in that vicinity with Celestial oaths, until in his violence of tem(ier he threw the money in the streets . and walked away very indignant. The scene partook of the ridiculous, and furn . ished considerable amusement to a crowd ot boys and Indians. Guard: Monday about noon W. R Mar quis, who lives about tour miles north of 4ugei.e, informed his family that he in ' tended killing bimselt as he was tired of living. He went to tbe barn and pro ceeded to swallow two ounces of aconite. A messenger was immediately sent here for Dr. J. W. Harris, wbo arrived on tbe scene at about 1:20 p. m.. jut. I in time to save tbe man's lite. He gave him a heavy emetic and the same acted imme diately and the man has recovered. It appears that the family has been having domestic troubles for several months, and that was tbe cause of tbe man's desperate T attempt. It will be remembered that a few weeks ago the gentleman's lie was charged with being iusane, but the medi cal examiners pronounced her menially all right. , V Salem Statesman: It has been informally decided to go ahead with the asylum and reform school additions, though not 60 fast as at first intended. Tbe bid of J . A. Harzel $30,098 for the adaliions to tbe reform school, and of H. C. Liebe 844 for the two cottages and the congre gated dining ball at the asylum, will be .accepted and the work will proceed at once. But tbe season is far advanced now that it is deemed best only to gather the bricks and lumber on the ground at the reform school this year and be ready to begin construction work early in tbe spring. Tbe lumber will be seasoned and there will be dry weather to finish . th'. building, which will be a material advantage. At the asylum frames will be erected and sheathed this fall and the rest of the work will be leit till spring. From Tbursdar'e Dally.

Salem Independent: Al Herren and wife ami his brother, Willard Herren, returned last night from tbe Elkhoro, where they bad been camu d for the past two or three weeks. The party succeeded ic killing three bears, one cinnamon, one brown and one black, this makea tour bears that were killed in that eighborbood inside of a week, aa Rubert Morehouse had killed one just before tbe boys killed theirs. A most ludicrous fcene was enacted at the Ett E-id yesterday by a runraway animal attempting to ree himself from a pack He ran through tbe streets, and wonld try to come in contact with every post ro rub off the burden. Individuals he treated in the aame manner, and people on the sidewalks kept dodging the cay use. The pack nnally. dropped on the ground, and the horse was perfectly docile. Marcus Vanbibher, a boy 16 vears old. son ot Mr. and Al s. W. H. Vanbibber. while riding a horse vesterday auemuon was thrown and fell on bis bead. Ic ia not known how the acciceot happened; but from marks on bis scalp and a cut on his chin it is supposed the hoy fell on a rock. He has beeo in a dzed condition ever since, and talks in an incoherent manner. A'lde from the u jnnea mentioned, no other bruises appear. Jr is expected in a day or -o tbe bov will be all right, aa soon as the system rallies from the effects of the shock. ,8am Eosley has recently put in a ma chine for saving fine gold, over on "the Noith Fork.

There is, by far, mor excitement this seaoo over the placers in Grant county thao any year since -active operatiouk ceased at Canyon City and Susan wile in tbe 'sixties. It may he some weeks before the harvest in this county will be tim-hed, and the in- licationa are that a better yield will be re- aiiz d than has been for several years past. Tbe price? are very low, caused by the gen eral depreciation of valu s, consequent upon I he. public dimroit prevailing. With the advent of the Democratic party in power tbe people expected a change in the polii-y 'A the ailminiatratiou of national iffiir. and this wrecked public confidence I will not be re established until something is done by the present congress to reassure he p ope that Democracy will not carry out the Chicago platfoim.

Evening Telegram: A mossbuck pnper up at llie JJiilea, called the Chronicle. printed under tne abadow of a closeu bank, is disgruntled with the Telegram for what it calla sensational publications concerni- g the Portland Savings bank.

We have no interest to . subserve ncept to do right by the public, aod we know of no higoer standard for a newapiper than to tell the truth at times an I under all circuro stances. We admit that toadyism is too common a frailty in jo rnalism, hence we can see how a paper ot the type of The Dailea Chronicle thinks it sensationalism to speak out plainly The really sensational part of this affair has not been touched on yet. rom Fiidav'a Daily. 8.

Such action would only adver tise the distress of the state, and would do more harm than good. We have heard complaints about some of our hoodlums stealing fruit from gardens, and in many instances destroying - fences and other obstacles to accomplish their de signs. This should be stopped, and they should be practically taught the difference between meum and tuum. The Dalles has a unsayory reputatioo iu tbis regard, aod it is time that a reformation was begun. Thomas Carter, aged about 25 years, hai.ged himself at Mu dock's sawmill near Meacham laat Siinrday night. Poor health and despondency were the probable causes.

The following is tbe weather report for the week ending Tuesday, August 22, from the central office in Portland: EARTKKX OBBUOM. Weather The weather of the past week was characterized by total absence of rainfall, cool nights and warm - sunny days. Tbe mean temperature ranged from 66 to 74 degress and the sunshine was about the average. iiroDS The wheat harvest in the Co lumbia river valley is about half over The yield so far is well up to the average. and farmers are pleased with the results. Thj trrain la nlnmn and firm. Grain is being 6tored in granaries to avoid selling at the present low prices, and secondly, ntrlnc tn scarcity of money grain sacks cannot be secured. The codlm moth has done injurious work lately, which is shown by the unusual number of falling pples. High winds, which oc urred on the 17ih. 18th and 19th. also shook off great quantities; many are Deingsnippeu to market. Dry weather has caused the grass on the range to fail, and, as a con sequence, stock are not doing well. The hav ctod' with exception ot the second crop of alfalfa, has been secured. S. M. Blandpord, Local Forecast Official Larceny From a Store. This forenoon Justice Schutz had an ex amination of a man named Thos. Gilbert f r larceny in a house. He was brought t town last night by two Indians wbo found him near Celilo carrying a sack lull of stolen goods Tbe facta, as we learn them. are that Mr. J. H. Bennett, wbo has a little store near tbe residence of Col. Fulton, at the mouth of the Deschutes, had been ab sent from hia place of business for several days, working in tbe harvest fields of Sher man county He returoed last Sunday and found the store broken open and a set ot harness, bridle, violin," gun,, pair of shoes. razor, hair clipper, shoe float, set of carpenter's tools and enough provis ions to last a man about two weeks stolen from the bouse. On Monday be told an old Indian of the larceny, de scribing the go ids to him, and asked him to keep a lookout for the thief if be went down the river in tbe direction of Celilo; aod he himself' would keep watch in the vicinity of Deschutes. Yesterday morning the Indian rode up to the hou-e,. and said be had located the man He had been stopping in a tcow (which bad been left in tbe river by the telephone builders about a quarter of a mile above ihe Deschutes), and hao been overhauled at Celilo and some of the identical articles found in a sack which he was carrying. Bennett . immediately started out and followed the feliow, and came in town last night to procure a war rant of arrest. The old Indian was aided by another aborigines by the name of Thomas Joseph,' and after a tussle bey took tne gun from Gilbert and stood guard over him. About 9 o'clock tbe Indians brought him in and delivered him to the authorities. The harness and carpenter's tools were missing, and it is supposed he disposed of these to some person. After the testimony for the state was beard he was given the privilege of making a statement. He said be wa- born in Syra cuse, N Y., and ' was an engineer. Four days ago be came to the scow and occupied it, and found the things there he carried away. He beard that a murder had been committed in that neighborhood, and thought it was time for him to leave. R - garding the harness and ca'penter's tools, he said 'nothing. The evidence of bis guiit was yery ttroog and tbe justice held him to answer the crime. ' Bo Extra Session. Salem Statesman. "What is the prospect for an extra ses sion of tbe legislature?" was asked of Gov. Pennoyer yesterday. . . "Well. I guess it may be safely stated that there.will be . no extra session,'' re sponded the governor. "The members don't seem to want it. I have received replies from most of them, and the great majority are opposed to an extra aesaioo ' to enact a special stay law. Su tbe matter -may be considered off for the present." The governor intimated that it was just as well to drop the proposition for an extra session of. the legislature, until . congress shall take some action on the money ques tion. Without free silver of full legal ten der he thinks a special stay law would be a means of torture ra'ber than a ur.eana of re. lief to the debtor who ia weary and heavy laden.' "Ir congress does not act," said the gov ernor, "ic may be necessary to call tbe leg islature to take some steps to provide work for honest and willing . laborers. It would, be poetic justice if we were to send all our unemployed poor people back east aud com pel those fellowa who have fastened upon the country the policy that it causing so much distress compel them to relieve that distress." And the old nursery rhyme about the "beggars coming from town.some in rags, some in tags and some in velvet gowns" came to the mind of the governor and he paraphra ed "I would aend some to. New York, some to Boston a od some to Buzzard's Bay." i ' While the -idea of an extra seinObn of the legislature is abandoned tor the present, it ia thought not to be beyond the range of posoibi ities before next spriog. It is not expected ,to be necessary, however. Hose Team Drills. - 1 s The drill of the team of tbe hose company attracts considerable interest evei-y eveiog, and the members comprise some o f oar best runners and most active young men. ; Last night, Mr. Geo.

Editor Tmaa-atooitTAUiBaa: Will you be so kind aa to a'low me space in your valuable paper to thank a gentle man at The Dalles for his kindness, and to let all know the kind of . people who live in that city. The person I mean is Mr. Aug ust Buchler, and tbe many kind acts he has extended to me are unlimited. Eight years ago I took the first refreshment at hia house tbat I ever indulged in at The Dalles, soon after arriving from tbe old country. Mr. Keller was there 'at the time, and be waa tbe brst man I spoke to in The Dalles. He also treated me more lice a brother than a atranger which I waa at that time. I Tbey haye continued to treat me ia the ' asms manner ever since. The aame can be said of my many friends at The Dalles. I desire at this time to thank Mr. Bach ler for the handsome present he sent me, which I received on June 27th last, jut' iaht veara to the dav when I arrived at The Dilles. Tbe present was one that more than aDDreciated. and I bvlive even a temperance man would have felt enthusias tio over such good fortune. It would have brought tears to his eyes aod gladness to his heart. I was in an out-of-the-way place, nearly a hundred miles from -your citv. and was lying down by tbe bocks 1 was herding, almost roasting in the burning sun. when the barking of my dog caused me to look around. A team came up the hill, and when it came where I was lying, the driver told told me he had a case in the wagon for me. I could not imagine what it oould be perhaps something tbat would send me quickly to that bourne from whence no traveler returns. A short prayer was offered, aod as soon as you could wink your eye 1 was singing wi.ii juy, iur iub . . - Tt L I , . case contained August. sucniera ueai. bottled beer, sent a hundred miles for Uncle Joe." Motion was quick, and bottle was quaffed with the greatest delight, and I want everyone to know tbat the Co lombia Brewery manufactures the best beer at any rate tbe best I haye drank on the coast. I am aure 1 thanked August a thousand times for bis present, and 1 hope be will prosper and grow rich, and that be may be spared for many years to enjoy the fruit ot hia labor. I am sure be never need nave any doubt on bis mind tbat whenever hia thread of life is snapped asunder, that be will dod St. Peter with outstretched arms and the gates wide open to receive him into that grand ancestral place, theie to rest in peace and happiness from the toil of this world, and receive tbat great reward prom- sed to all good people.

It was caused by the escape ot a large blat-.k bear, says the Salem ' Statesman. When the beast found that he was free heat once pro ceeded to chew np a small sized cinna mon bear which was quite dead by the time his black bearship had satisfied his propensity for liears of the cinnamon va riety.' By this time a large number of circus employes and bystanders had pro cured an array of ropes, torches, poles aud such other weapons as might assist in his capture and were right after him Before he was captured, however, he suc ceeded' In tearing all the clothes ott one man and causing two men to fall into a creek, besides affording an unlimited amount of anxious labor for the catchers and sport for the advisory multitude of onlookers for oyer an hour. After his capture the bear was placed in his cage, where he is not again liable to raise such Cain as he did Sunday evening. A Serious Accident, Eagene Guard: An accident happened at the mill of the Eugene Lumber company in this city," this morning a'-out 8 o'clock, which may prove fatal. William El wards as engaged in replacing a belt which had slipped from a pulley. The machinery was in motion at the time thus making the at tempt a difficult one. He nsed a stick in hia maoeuvres, the end of it slipped and struck against a set screw on the pulley. The other end was held in such close prox imity to his bead tbat the revolutions of the pulley threw the stick with such great force against his face as to nearly gouge bis right eye out of its socket. That portion of his. head about his' eye was seriously cut and bruised and be lay for several boars in' a comatose state, resulting from concussion of the brain. Dr. Paine was called aod did all tbat was possible for tbe injured man but the sight of the injured eye is probably impaired beyond remedy. The most serious results will arise from complication of the brain affection, although t hi posaible that be may recover. The Gold Payer. W. 3. Cavei der, who is here on another visit from the John Day, reports the gold mm. tig fever undiminished, says the East Oreqonian. Many men are developing prospects along the stream, aod others are eonttag. Preparations are being made to work the "Lost Tuooej mine" discovered by Mr. Ca vender and bis son about two wears ago. It consists of an old. tunnel, about eighty leet long, located on the north tOrk a half mile aboye the point where the road strikes the stream. After panning out one pan full of dirt taken from the end ot tbetdBuel, an old miner, I C. Bennett, was aa welt satisfied with tbe showing that be has entered into a contract to work tbe claim for a half interest. He will dig a ditch and put in maobinery for hydraulic mining. Below the mouth ot Granite creek a miner has been averaging $3 per day by a somewhat laborioua process. He obtains the dirt on a high bar, slides it to a lower bar by means of a chute, and then carries it in sacks to the river, where he rocks out the gold. la It afe To neglect yourself If troubled with any dl-esse of tbe kidneys?
