Spokane. Wash.. Sept. 7 Frank L.
Wilson, a prominent colored Republican

long been intimate friends, own adjoin
ioL' homesteads. Wilson is in business
here, and on going to his ranch Tuesday,
found Hart bad lumped it. Wilson car
ried a repeating rifle, with which he bad
been buntiner. When he arrived at bis
place and found Hart in the barn.
ouarrel arose. '.Thi was followed by a
fight, in which Hart wrenched the gun
from Wilson. Hk raii-ed :t to firp, when
Wilson beeced him not to 6hoot. Hart
fired, however, the ball passing tbiough

' Talk ot Compromise.
Washington," Sept. 8 The air about
the seaate wio" of the capito! is full of
rumors of compromise upin the financial
question, but it is impossible to trace
most of theso to any source which ap
pears authoritative, or wtncu majeures
any orgHnized mnvemeDt of sufficient
force to produce results. One given out
wit!) the greatest attentiou to details,
which bears a s'lisbt promise of fruition
in case it should prove true, is to tbe ef
fect that Gormitu is moving m the direc
tion of a compromise. It is reported
that be Una been to the - executive man
sion with a suggestion to tpe etlecl mat
it would be impossible to secure ac'.lon
on tbe part of the senate until tbe repeal
forces shall have agreed to some com
promise which the silver men will accept.
Gorman's former friendship lor the white
metal and the iact that he is personally
on good terms with tbe ftoators Irom the
silver sraies, together with the fact thai
he fitti long been one of the Democratic
leaders in the senate, caused tuts report
to appear very plausible, notwithstand ing
tbe many circumstances which
seemed to con tirra the repoit. Gorman
denied the story in tzplic.it terms, and
assure! the questioner the report was ut
terly without foundation. "We shall."
be said,' "fight this thine out to a finish,
and when a vote is taken it will be upon
the proposition of unconditional repeal

of the recent arrest for insanity, mention Of
which was made in this paper. He has
figured out his damage at exactly $1000,
which modest sum he has sued for, so we
are informed by his attorney, H. B. Hen
dricks. Wheat bas not been received in any very,
large quantities yet, and tbe last two or
three days of rain has delayed harvesting
very materiality. ' No great injury has been
done to grain so far, and dry weather may
be expected hereafter.' Three days of rain
is something unprecedented, and has not
happened in this region for years. It has
cleared the atmosphere of smoke, and if no
damage bas been done to grain tbe showers
have been very acceptable.

that a committee of vigilantes would be the
only means of stopping their operations,

The Goldendale papers very unjustly
criticise the members of The Dalles base
ball nine in regard to the game played in
this city last Xuesday, and in many in
stances publish statements which are un
true. It may be a fact that there were two
or three players who were not members of
the local club, and the same is true of the
Goldendale nine. The victory was such a
crushing defeat tor our neighbors in V ash
ington that it is no matter of surprise they
teel very much chagrined over the result.
Our boys have always borne the reputation
of being hospitable to visitors, and the
charge of not being courteous to the Gold
endale club must .be considered wholly
splenetic. t '

Tbe "Pilgrim" Hazlett showed up in Dallas
Sunday, on his regular round. Twenty

pile up as many inonpariel ems as the best
ot them. JNow tbe weight ot years is upon
him; his locks have become silvered, his
eyesight is bedimmed and his former steady
gait at the case is slow and uncertain.
hvery village and helmet on ' the northwest
coast that has known Hazlett so well in the
past will soon know him no more, for his
'tramps will soon be o er, and if not called
to his eternal home, he must accept a home
prepared for the homeless of earth.
Eugene Guard- The Oregon Pacific rail
road has made a rate of $2.50 per ton, on
wheat, from Albany to San Francisco. The
giant monopoly, the Southern Pacific rail
road, charges our people, for 123 miles, to
Portland, $2.80 p?r ton. In plain terms, a
highway robbery; and still the state rail
road commission stands idly by and makes
no more to protect the producer. By all
means the next legislature should abolish
said commission, which is preying on the
taxpayers and protecting the corporations
of the state. One relief will come as soon
as the river raises a few feet. The Oregon
Pacific will run boats here, and ship all
wheat offered, and at prices that will be far
below those charged by the 8. P. K. E.
