' A special meeting of the coanf.il held yesterday afternoon, at which present a full board. 1 be object of tbe meeting was to look after tbe plans of the jail and see it they could not be changed, in order to ayert an injunction suit threatened Ly some citizens.

Brooks, thej beiBg the citizens who objected to tbe present plan, and ascertain what they desired in the matter) that tbe contractor figure (be cost of changes in the mean time, and that the gentlemen be notified that the council would meet to consider their grievances at 7 o'clock the same evening. Tbe chair then appointed T. A. Hud son, L. E. Crowe and W. H. Butts as such committee.

Tbe loss last fall of the crop has put almost every busi ness man and rancher in debt. Money was at 6 M luaoed at 1J per cent, per month an when the time came for pa)ing np, re-' a twals were mado in man instance at 2J pir cent. Creditors are now threatening o f jrecloie or exact a payment of 9 per cent, very thirty days. .This rate of interest ia of course ruinous and makes it a life and death struggle to retain pcswaeion ef prop erty. Merchants are unable to soiled more than a tithe of what is due them. Only a good crop and a good price will enable debtors to approach the payment of obligations." Snooting Affray. From the Pendleton East Oregonian we learn the following particular of tbe shoot ing affray near that city, an account of which was published yesterday: The man who did. the shooting is Jo Saiste. a sheep herder. He haa been in thia county several yeire. List Friday while driving along the Vinson road coming to Pendleton Mr. Thompson aaw Suisse sit ting beside the track. He epeke to the man, aud the latter demanded pay for thirteen months sheepherding wages which Suiste said had been due for a long time. Mr. Thompaou replied that he had never had Suiite in his employ. After parleying aomewhat, he learned that reterenoe waa made to work done for a gentleman wno several year previously had taken 2400 of Mr. Thompson' abeep on abare, and tbut Suiste had been ia that gentleman' employ The Utter had failed in business and Suiste'a wages, so he allege, have never been paid. Mr. Thompson remarked that he could hardly bold himself responsible for other men's debts, whereupon Suiste began to abuse Mr. Thompson and applied oppobri ous epithets. Mr. Thompson' ire was aroused, and ho made preparation to get out of the wagon, wben Suiste partially drew a pistol from his pocket and said he would "tlx him aud get even yet." Wednesday morning a little before noon, Mr. Thompson started out to look the range over aud according to custom among sbeep men, carried a Winchester r.fla. He was parsing over land leased by him fromJ. Gnss, aa abeep range, when Suiste'a do came running toward him. With no thought of doing violence to anyone, Mr. Thompson hred among tn m twice, aou then saw Suiate, distant he thinks, 125 yard with ma rifle in position to shoot. Mr. Tho np son ran ao aa to g;t behind the hill out of range, when Suiste fired. Thompson' fell on a spot where tie ground was covers 1 with rocka, and was at first afraid Suiste, who ha 1 disappeared after shooting, would come over the iijl) aud shoot again. Con sequently be leached for hjs rifle and h'rel to let Suiste k,uow that be was able to Keep on the watoh. Soon thereafter he caught sight of Suiste about a quarter of a mile away, and then saw bim no more. He at first tried to bind up tbe wonod, but grew sick. It was 12 o'clock, nojo. From that time nntil 3 he lay on the rocks, while a cold searching wind blew across the range. He had no overcoat and was aoou chilled and faint. Suiste went immediately to T. B. Wella' camp, five miles distant, and told him ot the circumstance, asking him to go to town with him. Mr. Wells instead told Suiste to go to Pendieton himself and to hi (We. la') bouse. Mr. Wells quickly saddled a horae and went to where tbe wounded man waa lying, returned to bis camp, pro cared a wagon and assistance, aent word by a horseman to town, and Mr. Thompson was put in the conveyance. Suiate related hia story t Mr. Wells and the officers, and it differed in nowise from that of Mr. Thompaou, except that he al leges that the second of the ballets fired smoug the dogs glanced upward and oame dangerously close to bis neok. Then be drew a bead aud fired. Ha olajins that tbe diatance waa not more than fifty yards. He insist that be waa positive Mr. Thompson was shooting ia bis direction with intent to hit bun. Tbe convention met at 1 o'clock in tbe coart bouse ia thia city, and waa called to order by Mr. J. W. Elton who stated the object waa to place a tioket in the field tj bs voted for at tbe next June election. On motion L. Htury of Hood Kiver, waa elected ohairmaa and Mr. H. P. Moore secretary and J.

At the convention of delegates of Wasco and Sher man, at which H D Jory was chosen chair man and H L Howe secretary, L Henrv, of Hood River, and W J Peddicord, of Emi grant, Sherman county, were placed in nomination for joint represen tatives. This cloftJ-the business of the convention. impressed the country that the-.Wilson bill will be knocked out slick and c.ean, and with it confidence has returned in a great measure. This is shown by the fact that recently W. S. Brown, of Neb., bought 5,000 head of sheep in Morrow county at fair figures. Sam Palmer is here and has bought 12,000 head and wants 12,000 more. J. W. Watson, of Nevada, is also here and wants from 5,000 to 6,000 head. It is learned from reliable sources that L. L. Ormsby will come in soon to buy sheep. All in all the outlook is more encouraging ' be cause the people have become convinced that the day of tariff tinkering is past. Under a democratic administration, no better democrat could be in the United States senate than Hill, and the more of that sort the better. Boiler Explosion. East Orsirooian. An explosion occurred Tneaday after noon at Doble's aaw mill about four mile weat of Weston. Matt Lusk, engineer, was aovereiy injured, fortunately there were no others in the engine room at the time of the accident, consequently the engineer was the only one suffering any injury Just before the explosion took place the room waa crowd, d with employes of the mill and had the boiler burst three minntes sooner, the reault would doubtless haye been tbe death of Several. The injured man was taken first to Wes ton and tben brought on tbe eveuing freight to Pendleton, where accommoda tion in the connty hospital were found.

Ferguson, of Q Co. at Hood Eiyer, is In the city May. Be says military matters are quite flourishing jn Death of Mrs. Geo. H. 'Williams A Portland paper yesterday gave the sor rowful intelligence of tbe death of Mrs. George H. Williams, wife of Ex Attorney General Williama of that city. Tne paper says: Death entered the beautiful home of ijx Dnited States Attorney General George H. Williams, on E ghteeotb and Coach streets, at 10 o'clock tbis morning, when his wife, Mrs. Kate Ann Williams, passed to eternal rest. - Mrs. Williams bad been a very intelec tuaj lady, who, prior to ooming to this oity, where she had reside auny years, had been very prominent in society in Wash ington City and New Tork. While ber husband was attorney-general in the cabi net of President Grant the decea-ed lady' great personal magnetism and intellectual power attracted tbe most notab'e and ac complished society of the nation's capital to ber drawing-room. Deceased waa united in marriage to Judge Wil lama about 20 years ago. They were both residents of Portland at that time. After Judge Williama was elected United States senator ahe removed to Washington, where she )ived for tea year-s or mor-e. About 1889 Mr. and Mrs. Williams returned to Portland, and bave a nce made this city their (.ermautnt home. . For some yeara after returning to Port land, Mrs. Williams was a conspicuous and leading figure in social oirclea. Aft r be coming a zealous believer in tbe new and peculiar religioua doctrines, Mrs. Williams Withdrew from fashionable socuyy, aq de- Voted her entire time and energies to works of charity, to the reading of the Soriptures, to the dissemir aion of the faith she so earoestly espoused, to prayer, to meditation, to prophesying aud to exhortation. . One of the cardinal dactrioes U! the new faith was th.t the purification of the body and heart from all physical and moral im purities could be solely acoomulisfie j by farting and prayer. In this peculiar doo trine ahe became the high priestess and spiritual leader. A. ia well known, Me. Williams bad a oqinbtr qf fujlqwera and imitator, whl like herae f -tpaa ed. thronah (he wilderness, U-oud for tbe space of forty day or more tasted little else but bread and wine. Cow Ordinance Suspend- . The cow ordinapoehaabeen suspended until July 1st, and members of tbe bo vine spe.ies may roam at large at the dictation of their own sweet will. This may be agreeable to the instinct of the animal but it is not at all conducive to the flow of the milk of human kindness in the breasts of ordinary human beings who attempt to woo the silent goddess during the dark hours f night. As cows will have the privilege to browse around gardens until the first of July, we hope the owners will have sufficient considera tion for the happiness of their neighbors not to attach bells to the necks of these' milk producers, 'the tntinnah.ulat'ipna bij which drive sleep from 'drowsy' eyelids and cause feelings to be aroused that are not in harmony with the most angelio feelings that should be possessed by tbe weary denizens of this mundane sphere. aand Transferal.

Crop-Leather Bulletin. - Tbe following is tbe report for Rastera Oregon for the wee't ending Tuesday, April 18, 1891, by S. M. BUadlord, ob server weather bqreau ; Weather Tbe temperature was slight ly below the normal. The precipitation was excessive in tbe Columbia and Walla Walla valleys and about tbe average in other sections. The first portion of the week was warm but terminated cool. Tbe average sunshine occurred. Frosts oc curred in many sections. . Crops In tbe interior and southeastern counties bloom has not so far advanced as to suffer injury from frosts Forward trees are commencing to bloom. Bloom in the Columbia river and Walla Walla valleys is slightly later than the average season. henries, peaches, plums, apri cots and strawberries are in bloom. Frosts have injured peach bloom slightly in this section. Fruit and grain prospects continue excellent. Many new orchards are being planted in many sections. Tbe greatest activity in this respect is notice able in the vicinity of Hood Kiver. In tbe setting out of new orchards the apple tree predominates, peaph tree planting throughout this section receives little en couragement. Plums and prunes are suf ficiently hardy, consequently a popular fruit in the Columbia river valley. Seeding spring grain is being forced to a close in many localities. The Umatilla county farmers appear te be leading other sections in seeding spring grain; there is much yet t be done in Wasco county. Growth of wheat and grass continues un checked, its color dark green and its ap pearance vigorous. The acreage of grain has increased in tbe interior and eastern Counties, while iq the Columbia river counties it has decreased upon tbe intro duction of fruit. Yolunteer wheat looks well and promise; to make a good crop. Mapy depend upon it solely for their grain prop. Barley is coming up. Wild mustard and tarweed, is appearing In many fields. Grass on tbe range is the best ever known owing to the moisture in tbe ground. Alfalfa is making a good start. All kinds of stock are doing well. Sbeep shearing has commenced. Democratic Heal. A good joke ts told at the expense of one of the delegates to the .Astoria convention frog) thia oity, and one that will be duly appreciated by hi many friends in tbe county. He baa been the executive officer of the county for two years, and has faith fully performed his da ties to tbe satisfaction of Democrat and Republicans. Mot being a candidate for re election, be ia not seek ing favors, but will always remain true to Democracy. While in Portland, enroute to the city by tbe sounding sea, he and two other stepped into a restaurant for dinner. Wben tbe waiter asked bim for bia order, he said be wanted a good Pemocratio meal, while the others named two or three artiolea on the hi" of fare. Jn good time a plate of soup came to him, which he managed to diminish very quickly. While tue other Were aatiaf yicg themselves oq roast beef and other dishes, no attentioo was paid to bim, and he eat gasjiog iqtq bia empty squp howl. After they h4 finished their . dinner and Were about to leave, he inquired of tbe waiter the reaaon he had not been served with other dishes besides aoup. With a protection grio on bis faci, the caterer mild ly anawered, "Yon . wanted a Petnocratio meal, and yon got aoup. and that i sym bolic of the place where the party ia at the present tim,e." Interesting: Facta. In the year of 1860 our woolen manu facturers used (18,379,785 pounds of greasy wool in that year. In 1890 they consumed 434,000,000 pounds. Protection did it I In 1860 Great Britain consumed 300, 000,000 pounds, three times as mnch as we did; but in 1890 it . consumed but 470,000,000 pounds of wool, only 8 per cent more than we did. Now let the man who advocates free trade remember that in 1860 G eat Brit ain used three times as much wool as we did that year, but by 80 years protection our manufacturers of wool increased 340 per cent, while Great Britain only in creased 67 per cent. Free trade did it. - m -' Tlie IoeltB. Tbe wing dam has been completed at the Cascades, and the water flowing in at tbe mouth of tbe canal has been effectu ally excluded.
