The court room was crowdei to hear the decision and sentence as the c ise has created con siderable interest in this vicinity. A report ws current in tbe city last 3venmg tbat tbe men at work oa tbe road near Celilo bad joined the strikers, and bad threatened the company's property in this city.

L: Car ter, who has held the office of county school superintendent for a number of years and was the candidate on the Re publican ticket for re-election at tbe June elecliou, commenced an action against Miss JNellie ntevens, tbe candidate on tbe Populist ticket for the sine office, who received a plurality of votes over Mr. Carter, restraining her from assuming the office. Tbe action, we are informed. Is based upon the constitutional grounds tb8t a woman is Ineligible to hold the office, election 2, article II. The strike on the railroad Is becoming a very serious u. alter with tbe fruit rais -era of this section, says the Union R pub licaa. In the Cove the loss of the straw -berry crop alone is estimated at flOCO a day. The loss there will be fully fi5, 000 - to this crop: Before tbe railroads stopped handling freiebt, shippers were gelling 40 cents net per gallon for their strawber ries. Now many are glad to get 10 cents on tbe vines and in some of the large patches no effort is made to gather the fruit, but it is allowed to rot on the yinea. But unless the strike ends the loss will ' not stop here. An immense crop of rasp berries is just coming on and the cherry . crop will be ready in a few days. baiem just now is experiencing a sugar - " famine of small proportions, savs the &tafesmait,caused by the inability to move the freight trains from eastern and south- i ern points. A majority of the grocery stores report tbat "granulated in sacks" is out but there seems to be a sufficient quantity of "extra " brown. This con dition will prevail until Monday evening or later when it is expected that a supply will be received by steamer. This be hooves the reader to go a little slow ' in the matter ot sweetening bis coffee or tea. A prominent contractor said yesterday " that "there wasn't a barrel of lime to be had in the city" and he was in doubt about cement being plentilul, either. From Thursday's Daily. Two more members of tbe Salvation army - arrived on tbe boat last eveLiug. We ex pect several more as aoon as barracks are provided tor them. Salem Statesman: Ralph EL Moody, who is faat becoming piotuiieut in the legal pro fession at Portland, visited over Sunday with but parents in this city. Tbe department considers tbe charge of $300 a week for carrying tbe mail 45 niilee, without the necessity of any tranater being made, as exorbitant, and so do a great many of onr citizens. -.

The sidewalks shoo id be cleaned of all sediment left by the flol. L idles com plain that the alkali dust left by tbe reced ing water ia very damagiug to drtases. The police court baa been enjoying a quiet and peaceful time for a few daya. No arrests have been made for two daya paat, and the wheels of justice in this department baa ground out very little gnat. Since the flood the door of tbe city jail could not be clos d,and th-se were repaired today so that this repository of guilt or in nocence may be used for the incarceration ot offenders aaioat tbe city ordinance.

The 18 months-old daughter of Mr. Hel- wig, ot juoaes Uouiee, wash., died irons, a rattlesnake bite Jnne 27th. The child was playing on the dooratep. She began crying. and the mother on picking her up noticed a spot on tbe little finger and supposed she had been atung bv a bee or some other in sect, but on being unable to relieve the child s soffenng, Mr. Helwig went out to. investigate, and on tnroing over a barrel that stood near tbe door, .found a large rat tlesnake under it.

The aherifFe office is yery cool and con soling to reporters, even if no items are gathered. Mr. Driver has alwaya a pleas ant, affable salutation for visitors, and his genial and gentlemanly deputy, Mr. Robert rlelly, is always willing to accomodate per- ons, and will as gladly giye a receipt for raxes aa to aigo hia name to aome- (cm ot literature, when solicited by a book agent. All these thing come in the ordinary course f an exi-tanue, and Mr. Kelly is philosor- pher enough to glide smoothly afuog tbe atrpsm of life without creating extra annoy ance to the even flow of his placid feelings by battling against the tnrbuteat current. In the worry and whirl of an ethereal existence there is considerable sameness to the events of an every -day life. Occasionally an nnusual event, like the preaent strike, may claim more than usual attention; but tbe interest in such soon dies out, and ' the anxious mind will, lu a day or ao, long foi some novelty. Tbe end of tbe great agitt cion is not out of the or.uoary course of eventa. Jyibor goes to the wall and apo cumba to the ineyitarble It alwaya haa and.

Jt Grande Chronicle: It ia apparently a lett ed tact thai the strike en the 0- It ft N., and tbat is tbe Lame by which this road a now to be designated, is ended. Tnere is a difference of opinion as to tbe justification of the boys going out in the first place, but that is a matter that ned not be discussed. It may be state! o iwever, that the general public will be satisfied with the fact that the road is again opened for buaiuess. Tnere is no doubt tb it tne susptniion ot traffic for a prolonged period woild i.e a terrible blow it his oouutry, especially if it ahquid ex tend through the grain shipping season. The ignous fatuus'of perpetual motion is not yet given op. ani the following from tne Pendleton Tribune is the latest claim ant. "Jacob Mili, of vVeaton, i a v.sittr iu Pftid.eton. He will remain bere ten days, then journty on to the Willamette valley, to permanently take up hia a .ode. He is tbe inventor of a machine tbat will turtle some people, Tt)e apparatus which be has constructed will wind itself, up as it rtins down snd vice versa thus being per petual motion wbile it runs. Mr. Mills haa applied for a patent on bis combination of power. His working model is-now dis jointed and boxed up at Weston " Tiie O R. N. Roadbed. A Portland exchange has tne following in ref reuce to railroa i matters: "At the htanqaarters of the O. E. ft N, Company yesterday, it was leirned that tbe flood damage to the railtoal along the Co lumbia is shown by official reports, based on actual inspection, to be yery much less than haa been supposed. From estimates com pleted y ester lay, it was concluded tbat tbe Hoe from Portland to The Dalles can b repaired and pat in good working order for $35,000, and that the repairs to the line east of the Dalle? wi'l not excse l $75,000. Within a week the line will be open for through passenger business to the cast by tbe nseof two boat t ran-f era, from the Cas cade Lock to The Dalles, snd from Celilo to Arlington, and the whole line will be op so for traffic within 30 daya. "The work of repair is being pui-hrd al1 along the line, under the direction of W. H. Kennedy, chief engineer in charge, and a lare amount of work is bein done. "Tbe points which control the openiog of the road are C umbus ro;k, where a trestle 1400 feet in length Will have to be filled in on account of the depth of watsr, and a rocky bottom which prevents piles from being driyen; and the bridge 'wcrk between tbe Cascades and the Dalles, which is a good deal of a job. "E.stof The Dilles the road is in much better condition thai was expected. The embankments, being mostly of gravel, with stood the flood in good shape, and were not wiFhed out, aa waa reported when they were under water. The track has been overturned in many places, owing to the ties lifting' the rails;' but this does not amount to much, and the repairs proceed at a much more rapid rate than was suppo-eJ possible." Tnat Man, Dr. Morrison. Boise Democrat. Morrison, the tellow who induced a Boise married woman to elope with him several months since, taking two chil dren, is again here and in jail. It will be remembered that he was overbanlcd a' The Dalles, Oregon, and jailed, while tbe woman with children returned to her husband and home. He succeeded in getting released from jail and was not heard of again until he returned in dis guise and registered at tbe Bancroft, as L Li. Van, Spokane. His make-up, con sisting of a beard in a new place and tremendous goggles, was a very poor one and be was soon recognized and watched by Chief Chinn.. Tbe viciuity of his former victim was bis attraction, and bo wandered there goggles and all, where the women ot thb neigbborbcod also spotted him far as they could see him. Bat unable to obtain au interview or get one glance of the woman he wanted to to see, he slung bis hoofs back to town and boxed a letter to her. On Wednes day afternoon he leisurely walked to tbe depot, still under suryeilance, and beliey- ing tbat be intended to leave the scenes of his former conquest be gently fell into tbe arms of Sheriff Branstetter, who has a meddlesome penchant of always being around where he isn't wanted in such matters. Tiie charge lodged against tbe man, whose weakness is other men's wives, is that of kidnapping the two children. Terrible Tlmea at Wardner. A dispatvb frjm Wardner, dated July 8th, saya: ' The tunes have broken loose again. A bold outrage has been committed. The hills are full of rioters. The town is paralyzed. Business is suspended. ' The sheriff is now organizing a posse to defend tbe mines. Before sunset blood will fliw. At 2:30 o'clock yesterday a tremendous explosion shook tbe town. It waa followed by a chorus of derisive yells then silence. It was discovered that an attempt had been made to blow np tbe power house and elec tric Hght plant of the BuDker Hill and Sullivan jnioes. Sticks, of dynamite had been shoved under tbe building and ex ploded. The plan had been pooily laid, and the darkness hid prevented placing the stuff at the most destructive point. But the explosion was sufficient to wreck tbe plant completely, although a large part of the building was left standing. The hills above the power house are full of rioters who make no attempt to attack the town, but have spent tbi whole morn ing rolii ig rocks down tbe steep mountain side upon the p3wer house and mine build ings Huge boulders, heavy masses of slag and big logs have beeu bounding down the slope all day cruahicg everytning before them in their half mile run. At Pendleton. The situation at Pendleton on account of tbe railroad atrike ia thus summed up by the Eist Oregonian of Saturday evening: "Pendleton Las now expenenced one week of actual tie up, excepting tnat the W. ft C. R. and the Spokane branch of the O. R. ft N. have kept open. This haa been of little practical use in relieving the situation, since every town reached by them is in ex actly the condition in whioh is Pendleton, the people, although divided in their ad vocacy of the pnnciplea ef ei her side to tbe controversy, are ntaoimous in clamoring for a hasty adjustment of the affair and tbe earlv resumption of traffic. Tbey are be ginning to lose sight of the principles at stake on either side and are looking, snmx with alarm, at tbe circumstances as affect ing their own inters is. "Article of all kind are short in the stores. Should the tie-op continue much longer the staple will be exhausted. One grocer said be bad on band 400 pounds of coffee, bis Ueual sales for one week. When the present supply is gone, there will be no way in which to repleoisluand people will be com pilled to do without." Hidnlg-ht Marauders. Last night about half pa t 1 1 o'clock E mayor Jreft was awakened by his wife and informed that there was a man in the yard. He got up immediately and, procuring his rifle, went out te give the fellow a proper welcome. He walked towards tbe barn and aaw that hia horse, saddle and bndle were all ribt, and then saw something movir g in the corner of the fence. He aimed high snd at the same time told tbe party to "git" Tbe fellow evidently beard tbe report, for before Mr. Kreft could climb over the feoje he had crawled through a bole made by a loose board, and was running like a quarter horse. When Mr. B-reft returned to tbe house his wife told bim tbat ahe saw two other men run around the yard after the ahot wai tired; bat did not call to ber haa band at the time, or there would have been a coroner's inquest' this morning, Sqme daya since Mr. Ireft found a bunch of let ters legibly, directed, under bis bedroom window on the. outsido of the bouse, and thia fastens his suspicions pn a certain party. e says if any person want; bjs dorse, sad dle, hridle, etc,, tbey are i,q bis barn, and he will present a.ny oqe who cornea with a tair amount of lead for his trouble. -Weatftrr-Buretm.

The cropa are nearly all sufficiently well advanced that no matter what th weathei conditions may be large harvests will result. More ma is Arrive. The Oreqonian yesteftay had the follow ing regarding the arrival of mails iu that citv: "Two daya' delayed eastern mails arrived over the Union Pacfic, by way of Chey snni and Arlington, at 8:39 o'clock last night, and will be distributed this morning, It is about ten Hays old, and must have been tied up at Cheyenne aud Omaha about the tirr-o thn strike commenced.

Tne Wheat outlook. In conversation with a Sherman county farmer yesterday he informed us that the wheat crop appeared iu better condition than it has for many years. "If we re ceive 50 eents a bushel for our grain," he said, "the farmers of our district w.U be flush after harvest, and, if perchance the price should range between 80 and 90 cents we would not exchange pUces with Mr. Pullman. But there is always some drawback, apparently, to our prosperity, and it looss dubious now about facilities for moving ihe immense amount of .grain tbat our fields will yield this barvest. With an open river to the sea, a fleet of barges could be loaded at the wharves of The Dalles to transport tbe produce of the great Inland Empire to tidewater. Wo are in hopes that this will be accom plished in a few years.and then the farm ers of Sherman county will not be vassals to the railroad company. But," he con tinued, "we are hungry for news. Th great, strike appears to have paralyzed everything.and in our neighborhood news papers are eagerly sought When the mails become regular again we expect to hear from tbe outside world; but until that time the larmers in our locality can on'y be patient, and look aud smile at the growing grain." - JL Grave Offence. An assault and battery case waa tried be fore Justice Davis this afternoon, in which L D. Francisco was the complaining wit ness and George Cbivers the defendant. It seems that these two men are employed in taking care-of some graves in tbe Odd Fel Iowa' cemetery, and as Mr. Chiyers says and he has an excellent reputation in thia city for honesty and indokt y Francis.-o waa in the habit of uing the whole force of water so that he could not tend to tbe graves under his charge as he desired. This con tinued for a 1 ng time against the constant protest of Mr, Coivers, until one morning last week Francisco p'ayed his old tne us aud when Chi vers turnei the water on abused him acd used insulting language to wards him. Tois somewhat angered Cbi vers, and he struck Fianoisco oue blow. When district attorney Jayhe was here, the complaint in relation to tbe aame facts was brought to bis attention, and at that time he very wisely dismissed the. case after inquiring into the matter. But now, after be bas gone ti his home, the case is again brought before the same magistrate, and a trial ia bad and a fine ot $10 imposed for an offttise which tbe dietiiet attorney, elec ted by tbe suffrages t f the people, did not ooosider wot thy of consideration.

Tbe foliowiug is lrom dis patches dated Sacramento, July 11th: Soon after 9 o'clock General Superin tendent Fillmore reached the depot in a back. He immediately sent word of his arrival to Cjlooel Graham, and they were closeted together for over aa hour. When Coloael Graham reappeared, he ordered bia officers to drive everyone out of the depot, including newspaper reporters- Division Superintendent Wright tben reappeared on tbe scene, and proceeded. with tbe aid of a switch eogioe, to clear .be main track. After this had been done, orders were issued to take tbe East ern overland, wbicb bas been delayed bere since tbe inaugratioo of tbe strike, :o San Francisco. Sain Clark, one of tbe oldest engineers in the employ of ti.e company, too charge of the engine, and one Deoekomp. a railroad employe. acted as nreman. Dam xtevooiaa was conductor. Acting under instructions lrom tyoionei uranam. ill regulars ac companied the train. As tbe train pulled out of tbe depot so ominous silence prevailed. Tbe strikers wtre evidently not in a bappy mood, and Irtquently hinted that tbe train wou'd not reach Sn Franeisco. Such proved the '.rutb. Nol loog after tbe tram left the depot, word was received bere tbat i bad been fired upon by the strikers and ditched It was reported that Eugineer U ark was killed by a bullet, and that several regulars bad perished in the wreck . Liter aa vices bowtver, show that not a shot was fired. Tne strkers badt unspiked tbe rai s for a distance of about 100 feet and covered their dastardly wnrk witb Bind Engineer Cltrk, notwith standing tbat he was on the alert tor sush cowardly tactics, plunged ioio tbe trap. Tbe engine was overturned and several cars were npset. - Clark was killed, and Privates Byrne, Lubberding and Clerk's namesake met a similiar fate. Private Diumler, who was with tbe men in 'the ogine when it upset, was seriously in lured anout tne Dead, frivate ii lis was nurt internally, and Is likely to die The other soldiers burt are privates Dugan and Wilson; the former bad bis arm cut off and is in a bad way.

Our boys will consider this in a eertain measure a praotice gone. as after they have became accustomed to handling bats and ball they are anxious to meet the Antelope club, which undoubtedly will oily furnish amusement for them. Then, alter entertaining the base-ballista cf that town with the science and art of the game tbey intend issuing a challenge to the northwest, when, they will enter the pro fessional field and devota their time and taleuts to the mtnlv game. Good Roads. The West Coast Trade bas the following pertinent remarks On this important sub ject, which -is of local application to eve y community: "There ought to be concer ted action by all in authority, and all who will be benefitted, for tbe improvement of the country roads, especially the main roads, over which there is so much travel or heavy loads -.most be drawn to market. These roads may be so improved, without great outlay, that teams will draw loadj zo per cent heavier than can now be drawn, and easier. Tbat is a gain worth every farmer's while to look after. It wili pay the farmers better than listening to the yawpings of patent politics peddlers who want to 'or ganize' them into something to right every wrong cxeept poor'country roads. A fcood road in front of a farm adiia ao materially to tne yalue of the farm that tbe owner could affjrd to make it go id at his own expense."

Fought for Life Long Siege of Dangerous Illness Left In Low Condltlon-Clven Health and Strength by Hood's Sarsaparilla. "C. I. Hood & Co,. Lowell, Mass.: 'Gentlemen: I have been through a terrible siege of illness, and owe my present health to Hood's Sarsaparilla. First, I was taken sick with measles, and on the eighth day the doctor said I bad bronchitis following that complaint. In a short time lung fever developed, and I was In a serious condition for quite a wbile. When I began to get a little better, my friends thought that IX I ever got up I would have ' Consumption, I had such a terrible cough and threw off twice my weight I continued in a very weak and low condition; my weight falling from 115, before I was taken sick, to 68 pounds. Then in January, 1893, 1 had an attack of the grip, and was con. lined to my room ten weeks. After this attack I was stiU very weak and did sot gain health at all until I began to take Hood's Sarsaparilla. I had no appetite for anything, and was sick at my stomach continually and had a bad taste In my mouth. r Some friends who were taking Hood's Sarsaparilla begged me to try It. My parents bad despaired ot anything doing ms good, but began to give me the medicine, and before I bad taken one bottle there was such A Change'for the Better that tbey were glad to have me continue. The second bottle did for me what no medicine had ever done. It gave me strength and brought my general health up to where it was two weeks Hood'sCures before I was taken with the measles. I have now finished my third bottle, and feel strong and well. I shall always thank to Hood's Sarsa parilla.' E. Irena' HAbris, Irving, Oregon.
