Hob. Pniltp Washerman, ex-mayor of

died In that city yesterday, aged 69 yeau
, The smRll pox scare is very ill advised,
lor tne disease lias never Decome epi
demic In this city, although there have
been several isolated cases in The Dalles
at different times.
Mr. Samusl Mouoban, the smallpox
fiatient, is doing very well, but the other
nmates of the Uouse have not developed
any symptoms of the disease. The pa
tient ia not out of danger yet.
Mr. Matt Thorbouru, of Tygh ridge, is
in the city. He says ibe snow has not
left that portion of the county and he
does not expect ihe ground clear of the
congealed element until Jnne.
Judge Bradsbaw, in chambers, during
. the week, has deci le J some motions and
demurrers, but nothing of importance
was iransaciea. i etieraay, in tne case
of Jacobsen vs Jacobsen, motions were
argued for allowance by plaintiff of at
torney'a fees for defendant and expenses
oi witnesses.
; The loss of the building burned by in
cendiaries last night will be about $,203.
There was no insurance One stove was
in the building, but the beds and bed
ding moved yesterday were placed ia the
, company' building until the city pest
House could be cleaned throughout.
The building in the pines commonly
known aa the company's pest house was
built by subscriptions from employees at
ue Bnops, auu is not ownea uy me ran
- road company. It was erected at a time
when there were fears that small pox
would become epidemic among the shop
men ; but tne building naa never n id a
single occupant.
Mr. E. L. Smith, of Hood River.
speaker of the house in the legislative
session of 1889, is at the Perkins- Mr.
Smith is one of (he many Republicans of
Wasco county who regret the defeat of
senator Doipn, and says "it will be some
years before our county will send another
Coon . to ttie - lezislature. " Uregomzn
During the senatorial contest the Port
land Hun and other Demo-Republican
papers claimed that Coon was cHrryiug

Kiver.
Or. Hollister, who is in attendance on
the smallpox paileot, changes his clothe
ing completely every time be vistts the
man, and also has himself sprayed will)
anii-septics. There is no possibility of
the disease spreading by this means, and
it is a part of tbo physician's duty to ren
der every aid possible to any one Butter
ing with an infections or contagious dis
ease.
It will be a matter of impossibility for
the next few weeks at least to make
public just what new laws were enacted
. by the legislature, or what old ones were
amended or repealed. Legislation was
, staved off aa much as possible on ac
count of the senatorial contest until the
last end of the session, and it will take
time to discover how much of thecon
glomerate'mess settled to the bottom. '
The Oregon Railway & Navigation
Comoanv. so far as has been learned, does
": not look with much favor on the portage
railway bill passed by the legislature.
The means ia for the purpose of regula
ting traffic between Celilo and The Dalles.
It fixes maximum freight rates, and re
quires the railroad company to connect
its line with boat landings at both places,

' At Pendleton Sunday night a girl baby
two weeks old was left on the doorstep
of J. R. Dickson, who Tag aroused from
' sleep by a violent riogiDg of his hell and
found a cheap fruit basket with a crying
infant awaiting him. Kxtra clothing was
in the basket. A card was pinned to the
covering, and was superscribed, "Pre
sented to the servant lady," who is a res-
luem 01 uiiitua. xu tue uasa.es was juuuu
a note, written on a triangular piece of
rough paper, apparently by one accus
tomed to writing for the press
. A larceny ot a keg o! beer was com
muted last night from the Columbia Ho
tel. Two men desirous of artificial
stimulants, entered the barroom when the
barkeeper was absent for a few moments,
shouldered the beer, and left by the back
door. They were arretted by Constable
Urquhart and lodged in the city jail.
This morning, before Justice Dayis the
men had a hearing for the crime, and
James Clark was sentenced to the county
Jail for thirty days, and the trial of the
other, John Fox, was postponed until
afternoon when he received the same sen
tence. .
Sheriff Sears of Multnomah county and
Henry K. McGinn, senator from that
county during the late session of the leg
islature, met on the streets of Portland
yesterday and bad two or three rounds a
la John li, Sullivan. Sears was angry at
JMciiinn because ha claimed be "sneaked"
a biM through the legislature which re
duced the sheriff's emoluments.aod called
tim a not very complimentary name. At
this McGinn struck him, and' Sears drew
his revolver and hit McGinn over the
head. At this juncture the parties were
separated, and no more blows were ex
changed.
Heppner GazeU'. An unheard of pro
cedure on the part of feeders of swine
ia being practiced by some in this sec
tion. They are buying plug horses and
feeding them to hogs. ' John Markley
has fed to his bogs about sixty horses,
and Jess Finley, another hog rais r, has
utilzed the same number. They pay for
them from 50 cents to $3 50 each, knock
them in the head, skin them, then
throw their carcasses in the hog pen. It
is said that Mr. Markley has fed his hogs
on horse flesh so long that now, if one
rides or leads a horse into the pen, the
hogs will rush at him and it is with diffi
culty that they are prevented from de
vouring him.

$270,000 in debt, although they have not

amount may exceed that som. During all
these years while the debt was accumulat

bat the people didn't go, and it is now a

The general appropriation bill passed by
tne late lealiture carries about SI. 260.-
WW pretty big for an economical session.
I his indicates that the total appropriations
of tbe session will be over 52 500.000. The
general appropriation bill of last session
carried $1,226,732 50, which was $39,641.43
less than tbe one last reported. This in
dioates that we may expect to bave a billion
dollar legislature as well as a billion dollar
congress.

Major McNiel, receiver of the O. R. & N.
Co., was in town today on a tour of inspec
tinn ot the road. A reporter of the Times
Mountaineer met tho Majir at the Uma
lilla House, and found him in a talkative
mood. Very agreeable and gentlemanly io
conversation, of a targe business experience
regarding tbe operation of railroads, he is in
sympathy with tbe development cf tbe
state. He say the increase of business in
Oregon means an increase in the traffic over
tbe line of tne O. R. & N. Co., and the
company is directly interested in building
np all industriis that may be warranted by
tbe natural resource. This l.ne is differ'
ently managed from n bit it was a lew
year ago. and inste.d of everything being
dictated by a trans-conticental road whose
headquarters were a thousand miles distant.
it is now distinctly an Oregon company, be
ing directly concerned in eyerjthiog that
fetid to the welfare of tbe state. Major
McNeil detires to meet any who bave com
Dlaints' to make, and the Portlaud office
holds itself responsible for mistakes.
The Maj r said the company is in favor oi
an open riyer, and the sooner this is accom
plished the better it will suit the railroad.
He aaid the completion of the ship-railway
between this point and Celilo will be the
best advertisement the state ever nad, and
will attract population. Where there are
five hundred people now there will be
tbousanda then, and each one will be a con
sumer, ibis increase in trade win more
than make np for any redaction ia freight
rate rendered neceiaary by water compe
tition.
Io tegard to tbe Smith bill, which hat
passed the hgislatuie and baa now become
a law, Mr. McNeil did not thiuk it would
save much to the farmer and might antag
on aa a laige appropriation lor tne eariy
completion of tbe boat railway. If con-
greas believe the state of Orig in bas given
relief to the producers of the 1: 1 ind Em
pire by reducing rates over the pirtage
from Tbe Dalles to Celilo to tbe minimum,
tbe appropriation in tbe river and harbor
will be cut to the lowest figure. When it
is taken into consideration that tbe same
handling of grain is necessary as now, the
use tf the O. R. & N. Co'a track will be of
little material advantage. If the cost of
transferring wLeat from the boat to tbe
oars at Celilo, and from the cars to the boat
at this point is 15 cents a ton each time,
there will be 30 cents added to tbe 40 cents
allowed for traoapoi t jtiou. To thia most
be added a living rate for the boat on the
uppr river, and the cot of carriagi from
this city to Portland. Fi eight rates have
been largely reduced during the past few
years, snd there will be auolher cut by the
railroad company the coming Fummer. The
company desires to deal fairly with shippers
in regard to freight charges, and tbe direct
or consider those now -prevailing reason
able. Io comparison with eastern roada the
greater volume of business done, cheap
wag?s and less tost ot conetrncting and keep
ing tbe road-bed io repair must be consid
ered as advantages iu their favor. Perhaps j
more fre ghting ia done in a month in Min
nesota by local toads than by the O R. &
N. Co. io t year, and the cost of keeping the
road ia repair is not neaily as much as in the
northwest, especially down the gorge of the
Columbia. From tbe days when the O. S
N. Co. was the only railroad line there have
been frequent reductions, and there will be
still more when business and development
of the country make it advisable. Tbe
company realizes that time are bard and
m outy scarce, and expect to make their
obarge to suit tb s?.
Farmer and produoer are the great
builders of every country, and Mr. McNeil
says tbe (), R. & N. Co., as tar as possible,
will make the ccat of rarrifgt bearable to
them. He is a thorough Lm.uess man, and
in the discuuion cf tbe question of trans
portation uses thore arguments whioh
appeal to men who haye bad practical ex
perience. "
Fro n tbe conversation with the receiver
we believe the company will treat with the
people on fair and business principles. It
is not a foreign crrporation, but una which
i directly interested in everything tbat
will attract population and increase tnde in
Oregon. It plan for the future are such
that are in harmony with the beat interests
ot tl.is region, and eyery factor that will
impel growth and development will be to
its pecuniary advantage.

considerable applause. These, as well as

ADDITIONAL BRIEFS-
From Friday's Daily.
Incendiarism.
Last night,soon after 8 o'clock ,an alarm
of fire was sounded and the cause was
found to be a fire in the city peat house
in the pines. It was soon enveloped in
flames, and as it was far removed from
any fire plug the destructive element
had full sway. In a little while a crowd
from the city congregated at the scene,
and it was found that theO. R. & N. Co's
pest house had also been fired. Some
inflammable material had been placed un
der the sill of the building, and it was
only by arduous efforts of some bystand
ers that it waa saved from conflagation.
While the men were at work putting out
the incipient flames some in the
crowd of persons standing around said,
"Let it burn. We want no small pox
here," and, when inquiry was made for a
bucket of water they groaned and hissed.
The first building soon went down in a
sea of flames, illuminating the borizen
for a considerable distance. As the fiery
element leaped high into the air, it gave
a weird and picturesque appearance to
the surroundings. Peep in the wildwood
could be seen crowds of spectators, who
were brought in full view by the illumi
nation. The pine trees around the
building caught fire, and the little
tongues of flames climbed to the very top,
only exhausting . their strength when'
every dry branch and leaf were consumed.
At one time it seemed likely that the
forest would suffer from the fierce fury
of the flames, and tbat the trees would
spread the destruction. . But they were
too green to burn, and with the single
building no further damage was caused.
This was undoubtedly the work of
incendiaries, who, by this means at
tempted to prevent the board of health
from carrying out their plans for the
safety of the city from the contagion of
small pox. The other building was
Baved from sharing the same fate by the
marshal placing a guard around it during
tbe night. This scare about s nail pox
is senseless, as there is very little, if any,
danger of it spreading, and residents in
the bluff addition are as safe as other
residents in the city from the disease.
Juvenile Temple Concer-t-
At the Baptist church last evening an
entertainment was given by the Juvenile
Temple of this city, which attracted a
large audience and gave general satisfac
tion to those present. There were songs
and recitations, and each number was
loudly applauded Worthy of especial
mention was a drill executed by a class
of young ladies, who wore black dresses,
white aprons and red caps, with dust
pans and dust cloths hanging from the
belt. The military maneuvers were ex
ecuted with brooms, and the movements
were in perfect unison. Lieut. Col. J.
M. Patterson, of tbe Third Regiment, O.
N. G-, was the drill master, and is en
titled to considerable credit for the pro
flency attained. Another class of boys
and girls gave a good-night drill, which
Saddea Death.
Mrs. Sarah Statti, an old lady who ha
done washing for different families in the
city, dud this forenoon about 11 o clock
while engaged io washing clothes at Mrs
D. J Cotp;i' residence. Mrs. Statts was
working at the washtub, while Mrs. Cooper
waa upstairs, and the latter ltdy not hear
ing any noise below was fearful that some
thing, serious had happened. She imme
diately went downstairs and found Mis,
Statta in a recumbent position' with ber
neck wedged between the wringer and tob.
She was lifted to a chair, bat only breathed
oooe after she waa lelieved from the post
tioo. It is supposed she ai attacked by
heart disease while rubbing the clothes on
the washbeard, and fell in the position in
which she was found. Mrs. Statu was
very industrious woman, and, although
abont 69 years of age, managed to support
herself by aorkiog for people ia the neigh
borhood. Her husband, Mr. J. Statts, dud
last fall, and the old lady had ouly one
known relative, a daoghtei in San Fran
ciaco, to whom a telegram ha been sent,
apprising her of the death of . her mother.
The Railroad Commission.
This Is what the La Grande Chronicle
says of the slatus of the commission :
The question as to how the railroad
commission matter was disposed of is not
yet clear. There was no election of com
missioners tor the ensuing biennial term
and it would naturally follow tbat the
former locambents will bold . over, as
they have no successors who have "been
elected and qualified." Aud then there
is said to have been no appropriation
made for the payment of the commission
ers' salaries for the next two years, and
notwithstanding the fact that their job is
an easy one, it will be rather inconveni
ent to serve.without pay. Aa a mutter of
fact it ia the salary which prompted the
commissioners to consent to serve tbe
dear people, and without the $10.00u
which goes with the office it is difficult
to find good men to fill the place. The
way is open for the present board to con
tinue in office and then go before the
courts for reimbursement for their ser
vices, or lay their claims before the next
session pi the legislature.

A Uhaatlv Discovery-
YetWday men at work on the tish whee's
(u the bcacb cbove the city, in an embank
inant which had washed out, found a homsn
skeleton. It was only partly exposed, and
there was nothing left of tho remains but
rl ahless bones. These - were embedded
quito deep in the sand, and appeared as
though they had been buried there. From
all appearances tbe skeleton had been io
the ground for years, aa the bones showed
that they had been subjected to the ele
ments for a long time. No eoijcture can
be formed as to the identity of the skeleton,
aod the poor fellow may have been
drowned or met bis death by foul means
B. fjreJim Cook was hanged in 1879 h
gave intimations Ihit some oitiztna of The
Dalles who had mysteriously disappeared
had been murdered, and were buried on the
beach. Soon after his disclosures were
made a skeleton was found in the stni, and
this may be another of ihe victims. There
waa a time in the history of The Dalle
when law and order were not respected,
and the washing away of the beach, as hap
pened daring the last fl d, may bring some
thing to light which are bidden now.
to suppose that an imitation offers
the customer any guarantee like
the original does. Take Cotiolene
for example. The Fairbank Co.
discovered it, perfected it, and
spent thousands in making its
merits known. It is plainly to
their interest to make and keep, it
what it is to-day the most popu
lar shortening m the world.
But when you come
jo accept
these guarantees all disappear,
and the housekeeper is at the
mercy of an imitator who deals
on others' reputation and who
profits only by others loss.
To ensure having good cook-
in and healthful lood stick
right to Cottolenb and let all
imitations severely alone.

. Coasting oo Palm Leaves,
Wellesley college gills are having gay
times nowadays, and if you see any of them in
town with battered cheeks, skinned boscs and
bruised bands you need ask bo questions, for
they have been coasting! Splendid opportu
nities there are for coasting at WelleSley; there
are plenty of bills and of room right there on
the grounds. I was greatly amused when they
told me about sliding down that hill exactly in
front of the college on dustpans! It- all came
about tnis way:
One inventive genius did not have a sled
and did not know where to borrow one; but the
crust was perfect and of short duration, so while
she stood, with her task of sweeping just con
eluded, with dustpan iu hand, the thought
"Why not use this dustpan?" came like an in
spiration, and out she skipped to the hill and
down she sped, seated in state on ber dustpan.
Tbe news spread and the craze grew until
every dustpan on the premises was well worn
out. After that, palm leaf fans were pressed
into service, and it is whispered that pillows
have now and then proved the most agreeable
and satisfactory of conveyances

Ueafnesa Cannot Ba Cured
By local applications as Ibey cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to euro .deafness.
and tbat is by constitutional' remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of tbe mucous lining ol tbe eustach
ian tube. When this tube is inflamed
yon bave a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is tbe result, and unless tbe in
flammation can be taken ont and this tube
restored to its normal, condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by cutarrb, which Is
nothing but an inflamed condition of tbe '
mucous surfaces.
We will giye Une Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
