Great Britain Will Press Her
Indemnity Demands.
BRUTAL ASSAULT
The Aged Mother of Mr. Parnell
Found Wounded and Uncon
scious by the Roadside.
Dnrrant Fonnd Guilty by the Coroner's
Jury of the Murder of Miss Wil
liams the Evidence is Said to
be Very Convincing.
Washington, April 19. Officials
and diplomats regard the answer of
Lord Kimberly to Nicaragua, made
yesterday, as bringing the British
Kicaraguan question to a critical state.
It is considered certain that Great
Britain will now proceed to collect the
debt.
The British mode of action against
Nicaragua, it is believed, will be by a
pacinc blockade ot all .Nicaragua a
ports, tnus crippling local commerce
but not interfering witn the United
States or other foreign commerce.
The latest information received here
shows that Great Britain can at once
bring two formidable fleets for block
ading purposes, one on the Pacific side
and the other on the Atlantic coast.
Two fleets, 19 ships in all, are variousiv
disposed, but all could oe rendezvoused
lor a demonstration off the coast.
SIKS. PARNELL WOUNDED.
Found by the Roadside in an Unconscious
Condition.
BOHDENTOWN. N. J., April 19. Mrs.
Delia T. Parnetl, mother of the late
Charles Stewart Parnell, who lives at
Ironside, overlooking the Delaware
river, near here, was iound bleeding
and unconscious late last night by
Charles Casey, son of a farmer who has
charge of the farm at ironside.
While descending the hill which
morks the boundary of the property
formerly occupied by Mr. Parnell's
father, young Casey heard moans.
Hurrying to the spot he found Mrs.
Parnell lying beside .'the fence with
her face covered with blood. By her
side were two small pieces of fence
paling, about three feet long, and a
brick. Help was obtained and she was
carried to the home ol J) armer Casey.
Dr. W. H. Shipps, who was hastily
summoned, made an examination, and
found that -besides several bruises
about her face the woman had a lacer
ated wound on the right side of her
head. Mrs Parnell is unconscious,
and because of her advanced age her
condition is regarded as critical. "
The authorities are unable to deter
mine whether she was assaulted or fell
and received the injuries. Her hand
bag was found beside the railroad track
near by, wit-h the pocketbook missing
and her papers scattered in all direc
tions. This circumstance lends prob
ability to the theory that she was
brutally assaulted and robbed. Mrs.
Parrell frequently came to this place
at night and remained until a late hour.
She was here last night.
At noon Mrs. Parnell still lies in an
unconsious state. The authorities are
convinced she was assaulted and robbed
and have sent telegrams to all near-by
cities and towns asking that a look out
be kept for a man of medium height
with-a -smooth face,. -wearing a light
overcoat and a Derby hat, who was seen
in the vicinity about the time the
assault is believed to have been com
mitted. Mrs. Parnell's house, . on the hill
about a mile from Bordentown, is
known as "Ironsides." It is a big old
two-story frame structure, and was
built by her father many years ago.
It is as dreary a place as one could im
agine. The aged woman had no close
acquaintances in Bordentown, and
previous to 1890 had been living in des
titution. In that year congress granted
her a pension of $50 per month.
DCRRANT HELD.
The Coroner's Jury Find Dnrrant Guilty
of the Murder of Miss Williams.
San Francisco, April 19. The cor
oner's jury shortly before noon ren
dered a verdict declarinig Durrani
guilty of the murder of Minnie Wil
liams, The usual crowd of curiosity-seekers
was present when the inquest was re
sumed this morning. Durrant and his
attorneys were also present.
Elmer Wolf, the young man whose
statements have been questioned re
cently, was recalled to the stand and
offered to produce witnesses to sub
stantiate all he had said previously in
regard to his movements on the night
Minnie Williams was murdered, but
the coroner declined the offer,, and
both that official and the chief of po
lice said that they were satisfied with
Wolf's statements' and did not believe
he was connected with the crime.
Two of Durrant's comrades in the
National Guard company were exam
ined, and said that on the afternoon of
the night that Minnie Williams was
murdered they saw Durrant loitering
about the ferry at the foot of Market
street, and talked to him. They said
Durrant told them he did not expect to
be at the armory that night, and he
asked them to respond to his name at
roll-call.
Dr. Bartlett, who conducted the au
topsy, testified that Minnie Williams
died of asphyxiation, and the result of
having part of her clothing forced
down her throat by the murderer, and
that the knife wounds found on various
parts of her body were inflicted after
death. He also testified that the girl
had been outraged, and that previous
to the time of the tragedy she had led
a blameless life.
Several other witnesses were exam
ined on minor matters, and about 11
o'clock the coroner announced that he
had no more testimony to offer, though
he called Durrant to take the stand
and the latter left his seat as if to pre
sent himself for examination, andthen
looked toward his attorneys, who ad
vised him not to speak, and no further
attempt was made to question him.
The jury did not occupy an hour in
deliberation, and returned a verdict
before noon, charging Durrant with
the murder of Minnie Williams. It
was the case of her death only that was
being investigated. The case of the
murder of Blanche Lamont will be
taken up later.
Durrant awoke this morning in a
cheerful and even flippant frame of
mind. He laughed and cracked jokes
with the prison officials, to whom he
has hitherto shown intense reserve, and
when Captain Douglas entered the
prison for the purpose of escorting the
prisoner to the inquest, Durrant
greeted the captain pleasantly, and
smiled as the handcuffs were snapped
upon his wrists.
Chief Crowley said-today: "The evi
dence against Durrant Is clear and con
vincing, and I am fully satisfied of his
guilt. We shall prove beyond a
shadow of a doubt that he met and
murdered Miss Williams, and I have
no hesitation in saving that the evi
dence in the case of Blanch Lamont is
even stronger than in the former case."
Coroner Hawkins has decided to hold
the inquest in the case of Miss Lamont
onMond ay morning next.
Income-Tax Estimate.
Washington April 19 Commission
er Miller, of internal revenue bureau,
has sent the following letter to Secre
tary Carlisle; Telegraphic advices
received from collectors of the several
internal revenue districts indicate that
the aggregate amount of the income
tax, by the returns filed before the 16th
inst., will be about $14,365,000. De
layed returns and corrections it is be
lieved, will considerably increase the
amount. The total expenditure on ac
count oi worK, including the necessary
salaries and allowances, to the end of
the present fiscal year will not exceed
$135,000." The best judgment of the
treasury officials is that but for the ad'
verse decision of the supreme court the
amount would have been skju,ooo,uoo.
Waller Is in France.
Marseilles, April 20. The steamer
Dfmanntih, from the island of Madagas
car, has arrived here, having on board
John L. Waller, formerly United
States consul at Tamatave, who was
recently tried by court-martial and
sentenced to 20 years imprisonment
on a charge of having been a spy in the
interest of the Hovas.
WASHIGTON, April 20. While the
action by the French government will
only add to the amount of indemnity it
will be called upon to pay, should
Waller's friends show the charge
against him is baseless, his being
brought to France will facilitate the
efforts of the state department to de
velop the facts, as the department can
communicate directly with Eustis. in
stead of being obliged to adopt the
tedious course of acting through an
inferior consular office in Madagascar,
out of reach of cable communication.
Mr. Eustis has been instructed to pur
sue the matter to an end, and make a
thorough examination of all facts at
tending the punishment of this Ameri
can citizen, lie will also make special
examination into the legality, under
treaty stipulation, of the trial of a
citizen of a friendly nation by court-
martial insteor ol the regular civil
tribunals, as is customary, and, perhaps
absolutely" essential. Moreover, the
case involves the right of France to
exercise jurisdiction over the internal
affairs of Madagascar, from which she
appears to have been expressly ex
cluded by the treaty of 1885.
There can be no deubt that the
Waller incident , will be one of the
most difficult the administration has
had to contend with in its treatment
of foreign affairs, and that fact is fully
realized here. The principles involved
are of the utmost importance, and
should the statements of Waller's
friends be well-founded, the govern
ment of the United States, under no
circumstances, can admit the correct
ness of the position of the French
officials, without thereby admitting its
indisposition or inability to protect our
cisizens in foreign countries from op
pression and ill-treatment. The in
formation reaching Washington gives
the details of the charge under which
Wallet was convicted as
v-
A Tragedy in Oregon.
Arlington, Or., April 21. A shoot
ing affray took place between 5 and 6
o'clock this morning at the residence
of Harry Clay, on Rock creek, 20 miles
south of here, resulting in the death
of Henry Grider. Grider had been
working for Mr. Clay for about a year,
and had been looked up as a faithful,
law abiding citizen. Recently, how
ever, Grider seems to have gained the
impression that he owned the ranch,
and was going to run things to suit
himself. He had made threats of .kill
ing Mr. Clay, and had been carrying
a revolver for some time. This morn
ing the two men had some little dis
pute about matters pertaining to the
ranch, and, without provocation, Gri
der drew a revolver and fired two shots
at Mr. Clay without effect. He was
following him up, with the evident in
tention of killing him, when Mr. Clay
ran-into the house and procured a shot
gun., He emptied one of the barrels
into Grider's side below the left arm,
killing him instantly. He then gave
himself up to the authorities. He will
be given a preliminary trial tomorrow
morning. Mr. Clay has a fine ranch
on Rock creek, and deals extensively
in stock, having recently made a large
shipment to Chicago. He is highly
esteemed as a peaceful, law-abiding
citizen. Although the shooting on
his part was clearly in self-defense,
the occurrence is greatly deplpred by
himself and his many friends.
A Quintuple Lynching.
Greenville, Ala., April 22. The
murder of Watt Murphy, which oc
curred a few days ago, near his home,
about 14 miles west of this place, was
the prelude to a quintuple lynching.
Last Sunday night or early Sunday
morning four men and two women, all
negroes, were arrested oy the neigh
bors of the murdered man. They ac
knowledged their guilt. The parties
were all in the- field together when a
dispute arose, which ended by one ne
gro knocking Murphy on the head with
the limb of a tree. The others beat
him into insensibility, after which
they carried the body to a log heap.
The women hastily gathered brush and
Siled it upon the body and fired the
eap. One of the women says the
victim turned over after the hair had
burned off his head. Wood was added
to the pile until everything was con
sumed, but the heart and liver.
The murderers were: cai Johnson,
Fred Douglass, Jim Calhoun, Sim Jeri
gan, Mary Davis and a woman called
Jennie. aim jerigan, it is said,
who struck the blow which felled
Murphy, escaped after being taken in
to custody. l
Wheat Traders Were Wild!
New York. April 22. Transactions
in wheat this morning about equalled
the heaviest entire day's trading this
year, being 13,525,000 bushels, and the
advance of 2i cents in prices over Sat
urday was the biggest single jump the
market has had in months. Traders
were fairly crushed in their wild efforts
to execute buying orders. The price
fluctuated, violently, and soon after
opening began to slide down again,
only increasing the excited feeling.
it is generally conceded we advance
was tne result oi ouu entnuBiasm,
which had at last broken loose in real
earnest, well backed up by outside sup
port. There was a lot of short stuff covered
and a good amount of switching done.
May opened 21 cents higher, at 65
cents, sold up to 651 cents, and back to
65 cents. Corn and ' oats made a quick
response to the rise in wheat, but sus
tained the sharp noon reaction.
Depends on This Conntr
Washington, April 19. The state
department has published the diplo
matic correspondence exchanged be
tween this government and Venezuela
relating to the boundary. Venezuela
makes it clear that she relies wholly
upon the United States' intervention
to secure a lair considration oi tne mat
ter. The Venezuelan minister of for
eign affairs in one of his dispatches
says: "The control by England of the
entrance to the mouth of our great
fluvial artery would expose to constant
peril the industry and commerce of a
large portion of the new world, and
would bring into ridicule the Monroe
doctrine." -
Klamath Falla-Ager Stage Held Up.
Klamath Falls, dr., April 19;
This morning the Klamath Falls-Ager
stage arrived . with an empty express
box and letter pouches. About 12
o'clock last night, at the foot of the
Topsy grade, Driver Lowe heard the
order, "Halt! Throw out the express
and letter pouches. Now get out, take
this ax, cut them open and return them
without their contents."
The orders were obeyed, and then the -highwayman
ordered the driver to
lose no time in making himself scarce.
A drummer, the only passenger,
handed out $15. The robber was not
seen, remaining in ambush within
three feet of the stage.

REVOLT IN CUBA
Report That the Cuban Revolution
ists Have Been Defeated and the
Rebellion Quelled.
Sensational Report that a Bloody Shoe
Belonging to Dr. liigson Has Been
Found in the Place Where the
Girls Were Murdered.
.BERLIN, April zo The evening
edition of the Kodnische Zeitunq con
tains this statement: "In view of the
pressure exercised by the Japanese
war party, Germany urged Japan at
the beginning of March to be moderate
in her terms of peace, adding that a
demand for the cession of mainland
territory would be especially-calcula
ted to induce European intervention.
When it appeared from the reports of
the conditions offered by Japan that
she was little disposed to follow the
friendly advice, initial steps were taken
March 23 to establish an understanding
with the European powers. A com
plete agreement was reached by Ger
many and Russia, and the co-operation
of France was secured. The three
powers will now proceed to take joint
steps with China to protect their in
terests. The territorial changes at
which Japan aims will be the first
point kept in view. The object is to
prevent Japan from entwining herself
so tightly arouncfvnina as to be able.
in case of need, to shut off the latter
entirely from Europe. Such an injury
to their interests the powers desire to
avoid in good time. Japan has shown
hitherto such circumspection that she
may be expected now also to desist
from drawing the knot too tight."
In referring to the European concert.
the Aoelnisclie zeitunq ignores England.
In London,- it says, it is understood
the government is seeking its own
ends by separate action, and is dealing
with both Japan and China.
A semi-omcial communication to the
Hamburqer correspondent says that
Germany desires to see the treaty of
peace modified, wherever it tends to
give Japan commercial advantages
over other countries in China. Ger
many is said to be litte interested in
the political and strategical considera
tions, even where they take the lorm
of territorial agrandizement, and to be
willing to leave action in these matters
to the other powepe.
The Uoersan Conner also insists upon
the necessity of Germany's commercial
equality with Japan in the Chinese
market.
The Xord Deutsche AHegemeine Zeitung
says today: ' "Uermany never had any
idea of abstaining from intervention in
khe east. Throughout the war she has
been fully able to avert the great dan
ger that might arise tor Europe, both
politically and commercially, as a re
sult of the new order of things in East
Asia.. Germany's share in the Euro
pean interests concerned is so impor
tant that the government would be
guilty of serious neglect in case it
should not vindicate our claims with
firmness and determination to the full
extent." .
Victorious Spaniards.
Santiago De Cuba, April 20. Col
onel aantocildes reports from Man-
zanillo, where he is in command, that
April 8 he sent out 900 troops in three
columns to San Vincente, to search for
insurgents. At Pulta Gorda they, en
countered and put to flight a small
party. The fight lasted but a few
minutes. The insurgents lost three
killed, all their horses and most of their
arms. April 9 the same troops defeated
the insurgents at Sabanagua. Three
insurgents were killed and one Spanish
soldier was wounded. Two days later
a party of soldiers, who were scouting
near Bodega Chinos, came upon a large
band. They killed four of the insur
gents and put the rest to flight, losing
only two men wounded. Later on in
the day. the same troops overtook
another . band at Santa Lucas. The
fight was shorter, and almost bloodless.
It ended with the defeat of the insur
gents and the capture of their arms,
horses and provisions by the Spanish
iorce.
Examination of Durrant.
San Francisco, April 22. District
Attorney Barnes in the preliminary
examination of Theodore Durrant, for
the murder of Minnie Williams, before
Judge Conlan this morning, Btated that
the prosecution would put 28 witnesses
on the stand, several of whom had not
testiffed at the inquest, and that the
examination would last at least three
days, probably more. The prosecution
is keeping back a good deal of cumu
lative evidence.
The defense is stated, will dispute
that the purse fouud in-Durrant's over
coat pocket belonged to the deceased,
but the prosecution says the evidence
on this point is overwhelmingly in
their favor. A baker named Young,
of Alameda, will testify that the cellu
loid tablet found in the purse was given
by him to Miss Williams on the day
she met her deatn.
For hours before the preliminary ex
amination commenced in Judge Con
lan s court, a crowd began to gather
and a squad of police were stationed at
the entrance to the hall to preserve
order. Judge Conlan 's courtroom was
crowded to sunocation, ana policemen
were stationed in different- parts of the
room on the -lookout for numerous
cranks who have written threatening
letters to the judge. Court opened at
11 o'clock.
When the defendant arrived in court
all eyes were turned upon him. The
prisoner looked pale and concerned,
but showed no emotion.
A photographer exhibited several
photographs of scenes in the church,
and two large pictures of Minnie Wil
liams, showing her wounds, and the
work of the physicians were exhibited
and attracted great attention. They
presented a revolting sight.
Mrs. Morgan, with whom Miss
Williams lived in Alameda, was called
to the stand. She said that she last
saw Minnie Williams on the morning
of the 12th. inst., and that the deceased
had told her she was going to Mrs.
Voy's house. She knew Durrant.
He had called at her house last sum
mer and had stayed half an hour.
She could not identify the faces shown
in the photographs as that of Miss
Williams. Charles H. Morgan, the
husband of the preceding witness, said
that the girl was counted as one of the
family. He could not identify the faces
shown in the photos either. He also
failed to identify the purse found in
Durrant's overcoat pocket.
Here the name of A E WilliamB, the
father of the dead girl, was called, but
in his place a young woman rushed to
the stand and said that no one
should testify before her. She gave
the name of Williamson, and said that
she would be the one to judge
Durrant and ordered him released.
The police tried to remove her, but she
would not let them, and left the stand
voluntarily after some words. She
handed an incoherent letter to the
clerk, She said she was sent by God
to judge Durrant.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
JOHN WALLER IN PARIS.
He Was Arrested For Violating an Order
of the French Government.
Paris, April 22. A correspondent
of Temps at Tamatave, island of Mada
gascar, states that John T. Waller,
formerly-United states consul, was in
dicted on two charges, namely, viola
tion of the order of the French
admirality governing correspondence,
and secondly, writing to the enemy,
The evidence, the correspondent adds
showed that Waller entrusted to an
officer of the steamer a bulky letter
which was posted at Natal, addressed
to M. Tescer, merchant, Antananarivo,
via Vatomandry. Unfortunately, it
appears, the English mail was not
dropped at Vatomandry, but was
landed at Tamatave, where the envel
ope attracted the attention of authori
ties, who opened it and found it con
tained particulars regarding the
strength of the French garrison, the
number of sick, important outposts.
etc. Also an enclosure addressed to
Waller's friend, E. Underwood Harvey,
editor of the Madagascar Neirs, asking
him to insert it in that paper.
This enclosure, it is stated contained
abominable calumnies regarding the
conduct of the French soldiers in Mad
agascar, and denounced two of Waller's
compatriots, honorable American mer
chants, who were going to Antanan-
arvio as spies, in pay of the French,
The trial of Waller lasted only 3 hours.
Waller appealed, but the sentence was
conhrmed.
According to the correspondent of
Temps it was a son-in law of Waller,
Paul Bray, a native of Texas, not his
nephew, who accompanied him aboard
the Djemiuih. Jray was expelled from
Madagascar for constant hostility to
the French authorities and troops and
for complicity with his father-in-law in
communication with the enemy. He
was handed ever to the American
consul at Zanzibar.
The Minister's Shoe.
San Francisco," April 20. Snugly
tucked away among the exhibits in the
Williams-Lamont murder cases, in the
office of the chief of police, is a shoe
that has on its sole several dark spots
of sanguinary hue. The police believe
. . , . i . . - r i T1T111I
it was tne diooo oi luarmn wiuiams
that made those dark stains;
that her murderer while fiendishly
slashing her tender flesh, stepped into
splashes of blood on the floor. The
shoe was found by the police in their
search of Emanuel church for clues,
and not nntil tonight did they admit
that the shoe was in their possession.
The shoe belongs to the Rev. George
Gibson, pastor of the church. In his
study, which is located in the church
building, the pastor had a pair of slip
pers and two pairs of shoes. . When
the police searched the place they
found one shoe missing. They looked
for and found it. The dark stains on
the sole attracted their attention, and
they Quietly took it to the chief s office
for expert examination. The finding
of this shoe does not necessarily im
plicate the pastor, for the murderer of
the girls was one laminar witn tne
church, and must have known the
shoes were there. It is possible the
murderer put on these . shoes after
Marian Williams was unconscious to
complete his murderous work.

his life. He was engaged in cleaning
out the seining grounds near r lavei.
While under water in a diving suit.
the air pumo became useless, with the
result that Johnson was almost suf
focated before he was brought to the

WORK BEGUN.
Mr. J. H. Shearer, the Contractor, Pushing
Work Fordward as Rapidly as Possible.
Antelope Herald.
Mr. J. H. Sherar, the contractor,
Isaac Hixson. who represents Hon.
Robt. Mavs of The Dalles, and about
sixteen Indians commenced work on
the new Currant Creek road last
Wednesday, and have been working
like trojans thereon ever since. Mr.
Sherar informs us that all the money
which was collected in The Dalles for
htis purpose about a year ago will have
all been expended on this road by the
1st of next week, and unless $500 more
can be raised he cannot complete the
work reauired. Mr. Sherar has al
ready spent more than his proportion
ate share of money in the enterprise,
and is properly of the opinion that
others should now make an effort to
assist him. He says he intends writ
ing at once to the county judge, and
will ask for an appropriation out of the
county road fund with which to com
plete this road. As it will benefit The
Lalle8 in particular and an oi wasco
county in general, we have no doubt
but that the county court will make
the necessary appropriation without
any hesitancy, rne citizens oi mis
section should da their share in help
ing the good work along. Either cash
or labor would be acceptable. Mr.
Shearer thinks it will not take more
than two weeks longer to complete the
work, if the necessary money is raised.
By all means let the road be completed
this spring, even if it does require a
little contribution from each citizen.
Mr. Reed aa Linguist.
If bv any lucky stroke of fortune Tom

to occupy that office. Mr. Reed, is pas
sionately fond of the study of lancuac-es.
Some years ago he took up French, and
during tne r lity-flrst congress, while
acting as czar over the house of repre

nary storms of cyclonic severity, found
time three dava a waalt to o-o tn anhnnl
of languages for his lesson in French.
Later he took up Italian and is now able
to converse fluently in that language.
At the present time he is atud vino- Snan-

to the United States during Mr. Reed's

command of this tongue a convetent

REPUBLICAN CLUBS.
The Meeting to Be Held In Portland Will
Be a Grand Political Event.
Great preparations are being made
all over the state to attend the meet
ing of the State Republican Club at
Portland, May 22d. Arrangements
have been made with the O. R. & N.
Co. for a special rate of one and one
fifth fare. When the ticket to Port
land is purchased at the regular rate
the purchaser requests the agent to
give him a certificate. This certificate
is handed to Secretary H. L. Wells, of
the state club, at Portland, who coun
tersigns it. The holder is then enti
tled to purchase a return ticket at one
fifth fare at any time within three days
after the meeting. This rate applies
to visitors, as well as delegates, and
the secretary will countersign the cer
tificates of all visitors. This should
assure a large attendance from Eastern
Oregon. Every club in this county
should elect a full set of delegates, and
if they cannot attend they jean send a
proxy by some one who is going either
from that club or some other, and thus .
the club can receive credit for being
represented. Upwards of 300 delegates
have already been elected. A register
of the Republican party in Oregon is
being compiled by the secretary, which
will contain the names properly ar
ranged of all delegates to the various
state club meetings to the state con
vention, members of the state - and
county central committees, nominees
for state, county and legislative offices,
and others who have been and are act
ive working Republicans in all sec
tions of the state. - It will be the roll
of honor of the party and will serve to
stimulate pride and enthusiasm in its
achievements. The work of organiz
ing new clubs and putting old ones on
a more permanent basis is progressing
all over the state, and before the next
campaign opens the Republican party
will be better organized than ever be
fore. WEATHER REPORT.

tilla county; it amounted to from .02
to .34 of an inch. The temperature
has ranged from 34 to 75 degrees in the
Columbia river valley and from 28 to
66 degrees to the south; several light .
frosts occurred in the valley and inju
rious frosts to the south.
Crops. There is a general desire
for more rain. The western part of
Wasco county and the northern por
tion of Umatilla county have so far
sufficient moisture; but more will be
soon needed. In Sherman and Mor
row counties the need of rain is al
ready very marked. The fall sown
grain is quite healthy and growing
well, spring sown grain is not in
good condition. It needs rain. The
frosts have done little, if any, damage.
In the valley the frosts were not severe
inough to do damage, ana to tne south
the fruit buds are not advanced suffi
ciently to be damaged. There is an
exception to this statement in south
ern Gilliam county, where frosts have
possibly done damage. I ne iruic win
make a good crop this year; the cereal
crop will be materially deficient unless
general and copious rains occur.
Warm rains will insure good crops.
Without general rain there are indica
tions already ol snort grain crops.
While showers usually occur during
May and June, and sometimes general -heavy
rains occur, yet the conditions
this year are such that a dry season
appears to be probable.

. The Social Glass.
This play is in five acts, and as a
temperance drama is said to excen
"Tea Nights in a Bar-Room." The
rendition of the play will be perfect in
every regard, and great care has been
exercised in placing it on the boards.
Every part has been assigned with re
gard to adaptability, and each charac
ter, so far as amateurs are entitled to
the term, is a specialist. It has been
performed before crowded houses in
different towns in the state, and its
rendition has won rounds of applause
from the audience, The proceeds will
be for the benefit of the public schools
of Sherman county, which should in
sure a liberal patronage. The Dalles
Orchestra Union, that excellent band
of musicians, will furnish interludes.
The Highest Water.
Dr. H. A. Leavens is the pioneer of
the Locks. He was there when Lieut.
Sheridan marched to the relief of the
settlers during the massacre of 1856.
In his opinion the high water of last
year was excelled during a former sea
sin, but at what time he does not know.
When the government engineers were
surveying the route of the canal in
1875, he pointed out to them a pitch .
nine loir which had been washed on
ground not touced by last year's flood.
It was a different species of tree from
those in the neighborhood, and must
have been carried there by high water
in the Columbia. From this fact the
doctor is positive that at some prior
date the water was higher than in
1894.
