SATURDAY JUNE 1, 1895 RAILROADS. The New York Sun has the follow y Ing in the issue of May 20th, regarding . the conflict between steam and elec- tricity: -'. ' "We must suppose that one of the main subjects of interest at the Inter- - national Railroad congress to be held in London, at which there are to be - many American delegates, will be the ' substitution of electricity for steam as v a motor power, upon long lines of rail .. " r road. The question Is a pressing one, '.'- and cannot be got rid of" or lost sight " of. The trolley is already used upon hundreds of short lines and upon many of very considerable length. Before - the use of the electric motor can be extended to all railroad lines, there are a number , of questions that must be settled, more definitely than they have yet been. ; The best chance yet ... offered for. their consideration wiM be - at the London Congress. ' "We have spoken repeatedly of. the conflict of interests between the trol- ' ley companies and the steam railroad companies in Connecticut. The dis pute there has been carried into the courts and into the legislature, with results that have not been satisfactory to either party, and least so to the party of electricity. In Pennsylvania, : also-, the supreme court of the state has put the trolley at a disadvantage in so far as long-distance lines are con- cerned. In New Jersey, likewise, there is an important legal dispute be- tween the largest railroad company ; there and an electric company desirous of running a" trolley between New York and Philadelphia. There have ' been disputes of a similar, kind in sev- eral. other states. .. The case against the trolleys, in most instances, is - grounded upon the vested rights of the steam companies. "The dispute ought not to be con tinued any longer tban may he neces ' sary for the determination of the " points at issue. " If electricity is more efficient, 'more economical, and other wise more satisfactory than steam as a railroad motor, the fight 'against its general adoption cannot be. of any avail in the long run.- The'existing ' . railroad companies will either have to make use of it or give place to the new companies that use it. There is no sense in delaying the change, if it be . in truth a practicable and a desirable change. "The London congress will be a body that can render a weighty judg ment upon the relative value of the two motive powers for long-distance railroads.' - - - ITEHS IN BRIEF. From Satudsy's Dsilv. - Dr. Dietrich, of Dufur. was in the city yesterday." He drilled the hospi .tal corps Thursday night. The corner grocery of J. B. Crossen had on sale today green peas, aspara gus, onions, radishes, spinach, turnips, - ripe cherries and strawberries, oranges . ad lemons. , .. . The Dalles takes the lead in early fruits and vegetables, and todav. from . the garden of Mrs. Eben, were -dug new . potatoes. We do not believe any por tion of the northwest can equal this. v Rain began falling last night, and ... has continued all day. It is expected ' 'the rairihaa extended over a large - "portion of Wasco county. This will . , be of inestimable benefit to growing grain.. . - , ,'. The following deed was filed with ' the county clerk yesterday:. Robert ' - Mays and wife and L. E. Crowe and .-. - wife to T. C Dallas; lot 5 blk C, in first addition west to town of Hood . River; $250. . A telephone message received today . from the Locks -says rain has fallen steadily there, and the grounds are - not in condition for a picnic For this reason the excursion tomorrow will be postponed for two weeks. Tickets purchased will be good for June 9th. - The record of the police court this morning was up to its usual gauge. There were two arrests made last " night, and these were turned over to the mercy of the recorder when he opened his office for business today, ana were nnea in tne usual amount. Mrs. J." B. Crossen and daughter fcmiiy, and Mrs. Crossen s mother, Mrs. i, Mamn, were passengers on . ; the Regulator this morning to Portland. . Mrs. Crossen and daughter will visit . friends in the metropolis, and Mrs. ; Marlin will go to Oregon City, where v she will spend a few day with old ac quaintances. Jesse Brown was in Corvallis Satur day and reports that Robert Jones, liv ing on Beaver creek, killed an elk re cently that dressed 370 pounds. It was started back in the mountains by dogs which ran it down onto Pete Rickard's ' place, where it was shot. Mr. Brown ; claims this to be the first elk killed in his neighborhood for twenty-five years. A young man ' named Thos. Lo- renzen, at work for Mr. Vanbibber, ' received severe bruises last Thursday by the horse which he was riding fall- ing on him. He was held under the ; saddle for a while; but managed to ex tricate himself without suffering seri ous injury. At present he is able to ' walk around, but is yet quite lame. Glacier: Canby Post, G. A. R., of ' Hood River, has an applicant for mem bership from a man 85 years old. . Edwin Gorton is his " name, and he lives at Wyeth, where he has resided ; upon a homestead for five years, and in a few days he will make final proof : before the register and receiver at the Oregon City land office. Mr. Gorton i served a year in tne litn umo in' fantry. He- is a native of Massa ' chusetts and says he can remember his lather's return from the war of 1812. on, J. L. Story, E. B. Dufur, H. H. Riddell, J. B. Condon, Frank Menefee, G. W. Phelps, J. H. Cradlebaugh, N. H. Gates and J. W. Condon, The Dalles; Hiram U. Mitchell, Portland. There were about 2000 sheep at the stockyards of R. E. Saltmarshe & Co., in this city today. They were being shipped to Chicago, and were the prop erty of McClellan Bros, of Antelope. Mr. J. Roth has a garden west of the city, near the Catholic cemetery, in which he has some very. choice berries and vegetables. The strawberries in his garden, grown without irrigation, are most delicious in flavor. The police court was not very ac tively engaged in business this morn ing. Two arrests were made last night of persons in an inebriated con dition, and they were brought. before the recorder and sentenced to pay a fine of $5 each. The following constituting the grand jury were empanelled today, and, under instructions of the court, retired to ex amine into the affairs of the county: Wm. Floyd, foreman; D. M. Farring ton, Thos. Johns, Frank Leiblein, Joel W. Koontz, Henry Simmons and B. F. Laughlin. The body of Mrs. F. E. Robinson was exhumed at Klamath Falls last week for shipment to Santa Rosa' for final interment. It required ' the united efforts of eight men to lift the casket from the grave, as the body had become at least partially solidified by the action of the chalk in the ceme tery ground. The casket with its con tents weighed at least 700 pounds, and no odor was emitted after boring a hole in the outer boxing. From Tuesday's Daily. The winds blew cool today. The street sprinkler is still in requi sition. The meeting of the fire department to be held this evening has been post poned until further notice. The Dalles tent, Knights of the Maccabees, will meet next Friday eve ning in Fraternity hall, at 8 o'clock. A full attendance of members is re quested. At the stockyards of R. E. Salt marshe & Co. there were fourteen car loads of sheep shipped to Chicago, one carload of cattle to Portland and one of hogs to Troutdale today. Tickets for the excursion to Multno mah Falls and Oneonta Gorge will be on sale at any of our leading business houses. The former ticket, which read to Bonneville, will be good for this trip. ' . -Joseph Kelly, at the Cascade Locks yesterday, was found guilty of assault and battery, and sentenced by Justice Birnie to five days in the county jail. He was brought to the city last even ing, and now languisheth. The exciting drama of Damon and Pythias will be placed on the boards in this city as soon as the characters can ' be placed and rehearsals had. Members of the local dramatic club, under the leadership of Mr. William Sasmus, will render the drama. Telegram: Soon after June 30th those Democrats who have been bawling for the scalp and head of J. Frank Davis, chief deputy for Collector of Internal Revenue Blackman, will be satisfied. Sometime during the first half of July Mr. Davis will be ousted from office; that is, he will be permitted to resign. ' Eugene Guard: Frank Cochran, of Brownsville, a few days ago was hunt ing for a cow when his dog drove up a deer. As it ran past, the boy, only 12 years of age, threw a noose over the deer's head and fastened the other end to an oak grub. As the deer proved to be blind it will be of very little value as a pet. There were more than 5000 persons on the river bank to. witness the cere- mony attending the baptism of A. D. I Henderson and Di-anK Jeitrey near ; Murphysboro, Illinois. The reason -for the large attendance arises from the fact that these men are guilty of the murder of James Towle and sen tenced to hang Friday, May 31. The men professed religion a few days ago and united with the Baptist church. Up to Tuesday, as the dispatches show, Michigan has had six frosts dur ing the month of May. Apples, peach es and plumbs have been badly dam aged. Throughout northern Ohio four-fifths of the crop has been "ruined. In New York the mercury has been below the freezing point four times in ten days, In some sections of Nebraska the en CIBCCIT COCK!.

Court convened this morning at the usual hour. The case of -state of Oregon vs. Dan Maloney and Chas. Snelling was call ed, and jurors were examined for the panel. The following were chosen on the first venire: C. H. Hall, A. G. Hall, W. H. Sharp and J. W. Atwell. Another venire for fifteen were issued, and the following chosen: H. Metz, John Casey and. John Roth. The second venire for twenty jurors was issued, but it had not been returned up to the time of going to press. The following proceedings in equity were had: Sarah Ann C. Warner vs. J. O. Warner; decree of divorce granted and custody of minor children awarded to plaintiff. In the case of Jacobsen vs. Jacobsen the request for alimony by defendant and custody of minor child by plaintiff were denied by the court. The grand jury in the cases of State of Oregon vs. Peter . "Valentine, and State vs. James Richardson returned not a true bill.. State of Oregon vs. Mattie A. Oiler was dismissed on mo tion of district attorney. The greatest economy of force is main tained by this means, and he claims that an engine constructed on his plans, of the same dimensions,has very much more power than one constructed on those now used. Mr. Parrott has devoted fifteen years to perfecting' his mechanical apparatus, and now has an engine that will work a complete revolution in machinery. A practical test was made of the engine this after noon, and it worked to the complete satisfaction of those who witnessed the experiment. . A PLEASANT AFFAIR. A Serenade and Presentation of a Gold Watch to a Member of the Or-, chestra Union. A very pleasant event, and one that will long be remembered by the per sons present, happened at the : resi dence of Dr. O. C. Hollister last even ing about 8 o'clock. Miss M. G. Hol lister, the doctor's sister, and one of the teachers in our public schools, is about to leave the city for Chicago, where she will remain for some years. She has been the piano accompanist of The Dalles Oachestra Union, and the members of the Orchestra band gave her a serenade on the eve of her de parture. But the musical notes were not the only evidence of their appre ciation of her worth as a musician and her efforts in conjunction with theirs to make the Orchestra Union a suc cess, and a substantial memento of their kindly feelings towards her was a gold watch and chain, which was presented her on this occasion Rev. W. C. Curtis, being a neighbor of Dr. Hollister's, was present last even ing, and made a very appropriate presentation speech. It was a com plete surprise to Miss Hollister; but the gift and the kindly feelings which it represented were not esteemed less on that account. Miss Hollister will leave tonight or tomorrow for the east, where she will visit her brother and sisters, and, perhaps, return to The Dalles in about two years. Was It Murder? PIONEER OF 1843. An Rarly Settler In Oregon Relates Some Interesting Facta Regardidg Dr. . McLoughlin. Mr. C. E. Chrisman called at the office this morning, and in conver sation we learned the fact that he ar rived in Oregon 51 years ago. He . i a i i . i n Fruit has suffered severely. ' P?yT8 we "goes cumpumeui, u . : . . . " l MuTmuhlin whn viu nna nf nt,npo'a In conversation with James G. Kid well, son of James Kidwell, who is supposed to have committed suicide at Baker City last week by taking poison, he seems to have doubts about his father, committing the deed, says an exchange. It is learned, he stated, that the old man had considerable money on his person the evening be fore his death, and when found had but a two-bit piece in his pocket. He advances the theory that his father was doped and robbed by someone and from the effects of the drug died. - He does not know how to explain the let ter found on the body but thinks it was a decoy, written by someone who knows the family, to throw off sus picion. The matter is to be thoroughly investigated, and if sufficient evidence is adduced to indicate murder, steps will be taken to bring to justice the guilty party or parties. Stealing Horses. Last Saturday night at the dead hour of midnight Geo. Sebring, who resides on Pine Creek, was awakened by the unusual barking of his watch dog, says the Long Creek Eagle, Get ting up and going to the window, he discovered a man near the house on horseback rounding up his horses and slowly driving them out of the pasture. Dressing himself quickly and arming himself with a shotgun he put out to welcome the thief. He succeeded in getting within 100 yards of the man without being discovered. The stranger caught sight of him and wheeling his riding animal spurred away. No sooner had he turned than the contents of the shotgun was dis charged at him, with no apparent effect than to cause the intruder to dis appear more rapidly. A Pioneer. Dr. O. W. Nixon, editor of the Chi- tire corn crop will be to plant over. The Pacific, northwest seems to be particularly favored this season. High School. Last night the closing exercises for the year of the junior class of The Dalles High School was held at the Baldwin opera house. There .was a noblemen. As a boy he recollects him going among the immigrants who had lately arrived from the east and sup plying their wants. He was very kind to children, and as a pleasant remem brance he recalls the incident of the doctor placing his- hand on his head and asking him pleasantly what he could do for "my little fellow." That winter, Mr. Chrisman says, the first cago Inter Ocean, now on a visit to the coast, was a pioneer of the Pacific northwest. He taught school at Mil waukie, six miles above Portland on vLthe Willamette, in . 1850, and was purser on the steamer Lot Whitcomb, tne nist steam ooat ouiit on tne uoium bia river. She made three trips a week between Milwaukie and Astoria. The only ' stopping places were Port land and Fort Vancouver. "At that time," the doctor said in a recent Interview, "Milwaukie was a powerful rival of Portland for suprem acy as a commercial center. The streets of Portland were so full of stumps that it took a sober man to drive through them- I expect to meet some oi my lormer pupils, now grow ing gray. Brm, J. P. Bell, Osaauxrtvmie, Kan. wife of the editor of The Graphic, the lead ing local paper of Miami county, writes "I team troubled, with. Heart dimeame for six years, severe palpitations, short ness of breath, together with such ex treme nervousness, that, at times I would walk the floor nearly ail night. We consulted the best medical talent. They said then ca m no Help for use, that I had organic disease of the heart for which there was no remedy. I had read your advertisement in The Graphic and a year ago, as a last resort, tried one bottle of Jhr. nilem Sew Cure for the Heart, which convinced me that there was true merit in it. 1 took three bottles each of the Heart Cure and Bestorative Nervine and It completely sured tne. X sleep well at night, my heart beats regularly and I have no more smothering spells. I wish to say to all who are suffering as I did) there's relief untold for them if they will only give your remedies Just one trial." Dr. Miles Heart Core is sold on a positive guarantee that the first bottle will oenefit. All droggisw sell It at 11, 0 Dottles for(5, or It will be sent, prepaid, on receipt of price by the Dr. Miles Medical 0c Elkhart, lad. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure I Restores Health Australian Lady Bugs. Mr. E. Schanno received this morn ing a number of Australian lady bugs from the StateBoard of Horticulture of California. This insect feeds on the San Jose scale, and has done good work in ridding California orchards of the pest. These bugs Mr. Schanno will turn loose in some of the orchards in this vicinity, and he has strong hopes that in a little while the scale will not be known in this vicinity. Our fruit and trees have been injured, and, in many instances, destroyed and ren dered unfit for market by this Insect, and the bugs will be given perfect free dom to feed on the scale. Suicide at Baker City. The dead body of James Kidwell was found in a stall in a livery stable in Baker City Wednesday morning, says the La Grande Chronicle. The coro ner's jury returned a verdict to the effect that death was caused by the self administration of alcoholic poison. The deceased was an early - settler at Walla Walla, where he has a family of grown children. He has recently been engaged in prospecting in the vicinity of Sparta. He leaves a wife who is at present a resident of Dayton, Wash. No heat Aphis This Tear. A Willamette valley exchange says: "Early in the spring many farmers re ported the wheat aphis present more or less in several localities. In con versation with a number of farmers the past few days we learn that very few of the bugs can now be seen, and the prospects are that the wheat crop will not be damaged by them. Indica tions point to a bountiful grain crop, and the advancing price of wheat adds la strong element of hope for better M; times this fall. V , . LAND TRANSFERS.

The weather was the best and the grounds in first class condition. Many visitors from the surrounding country and every body in the town attended the match. Early in the game there was some betting on the result; but after the third inning it was apparent to all that the Dufur nine were vastly overmatched owing, some say, to a disagreement among the players. Whatever the cause, the visiting club, to use a slang ' phrase, just "batted them off the diamond," and our in iormant says that naa uulur been in the best condition possible they would have had to play the best game ever played in tne county in order to win The visiting club was made up of prominent citizens oi yga v aiiey ana Wamie, and were warmly applauded at each brilliant play. This is the first time the Dufur club has been beaten, but the score of 75 to 13 will probably make up for some of their great victories. We have not the score or players at hand. Memorial Services. Yesterday being- the last Sunday pre ceding Memorial day a sermon .appro priate to tne occasion was delivered at the Congregational church last even ing. The edifice was filled with at tendants, and seats were reserved for members of the G. A. R. and W. R. C, who attended in large numbers. The address was one of Mr. Curtis' ablest efforts, and the sons' service was verv excellent, the choir, aside from its usual well-known vocalists, having some additions of local talent. It is very becoming that this day should always be remembered by appropriate exercises, and when proper celebration is not civen it will be evidence of the decay of American patriotism. The Berry Season. Strawberries ' have been ripe for' some time, and it will take several weeks to pick the crop and send it to the eastern market. The returns have been very encouraging, and Oregon strawberries are eagerly sought 'in citiesr east of the Rocky mountains. r Last year, by reason of the flood, the Derry naryest or Mood Kiver was al most a Total failure; -but this year' it will be more than usually remunera tive. A great many are now engaged in picking berries, and these will be employed lor many weeks yet. A HALF CENTURY AGO. Interesting Notes From an -Old Paper Printed in 1348. Mr. J. C. Baldwin has a copy of The Bee, a daily paper printed in Boston January 16, 1843. In the news columns is an account oi commodore Jones taking possession of Monterey, Calif., from the Mexicans, and, afterwards re linquishing it onhaving learned that war had not been declared between the United States and Mexico. It also contains a synopsis of the message of President Tyler to the senate, in refer ence to what had been done regarding out) (juiuiupu ueaij. xnis article on Washington news closes with a para- grapn noting tne fact that the "Ore- eon discussion had been postnoned." President Houston, of the republic of itutw, ib xueubiuueu as Having con vened congress. News from away out in the west is dated at Nashville, Tenn.. and the Pacific coast at that time was almost terra, incognito. It is quite in teresting to peruse this old paper, as it gives one an insigrht into affairs a half century ago, and as every journal re- nects the community in which it is published, this may be said of The Bee Improved Breeds of Sheep. The remainder of 9000 head of sheeD owned by Mr. Geo. A. Young, of Bake oven, were crossed over the Columbia to Klickitat county this moraine'. Tney were in nne condition, and no doubt after feeding: on the nutritious grasses of Klickitat county, will be in good shape for the next winter. Mr. Young has some samples of wool with him from his Shropshire sheep and from the mixed flocks Shropshire and Merino. The staple from the thor oughbreds is long and of good qual ity what is usually determined comb ing wools, i) rom the mixed breeds it is finer quality but not as long staple. Mr. Young says the yield is heavier than from the pure Merino, and for mutton the Shropshire and mixed breeds the carcass, is much larger. Some of the lambs dressed have weighed as high as 49 pounds, equal to the weight of two-year-old Merinoes. To those interested in our sheep in dustry it will be welcome news that our wool raisers have . been for years past constantly improving their nocks, and now, in Wasco- county, as fine wool is raised as anywhere In the country. . The Parrott Engine. Mr. D. Parrott has his engine, which will furnish the power for his air ship, in the city. He has a caveat on his invention, and the mechanical prin ciples are unquestionably new. The eneine complete weiehs about ' 140 pounds, and is 45-horse power with 200 pounds pressure oi steam. . : Above and below the shaft are two sets of cog wheels, ana these worn into a spiral screw, which multiplies the power very . mucn.. Tnese cog-wneeis , save the wear and tear of the shafting, the pressure being equal above and below. In the steam chest are numerous little chambers, which retain the- full force of the motive power, whether this be steam, water, or vaporized chemicals. J - K. Of P. Tisitors. Grand Chancellor Hill and Grand Secretary McConnell arrived in the city this morning from Arlington, and departed on the afternoon train for Portland. At 1 o'clock this afternoon they met some members of Friendship xuuge in tne naii, ana spent apout an hour in exemplifying the unwritten work. They would have remained in the city until tomorrow morning the grand chancellor had not received a telegraphic message requesting him w rouuru iu xxiuauy as quicKiy as pos sibly. At some future time he will pay an omciai visit to friendship lodge, when he will receive a knightly wel come. The . ' gentlemen report the order in a very prosperous condition in Eastern Oregon, and are very much pieaseu with tneir visit. Statistics of the Rebekah Degree. The following, interesting statistics have been collected from the annual address of the president of the Re bekah branch of the Oregon Odd Fel lows, Mrs. Margaret E. Kellogg There have been fifteen new lodees in stituted and one reinstated during the past year, making a total of fifty-nine lodges witn a membership of 3030 in Oregon. Total membership in the jurisdiction of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, 202,649, of which 108,732 are sisters at last report. At the same rate of increase the Grand Sire as sumes that there are 115,000 errand wo men united in the fraternal work of Odd Fellowship, within the jurisdic- muu ui mo uuxuju outuss at uuis time. "Nothing Mew Under the Sun," The Louisville Cknirier-Journal ouotei scripture against certain mannisl cos tumes affected bv advanced . women. but the particular passage was vague and unsatisfactory in the application. Much more explicit is the following from Ezekiel xiii:18-20: "Thus saveth tne iora uoa: woe to the women that sew Pillows to their a.rmhnloa. Behold I am aeainst vour nil lows, ana win tear tnem from your arms." It is held in theoloedcal cir cles that vhen Ezekiel wrote this he saw in the dim future the craze for puffed sleeves. mof ' Veep III'' ml jy wlli clear") H ML0NG mental) I M i strong AUCD'C Sarsaparilla To Summer Pasture.
