' The annual meeting of the W. R. C.
at Oregon City, closed Wednesday,
and among the proceedings of that day
we note the following:
immediately alter the installation

sion. Two very handsome bouquets
were presented by Meade corns. No. 18.
one to Mr. Ungerman, the retiring de
partment president, and the other to
the newly elected president. Mrs.
Myers. ;
Badly Injured.
The Arlington Secord says:
"Few people experience such a shock
ing accident as befell Mr. D. L.
Zachary, of Schuttler Flat and live to
tell about it. While driving home
from Arlington last Tuesday evening,
and while at Dave Mason's place, he
dismounted in order to open and close
the gate. Just as he was climbing over
the wheel preparatory to taking his
seat on the wagon, the bridle on one
of the horses . slipped down over its
head, which frightened him, the team
became unmanageable and ran away.
Mr. Zachary, being on the wheel, was
thrown directly under it. as well as re
ceiving a cut from a hoof on his fore
head which laid it open. The wheel
passed over him, leaving him with his
left arm broken near the wrist, his left
leg below the knee a common fracture,
uis rural, leg iraocurea near tne nit.
and several ribs broken. Dr. Geis
endorfer attended him, and has hopes
of his recovery. Mr. Zachary is past
middle life and not very robust, and it
will , seem almost a miracle if he
recovers." .
Waaco County Roads.
The Moro Observer makes the follow
ing pertinent remarks about our
county roads:
waaco county had best haul in her
lectures to us about roads and more
dutifully attend to her own. Recently,
at the junction of the free-bridge and
Miller-bridge roads C. W. Fairchild, of
Grass Valley, with an 8-hor6e team and
two wagons, loaded with 6000 pounds
of wool, went over the nastv narrow
grade at thai point, barely escaping
with his life. Both wagons were de
molished by tumbling to the bottom of
the chasm 60 feet deep, and four horses
were pulled In after them. Thnm
laws in Oregon which hold counties to
strict accountability for damages such
as this.and it may appear later on that
Wasco county has cause for cnntrpatn.
latlon that this casuality was no worse
than reported. If The Dalles wants to
retain this business she'd better look
to some roads other than those that
lead to Sherar's toll bridge."
CROP-WEATHER REPORT.
In Kantern Oregon For the Week Ending
.lane 17, 1806.
Weather A few light sprinkles of
rainfall, not enough to lay the dust, on
the loth and 16th. The temperature
has been cool; frosts have occurred
excent in the immediate Columbia
river vallev. South of this valley, ex
tending eastward through southern
Idaho, frosts and ice occurred the
morning of the 14th and 15th. The
foothills and the Blue mountains had
a coating of snow the morning of the
15th. The maximum temperature for
the week ransred from 64 to 84 deg. in
the Columbia river valley, and from 50
to 74 deg. to the south; the minimum
ranged from 42 to 52 deg. in the valley,
and from 28 to 48 deg. to the south,
This tflmtipvafcure of below the freez'
lng point on Friday and Saturday
nio-ht is one of the lowest on record
for this season of the year. The winds
have been from the north to west, and
Vrlnlr In force than is Usual.
Crops While the prospects for
crops, hay.cereal and fruit, were never
more promising m tut? wctcm iwvi
of the state, the reverse conditions
nwwail to the east of the Cascade.
The reoorts from the correspondents
indicate a very poor outlook. Fall
sown or summer-fallowed wheat is
promising, and even under the adverse
condition oi a dry, cooi penuu iu nm
give an average yield. Spring-sown
Drain mav make hav m some : sections,
though it, like volunteer wheat, will
hardly be worth the cutting for hay;
the uresent outlook is for almnst a
failure of snrin? and volunteer grain
A correspondent from Umatilla county
writes: "It is sure that this county
will not have one-half the number of
bushels of wheat thatBhe produced last
year." "A correspondent from Mor
row county writes: "With a good rain
within two weeks we will have a fair
yield of fall-sown summer-fallowed
grain; volunteer and spring-sown are
gone entirely." Similar reports come
from Gilliam, Sherman, Wasco and
Baker counties: in Union and Wal
lowa counties the conditions are some'
what improved, though in portions of
the Grande Ronde valley th& prospects
are not so encourasring as they might
be. The correspondent at Cove, Union
county, reports: "Upon the whole,
rather a discouraging outlook."
Plowinsr has been suspended due to
the ground being so dry, and a large
amount of stubble eround remains un
plowed. The grasshoppers have done
and are yet doing damage to vegeta
tion in Morrow, Gilliam, bherman
and Wasco counties; some farmers are
cutting their hay before they other
wise would do so, so as to prevent its
being eaten by the grasshoppers. So
that between the dry weather and the
rrasshoDDers some farmers are having
a hard time of it, and as one writes:.
"It begins to look like destitution."
In the Columbia river valley, in
Union and Wallowa counties, the fruit
crop continues promising. Strawber
ries are about over and cherries are
ripe. To the south of the Blue moun
tains fruit and berries are not so prom
ising; the frosts injured them, and the
yield will be light. The hay crop will
be good in some locations, but will be
poor in others. From Grant county a
correspondent writes: "Grain crops
are so backward and the land so dry
that unless we have copious rains
within a short time they will be a fail
ure. The hay meadows are not going
to turn off anything like the normal
crop. Grasshoppers, I fear, are going
to clean the country; they have already
destroyed gardens, and will most likely
harvest our second crop of alfalfa;
they took my second crop last year."
The stock is being driven to the
mountains for their summer pasturage;
the range grass is only fair, not so
good as last year.
The climatic conditions are such, at
present, that no general or copious
rains may be expected during the next
week, but warmer weather will most
likely prevail. Moderate temperature,
with good rains, would yet materially
improve conditions throughout East
ern Oregon. B. S. Bagtte,
Director.
TELEPHONE LIKE.
C. C. Gilchrist & Co. Propose to Build a
Telephone Between The Dalles
and the Interior. ,
Gentlemen representing C. C. Gil
christ & Co., telephone builders, are
in the city, and gave the Times-Mountaineer
office a call this morning.
The firm has constructed lines in dif
ferent parts of Western Oregon during
the past two years, and the members
are practical men. These gentlemen
will canvass Eastern Oregon for sub
scriptions to a capital stock of $20,000,
one-half of which they will take, and.
the money for the stock is not to be
paid until the line is completed. Sub
scribers at The Dalles will not be called,
upon to pay for their stock until they
can talk to Canyon City; at Dufur,
Kingsley, Wamic, Bakeoven and An
telope until the people at those places
can call The Dalles, and so on at
every station. The gentlemen left
today to canvass the neighborhood
between this city and Dufur, and if
they receive the encouragement they
expect will return to The Dalles to
morrow and work this town. Farmers
along the line of the route may pay
for stock in labor; but in "such cases
work must be done when: needed, and
they will not be given time for pay
ment until the line reaches them.
When they are satisfied the stock will
be subscribed, work will begin, and
be kept up until the line is completed.
These men appear; to mean busi
ness, and the proposition they make,
is very fair. We hope they will suc
ceed, as a telephone line will be a
great factor of business between this
and interior points, and should have
been in operation long ago.
The Drama.
The second rendition of Damon and
Pythias at the opera house: last even
ing attracted a large audience, and the
people were more enthusiastic than on
the former occasion: Our people are
not unappreciative, and were well sat
isfied with the artistic delineation of
the great character of Damon in the
drama by Mr. Rasmus, and also with
the excellent manner in which every
part was taken, giving evidence, of the
talent possessed by members of the
local dramatic club and others who ap
peared on the stage on both occasions;
but the play'is one of extreme sadness
until the final scene, and there is no
humor to create merriment. This may
account for that lack of enthusiasm
which a little vein of humor would
have created. But it is true that the
lov6 of liberty, the constancy of wife
and betrothed, and the undying friend
ship of these two Pythagoreans are
worthy of applause in any audience.
Lrst night there was a marked im
provement in every actor. Their
words came freer, and they were more
accustomed to positions on the stage.
.Language ana gestures seemed more
natural and less studied, and our ama
teurs are rapidly assuming the grace
and freedom that distinguish the" pro-
iession. There is- a report that the
play will be produced at Goldendale in
a few days, and, if such is a fact, we
can assure the people of that city that
a dramatic treat is in store lor them.
Claim Sold.
There is one man in this city upon
whom the ncicie goddess has bestowed
her sweetest smiles. For many years
Mr. L. L. Hill has owned- a mining
claim hear Canyon City, - and it has
been a burden on him rather - than a
benefit,, not having the time to work it
as its hould have been. Recently east
ern capitalists halve visited that re
gion, looking around , for rich spots
which would pay for investment. They
examined the claim of Mr. Hill, and,
as a result, he has executed a deed to
them for his property in Grant county,
the consideration being $40,000. This
is a snug sum, and, during these days
of business depression, its possession
will make a man feel comfortably
happy.
The Salmon Ban.
The season has far advanced, and
wheelmen have caught very few fish.
Very little hope is entertained that
there will be any improvement in the
catch this year. The wheels are
usually attached to the bank, and, so
far, the salmon have kept to the center
of the stream. They can be seen in
vast numbers making their way up
the river; but for some reason they
keep shy of the wheels. This will
prove to the enemies of -fish wheels
that these are not destructive to the
salmon industrv. The nets at the
mouth of the Columbia are the great
est drawbacks, for they sweep the
river clean the entire width. We are
informed the John Day is swarming
with salmon that, have swam past the
wheels at the Cascades and this city,
and this while the fishermen of The
Dalles have not caueht enough hardly
to supply the local demand.
HON. T. S. LANG.
A Review of an Eventful Life and an Ex
emplary Character.
(Communicated.)
Th a funeral of the late Hon. 1. s
T.nff waft held todav. and the unusually
lange attendance evinced the high re
gard m wnicn newas ceiu uy mio com
munity. The services consisted in
the readlnfir of the Episcopal service
by Rev. W. C. Curtis, a personal
friend, and the pastor of the congre-
mit.innnl hiirch. -
ih. Imc during his residence in
TVin Ttn.iii. hv his unvarvins kindness
and courtesy has made lasting friends
Of all with whom ne came in cunutci.
TTa leaves a widow and two daughters
who mourn him as a kind and loving
husband and father. His age was by.
Thomas stacknole leaner was oorn in
"Wnrt.Vi Rerwick. Maine, on June lo,
1826. After leaving the Friend's school
a Quaker institution at rruviuoucc,
T.. he enffaffed in business withhis
father John D. Lang, who was largely
interested in lumber and shipping, be
sides bein? an extensive woolen man
ufacturer. During many years of busi
noaa snppess Mr. Lan? found time to
do much for his state and locality. At
his nwn exnense he imported from
Europe cattle and horses which greatly
raised the grade of stock in his vicin-
It.v. and his methods oi iarmmg are
Qt.ill admired there.
He served several terms in tnejuame
legislature, both as senator and rep
resentative, and took n prominent
nart in Republican politics. When
t.hA rehAllinn broke out he wa3 ten
dered a commission of Colonel by
Gov. Washburn, but owing to private
reasons he did not qualify. He has
horna the title of colonel since tnat
time. His close attention to business
began to toll upon his almost iron con
stitution, and in 1867 he accepted the
annointment of commissioner to the
World's Fair, at Paris. After a con
siderable residence abroad he returned
home much improved in health, and in
1872 on the liberal Republican, or
Greelv" tickets he contested a con
gressional seat with James G. Blaine,
losing by a narrow majority, and carry
ing his home county by a flattering
rote. At this time he had extended
his lumber shipping to Cuba, and-was
engaged in trading with the West
Indies. When the Cuban insurrec
tion broke out in 1873. he sustained
heavy losses on the island of Cuba, and
through the failure of others in this
country, lost a handsome fortune. This
trouble, together with that brought
about by the panic of 1873, so under
mined Mr. Lang's health that in the
following year he determined to move
to Oregon, and there engage in the
stock business with a relative. Hon.-J.
W. Nesmith. The change of life
agreed with him, and for a time his
health returned, but four years later
he was forced to abandon the stock
business and remove to The Dalles,
where he edited and published the
Wasco County Sun for a number of
years, and estaoiisned a wiae reputa
tion as a forcible and convincing
writer. His editorials on the tariff, as
it affected Oregon interests, attracted
much attention. He was appointed re
ceiver of The Dalles land office by Pres
ident Harrison, and held the position
during the administration. For many
years Mr. Lang has held the position
of special Indian agent in the matter
of protection of Indian fishing rights
on the Columbia river.
His unfalter-
ine stand for justice to the
Indians
won him the admiration of
all fair-
minded citizens, and the gratitude and
confidence of every Indian along the
river.
SUICIDE AT GOLDENDALE,
An
Old Man, Highly Respected, Takes
His Life for Causes Unknown.
Yesterday morning, about 6 o'clock,
Matthew McEwan, over 60 years of
age,- a highly respected citizen of
Goldendale, Wash., committed suicide
by shooting himself through the heart
with a Winchester rifle. He arose
at the usual time, and, soon after'
going to his room the family were
alarmed by the discharge of the rifle.
On going to his b9d, they found him
dead with a bullet hole through his
heart. The following note was found
on his person:
"What was committed in Utah I
could not help no more than a fiver
year-old boy. Circumstances sur
rounded me so I could not help it." . 1
No date was given, and there was no
explanation of the act; but whatever
it was it must nave preyed upon nis
mind until life became unbearable,
and relief wa9 sought in suicide.
Mr. McEwan came to Goldendale a
number of years aero from Utah, and
was thought to be of the Mormon
faith. He was very industrious and
honest, and by thrift and economy
accumulated a competence. In the
community he was always highly es
teemed as a sober, upright citizen, and
considered of a sound and bright mind.
He leaves a widow, one daughter at
home about 16 years of age, - three
married daughters and three sons, one
of whom is unmarried. -This act is a

PROPHECY NO. 1.
Rflnd at the First Meeting: of the IJufur
Alumni.
The future, of whicli I have to deal.
Is time that's hidden beneath a seal,
Placed bv God's mysterious hand.
How, is not for us to understand.
But I will try and take a peep
Into that futnre dark and deep ,
And give tn each one here tonight.
A kaleidoscopic view of colors bright.
Now the very first thing that I can sec
Is for our toastmaster, this side of me.
There is. for him. a future more grand.
Than any other that has been planned.
Clouds, through which no sun seems shininp,
But each proves to bavea silvery lining.
Are hanging heavy o'er his head,
Right in the path where he must trod,
But he comes out conqueror of them all,
To stand upright, and not to fall
He'll be a senator good and grand,
That will work for the people of his land,
And will give to them whare'er they.ask.
Be it ''free coinage" or "income lax".
And Irom that he'll rise on greatness bent,
To ran for our future president.
The next is for our poetess:
But what it is you caunot guess,
hewill leave this land of the setting sun
For a sojourn to a warmer, southern one,
And there she will gladden the hearts of men,
With gems of brightness from her gifted pen.
Which will win for her in time to come
Rich a name and a happy home.-
Our orator, tall and dianified
Is over there on the other side.
1 see for him a pathway clear.
Well marked out is his career;
I see him standing amid applauses loud,
That come from a cheering delighted crowd,
Who eagerly listen, both old and young
lnnnent words that fall from his tonmie
Ah, there's our reviewer watching mc,
She wonders what it is I see!
1 hear the sound of wedding bells,
A chiming over hills antt dells;
1 see a figure clad in white,
TUfWlrMi in manv diamonds bright.
An orange wreath, twined in her hair,
l .-. never was a bride more fair.
The groom that's standing by her side.
Boasts of his millions with the greatest pride. ,
A rough and rugged path I see.
Up steep hills and rocks, and then a grassy lea;
A checkered life and a varied career,
I what is ahead of our critic here
She will make a teachergood and grand,
That will spread the gospel to a heathen land.
Now. then our secretary, Linsey B..
What future awaits him? Well, let's see!
His ambition is great lor an nonnrea name,
Lilri- a Henrv Ward Eeecher striving for fame
He is sure to win it, after toil and strife,
c 'nmM tti rrnwnine anex of his lite
lur historian is destined to be
A personage of great notoriety:
Me will invent a snip lo nuii ' mc air,
Vhv Parrot himself will be nowhere.
On this machine, he will work with his might.
And when he has. finished, the railroads will ha
vanished from sizht.
Our kind professor, now I'll mention.
He well deserves irom us, attention;
I see down the viftaof years to come.
A calm and peaceful setting sun;
A life well filled, he has the gain.
To know that he has not lived in vain.
Onr Alumni, that now makes so small a show,
Will, like the little aconl, to greatness grow.
Before it Is so very old
It will have increased a hundred fold.
Like a change of fondest memories sweet.
'Twill find us toceifeer. until we meet
To join one another in that bliss above,
Where all is peace and God is love.
HAWTHORNE'S TRIAL.
In Progres in the V. S. District Court
in Portland.
The trial of John Hawthorne for
the murder of Carpolis, the Indian po
liceman at the Warm Springs reserva
tion last summer, is now in progress
in the United States district court in
Portland. Hawthorne was a resident
of The Dalles, and when he killed Car
polis, was being pursued bv him to
effect his arrest for burglarizing the
store of Mays & Crowe in this city.
The gang that committed the robbery
consisted ' of Hawthorne, Bowe and
Hayes, and they were pursued the dav
after the crime was committed. In
a camp they made on Fifteen
mile creek, above Dufur, Hayes was
found dead, and there was evidence
that he had been murdered. Haw
thorne rode down to Dufur for medical
assistance for Hayes, and when some
citizens found him at the place de
scribed, he was dead and Hawthorn
had escaped. The posse in pursuit fol
lowed them to the Warm Springs, and
carpolis. a brave and fearless Indian,
kept on their trail, overtook them,
and wa9 killed by Hawthorne. The
grand jury of 'this county found indict
ments against the three for burglary,
and Hawthorne was brought in town
by Indians and lodged in jail; but the
United States claimed nt'enerlenne ho-
cause or murder being the more hem-
ous crime, and he was taken to Port-
land and lodged in jail, where he has
remained ever since. Soon after the
murder of Carpolis, Rowe left the gang,
rode into town, and gave himself up to
the authorities. He pleaded guilty of
the crime of burglary at the next ses
sion of the circuit court, and was sen
tenced . to the penitentiary for two
years. ' -
Walter Rowe and Ralph Gibons were
examined for the United States yester
day and other witnesses today. The
trial will very likely last all week and
perhaps longer. If Hawthorne is
acquitted he will very likely be trans
ferred to this county, where he will be
tried on the indictment 'against him
for burglary.

Base Ball.
A match game of base ball will be
played next Sunday afternoon at the
fair grounds at 2 o'clock between the
Hood River and Dufur clubs. This
will be an interesting game to all
lovers of base ball, as these nines
comprises some of the best players in
Wasco county, and the boys have been
practicing constantly for several days
past. The grounds are all that could
be desired for a full exhibition of the
art of playing, and :,') 'l undoubt
edly be some fine bv.un uuA catching.
As the Dufur nine will be at con
siderable expense in entertaining the
visitors an admission fee of 25 cents
will be charged, and a large crowd
of persons are expected
Reception Tendered.
Mr. Francis Sinnott, of Portland, a
nephew of Col. Sinnott r f t' U city, is
visiting at The Dalles. La t evening
a party was given in his honor at the
residence of Col. and ; Mrs. Sinnott, at
which there were about thirty young
ladies and gentlemen present. The
time was passed very pleasantly in
games and amusements, and all re
gretted when the hour for deprture
came. This is the first social event
that has happened in this city fov some
time, and on this account was duly ap
preciated. - Mr. Sinnott will remain
with us a few days, and seems very
much pleased with the city. .

THOROUGH INVESTIGATION
REQUESTED.
A BOLD ASSERTION..
Ever since Prof. Koch startled the world
by promising to cure consumption with the
Koch lymph and his complete failure to do
so, the people have been looiimr for some
discovery which would prove au absolute,
certain cure for that dread disease. Over a
quarter of a century apo Pr. R. V. Pierce,
.chief consulting physici.-r ; Vi; Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Im ; l: . t in a claim
for a medicine, which he hid discovered
and used, in his extensive practice, that
would cure ninety-eight per cent of all cases
of consumption when taken in all its earl7
stages. Time has proved that his assertion
was based oa facts gained from experience.
His " Golden Medical Discovery " has eured
many thousand people in all parts of the
world, and Dr. Pierce invites all interested
to send to him for a free book which gives
the names, addresses and photographs of
many prominent people who have willingly
testified to the marvelous curative proper
ties of his "Golden Jfedical Discovery."
He has also written a l?oofc of ioopn'TCE oa
'Diseases of the Respircterv Organs, "which
treats of all Throaty Bronchial and Lung
diseases, also Asthma and Catarrh, that will
bemailed by the World's Dispensary Med
ical Association of Buffalo-, N.V., on receipt
of six cents in stamps, to pay postage.- --
Consumption, as most everybody knows,
b first manifested by feeble vitality, loss
of strength, emaciation ; then local symp
toms soon develop, as cough, difficult
breathing, or bleeding from lungs, when
investigation proves- that tubercular de
posit have formed in the- lungs-" -It is
earnestly advised that the "Discovery" be
taken early and the latter stages of the
disease can. thereby he easily avoided. '
To build np solid flesh and strength after
the grip, pneumonia, ("-lung fever "), ex
hausting fevers, and other prostrating dis
eases, it has no equal. ' It does not make
fat like cod liver oil and its nasty com
pottads, bat. tolid, wholesome JUsh, ,-
Cotrolena
The new vegetable shortening.
Wherever introduced, it drives
lard from the kitchen, and indi
gestion from the household.
It has been tried by every test,
end has met every requirement.
It is as much superior to lard as the
electric light is to the tallow-dip.
The only question now is, will
you give your family the benefits
which its use bestows ?
In composition, in healthfulness,
in flavor, or in economy.
Its success has called out a lot of
imitations and counterfeits made
for the sole purpose of selling
in the place and on the merits of
Cottolene.

THING OF BEAl'TY.
Glowing Description ot the Great syndi
cate Olrcni.
The New Great Syndicate Shows
have made a successful hit wherever
it has exhibited. This show, which
will exhibit in The Dalles. Saturdav.
July 6th. is highly endorsed. The fol
lowing is from the Star, the leading
daily paper of Pueblo, Colorado:
The street parade of the New Great
Syndicate Shows this morniner showed
two special features. The humanitar
ian could not have been ill-pleased
with the condition of the horses, which
are rounded, fat and full of life. The
other thing was the cleanliness and
bright appearance of the wagons in
all a parade move bright, attractive
and more worthy of remembering than
any such that has visited Pueblo in
years.
"The grand entry at the circus is a
thing of beauty, full of glittering ban
ners, lovely women and handsome
men. The wardrobe is beautiful with
out cheap gorgeousness, and the colors
show as bright as a rainbow. An im
mense crowd attended this afternoon,
an the seats being tilled, and many
compelled to stand. The -lare crowd
showed its appreciatioaof nearly every
act by demanding its repetition.
The Last Sad Rite.
The funeral of the late Col. Thoa. S.
Lang took -place this morning at 10
o'clock from the family resilience in
this city. Thoro was a large number
of citizens and friends in attendance,
I and the bier was covered with a prof u
i sion of floral oiferings. Rev. JV. C.
Curtis, of the Congregational church,
read the Episcopal service over the
remains, a hymn was sung, the bene
diction pronounced and all that re
mained on earth of Col. Thomas S.
Lang was borne to the last resting
place in Sunset cemetery. The pall
bearers were Mr. B. G. Whitehouse,
of Portland; Senator Hilton, Col. Sin
nott. Dr. Shackleford, J. M Marden
and H. Horbring, of this city. Nearly
every carriage was in requisition, and
the long line of the funeral procession
wended it9 way to the city of the dead,
where the last sad rites were per
formed, and the great heart and brain
of Col. Lang was consigned to the nar
row house of clay.
' The Indian Caytue.
The Lewiston Teller says the Indian
caynse is the worst pest that id flic is
this country. The Indian horses are
spread all over the ranges and are not
confined within the reservation limits.
It is estimated that fifteen thousand
worthless wild ponies range unre
strained over the hills of this country,
and devour the good bunch grass.
These cayuses each eat enough good
fodder to fat a four-year-old, steer; and
one steer is worth more than ten glass
eyes bronchos. If we could enact a
law to declare every pony of an as
sessed value of less than one dollar a
public nuisance it would add mater
ially to thn prosperity of this country.
r.
Deserted Kanoas.
Thero are twenty well-built towns in
Kansas without a single inhabitant to
awaken the echoes of their deserted
streets.- It is said that Saratoga, one
of these deserted villages, has a $30,
000 opera house, a large brick hotel, a
$20,000 school house and a number of
fine business houses, with nobody to i
claim even a place to sleep. All of
this claim about by . booming on bor
rowed capital without resources
enough to pay the interest. People
moved away irom tnese towns as a new
way oi paying debts.
The Republican League Adjourned.
Hon. M. A. Moody received a tele
gram today from his father, Ex-Gov.
Moody, who has been attending the
Republican Club League at Cleveland,
stating that the meeting adjourned
tnis morning without passing any
resolutions on the financial policy to
be adopted by the party. The dispatch
was dated at Cleveland, June 21, 1:15
P. M. This practically ignores the
free silver men, and they must rest
untill the meeting- of the national
nominating convention next year.
