The Boston Herald estimates that "a " xsorncrbp" of 2,400,000,000 at only 25 cents a -bushel would mean 9600,000,000 in the pockets ot those who raise it and bring it to market." That' is good arithmetic, but when it takes all of the 25 cents to "Drtng u to mantei" the people who raise it refuse to be comforted by good arithmetic. In the first formal race between the Vigilant and the Defender, August 20, ". an accident to the latter brought the - trial to a premature conclusion.

Any one desiring seea can oe supplied by calling at his factory. A miniature eruption was caused today by the assistant superintendent Ol me water wonts repairing mo uipe in the alley near the soda works. The plug blew out that he had in the main, and the water spurted to the height of several feet before he could turn off the supply on court and Union streets. No damage was done, and the outburst of the confined element only furnished entertainment to a small crowd of spectators. Another and unique use has been found for the much abused bloomers, Mrs. J. C. Vermilye. of New York, was rowing in a boat at Gale's Ferry, Conn., a few days ago, when the craft overturned and the lady was thrown into the water; She did not sink, however, for the bloomers, filled with air, upheld her upon the surface of the water, and Mrs. Vermilye floated tri umphantly along the crest of the tide and the bloomers until a boatman put out from shore to rescue her, The Rosburg Review has this to say about one of the men lynched at Yreka, CaL, last Monday morning: Garland Stemler was a member of the Stemler family at Dora, Coos county, on the old Coos bay -wagon road. He attended the Corvallis college last year, leaving there in February, and while there was frequently accused of theft. The family is an excellent one and Gar land's brother, Milton Stemler, gradu ated at the Agricultural college this year with high honors. The lynched boy was a "black sheep." In BarnwellCounty, South Carolina, the other day, a mob called upon an unassuming family, insulted the mem- pers thereof in a vulgar manner, ana took the man of the family into the woods and administered a severe flog ging to him. The surprised man was then told that he had been too "stuck up." He hadn't associated on familiar terms with his crude, ignorant, and lazy neighbors. And , yet southern people wonder why immigration crowds into far western states and territories and endures cold and hard ships when land is cheap in the south, and the climate perfect. There are sections of the south not yet ready for immigration and Barnwell county, South Carolina, is one of them. From Friday Daily. Senter Payton Co, next week. Wm.

The bureau of Indian affairs reports that of 247,000 Indians in the country, 189,000 are self-supporting, and of these 35,000 pay taxes, live outside the reser vations and are counted in the general population. It is probable that the 30,000 who are engaged in farming, stock raising and othei pursuits, and the 30,000 who are church members are Included among the do.ouo tax payers. The fact that such a large proportion oi the wnoie numoer are self-supporting shouid encourage the bureau to civilizo and train the re mainder. DEATH OF D. E. TIIOIAS. An Old and Respected Citizen of Dnfur Passes to the SUcn Shore. We received news by telephone of the death of Mr. D. E. Thomas at half. past 10 o'clock this forenoon at Dufur, where he nas resiaea since laoa. no was born in lszo, and was conse quently about 69 years old. For a long time be has been a prominent mem ber of the order' of Odd Fellows, has been deputy grand master for this district, and for many years secretary of Ridgelv lodge at JJufur. At the time of his death he was postmaster at that town, and occupied the same posi tion in Prineville in former years. As a man and Odd Fellow he exemplified the highest principles-and traits of character, and no one ever knew him who did not entertain for him the highest respect. As a father and hus band he was kind and affectionate, and as a citizen and neighbor honor able in all his dealings and just and benevolent to his fellows. The town of Dufur will deplore his death and the sorrow of the community will be added to that of his widow and chil dren at his demise. He will bo buried in the Odd, Fellows cemetery near Dufur Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, under the auspices of the order, HOBSE BLEAT, The Factory at Lynnton Not Canning the Meat. It is a mistake that the factory at Lynnton is canning horse meat, as is generally supposed. Not one can has been put on the market so rar at this place, and the horses have been butch ered, the hides saved and the meat cookod, dried and ground up and turned into fertilizing material. The company has now 30o0 pounds of the meat in pickle, which will be sent to Germany and France. About 4000 or 5000 of the Switzler band the company has purchased at a cost of $2.90 a head. and have received several hundred of this lot. The capacity of the works is about 55 head a day, 4o horses and 10 colts. After the animal is kilied it is denuded of its hide by pulling it off. The hide is started in places, and then jerked off by a winding machine. This is tanned into leather, and used in the manufacture of boots and shoes. The offal is fed to hogs, and this fur nishes good feed. Any one desirous of purchasing an animal may take his choice for $10; but our informant says there is not any he has seen that is worth this amount. Good Weatner for Battle Snakes, It is reported that a more than usual number of snakes of the rattle attachment variety have been - seen during the past summer. The only ex- Elanation of this fact that has so far een offered is that there are no more rattle-snakes than during other years, but that they are throwing themselves in sight with greater frequency and activity on account of the warm, dry weather. This theory is probably as good as any, since it is a well known fact that a rattle-snake takes great delight whiling away the lonely hours in the hot sun. Lots of snakes have been killed during the past few weeks, and one gentleman who recently kilied three rattle snakes says there are not only more numerous but bigger and fatter than usual. Burglar Caught by a Woman. Harry Williams, a burglar who was caught in Henry Baborn's home in Everett Friday, waived examination and was held to the superior court in $1000. Mrs. Baborn heard someone upstairs, and, going ' up cautiously, saw the man's figure reflected in the mirror. She went downstairs and got a gun and returned to the scene. The burglary was taken completely by sur prise as he saw the plucky woman, and he jumped into a closet. There she kept him while she opened a window ana shouted for help, which soon came. Three pals of Williams have been working the town selling hanging baskets, apparently to get acquainted with the places. They were sent up for vagrancy. The Diamond Fraud. Walter Brooks and Francis A. Pease, the two diamond fakes, had their examination before Justice Davis today. The case was called this morn ing and the state was represented by G. W. Phelps and the defense by E. B. Dufur. After the testimony for the state was submitted the defendant's counsel moved tb'dismiss the case, be cause, as be alleged, there was not suf ficient evidence to hold them for the crime. The justice took the matter under advisement until 2 o'clock when he decided that a crime had been com mitted and the examination was con tinued at half -past 4 this afternoon, when the defense introduced testi mony The Fruit Crop. The seHson for fruit picking and shipping is now in operation. A. S. Bennett has about 20 men employed picking prunes, and couid find work for more if he could find them. Other orchardists are also employing a large number of men gathering fruit, and our gardens present the appearance of a harvest field. The export trade in fruit this .season .will be unusually large, and our resources in this regard are not nearly., developed v In a few years the trade will be nearly 'doubled in extent, and Our producers will reap the benefit. "" j Fruit Shipments. There was a car of plums and prunes shipped east from this city last night, and one tonight from Mosier, and an other tomorrow night from The Dalles. Those who were represented in the car last night are as follows: A. H. Jewett. 100 crates prunes; Seufert Bros., 71 prunes; W. H. Taylor, 84 prunes; B. Cooper, 18 plums; A. S. Bennett, 433 prunes; Jos. Stadelman, 118 prunes, 19 pears; E. Schanno, 29 prunes; M. D. Farrington, 9 prunes; Frank Taylor, 78 plums, u pears; o. Husbands, 50 prunes. AN OLD FAMILY FEUD. Murder of Harry Stone Near Welser Deed of Revenue. A Weiser correspondent of the Boise Statesman says: : . "Newt Johnson, who returned Sun day from Salmon meadows, brings a few particulars of the murder which occurred at the meadows on Wednes day, August 21. While the races were in progress near Cal White's, late in the afternoon a stranger rode up and reported that several miles across the valley on Mud creek he had come across the body of a man lying on its face in the road, one not frequently traveled. He dismounted and at tempted to tucn the l)ody over. It was stiff and cold and he left it as he found it. He did not know who the dead man was. A party at once went to the place and found it to be the body of Harry Stone. He was shot in the right side low down in the ribs, the ball coming out near the left nipple, the course ranging upward, His horse was standing a short distance on wnn the saddle on. He had not been dead over 10 or 12 hours. The murderer had evideutlv lain behind a log which was near by and shot Stone as he rode along. "As there had been a feud for some time between Stone and a family named Curtis, old man Curtis, who is also father-in-law of Stone, was sus' pected of the deed; A visit was made to his premises, and a young son was found' there, who was closely ques tioned and it was learned that Curtis bad taken his rifle and started out early that morning and had not been home since. UP to the present writ ing Curtis has not been found, but it is reported that traces of him have been discovered, making his way down Little Salmon river. "About two years ago or longer Stone s wife, who was a daughter of Curtis, died from strychnine, adminis tered by her own hand, or said to have been, stone told menus tnat sne naa confessed to having been untrue to him during his absence He seemed greatly affected mentally over his do mestic troubles and bothered friends and officials of the county with his woes, wanting something done with the person implicated. He also asked protection from his wife's relatives, who, he said, had threatened to kill him. It is conjectured by some that her family suspected Stone of having poisoned her himself, or if not this, that his persecution had driven her to take her own life, and that the mur derer felt himself to be an avenger. There is no doubt that out of the old family troubles grew the cause of the The Fair, A meeting of business men was held at the council chambers last evening, and there was a fair attendance, All A. S. Macallistet' was nominated chair man and stated the object of the meet ing. It was the opinion of all present that no successful fair could be held without racing, and as the $1500 appro priated by the state is for premiums on stock and agricultural exhibits only, after considerable discussion it was decided that to hold a successful fair and race meeting at least $800 to $1000 would be necessary, on motion a committee -of eight was ap pointed to splicit subscriptions, con sisting "of the following: A. S. Mac- al lister, M. A, Moody, H, J. Maier, Judd Fish, L. E. Crowe, J. P, Mo- Inerny and Owen Williams. This committee was appointed to can vass the city and report at a future meeting what success they had. The directors of the fair association have secured the Max Vogt opera house where the exhibition of fruits, works of art and fancy wopk will be held, and The Dalles Orchestra Union has been engaged and will give nightly con certs. The Eye, There is no organ of the body of such delicate construction as the eye, and so easily injured in its functional duties. The least particle of dust that could be balanced on the point of a cambric needle will cause intense suffering when coming in contact with this member, and nature has provided the greater protection to the eye be cause of its ' peculiar sensitiveness. Any one knowiug these facts will read ily realize the importance ot scientmo treatment for all ailments that may happen to the organ of sight, and The Dalles at present is favored by a visit from Dr. Lewenberg, a graduate of Heidenburg university, and one who has made diseases of the eye a special study. He is an ooulist of unquestion able ability, and his methods of treat ment are the latest and those approved by the highest scientific authorities. Street Preaching-. The Dalles has been peculiarly favored the past two days by public preaching. Each evening the Salyar tion Army has given their usual enter tainment at the corner of Second and Court street, and yesterday noon Mr, and. Mrs. Bice, the cow boy preaoher and wife, began a series of public meetings, Last night Mrs, Bice spoke for about an hour and a half on re ligious subjects and also in the after noon. She is only 20 years old and has been in the evangelistic work ever since she was 11 years old. Her re marks were truthful and pointed, and the language she used was easily un, derstood. . She appears tp be very much in earnest, but she might accom plish more good in devoting her efforts to one community. The Tournament, At a meeting of the fire department last evening the terms of the O. B. & N. Co. and D- P. & A. N. Co. were presented. The former offered to transport all those desiring to attend the tournament to and from Portland with cart free for $2, and the latter for the same price, fifteen men of the team and cart free, landed at Vancouver, not later than 2:30 p. M. on Monday. Of course the terms of the D. P. & A. N. Co. being the most advantageous were accepted. If the railroad had been adopted as the means of trans- Eoriation those from this city would ave been forced to pay their fare from Portland to Vancouver, while the boat will land them at the wharf at the latter place. A Premium Paid, , The East Oregonian of yesterday has the following: . i . . - The $22,000 bond issue of school dis trict No. 16 has been accomplished, and Thiess & Barroll, Spokane agents for Eastern money ioaners, secured the parchments at a premium of $455. Nine houses, all of the east, bid as fol lows: Thiess &' Barroll, par and a! premium of $455; Morris & Whitehead, par and $396 premium; La Barr & Co., par and $340 premium; De Van & Co., par and $1 premium; Parsons, Leach & Co., par and $375 premium; L. R. Davidson, $21,120; Roberts Bros., par and $390 premium; Rollins & Son, par and $239.80 premium Thiess & Barroll's bid amounts to a trifle over 2 per cent above par. The bonds are 6 per cents and their issue was authorized at the recent special election. The Diamond Fakes. . The two men mentioned yesterday as attempting to operate a diamond swindle in this city were' arrested by Sheriff Driver last night and they had their examination today. Quite a revelation was made in the contents of their valises. Beal diamonds were there and also bogus ones, and letters were also found from "friends," wish ing them success in their venture. They only had one victim in this city, from whom they managed to secure $20. The case Was called, by Justice Davis at 10 o'clock-, and the state was repre sented by G. W. Phelps and the : de fendants by Hon. E. B. Dufur. - A1 separate trial was asked for each, and the examination was postponed until 2 o'clock, this afternoon. . They were placed under $200 bail. - l4uid Transfers. Aug. 29. United States to Homer White; ni of sei, nei of swi, swi of gei sec 2, tp 5 s, r 12 e; homestead. Aug. 29. John A. Barger to C. W.
