party of Elks from Cascade' Locks.1 A
' . meeting will be held here and several

The Sadie B. left the Cascades at
3:15 this afternoon, but as we know
nothing of her speed it is impossible

advertised to arrive at 6:30, but if she
. does not we wash our- hands of all re
sponsibility and shall just wait till she
comes. '
General Dlckensen yesterday. began

week. ,

streets were so much smoother than
the sidewalks. Citizen We got " to
keep the sidewalks rough, friend, to
keep the bicycle fiends from running
over our children. Indianapolis Jour-
nal. , '' '
A revival in Philadelphia has caused
" seventeen policemen to ask the prayers
of the congregations ; Some people
might, see in this an example of the
efficiency of prayer, but to our suspi
cious mind it conveys only r the idea
that the policemen went to convince
the world that some contracts are too
large even for a revival meeting to
tackle. - " ' : "
. The weather is simply beautiful and
as the same kind is ordered for tomor
row, the excursion to the Cascades
should be one of the most delightful of
trips. The Regulator will leave at 8
o'clock, and returning will leave the
Cascades at 2:30. The excursion is for
the benefit of the Orchestra Union, and
for this reason alone should be well
patronized. - .

It looked like old times when the O.

railroad company, Saturday night at
the Umatilla House. All caused by
those hustling, rustling fellows the
""Elks. - . '
Yesterday we published a notice to
.the effect .that the. Degree .of Honor

. dance tonight. It was perhaps our
mistake, as the affair will not come off
- until tomorrow, Wednesday night.
Judge Bradshaw and' Prosecuting
Attorney Jayne : arrived home .from
Prineville Saturday night, having run

others who moved around so fast the
reporter could not catch on to them.'.
A Walla Walla man tried to trade off
his wife for a bicycle, on which he
' aimed to skip the country. When
his wife found it out, she quietly got

that it is the duty of the county com
missioners of Multnomah county to

ter what the county's financial condi
tion is. An appeal was taken and the
supreme court will be requested to ad
vance the case on the calendar, that a
speedy determination of the matter
may be reached.
This morning just at sunrise a big
black cloud came creeping up from the
west, and for a little while it looked as
though we were going to get a good
shower, but outside of a magnificent
rainbow and the very lightest oi
sprinkles there was nothing in it. The
cloud passed over, but it had evidently
been squeezed dry in its passage across
the mountains.

Speaking of the sale of Grand Ronde
placer properties, reported in yester
days's Oregonian, the La Grande
Chronicle says: "There is now no
doilbt that this sale of the Grand
Ronde placer property is one of the
most important and extensive mining
deals ever made in- Eastern Oregon,
both in the way of purchase price and
extent of operations to be inaugurated.
The company will spend many thous
ands of dollars in improvements, and
the operation of the mines will be con
tinned for an . indefinite period. Mr.
Marcnm stated that every claim was
thoroughly prospected before the pur
chase was made, and every test known
to scientific and practical mining was
resorted , to, and every result proved
most satisfactory. He says the ground
is of such anxtent that it tsannotbe
be worked out in a century.
..Frederick Kenp Dead..
' We learned Monday of the death
of Frederick Kemp in Hood River val
ley Sunday morning, the 27th, of ery
sipelas. Mr. Kemp was siok but a few
days, the, notice of his death being the
first Intimation most of his friends had
of his sickness. " Owing to the charac
ter of the disease and the impossi
bility of keeping the body the funeral
took place - Sunday afternoon; Mrs.
Kemp ia also in a dangerous condition
from the same disease. Mr. Kemp
was one of th&beet of men, a thorough
Christian in a& and deed, a quiet, un
ostentatious, generous gentleman' and
one of Nature's noblemen. We knew
him well, and so knowing his kindly
and affectionate disposition we realize
how great a blow has fallen on the
family. '
, The Game laws. . .
The game laws have been so altered
and amended that but few persons
know ' anything concerning them,
is a mistaken idea abroad that
the time for killing prairie chickens
was extended to the middle of Octo
ber. Section 6 provides that "It shall
be unlawful to kill, injure or destroy,
have in possession except for breeding
purposes, or sell or. offer for sale any
grouse, pheasant, Mongolian pheasant,
quail or partridge, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor; provided, however, that
shall be unlawful to kill, injure or
destroy "'any prairie chicken, except
during the months of July, August
and September of each year." It pro
vides further that it shall be unlawful
to kill any ring necked Mongolian
pheasant, or any of the various kinds
of pheasants imported into this state
by Hon. O. N. Denny, or any quail
bob white or pheasant in that part of
the state lying east of the Cascade
mountains.
. To the Cascades '
The excursion to the Cascades yes-'
terday was not as large as it should
have been, , at least, to put it in other
words, there were not so many people
present as there should, have been.
The weather was delightful, and those
who went had a day out they will not
soon forget. The Orchestra furnished
some good music, the scenery -was at
its best, the autumn tints giving a new
charm to the hillsides, and ; the ozone
being abundant and bit that quality
whioh only the mountains can furnish.
AN EXPEET8 OPINION- ' " :
What Key. M. Cebern, of Ann Arbor, Baa
to (ay About These Newly DiseoTcred -Gospels.
The Rev. Camden M. Coburn, of Ann
Arbor, Mich., a profound Biblical
scholar, after a long and careful ex
amination of these newly discovered
gospels, says:
"It ought long ago have been
thought of that the Convent of 'St.
Catherine of Mount Sinai was . one of
the most likely places in the world for
finding such treasures. The convent
is old. It was built by the Emperor
Justinian nearly 1,400 years ago,so near
the origin of Christianity that choice
manuscripts might easily have been
written by those who have seen, the
autographs of the Apostles.
"Turning attention to the manu
script itself the question arizes: When
was it written? no one can tell ex
actly; it is variously dated from 350 to
500 A D. The handwriting' resembles'
fiat used in another manuscript in the
British Museum, written in 411 A. ;D.
All agree that it was written not later
than the fifth century.
"But the age of a manuscript," Prof.
Coburn goes on to say, "does not set
tle the age of the text. No one doubts
that we have essentially the. correct
and original text of the Greek and
Roman classical writers, although
there are but few -manuscripts that
come nearer than a thousand years to
the time of the original -writing. - The
oldest complete manuscript of Eurip
ides is only 700 years old, the oldest
Homer is only 600 years old, the oldest
of the Rig Vedas less than-HOO years
old" while this manuscript is at least
1,400 years old,
"But more may be said, for a Syrlac
version - of the gospels did not exist
later than the middle of the second
century, and probably much earlier,
and the very ' greatest - Greek and
Syrian scholars are agreed that our
MSS. Is either that primltave Syrlac
gospel with some slight modifications
or else It is a child, a legitimate suc
cessor of that 'earliest and .most im
portant version' which even if it could
not be traced back any further than
150 A. D. would yet date within 'fifty
years of the death of John, i. e.i as
near to the cruciffxion as we are to
George Washington and the revolu
tionary war.
"Further than this, long before the
gospels were written the gospel was
spoken; that was the method of teach
ing in those days, and there cannot be
a shadow of doubt that the burden of
the first teachers of Christianity the
gospel which they preached before the
gospel was written was the account of
the acts and v ords of Jesus.
"It has been advanced that If the
Vedas were never committed to "writ
ing until 1500 A, D., and they could be
carried for 3,000 years In the memory,
as Max Muller affirms,' and if, as it Is a
well known fact, the youths of India
can now repeat them word for word,
giving the accents and critical points,
then it ought not to be thought to the
discredit of the gospel records, even if
they were carried in the momory alone
for twenty or thirty' years, or even 'to
the time when the Syrlac gospels were
published fifty years after: the death of
John.
"But no one claims that. All schol
ars agree that there were written re
cords at that time, records that had be
come so settled and authoritative that
they were accepted both by the' ortho
dox and the heterodox; as It is proved
by the fact that Tatian gave these
four eospels (just these four that we
have, with the omissions of the geneal
.ogies for the doctrinal reasons) as the
accepted standards of the church in his
day, 160 A. Dr
"Nor were these gospels previous to
Tatian merely talked, they were writ
ten, as Is proved by Justin, who says
they were read in. the churches on the
Lord's day, together with the word of
the ancient prophets; . Nor were they
in Tatian 's day read only in Greek, for
few people would deny that a Syriac
version of the gospel did at that time
exist, and the only question is whether
the learned editor of the DiatessarOn
is right when he even dates it back in
to the Apostolic age, saying: "It seems
Incredible that the gospels were not
translated into the Syriao in the first
century.'
"Now, if our Mount Sina manuscript
is not the earliest version of the New
testament, It is at least a descendant
of It, and Is especially valuable because
itiswrittn in the very land and In
the very language in whioh our Lord
and the Apostles talked."
"WESS" GEOBGE DEAD.
An Old-Time Sport, and a Nevada Pio
neer. '
The San - Francisco . Chronicle of
Thursday notes " the' death of ' Wesley
George, and pruvGa T'a , very good picture
of him. "Wess" George- was one of
the best known characters of that land
of : characters Nevada. ' -Forr i me
years he handled the cards from .the
box in "Tump" Winston's faro, rooms
in Carson City. He . was one of the
best known gamblers on the coast,
made lots of money' and lost It, and
has pulled . the cards from the box
when the limit was the ceiling and the.
lookout would cnt A.holB.in .tha& if
you wanted it. - During the sessions of
the legislature, especially when a sen
ator was to be elected, money was flush
and betting ; ran high. The winter
-Jim Fair was elected "Wess" won 860,-
000 in 60 days," and "Tump" Winston,
wh6 was in the game . with him, won as
much more, A goodly portion of Xhla
sum' represented -the jcost price of a
seat hi the United States senate, for
the fellows who sold their votes were
natural speculators, and invested their
"earning.". He was thoroughly -honest
in his "dealings" and was- great
hearted generous man. ; To the sick,
the needy, deserving it; and to the un
fortunate his purse was - always open
and his hands swift to obey the gener
ous impulse to lighten, as far as money
could, the' burdens and sorrows of
others.-The gambler is not ranked
high in the social or moral scale by
most people of these latter days; but
looking batk over thirty odd years
Bpent in the mines, we can truthfully
assert, that the genuine gambler was
the most honorable in his business
affairs, the most "generous in his charity-,
teader-hearted, impulsive and un
selfish. His word was sacred, and once
given was invariably kept.; Of these,
Wess" George was a notable, exam
ple. He has cashed in his checks and
the' game is closed, but over 'on ' the
other side, when th greafboolt is
opened aV his account, ; there will be
found a list of credits that will surprise
old "Wess" himself. . '
KISSED AGAINST HEB TILL'
A Lloel on Oor Dalles OirU, ana a BUnder
A statement is going the rounds of
the press that's young gentleman of
this city had been- surasted foi Wising
one of our Dalles girls against) her
will. The statement besides, being
false is a gross and malicious slander
on our Dalles girls. The Idea of kiss
ing a girl against her will! A girl
might be kissed against her won't, but
"where there's a will there's a way."
Kissing anyway is not a matter of will,
but rather of impulse. When the mas
culine arm encircles the feminine
waist, the owner of the latter, being
usually the shorter, naturally tilts her
head back to see who owns the mascu
line arm. This causes the pretty dim
pled chin to tilt up, the gazelle-like
eyes to also take an upward roll,; and
the rosebud lips to take unto them
selves a witchery of attraction all
their own. At-the same , time the
owner of the arm naturally looks down
to see how the owner of the feminine
waist Is catching on. This gives, his
head a downward droop, brings his
eyes .into poi-itlon where they meet
those upeast by the other party. What
he sees in those soul-springs compels a
closer examination, and the balance of
the osculation is in oscultation; can
not be seen and can only be under
stood by being experienced. Kissing
is the babies right, the lovers privi
lege, the husbands duty sometimes
and the mrothers benediction. . The
charm to banish childhood's sorrows,
the cement to patch up lovers' quarrels
and the old and only reliable defense
of the "old man as he gets home at
2:30 A. M. It originated in Paradise
and was one of the few things pertain
ing to heaven, that our misguided pro
genitors brought out of the garden.
But as to being kissed against her will
we emphatically deny the allegation,,
and hurl th. vile slander back at the
contemptible allegator.
CHINESE FEED TBS DEAD.
And the
Living Take a Swipe
at the
Funeral Meats.
Friday was a great day among
the Chinese, it being a regular annual
holiday among the Chinese' Masons,
Among other ceremonials was that of
feeding the dead, and quite a collection
of edibles was taken to the grave yard,
among other things being a lot
Of
baked chickens and two good sized
roast piers. : Some hot rolls and other
fixings were left as a fejst for the dead,
but the Chinese palate has too great a
liking for roast- pork and chicken to
permit any-foolishness, and that part
of. the feed was brought down town
and put where it would do the most
good. In the evening a large number
of the Chinese, presumably, of the Ma
sonic fraternity as conducted in Chi
nese, assembled on the beach, and had
some public ceremonies. Several thous
and punks, such as are used for lighting
fire-crackers, were stuck in the sand,
and when they were all lighted there
was an incense arose that would in
cense anything short of a Chinese joss
and by comparison would make the
waste from the salmon cannery pass
for " jockey club." The affair seemed
to be carried out in the highest style
of the art, but it was too complex for
our reporter.

The merchants and business men of
Arlington have called a meeting for
October 31st to take steps towards se
curing a- reduction of - freight rates;
Letters have been received by many of
our merchants from . the committee
having the matter in charge. The
letter reads as follows:
It is desired that you consult with the
business men of your place, and others
who may be interested in the matter of
lower freight rates, and secure a good
representative of your section to meet
with us In Arlington on the 31st day
of October, 1895, at 10 o'clock a. M,
We have reason to believe that the
time is opportune for some ..united ac
tion in the way of devising ways and
means, to secure lower freight rates,
ana will be prepared to submit some
practicable propositions. J The -result 'of
some investigations makes it apparent
that if anything is to be accomplished,
it must be by the united action of those
interested who contribute to the trans

MtTBDEBEB HOLMES MOW.
A' Bemarkable Trial Begins, the Jury
Being Secured In Four Honrs.
As the Durrant trial draws to a close
that of H. H. Holmes begins in Phil
adelphia. The selecting of a jury be
gan yesterday, and as the proceedings
are so decidedly unique we give them
in full, as shown in the dispatches yes
terday:
'. "H. H. Holmes, who, according to his
own remarkable confession, stands at
the head of the list of modern crim
inals, was put on trial in the court of
oyer, and teru4uer this morning for
the. murder of Benjamin F. Pietzel
X he . common wealth prosecutors are
District Attorney George S. Graham,
and Special Assistant Thomas W. Bar-
stow. .
, William A. Shoemaker and Samuel
P. Rotan, young members of the bar
appeared for Holmes. Judge Micha i
Arnold is upon the bench. Only
enough people were admitted to fill
thecouitroom without uncomfortably
crowding it. Witnesses from Canada
and different parts of the country were
escorted into court shortly before 10
o'clock by Detective Frank Gray, who
travels throughout the United States
in search for evidence against Holmes,
which has been from time to time pub
lished. Promptly - at 10 Holmes was
placed in the dock. He was plainly
nervous, and looked about the room
with a shifting expression. Shoe
maker asked for a continuance. He
urged lack of time for preparation.
?There are three homicide cases In
volved In this case," he urged "and we
had only such time as would be ade
quate preparation for one." It was
expected to present newly discovered
evidence of such vital importance that
Holmes would undoubtedly be ac
quitted of this charge. Graham pro
tested against having a continuance.
He dwelt upon the severe strain under
which Mrs. Peltzel had been put and
said an examination into her mental
condition made it apparent that were a
continuance granted, the common
wealth would lose its most important
witness. Rotan, of the defense, re
newed his plea for a respite. It was
overruled by Judge Arnold. Shoe
maker and Rotan created, a mild sen
sation by saying if the judge's decision
were irrevocable they would withdraw.
Judge-Ar nold spoiled this by declaring
a member of the Dar who would with
draw from a murder case on the very
eve of its trial would be called upon to
show cause why he should not be dis
barred for unprofessional conduct.
. "So far as the plea of lack of money
is concerned," said Graham, "I have
positive knowledge that large sums' of
money L were offered within the last
week, to. prominent attorneys at this
bar to come into the case as associate
counsel for the defense, showing there
are funds at hand."
"Will your honor allow the case to
go. over till tomorrow . morning?'.'
pleaded Rotan. '
""Call' the jury," said the judge
firmly. '
' One juror had been admitted by the
commonwealth when Holmes, in a
quavering voice said to Judge Arnold:
"May it please the court, I have no in
clination to continue with the trial of
this case. with. Mr. . Rotan and Mr.
Shoemaker as my counsel, feeling that,
in view, of their, desire to , withdraw,
my, interests would . be damaged.
therefore, discharge them as my coun
seL" r
."You cannot discharge .them,. Mr,
Holmes." said Judge Arnold; '.'that Is
for the court, and If they withdraw
from this case, they may be punished.
, 'I," continued Holmes, in tremulous
tones, "your honor will give ine until
tomorrow to secure the additional
counsel.".-".
: "We will have no more debate, Mr.
Holmes; the matter, is decided.'1 .
The examination of the jurors was
about to be proceeded with, when Shoe
maker strted that the prisoner abso
lutely forbade them from representing
him in the case, and declared he would
examine the jurors and witnesses him
self.
. Judge Arnold said he would permit
Holmes, to question the jurors, if he
so desired. Enoch Turner, the first
juror, was turned over to Holmes for
examination. He had already stated
he had formed an opinion in the case,
but could nevertheless try it according
to the evidence. Holmes challenged
him preemptorily," Frederick Slump,
sr., was accepted by both Graham and
Holmes. .Rotan and Shoemaker arose,
and declared they felt obliged to with
draw from the ease," regardless of con
sequences. .
"You must take the consequences,
then," said the judge, and they left
the courtroom.. -
The commonwealth's officers, con
sulted with the judge and then called
upon Everett A. Scbofield and J. M.
Fahay, young lawyers, who agreed to
assume the "grave responsibility, with
all aid possible . from Mr. Graham.
Holmes objected on the ground as he
knew nothing of these gentlemen he
should not care to entrust bis life to
them. "So far as aid from Graham is
concerned," he Added, with unveiled
bitterness, nI had abundant proof last
year what promised aid from the dis
trict attorney's office means. .May. I
be allowed a postpohemenXtnT'tomor
row tosee R.,O..Moon, who Is already
familiar .with the case, and whom I
know I can engage?"
"Do you, then," refuse to allow these
gentlemen to defend you?' V
I do, sir; if 1 am not allowed a con
tinuance until tomorrow I must ask to
try the case myself." -
We will go bn" today," said the
udge, "and we will see about engag
ing Moon later on." ' '
The examination of jurors was then
resumed.: At 1:45 p. if. 12 jurors had
been selected. The court took recess
until 3 P. M. Lawyer Moon, declined
to participate in the case unless a con
tinuance was granted," and as Judge
Arnold refused this, Holmes will have
to act as his own lawyer.
HE CAM IV BITE IRISH.
The Sole Survivor of the Johnstown Flood
as an Irish Scribe.
, , "The last, the sole survivor of the
Johnstown flood" ; has been doing the
town today. - He cannot talk, but by
the aid of pencil and paper conveys the
Startling Information that he is the
only original survivor- of the flood
.aforesaid, and the shock and horror of
that '.night caused . him to lose betb
voice and shearing. He was at the
courthouse ''' Monday, and 'among
the other accomplishments that he is
possessed of declared "his ability to
write the J Irish language; He . sub
mitted some specimens of his handi
work In that line. Sheriff Driver said
he might write Irish but he could'nt
write English, - Deputy Sheriff Kelley
pronounced the specimen French,
Clerk .Kelsay thought it was Egyptian j
while Mr. Bolton, was equally certain
it Was. Sanscrit, Judge Condon who 1
an expert in matters pertaining to Irish
literature said it was a libel, and J. B.
Crossen pronounoed it a forgery. Mr.
Hugh Gourley was appealed to and
was confident it was Jim Fairs' miss
ing will, and Colonel Sinnott said it
looked too snaky to have any connec
tion with Ireland. In the meanwhile
while the inquest was being held on
the handwriting, thesoleand only sur
vivor of the Johnstown flood, having
accumulated a few nickles proceeded
to invest them where they would do
the most good, and at 2:30 was so full
of benzine that he hasn't been seen
since. Toor fellow, theonly thing he
saved from the Johnstown flood was an
appetite for booze.
THE ELKS WERE HERE.
A Boat Load From the Locks Congress
man Ellis Joins.
The Elks were here Saturday night,
a regular "baud of them 2fl from the
Cascades who came up on the Sadie B.
and five or six from Portland. A reg
ular round-up of the herd followed and
several of our Dalles citizens now wear
the branching antlers. Congressman
Ellis was here and joined the herd,
band, drove, lodge or whatever they
call it, and our young friend, Mr. Fred
Wilson, wears a badge on his coat as
well as a fair sized born-mark on his
nose, an honorable scar received, we
suppose, in battling with some other
elk. We intend profiting by his ex
perience and when we join we will
pick out the season when the animals
have velvet on their horns. The vis
itors had a good time and so did every
body else, and after the evening's cere
monies all went their different ways
well pleased with their visit, and happy
in belonging to the brotherhood. Kel
ler, he of the bakery and the French
brogue, became an Elk some time
since, and is the most enthusiastic
member of the flock. He said to us
two weeks ago, "Gravel creek': (his pet
name for us) "if somebody give me $50
not to 'join dem Eliks. I take that
money and 'hen I go join 'em."
Alaska Icebergs.
A. W. Green chatted interestingly
of his trip. "I witnessed one of the
most remarkable sights at Muir Glacier
bay." he8aid, "that ever fell to the
lot of mortal man. We were on board
the Queen, and were about in the
middle of the bay, which is about two
miles wide. After surveying the great
fields of ice, which are hundreds of
feet high and extend back to a distance
of many miles, a great mass of Ice, per
haps as large as the West hotel, broke
off from the summit of the glacier and
fell with a mighty roar into the bay
This was not particularly remarkable,
but what followed was the most aston
ishing sight ever seen in that locality.
Suddenly a huge shaft of ice as large
as our ship came out of the water and
shot into the air a distance of 200 feet
and toppled over. It was of deep bottle
green, and the sunlight flashing on it
made it a most beautiful as well as a
terrible object.' It- was soon followed
by four others that rose from the bay
with great rapidity.- They rushed out
of the water like things of life, and
we were compelled to back off for
safety. . .
- "The noise produced by these monu
ments of ice was terrific, and when
they toppled over they rocked the ship
like an eggshell. Captain Jackson,
of the United States service, said that
he had, never before witnessed such
phenomena." Minneapolis Tribune.
. , Plctnresqae Oregon. '
Messrs. H. J. Goetzman and J. Tam
erlane, gave an illustrated lecture
at the court room this evening on
Picturesque Oregon. They have over
300 views of Oregon scenery and are
on their way East to Bhow and explain
them, where they will do the most
good. Their lectures in this state are j
given, principally because they are i
stopping at each town on their, way
east to add to their collection of views,
in order that Eastern Oregon may be
shown as well as the Willamette valley.
The admission this evening will be
only 10 cents, children- free and this
sugnt cnarge is made to meet the ex
penses Incurred by stopping here,
They should be greeted by a full house
and encouraged in the good work. We
have long believed the plan - adopted
by these gentlemen to be the correct I
one for advertising our resources, and
that the present venture will prove
beneficial to the state in inducing im
migration, is a dead moral certainty.
Gone to Norway.
. Mr. Andrew Hansen who has been
engaged in fishing -here for some time,
left on Wednesday morning for his old
home in -Norway. A delegation con
sisting of 22 friends were at. the train
to bid him goodbye, and - wish him
good luck, in his new venture. ' He
goes to Norway with the intention of i
establishing a cold-storage business,
the.principal feature of which will be
the shipping of codfish to England.
Mr. Hansen understands the business
thoroughly, gnd thinks be can -make a
good thing of it. Mr. . Hansen made'
many friends here ail of whom will be
pleased to. hear that his venture has
proved successful.
