lecture at the Congregational church
In this city on Tuesday evening of

urday, Deo. 21, at 2 P. M.
Mr. Emil Schanno returned Satur
day from Walla Walla where he had
been attending the Fruit Growers'
Association. Mr. Schanno says the
meeoing was an interesting one, and
will result m benifit to the fruit grow
ers of the Northwest.
At Baker city last Friday Judge
Eakin sentenced Martin Hill to life im
prisonment in the penitentiary, he
having been convicted of rape upon
his own daughter. It is a -weakness of
our law that such an offense cannot be
punished by death.
Prof. Birgfeld and Mr. Hansen have
been busy today selling tickets to the
Seventh Annual ball to be given by
the Gesang Verein on the evening of
Dec. 21, and report having met with

were entertained that he would re
cover.
Invitations have just been issued for
the grand military- fete to be given
Christmas night bv the officers of the
Third Regiment O. N. G. This with'
out doubt will be one of the grandest
events in this line ever held in the
city. The promonade concert, with a
full band will be something unusual,
and the programme which is to inter
vene between dances will be supurb.
Complete programme will be published"
later.
The jury before whom Huprichs and
Marshal were tried last Saturday re
turned a verdict of guiltv, and thin
morning the culprits were taken be
fore Justice Davis and sentenced to
three months' imprisonment in the
county jail. They will be put to re
novating the jail, and after that work
is completed will be allowed -to take
exercise repairing the streets under
the supervision of the city marshal.
Since Francis Schlatter, the mes-
siah of the nineteenth century, disap
peared from Denver & month ago, his
whereabouts has been a mystery. But
very naturally he should turn up in
The Dalle?, today the most attractive
city in tne Aorthwest. His name ap
peared upon the Umatilla house regis
ter last Saturday, but the healer has
kept himself in seclusion since hia ar
rival, at least so far as newspaper re
porters are concerned.
OREGON'S CONVICTS.
What It Cost to Convey Them to the
Penitentiary.
So far this year 411 men have been
received at the Oregon penitentiary,
and it has cost the state $21,713.88 for
sheriffs' fees, guards and transporta
tion to convey them from the different
county seats to Salem. The following
summary, prepared by the secretary of
state, shows the number of convicts
received from each county, the number
of guards accompanying the several
sheriffs, and the amount paid for the
same from January 14 to Dec. 1

By this it will be seen that it costs
on an average $222 61 to get a prisoner
from Lake county to the penitentiary,
$189.30 from Grant, $50.22 from Wasco,
$10.95 from Multnomah, and $18.25
from Marion. While the expense of
conveying prisoners from all or tne
counties seems to be pretty high, the
Marion county sheriff's bills appear to
be the most unreasanable. All he has
to pay is fare for himself, one guard
and the prisoner from the court house
in Salem to the penitentiary, and bow
he figures up a bill of $8.;0 as actual
expenses, which is all he is allowed
under the law of 1895, is a mystery.
Perhaps Sheriff Knight and Secretary
of State Kincaid can explain, and by
so doing they would confer a fayor
upon the taxpayers of the state.

little credence to the recently circu

This work, be says, cannot be com

Today Superintendent Shelly an
nounces that owing to unavoidable
circumstances the teachers institute
for this county will not convene on the
30th. This is indeed unfortunate, since
teachers throughout the county were
looking forward to this meeting with
much anticipation of good results.
One of the judges who passed on the

Oregonians are indeed peculiar peo
ple, at least they have some peculiar
methods." Every year we import
thousands of pounds of hog products
bacon, hams and lard and at the
same time we export hundreds of live
hogs. Yesterday three carloads of
hogs were shipped from La Grande to
Kansas City, probably to be converted
into bacon and reshipped to this state.
When this mode of operation ceases
Oregon will be more prosperous.
Everybody had anticipated that the
bazaar which was opened at the Ar
mory Friday night by the ladies of the
Congregational church would be some
thing out of the ordinary, but few
were prepared for the happy scenes
that greeted their gaze when they en
tered the door of that spacious hall.
The first object to attract ones atten
tion was the June booth, located im
mediately in front of the door in the
center of the room, bedecked with
bright colors and laden with choicest
flowers. Next beyond was a hexagon
al booth covered with "old glory's"
stars and stripes, where the most in
ticing confectionaries were displayed.
To the right of the hall were stationed
the booths representing November,
April and May, February and Decem
ber? the last of which was most attrac
tive, inasmuch as it contained a dis
play of handiwork that was pleasing' to
the eye handsomely dressed dolls and
delicate embroideries. At the left, of
the hall ' were the booths of March,
September, .October and January, all
very handsome, but probably the most
attractive was the first named, in which
was the fish pond, where the angler
for fortune could deposit his fee and
fish for an unknown prize. Flitting
about, among and around these taste
fully arranged booths was .the beauty
4f the city young and beautiful miss
es, clad in delicate raiment, that re
minded one of a bevy of butterflies
holdiug high carnival in a flower gar
den, sipping nature's choicest nectars.
Another attractive feature was the
gypsy camp. The stage had been pro
vided with miaiture fires, resembling
an evergreen forest, and among the
trees a tent was stretched, in which
four ladies, representing gypsies, for a
reasonable stipend, told the mysteries
of the past, present and future connec
ted with the lives of the visitors at
their quarters.

Denton and Edward Crate built the
first Catholic church here. This was
burned down in 1855. It was a rude
structure, being built out of rough
logs, but it answered the purpose for
which it was constructed, and many a
weary immigrant, after a six months'
journey, fraught with danger and pri
vation' crossing the plains between
civilization at the east, and the prom
ised realm in the sunset land, found
succor at its door.
It is said of Father Mesplier that no
hungry man or needy immigrant fam
ily ever turned from his door empty
handed. In every respect he was a
true philanthropist, giving of his store
to those in want, and often traveling
hundreds of miles to pilot immigrants
to the mission here, where supplies
could be had. Ha lived for the benefit
of his race, denied himself the luxu
ries and comforts afforded by metro
politan life, cast his lot with the sturdy
pioneers of the frontier, continuing
his labors to extend civilization among
the Indians, the wild men of the west,
until old age forbade further activities,
and at the age of 71 passed over the
dark abyss between two eternities to
meet his reward in the unknown be
yond. Hia was a life well spent, and
his memory will long be cherished by
the many to whom he gave assistance
in the pioneer days of the Pacific
Northwest.
An Important Mining Decision.
The case of Simpkins vs. Savage,
lately decided by the circuit court for
Josephine county, settles a very im
portant question, viz.. rights to mine
the beds and bars of Rogue river, and
its tributaries, the Applegate and Il
linois. It is well known that these
streams are rich in gold, and when the
sandbars therein are exposed by low
water, it becomes very profitable to
work them. The decision of the cir
cuit court determines the title to these
sand bars. The court held that in such
streams as Rogue river, the riparian
owner takes to the thread of the river,
subject to an easement in the public to
use the stream for navigation. Mean
der lines described in the surveyor's
note? or in the patent do not neces
sarily determine the boundary of the
tract. They are run for the purpose
of defining the sinuosities of the banks
of the stream. The water is the real
boundary. A grant from the govern
ment, without reservation, of lands on
the bank of a navigable stream passes
title to the unsurveyed islands lying
between the main land and the center
of the stream.

have transpired to bring about this re
sult. The date of the state association
has been changed to fall on the same
time we have selected. . When arrang
ing for the time of our meeting, I had
no thought whatever that a state meet
ing would be held at all this winter, as
it is only customary to hold one each
year, and one had been held last July,
to make doubly sure, however, before
sending out the circular letter, I wrote
to the state superintendent who, in re
ply Nov. 30, gave me the first news of a
state meeting this winter, and fixing
the time for Dec. 26, 27 and 28. It was
however found to be an unfortunate
date as I can readily see, and changed
to Jan. 1,2 and 3. This absolutely
prevents Pres. Campbell, one of our
instructors, from attending the first
week of our meeting which was to be
gin Dec. 30. Even if this could have
been avoided, it was not wise to attempt
holding both meetings at the same
time. I suppose no one is to blame,
but in justice to myself. I make the
above statement.

Accident in Crook County.
H. Taylor Hill met with a serious
accident last Monday night- at Upper
Trout, near the Grader place. Mr.
Hill left here on Monday in his buggy
and night overtook him before he came
to his journey's end. In crossing; a
ditch, it being dark, the horses did not
keen the road: when he came to the
ditch, one horse jumped it and and the
other took the bridge, and of course
the buggy followed suit and Taylor
was thrown out. He got one of bis
feet tangled in the wbPel and ! was
dragged some distance.- He finally
succeeded in stopping his team and
getting himself together and arrived
at Tom Jones' with a broken rib and
numerous bruises. He was brought to
this city last Wednesday by Ed. Dean
anjl the doctors proceeded to do him
up Mr. Hill was fortunate in not
being hurt any more than he was.

AFTER THE O. K. N.
Bumored That the S. P. Wants to Gobble
up the O. K. N. Property.
It is rumored that the recent rate
war between Portland and San Fran
cisco was inaugurated by the South
ern Pacific with a view of gaining con
trol of the O. R. & N. property. Con
cerning this rumor the Portland Tele
gram says:
Persons who have been castingabout
for a reason for the prolonged rate war
see a deeper purpose in tiie tight of
Mr. Huntington's road. It is conceded
that the attraction does not lie in do
ing an increased passenger and freight
business, but that every move of the
Southern Pacific is taken with one
end in view the ultimate absorption
of the Oregon corporation, which must
some time be reorganized and extend
ed and its affairs adjusted, or it ninst
again become a part of a greater sys
tem. 'If it be true that there is more be
hind the Southern Pacific's rate war
than a contest for increased business,
it is very probable that the fate of the
Oregon road hangs between the Union
Pacific and the Southern Pacific sys
tems. -Both systems want the control
of the lines in Oregon, and it may re
solve itself into a fight between the
two corporations.
"It is pointed out that Mr. Hunting
ton, with his usual far-sightedness, Is
planning to get control of the O. R. &
N. when the critical time shall come.
This he is doing by backing Hammond
in the Astoria-Goble road, and also iu
the Oregon Central & Eastern. This
property, recently acquired by Ham
mond, is virtually Southern Pacific
property, and under Southern Panific
management.
"With the completion of the link be
tween Goble and Astoria and the con
trol of the O. R. & N. lines from the
sea over the interior, Oregon would
find herself as completely in the mono
polistic grip as it is possible for a state
to be. - Nothing but disaster to the
Southern Pacific system or the build
ing of a new road somewhere through
the state could break the. combination
and make some kind of competition."

Jos. T. Peters & Co,
An Astoria paper says that city Is
getting ready for the biggest boom of
the nineteenth century. That paper
does Astoria an injustice. The city
now-a-days that advertises that it is
going to have a boom is looked upon
with distrust. People who . have had
their bank accounts depleted by in
vesting in boom towns in the west are
afraid of anything that has the appear
ance of a boom. It is steady, substan
tial growth that- makes a great city,
not inflated values created by real es
tate dealers.
ANOTHER MARKED SUCCESS.
The Second Day of the Bazaar as Good as
the First.
The second day and evening of the
bazaar was no less attractive than the
first. .Saturday forenoon no admis
sion was charged at the armory door
and a great many visited the bazaar
to purchase the varied articles
placed on sale In the afternoon
the attraction was the baby show.
Under the skillful management of
Mrs. Meyer, who had charge of the
exhibit, the identity of the youthful
candidates for beauty was a profound
secret to the judges, all that was known
was their sex and the class to which
they belonged. Five prizes were of
feredone for the best pair of twins,
one each for the best boy and girl un
der one year old, and one ea:h for the
best boy and girl between one and two
years of age. The prizes were as fol
lows: Mr. and Mrs. Smarts' twins were
awarded the prize in their class. In
the.other classes Nos. 5, 16, 17 and 19
were awarded prizes, but unfortunately
the committee in charge have been
unable to get the names of the babies
coresponding to all the numbers as
yet.
The evening was large, and a jollier
good natured crowd never assembled
in the city. tThe musical programme
was excellent and the tableau, repre
senting Christmas scenes was simply
grand. Santa Clause, the mythical
friend of the little folks, surrounded by
a lot of little elfs, was a scene that won
the admiration of all.
The most exciting feature of the en
tire affair was the voting for the most
popular young lady in the city. There
were 852 votes cast, and Miss Clara
Davis receiving 451,' was awarded that
honor.
The bazaar was a decided success as
a social event, ana those who attended

Cause For Damages.
Whea Judge Eikia announced in
the circuit court Frilay afternoon at
the opening of the SIO.OJO libel case,
says the Baker City Democrat, where
in Cora Thomas, colored, appeared as
plaintiff and Bowen & Small, editors
and publishers of the popular Morning
Democrat, occupied the enviable posi
tion of defendants, that some objection
had been made to Judge Clifford pre
siding in the trial of the case on ac
count of relationship existing between
he and one of the liti-jants, W. F
Butcher, one of the defendants' coun
sel, arose and addressed the court as
follows: ''Your honor, I think it is
only just and right that you should
state to which party his honor, Judge
Clifford is related, the plaintiff or de
fendants." It is intimated in legal
circles that Judge Clifford will bring a
suit for slander against the astute
counsel.
The Ideal Panacea.
James .L. Francis,' Alderman,
Chicago, says: "I regard Dr. King's
New Discovery as an ideal panacea for
coughs, colds and lung complaints,
having used it in my family for the
last five years, to the exclusion of
physician's prescriptions or other pre
parations." Rev. John Burgus, Keokuk, Towa,
writes: "I have been a minister of the
Methodist Episcopal church for fifty
years or more, and have never found
anything so beneficial, or that gave
me such speedy rslief as Dr. King's
New Discovery." Try this Ideal
Cough Remedy now. Trial bottles

heart disease for fonr years, trying every
remedy and all treatments known to him

heart disease Is corable. Do writes:
I T7lsh to tell what your valuable medi
cine bos done for me. For four years I had
heart disease of the very worst kind. Sev
eral physicians I consulted, said It was
Rheumatism of the Heart.
It was almost un
endurable; with
shortness of
breath, palpita
tions, severo
pains, nnablo to
sleep, especially
on the left side.
No pen can de
scribe my suffer
ings, particularly
durlnj the last
-months of those
four weary years.
I finally tried
Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure,
and was surprised at tbe result. It put new
life Into and made a new man of me. I
have not had a symptom of trouble since
and I am satisfied your medicine has cured
me for 1 have now enjoyed, since taking It
Three Years of Splendid Health.
1 might add that I am a druggist and have
sold and recommended your Heart Cure, for
I know what it has done for me and only
wish I could state more clearly my suffer
ing then and the good health I now enjoy.
Your Nervine and- other remedies also
give excellent satisfaction." J. EL Watts.

Bev. Davis on Gambling:.
By special request of the Municipal
League, the ministers of Portland con
fined their sermons last Sunday to the
"evils of gambliner and the cure there
for." Bev. J. S. Davis, who spoke in
the A. O. O. W. temple, suggested an
effectual remedy. He said "the only
way to stop gambling effectually is to
kill out the gambling spirit. . If you
stop up the crater of an active volcano
the fire will break out somewhere else,
and with greater fury. The streams
of fire and smoke and liva stop only
when the fires are extinguished in the
bowels of the earth. So with man. In
the depth of his lower nature there are
innumerable belh, active with the
fires of infernal love and lust, and they
are bound to find vent somewhere. If
you try to prevent their expression by
force of arbitrary law, you only
change the course of their exit. Stop
gambling by outward force, and the
hells will find vent in, it may be more
drunkenness, more thefts Or more mur
ders. . This is a law of nature not gen
erally recognized. Tbe most effectual
way to stop gambling is by education
and degeneration. Let the children
be trained to know the degrading ef
fects of the gambling den and what it
it will naturally lead them to in the
the other world. Put tbe matter in
such a rational light that they will re
alize it, and it will have a more potent
effect upon them than all the arbitrary
laws in the world. Train them to re
alize the blessedness of virtue and the
life of bliss and usefulness to which it
will lead them. Let them have inno
cent amusements at home and be
taught to love the home. Then they
will not wander into the street to find
amusement."

Mr. B. S. Adams, who has had
charge of the construction of the j
Rattlesnake road, has returned to the '
city, and reports having laid off most ;
of the hands he has had iu his employ,
only a few beiDg now at work doing
some blasting. Mr. Adams has bad
twenty men employed and thus far has
expended $550, leaving something
over $SO0, of the amount subscribed
with which to complete the work.
The rond is now in condition that
light teams can pass over it. and as
soon as the weather will permit work
being resumed next spring it willfbe
completed, so that heavy teams can
pass over it with perfect ease and
safety. It was estimated by some that
the Rattlesnake road would cost $15.
090, but under the judicious manage
ment of Mr. Adams it will" be com
pleted very nearly within the limits of
the amount that has been subscribed
by the business men of The Dalies and
the citizens of Sherman county.
It May Do as Much for You.
Mr. Fred Miller of Irving, 111.,
writes that .he had a severe kidney
trouble for many years with severe
pains in his back and . also that his
bladder was affected. He tried many
so called kidney cures but without any
good result. About a year ago he be'
gan the use of Electrics Bitters and
found relief at once. Electric Bitters
is especially adaDted to the cure of all
kidney and liver troubles and often
gives almost instant relief. One trial
will prove our statement. Price 50c,

pers devote more or less editorial space
to a discussion of President Cleveland's
message on the merits of that question
itself.
The Daily Telegraph (liberal) pub
lishes an editorial contending that
America has no concern in the Vene
zuela dispute. Tbe editorial goes on
to say:
"In truth, this invertionof the Mon
roe doctrine seems, on this side of the
water, to be irrelevant because there
is no question of territorial greed or
the imposition of an European system.
It is absurd because a statement of an
American policy can hardly claim to
attain the rank of a principle of inter
national law.
