There were also a number who were not delegates who could not resist the' temptation to see the fight, " At the annual parrish meeting of St. Pauls Episcopal church held last even ing the following persons were elected as Wardens and Vestrymen for the ensuing year, Wardens, L.

At a meeting of Jackson Engine Company held last night, Roger Sin nott, James Fisher and Gus Bartell were appointed a committee to look after a racing team for the Pendleton event. The boys - mean business and will either win, or make the winners know thai they have had a little ex ercise. ' Mr. Hugo Scholz, from Monroville, Ohio, has purchased the Stubling place four miles from the city, and will take possession this week. We had the pleasure of making his acquaintance this morning and have reason to think that he will prove a valuable addi.ion to our community. We have room forvmany more such, on our fertile . hillsides and valleys, and a neighbor- i The convention .yesterday was a democratic love feast, and ought to be an" object lesson to some of our Ye publican brethren.

Henry Heppner, for whom the town of Heppner was named, " He was also a brother-in,-iaw of Hon. Henry Blackman, collector of internal revene for this district. It seems from the acoount received that he locked himself in the office of his warehouse and blew his brains out with a pistol. The attorneys for Kelsay Porter, convicted of murder in the first degree, for the killing of Ben Mache, in Pine Valley, last January, and sentenced to be hanged on -April 10, today perfected their appeal to the supreme court, and Judge Eakin, in cpnsequence there Of, granted a stay ' of execution. iOne of Porter's attorneys left last night for Salem with a numerously signed . petition asking that the death sentence be commuted to life , imprisonment, and will present it to Governor Lord today.

We are only asked to subscribe $250.00 hlf payable when the poles are up, balmce 01 completion and there ought not to be any diffcalty in securing 'that amount for such an I object. This is the time to strike, the Iron U hot; we hiva ri'iit ntw the liveliest little, or big town in the Pacific Northwest, and we can make it Uvlier, better and bier by the quick use of just such opportunities as this one no offarel u ye only need to touch the button for nature has done i-ejt. From TbursXiy's Dally. Prof. Rasmus came up oo the noon local. George Earnest Stuart left on the Regulitorfor Portland this morning, Mra-d Mrs. Jewett and party, re turned to White Salmon this morning on the Regulator. Rev. C. M.

Nolan, of this city, was appointed district committeeman in Wasco county by the state republican convention at Portland yesterday. Mill creek is ve -y popular with fisher men and populous with trout just now. Will Young caught sixty odd fine ones a few days ago, and is digging bait for another raid. Mrs. W.

The first wool of the season arrive3 j in the city yesterday afternoon and was sold to the Wasco warehouse, it having come from the Baldwin Land & Live Stock Co.

Mrs. Julia A Gault, of McMinnville, and Mrs. Kate J. Young, of Portland, returned home on- the steamer this morning. They were accompanied to Cascale Locks by Mrs. C. F. Stevens and Mrs. Capt. Waud. Mrs. John Graham, of. Biggs, came to Oregon from Iowa in 1844, with her fathers family, Richard White. The Historical Society is making special effort to have her present at the com ing reunion in Portland. The river is- rising again slightly, a few days of warm weather now will start tbn regular May rise, the flood from the foothills, that from the high er elevations in the Rockies, generally arrives about the first of June. During the past week a number of valuable dogs have been poisoned and we are informed that the mischief is under surveilance. ' Owners who have lost their pets are very indignant that the guilty parties have so far escaped punishment. - The reporter, walking around town today, digging for items, and nursing a slight headacke at. the same time. coull hardly think, along some of our business streetj, for the unceasing clatter of the hammer and saw, either this thing of constant building has got to stop or more antikamma imported into this town. . All kinds of anti es are getting scarce. All is quiet around the court house since the democratic convention ad journed, but it is presumed the boys there are "sawing wood." They com plain of the atmosphere being a little chilly, and are accusing John Fitzger ald, the democratic janitor, of hiding his best wood for next winder, but we don't believe John would do such a thing. :. It is said that a new 'play is being written for Mattie Overman, in which she is" to have a star part. One would naturally suppose she would like a rest after her last appearanoe as a star in the Dr. Brown trial. . If she doesn't thiuk so, at least all respectable people do. This is the age of sensationalism, but sometimes the actors make a mis take and we think Miss Overman will find it out ere many months pass by. " .' Through trains on the O. R. & N. will run via Umatilla, Walla Walla and Pendleton. Through sleeper?, first and second class will run in con nection with the Union Pacific, the same as heretofore, a thorough first class sleeper Portland to Spokane, connecting with the first class sleeper to St. Paul, and, a thorough tourist sleeper Portland to St. : Paul will be run in connection with .. the Great Northern railway, -, . ' - Mr. Geo. C. H linessecretary of the Oregon Pioneer Association, is already reminding the . white-haired remnant of that venerated band that just 50 years ago Oregon cut loose from QQeen. Vic's gilded apron strings, and became a star in the banner of freedom. Pio neers who were here prior to June 15, 1846, are asked to enroll themselves at once with the secretary, and it is a pity his task will be so light. The celebra tion will be on June 16th, and will be a gala day-not only for the veterans, but for every lover of his country. Many a fake floats on the body poli tic, especially in bard timed. - In Cor vallis last week a strange lady, who claimed to be almost, blind, raked in numerous half dollars by working, on the sympathy of Corvallisites. A per son who went to Portland on the same boat with her, relates that she played whist all the way down, and with pen cil and paper kept tally perfectly, show ing that her sight'was perhaps as good as the average. When Portland was reached phe was again seized' with blindness, for the further prosecution of a profitable industry, Her husband, it is also related, played the blind act in Albany while she worked Corvallis. -rimes.

Tbe editor of this paper is still in atteindence at the convention at Port land, so blame the "devil" for lack of news. - ...''.-.'"''';- A fire alarm was sounded at 2:30 o'clock this morning, and a large num ber of the fire, boys responded to the call, but bj the time they arrived on the scene the cry came "all out." We ara informed that very little damage was done. A large amount of merchandise, freisrht, etc, is leaving the Mooiy ware house billed for the Frank Irvine Co. tt Antelope. A large herd of Angus Buddy ho: were sold todav to Mr. P. Jackson, re having purchased them from Mr. C. H. Southern. Mrs. Lizzie Furter left on thi morning's boat for Portland, where she will t:ike passage on the steamer furSiin Francisco. Hon. J. A. Smit'i. of Blalocks. who h;is been in the city looking up the j)orUitro road business, went to Port land on the afternoon train. The Columbia is "mud" and is rais ing higher and higher every day, ris ing 8-10 last night, which make sit just 1 J feet above low water mark. Mr. John tjonners was a passenger on the Regulator this morning for Portland, where he goes to spe id a veek wit'i friends and relatives. The excavation for the new Williams Block is progressing very favorably and within a few days the stone-masons will be at work on the foundation. Business in both the county clerk's and sheriff's office is yery 6lack, there being nothing of importance placed on record' for the past two or thiee days.. Goldendale, hitherto a dry town, el tcted a license ticket last Monday, and hereafter the drug stores will not have a monopoly in the "ret goods" sold in that city. Mr. F. W. Wilson, editor of the Chronicle, who has beer, in Portland for the past few days, attending the republic in convention, arrived home on the noon train. Mr. E M. Shutt, editor of the Ante- j lope Herald, who has been attending ' the republican convention in Portland, j arrived in the city on the noon train. 1 He leaves for Antelope in the morning. Mr. Hugo Scholz, who lately pur chased the Stubling farm about four miles south of this city, was quite busy this morning' loading up household effects, preparatory to leaving for his new home. j Mr. M. Rice, who for the past six ' weeks ha been in California for the benefit of his health, arrived in the city today. Mr. Rice speaks well of California's climate, but says it is not equal to that around The Dalles. The close season for chinook salmon ended at 12 o'clock last night, and to morrow there will be plenty of the royal fish in the markets for the house wives who will be out to supply their tables with this delicacy of delicacies. Mr. C. M. Fouts and his force of car penters are making excellent headway on the old building formerly occupied by the Jacohsen Book & Musical Co., Second and Laugh lin streets. The building is in a good location, and will soon be ready for some enterprising businessman. Messrs. W. J. Warmer, county judge of Gilliam county, and J. A. Smith, of Blalock, are in the city today,- We are informed that these gentlemen have been for the past week on the Washington side looking after the right-of-way for the new portage rail way, of which there are good prospects of starting up soon. Superintendant McNallv, of the fa - mous "Virtue" mine, situated a few miles south of Baker City, was a pass enger on the delayed train for Port land this morning. He informed us that the output for twenty-two days' run amounted to $30,200. He further stated that he would wager dollars to doughnu's that they wi'l double that amount the coming month. The Hotel de Blakney is vacated for the present, there not being a single occupant. By the way the "weary wanderer's" pass through our little town, shows that they ar- dead nexif to our worthy marshal, and don't want to make his acquaintance. We would suggest that he catch as many a possi ble, as some of our streets need im proving bad. The Salem Journal. . rep., doesn't make very kindly to the action of the Albany convention. It says: One by one the roses fall ; Herman goes ; Mitchell and Ellis next; weed out of the party men like Geer, Ford, Bark ley, Baker and the rest. What the people want is Cleveland sound money men a dollar that's sound anywhere in Yewrppl D n . the Americans, anyhow. The granting of liquor licenses has been postponed until the July term of the county court at the request of the applicants for them. ' This leaves Sherman county, without a saloon, as the old licenses have expired. This is considered a victory for the W. C. T. U. They have been fighting the sa loons for several years, and the last two months they, have worked night and day to defeat them. - ' T If we could trace Dyspepsia to its source, ' it ' would lead back to our kitchens. In fact, the secret of good health is good cooking. . If well cooked, foods are partially digested; if poorly cooked,' they are less digestible than in their raw state. If you are a -victim of faulty cooking: that is, if you suffer from Dyspepsia, the rational cure must be looked for in an artificially digested food, and a food which will at the same time aid, the digestioa of otHer foods. . Such a preparation virtually rests the tired digas ive organs, there-: by restoring then) to their - natural strength. - : -.- The Digestive Cordial, as prepared, by-the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is just such a preparation, and a single 10 cent bottle will convince you of its value. If your druggist doesn't keep it, he will be glad to. get it thrqugh his wholesale house, ' Llxol is the best medio! ne for chil dren. Doctors recommend it In place of Castor Oil. In Gilliam County.

A man in the western part of Ne braska having a large bunch of horses, the market being overstocked, wrote to a friend in Washington City to as certain if he could not belp bim sell a carload of stock. The answer was very rief and read as follows: ''The people of Washington, ride bicycles; tho street oars are run by electrii-ity and the government run by jackasse.

The democrate of vvasio co'-inty, in convention assembled, beg leave to present to the suffragists of the county, a ticket carefully selected from our best material. No ring methods have beeu allowed'to prevail in making our choice, but our work has been done in a business like way, and as a business man would go about selecting b clerks and assistants, with an eye to their integrity and business, qualifies tions. The result of this process we now submit to its final arbitration, the ballot, of our fellow citizens, confident cliata like b:nin9S3-lik choice on the part of trie voters will be our endorse ment. The men whose names we submit need no introduction to most of our citizens but to the new voter we would introduce, first our county judge, GEO. C. BLAKELEY. Mr. Blakeley is a member of the firm of Blakeley & Houghton, The Dalles; is an enterprising businessman, in the Drime of life. He has served this county for four years as its county judge and his record is with you. Since his administration of the business affairs of Wasco county its script has risen to par value, and this county's credit is as good as that of a bank. Its roads and bridges are in bet ter condition than they have ever been before. The rights of the widow and the orphan are safe with Judge Blakeley as your probate and county judge. His nomination was unanimous. Frank Woodcock of Wamic, is our candidate for sheriff. Mr. Woodcock is also lu the prime of life and useful ness, 39 years of age, born in Kansas and moving to Oregon in early man hood, be brought with him a reputa tion for probity and usefulness, which as been maintained fully here. Ha is bright, capable and energetic and ! if elected, will bo your sheriff, himself, this is the first time he has sought public office, and the fact that he was chosen as our candidate from among the galaxy of bright clean business men who aspired with him for this honor we feel is sufficient recommen dation. D. L. CATES, Of Cascade Locks, the nominee for ! county clerk, is so well known through out this county that we consider it hardly necessary to introduce him. He has served the people well and faithfully, first as deputy and after wards as sheriff. Since retiring from the lost mentioned office he has been in the mercantil business at Cascade Locks, this county. Mr. Cates was nominated by acclamation, and we present bis name with full confidence that it will be well receiv d. He is a good accountant and if elected can and will do his own work. For Treasurer, we present the name of one of the best known and highly respected citizen of this city and county, HON. GEORGE A. LIEBE. His long career of usef jlness in our midst, both as private citizen and as one of the people's servants, (for such, he always considered himself while in office), speaks for him better than our humble efforts possibly can. Every body knows him, everybody honors and respects the man. he has served the people as county judge, and his record is clean For county commissioner, JOHN R. DOYLE, Of Eight-Mile precinct, is one of the most substantial farmers of his section. He has served the people in several ' of those trying but yet important posi tions that test the good qualities, the l probity and the citizenship of the American ' freeman justice of the peace, road overseer, etc. Thankless i jobs in themselves, they yet show what is in a man, and through this ordeal, as well as in his daily walk, Mr. Doyle has proven himself a good citizen, worfy of the confidence we feel assured will be extended .him. You will make no mistake in entrusting the county's interests to his guardianship. For school superintendent MR. AARON FEAZIER. Prof. Frazier has been prinoiple of the Dufur publio schools for several years and is selected to serve in that eapacity another ' year He bas not sought the honor conferred by this nomination, but in accepting has ex ercised one of the higher functions of citizenship, subordinating hisspwn desire and interest to his party and tbe public's demand, s. As an educator, Prof. Frazier is well known throughout the cquntry, and he has served a term in the office of superintendent of sohools. With, a full knowledge of . this fact his parly desired his candidacy again, and he ac -epted the unsought honor. For assesor, GEORGE P. MORGAN, of Cascade Locks, Mr. Morgan has been a resident of this county since 1884. was clerk in tbeU. S. Land office from '86 to '89 and afterwards, deputy county clerk, edited the Wasco County Sun a demosratic newspiper for about a year, removed to Cascade Lbcks about three years ago and , worked there a part of the time for the con tractors. v . His daily walk has been before this people for" twelve years and we feel that they know him cdmpst&s well as we do. -- -' "' ' ' For surveyor we present CHAS. SCHTJTZ, of Tbe Dalles. Mr, Schutz is an, old timer in this country, haying helped to abate the Indian nuisance in those early days, called piptieep, n.qt so very long ago, and yet be is a maq in the prime of life. He is a competent sup yeyor a reliable business man and is recommended for your support. And last but by no means least, comes : HENRY WILLIAMS of Eight-Mile, jvho as "coroner', V we hope may never have a job in that line of business on the corpus dilecti (is that tbe way to spell it John M 1?) of any good citizen wh,o nay vote for him, and yet if elected Mr, Williams will "sit on" a subject according to Hoyle, for he always does h's full duty wherever you put bim. He is too well known to' need more of this kind of kendorsement and ought to be elected in spite of it. GENERAL WEAVER OS 8ILV2B. He Tells What He Thinks Will Relieve the Country's Tired Feellue.. General J. B. Weaver was introduced to an audienoe that filled the Baldwin last night by Mr. Al Reese. They were gathered there, to hear an address by Weaver on tho subject of free silver. A number of . local eilyerites "wpre in attendance upon the general, - whose talk was listened to . with marked attention. ' Occasionally the speaker was vociferously cheered as he gave nal and forcible way. Ia introducing his subject the gen eral said that the present democratic admin titration had sat still and noi accomplished a thing. This bro-ighi out some applause, which was inter rapted by the general, saying: 'Now my republican i.-iMias, don t clap: it will come your turn pretty soon -n , j . . . . , , i do general sam muo me people party woull shake hanHs with the' re publican and democratic p.irties and treat them as brothors until the pres ent condition is changed. Among otht r things, he said: "Jan uary, isy4, tnere was si,oJ,ujJ.o:tJ in circulation in this countrv: Mar.-h 1896, i here was $1,528,000,00" in cir.;n lilion. You see, they have retire. $201,000,000 of your money right du the panic, when the people were suffer ing. The money is in the banks. Uncle Sam has got the lung fever, and he will die if he stays there. That is no place for money. It ought to be in circulation. It has been said that with free coinage of silver we will ruin the country, because England . will dump all her silver into this country. I say, let tnem oegin tne dump until we are knee deep in it. The sived silver earnings are about $4,009,000,000. and we have a population of about 70.009.. 000, which would give us a little less than $58 a head. Now, I can stand tnat easily on my head. How is it with you? If there are any of you who think you cannot stand that, I will take yours, too. There are 100 cents in a dollar, and there is uo sense in trying to put fewer or more cents to it. Vhy did Europe demonetize silver? To double the value of the bonds in the hands of Rothschild. Who will go to the polls and vote for Rothschild, in stead of his own child?" Peaoh Crop Destroyed. The amount of damage done to the fruit crop by the last freeze-up has been pretty well ascertained, and it is more serious that at first supposed, but not so bad as it might have been. Practically, the enfire peace crop of the state has been destroyed. In the vieinity of Med ford there may be a tenth of a crop, but to all extent and purposes the peach crop is done for. Early cherries are also' completely de stroyed, and 50 percent of early prune were killed. E trly pears were also in jured to some extent. These facts are obtained from Mr. M. O. Lownsdale, who has carefully looked into the matter. He says it was not a frost that did the injury, but a regular freeze-up. the like of which so late in the spring has not been known here since the state was settled. The only consola tion fruitgrowers have is that the trees on which the fruit was killed will have a rest this season and will make an extra growth. No one need be alarmed about a scarcity of fruit, as there will be plenty of late cherries, pear, plums, apples, etc. Oregonian. Mrs. Bennett In Dead. Mrs. Zelphia Anna' Bennett, wife of Mr. Thomas M. Bennett, died at ber home near this city Monday, aged 63 years. . Mr. Eennetw was born in New York, August 16. 1827, and was married to Thomas M.

The train was running along and Superintendent O'Brien was seated in the rear of the receiver's oar. He saw the pieces of the body scattered along the track and upon investigation it 'was found that two other a en were riding on the trucks with the unfortunate man. They thought be fell asleep and fell from the trucks id that condition.
