ceived a telegram from Senator Hilton,
one of the Oregon delegates to the
St. Louis convention, announcing
that Hobart, of New Jersey, was nom
inated for vice-president, and that the
convention had adjourned last night.
It Is now a forgone conclusi in that
Tin Dalles will not celebrate the
Fourth. The meeting called by Mayor
Menefee last night to consider the
question of celebrating - was very
lightly attended, so it was determined
to let the matter rest, and not put
frth any effort to told a celebration.
Mr. L. Butler returned today f-om a
visit to Hood River. He states that
about one-half the Hood River straw

account cf the platform declaring
for a single gold standard.

midnight.

though owing to the growth of grain
having been retarded by the continued
cool weather during May, the weeds
have considerable the start of late-
sown wheat, consequently the yield In
some, places will be comparatively
lisrht.

of Mt. Hood camp, and Messrs. Poin
dexter and Bell, of Prinevilie camp,
Woodmen of the World, Who have
been attending the convention , at
Pendleton, returned to The Dalles this
morning. From the account these
gentlemen srive of the "royal" recep
tion tendered them at Pendleton, it is
little wonder the delegates refused to
select that city as the next meeting
place.
Mr. Schanno returned home this
morning from attending a meeting of
tha state boird of horticulture at Cor-
vallis. He says-the members of the
boar.l are enthusiastic on all matters

SECOND DAY AT 8T. LOUIS.
Banns' Wants to Barry the Nomination
His Flans Will be Frustrated.
Important to Teachers.
Considering the fact that the Wasco
county institute was abandoned last
year ou account of the date conflicting
with that of the state teachers' asso
ciation, the teachers of the county
should hail with delight and univer
sal satisfaction the arrangements thai
are being- made for holding the normal
institute in The Dalles.-commencing
on July 13 and continuing four weeks.
Definite arrangements have been
made with Prof. J. H. Ackerman, of
Portland, and Prof John Gavin, of this
city, to act as instructors during the
full term. As instructions will
given in all branches required to
secure an educational diploma or a life
diploma, teachers and those fitting
themselves for the profession will find
it to their advantage to attend the in
stitute instead of going abroad to take
a course in a summer normal, es
pecially since the expense here will be
only one dollar for half the session, or
two dollars for the entire term.

St. Louis, June 17. The convention
ball tilled rapidly at an early hour this
morniog, and when Chairman Fair
banks called the convention to order
at 10:15, there were few vacant sea's in
the space reserved for delegates. The
sentiment of the New York delegation
with reference to McKinley was in
dicated by the hearty cheer that went
up from the space occupied by the
New Yorkers when Mark Hanna en
tered the hall.
The silver men, though convinced
that their chances of getting the white
metal recognized, are hopeless, are
energetic and are waging a battle
royal for their jause.
At 10:45 the chairman of the com
muiitiee on platform reported that the.
committeo was slillin session and they
were Riven until this afternoon to re
port.
Thurston was called to the chair at
11 o'clock and a deafening applause
went up when he took up the gavel,
It is now plain to bsseen that Hanna
will attempt to rush the nomination of
McKinley and close the session today,
but in this he will fail, for there will
be a hotly contested fight on the
report of the committee on credentials
and upon the financial plank of the
platform. "
It is cww almost assured that Gov
aioron, or iNew York, wlil be given
the nomination for vice-president. C.
W. Fairbanks will place Gov. Mot
ion's name before the convention.
Senator Thurston gained the recog
nition of the chair at 11:10 and from
then until the hour of recess enter
tained the convention with a rousing
speech touching upon the policies to
be adopted by the republican party
He advocated a vi ;oroas foreign
policy, a liberal interpretation and
rigid enforcement of the Monroe doc
trine, the extinguishment of the
national debt, rehabilitation of our
merchant marine, tne maintenance of a
currency, whether gold, silver" or paper,
at a par with the money of the world.
He also lauded the principles of pro
tection and reciprocity, and insisted
that the powers of corporations should
be curtailed.
On the re-assembling of the conveu
tion at 2:45 this afternoon, .the chair
man of the committee on credentials
submitted a report recommending
the seating of the Higgin delegation
of Delaware and Johu Grunt, of
; Texas. The roll call prepared by
the national committee says the
j cases of 160 contestants have
j been examined, and recommends that
contestants have a hearing, and urges
j the bearing of these contests in open
' convention. Hepburn, of Iowa, sub
mitted a minority report.
The credentials committee refused j
to accept the national committee's re
port, Whereupon a roll call was de
manded, and the vote resulted, ayes,
568; noes 329. .
ST. LOUIS, June, 18. There was no
night session of tholconvention, and
little was transacted during the "late
afrernoon session yesterday.
.The convention was called to order
promptly at 10:20 this morses by
Chairman John M. Thurston aniTthe
hall was comfortably packed. The
first order of business was the hearing
of the report of the platform commit
tee. The platform as reported declares
for a gold standard; opposes the free
coinage of sil verj favors protection to
all American industries; opposes the

Immediately following the afternoon
exercises, the pioneers were furnished
with a bountiful dinner, provided by
the women's auxiliary, which-was
served on the upper floor of the east
hall. The dinner was largely attended
by the pioneers,- arid the few guests

nf empty dishes showed how greatly
the efforts of the auxiliary members
were appreciated.
The annual business meeting of the
Pioneer Association was held in the
evening, prior to the public exercises,

for closing the celebration, was carried
out.

A Boy Rescued.
Tuesday Louie Keller, a lad of
some ten summers, was navigating the
waters of Mill creek south of the rail
road bridge on a log, when his craft
became unmanageable and he tumbled
headlong into the stream. Being un
able to swim, he floundered around in
the water some time, and would have
gone to the bottom had it not been
for the timely arrival of Arthur Ken
nedy who waded in and rescued the
young navigator. The lad was almost
drowned when Mr. Kennedy reached
him, and would no doubt haye perished

to his relief.

sectarian purposes; favors liberal
appropriations for pensions; the inter
position of the United States for peace
in Cuba; the redirection of immigra
tion to tnose who cannot read or write.
When the platform had been read.
Senator Teller, as the leader "of the
silver wing in the convention, an
nounced that he had besn forced out of
the republican party by the gold
standard, and that he might never
again address a republican convention.
The belief is rife -that when the plat
form is adopted, Teller with a major-
i ity of the radical silver men will retire
from the convention, and will take no
further part in its deliberations.
A new fasfe has been put on the con
test for vice-president by the Illinois
delegation having pledged their sup
port to Hobart, of New Jersy, but the
friends qf McKinley and Morton are
confident that their favorites will be
nominated. It is now generally con
ceded that the ticket wijl be William
McKinley and Levi P. Morton.
Ballotting for president has begun.
The names before the convention are
McKinley, Reed and Quay. Colorado
and Idaho refuse to vote. At this hour
McKinley leads the other two candi
dates. McKinley nominated on first ballot.
THE CONVENTION CLOSED.
The Platform Wai Adopted and Komina
tioas Made Diirlns the Afternoon
Begalon.
All eyes have been turned toward
St. Louis since Tuesday morning, anx
ious to learn the result of the delibera
tions of the republicans in national
convention. After three daysof delib
eration that body has done its work
and finally adjourned. . Whether the
work shall be satisfactory to the
masses, who comprise the voters cf the
nation, cannot be determined until the
November election.
The greatest controversy that con
fronted the delegates was to determine
upon the financial plank of the plat
form. After that was accomplished.
the remainder of the platform, which
is given in full elsewhere in this issue,
was adopted without division. The
vote on the financial plank was 812
for and 110i against, the 110 votes
cast in the negative representing the
pronounced free coinage vote in the
convention.
When the platform had been adopted,
nominations for president were as fol
lows:. Baldwin presented the name of
Allison, Lodge nominated Reed, De
pew submitted the claims of Morton,
and Foraker presenter" the name of
McKinley. But one ballot was re
quired to determine the choice of the
convention. The vote was, McKinley,
661; Reed 83i; Morton 55; Quay 61
Allison, 55.
For the office of vice-president, Gar
rett A. Hobart, of New Jersey, and H.
Clay Evans, cf Tennessee, were the
two principal contestants. The vote,
on roll call, resulted:. Hobart, 533;
Evans, 280, while the other 77 votes
were divided among seven different
favorite sons. Gov. Morton's name
was not placed before the the conven- 1
tion for the second place on the ticket,
and the vote of New York went solidly 1
for Hobart.
. One of the most dramatic features of
the afternoon session was enacted 8a;ij
when Senator Teller, after having
made a plea for silver, led the Colo
rado delegation out of the convention
hall, followed by 69 other free coinage
delegates. '
The nominations were hailed with
unbounded enthusiasm, and after the
customary resolution's of thanks- hatt
been adopted, a motion to'adjourn pre

THE GOLDEN JUBILEE.
The Pioneers' Annual Rennlon s Brilliant
1 Success.
The pioneers of Oregon may well be
proud of their gulden jubilee. Never
In the .history ot the Oregon associa
tion has there ever been witnessed a
demonstration such as was presented
Tuesday to the citizens of Portland.
It, proved a historic occasion, and it
will not alone be remembered by the
active participants in the ceremonial,
but it will also leave an. impression on
the minds of the thousands of specta
tors, not soon to be effaced.
The Hotel Portland was designated
as headquarters for all who intended
to take part in the procession, and
scarcely had the noon hour passed be
fore the pioneers, men and women,
commenced to assemble, each wearing
a yellow silk badge, with the year of
his or her arrival in Oregon nlainly
designated thereon. General WiHlam
Kapus was grand marshal of the day,
and was kept busy arranging the de
tails of the parade before the order of
march was given. .
A great feature of the procession
was the appearance of fully 2500 school
children in ? in e, each pupil carrying a
small American flag. The ' children
made an excellent showing, and, as
they marched with the greatest pre
cision, each school under the super?
visionjif the principal, and headed by
the class drummers, they elicited ap
plause from the thousands of specta
tors. The sohool children headed the long
procession, and immediately following
them were the granohlldren and great
grandchildren of pioneers. Each' of
these little ones carried a basket - of
flowers, which they strew, right and
left, on the asphalt pavement in' such
profusion that the pioneers who fol
lowed them literally walked on roses.
The immense auditorium of the Ex
position building had. been tastefully
decorated with evergreens and flowers,
the principal feature being an im
mense bank In front of the stage.' on
which was woven in large letters, made
of roses, the "PI n. era." Over the
blage an Immense American flag was

most pleasantly entertained, and time,
whose flight no hand can oheck, passed
rapidly by, so we peon found ourselves
landed at Cascade Locks, but only for
a moment, when we were transported
to the Wasmtigtoo shore, when the
steamer was anchored.
We had left old Oregon, the place of
our birth, and set foot on Washinc-
ton soil. In one of the mast baautiful
and picturesque placj we have seen for
sometime. The soil was covered with
nature's green, velvelty carpet and on
either side was the most beautiful tim
ber with hedges of ferns and wild
flowers In profusion. The wind had
subsided, and the day was almost per
fect. Not one cloud was visible in all
the blue canopy above us and the sun,
while dazzling in its splendor, was
not too warm for our comfort. Just
such a day as one could enjoy, were it
not for thoughts that would riso up
permost in the mind, to cast a tinge of
sadness o'er us, and to the writer such
a thought came. We were soon to
say good bye to our friend, who would
take the lower boat on her homeward
journey, and good bye's are never pleas
ant, they always make one sad for wa
never know when we grasp the hand
to say farewell, but that it may be the
last hand clasp, and parting words are
always bitter, but to my story ngaln.
No sooner had we planted our feet on
the ground than we found ourselves in
a conveyance, starting over the wagon
road through the timber, winding
around first up hill and then down,
and while it was not the easiest con
veyance we ever road in, it seemed
hovel, and we rather enjoyed it. We
soon reached the landing where the
steamer Dalles City was unloading,
, and reloading, getting ready to start.
There on the banks of the old Coium
! bia we bade our friend good bye. and
left the shore, scarcely turning to gaze
on the scenes wo had left; .
We took a different route hack, also
different conveyance, and after enjoy
ing the contents of a lunch basket, we
sat on the banks of the river and
watched a large fish-wheel 'revolving
gracefully around in the water, and
saw one immense salmon leave its
watery bed and go onward to meet its
doom. Going to the boat preparatory
for our homewtird journey, we learned
of a very laughable, and to us amusing
incident, that was told by one of the
principal actors in the scene. It seems
that at Vancouver there were four
mules urged on board the Dallas City,
and from an eye witness, we learned it
took much, persuasion to induce the
mules to take the trip. Thev
evidently did not 'care to leave the
place, perhaps it was their-native land,
so they were actually forced to take
the trip, and as they bad ample time
to study the situation coming up the
river, they carried with them a very
independent air. Now, I do not know
much about these kind of animals, only
what I have heard or read, for some
howl never cared to cultivate their
acquaintance, and always kept out of
their way as far as convenient, with
out attracting attention, but I always
have to laugh when I think of , mules,
for I know so many stories about them,
and the one that transpired at. this

Whereas, It has pleased an all wise
Providence to suddenly remove from
our midst our worthy brother, Bar
tholomew T. Conroy; be it, "
'Besobxd, That we deeply deplore his
untimely death and the loss of a
worthy Brother Workman,
Resolved, That we extend to his be
reaved family our heartfelt sympathy;
Besolved, That our charter be draped
in mourning. for thirty days, that these
resolutions be spread upon the
minutes, transmitted to his family,
and to the daily papers for publication.

the flrit mate of the steamer Regula
tor, aud, to. them the following lines
are respectfully submitted: '
When the Dallei Cltv landed 03 tbs Washing
ton side, -
And the passengers alll jhted, four mules were
espied; .
Now mulesvare peculiar, and always attract
More or less attention; tbey do for a fact.
These mules were reared with the tenderest
oare.
And to take advantage of tbem.no one would
dare.
So tbey made up tbelr minds when they reached
the shore.
That they wouldn't be fooled with any more.
They bitched tbem to a wagon to haul the
freight;
Bat the mules concluded, they'd, let the men
wait;
So they stood there as mute and as mean as
a dragon;
And wouldn't atjempt to haul the wajon.
- --
They were very Independent and bad wills of
their own.
And soon the men found two of them bad. flown ;
The' men gave them obase but the mules ran
away,-
From the mate of the boat, 'and Mr. Alia way.
The mules ran on till they collided with a tree,
And the men were worn out and as mad as
could be;
And when you meet them keep perfectly. cool.
And for goodness sake, don't mention a mule.
Or if you do, please don't mention my name,
For they might think that I was to blame,
For telling stories "out of school,"
About the experience they bad with the mule.
