lion, flarrr) Watklnt Addressed Large
Audience at the Baldwin.
All that is necessary to convince the
lea-t credulous that there is a strong
:Iryaa sentiment in and about The
Dalles, is to attend such a meeting as
was held at the Bald win opera house
last night. Fully 500 people were pres
eot, ar.d they listened with marked
attention to every word that was utter
ed by tbo speaker. Mr. Watkics is in
deed an orator of much more than
ordinary abi'itv and fairly carries his
audience away with his flights of elo
ouence. He holds that the fioancial
question is the great and only question
now before the people, and succeeds
well iu convincing his hearers of the
correctness of his position. In his
speech here he very clearly showed
that the contraction of the currency
by persistently endeavoring to main
tain tne gold standard among the lead
ing nations of tho world, must increase
the demand for that metal, hence on
banco its purchasing power, thus re
ducing the Dries of the products of
labor when measured exclusively in
that metal.
At the close of his address Mr. Wat-
kins called for thrco cheers for Wm J,
Bryan, and all but about half a dozn
of those present rose to their feet and
sent up three rousing cheers for the
preat commoner and friend of the
people.

bia Souvenir Sorg," which has been
rendered by the quartette all over the
land, was another popular hit. In fact
every number rendered vas good, and
conyinced all the hearers that the De
Moss family are accomplished musi
cians, able to ra-iko music out ot me
simplest contrivances. The entertain
ment was indeed one of the best musi
cales ever given in the city.

The contractors assured G. P. Mor

them to proceed without interruption,
they would haye the canal open before

William II- Lochhead was born in
London, England, in 1857, and was 39
years of age. His father was a ter
geant in the British army and came to
America when his son was quite
young, settling at jnariottetown
Prince Edward9 island, where Mr.
Lochhead was raised to manhood.
He came to The Dalles in 1887 to
work at Moody's warehouse, and went
into business on hi9 own account in
1889,conducting a feed and commission
busness in the East End.
Mr. Lochhead was prominently con
nccted with many enterprises in our
midst, his energy and good judgement
making him especially useful in tne
tire department and public works of
all kinds. '
He married IS years ago Miss Mabel
Burke of Charlottetown, who survives
him.
His mother was telegraphed for but
could not reach the bedside of her son
in time to see him alive. Kind friends
were with him however for he was the
kind of man who makes friends, true
and generous.
He was a member of the Masonic
order.
True it is that ''Death seeketh a
shining mark," for W. H. Lochhead
will be sadly missed in this his far west

Germs of
Impregnated With
Disease?
The prevalence of typhoid fever in
The Dalles at present is somewhat
alarming, there being about 20 cases
reported, and this leads citizens to
fear that there is something wrong
with the water supply. The Dalles
water works are supplied from Mill
creek, a stream that rises in the Cas
cade mountains, and the water' should
be perfectly pure, if allowed to flow
uninterrupted; but it passes through a
number of farms, and it is said flows
through numerous sheep corrals, pig
pens and cattle yards, which must im
pregnate the water with disease germs,
such as produce typhoid and other
fevers. The health officers of the city
and the water commission should at
once make an investigation,, and if
anything is found in or atong the
stream that tends to impregnate the
wrter it should be removed. The
health of the city must not be en
dangered by a lack of vigilance on the
part of those whose duty it is to see
that the water supply is pure.

Editor TiMlts-MorNTAiXEER:
Tho undersigned, having by due
authority been appointed a sub-com
mittee to make a final effort for raiding
tho balance of t!io fund uecess iry to
secure a proper testimonial to the
battle ship '"Oregon," present the fol
fowing to the people of the state:
When, jn May, 18U5. the general
committee was Appointed by the gov
ernor, various plans were devised, each
promising good results; but for various
causes the amount required to give
proper recognition to the great honor
conferred on the state has not been
rai ed. The main cause bas of course
been the stringency of the tin.es, but
in addition to this, the committee has
stepped aside for various enterprises
which sought public subscriptions.
among these being local celebrations
and the exposition at Portland. The
political contest in June last also inter
fered to some extent with the work of
the committee.
But the time is drawing near when
the magnificent battle ship "Oregon"
will have been fully completed, and
may turn her prow northward to visit
the waters of the state after which she
has been named. The people of the
state owe it to themselves that a fitting
recognition of the honor accorded us
be made. The balance still left to be
raised, if all contributions and pledges
are collected, is about $1500.
We regret that the people of the in
terior parts of the state have not come
forward with that liberality which
patriotic interest suggests, and this
appeal is now made to commercial
bodies, associations, churches, societ
ies, clubs and individuals. None are
asked who cannot give.
j. ue amount contributed will come
back to the donors a hundredfold under
the consciousness of a duty performed.
Subscriptions will be- received up to
and including October 31, 1896, and
should be forwarded to Henry Failing,
treasurer, testimonial battle ship Ore
gon, First National Bank, Portland,
Oregon, v ery resp't.

Death of Mrs. McClure.
Mrs. Amelia H. McClure, widow of
William C. McClure, died at her1 home
near Mosier Wednesday at 4 p. M. and
will be buried at Mosier tomorro.v.
Mrs. McClure was an old citizen and
highly respected resident of Mosier
precinct, having settled at that place
in March, 18C4. Her husband, William
C. McClure died in May, 1895, and
since that date her health has" gradu
ally declined, her life finally fading
away in the peaceful repose of old age.
Mrs. McClure had for many years been
a member of the Methodist church,
and died in the faith that she would
receive the reward of a well-spent life.

To Wear Masks For Bryan.
A Chicago dispatch bearing date of
Sept. 24th, says:
A feature of the Bryan demonstra
tion on Chicago Day. Oct. 9, will be
a division of masked men who will
represent that they are coerced em
ployees, who are compelled to wear
McKinley buttons to hold their jobs.
These men will march together wear
ing black masks, to conceal their iden
tity, and carry banners proclaiming
their "serf-like bondage to a pitying
world," as the campaign orator would
put it.
It is the intention of the silverites
to make this display a feature of the
demonstration.
ner Monday, came home Tuesday by
team. He also made the trip going by
team. Mr. Pierce says one ha only to
go over to Heppner, as a representa
tive of freo silver and the matchless
Bryan, to find hosts of strong support
era and have a cordial reception. The
Bryan club had the meeting in charge.
The stage was decorated with bunting
and flags.- A number of campaign
songs were Sung, and an enthusiastic
audience listened to and applauded the
sentiments expounded by the speaker.
"Anyone" who sees thiogs as they
really are in Morrow county," says
Mr. Pierce, "will say the Bryanites
are making a winning fight over there.
The Bryan club contains men of all
classes, business men, professional
men, laborers, mechanics, wool grow
ers, wheat farmers, and has a member
ship which shows it to be about the
most popular institution in tbe city."
At the Monday mooting the ladies of
the Bryan club presented, the club

hereafter be displayed by tbe club at
each meeting. East Oregonian.
McKinley Zouaves.
Thirteen of the faithful assembled at
tbe council chambers Tuesday evening
and effected a permanent organization
of the McKinley Zouaves of The Dalles,
by the election of H. H. Riddell presi
dent, L. S. Fritz vice-president, Dave
Lemason secretary and treasurer, L.
C. Chrisman captain, J. K. McAvoy
first lieutenant and A. B. Kerns second
lieutenant. Mr. Kerns reported that
40 zouave costumes and 60 cape uni
forms had been ordered, and, would
arrive in a few days. The zouaves will
begin practicing at once and will be in
readiness to parade at all McKinley
meetings during the campaign.

Are Not All ror McKinley.
It is claimed by the republican press
that all the old soldiers are for McKin
ley, but this claim seems without
foundation. Fully half the Grand
Army men in the vicinity of The
Dalles are rallying around the stand
ard of Bryan, and this seems to be the
case in other sections as well. The
Roseburg Review, in telling of how
the speech delivered by Hon. A.' S.
Bennett, ofthfs city, terminated at
Roseburg (which it mentions as one of
the most enthusiastic meetings held in
that city) says:
"An old soldier announced that a
majority of the members of the sold
iers borne was for Bryau and silver,
and this evoked hearty cheers. Next
a white haired gentleman came to the
front of the bouse and said: .
Thirty years ago the first republi
can convention of Douglas county waa
held in the old oourt house which stood
on the site of the present building. I
had the honor to be chairman of that
convention, and havo always been a
republican. I claim to be a republi
can yet, but I shall cast my vote for
Wm. J. Bryan for president.' This
man is one of Douglas county's most
honored pioneers, Mr." David Ea(e, p,f
Day3 creek. His announcement then
brought out more hearty cheers, and
many of the audience thronged around
Judge Bennett to shake his hand and
congratulate him on his speech,"
The De Moss Family Quartette.
Although the crowd that greeted the
De Moss quartette at the Congrega
tional church last night was not large,
it was none the less an appreciative
audience, and was well repaid for
having attended. The opening piece,
"General Custer's Last Battle," com
posed by Henry De Moss, was happily
received, and was pronounced by all
as one of the greatest "character" pro-
charge at the Locks, and as it will un
doubtedly be for' our best interest to
prevent that positioa from falling into
the hands of politicians to be used as a
bait or a prize for dirty campaign
work, on either side. It is a good
time now, in advance of any definite
knowledge as to which side will be in
power, to have it clearly understood
that the keeping of Cascade Locks
shall neyer be used as a political factor
The "Bowery Girl."
Tbi9 exciting drama was rendered to
a good house at the Vogtlast.night, and
was well received. The plot of tbe play
is deep and jvell laid, and requires some
heavy acting. Thestir, Lillian Keene,
as Nora Hollinan, a bowery society
leader, is indeed an actress of far more
than ordinary ability, and ' succeeded
In Winning the applause of Dalles
theater gowers whenever she appeared
on the stage; while little 'Helene, the
ohil 1 of only four years,- is' a perfect
phenomena. A happy feature of the
play was the disolving sod tie which
was a stage effect heretofore unknown
In The Dalles. It may be said without
fear of contradiction that 'Harry WiL
Hams' play is a great hit, .'and will be
well received by theater goers every
where. There was only one.feature to
mar the enjoyment, and that' was the
pi iy was rushed and out short in-order
that the troupe might catch the east
bound train. This however may be
expected with all companies" traveling
east, unless our theater goers -can as
semble promptly at 8 o'clock. .

Bathbone Sisters Entertainment.
The Rathbone Sisters had an un
usually enjoyable evening's entertain
ment yesterday. Fir3t and foremost a
prominent disciple of Esculapius was
strapped onto the lodge goat, and duly
initiated into mysteries of which this
deponent knoweth not.
iNext, a list of ten questions perti
nent to the coming winter's wood pile,
were banded around. For instance,
was asked, what kind of wood would
rock the baby? Papaw wood. Ten
questions such as this stumped the
most knowing, but Mrs. Dr. Frazier
answered seven correctly, and won
first prize. '
Charley Stubbling not being u fait
on wood, would not, so bore home the
booby. After the prizes came an
elegant supper, prepared by a com
mittee of which Mrs. W. H. Wilson
was chairman, and after the supper
dancing was in order until midnight.
The Rathbones never do anything
by halves, and this is said to have been
the best, even, of their usually pleas
ant evenings.
