which will probably not be far in the
future. Sunday School at 10 a. m.

service will be held 3 P. M. and evening
service at 7:30. The reasons for leav
ing the First Baptist church where the
Lutherans have held their seryices
heretofore are the following: First the
conflict between the services of the
two congregations in the morning and
also the proposed evening service of
the Baptist congregation which would
conflict with the evening service of
the Lutheran church.

THE M'KlNLEY RALLY.
Senator Mitchell's Speech Was the Event
of the M'Klnley Campaign.
The crowning event of the McKin
ley campaign in The Dalles was the
epeeco of Senator Mitchell at the Vogt
opera house Fiiday night. Fully 1000
people were out to hear the senator,
a ad on the platform were a number of
the leading republicans of Wasco
county, including L. E. Crowe, presi
dent of the McKinley club, Col. isin
nott, Judge Mays, ss. L. Brooks, W. H.
Wilson, Gov. Moody, J. H. Shearer
E. L. Smith, V. H. H. Dufur, F. W.
Wilson, M. T. Nolan, J. G. Farley and
Chas. Bayard. Senator Mitchell was
introduced by Mr. Crowe after a pa
triotic air had been sung by the Mc
Kinley choir, and preluded his address
with a high compliment to Wasco
county and an assurance that the
county would soon forge to the front,
since the hindrance to Its commerce,
the obstructions to the navigation of
the Columbia river, would soon be re.
moved, by me completion of the canal
and locks at the Cascades, a work he
had been inst umenta. in securing.
Mr. Mitchell then entered upou tne
discussion of political issues.
Protection to American industries
and American labor he held to be the
all important issue of the present, and
affirmed that could only be had
through the re-enactment of the Mc-
Kir ley tariff of 1S90. In substantia
tion of this position he compared the
prosperity of 1892 with the adyerslty
of 1893.
The senator next took up the ques
tion of tinance, and held that be was
now. as ho always had been, a bl-
metalist and in favor of the free coin
age of silver, just so soon as an Inter
national agreement could be reached
with the leading commercial nations
of the world. He explained the posit
ion he took last January, mat inter
national agreement was as impossible
as the building of a railroad to the
planet Mars, and his change of heart
now, on the position is that the house
of 'Commons of England, last March,
passed resolutions favoring bimetal
ism, so he concluded that England was
on the eve of coming to an agreement
for bimetallism, and further, that with
with Mr. McKinley as president, an in
ternational agreement might be
reached, while with Cleveland, who is
a monometalist, such a thing would be
impossible.
Finally Senator Mitchell wound up
his address with an appeal to the
people to stand with the republican
party, because it was a friend to silver
and advocated the placing of a more
burdensome tax -upon the people in
the way of protecting our industries
with heavier taxes on consumption.
At the close of his speech Senator
Mitchell called for all who intended to
vote for McKinley to rise to their feet,
and about two-thirds of the audience
rose and gave a yeh for the Ohioian.
RECOVERED FROM THE WATER.
Remains of Mrs. Tnrner Found Near flood
River.
On Saturday of last week the re
mains of Mrs. Geo. Turner, who was
drowned a sho-t distance above The
Dalles on the evening of September
14, were discovered floating in the
river near Hood River by W. A. Tack-
man, a fisherman. After securing the
body, Mr. Tackman notified Constable
Olinger. of Hood River, who telephon
ed Coroner Butts, and Mr. Butts pro
ceeded to Hood River and held an in
quest over the remains Saturday after
noon. Following is the verdict of the
jury impanneled to inquire into the
canse of the death:
"We, the undersigned jurors im
panelled to Inquire into-the cause of
the death of the body found in the
Columbia river near Stanley's Rock,
about two miles above Hood River,
find it to be that of Mrs. Geo. Turner,
a colored woman, about 27 or 23 years
of age, who was drowned in the Colum
bia river above The Dalles, Oregon, on
September 14, 1896, by a skiff being
8 wept under a sjow while fishing.
"Signed, W. A. Langille,
Geo. T. Peathkr,
M. N. Foley,
Thos. Lacey,
B. Stranahax,
J. H. ROBEEG."
After the inquest was held the re
mains were brought to this city and
burried in Sunset cemetery.
The Health Question.
We have no apologies to make to our
respected contemporary, the Dalles
Chronicle, for our strictures on our
water supply. We do not pretend to
any expert knowledge as to the cause
of the disease that has taken from us
already ono of our best citizens, and has
several others In its deadly grip, but
in the presence of a danger we believe
in doing something, anythiag in our
power to Sod that cause, and then
urge its abatement and we will do
this without fear or favor
As a result of oi.r effort, an investiga
tion of Mill creek has been made by
competent and trustworthy officials,
and their report will have a tendency
to allay any f-ars about our water.
But the cause still exists. What is
it? Let us have a board of health; one
with nerve enough and energy enough
ta investigate, and to act on its find-
lags. If the overflow of the Columbia
has caused it below the bluff, or if de
ficient -sewerage on the bluff is respon
sible, let's know it, and take action.
Cesspools are relics of past centuries
of barbarism. No considerations of
economy, public or private, should
operate against their abolisnment.
Let us have an active board of health
that will need no stirring up with a
sharp stick to do its duty.
Our Water All Bight.
Friday, at the request of Mayor
Menefee, Marshal Lauer and Water
Superintendent Norman Investigated
the water supply of The Dalles, going
up Mill creek some nine miles to the
last farm on the creek, but found noth
ing of a foreign nature in the creek
that would lead them to believe that
the water is impregnated with typhoid
germs. They found the creek running
freely as far as they went and the
water perfectly pure so far as they
could judge. The creek does not run
through any corrals, and so far as they
could learn there was nothing to indi
cate that the water supply of The
Dalles is unhealthful.
Deatk of Mrs. Foley.
Mrs. Benjamin Foley died at her
residence on Tenth street in this city
at 11 o'clock Sunday night.
Her death removes another of the
Oregon pioneers, and removes from
the community one of those who aided
in making the history of Oregon. She
came to Wasco county in 1854, and has
made this her home since. Mrs. Foley
was 74 years of a?e at the time of her
death, and besides her husband leaves
five children, Mrs. W. H. VanBibber
and A. Y. Marsh, of this city, Mrs.
Willis of Colfax, Joseph Marsh, of
Wasco, and Frank Marsh, of Eight
Mile. The funeral took (lace fr- m the
M. E. church, Wednesday morning at
10 o'clock.
HEW TEN COMMANDMENTS.
A Code of
Laws Compiled

mulgated the following code. William
however rebelled, straightway went
into the courts and secured a divorce
Here are the commandments which re

AM OLD SOLDIER'S ESTnUSlASM
H is Always Been a Kcpnblican bnt Will
Vote for Brian.
Straws are said to show which way
the wind is blowing, and the following
letter which appeared in the Aurora,
Mo., Advertiser evidences how many
of the Union soldiers propose to vote
o i the 3d of next month:
Ed. J. White, candidate for prose
cuting attorney of this county,recei"ed
the following letter, which speaks for
Itself:
: "Ottawa, Kan., Sept. 24. 1806.
Ed. J. White, Esq., Aurora, Mo.
"A gentleman who formerly lived in
your county handed me the Chieftan
of Mount Vernon and in looking down
the list of candidates I saw your name
and on enquiry I found it was Ed of
Sulphur Springs, Ark. He gave me
the paper and I said I'd write you and
say "Hurrah for Ed!" With tne pop.
and dem. vote you will be elected.
"Poor old Mo." will do her duty this
year and give Bryan 50,000 or more.
Kansas will stand by your side with
25,000 for the brave brainy Bryan.
"I have a list of 116 names of old sol
diers who are going to vote for him
and I am sure I .will have 200 in this
county before I get through. We have
a very large number of republican
Bryan men in our county. I feel con
fident he will be elected.
"I am an old soldier; served 44
months; was wounded in both limbs
above the knees at the great battle of
Chickamagua, Ga , Sept. 19, 1864.
Have always voted for republican can
didates for president since my first
vote which was for Abraham Lincoln,
but I am an enthusiastic Bryan man
this campaign.
"By the way, we are going to get a
good many colored votes in this coun
ty for Bryan. Things are stirred to

OUR TURNING POINT.
Now la the Accepted Time to Advertise
Our City and Its Advantages.
With the assurance of sc high au
thority as Senator John H. Mitchell
that the locks will be completed within
the next six weeks, it behooves the
citizens of The Dalles and Eastern
Oregon to fitly commemorate so import
ant an undertaking, which blazes a
mark on the path of pioneer&hip com.
uiuncing forty years ago in a cross
roads trading point, aud starts well ou
the way to the attainment of commer
cial prestige of a thriving city.
Even though engaged in the heut
and turmoil of an intensely interesting
political campaign, we should not over
look the signitigeuce and importance
of the completion of this work, which
at last is to be borne into active pulsat
ing life. From its incipient frail baby
hood, as a government survey, all
through the long, slow span of years
the locks has been he pet project of
our city. Sick unto death many times,
delivered into the hands of its enemies,
its sustenance withheld, poor doctor
ing, worse physics, but at last this in
fant of ours, in spite of all,hath arrived
at maturity in a world full of trouble.
ready to work for those who have
toiled against all obstacles, that it
might live.
Men of sagacity and proven business
ability have said that the completion
of this undertaking would mark the
beginning of an era of prosperity in
Eastern Oregon. This is true. But
as it is fuudemental "If a man does not
work, neither shall he eat," so it is,
"if a community does not orgauize and
advertise when an important under
taking is completed la t.ieir midst (and
tue locks is national) neither shall
tbey reap the beneliis accuriug to the
inuividual or cominuuity who lets hi
voice be heard lu tne forum."
We should therefore see to It that
the occasion should uot only be fitly
celebrated but that the intelligence be
dissiminaled far and wide that the pres
tige which always results from large
national undertakings successfully
completed, the fame which is due to
those who have toiled so long, the skill,
patience and perseverance which has
been exercised may be at least par
tially rewarded by the applause and
appreciation of the people for the
benefit of whom a magnificent project
was commenced.
Upon the shoulders of the real estate
dealers,properly organized, the burden
of this niOFt fitly falls. It is with fear
and trembiing that the writer breaks
Into the peace and sanctity which hath
enveloped like a garment The Dalles
Real Estate Association for many a
month. Gentlemen, if you are de
funct, peace to your ashes. It has not
been the habit of the writer to speak
otherwise than with the deepest re
spect of men or organizations who
have passed the gates of physical or
business dissolution; but gentlemen
if it is a case of suspended animation,
wake up, the world of competition and
commerce pulsates around you, the
noblest opportunity that ever man had
awaits you and your reward will come
surely. Lead the van and you may be
sure that the solid commercial sense
of the community will support you and
uphold your hands.
Our Commercial Club, so auspicious
ly commenced, so successfully con
ducted, with a future so bright with
promise, will perhaps be the most
potent factor in . this matter, and if
they, through comm ittees, undertake it,
the people may rest assured that a
verdict of well done will be returned
by all.
The writer does not wish to be con
strued as finding fault with any one.
We are given too much to the spirit of
criticism, which though necessary and
esseutial sometimes, is infinitely less
desirable tban the perfermence; there
not being tho slightest risk that the
supply of critics will run out for there
are always enough middle-aged fail
ures to keep the ranks full if the
source of t-upply should fail elsewhore,
If aught has been taid in here that
should be complained of, charge It to
youth and inexperience, and I extend
my hand to all of you in all good faith
and sincerity, for are you not "all hon
orable men," to the end-that good
may be done in the upbuilding of our
community, whose interests none have
at heart more than Veritas.

for
. Does the government itself have any
use for money?
Yes.
What for?
To purchase necessary supplies for
its army, naval, postal service and to
pay salaries, etc.
How much doss the United States
disburse annually for these things?
About 8400.000,000.
Where does tho government obtain
this money?
From the people.
How?
By taxation.
Where do the peor le get the money?
From the governmeut.
How?
By the sale of lab r and material.
Does this government in time of
peice compel any of its subjects to
s ipply either labor or goods, except
of their own volition? '
No; they do so voluntarily.
If this government was to make one
of these silver dollars and declare It to
be good in the discharge of all public
and private debts which it has a con
stitutional right to do do you suppose
it would have any difficulty in securing
men to sit in congress?
None whatever. They would fall
over each other in order to serve.
Do you suppose that the local trader
would refuse to take that dollar in ex
change for goods upon the congress
man's return?
No; of coursa he wouldn't.
Would the manufacturer refuse tc
take It for the goods now rotting in
his warehouse?
No.
Would tne laborer wbo is now
hungry and naked refuse to take it?
No.
Would the farmer refuse to take it
for his unsalable produce?
No.
Would the government refuse to
take it for taxes?
No.
Wbo, then would refuse to take it in
exchange for goods or labor?

What would the result be?
We would always bave the dollar,
and England would have its good.
Isn't that pretty effective protection?

The filite millinery parlors were the
center of attraction la The Dalles
Tuesday, and when the Times-
Mountaineer reporter was attracted
thither he was not surprised, for on
every hand be saw something to ad-
mire. The parlors were handsomely
decorated with streamers of purple
and green ribbon (which he was in
formed were the up-to-date colors of
the present) and sitting here and there
were rare potied plants interspersed
among tho gorgeous head gear. And
those hats, well they are beyond de
scription except by a student of Worth,
and the ladies, too, who were there
to admire them, were all the stately
matrons and pretty girls in the city.
The reporter chanced to remark thai
purple and green seemed to predomi
nate in all things about the parlors,
and one of the ladies whispered in his
car, "those colors are indicative; the
purple indicates everything around
here is royal, and the green indicates
our envy of every lady who becomes
the happy possessor of one of these
hats."

Smith French received a letter this
morning from Fossil, dated Oct. 3,
stating that on Friday night burglars
entered tho store of W. W. Hoover at

cured $300 in money. Entrance to the
store was effected by breaking the lock
of the front door. Once in, the bur
glars opened a can of powder and with
cotton-twine made a fuse which was in

the safe without attracting the atten

burglary was not discovered until Mr,
Hoover went to the store Saturday

Besides the money .some papers were
taken from the safe, but were found
near a blacksmith shop from which the
tools used in drilling into tho safe, had
been stolen. Mr. French's correspond
