Thirty-five members of the Gesang
Verin Harmonia went down on the
r noon train to attend German day at
--"the exposition. That they will have a
' royal good time, goes without saying,
for if any people on earth know how
to enjoy themselves, when they drop
business and so pleasuring, the Ger
mans are the people. . ',

real curiosity in this section. It is a
South Sea Island ram, the property of

the' Crook Cou n ty Journal.
Some criminal statistics which have
just been published will doubtless in
terest a great many people. They give
the number of murders and suicides
which were perpetrated in this country
in the year 1895 and they show a con
siderable increase in both classes of
crime, as compared with the figures of
the previous year. In 1890 there were
4200 murders, and last year the figures
had risou to 10,500.
A nnmber of the members of Gesang
Verein Harmonie, who attended the
anniversary celebration of Turn Verein
in Portland yesterday, returned home
today, and are loud in tneir praise of
the treatment received at the hands of
the Turners. Nothing was too good
for The Dalles visitors, and every at
tention was shown them to make their
yisit to the metropolis a pleasant one.
A report was circulated yesterday-
-that there was a case of diphtheria in
the family of Mr. Brown on the bluff,
which caused considerable uneasiness
in the city. Today, under the instruc
tion of Mayor Menefee, Marshal Lauer
caused i an investigation to bam ids.
Dr. Doane was employed to examine
the case and found it to bo nothing but
a severe case, of toncilites, hence the
excitement over diphtheria has sub
sided. ,
Undoubtedly the republicans are de-
cieving themselves with reference to
what the result of the coming election
will be, since they are estimating that
The Dalles will go three to one for Mc-
Kinley. This is probably on a par
with their estimate of the vote of
Sherman county, which they believe
will be a stand-off, while a strong Mc-
Kinley man writes from a precinct in
that county, that has 47 voters, that he
is the only McKinley man in it.
While making his daily tour of the
East End this morning, the T.-M. re
porter was informed of an attempt to
ho'd up one of our citizens of that part
of the city. Last night between the
hours of 1 and 2 o'clock Mr. , on
his way home, saw- two men stand
ing in the dark on the corner opposite
Moody's warehouse, having a suspicion
that something was wrong, he stepped
off the sidewalk into the street and
started to run. When passing the
two men in "the dark," he heard two
loud wuistles, as if used for a signal.
It was immediately answered by an
other loud whistle, which seemed to
come from the rear of Blaser's wagon
shop, fearing that he was about to be
relieved of all ho posessed, Mr. -
once more started his pace up Second
street. He succeeded in evading the
bold and naughty "thugs" and arrived
home safe and sound.

Only a week now until the opening
of the district fair at this place. It is
the desire of the management thai as
extensive a display as possible be made
and to this end all who have anything
worth exhibiting are urgently re
quested to enter it on or before next
Tuesday.
The Portland Welcome, a gold stand
ard paper, figures it out this way: Two
years ago unemployed men were tramp
ing under the Coxy banner to Wash
ington. Now they are. riding free in
palace coaches to Canton. ' The great
American political campaign is quite
a "snap" to some people.
An Innovation.
The matinee given by the Guild at
the Baldwin last Saturday was indeed
something unusual as an entertain
ment in this city, since it was one to
which ladies and children only were
admitted. This being the case, of
course no newspaper reporters were
there, hence all that could be learned
regarding the play was through hear
say. This however is to the effect
that the entertainment was a success
in every seuse of the word, as are all
events conducted exclusively by and
for the ladies. The farce. "The Gar
roters." was handsomely rendered,
evidencing the fact that Miss Grubbs
carefully and successfully drilled the
participants Another feature of the
entertainment was a male quartett
rendered by the ladies, which, if re
ports are true, would have put all our
base and tenor singers to shame. The
entertainment-drew a fair house, the
Baldwin being comfortably filled, and
all who were fortunate enough to have
been admitted, pronounce the enter
tainment first class.

country, in Grant county: -
'Some sheep from the Mitchell
country, moved in on territory which
the cattlemen say shall not be herded
by sheep. One day last week, 14 rmed
men visited this trespassing band of
sheep and one of the party, who was
masked, relieved the herder of his gun,
at the same time giving him some
oointeisasto the advisability of his
remaining in that section of the coun
try if he placed any valuation on his
life. The whole rarty then fired into
the band of sbep, killing and wound
ing from 200 to 250 head, burned the
amp-outfit and departed; promising
o return again if the sheep were in
that lgpality at a given tinfte."

Free Excursions to Canton Make Votea
Against McKinley.
A gentleman of this city received a
communication from a relative who
resides at Moticelo, lid., who recently
went on one of those free excursions
to Canton, from which the following
extracts are taken:
'I was over to Mecca a few days ago
(I suppose you know where that is) and
I saw the "golden calf," but could not.
warship at his shrine.
'You know I have been a republi
can all my life. When I read the St.
Lo lis dIm f rin it shucked my faith
considerably, for I expected somethinir
b-tt-r, in i I t hought over the matter
and concluded it was probably fur the
best.
"On my rounds I "iet a good many
men who tad been to Canton. Most
of them denounced it as a sham and a
farce, some did not care to say much
about it, and others considered - it
grand. I decided if there was another
chance I would go and see for myself.
The chanco came, so I arranged to go,
and tho bead manager seemrd pleased
to have me. We arrived at Canton
about 8 A. M. and were marched direct
to Mr. McKinley's home. We had a
pleasant reception. He made us a
speech, appeared to know all about our
occupation, and trimmed his speech to
suit. After the reception, many men
nassed through the crowd inyitin? us
to have refreshments. We were led
down the street about two blocks where
they led us into a large beer hall
where there were many waiters, all
very busy. They told me this hall
brought more money on the capital in
vested than any other investment in
Ca"ton; that it was not uncommon for
this place to take in $1400 to $1500 a
day during these excursions, also that
the property belonged to Mr. McKin
ley and has been rented for a saloon
for manyjrears. A company had pro
ceeded us from Southern Ohio and
many wf them were reeling in the
streets shouting for McKinley. We
left the beer half in disgust and hunted
for other amusements, and
nrinrMtvil factories of the city, where ! life,
we found the working men wearing
McKinley buttons, but were informed
that over 80 per cent of the men will
vote for Bryan. Others told me that
one-third tho members of the McKin
ley clubs have gone over to Bryan,
and many who stay in will vote for
him at the polls.
"In Canton ImetHanna's foreman,
the one he discharged for attending
the populist convention at St. Louis.
He told me Canton would give Bryan a
good majority, and the state would
give him from 20,000 to 30,000. He
says silver is sweeping Ohio like a cy
clone. This man is making more votes
for silver than Hanna and McKinley
are for the gold standard.
"After my trip to Canton I have de
cided to vote for Bryan, and 25 out of
the 60 who went with me have come
out openly for him. I don't know how
many more of them will do likewise on
election day."

AN INDEPENDENT , ESTIMATE.
The Washington Post Gives Bryan the
Best of the Race
The Washington Post, an independ
ent gold-standard paper that is sup
porting McKinley, is by no means con
fident that the Ohioan's chances for
election are better than those of his
opponent. - After a careful canvass of
the situation it is convinced that with
out fusion wiA populists and indepen
dent' of outside influence, Bryan is
certain to carry Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Missis
sippi, Missouri, South Carolina, Ten
nes3re, Texas, Virginia, Colorado,
Idaho, Montana, - Nevada, N. Dakota,
Dakott, -Utah, Washington and
Wyoming, with a total vote of 143. In
the event of a fusion with the populists,
it says Bryan is reasonably certain of
the 57 votes of Kentucky, Kansas. Ne
braska, Indiana and North Cat olina.
leaving him only 19 short of election.
In concluding its estimate of the fina1
result, and expressing its doubt of
McKinley's success, the Post says:
"We still miintaia that in the event
of a fusion between the populists and
democrats everywhere, Bryan may
safely count upon 205 votes to begin
with, and we will stand to' the list cf
doubtful states from which McKinley
must get 84 votes, while Bryan needs
to get only 19, in order to be elected
Look at it again: Illinois 25; Oregon,
4; California 9; Maryland, 8; Delaware.
3; West Virginia. 6; Minnesota 9;
Michigan, 14; Wisconsin, 12; Iowa. 13:
totil, 102.
"It will not change anything to pooh-
pooh and splutter and get red in tbe
face and heap savage and occasionally
idiotic epithets on Bryan. If this
youthful person from Nebraska is to be
beaten at all, it must be done by sens!
blej fairmindel and rational appeals to
the judgment and conscience of the
American people."
Which Would Have Been Best?
Ed. Times-Mountaineer :
The concrete walk at tbe court house
is a fine piece of work that cost the
taxpayers $325. Would it not havo
shown better judgaent for the county
court to have appropriated that
amount for repairing tbe roads leading
into Tho Dalles, especially the road
over which the farmers haul their
produce, on which depends the life of
The Dalles? . Producer.
Good roads leading into Tbe Dalles
are of course necessary, so is a substan
tial walk around the court house, and
no doubt the county court will look
after the forjier as it has the latter.

THE REPUBLICAN RALI.T.
Last Saturday's Meeting Was the Event
of tne Kepublit-au Campaign.
The republican rally last Saturday
night was intended to be the crowning
event of the campaign as waged oy
the supporters of Major McKinley in
Wasco county, and neither time nor
expense was spared to make the meet
ing a success. The McKinley zouaves
had been properly uniformed, a 'trigade
of torch carriers bad been supplied and
The Dalles eotierrt band was secured

fortably filled, bat nos to ovei ll-jTing,
as the seating capacity was not over
taxed. The prominence of the speaker, and
the high regard in which he is held by
all would no doubt have drawn fully as
largo a crowd without any demonstra
tion, or had he been billed to deliver an
address on any other subject tliati the
political issues of the day, for there is
no other m-vn ia the sta'-e to whom the
people of Oregon would more readily
listen than ex-Attorney-General Wil
liams. General Williams entered upon the
discussion of his subject in a masterly
manner, and from a republican stand
point handled it ably. Tbe people of
The Dalles he said were sufficiently
conversant with the question of tariff,
hence he gave it only a passing notice,
and devoted his attention to a consid
eration of the money question. He
and his party, he declared, adhered
strictly to the gold standard, and any
deviation from this policy would be
disastrous, even unto produciug blood
shed; he feared, though he did not ex
plain how this disaster arid blood
spilling were to bo brought about,
whether or not the gold standard peo
ple would take- up arms and go to
shooting down the masses for voting
for Bryan, or whether tne latter would
sp'll their own blood voluntarily after
having voted for free coinaje.
Mr. Williams' address was indeed
strongly partisan in every utterance,
which can be accounted for in the
long service he has rendered tho re
publican party, and has no doubt nar
rowed bis views to some extent, ful-.
filliug the fears of General Washing
ton, that partisanship is liable to blind
patriotism and cause statesmen to
steer the ship of state upon shoals
and rocks.
The statutes of the United States con
tain a clause that fixes a penalty for a
common carrier neglecting to water
and feed stock, and it is under this
clause that the action is brought. It
is understood that this case will be fol
lowed by actions against other roads
which, it is alleged, have violated this
law.

YEARS OF INTENSE PAIN.
Jr. J. Jr. Watts, druggist and physl-
ian, Humboldt, Aeb who sntTered with
heart disease for four years, trying every
remedy and all treatments known to him
self and fellow-practitioners; believes that
heart disease is curable. Ilo writes:
"I wish to tell what your valuable medi
cine has done for me. For fonr years I had
heart disease of the very worst kind. Sev
eral physicians I consulted, said it waa
Rheumatism of the Heart.
It was almost un
endurable; with
shortness of
breath, palpita
tions, severe
pains, unablo to
sleep, especially
on the left side.
No pen can de
scribe my suffer
ings, particularly
during the last
months of those
four weary years.
DR. J. H. WATTS, I finally tried
Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure,
and was surprised at the result. It put new
life Into and made a new man of me. 1
have pot had a symptom of trouble since
and I am satisfied your medicine has cured
me for I hays now enjoyed, since taking It
Three Years of Splendid Health.
I 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 rrforo clearly my suffer
ing then and the good health I now enjoy.
Tour Nervine and other remedies also
give excellent satisfaction." J. H. Watts.

IS UE AN ANARCHIST t ,
A Brother of Harvey Scott Repudiates the
Colu Standard. .
Because Harvey Scott,- the able edi
tor of the Oregonian, is an advocate of
the gold standard is no reason why tbe
whole Scott family should be, but if
Uarvev is not mistaken he has a
brother who Is one of those despised
"anarchists." The Portland Toma
hawk credits the -brother, who is a"
farmir living near Forest Grove, as
having said:
"For upwards of 14 years have I
taken the Oregonian and steadfastly
advocated its every policy. Natural
nffection and pride in the success of a
brother made me overlook many faults.
Often I knew that from a farmer's
view his opinions were greatly in
error, but still I would cling to and
sustain his errors from reasons purely
natural. I was proud of Harvey At
present I am not with him. I realize
that for 14 years I have labored and
sold my products in a falling market,
while Harvey has had the advantage of
selling his paper in a rising market.
I have becon.e so poor that my Oregon
ian must be discontinued. My land.
which was at one- time worth $30 per
acre, has shrunken in value to one-
fourth of that figure, and mv neigh
bors are in identically like circum
stances. None of us t-an serf any hope
for relief in the triumph of tbe gold
standard,. Hence am I and my neigh
bors for silver." , -
TheReal "Anarchist."
Herr Most, the notorious anarchist,
uas come out in ms flew YorK paper
for the gold standard and denounces
the "silver lunatics" in . one of his
frothy interviews. Tho fun of this
lies in the fact that the gold bug papers
had been saying almost every day that
II.-rr Most should have been nominatd
by the anarchists at Chicago. Your
true anarchist finds his congenial place
in tbe gold crowd in fact, they them
selves are the genuine anarchist th

Patriotic Words of an Old Vetera! of the
Civil War.
A meet'ng of old soldiers was held
at Atchison, Kansas, the other day,
composed of veterans who repel the
dictation of "generals" as to how they
shall vote. Robert Tompkins, of the
Twenty-ninth Wisconsin, was elected
chairman and in his address said in
part: , .
"This contingent of old soldiers as
sembled here tonight, thousands of
others throughout Kansas, and hun
dreds of thousands more all oyer the
country, are fighting for tbe same ob
ject now to restore the government
of the fathers; to reclaim the republic
of the patriots; to re-establish tbe
equality of the citizen before the law,
ind to bring back the silver dollar of
tbe constitution.
"When Fort Sumpter was fired upon,
the boys on the farm needed no gen
erals to teach them patriotism. The
boys who whipped the flower of South
ern chivalry and rolled back the tide
of rebellion, need no generals to teach
them politics now; they need no gen
erals to teach them that the bond
holder should not be given a gold dol
lar for bis 40-cent paper dollar.
"iVo old soldier will question the
valor of tbe distinguished generals who
yisited Atchison on the morning of j
October I, on their, tour beating tbe i
"long roll" of alarm for tbe gold stand
ard. Their high rank and conspic
uous service ih the army have crowned
them with political favors and civic
honors untold.
" It is well to remember, however,
that the one-armed private is as much
a hero as the one-armed general; that
the one-legged private gave as much to
hiscountry as the one-legged general.
It is always well to remenbor that tho
general retired on half pay a com
petency; the private retired with his
discharge, and, if disabled, with a
small pension.
It is a historical' fact that many
tY.usands of privates in the ranks
were tbe i tellectual and moral su e-
riors .f many. generals in coinmanl.
and are as competent to vote intel
ligently as many epauletted officers
ho once had a right to -direct their
physical action, but never had the
power to dictate their political opin
ions or control their votes.
These generals, who have been well
tiken care of and do not live in fear
of fie wolf entering at their door.
have challenged the patriotism and
nonesty, ana classed as conspirators
and repudiators all old soldiers who
in the exercNe of their rights as
American citizens, for which they
fought,, have the manhood to deter
mine their own political action and
the courage to vote in accordance with
the r own convictions.
Soldiers who believe in the adopt
ion of a finam-ial policy that will re
sume t le use of silver as a legal tender
mone. , i dependent of all the nations
on earth, anl favor the election of
W. J.. Bryan to the presidency . to en
force that policy, do not take political
inspirati in from Mark Hanna and the
bondhol ler., who are swinging theso
generals around the circle in all pomp
and paraphernalia of the past war."
