Wasco, Sherman county last night,
where they have been attending the
nuptuals of Mr. Guy Andrews and Miss
Ida Tozier. They had a very pleasant
time and enjoyed especially being with
old friends and neighbors in that
vicinity.
Where so many meritorious pictures
are shown as at the pavillion, it may
seem invidious to single out one for
especial praise, but it is only, fair to
say that if Miss Bessie Holcomb's ar
tistic fame depended on only one can
vas, and that one were the superb oil
painting of grapes and melons, (from
' nature) , our local pride in that artist
would be more than justified. It shows
an accuracy of preception, combined
with "'masterly handling of a difficult
; subject for which the only true descrip
tive word is that one so hard to define
yet so easyto perceive genious.

Yesterday Was the Banner Day mt th
Fair Ground.
The eohools and most of the busi
ness houses were closed during Friday
afternoon, and large numhers took ad
vantage of tho opportunity to visit the
grounds and witness the different trials
of speed.
The first attraction was the trottin?
race for gentlemen's roadsters, mile
heats, two in three, fur a purse of $100.
The starters in this race were B irney.
May Boy, Dick Trumbull and Kisbar.
This race was hotly contested, and
three heats were required to decide
the winner, with results as follows:
First beat Kiabar 1st, Dick Trum
bull 2d, Barney 3d, May Boy 4th; time
2:55i.
Second heat Dick Trumbull 1st,
Kisbar 2d, May Boy 3d, Barney 4tb;
time 2:55.
Third heat Dick Trumbull 1st, May
Boy 2d, Kisbar 3d, Barney 4th; time,
2:55.
In the interim between the second
and third heats of the trotting race
the half mile novice bicycle race was
called out, and the starters were G. E
Bartelland Bert Barrett. They were
started by Harry Hampshire, and
when the pistol Dred they went away
like the wind. Until the three-eighth's
pole was reached they made a hand
some run, but from there cn Bartell
took the lead and came in an easy win
ner; time. 1:32.
The prettiest race of the day was the
five-eighths running race, in which
the entries were Tom Tongue, Picnic,
Black Prince, Blue Jay and Tom La
Mar. The horses got away from the
score in a bunch, and for the first half
mile it was anybody's race, but from
there on Picnic and Prince "began
showing a weakness, and the other
three fought nobly for the first posi
tion. When they come under the
wire Tom Tongue was a neck ahead,
while Blue Jay and La Mar were about,
a tie, La Mar slightly in the lead. The
time announced from the judge's stand
was l:0."l.
A match pacing race, mile and re
peat, between Solo and N-jllit) Whip
ple, was added to the prugram, and the
first heat was driven after ihe first
running race. The first heat was
paced in 3:06 and the second in 2:32,
Solo winning both.
Ia the three-eighths handicap for
2-year-olds the entries were Harry N,
Mamie D and Latah. The colts were
given a fine start and kept close to
gether around to the outcome, coming
under the wire with Harry N in the
lead, Latah second and Mamie D third;
time 3f .
Next came the. one mile bicycle
race, and Joe Folco, G. E. Bartell and
Bert Barrett entered to contest for the
medals. Mr. Folco made a fine start
and gave the other riders a meriy
chase to the three-eighths pole, when
he tired, and gave up the race. Bar
tell and Barrett kept merrily on. mak
ing two whirls of the track in J:U7,
Barrett coming out slightly in the
lead.
Before the horses that were entered
in the hurdle race came on the track,
match foot race, W yards between E.
G. Cameron and Tom Thompson for
$50 a side, was run, and Cameron was
an easy winner.
In the hurdle race, one and one-
eighths, there were but two starters,
Tom Clark and Little Joe. Both
horses proved to be good jumpers, but
Little Joe's age was against him and
Tom proved an jmsy winner, loapinir
over the first hurdles and running the
1 mile 2:12J.
The day's amusements closed with
the boy's bicycle race, which was very
pretty. Contest between Ernest
Cobleigb, Rue Miller, Claud Kelsay
and James Urquhart. The boys m de
a nice run over one-fourth of a mile of
the track, coming in in the order above
named in 3Si.
The attendance on the grounds was
larse during the entire afternoon, and
everybody appeared to enjoy the day's
sports, since they were permitted to
witness some of the best races ever
run or trotted over the track.

THE FAIR CLOSED.
The Last Dy Was O.tr or the Best or the

The eighth annual meeting of the
Second Eastern Oregon District Asrri
cultural Association closed last Satur
day, and the meeting was indeed a
successful one.
At the grounds Saturday there was a
parade of the stock on exhibition, after
the judges had awarded the different
premiums. The alteration was given
up almost wholly to racing and dem
otees of the track were afforded

heat anil Solo the two la.-t; time, 2:"6.

'In the runnir.g race, half mile dash,
there were three starters, Lark, Pat
Tucker and Blue Jay The horses
were evenly matched and made a pretty
race. Tucker came under the wire
first, Blue Jay second and Lark third;
time, 51.
The last race, the three-quarter
handicap, however, was the most in
teresting of the day. Tom Clark,
Baby Ruth, General Coxey and Col
T, were brought onto the track, but
Tom Clark was left at the poll when
the others were tapped off. Coxey
went to the front and staid there to
the finish with Ruth and Col. T close
behind, making the race in 1:21.
The exercises at the pavillion were
of the usual order, a fair-sized crowd
being in attendance, and thus closed a

and the relative size of the audience
at each. Mr. Tillman began . early,
while the McKinleyites were parading,
and finished before Mr. Schoonmakur
was half through. I was one of "the

hour and a half at that meeting, at
tended the "Sunday School Conven

ne Delivered a Telling Address ror Bryan
in The Dullrs.
L ist Saturday eveniug W. 5. U'R-.-n,
of Oregon City, addressed a fair sized
audience in the Bald .via opira house.
Mr. U'Rn is a farmer, and is one who
presents facts and figures in sueh a
plain, convincing manner that hi
utterances "h ive weight with his hear
ers. He is an ardent advocate of di
rect legislation and devoted the firt
portion of his address to the theory of
initiative and ref.'-rend'.iiu, then took
up the main issues of the present cam
paign, th" tariff and money question".
He has been a life long republican,
hence is a rudieul ) I'tectioni.-t, hut
holds that the tariff, as heretofore
seheduled. has not afforded protection
to the ma-s s. but has rather worked
in the interest of tho classes. As the
best methods to be adopted for the pro
tection of American industries and
American labor, the speaker showed
beyond contradiction that an Amer
ican system of finances would be more
effectual than the highest tariff that
could possibly beenaete.d. The speaker
illustrated the absurdity of interna
tional agreement to establish a bi
metalio monetary system in order to
maintain anything like a parity be
tween gold and silver, unless tho United
States wer.- able to m;intain the same
independently. This government, le
showed required 814,000.000 daily to
pay its wages, while tho countries
witn wbicli international agreement
was sought r-q'i!rl bit $ll,03;).0.)0,
therefore wo were tha more powerful
fince we required more money to pay
our wage-earners, and were therefore
a'lo to sustain an independent mon
etary system.
The speaker submitted a number of
r puhlieun authorities, including Mr.
McKinley and Harper's Weekly, to
show that the free coinage of silver
would increase tho price ot farm pro
ducts and the wages of labor, then
followed up with an und:sptitablo line
of reasoning provi ig that this would
be beneficial to all classes. Mr. U'Rn
made a forcible demonstration of how
the free coinage of silver would effect
tho wage-earner beneficially. At pres
ent, under the operations of the gold
standard, labor is not, employed and
there are numerous applicants for
every position . By free coinage agri
cultural, mining and lumbering indus
tries would be pnrourayed, hence labor
would be employed in these industries,
reducing the number of Applicants for
planes on railroads, in stores and fac
tories, thus making the ones now em
ployed in such vocations more certain

In conclusion Mr. U'Ken paid a
handsome tribute to Bryan and urged
all - liberty -lovine true. Americans to
rally to his support. Throughout his
speech was replete with uncontrover
tible argument, and was one of the
ablest and most convincing addresses
that has been delivered in The Dalles
during the present campaign.

THE NATION KOT IN DANGER
The Demand for Free Coinage Is Hot
Secession.
A writer in the Lancaster. Wiscon
sin, Teller makes the following good
hits to refute the statement that it is
traitorous to advocate the free coinage
of silver and that the nation's honor
ia today in great peril. Ha says:
"I ask In whitman ncr this campaign
carries us back to 'CI? grevely ask
i what parallel or comparison does this
come under? The Union is not in
'danger, and no one, so far as I have
h-ard an opinion " expressed, enter
tains for a moment such an idea if
sincere. The point at issue in this
i campaign, whether we shall have sil-
. yer coi pe d as freely and circulated as
freejy as gold, is not a question of
i plotting dismemberment of the Union
of these states.
"So far as the great crime- of '61 is
concerned, that of firing on and com
pelling the surrender of a fort of the
United States government, the guilty
parties were punished, and there is no
I further need of wearing the 'bloody
shirt.' for these are times of peace in
which the people demand their rights
as free men, and they propose to get
those rights at the polls on the 3d of
November. But they do not threaten
to assail any branch of the govern
ment; they are not rebels or secession
ists, unless it is rebellion to offer to
secede from tbe sway of the gold bugs
ot Lombard and Wall e tree's.

"I vmm troubles teitH heart asease
for nix years, severe palpitations, short

walk the floor nearly all night. We
consulted the best medical talent.
Thev maid there team no help for me,
that I had organic disease of the heart for
which there was no remedy. I had read
your advertisement in Too Graphic and
a year ago, as a last resort, tried one bottle of
Jr. Miles' Sew Cure for the Eeart,
which convinced me that there was true
merit in it. I took three bottles each of the
Eeart Cure and Bestorative Nervine and
It completely eured tne. I mleejt
well at night, my heart beats regularly and
I have no mora smothering spells. I wish
to say to all who are suffering as I did;
there's relief nntold for them If they will

Preliminary Steps fur a Bis Blo.v Out
liken the loek aro Finished.
At a meeting of The Dalles Com
mercial club helil Friday evening, pre
liminary steps were taken for appro
priately celebrating the opening of the
Cascade Locks. It was delermiuoo
that The Dalles should make this
event cne of the grandest in the his
tory of the city, and President Sch neck
was authorized to appoint four com
mittees, one each on invitation and
program, finance, transportation and
reception and entertainment, to take
charge of the celebration ITo definite
plan for the celebration was adopted,
other than it was to be one in which
the people of Oregon generally could
participate
The matter of the opening of the
locks at Cascades is one in which East
ern Oregon is especially interested,
and The Dalles may be depended upon
to do justice to the celebration, though
at present it is lmoossibie to either
fix the date on which the celebration
will occur, or the nature of the enter
tainment that will bo arranged.
The O. K. & N. All Right.
While other railroad companies
throughout tbe country have the repu
tation of coercing their employes to
wear McKinley buttons and shout for
tho gold standard nominee from early
morn to dewy eve, the O. R. & N.
management is above such dirty busi
ness, and the Democrat believes that
this company is entitled to tho credit
due. As an example: Yesterday Gen
eral Passenger Agent Hurlburi was on
board the train from La Grande. He
gave orders to Conductor Seeley to al
low Senator Tillman 15 minutes to ad
dress tbe people of Baker City from
the car platform, when ordinarily only
a nve minutes' stop is made. Such
fair treatment of the people is to be
appreciated, and the people of Baker
, City will remember tho courtesy ex
j tended. Baker City Democrat.

Silver Good Enough
ED. TlES-MOUNTAINEKB-
It is being reported that I recently
went to one of the banks in The Dalles
and wanted to draw 3150, that the
hanker offered to pay me in silver and
that I refused it. This report is abso
lutely false in every particular. 1 have
never refused to take silver on any ac
count, and I now make this offer to any
cold bug: I will sell my farm or any
thing else I have, and take the entire
payment in silver.

A great characteristic of the present
tee is a KruwiuK lack of enthusiasm
fur humanity. Individuals are devel-
ipinjr a tendency to overlook the com
uiuu bond existing between themselves
:ind their brothers. There is no room
today for the hermit. Commerce has
broiiglitabouta union between district,
Ann and community. Demonstrative
of this, we hear with horror of a pesti
lence, raging across the continent be
aue wo know not how ioon it may
reach u.s for tins whole world h:is be
miuo simply a neighborhood, li.
very a;e men have lavished treasure
toil and genius,niL't for the progress of
self, but that mankind might bo ad
vanccd. Witness a band of Pilgrim
risking life, property, and enduring
untold hardships in order that a race
might bo free from persecution. In
mediaeval times who shall rank with
Charlemagne? These were the sad
dest words ever uttered by the lips of
fate "that the race outstrips tho indi
vidual and that we must seo what we
an never hope to attain." So free we
-eein, so fettered fast we are, a race
iound by tho iron rocs of deatiny.

It has been growing upon us with
pairful ;learnes9 that our town is no:
pervaded with the literary atmosphere
it should have. The nearest approach
to anything of tho kind is oui-Taine
tnd - hautauquan circles, the member
!iip of both, probably not exceeding
thirty-fo'ir. Then what are the resi
Uuing? What a blessing it woul4 be it
someone would evince enough energy
and enthusiasm to organize a literar.t
club, either fortnightly or weekly, and
also here we grow cautious, are afraid
to speak but something whose power
we are unable to resist, urges us on,
we grow bold and exclaim "a Shakes
peare club I" Has anybody fainted ?
We were afraid of it, but when you
recoyer will you please consider our
proposition ?
-
The death of George DuMaurier, tbe
author of "Trilby," has been received
with mingled feelings. Admirers of
his celebrated work feel that literary
America has sustained a great loss,
while those who are prone to criticise
""are of the opinion that DuMaurier
could never have achieved greatness in
the tree sense of the word. "Trilby"
was simply a book for a day, and dis
appointed tbe author's hopes when it
failed to enter the ranks of the classics.
The book undoubtedly contained the
author's best efforts, and while there is
a chance, that if he could have lived
ten years longer he may have written
something better, public opinion for
the most part is that he bad achieved
the highest mark for which he was
capable.
