Walla Walla Statesman.
The jury before whom North was
tried redered a just verdict last night,
The evidence against the old reprobate
was most revolting, and showed him to
be a depraved brute unworthy the
name of man. ' His conviction meets
the approval of all though it was an
unfortunate incident that little girls
had to be called into court and submit
to the humiliation of having to describe
his dastardly conduct. North will re
ceives his sentence next Saturday.
A quiet wedding occurred at the
U macula House parlors last evening.
The contracting parties were Ozias S.
Boardman and Mrs. Charlotte Clark.
J. M. Filloon, justice of the peace,

resided in this city a short time.

business man of Mitchell, .and is

their home in Mitchell.
- In 1863 Louis Davenport, who now
resides near Mosier, came into The
Dalles with a pack train from the up
per country, haying with him a bundle
of gold dust valued, at about $20,000.
He sat the bundle down while he
talked with some friends, and when be
went to pick it up again it was gone.
Where it went to Mr. Davenport could
never learn. A few days ago a man
named Bernard appeared in The Dalles
and asserted that it was one of Mr.
Davenport's mule drivers that stole
the dust. The matter will be investi
gated, and possibly tho mystery of the
disappearance of the valuable package
may yet be solved. ,
the past season that extensive improve
ments to their store have been found
necessary, and the store room is be
ing thoroughly renovated and a com
modious office is being built.
Haven't you a friend somewhere
that ought to come to The Dalles next
year ind engage in busines.-.' If you
have begin right now impressing upon
him that this place is on the eve of the
greatest prosperity ever enjoyed by
any city in tbe Inland Empire.
Seventy cent wheat is too dear
to feed to hogs, hence there will
be fewer porkers put on tbe market at
The Dalles this season than for many
years past. Already meat buyers are
complaining that they cannot find a
sutficieut number of prime hogs to
meet the demand.
The O. R. & N. is evidently doing
an immense passenger business.
Parties who returned from Portland
on last night's train say there was
scarcelyStanding room in the cars,
and a good many of them complain
bitterly at the company not putting
another car in the train, as the pas
sengers found it very uncomfortable
riding in a standing position from
Portland to The Dalles.
As the east-bound overland was leav
ing Latterell last night a rock was
burled through tbe window of a Great
Northern car, striking Mrs. Harding,
wife of Conductor Harding of this city,
who was occupying one of the berths.
For a time It was thought Mrs. Hard
ing was seriously injured, and Dr.
JJoane, who was a passenger on the,
train, was called, but her injuries
proved to be only slight.
Workmen are fitting up the room in
the Vogt block to be used as a post
ofilce. The large new safe for the office
has arrived and the boxes are expected
anytime. They will be arranged in a
V shape with the delivery window in
tbe center and rows of boxes on either
side. Mr. Vogt is fitting the building
with the latest style of furniture, and
is determined that so long as the office
remains in bis building The Dalles
shall have as convenient a post'offlce
as any city of its size on the coast.

Whereas, the opening of the locks at

immeasurable benefit to the residents

seen greatly hastened by the earnest
and untiring efforts of the citizens of
The Dalles, who on the occasion of the

that it will stimulate business, encour
age immigration and greatly conduce
to the prosperity of our country
That we recognize! the invaluable
aid that has ever been given by the
progressive and enterprising citizens
of The Dalles, who have ever been
foremost in pushing this great work
forward to completion. Their private
expressions and their publio press
have unceasingly kindled the fire of
energy in oatriotic hearts who have
labored zealously to free the Inland

giving us an open river to the sea; and
we hereby extend to the citizens of

Han Hnrdera His Son-ln-Law Because
He Was a Populist.
Word comes from Randolph, Coos
county, of the killing of Andrew Carl
son by his father-in-law, Joseph N.
Russell. The crime was committed
last Sunday and grew outof an election
feud. Russell was a republican, and
claimed that his son-in-law was an
anarchist. This was one of the rea
sons he gave for the killing.
Carlson was a widower, and he and
bis four children were stopping with
their grandparents. He had returned
from town with a supply of provisions
on the fatal day, and just prior to the
shooting had carried an armfull of
wood into the house and had seated
himself by one of his daughters. A
moment after Carlson sat down the
report of a rifle in an adjoining room
was heard, and Carlson tumbled off
his chaii to the floor. At the sound
made by the gun, Mrs. Russell ran
into the house and found her son-in-law
prostrare and his brains spattered
all over the floor. The face of one of
her granddaughters was bleeding from
the bullet that had killed her father
and grazed her face.
Mrs. Russell next entered the bed
room, where she found her husband
with a smoking rifle in his hands,
which he gave up.
Russell evidently stood on the bed
when he fired. The edges of the
boards on each side of the crack
through which he fired show powder
marks.
The bullet took effect behind and
above Carlson's left ear,passed through
the head and came out below the right
eye, producing instant death.
Russell made nq attempt to escape,
and yielded to arrest without protest,
saying to tbe officers that he did a good
deed for his country, and was willing
to be hanged right off for it.
He was given a. preliminary exami
nation and was committed to jail to
await the action of the grand jury.
Russell appeared as clear-headed as
any one at the trial, though some
ciaim ne is demented. Me is a man
about 65 years old, and has resided on"
the Coquille river for a number of
years.
Will the People of This City Aid In
I)evelopement of Coal Mines?
Editor Tihes-Moustaiseeb:
I saw in your issue of the 11th an
article on the subject of coal, and the
probability of there being largo depos
its of that material lying under and
around Tbe Dalles. The only fault I
have to find with your article is that
you did not say enough. '
Doubtless a majority of the men in
this city are not aware of the splendid
sandstone and conglomerate coal
measures lying flat and extending for
miles to the south and west from the
Catholic cemetery, undisturbed by
any volcanic eruptions. These coal
mersures are exactly the same as those
covering the splendid bituminous coal
mines on Vancouver Island, known as
the Wellington and Nanimo mines.
Those mines furnish more than one
third the coal consumed on the Pacific
coast, and employ thousands of men.
The people of this city are aware
that fiye of our townsmen have been at
work several years prospecting on
Chemtweth creek, about four miles
from The Dalles, and have expended
thousands of dollars drilling down
through these measures with a steel
drill in search of coal. By hard work
and perseverance, they have got down
a considerable depth, but on account
of the fine grain and bard nature of the
rock they have encountered the past
year, they made very slow progress,
only an average of about one inch a
day for the last three months. This is
altogether too slow, and the fact has
been demonstrated that it la useless to
try to go deeper without a diamond
drill.
A diamond drill will cost about $1000.
Now these men propose to ask the peo
ple of The Dalles to subscribe $500 of
this amount. They stand ready to
furnish the balance, and will drill
down to a depth that will demonstrate
whether or not there is a coal vein in
this vicinity. None of us can say
these men are asking for anything un-.
reasonable.
This is a matter that should engage
the earnest and early attention of all.
The people of this city certainly haye
the means, energy and enterprise to
furnish this small amount, knowing
as they all do that if coal is found it
will be a crowning glory for The
Dalles, and insure its prosperity for
the next hundred years. Think of
trains coming in from the mines
a dozen times a day, and a
half dozen schooners and steam
ers lying at wharves back of the
Umatilla House loading coal for all
parts of the world, while there would
be from 800 to 1000 men working in the
mines.
There is no excuse for allowing this
matter to lag. Within a few hours
the other day, $1500 were raised to
celebrate the opening of the Cascade
looks, and there is no reason why such
liberal and enterprising people as we
have should not assist this coal enter
prise. A Coal Miner.

Shall We Have Light T
The Dalles has been in darkness for
several months past, and while the
streets were dry and the skies clear
this was no serious inconvenience.
But sin 3e tbe rainy season has set in
and traveling the 9treets made incon
venient under tbe most favorable cir
cumstances, pedestrians want lights to
guide them to and from their places of
business and homes. The fact is they
demand a little light on the subject,
and if no agreement can be reached
with the electric light company for
lighting the streets, some other plan
ought to be provided at once. We un
derstand the company stands firm on
its offer to furnish twenty lights at $12
a month the year round, and will come
no lower. The city could afford to pay
this rate for half the year, but not for
the entire year, no there is little hope
of the company and the council arriv
ing at an agreement. The next best
thing to electricity will be coal oil
lamps, and tbe city authorities are
taking steps to have them put up, work
men now being engaged digging holes
for lamp posts.

EDI TIMB8-MOUSTAIHIKB-
Too much cannot be said in praise of
the citizens of The Dalles for the socia
bility and kindness shown their
country cousins during the celebration
of the opening of the locks.
With such an immense crowd of peo
ple, one would naturally suppose all
could not be properly entertained, but
if there were any visitors who were
not properly cared for and who did not
thoroughly enjoy themselves, it was
certainly their own fault, and no fault
of those who had the management of
the celebration in charge. I was so
pleased with the celebration that I re
gret there is not another opening to
celebrate soon.
I hope we may ere long have an op
portunity to join the people of the
upper country in celebrating tbe open
ing of the Celilo portage or something
better, in which The Dalles will , take
a prominent part. M. B. Zumwalt.
A Sac religions Practice.
At Johannesburg, Africa, the other
day, the Volsraad, by a vote of 15 to 10,
resolved to put a stop to any attempt
to induce rainfall by exploding dyna
mite in the air. The chairman said it
was a monstrous thing to shoot into
the clouds and a defiance of the Al
mighty. ' Some, of the members were
in favor of imprisoning those who were
guilty of the sacrilege. They are
funny people down In Johannesburg.
They are the same 'as the people of
New ' Amsterdam as ' described " by
Washington Irving.

The Town of Athena Visited and a Clean
Sweep Made.
Burglars swooped down ' upon the
town of Athena last Saturday night
and literally ransaeked the business
portion from pillar to post. Six stores
all that there is in town were en
tered and robbed.
In none of the stores did. the burglars
find much to their liking, although all
money found in the tills was taken.
Articles cf merchandise were sampled
sparingly, only such goods being taken
as could be worn or carried easily
without detection. Particulars as to
the method of robbery or the exact
amount of goods taken have not been
received. The Umatilla county offi
cers are searching for the burglars,
but as they were careful not to leave
any clue as to- their Identity, their cap
ture is very doubtful. City Marshal
Van Orsdell of Pendleton, who was in
the city yesterday, reports that a re
ward of $150 has been offered for the
arrest and conviction of the guilty
parties.
It is believed by some officers that
an organized gang of hobos are travel
ing through the country making raids
wherever there is an opening. The
police of this city are taking extra
precautions and warn the business
men to carefully barricade their e to res

Mr. Charles Frazier, the enterpris
ing- and popular tonaorial artist, who
for the past 18 years has been located
in tbe Lusher building on Front street
has remoued to new quarters in the
Ruch building:, opposite the Chronicle
office, where he has associated himself
with Mr. T. J. Lynch, in opening to
the public elegant tonsorial parlors.
Mr, Frazier through his long and con
tinuous residence in The Dalles has
proved himself to be an affable gentle
man with whom it is a pleasure for his
many friends to meet and converse so
cially and on different topics of the.
day. During the first ten years of the
gentleman's residence in this city be
was constantly in the employ of Mr.
Lusher. And at the time of that gen
tleman's death, some eight years ago,
Mr. Erazier assumed the management
of the business of his former employer
and has since successfully conducted
the same. Mr. Lynch, his new assoc
iate in business, is a gentleman 'with
whom it is a pleasure to meet and con
verse, ana comes to The Dalles, after
a business career in Portland covering
period of thirty odd years, highly
recommended as a first-class tonsorial
artist. The gentlemen have every
thing tastily and elegantly arraigned
in their new quarters in the Ruch
building where they will be pleased to
meet and cater to the wants of their
many old friends and former patrons
of Mr. Frazier and the public generally.'
