The total enumeration for the year,
of persons of pchool ago (between tiie
ages of 4 and 20 years) as shown by the
clerk's report is 1309, and the enumera
tion for the past four years has been.
1S93, 907: 1894, 1058; 1S95, 1212; 1890,
1282, which shows a substantial and
steady growth in the population of the
district. Since the district will draw
about $5 per each person of school age
from the state school fund.the receipts
this year from thatsource will be some
thing over $6500.
That the financial affairs of the dis
trict have been well managed the past
five years is evidenced by a comparison
of the standing of the district in 1893
with its present condition, taking into
consideration that during this time
the Academy Park building has been
bought and refitted, also that a lot has
been bought in Tackman's addition, and
a school building has been moved to
that property, besides the district-has
established its own water works, and
all the buildings, except the one in
Tackman's addition, are supplied with
water, without cost of rent. In 1893,
the liabilities of the district, less re
sources, were 1,618.95. Now, after
the district has acquired title to the
property above mentioned, they are
only $265.31.

even better than the one given Thurs

trayed by local talent. Little time had
been devoted to rehearsals, and the
acting might have been improved upon
by more thorough training; but the
parts both in the tableaux ana dramas
were exceptionally well taken, and re
flected great credit upon thoso who
took part; also are Mr. Erntt and Mrs.

Washing for Gold Without Water
A tourist returned .from Mexico re
ports having seen two -Mexicans dry
washing for gold, says an exchange.
They were at work in a dry gulch.
without a sign of water in sight, and
had brought the auriferous sand in
ba9ket9 to the mouth cf the ravine,
where tho wind blew strongly down
the "alley. Their washing apparatus
consisted of a heavy army blanket, in
the center of which they placed about
a peck of the sand; then, each Mexican
tiking hold of the blanket by the cor
ners, they tossed the sand high aloft
again and again. The wind blew away
the fine sand, while the heavier parti
cles with the gold fell straight back
into the blanket. When at last they
paused there remained in the blanket
a double handful of gravel and heavy
sand, in which glittered a few yellow
specks of gold. The men cleaned up
three and four dollars a day.

his examination the presumption was
that he committed suicide.
Vv hen the news of his aisappoarance
reached his home both Mr. and Mrs.
Montgomery were prostrated. The
best detectives that could be found
were at once put upon the case, and
for ten months there has been no ces
sation of effort among the searchers.
This information is conveyed in a
letter from Virginia, written by an in
surgent officer who went home for
treatment of wounds he received in
battle. This letter is of very recent
date, and the writer claims to know
Montgomery very well. Ho says when
he last saw him he was in excellont
health and spirits. There is no reason
to doubt the report as it is remembered
that the cadet wa9 ever enthusiastic
in the cause of Cuba libre. That he
should have made his way to the island
and joined the insurgents is regarded
as highly probable.
"They Are tho People."
The legislators of Oregon and Wash'
ington are now in session, and for the
time being "they are the people."
The day is not far distant, though, be
fore many of them, like their predeces
bors,"wiil for obvious reasons wish they
had never seen the respective state
houses. Of course they will all re
member some pleasant features con
nected with the service of their con
stituents, such as free entertainment,
passes, etc.; but between the "pull" of
the office seeker, the fine and coarse
work of the lobby member and the
thousand and one ' vexations, many
will get enough of the "good thing:."
But the citizens who spend this same
season their time and money traveling,
and who use the Wisconsin Central
lines between St. Paul or Minneapolis
and Chicago or Milwaukee will be sub
ject to no such annoyances. They will
get the best service on earth and a
square meal at reasonable cost. For

Lawlessness at Mosler.
, Last Sunday night L. J. Davenport
and family, of Mosier, were absent
from home attending some exercises at
the school house, and while they were
away some villainous rascals cut the
wire on a line of fence for a distance
of nearly 500 yards, also broke down
the posts of the fence. Monday morn
ing Mr. Davenport found three cf his
cows had been poisoned, but was able
to save the lives of two. Ha so far has
been unable to Ex the guilt of these
misdeeds upon anyone, but believes he
knows who the guilty party is. Should
he be caught, the severest punishment
should be meted out to him, for such
lawlessness as this can have no excuse,
The penitentiary would bo a paradise
for a wretch guilty of such conduct.
To Bund the District!
At an election of the legal voters of
Dalies school district No. 12, held last
Saturday, it was voted to boud the dis
trict for $20,000 for the purpos-i taking
up the present floating debt of about
$7,000 and to erect and furnish an eight-
room school building in Academy
Park. It was by no means a full vote,
only 142 ballots being cast, of which 75
were for bonding the district and 67
against. It is exDected by the direct
ors that the bonds can be floated at
premium that will realize ia the neigh
borhcod of $22,000,which will be ample
to erect the new building and liquidat
ing the floating debt cf the district.

TO JHUINCi IX AUSKNXEKS.
Tho Davis House Will Caue the Arrest
of Absent Members.
A Salem dispatch dated March 1,
says: The temporary house today de
cided to adopt drastic measures to
bring in absentees. Members of the
original house present wore a.vorn in
by Chief Justice Moore, and a number
of assistant sergeants-at-arms were ap
pointed by temporary Speaker Davis
and dispatched to different parts of
the ttate with warrants to serve ou
absont members.
There is little doubt, however, that
the court will bo appealed to by iai-La-bers
of tho late Bttison house w ho
have been served with warrants.
Word was received here tonight '.hul
four represen.atives, Hope, C-jr-n,
Gurdane, and Jennings, had boa
arrested in Portland, and that tViej
would at onco try to throw the matter
into the courts on habeas corpus pro
ceedings. It is said also that Repre
sentative Smith, of Marion, is ji ;jared
to resist, and, when he is arrested to
morrow, will endeavor to stcur.; his
release on habeas corpus, and bolides,
will have tho lc-gality cf the who'-'1 p-o
ceediug and its collateral issu-.-s it sted.
The outlook, therefore, is tuut tho
entire matter of legislation must be
held in abeyance until the cdu.-dj de
termine whether it is or is not their
business to interfere in the legislative
muddle. The expectation is that, if a
test case be brought hero, it would bo
heard immediately in the circuit court,
and an appeal tak-.a to the supremo
court. There is no d-jubt Chief Justica
Moore would cause it to be advanced
on tho docket. If all expedition be
used by both sides to the controversy,
a final decision may ba reached within
two or three weeks. If either side
light for delay, a settlement may be
, deferred indeunicely.
INDIANS' TESIPEK.1NCE CONVENTION.
A row Wow on tho Itcservation Was
Held Friday.
Something new has happened on the
Umatilla Indian reservation, disprov
ing the oft repeated assertion that
there's nothing new under the sun.
It is nothing more or less than a. tem
perance convention, held for Indians
by Indians and with none present but
Indians.
The convention (p3v wow) was held
Friday,' so Jack Chapman, the well
known interpreter, today informed the
East Oregnian. The object of the
pow wow was to give the young men of
the thrae tribes some advice on the
subject of drinking liquor, which
habit has been fast sending the In
dians to destruction. Chapman re
marked a a he was tolling about the
meeting:
"We are getting into the-ways of
the white man, all right, for yesterday
we had a sure enough temperance
meeting on the reservation. Several
of us made speeches. There were
Chief Peo, of the Umatillas; Young
Chief of the Cayuaes; No Shirt, of the
Walla Wallas; Judge Cash Cash, who
used to be the head of tho court of In
dian offences before the court was done
away with, and I made a speech myself.-
We told the young men how it
was raining the men of the tribes to
drink so much whiskey, and warned
tbem that if they kept up their presen.
pace it would bo only a few years b-:
fore our race would be extinot, except
as they might bo left Indian blood in
the mixed bloods about these parts.
We gave it to them pretty straight on
the subject. ' The young men listened
with good attention and many of them
will take the advice.
"Do Jou know we have a temperance
society on the reserve, one organized
just as those of the whites are organ
ized, and I am one of the officers. We
are going to do all we can to stop the
drink habit among our people, and are
going to have some more temperance
meetings after awhile."
THE CARDINAL'S CLOSE CALL.
His Keen Sense of Jmell Once Saved " Him
from Being- Poisoned.
Years have rolled by since, but the
fitory of an almost fatal accident to
Cardinal Gibbons has lost none of its
interest through not having been pre
viously told,' says the Philadelphia
Call. Just before he rose to give the
impassioned reading of his poem,
"King Lear," at the anniversary din
ner of the Sons of St. George, Prof. H,
H. Hay, of Girard college, told of the
happening as it had been related to
him while he was traveling in Europe
by a -priest acquainted with the cir
cumstances. "While the cardinal, who was then
an archbishop," said Prof. Hay, "was
traveling across the Atlantic some
years ago he complained one afternoon
that he wasn't feeling very well, but
was told by the ship's surgeon to await
medical treatment until the following
day, when something would be done
for him if his sickness continued. On
the day following the steward of the
steamer was duly sent with a remedy
for the eminent prelate. As he was
about to place the glass containing
the draught to his lips the archbishop
was almost overcome by a strange and
pungent odor. He hesitated a moment
and lowered the vessel containing the
liquid until he- recovered from the ef
fect of the smell. Glancing incidental
ly at the bottle in the steward's hand
he noticed the word 'poison' on a label,
and, not without a little alarm, asked
the man if he knew what he was offer
ing. The steward replied that he had
done as was directed by the doctor.
Alarmed,.-the- archbishop sent post
haste to the medical man to make
sure of what was being tendered him.
This time it was the surgeon who had
occasion to manifest surprise. He hur
ried to his distinguished patient's side
and informed the archbishop that tho
glass offered him contained enough
deadly poison to kill any two men."
