day all buyers are rjavinsr 75 cents, and
' the demand is firm.
There was a considerable flurry in
the wheat market inChicago yester-
' day'.' The price advanced from 91 to
94i. The advance was not the result
of foreign advices, but was rather
owing to speculation.
Cattle buyers are scouring the coun

This morning an Indian freighter
passed in front of the Times-Moun-'

soft as down. It took a dozen artisans
and jewelers four months to complete
tlw chair.

and genuine boom times are exper
ienced. Last Saturday Sheriff Driver and
Marshal Lauer made atrip down the
riyer in search of the parties who
robbed the Regulator, and made some
important discoveries, but could not
overtake the thieves. They found the
boat that had been stolen, together
with some of the stolen clothing. The
thieves had tied the boat in a secluded
spot on the Washington side of the
river and deserted it pursuing their

the start of the officers that it was use

that they do not occur more frequently.

Last summer Ilev. C. II. Maxson
visited The Dalles, and while hure was
the guest of Rev. O. D. Taylor. He
formed a strong attachment for Mr.
Taylor, and when his trial was in pro
gress in Saginaw recently, Mr. Maxson

spiracy, says the Saginaw Evening

fined to his home by illness, and ex
cusing himself for a moment, walked

Mr. Dobel was a prominent Odd Fel
low and was a highly respected citi
zen. Ill health is supposed to be the
cause of his rash act.
On account of the lack of storage in
Portland all the warehouses are piled

As a resulo shipments frcm the upper
country will be light until more ships
come in.
There are nine inmates of the Wasco
county. jail at presort, all awaiting the
action of the grand jury which will be
called on the second Mondry of next

court promises to be an active one in
criminal lines at least. In all proba
bility Wasco county will be able 6
send several new representatives to
Salem after the term closes.
At Prineville the other day Del
Shields played rather a shabby trick on
his bondsmen and the sheriff. He was
bound over on a charge of arson, hav
ing burned the city jail at Mitchell,
and was indicted. After his case had
been reported by the grand jury he
mounted his horse and rode out of
town, leaving his bondsmen to foot the
bill. At last accounts the sheriff had
been unable to locate him.

Collection Day Changed.
The following petition has been cir
culated in The Dalles and signed by
the business houses of the city whose
names are hereto attached, changing
the day for monthly collections from
the second to the third day of each
month:
; "Realizing that the day set apart
for general collections (the second day
of each month) does not allow many of
our merchants sufficient time for the
proper settlement of their books and
checking up of accounts, also that the
second of the month in many instances
falls on Saturday or Sunday, thereby
necessitating the postponement of col
lections till the following day, we here
by agree that we will hereafter collect
on the third of each month, and when
the third of the month shall fall on
Sunday or a holiday we will collect the
following day."

Escaped the Flames.
About 8 o'clock last Saturday even
ing Arthur Clarke had a narrow es
cape from being . burned to death.
When putting out a large Rochester
lamp that hung in his jewelry shop,
the wire with whioh the lamp was
hung gave way, letting the lamp fall
into the show case, and causing the
flames to burst out reaching the ceil
ing. Mr. Clarke gathered hold of the
lamp to throw it out, and just as he
reached the door the thing exploded,
scattering burning, oil all over the
room and enveloping Mr. Clarke in
flames. He succeeded in getting the
lamp outside the building then turned
his attention to himself. He was on
fire from head to foot, when Vic Mar-
den em-apped him in his overcoat and
smothered out the blaze. Mr. Clarke
was somewhat burned about the hands
and fac, and his left ear was badly
singed, though his injuries are only
temporary, and the jewelry shop is
pretty badly scorched, but the damage
is only slight.
Are the Farmer Asleep.
For the past week merchants in The
Dalles have been forced to import eggs
from the east and chickens from Port
land to supply the local market, paying
25 cents a dozen for eggs and $3 a
c?ozen for chickens. This does not
speak any too well for Wasco county
farmers. Evidently they have this
year devoted most of their attention to
wheat raising and too little attention
to the more profitable business of
chicken raising. Wasco county farm
ers are a progressive, enterprising lot
of men and evidently they will not al
low this condition to occur again soon.
They will look atVer the hens in the
future, and see to it that The Dalles is
supplied with home products in this
line. They will not allow money sent
out of the country for anything that
can be produced profitably here.

The funeral of the late Nicholas
Byrne Sinnott was conducted from the
Catholic church at 2 o'clock Sunday
afternoon, after the requimn for the
dead had been sung at the family resi
dence. The church ediGco was too
small to accommodate only a fraction
of those who had assembled to pay
their last respects to their departed
friend. - After the casket had baen

read the ritualestic Catholic service,
then delivered a brief though impres
sive address, referring to the deceased
as one who had fulfilled every com
mandment pnd was entitled to a crown
of glory in the beyond.
The funeral procession then took up
its march to the Catholic cemetery, led
by The Dalles concert band playing a
solemn funeral dirge, and was one of
the largest like processions ever as
sembled in The Dalles.
At the grave Father Hogan read tho
burial service of the Catholic church
which was responded to by the con
gregation kneeling. When tho grave

with floral offerings. Thin was laid in
his last abole one for whom hundreds
of hearts wept, and thus closed an
eventful and useful life.
Nicholas Byrne Sinnott was born in
Aughford, county Wixford, Ireland,
and at the age of 19 or 20 came to
America, adopting this as his country
and his home, becoming a citizen
whose lovaltv and love of country was
never questioued. On June 17, 186-3
in San Francisco, he w.n married to
Miss Brido Mary Brass, who was aUo
of Irish birth, but who camo to Amer
ica when two years of age.
The history of this grand old man is
too well kuown to the readers of the
Times-Mountaineer to require repeti
tion. It was a life replete with good
deeds and kind acts, one that might
well be folio wed by all who desire to be
honored bv men and receive a reward
hereafter.
DALLES LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.
An Organization That Merits the Support
of all.
A mee.ing was held at the residence
of Mrs. Wm. Michell Friday evening at
whioh the organization of The Dalles
Library Association was perfected', by
the adoption of a constitution and the
election of the following officers: Mrs,
A. R. Thompson, president; Mrs. F. A.
Houghton, secretary; Mrs. Chas, Hil
ton, tresurer. The president ap
pointed as finance committee Mrs. Dr.
Sbackleford, Mrs. W, H. Hobson and
Miss M. U. Michell, and the associa
tion elected a purchasing committee
consisting of Mrs. F. E. Bronson, Miss
A. M. Lang, Mrs. A. S. Mae Allister,
Mrs. F. A. Houghton and Mrs. W. H.
Mansfield. By the provisions of the
constitution the presideni, secretary
and treasurer constitute an executive
committee to exercise general supervi
sion over the library.
'- Messrs. Blakeley & Houghton kindly
offered room for the library in their
drug store, where it will be quartered
until such a time that it shall have
grown to such proportions as will re
quire more comodious rooms, and will
be opened on Wednefdays from 9 A. M.
until 12 M, and on Saturdays from 7 to
9 P. M. It is provided that any one
paying 25 cents a month will bo per
mitted the use of the library without
the payment of any membership fee.
This is indeed a commendable move,
and should receive the hearty support
of every citizen who feels an interest
in encouraging literary pursuits and
substantial reading. The association
begins without any endowment, and
devoid of funds except those donated
by its originators, hence to become a
permanency must receive donations
from outsiders. It is suggested that
if every one in the city who has a li
brary would donate one book, the free
library would grow to an extent that
would place it upon a firm basis, and
give it a start that would make a fail
ure an impossibility.
Everybody Says So.

JUMPED TO HIS DEATH-
John W. Backna Suicides in Portlaed by
Jamping From a Window.
On Friday afternoon John W.
Backus, a resident of East Portland,
jumped from the sixth story of the
Worcester building, falling on the
stone pavement .and being instantly
killed, fie had visited the building
several times during the forenoon, and
on his last visit, at 12:25, he was taken
up the elevator to the fifth floor, when
he ascended the stairs to the sixth,
walked out to the court, and jumped
over the railing to his death. Finan
cial troubles were the cause of the de
spondency which lead to the tragedy,
The coroner found among other letters
in the pocket of the deceased one ad
dressed to his wife which confirms the
theory that he suicided. It was a long
communication and referred princi
pally to personal affairs, particularly
his life insurance. It was first dated
October 10, and a post scriptum was
added, dated October 22. This indi
cates that for some time Backus had
been concemDlating suicide. The let
ter, which was written in German
concludes with the words, "Good bye.
loving wife, for the last time."
Iu the Wrong Pew.
It is an old sayiing that the "way of
the peacemaker is hard,." and that say
ing was forcibly demonstrated in one
of The Dalles drinking houses Friday
night. The deckhands of the steamers
Regulator and lone met for the pur
pose of settling some dispute as to
their respective merits in the pugilistlo
line, and were settling it, not exactly
in accordance with Queensbury rules,
but were getting along to their own
entire satisfaction, when some out
siders undertook to quiet the desturb-
ance. Tne ngnc was at once declared
off until the peacemakers were attend
ed to. They were summarily bounced.
with badly battered heads and faces,
firmly determining to never again un
dertake to stop a row between 'long
shoremen. They soon learned it was
none of their fight, and rued the time
they took a hand in the melee. When
the coast was finally cleared of intrud
ers hostilities were again resumed and
continued until the dispute was wiped
out with gore.
The Secret Oat.
Friends of Judge Bradshaw and
Earnest Jacobsen have noticed of late
there has been a sort of coolness ex- i
isting between them, and bare won-
dered what was the cause. Both gen
tlemen were in Prineville last, week
and the Journal published in that cily
discovered tho secret, which will bo
read with interest bv their many
friends here. The Journal say?:
O Professor Jacobsen, or as ha is better
kuown at liomeiu The Dalies," Jakey,"
tho well known oiaco and organ man.
arrived here about the same time as
Jude Bradshaw. But they didn't
come together, and they don't board
at the same hotel, for the judge has
given Jakey tho cold shoulder, and we
give the judge's reason iu his own
words: "While attending court lately
at Condon 'Jakey' invited me on Sun
day to havo dinner with him at a
friend's house, where I found charm
ing niuetjen-year old attraction of the
feminine render, 'lhe dinner was all
right, but just as soon as the table was
cleared the "attraction" left ttc room.
Jakey followed, then the young folks
left, and lastly the old man and old
woman cleared out and left me alone.
I sat in no envious frame of mind for
about half an hour, an 1 finally made a
run for tho kitchen, where I found
Jakey comfortably seated in an arm
chair, and the whole family chucking
him under tho chin, to the music of
such endearing epithets as 'Nice little
Jakey,' 'Dear little Jakey,' 'Funny
little Jakey.' Is it any wonder I got
mid and vowed I never would have
anything to do with him any more?"
Good Proposition for Lighting Streets.
For sor.ie time pasta committee con
sisting of Councilmen Johnston, Kuck
and Sti-phens has had under consider
rtion the proposition for lightinp- the
streets of The Dalles, and have at last
received a bid from Parrott & Co.
for lighting the streets with gas at a
figure that is reasonable. The propo
sition is to furnish 10 lights for offices
and fire houses in consideration of
tho franchise for laying pines
through the streets and to supply
fifty street lights for fiye years at
$1,000 a year. This would give
one light on each of the 30 blocks
below the bluff and allow 20 to be
stationed at vaaious points on the hill.
The cost with this system would be
about one-half the cost of lighting the
oity with arc lights, and is by far the
best proposition that has been sub
mitted. The matter will be considered
at the regular meeting of the council
on Nov. 3d.
FUN ON THE OLD CLIPPERS.
Not to Be Bad on Modern Record
Breaking; Liners.
"One of the youngsters asked me the
other day," said the old skipper, re
ports the New York Times, "if I had
ever been to Europe on a record-breaking
liner. I tcld him I hadn't, and never
wanted to go there that way. It is just
a question of engineers and stokers,
mere landsmen, on a big liner, and I'd
rather ship before the mast, even on one
of your lubberly 40-day steel square
riggers with, bows like a canal boat,
than go on a steamship. It would be
just about as interesting to me as a trip
on a railroad train.
"The kind of sailing I like it will never
be the privilege of you young fellows
to indulge in. You will never know the
fun. of having clipper craft assharp
as a steamboat under your feet jumping
across the sea under a press of canvas
never seen on ocean-going- sailing ves
sels nowadays, with her rigging as taut
as iron bars, and your shipmates hold-.
ing your hair on your head.
" 'What she can t carry she may
lug, was the text at sea then. I remem
ber when. I was in the clipper North
ern Light we carried stu'n'sails slap
into Boston harbor, making the famous
passage of 7G days and 4 hours from San
Francisco. Our ship worked like a bas
ket; but we had shipped a double crew
for tihe run, and one crew did nothing
but pump ship. There was some crack
ing on of sail when ships of 2,000 tons or
niore had all their top hamper whisked
ever on the lee side while the skipper
was turning to spit over the taffrail.
Even after that some of the ships made
good passages. It's a funeral nowadays
to lose a topgallant mast. V vs'i
FIDDLIN' JOHN'S VENGEANCE.
now He Made Way with the "Blooey
Sixteen" Band.
"Fiddlin' Jolin" Turner was born in
Yellow Creek Valley 83 years ago. His
father lived to be 103 years old, and
he killed three men. He came from
Virginia and settled in the mountains
of Kentucky on the farm on which
"Fiddlin John" now lives, says the Chi
cago Record.
"Fiddlin John," at the age of 83
years, is hale and hearty, and there
never was a better fighter, as his his
tory shows. He was a scout under Gen.
Morgan during !his occupancy of Cum
berland Gap and his famous retreat to
the Ohio river. One thing about "Fid
dlin John" which makes bim so dear
ly loved by the mountaineers is that
there never was a better liddier in all
the mountains. "Fiddlin John" is
noted throughout the mountains be
cause he ended the lives of 16 of the
worst mountain desperadoes that ever
trod Kentucky soil.
The "bloody sixteen," as this band
of desperadoes was called, killed "Fid
dlin John's" brother, Sam, cut his ears
off, and nailed him to a tree, and "Fid
dlin John" in turn exterminated the
entire band by "bushwhacking" them
one after another.
He never received a scratoh, in all
his fighting, and he is very proud of the
fact, tellins- everyone who asks him
about hisi feud:
"I jest got close up to 'em, and then

One Way Oat of Trouble.
A few days ago Geo. Sizemore, dep
uty sheriff of Harney county, arrived
here with a warrant for the arrest of
J. C. Hearth and another party, wanted
at Burns to answer to a charge of
horse stealing. He readily .located
Hearth and placed him under arrest,
but the other party could not be found,
so Mr. - Sizemore contented himself
with the hope of being able to take
Hearth back with him, but in this he
was foiled. Some time ago Hearth
was bound over to answer before the
grand jury on a charge of assault with
a dangerous weapon and was out on

from Harnev county he delivered him- I
self to the sheriff here, relinquish his
Sheriff Driver to do except to take the
prisoner in custody, and refuse to de
liver him to Mr. Sizemore. Hearth's
scheme is a cleyer one, as it will re
lieve him of a trip to Harney county
for the present at least.

? It used to be the favorite amusement
! of college boys to lead horses or cows
I vp to the second story of buildings in)
order that the college authorities might
: have the satisfaction, of taking the an-
1 imate down apain by means of derricks.
It is very seldom that one of the poor
creatures ventures to make the ascent
itself, but such instances occasionally
happen. One IS reported from Miry
Brook, Conn., where a farmer missed
one of his cows, and as his family had
gone to call on a neighbor, he locked up
the house and went out to hunt for the
missing animal. lie tramped into dusk
and searched every place he thought it
possible that the cow might have
strayed to, but without success. When
he reached home his attention was at
tractedbyapeculiar noise in the house,
and hurried inside, and there was the
cow in a room on the second floor. The
animal had climbed the stairs after
wandering in the open door. It took
the farmer three hours to get the cow
downstairs again. Troy Times. ... ; .

r-Among the numberless stories of the
quick wit and felicitouft sayings of Dr.
Oliver Wendell Holmes is one connected
with the breakfast given in his honor
by . the publishing firm of Houghtop,
Osgood & Co. on the occasion of hi3
seventieth birthday, says the Youth's
Companion. Not long after the break
fast he met a friend who had been a
guest on that memorable occasion, and
had written one of the many bright
poems which formed part of the en
tertainment. In referring to the late
festivity, the doctor said to his friend:
"I knew there would be a good many
things said that would be calculated
to draw tears. I was resolved that I
would not cry that nothing should
make me cry; and so I went to the
breakfast determined to maintain a
