SATURDAY.. .FEBRUARY 26, 1898
'
ITEMS IN BRIEF.
(From Saturday's Dally.)
M. P. Isenbeiy-, the Hood River pol
itician, is In the city.
Hon. A. J. Dufur, of Dufur, is regis
tered at the Umatilla.
Deputy Sheriff dinger came up
from Hood River last night.
. . The river fell a foot since yesterday
morning, and is now a trifle over 15
feet abeve low water mark.
The rock crusher is being overhauled
and put in shape for a good ruo. The
broken rock will be used on Seventh
street.
. The editor of this paper went to
Portland this morning to attend a
meeting of newspaper men favoring
" free silver.
Miss Ina Cooper who has been visit
ing relatives here for some time, re
turned to her home in McMinnville
. this morning.
The republican county central coa
' saittee mat this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
This is about the "beginning of the
campaign. A sort of looking over the
field preparatory to plowing.
The grand jury adjourned Thursday;
the republican county central com
mittee met today. Being charitable,
we place this as a coincidence not as a
deliberately planned arrangement.
. County Commissioner Blowers came
up from Hood Kiver last night. He
- is interested in a merchandise business
at Sumpter Baker county and is highly
pleased with the business outlook
there.
If the government relief expedition
to the Klonkike does not get a move
on. it will be too late to tret rid of its
supplies. The secretary of war should
remember the old adage to "go early
and avoid the rush."
For the oast week a warm chinook
' has prevailed in the Blue Mountains,
- which is undoubtedly the cause of the
rapid rise in the Columbia. The snow
' fall on the headwaters of the Columbia
is unusually ligh t, and with a chinook
or two now the June rise will be light,
' The last term of court, or rather the
. oreseat one. was inexpeneive. The
. ,. grand jury returned five tru bills, and
to each a plea of-guilty was entered
Three were sent to the penitentiary,
; one to the county jail, and one the
sentence was suspended. There was
not a case for jury trial.
Mr. Farrell, who came up from Port
. land yesterday to look after his fishing
interests, expresses the opinion that
, the season will probably be a light
' one, even though this is the year for a
big run. He bases his opinion on the
reports of an unusually light snow fall
on the headwaters of the Columbia
and Snake. '
Politics is, or are, because politics is ,
or are, plural, beginning to boom
Candidates are cropping up, like the
gentle bunch grass, between rocks, on
. the hill sides, and in the pUasant
- -vales. They are, to carry out the sim-
ilie, young tender and green and liable
to be nipped by the early spring
frosts, or if not later on by the arid
wave that will sweep over the country
about the first Monday in June.
It is to be hoped that the old rock
crusher will be kept at work until
every street in the city is covered with
brcken rock. At present our streets
are not sightly aod our crosswalks are
an abomination. There is only one
" ' gleam of sunshine, ' one redeeming
. factor in the present conditions, and
that is that every Dalles woman wears,
per force, a prettily trimmed skirt and
. high-grade stockings. The condition
of the street crossing compel it.
The great question agitating the
American mind is, "Was the Maine
blown up, or down?" From the num
ber killed it is not probable the ex
- plosion came froas'outside of the vessel
but within. The dispatches show be-
tween lines, that some one has been
. guilty of gross carelessness and that
the real cause of the tragedy will not
be given out. until the excitement has
blown over. Then it will be doled out-
piece at a time, in order to let the
guilty person come down easy.
There seems to be no doubt but that
the steamer Clara Nevada was de-
' stroyed by fire between Juneau and
Skagroy with all on board. Among
the passengers was Jesse Wilkias, a
prominent mason who was at one time
the organizer for the Eastern Star.
E. T. Holgate is also supposed to have
been a passenger on the illfated vessel.
Mr. Holgate was from Portland but
had a number of relatives living in
this county. The Clara Nevada was
originally the Hassler and was built
' for the government in 1871. She was
engaged in surveying the Pacific Coast
until a short time ago when she was
condemned and sold, and was put on
the Alaska route by the McGuire.
exercises. The large ball was filled to
the very doors, and some 200 or 300
persons still could not gain admit
tance. "The Story of My Life" or "Sun
shine and Shadows of Seventy Years,"
is the tlt'e of a most valuable work by
Mrs. Mary Liverinore, one of the most
pleasing and instructive writers of the
age. Mrs. C M. Sisson has the agency
for this work in Wasco county.
Passengers who came down on No.
1 yesterday morning report a serious
wreck on the O. R. & N. near Huron,
the first station this side of the sum
mit of the Blue mountain a, Saturday
nijht. A freight train went off the
track and two men were killed.
The 5-year-old son of Frank Yar-
brough, who lives near Scio, in Linn
county, fell from a birn loft to the
floor beneath, the other day, a distance
of 16 feet. The little follow's breast
bone and several ribs were broken by
the full, but it is thought be will re
cover.
Bowling on the Umatilla House
alley was up to the standard last week.
The hi 'h scores were: Monday. J. P.
Benton 56; Tuesday, D. Wilder 60;
Wednesday, J. P. Benton 57; Thurs
day, F. Pundt 68; Friday, H. Meatz 52:
Saturday, "V. Lytle 61; Sunday, J. P.
Beaton 55.
The big damage suit of the Nase
Logging Company against the Shoal-
water Bay Mill Company .came to an
end Friday in the federal court in
Tacoma. The court, after hearing a
lengthy argument, allowed judgment
for costs only. The total amount of
the damages asked was 1153,000. .
A pitiable case of insanity was
brought to light' in St. Helen's last
Monday, when Mr. and Mrs. Walter
Brothers, of Rainier, cane to town
seeking protection from an imaginary
foe. They were immediately taken in
to custody and held uutil Tuesday
afternoon, when Judge Doan arrived
before ' whom their case was tried
Beth were committed to the asylum
where Constable Robinson and Dr,
Cliff took them Wednesday. Mr. and
Mrs. Brothers recently moved from
Clatskanie to escape their imaginary
persecutor, but the change made no
difference. They said that the ghost
of some unknown person enters their
housa every night and holds high ' car
nival.
A KTORf Of SHAME.
Hpaln's Cruel Methods of Exterminating
the Cubans.
No sadder story of modern times has
been related than that which Julian
Hawthorne tells concerning the con
ditions in Cuba.
Mr. Hawthorne went to India when
the famine aa doing its mof-t terrible
worn in that far-off land. He described
scenes of suffering there which touched
the heart of the world and caused a
movement throughout Christendom to
provide swift relief. Every Christian
land rushed cargoes of food to the
starving Hindoos, and soon the ravages
of starvation were ebecked.
"I have seen famine in its awfulest
form in India," writes Mr. Hawthorne
from Cuba, "but there it was not ac
companied by the brutality, willful
cruelty aod wanton insult that have
pursued its victims here. Had the
same proportion of the population
died in India that has -died here, net
less than one hundred millions would
have perished."
Can anything more terrible, be im
agined than is set forth In this one
DaraerraDh? To the pitiful agony of
hunger in Cuba the Spaniards have
added brutality, willful cruelty and
wanton insult. Fathers who dare at
tempt to protect their daughters arc
shot by soliers from Europe, who
throw over their murder the cloak of
the exigencies of war. Small boys are
shot down upon the highways as they
drag their weary, emaciated bodies
over the barren country in search of
food. Infirm old women, shriveled and
crying pitifully for bread, are huddled
into foul prisons under the concen
trated policy inaugurated by Wejler,
the butcber,and maintained by Blanco,
the assassin.

FOB BETTER ROADS.
A Feasible Plan Suggested by the Com.
merclal Club Committee.
The question of good roads leading
into tie country is one that is of vital
importance to every town, but is
probably of more importance to The
Dalles than . most other places, since
this place must depend almost solely
upon its traffic with the outside, hav
ing no manufacturing industries that
are large employer?, and in fact not
beiog a great creator of wealth.
. This is recognized by the Commer
cial Club, and its committee on com
merce has devised a plan that is prac
ticable and if carried into execution
will result in good roads leading in
every direction from The Dalles. It is
this: A fund is to be created by popu
lar subscription from the business men
of the city for road building and re
pairing. The committee has made a
cirefnl estimate of what should be
subscribed .by the different business
houses, aod has estimated that $000 a
month can be raised for three months
to be expended on roads., Tbe com
mittee has further made an estimate of
probable exoenditures that will put
every road leading into The Dalles in
good condition. This iucludes eight
laborers at $1.75 a day, one man and
team at $3.50 a day and one foreman at
$2.00 a day. This would be an ex
pense of $507 a month, which for three
months would, the committee believes,
put every road leading into Tbe Dalles
in first class repair.

A TALCABLK WORK.
Mnnshlae and Shadows of Seventy Tears by
Mary A. Llrermore.
This new and superbly illustrated
book is the crowning life work of the
famous Mary a. Livermore, and, as
she herself states, it is the last that
ever will come from her pen. It is a
narrative of her life from infancy to
old age, portraying tbe sunshine and
shadow of seventy years of the most
marvelous career, told in ber own
words.
It seems almost incredible that a
woman now so famous made "mud
pies" in her childhood, was often sent
supperless to bed, and was frequently
bounce-1 down into a kitcbeu cbair
with an emphasis that caused her to
"see stars." When a youtg girl,
gtruggling to support herself, she took
in '"slop-work," made shirts, and sub
sequently learned the trade of a dress
maker at which she worked for twenty
five cents a day. At eighteen she "ran
away from home like "a boy," and
spent three eventful years on a
Southern plantation years full of
comedy and tragedy, and packed with
thrilling experiences.
Mrs. Livermore threw her whole
heart and soul into measures for the
relief of sick and wounded soldiers,
and spent four years as a nurse in tbe
Union army. Her intellectual great
ness and nobility of character led ber
to rise from those thrilling experiences
to become tbe beat known woman of
America, and opened tbe way to ber
phenomenal platform career, tbat has
continued for more than thirty years.
At her feet millions of people have sat
and listened in admiration and wonder.
The rich and poor, the high and low,
the learned and unlearned have been
alike thrilled aifd moved by her burn
ing words. She has swayed brilliant
audiences of fashion: has spoken in
stati prisons, jails, and penitentiaries;
to audiences composed of outcast?,
and to audiences numbering thousands
of children. In this autobiography
she gives many reminiscences of her
platform experience?, with anecdotes
and incidents "too funny for anything.'
The book i9 splendidly illustrated by
beautiful and costly full-page photo
gravure plates and portraits, aud over
one hundred fine text illustrations.
Many of them are intensely humorous,
while others deoict thrilling scenes
full of pathos and tragic interest.
Mrs. C. M. Sisson has the sole
agency for the book in Wasco county.
ANNIVERSARY OF KNIGHTHOOD.
Thirty-fifth Anniversary of the Order
Celebrated by Friendship Lodge.
February 19th was the 35th anni
versary of the order of Knights of
Pythias, and the occasion was appro
priately observed by Dalles Knights.
Castle Hall was comfortably filled with
tbe guests of tbe lodge and when Chan
cellor Commander Huntington rapped
for order at 8:30 every seat in the spac
ious lodge room was occupied.
Tha exercises began with a piano
solo by Mrs. Varney, followed by an
invocation offered by Rev. L Gray
pastor of the Lutheran Church. This
was followed by a vocal solo, "It Was
Thus to Be," rendered by Miss Myrtle
Michell, in her usual pleasant manner.
Next Master Clyde Gilbert recited
tbat touching verse "A Brother's
Hand." Then Chancellor Commander
Huntingtop, in a few well-cho9en re
marks introduced Hon. Wm. Cake, of
Portland, who delivered one of the
most pleasing and scholarly addresses
ever listened to la Tbe Dalles. Mr.
Cake's theme was friendship and he
bandied the subject exceedingly well.
Prof. Lundell sang "The Bugler"
exceptionally well, and respond
ing to a hearty encore, rendered
a pleasing solo that was hap
pily received. This concluded the
program, ana botn balls were con
verted into dancing rooms, and until
after 12 o'clock the guests and mem
bers engaged in dancing, which ter
minated a most enjoyable meeting.
lated the report that the Mutual Pro
tective Insurance Association of Port
land, Ore'n. did not pay in full tbe
amount of insurance on my dwelling,
which was destroyed by fire in Septem
ber last, and which was insured in that
Association for $3(K), I hereby state
that such report is absolutely untrue.
That said Association not only paid
the full amount of their policy on said
dwelling, but they paid $150 thereof
before tbe same was due, according to
the terms of their policy, in order to
accommodate me, and I would further
state that I am en t'rely satisfied with
the treatment I have received from
that Association, and cheerfully rec
ommend them for the manner in which
they adjusted and settled my loss.

Tha Sphere of Woman.
. All honor to those . women . who,
having neither fixed home nor the
sacred duties attached thereto, have
resolutely undertaken to right the
wrong of her sex, the name of which
is Legion. But let her not, because
of the bravery and strength of will
she has thus exhibited, look with
scorn or speak with contempt of such
of her sisters who.'having yielded to
the heaven implanted desire for borne
and husband and children, . wisely
choose to devote their time and talents
to tbem. More noble is her part and
mere worthy she who faithfully per
forms this, her share of the world's
work, than those women who having
husband and children, desert them,
the former to seek consolation at his
club, tbe latter to the care of loo r-
suffering maiden relative, or - the
tender mercies of hirelings, while
they wandered over the country mak
ing speeches on woman's . -rights.
Women's rights have been much
trampled, one must admit, but let . the
zealous - champion of those debts
beware of trampling on the . sacred
name of wife and mother, and of turn
ing a revolting public siotiment
against ber and the great woi-k she has
undertaken. National Intelligencer.

B.O.CL SHULTS, of Wlnterset, Iowa,
Inventor and manufacturer of

writes of Dr. Miles' Heart Cnre. Two years
ago an attack of LaOrlppe left me with a
weak heart. I had ran down In flesh to
mere akin and bone. I could not sleep lying
down for smothering spells; frequent sharp
darting pains and palpitation caused a con
stant fear of sadden' death, nothing could
tndnce ma to remain away from home over
night. Hy local physician prescribed Dr.
viler Heart cure and in a lew days I was
able to sleep well and the pains gradually
lessened, and finally ceased. I reduced the
the doses, having gained fifteen pounds, and
am now feenng better in every way than I
have for years."
