crops were beginning to look bad
while the range was very short. "This
rain will undoubtedly bring everything
out in good shape for a while at least.

Joint resolution Joint resolution
for the rocognition of the independ
ence of the people of Cuba, demanding
that the government of Spain re
linquish its authority and government
in the island of Cuba, and to withdraw
its land and naval forces from Cuba
and Cuban waters, and directing the
president of the United States to use
the land and naval forces of the United
States to carry this resolution into
effect.
Whereas, The abhorrent conditions
which have existed for more than three
years in tbe island of Cuba, so near
our own borders, have shocked the
moral sense of tbe people of the United
States, have been a disgrace to civili
zation, culminating, as they have, ia
the destruction of a United States
oattle-ship and 266 of its officers and
crew, whiie on a frlendiy visit to the
harbor of Havana cannot longer be
endured, a has been sec forth by the
pres'dent of tne United States in his
message to congress, of April II. 1898,
upon which the action of congress was
invited: therefore, be it
Resolved, By the senate and house
of representatives of the United States
of America, in congress assembled:
First That the people of the island
of Cuba are, and of right ought to be
free and independent.
Second That it is the duty of the
United States to demand, and the gov
ernment of the United States does
hereby demand, that the government
of Spain at once relinquish his
authority and government in tbe
island of Cuba, and withdraw its land
and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban
waters.
Third That the president of the
United States De, and he is hereby
directed and empowered to use the en
tire land and naval forces of the
United States, and to Call Into the
actual service of the United States the
militia of the several atatas to such
extent as may be necessary to carry
these resolutions into effect.
Fourth That the United States
hereby disclaims any disposition to ex
ercisa sovereignty, jurisdiction or con
trol over said island, except for tbe
pacification thereof; and asserts its
determination, when that is accom
plished, to leave .the government and
control of the island to its people.
tlon of affairs. Among the recipients
of telegrams last eve was Old Dad
Butts, and the purpose of the telegram
was to inquire if be had enough real
estate on hand to make a cemetery
large enough to bury the Spaniards
that tbe Oregon militia will surely
slay. Butts baa answered that he has
enough ground in view to bury
1,000,000,000 Spaniards, but that his
clients have an option on most of it
which option can be bought at a nom
inal figure. If the government should
purchase Butts' real estate for a
cemetery the soul of the departed
Spaniard will have one of the most
beautiful resting places on the face of
God's green earth, as the property
Butt9 has In hand is only the best and
most beautiful in the city.
People who are contemplating build
ing homes or buying homes already
complete will do well to give Butts a
call before the final deal with the war
department Is consumated.

A DELIGHTFUL AFTKRNOOS.
Mill Janet Waldorf's Recital in Juliet Be
fore the Library Ladies.
It is not often that the ladies of The
Dalles, who are interested in literary
work, are afforded such pleasure as
was given them luesday afternoon
when they were invited to a Shakes-
perian reading by Miss Janet Waldorf
at tbe hotel parlors. By 3 o'clock fifty
or more ladies assembled and were in
troduced to their charming entertainer
and to Mrs. Ada Don Currier, who has
in charge Miss Waldorf's tour, and
who has the happiness of presenting
to theatre-goers one destined to
achieve marked success in the theatri
cal world. Miss Waldorf had selected
for the afternoon's entertainment tha
three principal scenes from the ever
famous play "Romeo and Juliet." In
a crowded room and with a chair for a
balcony, Miss Waldorf became instant
ly transformed into the-youthful
"Juliet" who shyly, hesitatingly, yet
fervently, speaks to Romeo, tbe boy
lover, and with every movement,
glance and with lips reveals her
heart s secret. In this scene Miss
Waldorf gave a perfect dramatic exhi
bition of tbe inception of pure, youth
ful love as a passion. In the next
sc.ni with Friar Lawrence was noted
the progress of love, the youug Juliet
becomes transformed into a woman on
being cruelly reproved by everyone
and counseled to marry Paris. On
the very verge of despair she listens
to the good Friar, is given hope,
heeds his advice and consents for
love's sake to risk death. But what
ever insight the artist gave of her power
in these scenes, the audience was not
prepared for her superb acting, her
complete transformation in tbe potion
scene where Juliet, seized with deadly
despair, horror of what might be the
result of her action in - swallowing the
potion, of unknown death, of what lay
beyond, is goaded to tbe very verge of
madness. Miss Waldorf was. truly
great in depicting these emotions. At
the close of this scene the audience
withdrew with many thanks to their
entertainer for a most enjoyable after-

Ed. Times-Mouhtaiseeb:
A supposed minister of tbe gospel
has "had a pain" (or several months
past, by virtue of his obvious incapa
bility to attain tbe dazzling pinnacle
of publicity to which he feels his ver
satile talents should warrant him in
soaring; and, failing in all other re
spects to gain the dizzy heights of his
coveted notoriety, he has sought to
vent his spleen upon a harmless, Inno
cent brother preacher, the pastor of
an estimable congregation in this city,
whom he vindictively dubs the "Camp-
bellites" an organization that exists
only in the vulgar imagination of this
would-be-infallible clergyman. I fear
I do myself a measurable injustice in
deigning to humor such an one by be
stowing upon him some trifling public
notice in these columns nevertheless
with me, it is anything to relieve a
sufferer, once and for always, of his
mental "pain."
Let him nut think for a moment,
however, that any religious body, or
any self-respecting minister, is crav
ing and yearning to do battle with
such a sectarian as he. Let him not
take unto himself the credit of com
placently reflezting himself in a con
vex mirror and going before the world
with a self deluded "holier-than-thou"
idea conveyed to his uncharitable
mind. Let him not consider that he
nor those over whom he assumes the
leadership, will sweep through the
pearly portals of the ambrosial para
dise of God, while everyone else will
descend to damnation with a speed
more furious than that with which Mil
ton describes Satan and his host fall
ing out of Heaven. For if he so thinks,
I give him warning right now, that on
the judgment day he will be a far
worse disappointed man than Bob
IngersolL
Now, I am positively certain that
Elder Boltz will gladly meet in debate
any respectable preacher of the Bap
tist faith on this coast, whenever it is
deemed necessary, touching upon the
relative differences in doctrinal points
unfortunately existing between the
two churches in question; but he nor
any one else would condescend to the
level of one who has nothing but
churlish invectives to hurl at a brother
in Christian work, and thus subject
himself to the humiliation of meeting
with nothing short of undeserved
abuse and calumny. I suggest to this
bellicose minister the propriety of ser
iously, prayerfully, considering the
ear-stained admonitions of Heaven's
King, as contained in tbe seventeenth
hapter of St. John, and hereafter
seek to assist in carrying out the vital
principles there enunciated.

ED. TtMES-MODNTAINEIB:
Mr. Stewart, the in his "re
spects" of the 20th lost, makes some
very convincing statements.
He convinces one in the superlative
degree that he Is thoroughly unac
quainted with the spirit of the Scrip
tures be sighted. However, we thank
him for advising us to read them, aud
can heartily say that we fully expect
to accept bis advice. Wo accept good
advice regardless of the source. We
are sorry that we cannot commend the
spirit of his article, but will cheerfully
forgive him. "Out of the abundance
of the heart, the mouth speaketh." I
will now state the facts in the matter
at issue, and leave tbe conclusions, to
the wise. During the meetings con
ducted by Elder B , at the Campbel
llte church, in this city, a question box
was opened, which said, "we want
questions to answer." I aceommo
dated the gentleman to a number of
questions which he could not legiti
mately answer without doing violence
to some of the doctrines he had been
preaching. Some of these questions
were entirely evaded, simply answered
by almanac faces,, laughter and ridi
cule. During bis attempt at answer
ing them, he held up a history from
which he selected and read twelve
words from a paragraph containing
forty-nine, closing . at a comma, thus
garbling the history so as to mane
tbe author say exactly tho opposite to
what he really does say. Tbis is why
I denominated him "The question
dodger." Prior to his attempt at an
swering the questions, he dealt very
freely in making challenges, and used
such language as this, "I've been
wanting to get hold of that gentleman
the past ten days (pastor of Baptist
church). I'd make him wish for some
body to come here right quick." Also
threw out a challenge for a four day's
debate.
Shortly after this he received propo
sitions from me, which propositions T
have never heard from any more. . He
made the challenge publicly, but
treated the propositions privately.
This is why I denominated him "The
question dodger up a tree.".
I have the history and a copy of the
questions (see above) in my possession
open for inspection to any, should their
pertinency be denied. His challenge
Is still accepted, and propositions will
be found in tbe Times-Mountaineer
issued tbe 19th inst.
W. S. Wilburn.
(P. S. What I have written, I have
written in self-defeuse as a challenged
party. Calvary Baptist church nor
any other organization being in any
way responsible. The facts are now
before the public, and I shall say no
more, unless called out. W. S. W )

Old "High Price" held sway in The
Dalles for a long time, but he has been
vanquished. His captor was the Great
Northern Furniture stoe, and it won
a great victory. Under old high price,
you paid $75 to $150 for a bed room
suit; now you get it at the Great North
ern for from $15 to $50.' and the reduc
tion on all other goods has been great.
Another beautiful feature of the Great
Northern's victory is that it supplies
the customer with anythlag wanted to
furnish the houe. There yon can get
anything needed for the parlor, bed
room, kitchen or pantry. It is a per
fect department store in its line,
where the widest range of stock nay
be found to select from.

Tbe following endorsement of the
Oregon Fire Relief Association ap
peared in the Oregonian on the 13th:
' The regular quarterly meeting of
the Oregon Fire Relief Association
was held in this city yesterday. The
quarterly report shows the association
to be in a most flourishing condition.
The report shows that its members
beve saved $9,597.04 during the pas t
three months, and more than $28,000
during the past year. The association
is backed by more than 6000 property
owners, which makes it the strongest
financial institution in the state.
Three and a half years ago some
citizens became convinced that; they
were paying much higher rates for
fire insurance than was necessary, and
they resolved to organize this associa
tion for tbe mutual protection of its
members against loss by fire, and the
result has been beyond the expecta
tions of the most sanguine. The asso
ciation has thus far promptly paid 29
losses, and has levied but two assess
ments, wbleh aggregated only 30 per
cent of a single year's insuranoe at
stock-cent pany rates. The association
is (till adding about 100 property
owners per week to its list of members
and is doing good work in furnishing
its members good protection at actual
cost.
