NEWS OF TODAY "TODAY."
If V'oa Want It Fresh Concise Take
the Times-Mountaineer.
Encouraged by increased patronage
which has been accorded the Daily
Times-Mountaineer since we have be-
gun taking an afternojn telegraph re
port, we have found it possible to still
further increase the service, and from
day to day will add more dispatches
in proportion to the patronage receiv
ed. If 200 mora subscribers can be
added to the daily list, we will con
tinue the telegraphic service indeS
nitely, and will giye the news of tocay
"today."
With our present service we are
able to give the news to readers in
The Dalles from 12 to 24 hours in ad
vance of the Oregonian and from 6 to
12 hours in advance of the Telegram
If the readers of The Dalles want
the news of the world, in condensed
form (not a "full" report) at their
doors every day, let them give 9uch
patronage as will justify it. This is
an enterprise in which everybody is
interested, for readers in Tne Dalles
cannot afford to bo behind the times.
AFFAIRS AT THE AGENCY.
A. Correspondent from Warm Spring
Agency Writes under Date of May
10, as Follows.
Weather continues very dry and the
range is failing. The Indians have a
larg acreage of wheat sown, but the
harvest will be light, unless there are
rains soon.
Kishwaab, the sheep king at the
agency, and the largest Indian sheep
raiser in America, has not yet com
menced shearing his flocks. He is at
present hauling lumber for a large
new barn he will build this summer.
The Indians expect to 811 a large
number of horses this season, and if
they do, will turn their attention to
cattle raising.
The government boarding school at
the agency is running smoothly with
an attendance of about 100 pupils.
m The Tide of Prosperity.
The little village of Tygh Valley
has begun to put on the complexion of
of spring improvements, among the
most substantial of which is a new
store building put up for the purpose
of groceries or general merchandise
business, and in connection therewith
the handling on commission of Tygh
Valley flour, whish is now being
ground out by a first class, full roller
process. Tygh Valley, as is well
known, i3 the supply place for one of
the richest sections in these parts, and
the merchants who are now there have
made a fortune in their line. Tnis
will undoubtedly bean inducement for
some wide-awake business man, as the
building is for rent, and when taken
advantaga of, will surely result in a
brilliant business auccess.
It is also rumored that the old Tom
Denton place on Mill creek, which is
one of the finest farms in this county,
is now on the market at an astonish
ing low figure. This place comprises
107 acres, all being in what is popu
larly called the "creek bottom" and all
in cultivation, consisting of 10 acres
in orchard, 7 acres in grapes, 3 acres
in berries, with good house and barn
on the place. It is located 41 miles
from the postofflce of this city, and
Mill creek valley is conced -d to be the
prettiest place in Oregon. People
never know the advantages of oppor
tunities until it is too late, and it has
been well said that "Opportunity
knocks on every man's door but once,"
and we hope that some one may look
up either one of these two propositions,
as th is is no josh, but merely a few
more of those bargains handled by
Lad Butts. See him.
There la Nothing; Neater,
Every housewife desires something
neat, ornamental and useful, and there
is nothing that fills these three re
quirements more nearly than those
white enamel iron bedsteads offered
by the Great Northern Furniture
store for $4 and upward. Tbey are the
rage now everywhere as they are so
neat and pretty. Besides these leaders
the Great Northern is offering some
extra bargains in steel ranges that
must be seen to be appreciated; also
a number of handsome bed room sets
that are especially attractive, and
being bought at a bargain, will be
sold at prices that will astonish the
purchasers. The Great Northern is
the leader in low prices, as is attested
by alt customers. If you want any
thing in the line of house furnishing
goods, remember the Great Northern
can fit you out and save you money.
Kelie of the Maine.
The Baltimore Lodge of the Benevo
lent and Protective Order of Eiks has
secured possession of a large piece of
timber torn from the side of the battle
ship Maine, which was blown up in
Havana harbor. The timber is a
heavy pine piank, about two and a
half feet long, and evidently a piece of
the side work of the vessel, near a
companion way. The chief engineer
of the fteamer Redurtb, which lay in
tbe harbor, loading coal at the time of
the explosion, obtained several relics
of the ill-fated ship, this being the
largest of tbe lot. He gave it to
Captain Thomas Kernan, who has
charge of the loading of vessels con
signed to Joseph R. Ford & Co., at
Sparrows Point. The Captain is an
ardent member of the Baltimore lodge,
and presented tbe relic, to be kept
among tbe treasures of the organiza
tion. Pacific Elk.
Aa Alarm of Fre.
At 2:45 p. m. an alarm of fire was
turned in, and the department respond
ed promptly. A small blaze on the
roof of the steam laundry just started
in the old city mill building being the
cause. A stove pipe had been run
through the roof from the oven used
to beat the irons, and becomrng hot,
ignited the shingles. No 6erious dam
age was done and the fire was put out
before the department reached the
scene.
SHOULD BE SETAIKED.
of
Merit In Office That Is Worthy of Bewswl
by Ke-Electlon.
Ed. Timis-Mocntainxbr:
(n the coming election, partisan
feeling may not become so animated
as has been anticipated; nevertheless,
and interesting political conflict will
in all probability be waged. The rela
tive values of silver and gold will
portrayed, corporations and syndicates
will come in for a generou amount of
uncomfortable airing; bonds and
bondholders may perchance be com
pelled to run the gauntlet of a vindic
tive tongue-lashing; ridicule, con
tumely and odium of all sorts may
full wiih more or less frequency into
the camp of the apostles of silver, and
personalities of one kind and another
may creep in by way of variation.
These things, however, are far from
constituting all the composite con
iiiiuiis entering into tne contend-
Ing tux!'. And, without indulging
in ileuii.o a to ninny of them, I will
saf tiiui' .i paramount factor in the
campuiu ii f xu absolutel? non-par
tisan character. Detjur.ciaiion, abuse
and personal bitterness cau have uo
possible claim thereto. The high of
fice of judge of the circuit court, to
which I refer, knows no caste, color,
section or clique, and he who dons the
untarnished ermine of judicial author
ity must of necessity be one "whom
the spoils of office cannot buy." Such
we need in our district. 6uch we ought
to have, and if the people vote with
that sense of appreciation of the
scholarship, ability, justice and
painstaking exertions put forth in
their behalf on the part of the
present incumbent, such we will
have. His record is befere us all.
He has been tried and found faithful
to the great trust imposed upon him,
He has dealt out justice fairly and
firmly, lie has manifested a profound
know led--e of the law, even in the
most intricate complications. His
capability of judging of the merits of
compiii-ated legal technicalities is in
deed admirable. He has saved to the
district a vast amount of money, in the
way of taxes, etc. He has a character
that is unblemished, and a record, as
we have seen, that is unchallenged,
Such a man, bringing to bear upon the
office so many years wide experience,
should be retained, and eot let go.
Such a man, regardless of his political
faith, should be allowed to remain
upon the bench for another term; and
such a man should be rewarded for
past valuable services by being cowned
with the laurels cf a telling victory by
the people's ballet at the poles next
June.
A DELIBERATE SUICIDE.
One of the Regulator Passengers Jumped
Overboard and Was Drowned.
About noon Wednesday, when the
Regulator was passing Warrendale on
its trip up from Portland, one of the
passengers walked to the rear of the
boat, laid his hat on the deck, climbed
over the railing and d?wn. tbe ladder
to the water's edge and plunged into
the river. Tbe assistant engineer
w&s oiling the journals of the wheel at
the time, but was unable to prevent
the suicide's rash act, iot knowing bis
intent until it was too late.
'After striking the water the man
swam for some distance, but sank
about 50 yards from the Oregon shore.
The man was a stranger, no one on
board knowing him, and he had
been non-conversant with the passen
gers. After the purser had taken up
his ticket, which was from Portland to
The Dalles, he had lain down in the
front cabin, where he remained until
about noon. Just before he jumped
overboatd he was noticed to walk
through the dining room and ladies
cabin, then out the door. Some of the
passengers noticed that he had rather
a wild expression, indicating insanity,
though no intimation was given of his
suicidal intent.
The man was apparently 40 or 45
years of age, was 5 feet 7 or 8 inches in
height, bad gray eyes, dark hair,
streaked with gray, ware a mustache,
and two or three weeks growth of
beard on his face. He wore a dark
euit and dark shirt, and had the ap
pearance of being a laborer. The
boat crew was unable to recover the
body, it having sunk in quite deep
water before he could be reached
by the men who tnd started out in
a small boat to his rescue.
THE CAMPAIGN OPENS.
Boa. J. H. Davis Addresses an Enthusias
tic Audience at the Baldwin.
The union campaign in The Dalles
was opened last night, Hon. J. H.
Davis (Cyclone) was the speaker of the
evening, and a fair sized audience
assembled to lis-en to the noted orator
from the Lone Star state. He was in
troduced Dy Hon. J. L. Story, nominee
for attorney-general, and was received
with a round of applauses.
Mr. Davis at once entered into a
discussion of the money question, and
made numerous good points in ex
plaining tbe effect a scarcity of money
has upon trade and business. That
there was not sufficient money in this
country to conduct the business, Mr.
Davis proved beyond a doubt, and sug
gested as a remedy that the mints of
the nation be thrown open to the un
limited coinage of both silver and
gold. He offered a forcible argument
in auswerto the charge that it would
be repudiation to pay the public debt
in anything but gold, dwelling upon
the fact that the contract (the bond)
called for coin, and that the creditor
had no right to demand what metal
should constitute the coin in which he
should be paid. Mr. Davis' speech
was intereperced with sufficient life to
keep his hearers in good humor, and
was one that will have a telling effect
in tbe campaign.

War Indemnities.
Turkey owes Russia $160,000,000 as
a war indemnity and is expected to
take a hundred years to pay it in.
Bismarck exacted an indemnity of $1,
000,000,000 from France, supposing
that France could not pay it, and bas
never forgiven himself for making a
demand within France's power of com
pliance. This was far more than
the whole cost of the war. As a more
recent instance, Greece is under bonds
to pay an indemnity to Turkey,
Spain's turn wilcome next.
