of Vanrouver Caught la 1 his City.
A telegram was received at 9:30 last
night from the sheriff of Clarke
county. Wash., by the authorities of
this city, stating one J. D. Nugent
was wanted at Vancouver for incest.
Mat shal Lauer and Niehtwatchman
Wiley started out immediately to lo
cate the man. They hunted diligently
for him until midnight, but were un
able to. locate him. This morning
Marshal Lauer, in rompany with a
man who was acquained with Nugent,
found him at the D. P. & A. N. Co.'s
dock shortly before the boat left. The
iiiai shal accosted him, bit he denied
being the man, and said the marshal
was mistaken. However, Mr. Lauer
was not to be bilked in this manner,
a ,id took Nugent to the city jail,
tit--:-,-K- was searched, but nothing
: In.,, wi.-uid idftitify him was found. A

this evening and take the prisoner ht
low in. the morning. Nugent is about
forty-five years of age, well dressed
and of pleasing appearances.
No more degrading crime, or one
showing such a coarse rature. could
be committed than this. If the charge
is found to be true, the full" txtent.of
the law should bo imnosed, for a man
so debased as to commit such a crime
is not a fit person to mingle with so
ciety.

' In the circuit court of the state of
Oregon, county of Wasco, May term,
1898;
We, the grand jury, for the above
named court and term, herewith sub
mit the following report:
We have been in session two days,
and have returned into court one true
and three not true bills of indictment,
and have examined into several other
matters that we have not deemed of
sufficient importance to report.
We have examined the county clerk's,
sheriff's and treasurer's offices, and
find all of said offices, with the book?,
records and papers therein well and
correctly kept so far as we are abla to
judge.
We have also examined the county
jail and find the same in good condi
tion. We have inquired into the condition
of the county poor, and find that they
are well cared for under the direction
of the county court at the county
farm.
Wherefore, having finished our
labors for this term of court, we re
spectfully ask that we may be dis
charged from further attendance upon
the court. G. W. Miller,

Came Rome After Many Y-ars.
When J. P. Mclnerny opeued his
box at the postoffice today he found
therein a rather, mysterious package,
and on opening it found tba& it con
tained a nice American flag, inside of
which wa9 a letter stating that the
writer believed the flag belonged to
Mr. Mclnerny. It was at once recog
nized as one that was taken from Mr.
Mclnerny's stoie on July 4, 1886.
Evidently the emblem of liberty had
been in good hands all these years,
for it was as good as when it floated
out on the breeze on Independence
Day twelye years ago. .No doubt the
flag was taken for a joke years ago,
but remorse of conscience emote the
party having it in these patriotic times,
and knowing that Mac wanted to dis
play the national colors, returned to
him his long-lost flag. Mr. Mclnerny
will float the flag over his store when
news reaches us that Sampson and
Schley have annihilated the Spanish
fleet.

Jonii J. LeDtz, Orator and Statesmuu,
Will
Speak In T he Dalle.
On Saturday evening, June 4, the
people of War.co county wiil have the
pleasure of bearing the distinguished
orator from Ohio, Hon. John J, Lentz,
arrangements having been made by
the union campaign committee to
secure Mr. Lentz on that date, and
it will be the grandest rally-of the cam

ably today no orator with the ability
aud general magnetism of Mr. Lentz.
l'o this add the zeal always displayed
by a new convert to an honest cause,
aiid you have one whose earnestness
and ability to present a cause im
presses all his hearers.

and henceforth could be counted

where he bad rocked so smoothly for a
number of years, but with the zeal,
the energy and the earnestness of one

It was but a short time ago when he

Walla vallej this season. The show
ers of the past few days have relieved
the farmers of all uneasiness on that
point.
The normal school in Ellensburg
will close on June 15. The graduat
ing class (seniors) will number 26, and
the elementary class will comprise 35
students, the largest classes ever turn
ed out.
Flax culture in Marion county is
proving a success. The Oregon Flax
Fiber Association is farming 140 acres,
on which will be expended $3800,
When the crop is harvested it is ex
peeled to be worth $10,000.
The remnants of the old cannon
that exploded at the 'depot in Baker
City last week, with such fatal results,
is on exhibition in that town. The
oannon was of cast material and had
been in use for a long time, but to all
appearances was perfectly safe,
KING AKD SOVEREIGN.
They Attracted an Immense Audience in
Portland.
Hon. Will R. King, union nominee
for governor, and Hon. J. R. Sov
ereign, the great labor leader, who
are to speak here tonight, have at
tracted large audiences whereever
they have been, and are greeted with
marked enthusiasm. They spoke in
Portland last Saturday to the largest
and grandest meeting ever assembled
at any political rally in the city. The
Marquam Grand was filled to the very
doors and many were turned away be
cause they could not gain standing
room.
After a song by Madame Norelli,
Sensca Smith, chairman of the silver
republican eoran.ittee, introduced Mr.
King, Dext eoveroor of Oregon, who
spoke in his usual pleasant and logical
style for half an hour. Mr. Sovereign
then entertained the audience for an
hour and 30 minutes, giving vent tq
his grand eloquence until the hall
rang aith one continual roar of ap
plause. Auxiliary Emergency Corps.
In response to a meeting railed by
the committee appointed by the Com
mercial Club, about fifty ladies met
last evening st the Vogt opera house
and enrolled their names as members
of the projec ed emerge icy corps. A
permanent organization cannot be
effected until next week when thecon
stitution and bylaws will be secured
from headquarters in Portland. Ow
ing to the generosity of our merchants
and the ready response of the ladies to
do the work, a large box cf the articles
requested from headquarters will
be shipped to Portland tonight.
This call for help will probably be fol
lowed very closely by another, for the
corps in Portland have more work
than they can attend to, and the com
mittee here want to secure as large a
membership as possible to aid in the
good work. For the present those
wishing to enroll their names can do
so by calling at the office formally oc
cupied by The Dalles National bank
between the hours of 10 and 1, and 2
and 6. ' The ladies who have done such
rapid and praiseworthy work are in
debted for material to Pease & Mays,
A. M. Will'ams & Co., C. F. Stepaeus,

MAN SYMPATIir ee A Word
Spain Supplied With Coal
From That Country.
SAMPSON MAKES
AX IMPORTANT FIND.
Deposit of Coal for Spanish Fleet
Discovered.
Key West, May 28. A dispatch
boat just in from the northern coast
of Cuba says that Admiral Sampson
has seized a big boal deposit on Cayo,
(French territory) dumped there by a
German collier for the Spanish fleet.
The seizure is considered of great
importance, as it is evidence of where
German sympathy rests, and also im
plicates France. The discovery leads
the authorities here to feel confident
that both Germany and France are
standing in with the Spaniards. A
close watch will be kept on German J
and French vessels in the future.
PHILIPPINE EXPE

Great Farewell Demonstration at San
Francisco.
San Francisco. May 26. Thous
ands of people witnessed the departure
of the California and Oregon troops
yesterday afternoon. The transports
City of Peking, Australia and City of
ayaney were escorted by numerous
small crafts as they passed out over
the bar. Flags were flying- all over
the city, and every possible demon
stration in honor of the volunteers was
made.
The expedition consists of 2,500 men.
including the California and Oregon
volunteers, and was indeed a splendid
body of men. There were enough pro
visions on board to ltst the men a year.
They also carried a large cargo of am
munition and naval su pplies for Dewey.
When the expedition arrives he will
need for nothing with which to oper
ate bis guns and will be as well equip
ped as he was before the batlle in
Manilla bay. The expedition, barring
accidcijgnMLll reach Manilla within 14

More Damaging Evidence Against
Germany and France.
Chicago, May 26. A Record special
from Giboraltar conveys more evi
dence that Germany and France are
not observing strict neutrality, but
are using every means possible to in
directly aid the Spaniards. It says a
consignment of 40Kruppguns reached
Spain from Essen yesterday, having
passed German and French customs
officials as cooking utensils. The re
port causes great indignation here,
and is considered just cause for de
manding an explanation from the Ger
man and French governments.
