Tie Oregon Telephone & Telegraph
Co.have placed a very handsome tele
phB0 box Id the Umatilla House. It
has touble doors and windows and is
stalled and grained to represent
. antque oak. Ths will be quite a con-
' variance to the public, and is surely
.an (tractive addition to the hotel
i -.- Let night this section of the coun
try Tas visited by quite heavy rain.
Alhough it did not last long, yet did
nnold good, for eve-ything was ex
eejtlonally dry. It is reported Tygh
valey received a drenching rain.
.- when was badly needed. Undoubted-
ly tie southern part of the county re-e?l-ed
a general shower. .
Monday afternoon Hop. John Ml
riell and .Fred- W. Wilson addressed
tie citizens of EBdersby, aod their au
: ilence consisted of 25 of the union
party and five republicans. Acorres
' pondent .writing an account of the
',- pieeting says the republicans of that
: lKtion are not in politics this year,
i but "are "saying nothing and sawing
wood."
The Times-Mountaineer desires to
deal fairly with all political parties,
nevertheless it fearlessly exposes the
; fallacies of its opponents, it therefore
- desires that they should have every
opportunity to expose their own weak
ness, hence, it very much regrets hav
ing misstated the 'date" of Mr. Scfaoon
maker's meeting, for it well knew
what the line of his pretended argu
ment would be.
- Today a prominent republican was
net on the streets by a Times-Mountaineer
representative aud asked how
he liked Mr. Schoomaker's speech.
Jlls reply was; "J am gld it is not tp
be repeated, for if it were our cause
would be lost, We can not hope to
' win votes by abusing our enemies.
We must win them by argument, and
If we have no convincing argument,
our cause must fall. Schoonmaker is
entirely too abusive to convince the
populace of their error."
Yesterday the Times-Mountaineer
inadvertantly got Mr. Schoomaker's
dates at Dufur and The Dalles mixed,
and possibly might have kept some
away from his meeting. If so it is
Sincerely sorry, for it would have been
pleased if every voter in Wasco county
could have beard Mr. Schoomaker, for
his abusive style and gross misrepre
sentations is convincing evidence of
the weakness of the gold standard
cause, and has the tendency to drive
votes away from the gold standard
- nominees. .
the amount of salmon packed on
the river up to the present time is
reported to be almost up to that of
Jart season, says the Astorian. Not
withstanding reports to the contrary,
many of the fishermen bave made aver
age catches and their deliveries at the
canneries are fully up to those at the
same time last season. Salmon have
run steadily since the beginning of the
season, which is considered rather uo
- usual, as past seasons show that the
rUn increases or lessens, as the caso
may be. before the 1st of June. The
weight of the fish is above the w-
age, ii pouoas, Dut the past day or two
they are reported to be increasing in
size as well as In number.
Last evening James Blakeney start
ed out on horseback to look for his
cow. He found her near his brick
yard on the bluff and started to drive
her home. The cow took a notion to
go in the opposite direction from home
- and made a run for the hills. Mr.
Blakeney wheeled his horse quickly
and in so doing the horse slipped and
fell on his left leg and broke it just
above the ankle. Shortly after the
accident Mr. Deitzel came along and
found Mr. Blakeney and immediately
came down town and secured assist
ance and had the injured man brought
to his home. Dr. Doane was called
and made an examination and found a
very bad break. It is strange that
the fracture Is in the same place as
one receiveJ in 1872, while Mr. BUke-
nev was working on tne wnarL-boat in
this city. ' The limb has njfbeen set
vet. as the spelling has not gone down
sufficiently. Mr. Blakeney is resting
fairly easy today.

Inuring tie campaign of 1892, as in
the present campaign, Judge Bradr
ahaw made na political speeches. He
is a democrat and always has
ben, but he rightly considers a judi
cial office above partisanship, there
fore has never sought votes on polit-
fcai issues. His record as an attorney
and a judge is his recommendation.

Ing Louie Cemini's place of business

scared, otherwise was uninjured.
The outlook for wool is a little more
encouraging than it was a few days
ago. The Oregonian of June 1st, in
its market report, quotes Eastern Ore
gon wool at 8 to 12 cents. The de
mand for woolens to clothe the army
may cause it to go a shade higher.
We trust that first-class Eastern Ore
gon wool may, on rbii account, reach
15 cents before the season olosea.
During seven years on the bench
Judge Bradshaw has never allowed
politics to become an issue in his

ciples, but has refrained from drag
ging partisanship into oourt, For
this the paopla of the seventh district
aspect and honor him.

thoroughly investigated the systems
of Wall street bankers, be certainly
has argument to submit for the cause
of bimetslUm that is worth bearing.
Judge story returned last nightfrom
a visit to Southern Oregon, and brings
encouraging accounts for the union
ticket from that section of the state.
It 5s conceded by all that Mr. Veatch

It is to be hoped that no party' will
undertake to run in the hobo vote next
Monday. What is to be desired is a
fair vote of the actual residents of

his vote should not be recorded.

MB. SCHOON MAKER'S SPEECH.
Disappointing t Republican and Enconr-
mglng to Their Opponent.
Mr. Schoonmaker's address at the
opera house last night was a bitter
diatribe against the opposition, in
which empty, Invective and unreason
ing abuse took the place of argument.
It will cost the republican party many
votes in this locality. The speaker
dubbed all who opposed him "copper
heads." and referred to the patriotic
men in the United States senate who
voted for the recognition of Cuban
independence, as belonging to the
"socialistic and anarchistic" element,
and as "buccaneers" and worse than
copperheads."
Many republicans who still hold to
their party are by no means lost to the
sense of decency and propriety, nor do
they forget that many patriotic sena
tors of their own party, including
Thurston, Foraker and Perkins,
of California; Mason, of Illinois; Wil
son, of Washington, and Chandler, of
New Hampshire, as well as Teller,
Mantle and the other silver republi
cans, voted and fought lor this recog
nition, and will resent an unwarrant
ed attack upon their patriotism. But
on the other hand, .geld democrats,
who listened to the harsh and bitter
words, have been called "copper
heads" so often themselves in the
past, that this reiteration stirs old
party associations in their hearts, and
makes it harder than ever to desert
their old comrades, by whose sides
they have fought in many a hard cam
paign. Men can not be won
by abuse and vituperation.
What there was in the way of argu
ment in the address was weak and un
satisfactory, a mere reiteration of the
speaker's talk of two years ago, at this
place with the same identical illus
tration and witticisms thoughout. So
exactly was the very language itself a
reproduction of the speech of two years
ago, that his m arers were compelled
to wonder how he could remember and
reproduce it word for word, through
such an interval of time.
- The argument, based upon the stack
of pennies and the gold dollar, is es
pecially weak. The fact that a
hundred pennies has always been
equivalent to a dollar does not tend to
prove that the general purchasing
value of a dollar does not change; be
cause the value f pennies depends up
on the value of a dollar, and of course
follows It whether It be high or low.
If a dollar was made ten times as large
or valuable, the hundred pennlss would
still be worth just as much as the en
larged dollar, and if we would adopt
the silver dollar again as our standard
the hundred pennies would at once
correspond with that dollar. In other
words, the pennies are merely one
hundredths of a dollar, and rise or fall
with the dollar itself.
The other arguments were of a sim
ilar character. There were about 150
in the audience, and abouv two-thirds
of these remained until the speaker
closed. -

aOKRIBLB ACCIDENT.
An Indian Baa Both Legs Ground off by the
Switch Engine.
Yesterday afternoon about 4:30 the
switch engine, in going from the depot
to the roundhouse, ran into an Indian
just in front of Sam Wilkinson's ware
house on Front street. The engine
was going very slow at the time, and
the Indian was seen coming up the
track, but the engineer thought natur
ally he would get out of harm's way at
the bell was ringing. The redman
still retained the center of the track
and was struck by the tender and had
both legs ground off. Dr. Doane was
immediately called and had the injur
ed man removed to the city jail, where
he was shown every attention possible,
but the shock was too great and he
died at 8:30 last night. Marshal Lauer
found a bottle of alcohol on- his person
and undoubtedly he was in an intox
icated condition when the accident
happened.
Coroner W. H. Butts held an inquest
this morning with the following result
The Dalles, Or. June 3, 1878.
We, the jury called and sworn to In
quire into the cause of the death of an
Indian whose body now lies before us,
after beariug the evidence of the dif
ferent witnesses called and sworn find
as follows:
That the name of said deceased was
Sam, his place of residence being Rock
Creek, Wash., and being a member of
the Rock Creek tribe of Indians; that
he came to bis death on June 2d, 1898,
by being run over in Dalles city by
switch engine No. 12 belonging to the
O. R. St, N. Co., which was at the time
in charge of Engineer C. A. Brown aud
H. Willerton; we further find from all
the evidence that the accident which
resulted in his death was due to una
voidable causes and no blame attaches
to any one therefor.

WRECKED OFF CAFE ' FLATTEST.
Ben anipea
jr. Though
Drowned.
to Bare Been
A report has been received that the
Alaska bound scheoner Jane Grey,
which left Seattle for Katzbure sound
with a party of 61 prospectors, has
been wrecked off cape Flattery. Ben
Snipes, jr., who is well known in this
city, having spent his childhood days
here, was one of the party, and it is
thought he was lost. Out of the 61
passengers 34 were drowned. Just
before the vessel went down
Ben was seen standing on the deck,
and since then nothing has been
heard from him. His uncle, Geo.
Snipes, of this city, received a dispatch
today stating that in all probability
Ben was one of the unfortunates lost.
This Is very sad indeed for he was an
only child and a favorite among
those who knew him. He was an ex
ceptionally bright young man, and
one who had many friends in The
Dalles who will be grieved to learn of
his sad fate.

The Crook County Journal) a very
radical republican organ, very truth
fully says; "The office of circuit judge
is and should be strictly non-partisan,
but the candidate should be competent
to form an opinion on the great politi
cal issues."
The Journal has a correct view re
garding this office, for our judiciary
should be kept perfectly clear from
politics, and while the candidate
should be competent, to "form
opinions on the great political issues,"
it is unbecoming him to attempt to
drag partisan strife into the office, and
it is not expected of him that he will
be so ardent & partUan that he will
carry his politics Into court.
Of course candidates for judicial
honors must be nominated by parties;
but it has been a long established
rule in this state that nominees for
supreme and circuit judgeship do not
epter ipto the campaign as strict
partisans. It has not been, expected
of them that they T make political
speeches during the campaign, and few
indeed have, They have in the past
run on their merits as attorneys, and
not as republtoans, democrats or popu
lists, Tbe ofljQS U entirely Above
politics and should be so considered.
Short Crops.
Many have thought that th.e present
high price cf wheat b) due, almost en
tirely to speculation. But it appears
from the monthly report of the statis
tical bureau at Washington that it is
largely due to shortage cf crop.
According to this report, the wheat
crop last year was only 3,139,549,168
bushels, as affalrst 2,430,497,000 in
1896, 2,546,494,000 in 1893 and 2,676,
651,000 in 1894. The wheat crop in tbe
United States last year was greater
than at any time since 1883, but there
was a great shortage in European
countries. Leiter did not make high-
priced wheat, hut simply sailed into
port at high tide.
While speculations have made and
lost millions, the American farmer has
been benefited by the shortage In the
Old World.
Always the (lame. -
For seven years Judge W. L. Brad
shaw has presided over the courts of
the seventh judlolal district, and dur
ing that time there has been no
change In his demeanor towards his
neighbors and friends whether upon
the bench, traveling through the conn-
try, on the street, in society circles or as
a candidate for office he has been the
same affable, congenial gentleman
treating all alike and recognizing every
body as his equal. On the bench he has
pursued a simillar course, always
pleasant to attorneys, witnesses and
jurymen, though firm and positive in
his decisions. He is truly an every-
day man, one who never flinches from
duty and is ever ready to greet his
fellowman as his peer His candicacy
for re-election appeals strongly to
those who class themselves as the com
mon people, and who admire sterling
worth, honor, Integrity and a wise
judge.

A Good Kecord.
During the past seven years there
has been fewer cuses appealed from
the circuit court in the seventh dis
trict than any other district in the
state, and of the cases appealed the
circuit court has been .sustained
oftener than it has been reversed.
This is undisputahle evidence that
the judge of the seventh district has
in general been right in rendering
legal decision. A court that as a rule
follows the law so closely that appeals
from his decisions are seldom taken is
usually right, for attorneys will not
allow wrong decisions to stand, and
one that runs the crusical test of the
supreme court and is sustained oftener
than he is reversed, must be very
nearly perfect In his knowledge of
law. When such a judge is found it
is to the interest of litigants that he
be retained on the bench.
Balaed the Insnranee,
Intense indignation is felt among
those who bare sons in service, owing
to tha fact that certain insurance com
panies have raised 10 per cent on
policies held by volunteers going to
the front. .
One angry father declared today
that it was nothing less than robbery;
that the Insurance companies were
taking advantage of the soldiers'
patriotism, who were serving their
country, to extort extra premiums.
He showed a Tlegram reporter a
circular letter which Informed him
that owing to added risks, his son, who
was in the service, would bave to
pay an extra preminm of 10 per cent.
It would be deducted from the in
terest or the party could send the ex
tra amount with the payment as they
fell due. Portland telegram.
Yukon Steamers to Throw Away.
One hundred and twenty new
steamers and barges, mostly steamers,
for Yukon river service this season,
are now in sight, including 10 built at
Tacoma, 40 at Seattle and Ballard, 19
at Dutch Harbor with many others on
the lower Sound, Portland, California,
and over 20 shipped out from the east.
As far as known there will be
enough business for about one-third of
these members. Navigators believe
some of them will be lost en route to
St. Michaels, while many are certain
of being stranded on the Yukon's
shores during the summer for want of
pilots familiar with the river where it
traverses the Yukpn flats, between
Fort Yukon and Circle. Established
companies have this part of the river
divided into sections with a native
pilot for eaoh 50 or 60 miles, who do
nothing but study its channel. The
new steamers will not have this ad
vantage. Mew JUall Catchers.
Carpenters of the "O. R. & N. Co,
have just completed 50 of thfc new
style Flemming mail pouch deliverers
and catchers which are being erected
at various points on the road,
Seyeral months past, . the postal
authorities adopted three different
styles of pouoh catchers, but allowed
the railroad companies to select their
own choice from the three. The
Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line and
the O. R. & N. all adopted the Flem
ming deliverer. It is to comply with
tbe government's orders that the old
ones are being displaced by the new.

ANOTHER FIGHT
WILL OCCUR
Anerican and Spanish Fleets
May Meet.
AX IBIPORTANT
BATTLE EXPECTED.
Spanish Fleet May Attack Commodore
Schley.
WASHITGTON, June 2. A Madrid
dispatch claims that there was only
one vessel of Cervera'j fleet in
Santiago harbor at the time the Amer
ican fleet bombarded Morro Castle. No
information Is giyen as to the where
abouts of the Spanish fleet but it is
intimated that Cervera will attack the
American fleet in front of Santiago to
day ana that an important engage
ment may be expected. The depart
ment here believes Cervera's fleet was
inside the harbor at the time of the
bombardment, and that the Madrid ad
vices are misleading.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
N
Y. Journal's Account of the Bom
bardment of Santiago.
New York, June 1. An Evening
Journal special from Cape Haytien
says: The torpedo-boat Porter arrived
at Mole St. Nicholas, at 1 o'clock this
morning with dispatches for Wash
ington. She left Immediately. Before
going to sea, the following stcry
of the bombardment of Santiago was
obtained:
The American squadron, augmented
by the torpedo-boat Porter and an
auxiliary cruiser and the protected
cruiser New Orleans, approached the
entrance to the harbor of Santiago at
about 12:30 P. M., the Iowa leading.
Inside the entrance to the harbor was
seen one warship of Ceryera's fleet,
stripped for action. As the American
fleet drew near, the New Orleans was
detached and steamed ahead of tbe
Iowa, Texas, and Massachusetts.
One of the forts opened on her, and she
replied, the other ships directing their
fire at the battery on Punta Corda
within the harbor and to the westward
of the position occupied by the Spanish
ship. The latter replied to the fire
and immediately became a target for
all the American ahlps engaged in
the battle. She retired behind the
protecting headlands and was not seen
again during the engagement.
The Iowa, directed by Captian
Fighting Bob" Evans; the Mass
achusetts, Texas and New Orleans,
kept up a terrific fire against the forts
for two hoars, their projectiles, of enor.
moussize, doing tremendous damage
to the defenses of the harbor.
The masonry of Socapa and Morro
was battered almost into dust and the
forms of Spanish artillery and infantry
men could plainly be seen flying to
safety behind neighboring hills.
The auxiliary cruiser which joined
Schley's fleet just before tbe battle
took place, was hit by shells from the
forts and it is thought was seriously
damaged. After seeking the protection
of the jutting headland, the Spanish
warships continued to fire projectiles
oyer the Mils towards tbe fleet, but
they had no range, and the shells fell
harmlessly into the sea. That the
number of woundod and killed on the
Spanish side is enormous, no one
doubts, for time and again the
American shells hit the' battries
spuarely, and amid the flying masonry
and dismantled guns, the forms of
men were seen. The damage done to
the American fleet cannot be learned,
but It is not thought that any person
was killed, if Indeed, any one was
wounded.
GOING
TO JOIN
SCHLEY'S
FLEET
The Battleship Oregon and Two
Cruisers on the Way.
Washington, June 2. Advices
from Port Antony are that the battle
ship Oregon, eruiser New York, an
other cruiser and two colliers are on
the way to Santiago to join Commo
dore Schley's fleet, sailing under
orders from the navy department.
When they arrive Sampson's fleet
will be strong enough to destroy any
fleet the Spaniards can possibly get
together in Cuban waters, and if Cer
vera's fleet should hazard an engage
ment it would be no match for the
Americans.
Thirty-Four Were Drowned.
Seattle, June 2. The wreck of
