the preponderance of evidence to

murderer, made an unsuccessful at
tempt to escape from the Eugene jail

into the corridor' between the rows of
steel cells, to exercise and wash. He
was suddenly ordered to "throw -up
your hands." Looking up he saw Bran
ton standing a little in the dark and
holding in his hand what resembled a
navy six-shooter. The sheriff was
amazed, and thought possibly Branton
had by some means procured a gun,
but kept cool and said: "Oh, come
off." In a few seconds Branton con
cluded that his ruse had been discov
ered and laughed and said he meant
nothing. Later he stated that if it
had been a real gun he would have
done some "real shooting."

in many of the leading towns of the

formed us further, with his usual
cheerful smile and knowing wink,

to assist him in disposing of his goods.

The work of plaster! a g and papering
in the Columbia Hotel which was
made necessary by the fire of about a
month ago is now finished and to say
that the hotel is decieediy improved is
expressing It lightly. J. F. Shelton,
who recently came here from the East,
had charge of the work and on account
of the artistic manner in which he
performed the same is deserving of
If the blood in sufficient quan
tity leaves the body because of
a wound or hemorrhage of th
longs the result is death.
Life depends on the blood
because the blood carries to all
parts of the body the nutritive
elements necessary to sustain it.
What if these nutritive ele
ments are absent?
What if they are supplanted
by poisonous, effete matter and
disease germs?
The first result is disease par
tial death. The final result is the
same as from loss of blood.
All disease is traceable to im
purity or weakness of the blood
and that is the reason the
"Golden Medical Discovery"
cures so many different diseases
it purifies and vitalizes the
blood makes it rich, red and

for the starving nerves and
tissues.
Consumption is properly a dis
ease of the blood so is scrofula
so is rheumatism. They look
like different diseases but one
medicine will relieve all three.
" I am using a good many of you-
medicine in my practice," writes
Dr. Joseph Fike, of Ijst Springs,
Marion Co., Kansas. "Ten years
sgo a patient of mine was badly af
fected with that dreadful disease,
scrofula. Her mouth and throat
were in an awful condition, and
there were lumps on the outside be
low the jaws the sixe of a hen's egg.
Other doctors said it was a fatal case.

remedies would benefit her any. It
came to my mind that Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery was rec
ommended for such cases, so 1 ga-ro.

She is married now and has three

L
praise, as the work is well done
throughout, all the rooms having a
neat, -inviting appearance. In fact
the building from basement to garret is
like new and certainly merits the title
of a first class house. The next step
towards the embellishment of the
building will be the painting of the
outside. It will be covered with a
bright canary color and will, when
finished, have an outside appearance
as fine as the interior.
It is indeed seldom that the people
of The Dalles have the opportunity of
enjoying a more beautiful day than
was yesterday. The bright sunshine
and balmy air lured almost everyone,
who could possibly go out, to take a
walk in the county, and the different
avenues leading to and from the city
were alive with people while many
could be seen enjoying a quiet row on
the river, while still others spent iheir
time in driving or riding, and it is
safe to safe that scarcity one among
the entire multitude failed to enjoy
the, afternoon to the full extent. It is
not everv Sunday or holiday that is
such a model as was yesterday and it
was indeed a treat to those who have
to work indoors ail week.

as did yestei day's train. As it is at

get through only about once in two

Good beef cattle are scarce in Lake
and adjoining counties at present, and
the unprecedented demand for fat cat
tle has caused many stockmen to con
sider the proposition of winter feeding
them for the spring market. About
the only available beef cattle in the

son, tbe wealthy Indian stockman of
the reservation, who has about 150
which he is feeding at the Big marsh.
A fierce up river breeze so common
in this place during the spring pre
vailed this afternoon and raised quite
dust. . In fact more than dust was
raised in places as pieces of gravel as
large as bird shot were hurled through
the air and when they come in con
tact with one's face he feels that in
doors is the proper place for him at
that particular time. About 3 o'clock
tbe wind stopped and a shower of rain
fell to settle what dust was left un
moved. Mr. Walthers, of the firm of Mays &
Crowe of this city, returned from a
trip to Portland yesterday evening.
While there he called on L. E. Crowe,
who is confined to his room at the res
idence ofF. P. Mays. Mr. Crowe is
getting along much better the last few
days and will in all probability be able
to go out in the air in a short time.
If he continues to improve he will be

A BATTLE ROYAL.
Jack Lawler Receives His Deserts at the
Hands of the Man he Assaulted.
A fierce encounter took place on the
wharf Saturday morning, and one of the
combatants may thank ms lucky stars
that he has survived the shuffle. It
appears that Jack Lawler went to Mr.
Allaway and enquired concerning a
saddle which was in the wharf-boat
and which he claimed belonged to him.
Mr. Allaway told him to see Mr.
Eastwood about the matter and if the
saddle was his that that gentleman
would give it to him.
In place of going to the party di
rected, he enquired of, -Ralph Gibons
concerning the matter and was in
formed that Eastwood would be there
in a short time and look into the mat-

"Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine has done a
great deal of good. I suffered for years from
sleeplessness and nervous heart tremble.
Would feel weary and nsed up In the morn
ing, had no ambition and my work seemed a
burden. A friend recommended Dr. Miles
Nervine, and I purchased a,-bottle under
protest as I had tried so many remedies un
successfully, I thought it no use. But it
gave me restful sleep, a good appetite and
restored me to energetic health. It is a
grand good medicine, and I will gladly write
anyone inquiring, full particulars of my sat

assessor
ter. Lawler told Gibbons that he was
running a jam on him and called him
an offensive name, and as Gibons
reached down to handle some freight
Lawler struck him a vicious blow over
the right eye. Gibons immediately
made a pass at Lawler striking him on
mouth and severely cutting his 'V-T-d
on his teeth, Lawler started to run
Gibbons following with a club which
he had picked up. He caught up to
bis man on tbe incline near the D. P.
& A. N. office. When he came up to
him he struck him on the side with
the club and gave him several blows
in the face with his fist knocking him
down. As he fell his head struck on
the planks caving in the skull over
one of his eyes and breaking his nose.
He was carried to the city jail and
Dr. Hollister called to attend .to his
injuries. He found that while be was
bfdly hurt he was not in a critical
condition as was at first thought, and
it is expected that he will recover,
He will be kept In jail until he is out
of danger, when he will be given a
short time to get out of town.
Lawler is considered a bad man and
has tbe reputation of a fighter. His
assault on Mr. Gibons was totally un
provoked and it is the opinion of every
one that he got just what he deserved
It is said that he was run out of Port
land some time ago for a like offense,
and is not a desirable character to
have in any community.
CLOSED SEASONS FOR F18H.
Defeettve Bill of the Regular Session Does
Not Defeat License Law Already,
in Force.
The public mind seems to be much
confused as to the purport of the fishery
laws of Oregon now in force. The
fact that one bill that passed both
houses of the legislature at the recent
session proved to be defective is taken
by many as an upsetting the legisla
tion previously in effect and as leaving
the laws touching salmon-fishing in
chaotic condition. This is a great
mistake. Fish Commissoner McGuire
says some of the fisherman amenable
to the license law enacted at the extra
session of the legislature last fall re
fuse to pay their licenses, and others,
who have already paid, threaten to go
into court to compel the return of the
money thus paid by them.
The misunderstanding is partly due
to the fact that the fish commissioner
did not promptly take steps to collect
the licenses under the law passed last
fall, as he expected modifications in
that law to be made at the regular ses
sion, and thought confusion and pos
sible injustice would result if he un
dertook' to enforce the new law while
modifications were pending.
While one class of fisherman doubts
the legality of the licenses now being
exacted from them, another class is
trying to pick flaws in provisions for
close seasons. In order to bring this
matter into concise form, so that he
who runs may read and understand.
We print the following from Fish
Commissioner McGuire concerning
the close seasons for the differ en
kinds of fish in this section.
CLOSE SEASONS FOR PISHING.
Salmon On the Columbia river and
its tributaries, from noon on February
15 to noon on April 15, and from Au
gust 10, noon, to September 10, noon.
Sturgeon On the Columbia river,
between March 1 and November 1. It
is unlawful to take, kill, or have in
possession at any time sturgeon less
than four feet in length.
Trout On all streams, between
November 1 and April 1.' The sale of
trout at any time is prohibited. East
ern brook trout are protected lor a
period of three years, during which
time it is unlawful to take or have in
possession any of those varieties.
Tbe close season is the time during
which the taking of fish la prohibited
by law.'

' Hood Rtrer Oil Wells.
A resident of Hood River was asked
what was the prospects of the party
vrho was boring for oil near that town.
He said that the general opinion was
that there is no coal oil to be found
there. The idea that coal or coal oil
might be found was caused by a gas
whice would burn, arising through an
opening In the ice on a small pond.
The bottom of this pond is covered
with mud and decaying vegatable mat
ter, which generates sulphureted hy
drogen gas, the stuff that "jack-o'-
lanterns" or , "wlll-o'-the-wlsos" are
made of.
Such gas is constantly arising from
such places, and bubbles up in large
quantities when the bottom of the
pond is stirred with a pole, and bub
bles of it are seen in tbe ice when
such ponds freeze over, the gas, of
course, 'escapes through any opening
in the ice, and if a match is touched
to it burns with a bluish flame. '
x ne gas nas tne oaor oi rotten eggs.
While it is the general opinion that
this sulphurated hydrogen is the only
gas to be found at the pond in ques
tion, it may be that oil may be found
by boring there, and eqerybody wishes
Mr. Winans success in his experiment.
The wool market still remains dull
while the prices are unchanged.
Scarcely any wool is changing: hands
as the producers refuse to take the
prices offered, which range from nine
to twelve cents. The latter price
being paid for only the very choicest
quality. The warehouse men are of
the opinion that there will be do raise
in the price while the producers are
firmly convinced they can do better by
holding longer, and what the result
will be cannot be guessed. Wheat
sales are also few and far between, the
price offered for first class wheat being
52 cents.

Mr. Smith explained to the meeting
that the warrant indebtedness would
be considerably decreased as soon as
tbe state appointment was receiyed
and taxes began coming in.
After the report of the clerk had
been, read and received, Chairman
Adams introduced the following reso
lutions which was unanimously adopt
ed: "Resolved, by the taxpayers and
legal voters of district No. 12 Wasco
county, that we tender a vote of thanks
to State Senator John Michell for the
impartial and just manner in which he
discharged his duties as a member of
the investigating committee appointed
to enquire into the matter of the
school money loaned to the state
Agricultural Society."
In presenting the resolution, Mr.
Adams read the report of the com
mittee, consisting of Senators Joseph!,
Wade and Michell, in which it is
shown that the State Agricultural
Society had borrowed 811,000 of the
irreduciable state school fund on
which no interest had ever been paid,
and recommending that steps be taken
for the collection thereof.
NevB-as there a better time to im
prove Second street than at ' present.
It is covered with partially dried mud
and if the same is scraped together in
heaps and hauled away thee will be
considerably less dust during the sum
mer months, besides the street will be
leveler and in a shape to make a good
impression on visitors to The Dalles.
In this we have as good a business
section as can be found in any town of
the size of ours and it would certainly
be wrong to let outsiders be poorly
impressed by having the street in a
miserable shape when a little ex
penditure on the part of the property
owners would do so much towards lnr
proving its condition and at the same
time put it in a shape so that it would
be pleasant to travel on during tbe
summer months. '
A part of the machinery for Captain
Davidson's Saw mill, which is under
course of construction at Hood River,
is in this city today and will be ship
ped through to its destination with
the next freight. Only the lighter
machinery is sent with this shipment,
the rest being held back until the spur
is built to the mill so that the engine
boiler and other heavy parti can be
nnloaded upon the spot where they
will be put in place. , The parts which
we have seen are unusually large and
give a good idea of the dimensions of
tbe new m'U which will be tbe largest
in this section of the state.
