Sheriff Kelly returned last event Dg
from Salem where be had been with
Richardson the man who was com
mltted to the asylum from this county
a few days since. While at the asylum,
Mr. Kelly inquired about the patients
' who have been committed from this
city. Richard Fulton still labors un
der the delusion that the Mormons are
' after him, and is little improved. Mrs.
Sheffield is about the same as she was
when committed there, being very
little, if any better, while Miss Laura
Donaldson is improving rapidly and is
at present in the con valescants ward.
- Andrew Kellar, the enterprising
proprietor of the Oregon Bakery and
Cafe, seems to be never satisfied except
he is making Improvements in his
place of business. His last move has
been to put in a water motor which he
will use for the purpose of running the
ice cream freezer. It works superior
to anything of the kind that we hae
ever seen, freezing seven gallons of
' ice cream in ten minutes, and doing It
in a manner superior to that done by
band power. By the new contrivance
Mr. Kellar is enabled to supply his
patron's with any quantity of icecream
on the shortest possible notice.
'A. E. Lake, of Wamic, is in the
city. In speaking of the proposition
of floating' logs from the mountains
down the Deschutes to the proposed
mill sight, Mr. Lake says: ' We have
o far Deen unable to give it a fair trial
as the logs we started down were put
in during a freshet, and as the water
. recided rapidly the logs were left along
the banks, bigb and dry." In a short
time they will be rolled back into the
stream and as the water is at a more
favorable stage the venture will be
thoroughly tested. The only . fear is
that the boom will not hold the logs
after they arrive at the mill night.
Mr. Lake figures that under ordinary
ircumjuncei it rill take 00 dj for
log drive to go from the mountains to
the mill.

ing to cross the river from Columbus

J. Kretzer has returned from a trip
to Prineville where he had been in

a franchise for putting in water works

ion tbat artesian water could be bad
at or near Prineville at a reasonable
depth, and this plan of getting a sup
ply for the water works will likely be
adopted by Mr. Gates.

treatment of plaintiff. Joha L. Hen
derson is Sweeney's attorney.
In a set of resolutions passed by the
J. W. Nesmitb Post, G. A. R., and
published in another column, the
members of that body , question the
findings of the corener's jury that in
vestigated the killing of the late W.
D. Jones at Antelope, and ask that an
other investigation be made. From
this it would seem that the post woqld
bring the matter before the grand
jury at its next session.- Such an ac
tion would stem unnecessary, since
no doubt the matter was gone into
fully by the coroner's jury, but If the
the investigation were not full and
thorough, it is the privilege of the
post or anybody else to demand an
other investigation.
Yesterday morning quite a serious
accident occurred between Arlington

of attorneys from The Dalles were

Henson, of Coalton, Boyd Co., Ky., writes :
" In October 18S9 I gave birth to a baby and
the treatment I received at the hands of the mid
wife left me with prolapsus. I had no health to
speak of for three years. I had another baby
which -eras the third child. My health began to
fail and I then had three miscarriages and found
myself completely worn out. I had so many
pains and aches my life was a burden to me
and also to all the family, for I was nervous and
cross and I could not sleep. Bad four doctors.
They said I had liver, lung and uterine
trouble. I was in bed for months and when I
dui get op, I was a sight to behold. I looked
like a corpse walking about. I commenced tak

few weeks I became a well woman. Before I
besran the use of Dr. Pierce's medicine I suf
fered all a woman could suffer at my monthly

Wasco County Forest Reserve Associa
tion Proposes to Do Effective Work.
Last Saturday afternoon the Wasco
County Forest Reserve Protective As
sociation held a regular meeting in
Dufur, presided oyer by I. D. Driver,
president of the association, with M.
J. Anderson acting as secretary. At
the meeting the constitution and by
laws of the association were adopted,
and the objects of thp organization
were fully set forth. In the constitu
tion It is announced that the objects
of the association are to aid govern
ment officials In enforcing the laws for
the protection of tin forest reserve,
and to use all efforts to protect the
water1 supply along the eastern slne
of the Cascade mountains in Wasco
county.
To carry out these aims the associa
tion voted to offer a reward of $1U0
for the arrest and conviction of any
person willfully or negligently setting
fire to the forests within Wasco county.
The executive committee of the asso
ciation was also authorized to pay tho
expenses of any member who dectects
persons violating the regulations
governing the reserve, and every mem
ber pledges himself to report any
violation of the forest regulations that
may come to his knowledge.
The association has a membership
of about 60 who are farmers, stock
raisers and business men of Dufur and
adjacent towns, interested in the ques
tion of water supply in the section
north and west of the Deschutes river
in this county, who have become
alarmed at the decrease of the water
supply in their respective sections,
and believe it is owing to the heavy
pasturing of the range along the east
slope of the Cascades and the forest
fires that yearly rage in tbat section.
Tbey believe a strict enforcement of
the forest reserve regulations will re
store the water supply to its normal
condition, and will use every legitimate
means to cause the enforcement of
such regulations as will be necessary
to prevent the over pasturing of the
reserve and the setting out of forest
fires. '

Moro.
About 8 p. m. Sunday F. Kabler,.
an agent for the White Sewing Ma
chine Co.-, was killed near Moro by
being run over by a Columbia South
ern train. It appears that Mr. Kahler
was out -walking on a high trestle this
side of Moro wheq the train from Biggs
was pulling into the town, and the
train was going down a steep grade
at quite a rapid rate, so when the
engineer saw a man on the track he
could not check the engine, and as
there was no possible way for the man
to get off the track he was run into
and killed almost instantly.
Deceased was about 60 years of age,
and his former home was at Niagara,
New York. He had been in the em
ploy of the White Sewing Machine
Company for a number ot years, and
some two weeks ago was sent to The
Dulles to look afr-er the company's
interests, having made his headquartes
at Johnston & Co's store. Last Sat
urday he left for Moro to look after
some business for the company, and
it is presumed he was out for a walk
when the accident occurred.

held April 8th,1899,the following reso
lutions were unaminously adopted.

tbis post; ia the death of our Comrade '
W. D. Jones, have suffered the loss of
one of our most estenmed members, en
deared to us by many years of associa
tion in our order. We have lost a
good friend, a true comrade and one
tbat was a gallant soldier, the public

and his family a member whose place
can never be refilled. To bis family
we tander our heartfelt sympathy in
their bereavement.
Resolved, That we, the members of
this post, judging from "all th9 infor
mation we have, have reason to think
that the action of the coroner's jury
in the case of Comrade W.D.Jones,
recently killed near' Antelope, in Was
co county, did not fully explain the
circumstances of the tradegy, and we
hereby request that the proper author
ities investigate all the facts leading
up to and ending in the deah of said
W. D. Jones, that full justice may be
done.
We direct that these resolutions be

THE OUEOUNIAN CALLED DOWN.
Colonel Enos Corrects Some of Its
Misstatements.
The following letter was forwarded
to the Oregonian a few days since, but
that paper refused to publish it. prob
ably not caring to allow itself contra
dicted: Goldendale. Wash. April 4th 1899.
Editor The Oregonian
In your issue of April 1st, was an
editorial headed, "The Republican
party will succeed itself in 1900."
Then you say, "No party that fought
to a successful conclusion a domestic
or foreign war was ever defeated at
the polls in America." The Mexican
war was a foreign war, and the whig
party, the predecessor of the republi
can party, said it was "A democratic
and unholy war." James K. Polk, a
democrat, was president, and both
houses of congress were democratic
by a good working majolity. The first
battle of the war was fought May 8th,
1746. The war lasted over eighteen
months. With many hard fought bat
tles our armies never met with defeat:
but were victorious from start to finish
and when our flag floated over the
capital of Old Mexico, the Mexicans
sued for peace. Instead of sending
five psalm singing statesman to Paris
to make a treaty of peace, President
Polk sent Nicolas P. Trial to Mexico
with terms of settlement, whlcb were
accepted by the Mexicaa government.
If you can name any war In ancient or
modern times that was prosecuted
more successfully than the Mexican
war, please name it. Yet -the demo
crats had a majority of 48 over the
whigs in the 29th congress in the
lever house, which was in 'session
when the war commenced May, 1846.
The congressional elections held in
November, 1846, six 'months after the
commencement of the war resulted ia
giving the whigs control of the 30th
congress, which elected Robert C.
vvintnrop, wbig, speaker. ibis was
the first great defeat the democrats
met at the polls after the war started,
but this was not all. In the presiden
tial election following the war in 1848,
