respected citizen, whose places will be
difficult to fill, and the medical pro

one of the most successful practitioners

tor locates in Portland he will make
weekly visits to The Dalles.
The Yakima Republican has solved
the mystery of the dust stwm which
visited The Dalles several weeks ago.
It ciaims the credit of Yakima county
having furnished the dust that wan
carried over here by a heavy north
wind. The soil in Yakima valley is
very light, and oi a yeiiowisn one
simlllar to the dust that was seen here, j
The Republican's theory is probably
correct.

Yesterday Constable Hill went to
Mosler and arrested Christian Wyss
on a charge of threatening to kill, and
tbe examination is being held before
Justice Bayard this afternoon, A. A.
Jayne appearing for the state and F.
Menefee for tbe defense. From the
evidence it appears that Mr. Wyss has
been in the habit of arming himself
with a double barrel shotgun and
threatening to exterminate his neigh
bors. The meeting to be held at tbe club
rooms tomorrow evening is intended
for all who have lh? welfare of The
Dalles at heart. At the meeting the
first limit for debate will be extended
and all will have an opportunity to ex
press their views and make sugges
tions that are germane to the subject.
Certaioly very much depends upon the
result of this meeting, and it should
be well attended.
Tbe motive thrilling through every
good love story that was ever written
is brought out with startling effect in
"tbe Avenger," which is announced to
appear at the Vogt Opera bouse on
Monday, May 15, .. wben Mr. John
Griffith and his powerful company will
be seen in this city. The play which
is an historical one will be seen for tbe
first time in The Dalles ' on that date.
Wherever it has been played, public
and press are unanimous in praising
its merits.
Death of Huston Hoffman.
The misfortune which overtook
Huston Huffman resulting in bis death
was indeed a sad affair, and one that
should serve as a warning to all boys
to not handle firearms carelessly. .The
evidence produced at tbe coroners in
quest, held by Justice Bayard, dis
closed the following facts:
The bov came here from California
last June, and worked for a time for C.
W. Emerson on lower Fifteeu-Mile
and bad made his home at Mr. Emer
son's since last December. He was
attending school and at noon Tuesday
Mrs. Emerson had told him to return
by Mr. Moe's as he came from school,
and bring with bim some bread and a
cat. Instead of doing as be was told,
he came home, got a horse, and also a
dubble-barreled, muzzle-load shotgun,
being very fond of bunting, and went
to Mr. Moe's. There he got the things
be had been sent after, and started
home. He had left the shotgun at
what is called a marker, a " wooden
contrivance used in farming, about 40
rods from Mr. Moe's house. It is pre
sumed the boy rode up to where the
gun was, and without dismounting
caught hold of the muzzle and under
took to lift it up when it was discharg
ed, tbe load passing through bis head
causing instant death- The boy was
found about 6:30 in tbe evening by Mr.
Moe's son, who had noticed Huffman's
horse standing near where the accident
occurred, and bad gone to see what
was tbe matter. Huston Huffman was
12 years of age, and was a bright, in
dustrious boy, though was very care
less. The coroner's jury returned a erdict
in compliance with tbe facts and found
that no one was to blame for the acci
dent.
Body of Beatroff Found.
The body found floating in the Col-
lumblaat Hood River yesterday was
not that of Frank Combs, of Arlington,
as at first reported, but was that of a
German named Restroff, who was
drowned in John Day river some three
weeks ago. The remains were identi
fied by F. A Snyder as those of Rest
roff when the inquest was held before
Justice Pratber, of Hood River. Tbe
body was found by Peter Cooper, who
runs a ferry between Hood River and
White Salmon, floating with some
drift wood, and was taken ashore by
bim. The body was clad in a blue
flannel shirt and blue overalls, a
leather cuff was found on tbe left wrist
and one dollar in silver was found in
one of the pockets, though no letters
or papers were found on the body that
would lead to the identification there
of. The body was 5 feet 7 inches in
height, light complexion, and appeared
to be that of a man 25 years of age.
As there were no marks of violence
found on the body, the verdict of the
jury was that tbe cause of death was
accidental drowning.

THE GOVERNOR CRITICIZED.
His Offer to Sacrifice the Oregon Boys is
In Bad Taste.
Editor Tos-Mocxtainbib.
I have seen in public print a state
ment made by our governor to the
effect tbat he would 6taod by the ad
ministration if it took every Oregon
boy now at the Philippine islands.
Now the people of Oregon are divid
ed into three classes. First, those
who are in favor of United States
aggression or expansion;second, those
opposed to a poltcy of subjection and
conquest, and third, those who are
neutral, or do not know. To those
who represent tbo first class the gov
ernor's position may seem excusable,
and by some impregnated with patriot
ism. But, to the second and third
classes it seems like sacrificing our
8cos upon the Altar of Mammon to tbe
''God of Greed." Those representing
tbe latter classes are probably not
educated up to that high tipe of civil
ization of our governor. To them the
theory of shooting Christianity and
civilization into the people is new.
We believe that tne man elected to
be the chief executi ve of our state is
tbe executive of all tbe people, and
not of a particular fraction or class.
Hence any words uttered by bim that
tends to Insinuate, belittle or in any
way cast a slur upon a part of his con
stitutancy, comes of the want of good
taste and nothing more.
If we reprimand our officers in high
rank for speaking .unfeelingly toward
tbe people of other natioos, how should
we deal with or how must we feel tow
ards our chief executive who for polit
ical gain will speak slurriogly of the
opinions and toward the fathers and
mothers who have allowed their sons
to ieavo their dredide to go and defend
toe booor of their state and country?

NK W SCALP BnDnTI LAW.
Manner of Procedure for Neeurlng; Boun

The new law passed by tbe last leg'
Islature for tbe payment of bounties
on wild animals changed somewhat,
and that it may be understood by those
interested, the following instructions
have been given out by the secretary
of state:
1st. The party owning the scalp
takes it to a notary public or justice of
the peace and makes affidavit as fol
lows:
State op Oregon,
County of
S3.
"I, being first duly sworn, depose and
say that I killed or caused to be kilted
the scalp or scalps of which
are presented, on the day of
1899, in county, state of Ore'
goo."
2d. Tbe notary public or justice of
t he peace then cuts off or removes part
of one ear, and gives the scalp owner
a scalp bounty certificate as follows:
Stjte op Oregon,
County of
SS.
Precinct Oregon .... 1899
"I hereby certify that has this
..day of 1S99, delivered to me in
tbe form prescribed by law the follow
ing scalps, to-wit at $2 each; total
it
Properly filling out and retaining
stub of same.
3d. Tbe notary public or justice of
the peace, then strings the scalp at
taching thereto a tag with the name
of the owner thereon.
4th. At the next meeting of the
county court the notary public or
justice of the peace delivers scalps so
tagged with statement for each claim
separate, statement or certificath may

5th. The original certificate issued
to owner must be presented to county
court. This may be done by notary
public or justice of the paace or sent
n by owners.
6th. The county court then com
pares tbe owner's claims with scalp
sent in by magistrate, and with the
magistrate's statement, and if found
to be just, causes tbe court seal to be
attached to said original certificate
and the same attested by the clerk.
7th. When tbe original certificate
has been attested by the county court,
a warrant' on the state treasurer will
be issued for the amount thereof, by
presenting the same to the secretary
of t-tate. Tbe party holding such
certificate may present same by mail,
in person or through tbe county clerk.
