New Yeae's day the railroad

Until then we will live in anxious

Judge T. U. Beaseley, of Fay
etteviile, Ga., is a representative
intelligent Southerner. He is now
visiting Washington, and, among
other interesting things, said:
"President McKinley has made
himself so solid in the South,
especially in Georgia and Alabama,
that in the event of his renomina
tion in 1900 he will get thousands
of democratic votes in those states.
Ilia broad-gauged sentiments and
generosity have captured our peo
ple." Senatob Thukston, of Nebras
ka, is one of the most pronounced
expansionists in congress. He
said, speaking of the various ob
jections to our taking the Philip
pines: "I am satisfied to trust
their future to the good sense of
the American people. If they
become a but den rather than a
blessing, the same patriotio spirit
which demanded their surrender
by Spain would then set them up
in independence or otherwise dis
pose of them, without sacrificing
the liberties of other peoples and
without doing discredit to the
American name.
Chairman IlErBURN, of the
house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce, anticipating
early action on the Nicaragua
canal bill, has announced that the
committee will grant hearings
either for or against the Nicaragua
oanal. The agents of the Panama
Canal Company, now in Washing
ton, are prepared, it is believed,
to spend n lot of money to defeat
or prevent Nicaragua canal legis
lation, but the friends of the canal
are also in Washington in force,
including a delegation from the
chamber of commerce of Shu
Francisco, and they' will work as
thy have never worked before,
because they believe success is
in sight.

IN THE T0IL8.
A Man With a Bad Record Captured by
Countable Gray.
The Utter part of last week a tall, illm follow,
wearing a cap, pulled down over a pair of small
Ifray eyes, appeared on our streets, riding a flue
bay home with a bald face, and from then until
Monday noon made pretty thorough canvas
of the town trying to dispose of hia rig at a very
unreasonable price, which at once excited the
suspicion of those approached. In the mean
time Marshal Thornton received telephone com
munication from Waitsburg, Walla Walla, Day
ton, Wash., and Lewlston, Idaho, describing the
man and urging his arrest as a horse thief, and
a thoroughly bad man. Owing to technicalities.
delay in his arrest gave the fellow a change to
ride his horse out of town, going In the dlrec.
lion of Butter creek. Matters adjusted, Consta
ble Oray, armed with a warrant, etc , took his
trail that afternoon and at the end of an 80 mile
ride caught his man the next morning. The
evening before he had sold his rig to Mr. Wat.
tenbergor, whom the constable had seen in the
meantime, and, anxious for the return of his
money, ho continued with Mr, Gray until they
fouud their man, who readily returned the
money, taking back his horse, which he rode
back to town.
Whllo hore the fellow was thoroughly reck
less, and Sunday night, while drunk, preclpl.
tated a row which resulted disastrously to him!
Arriving here with some money, he purchased
a watch, chain and charm for fid, and later in
the day borrowed $10 nn the same, never re
turning to roclaim It. He also secured his
horse from the livery stablo by pretending to
exercise It, when he departed without settling.
He Is now In the county Jail and will be taken
back to Washington tomorrow by an officer who
will come In on the morning's train. He gave
the name of Frank Wilson, while the warrant
lor arrest calls for Bub Roberts. He takes his
arrest easy, denying everything.
Since the above was set Deputy-HhertlT Alli
son has arrived and identified the clmlnal as a
very desperate man, and tomorrow morning
officers will arrive from both Walla Walla and
Dayton for possession of the much-wanted
man, The Lewlston officer "first come will be
first served."
THE PUBLIC CHKISTMES TKEE.
The Opera Hoase Crowded and Everybody
Happy.
The tffortg of tbe ladies, aided by con
tributions from tbe business men, were
crowned witb glory, as tbe opera bouse
was completely jammed on Christinas
eve. Everybody seemed to enter into
the spirit of tbe occasion. Tbe three
trees were well set and tastily decorated,
bat for oonvenieooe tbe majority of tbe
presents were distributed from tables.
Rev. Shelley addressed the assemblage
witb a few appropriate remarks. Mrs.
H. Bartholomew and Miss Julia Hart
played a lively duet, acd Mise Welch
favored tbe listeners with a vocal sola
Messrs. George Conser and Herb Bar
tholomew assumed their "peroh" and tbe
fun began. The tiue-baired sooiety
gents were (he seivants of the "kids"
and Santa Chus, aud the way they were
kept jumping shout delivering Christmas
gifts was a ouution. Every ear in tbe
assemblage prioked op in aoxious ex
pectation, and on,y those without friends
were overlooked. Besides the hundreds
f pleBeing little Christmas things, many
costly and beautiful presents fell to tbe
lot of loved ones. Tbe two bours con
sumed in tbe distribution were, witb tbe
little ones, the happiest of tbe year, and
when next Christmas comes Old Santa
Clause will extend an invitation to the
same little people to gather at tbe same
place and they will be there. Messrs.
Conser and Bartholomew, tbe two oriers,
it is claimed, were voiceless at tbe con
clusion of tbeir task, but we are told
confidentially tbat George, as he wis
homeward bound, was singing with glee
that little ditty, so familiar to tbe chil
dren "This Is the day they give babies
away."
LEXINGTON'S CELEBRATION.
A ChlHtnms Eve spent in the Tuiving Little
Berg.
Mr. Charles Barnett reports a delightful
Christmas eve at Lexington. Penland's hall
was tastily arranged and the tree furnished for
the occasion loaded down with treasures for
the little ones. The festivities were Introduced
with a pleasing musical and literary program,
after which came thegivingout of the gener
ous supply of toys, candies, nuts and oranges.
Prof. Stanard and estimable wife were among
the prime movers In the happy event and were
untiring in their elforts to make it a success for
the children.
Not only were the children attending the tree
remembered, but the little ones t home were
not forgotten, as packages were sent to them.
Many laughable incloents contributed to the
good cheer, chief of which was the presentation
of a pipe, match and tobacco to Dave Porter, a
bachelor's solace, provoking a roar of laughter
above the din of which arose Dave's Inimitable
applause. John McMillan was the recipient of
a cup and saucer of suitable proportions, with a
package of his favorite braud of coffee.
The annual bachelors' banquet, held at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Leach, at Lexing
ton, was a notable event of the holiday season.
Mrs. Leach's commiseration for their unhappy
lot prompts her efforts to contribute a bit of
sunshine into their cheerless lives and furnishes
them with a spread that prompts resolutions
for future reformation.
A very enjoyable hop was given by Mr. and
Mrs. W. C. Metier, in their spacious parlors, to
the young folks of Lexington, Monday night,
which was thoroughly enjoyed.
A dance will be given in Penlaud's hall to
morrow (Friday) night.
On Saturday evening, January 7th, an open
Installation of Lexington Assembly No, 8H,
United Artisans, will be held, and invitations
are being distributed to friends by members,

YOUTIHE'S
IONE CORRESPONDENCE.
Ione, Oregon, Dec 27, 1808.
Editor Hefpkir Gazette, Heppner Oregon.
Dear Sir: Complying with your request, 1
write these few lines that lh) world may know
that we, the people of Ione, still live, move aud
have our being.
We landed in this beautiful and promising
little city at 10:30 o'clock on last Friday night
aud find that a great change has, taken place in
the appearance of this cltv since our last visit,
only a few weeks ago, and had it not been for
the old landmarks and tbe few familiar faces
among the many strange ones we could hardly
have been persuaded that our train conductor
had not put us off at the wrong place. A great
many new buildings have been erected arising
as by magic from the ground. Some of them,
I am told, are of Immense proportions, covering
several "Alters."
On Xmas eve the people of lone gathered
themselves together la the opera house. They
were not so "numerous as the sands of the sea
shore," but it was a great gathering and they
made merry. Two trees were beautifully dec
orated and were well loaded with valuable
presents. A well prepared program was very
creditably rendered before the distribution oithe
presents. Hauia Claus appeared on the scene
with his large knapsack well hlled with candy
aud nuta for the small children. The writer
was coldly passed by.
On Christmas morning Ione turned out what
was first thought to be a '-freak" a green man.
Now, some may think that this is one of the
most common things, but this man was painted,
as waa learned later. He had been Indulging
too freely the night before in the spirits fer
ment!, and while sleeping in a chair some mis
chievous body took the pains to paint this old
man's hands, face and hair with a bright green
paint, aud of a kind that did not yield to soap
and water. He found great difficulty in remov
ing it. By advice he took an oil bafh, then vig
orously applied soap aud water with success,
The frlendB of the painted party have a "warm"
color in Btore for the paiutcrs, when they are
located.
The light-footed celebrated the holiday last
night with a grand ball at the opera house.
Qood music was furnished by local musicians,
good order was kept by the good floor managers,
a good lunch was prepared by the good ladies
of the city and a general good time Was had by
all who attended.
Ione has two newspapers, the Post and the
Herald. It seems that the former has met with
a little opposition, but tbe Iouites are becoming
reconciled and are offering its manager more
encouragement since they see he has come to
stay and is acting the geutleman, that he is.
He has been falsely accused of some unreason
able things and they are beginning to see their
mistake and are showing a disposition to sup
port his paper.
Ione, we think,, will soon be incorporated.
The promoters of the Incorporation are meeting
with some opposition, but it is hoped that their
opposers will soon become more enlightened ou
the subject aud withdraw their objections.
Birds are singing, sheepbells ringing,
All the signs of spring are here.
We are seeming to be dreaming,
Aud forget the time of year.
Yours truly,
"Domisol."
Yellow Jaundice Cured.

THE NEW LE ROI COMPANY.
The Slock Issued Was Over-Subscribed in
London.
Spokesman Review.
Copies of the prospectus of the new lie Bol
company lately floated in London by the British
America Corporation have been received In
Toronto, and the World of that city says that
the entire issue of stock was oversubscribed,
and the shares ore now quoted in London at a
premium of about 12 per cent. The World Is
just in receipt of a copy of the now company's
prospectus, which sets out some interesting
statements.
In the first place Lord DuIIerin, Lord Loch,
Whlttaker Wright and H. H. Andrew, of
Sheffield, are put down as the chief directors.
The 0 shares were offered for subscription on
the following basis: 1 per share on applica
tion, 2 per share on allotment and 2 per share
one mouth after allotment.
Several expert's reports are quoted to show
that the ore bodies maintain there average
value aud at the same time increase in width
as greater depths are attained. Between the
700 and 800 foot level the ore body is 40 feet
wide, and the ore runs (!, or $30, to the ton.
Mr. Rathbone, one expert, says that on tbe
basis of the present daily output the mine will
yseld annually 120,000 tons of ore. He estimate
the entire cost of msning, freight and treatment
at 3, or 15, per ton, and shows that the Le Rol
Is producing a net profit of 360,000, or 11,800,000,
per year. In other words, the property, accord
ing to the prospectus, will turn out a net profit
of 25 ner cent per annum on the total capital
ization. The London (England) Mining Journal, com
menting on the flotation, notes that the British
public has oversubscribed the undertaking and,
admits that the record of the old company is
excellent, but takes exetlon to the small
amount of capital (viz., 50,000) that Is set aside
for a working reserve.
