Tbe pursuing party at Sullivan's sheep camp, where tbe robbers ate breakfast and toek paok-borse and bed, were 12 hours be bind. Tbe robbers are traveling in very broken oountry with numerous waehouta and s model plaoe to hide. At Sullivan's oamp only two robbers put in an appearrnoe. Nbw Richmond, Wis., Jane 14 One hundred and seventy five killed and 400 wounded is the estimate of casualties in last night's storm. This is based on in formation received by General Manager 3cott,of tbe Omaha railroad. The relief train from St. Paul reached New Rich mond early today. Besides supplies of every kind, the train brought 20 nurses and 12 doctors. Tbe storm struck tbe Omaha road at B jardmao, and followed tbe track to New Ricbmaod.

Morning Oregonlan. London, June 19 The St. James' Gazette today claims to have reoeived from an absolute reliable souroe at Pretoria, capital ot tbe Transval, the plan of campaign which will be followed by General Joubert, cemmander-in chief of tbe Boers, in tbe event ot war between the Transval and Great Britlan. General Joubert's force, it seems, will ooosist ot 20,000 men, armed with Manser rifles, in addtion to 46 qniok- firing guns and 1000 artillerymen, most of them drawn from tbe German and Dutch armies. With these troops and help expected from tbe Orange Free State, be will marob on Eimberly, tbe diamond-mining oenter in West Griqaa land, wbiob forms tbe 70 divisions of the dupe Colony. Kimberly is about 100 miles northwest ot Bloemfootein. In bis maroh on Kimberley, Joulbert will use the railroad as far es available, expeots to oaptore tbe town witb slight loss, and blow np the De Beers diamond mine Simultaneously, it is added, the railroad from Cape Town lo Bulawaoe will be destroyed by Bier sympathizers, and agents in Gape Colony will destroy tbe Port Elizabeth-Pretoria line south of Bloemfontein, to prevent British troops trom using it. Finally, immediately after Kimberley is oaptured, General Joubert will ad vaoce on Cdpe Town, tbe oapital ot Cape Colony, through tbe western provinces, where the Dutch predominate, and are expeoted to join tbe Boers. Joubert oal oulates he will be master of Cape Town fortnight after tbe declaration ot war, and that be will then be able to diotate terms of peace. A W18K SUGGESTION. Chairman Hawkins Htrtkes a Very Popular Cbord. Portland Dispatch. Chairman Hawkins, at tbe weekly meeting of tbe Fourth of July and National Editorial Association oommil- tee, Monday evening, wisely suggested Ibe propriety ot adj jorning the Fourth of Jaly celebration until the soldier boys get borne trom Manila, and to devote all the city's energies to the entertainment ot our distinguished guests. Many business men favor Chairman Hawkins' proposition. It will be divid ing foroes to attempt two big undertak ings simultaneously. Tbe editorial visit means muob to PortUnd and Oregon. No stone should be left unturned that might add to tbe pleasure and entertain ment ot tbe visitors. And, tben, when our heroes oome borne we must give them s royal reosption. Tben will be tbe time for pyrotechnics and other heaven scarifying features. We heartily endorse Chairman Hawkins' splendid suggestion sod hope that it may oarry. Tbe press will ore bnt little for fireworks and such. Tbey would a thousand times prefer to see tbe matobless beauty ot our mountains, rivers aud intervals. Those features tbat are so comoa n to Oregooisns that they soaree give Ibem a thought will be a source ot wonderment and inspiration to tbe visitors. Fire craokers tbey have at borne in plenty, but Mount Hood, tbe Casotdes, Toe Dulles, Astoria, Salem, Oregod City sol bunlredi of otber poiots of interest not less important will prove intensely interesting to them. Hrradlally Nervous. Gents: I was dreadfully nervoo. and for relief txk your Carl's Clover Root Tea. It quieted my nerves and strength ened my whole nervous eye'etn. I was troubled with ooiislipalioo, kidney and bowel trnnble. Your Tea sown cleansed my system so thoroughly tbat I rapidly regained henlth and strenuth. Mrs. 8. A Hweet, Hartford, Ooon. 8old by Copser $ Wwroo, 4 - ' T PIONEERS IN FORCE. The Celebration is More Largely Attended Than Any Previously Held. Evening Telegram Oregon Pioneers are having things all their own way in Portland today. Over 600 have registered, many more than ever met here at onoe before. More attention is being lavished upon them than ever before. This is due to the ef forts of the Native Sons and Native Daughters, wbo have worked bard to give Oregon's fathers and mothers a royal good time. Tbey have suooeeded admirably, if the satisfied air of tbe great crowd which thronged tbe taber nacle all forenoon oan be taken as any criterion. There ooffee, steaming hot, and refreshments were served, while tbe First Regiment band discoursed music. Finely arranged deoorations were scat tered about in artistio profusion. Noth ing was left incomplete But tbe moBt interesting picture of all was to observe the mingling ef several generations ot Oregon s obildren. Tbe beaming faces of the young misses were brought in strong relief in comparison witb the rugged, furrowed countenances ot men wbo had helped blaze tbe trail of civili zation throusb tbe traoklees waste. There mingled among tbe crowd buxom matrons wbo bad clasped babeB to tbeir breasts while tbeir husbands kept savage Indians at bay. In short, it the history of eaoh one of the pioneers in the oity today were written it would fill a big book with thrilling tales. Tbe oommittees in charge at the taber- naole today were oomposed as follows: General committee on arrangements Miss Tillie E Oorneilos, Mrs. D. Steel, Mrs. J. Waddle, Miss Berry and Miss Burke. Refreshments Mrs. Edyth Weather red, Mrs. Austin, Mrs. Phillips. Tables Mrs. J. Goldsmith, Mrs. Bird- sail, Mrs. Lawler, Mrs. Oomstock, Miss Van Horn, Miss Nellie Tozier and Miss Graoie Watkins. It was an imposing spectacle to see tbe 600 or more pioneers when tbey formed for the parade in front ot the Portland hotel shortly after 1 o'olook. By the time tbey were ready the Native Sons had formed at Twelfth and Morri son streets and, beaded by tbe IMrst Regiment band, marched down Morrison and joined the pioneers as a guard of honor. The fine banner presented by tbe Native Daughters last evening was oonspioious. The pioneers marohed under tbe direotion ot O. T. Belcher, H. H. Bird, W. H. Warren, Frank O Baker, George L. Story, Colonel J, MoCraken and Lee Launblin. After esoorting the pioneers to tbs Armory the Native Sons returned to tbe tabernacle. At tbe Armory tbe programme rend ered was as follows: Music, band; culling to order, B. Eillin, 1845, president; prayer, Rev. A. J. Hunsaker, 1847, chaplain; appoint ment ot oommittee on resolutions by tbe president; annual address, J. A. Way mire, 1845, now of San Francisoo; song, 'Columbia"; occasional address, O, E. Wolverlon, 1853;musio, "Amerioa," as sembly ; beuediction, chaplain. At tbe olose ot the exeroises tbe pio oneers formed in procession in order of the years of arrival in Oregon, and, marobed to music by tbe band in twos to tbs banquet room, where the Pioneers' Ladies' Anxiliary served them a banquet fit for princes. After tbe banquet bad been disenssed the remainder of the afternoon was de voted to eu informal union. This evening a brief business meeting will be held, after whicb tbe following programme will be rendered: Song, veteran quartet; several testi monies, five minutes each; poem by J. Wbioomb Riley, by Miss Catherine La Barre; song, young men's quartet; addi tional testimonies: song. "Amerioa," led by veteran quartet. ON TUB HAME TRACK.

Tbe speoial train bearing tbe Red Men's excursion borne from Clatsop beach collided with Northern Paclfio freight train No. 54, a mile below Linn ton, at 8:55 last evening. One man was killed and six people were injured, two of whom were women. All of tbe in jured, save tbe engineer and brakeman, were on tbe baggage-oar attaohed to tbe excorsioo train. As near as oould be learned, tbe accident was tbs result of a misunderstanding of orders on tbe part ot the train crew of tbe freight. List of killed was: D. P.

McAHster Writes His Parents From the Seat of War. Mr. W. B. MoAlister kindly furnishes the Grzette with the following letter re oeived from bis son : Auoei, Provinoe ot Buiucan, (56 miles northeast of Manila) May 1, 1899. Dhab Folks at Home: It has been some time since I have bad a chance to write you a tew lines. I am well and doing well, although the 18 days we have been on this trip has been anything but pleasant. During tbe last 10 days we have had Tour fights, and no one hurt seriously, yet. It is mostly a running fight and it is bard to get at them. Well, it has been a year sinoe we started to this country, and our ohanoes are good for another year. Although we do not like it the best in the world, we have to stay just the same. This oountry resembles many parts of Oregon rolling enough to be well drained. Water is good here, and many springs are found. Tbe natives live all through tbe ooun try, and when a soldier is seen they run for the hills. We have taken several towns and haye some more yet to take. The houses in this part of the oountry in many plaoes are regular forta, and are made ot round boulders, cemented together. They are relics ot medevial times but of no nee these days. If one understood tbe history ot this country, it would, no doubt, prove Interesting. You have heard the G. A. R. men tell of what they went through. It seems our experience is different, as one day we make a oamp; that night we are at tacked and are up all night, without sleep. Tbe next day we build trenches and every man has to work; at night our out posts are atlaoked and cut off, and the oamp is up all night again; the next day huge granite blooks are brought for a stronger fort, and it Is a good one, too. At the end of four days all are so nervous that we oannot sleep. When sent on a detail, we do not expeot to get baok. Next a twenty mile marob, wading a stream up to our waists four or five times in a hot tropical olimate, yet we get through it somehow. Rations are short, and we eat anything we oan get. We have at times ohiokens, water melons , sweet potatoes, corn, etc, so we manage to get along, somehow. I have written all I oan think of. Tbe mail goes baok to Malolos about noon, then we move again, where, I do not know. I bnve a new rifle, now a Krug and it's a dandy. I fired 52 shots in an hour the otber day, and its a good one. Well, I will olose. Your eon, H. L. MoAlibtkk. WEATHER AND CROP BULLETIN. Tbe following olimate and orop ser vice, furnished by B. S. Pague, seotion director ot Oregon's Weather Bureau, is for the week ending June 19th: Weather. Normal temperature pre vailed during Ibe last week. The mean temperature averaged 65 degrees, which is 8 degrees higher than tor tbe preoeed ing week and one higher than for tbs corresponding week of laet year. Tbs maximum temperatures ranged from 74 to 00 degrees in tbe valley and from 50 to 90 degrees over tbe plateau; tbe mini mum ranged from 48 to 60 degrees in lbs former, and from 88 to 52 degrees in tbs latter. Friday and Saturday were lbs warmest days ot the week. A few show ers fell Monday afternoon aod night; sinoe tben fair wealber, with almost a oloudless sky, has prevailed. Crops. Tbe warm weather bas caused all vegetation to make a rapid growth. Fall-sown wheat is in first-class condi tion and is beading in all sections. Spring-sown wheat is muob better end more promising than usual. A large srop will be yielded if there are no hot northeast winds. Barley, rye and oats are fully as good as wheat. Haying has oommeoaed and reports indioate tbat it will be a heavy orop. Grass is making good growth on the ranges and slock is reported to be in good oondition. Shear ing is nearly oompleled. A large portion of the wool clip is already at tbe ware houses awaiting shipment. Most ot tbs bands of stook bare been moved to tbs summer ranges in the mountains. Tbe warm weather oaosed strawberries to ripen rapidly. Hood River shipped five oarloads on Friday last. The straw berry crop is very good. Tbs fruit pro speots are no belter than have been heretofore reported. Feaobes ars about an average orop in lbs Columbia and Snake river valleys. Apple trees are being sprayed and a fair orop Is ex peoted. Tbs cherry orop will be good ; cherries ars rips in tbe valley and ars being shipped to market. Prunes have ceased dropping; the orop is alrsady greately reduced, but it will not be a failure. Sugar beets In tbe Grands Ronde valley are making rapid growth and are very promising. Oooaslool raiua and the absence of hot winds will make good orops over Eastern Oregon. Buttled fair westher conditions have not set in ; beooe, oooaeional rains over Oregon are yet probable. Tbe condi tions Ibis morning are favorable for cooler wealber until Friday, when warmer weather is again probable. A few showers may prevail Tuesday over Northwestern Oregon. The upper rivers are rising rapidly and it Is poesibls that tbe highest water ot tbe year in tbe Columbia and tribu tary rivers will ooour within Ibe next five days.
