According to friends, Mine George was jilted by on of hsr pro fession tu whom she bad been engaged for three years A letter wbioh the actress wrote a short time before the shooting stated that this was the oanse of the deed. It la said that Miss George formerly lived in Han Franolsoo. San Francisco, Aag, 3 Tbe Penn sylvania regiment landed from the transport 8enator today. The reoeption aooorded to the soldiers of the Keystone state was eimiliar tu that given to the Oregon, Nebraska and Utah boys who proceeded them. Chetknnb. Wyo., Aag 3 Northeast ern Colorado is the scene of a war be tween sheep and cattlemen. On Mon day last four horsemen, carefully dis guised botb. as to person and their horses, rode into ! some large flocks of sheep belonging to the Warren Live stock Company of Cheyenne, wbioh were being grazed along Two-Mile oreek, about 24 miles from Sterling. Tbe men were well armed,' and. shot and killed 150 sheep aud badly crippled 25 more. It is reported also1 that twosbaepberders were beaten, but this oannot be verified. Brownsville, Pa, July 20 Mrs. George Haekett, colored, aged 22, gave birth to seven babies today, four boys and three girls. Though small, all were well formed and lusty lunged. Three lived till noon, when, they euoenmbed to tbe awful beat of the badly ventilated room in which they lay with their mother, and later' in the afternoon three others died. Oue, a boy, remains and doctors say he bas a good ohaooe to live. Tbe father is a laborer, 25 years old. The mother has bad two children before, botb of whom are alive. New Yohk, Aug. 4 Tbe dispatch froni Austin, Texts, to the effect that Attorney General Smith bas not given consent to the forming of tbe cattle combination if it is constituted a trust, is orreot aa far as it goes, said George B. Loving of Fort Worth last nigbt. Mr. Loving is in New York, seeking to inter est capitalists in the establishment of an immense ranoh in Texas and New Mexioo on which 600.000 cattle oao be rounded np. "We do not intend to oreate trust," be said. "I bad some oorrespondenoe with Attorney General Smith and be endorses the scheme on tbe lines we intend to pursue. A cattle trust is impracticable, and, therefore, ooold not be successsful. Matters ars progressing slowly but satisfactory ily, and I have reoeived an option today 'rom one person alone of one vaoch of several thousand acres and 30,000 cattle in Mexico." Nkw Youk, Aug. 3 -There was paid out by the subtreaeury on Wednesday tbroujh tbe oleariog-bouse $100,000 on aooouot of Klondike gold deposited at 8an Franoisoi or Seattle, this sum going to swell tbe reserves of banks in this country. Tbe deposit of $1,000,000 of Australian gold at the Sid Francisco sabtreasury, against whiau sum a treas ury warrant was drawn in favor of tb New York subtreasuy, represents tbe payment of English debts. The San FraooifO subtreasury rooeive tbe gold from the banks of that city and practi cally transmits it to tbe local subtrees nry, which ceiits New York banks with the amounts severally due Ibem. TOO LATE FOR BENEFIT. Redaction of Wool is Greue Tariff Came After 189 Clip Wa All Mhipped. The reduotion In the tariff from Port land and common points to Boston and New York on grease wool in bales, by tbe Northern Pacifio Railway company, announced yesterday, comes too lata to be of any benefit to the wool people this season, rtotn all ins wool centers oi tbe ooast tbe 1S!K clip and what re mained of tbe IHllS dip have been moved, and tbe lo rate, therefore, can not apply until next year. If it remains effective for tbe coming season, tbeo tbe ten cents a hundred lower freight will be appreciated by tbe wool growers aod shippers, aod, tor tbe "territory wools" will ooostitnts qiite s saving. . Approximately, Oregon and Wasbing ingtou raise 20.000.000 pound of wjol ecb yetr. Nearly all of this goes Eant baled in tbe greaee, only comparatively a small portion beiog manufactured in blaokets and clothing, or sent East saonrsd. Tbe rednotioo, la round figures, therefore, would amount to 20, 0IJ0. This seems like a very small amount of money, but, since it will be added to the margin of profit reoeived by the north coat states on their annual crop of wool, it is somewhat liks "finding it in lbs rosd," "Ao inch on tbe end of , !

Et Oregooiso, ' 8'jlsl by Coimer & Wnrreo, x The following exoellent artiole from the Corvallis Times should be read and heeded by girls who are inoliaed to dis reagard the wishes of their parents. Tbe Times says: "Found dead in Cycle para. A velvt t band around her neok, ferns and bougbs ooveringber body, and life extinct. That was tbe fate of Clara Fitob, the murdered Portland girl , "Her parents oljeoted to the young man with whom she kept oompany, and sbe met him clandestinely. The advioe of mother and tbe oouoael of father she rrj'oted. Than tbe mother sbe had, and no other girl has, a better friend; than the father no other girl has a wiser counselor. They two, of all peo pie in tbe world, were most deeply in terested in the welfare and future of Clara Fitcb. In her babyhood, in her girlhood, in her young womanhood, they two watohed over and ored for and prayed for their daughter. Their oodp, their desire, their ambition was, as it always is, with pareuts, to mould aod train and prepare this child for a use ful, and happy future. Wakeful hours and sleepless nights in watching over her sink bed or in eolicitions thought for her future, were the daily round of duties for these pareols, now bereft and sorrow laden. For what else did they live but their ohildren? For what else do parents toil and plan and struggle but to provide for tbe happiness and maintaineuce of their children? The old bees half fill the bive with boney, and then swarm and leave boney and home to the young bees. The human family spends its life in prepearing to leave boney and , bive tu the children. With parental iustinot the Portland father and mother saw menace to their daughter's safety in tbe companionship sbe sought. She met ber lover clan destinely, and they found her dead in Cycle park. "Between mother and daughter there should always be deepest terms of in timnoy. It the daughter bas hopes or desires or loves, let her tell them to ber mother. B-tween the tw there should be constant companionship, unreetrioted confidence. Mother should be to daughter at once, friend, oonfldant, guide. The girl must confide in some one; if tot mother, then girl friend or male companion It to mother sbe is safe. Maternal love and instinct will guide her "into the true patb. 'If to male companion, as Clara Fitoh did. sbe may be found dead in Cyole park." Protect Oar Food. The dootors inform as that alum is a poison, and that alum baking powders should be avoided beoause tbey make the food unwholesome. Prominent bygienists, wbo have given lbs matter most study, regard tbese powders as an evil that should be suppressed by state notion. In Minnesota and Wisconsin alum powders are not permitted to be sold unless tbey are branded to warn consumers of their true character, while in the District of Columbia tbe authori ties have under tbe direction of congress, adopted regulations to prohibit the nse of alum in bread altogether. Are not tbe people of other states, as well as those of Minnesota and Wiscon sin, entitled to warning of a danger wbiob is apparently menacing tbem at close hand, and is tot tbe whole country entitled to absolute protection, as tbe people of tbe District of Columbia are protected, by legislation which is en tirely prohibitive f Until we can have protection in the form of a statute, how can our state boards of health, sUte analysts or food commissioners better serve tbe publio than by publishing in the newspapers from time to time tbe names of the bak ing powders which tbey find to be made from alum? Meantime, it will aid the housewife in designating tbe atom powders to remem ber that all powder sold at twenty-five cents or less per ponnd are of this dan gerons class. Pnre cream of tartar powders ars usually sold at from from forty-five to fifty cents a ponnd. A Frogrriiitlve Railroad. Tbe Kio Grande Western railway, otherwise known as "Tbe Great Halt Lake Route," is aod bas been, since the opening of the "Ogdeo gateway," the popolar trans continental route between the Pacific northwest and tbe East. To add to it popularity, arrangements bave been made to make its train service and equipment superior to any of its competitor. Already the running time of its several express trains bas been out down so that passengers from Portland reaob Chicago in less than four days, and New York io less tbao five days. cnecuve May 1st, a perrvot dining oar service will be established. This will make the trip via Salt Lake City tbe ideal one. To further add to tbe com fort of its patrons, handsome exoorsion loorist cart are being built for tbe run between Portland and Chicago. With the dining car service established and the new tourist car running, there will be little to he added to make a perfect train.

How We Appear In tbe Eyes or the East ern Editors. Evening Telegram. Oregooians are peonliar. So thinks tbe editor of tbe Urbana Citizen and Gazette, of Ohio, wbioh says : "Some of the peculiar matters here are things the people eat and drink. Tbey bave baked salmon, mountain lamb, with miut, highly onltivated frogs, spioed crawfish, which are very palita ble, but wbioh look horrid; oyster tod dies, spring ohicken, olams from tbe soft Paoiflc seas, "etc, and in fruits, plnms, peaches, cherries, prunes, straw berries and raspberries, all very flue and some of tbem superior to our Ohio pro ducts, especially the cherries. In drinks they use native wines, white and red, a peouliar beverage wbiob is splendid b-e-e r, orange cider, another wbioh tbey call Maubattan roostertail, and Bull Run water. Mrs. 3. says that tbe Bull Run water is the only article that equals tbe splendid crystal of Urbana, and also tbe only one fit to drink." He ooutinuee: "Tbe phenomenal peculiarity of these people of the Northwest, is their amazing hospitality. We know little of it in tbe East. When you realize that tbese peo ple came more than 500 miles to meet us, that tbey chartered tbe hotels to enter tain us, that this great Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company has not only fur nished us free transportation over their road, but tjont out their engines, engin eers, passenger agents and oonmiissariat to meet us to ask us to take tbese cour tesies and to carry us free of all charges ver tbe Columbia valley, you will begin to understand something of tbe nature of our weloome to Oregon. "We thongbt that Ohio was 'the whole thing,' and we bear good words for tbe grand Buokeye state from all quarters, but it really does lack tbe snowcapped mountains and tbe mngnifioeut flowers and frnits and the heavy drapery of foliage snd tbe equable temperature of this wonderful land. As tbe colored brother remarked, I 'am powerfully taken with Oregon' aod 'the slope.' Judge W. D. James, formerly 'of Pike oounty,' but now of Cincinnati, once ourtly remarked when I was desaanting on Portland and the slope: 'D it, there isn't any slope, I bave been there and know.' "Cattle, wheat, hay, horses, oata, swine, lumber, gold dust, apples, hops and cheese are the chief produots, all going up io tbe value beyond a hundred tbous and dollars of production last year. "Joaquin Miller, tbe distinguished poet of the Sierras, formerly lived in Eugene, and for a time edited tbe Eugene City Review. "We venture to say that nowhere on earth do roses grow in snob perfection as in Oregon. The olimate seems to be just right. Tbe ladies of the delegation bave simply gone wild over them. Every Eastern lady you see bas an armful of roses." The Kendallville Htuudard, Indiana, u its iutrodootion says: "We bave left Portland after three days spent there most delightfully. We reached Portland on tbe evening of July 4, aod from the time of our arrival until the time of our departure we enj iyed tbe unbounded hospitality of the Oregooians. Portland certainly cannot be surpassed for the kindliness, generosity and socia bility of its people Two other character istics of Portland are notioeable the beauty of the women and tbe beauty of the roses. A better dressed class of peo ple would be bard to find, while the roses are of such profoHion, beauty aud variety we could not cease to admire them." The Mexioo Weekly Ledger, of Mis souri, bas several columns of interesting notes about Oregon. Aside from other things, tbe Daily Eo- qnirer, of Carlinville, III , found Tbe Dalles an interesting place. It says: "Tbe first oity of importance we reached in the Columbia valley was Tbe Dalles, wbiob looked stately with its magnificent trees, large briok blocks, mammoth warehouses, beautiful residences aod well kept lawns. We were surprised to learn that The Dalles, where Generals Grant and Hheridan learned the rndi meuts of warfare, is oue of tbe obief commercial oities of the Northwest, Tbe surrounding oonotry is noted tor its magnificent fruit lands, broad plateaus with tbeir waving grain and a great ex pause of grazing country that produces meat to feed an empire aud wool to clothe a natiou. "Tbe Dalles is the bead of navigation on the Middle Columbia; owns its own waterworks at a cost of $Io0,(XK), has tbe best water, being brought from tbe foot bills of Mount Hood; tbe center ot the best fruit belt on the ooasl; tbe greatest original shipping point io the United Htttte. It ships annually 2500 tons of canned ssltnoi, S75,Oro worth of fresh fif.li, 000,000 bnsbels of wheat, 5000 head of cattle, 100,000 sheep, 6,0X1,000 ponods of wool. Tbe county sends foO.OUU worth of strawberries to tbe Eastern market snd ships $50,000 worth of other fruits.." "Returning borne almost too tired to think, the writer oannot do the trip jus tice, with its superabundance of items of interest," says the Gazette and Reporter ofOdell, III. "Bnt, then, it wonld take all the adjectives in ths dictionary, all the colors of the paint poU and all the promiscuous prevaricators ot tbe Paoiflc coast to properly color the delightful details of tbe journey. "Home mention of tbs introductory portion of the trip was made lo the Ga zette and Reporter of July 7. In this article tbe writer will only attempt to relate the soenes ant experiences In Oregon" etc., et. LIVESTOCK NOTES. Prices of First Range Lambs and Cattle Compared With Last Year. Prices reoeived in Chicago this year for tbe first range cattle and lambs will indicate to some extent tbe relative strength of this yeu'a ratrkt-;t compared with that of last year. There is a differ ence in favor ot this year, wtb tbe indi cations as to tbs future that tbe market will strengthen, or at least hold its own. That there was a shortage io lambs all over tbe western range states cannot for a moment be denied, tbe severe winter and tbe harsh spring causing serious loss in all quarters. It this shortage works its legitimate effect then tbe mar ket will ba tbeieby strengthened, and tbe higher prices will io a measure com pensate the grower for his loss ot lambs, ft is thus stated by well known author ity on liyestook matters : From all over the range country oome reports ot a poor lambing season. In Montana and Wyoming the per oentage -of lambs to ewes runs from 50 to 75 in most distrlots, as against 80 and 95 per cent last year. In Texas the per cent nt lambs runs from 60 down as low as 30. In other range states the Iamb crop is far below the last year's f rates. All this means an aggregate shortage of several millions of Iambi in tbe great lamb producing districts of the west. How tar this may effeot tbe prioa ot feeding lambs oannot now be closely forecasted, but tbe effeot will be more or less serious and far reaching, influencing tbe value of older and weightier muttons as well. Comparative statements ot tbe prices for first consignments ot range lambs and oattle at Chicago are as follows: Tbe first range lambs ot tbe season about 2500 from Utah and Idaho, were sold at prioes ranging from $6 25 to $6 55 mostly at $6.25 to $6.50. They ranged in weight from 611 to 68 pounds, a little heavier than the first arrivals last year, which oame to hand August 21 selling at $0. Oa August 8, 1898, 1252 bead of 61-pound Idaho lambs sold at 6 25 and before tbe middle of August several lots brought $6.35 and $6 50. Tbe first range oattle ot tho season reaching Cbioago, consisting of eight cars ot Montana cows, of tbe T. Murphy brand, shipped by C. J- Ily ah am. Of these, 121 head averaged 1008 pounds and brought $1, with 43 cows, 1814 pounds, at 8350 Last yer tbe first cattle from tbe range arrived at Chicago August 1, and consisted ot about 1500 head, mostly northern-ranged Texans. Tbe steers sold at a range of $4 30 to $4.60, with oows and belters at $4 and $4 15. East Oregonian. OREGON INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION, 0 Products ot the Northwest Will all lie Ex hibited at the Fair This Fall. People who attended tbe exposition at Portland last autumn were pleased and satisfied with tbe sights tbey saw, and tbe instruction and amusement afforded. And they will be pleased to learn that tbe exposition to be held this season will aim to exoel all its predecessors. It will begin Heptember 28 and end Ooto ber 28, and its success is already assured; enterprising men of affairs are at its bead, and tbe various committees are working in a way that guarantees tbe best exposition to be held in the North west. The business men of Portland bave already subscribed a guarantee fund ot $12,000 to provide fur tbe heavy ex penses incident to inaugurating suob an exposition, and Ibis is sure indication tbnt nothiog will be left undone to make the fair a credit to tbe entire Northwest. Tbe produots ot tbe farm, forest, mine, stream and factory are all going to be on exhibition at tbe exposition, wbiob will make it an objeet-leseon instructive and invaluable to all. Tbe Exposition management will take to Portland free of obarge all exhibits; shipping tags and full particulars will be sent if you will drop a line to "Heoretary Industrial Ex position, Portland, Ore."
