DEMOCRATIC RALLIES.
The Democratic candidates are
now holding rallies all over the
county, i T. G. Hailey, their nom
inee for district attorney, and
A. D. Stillraan their candidate for
judge, accompanies them, also Sen-'
ator bmith, their candidate for
cotyress. Their meeting at lone
Wednesday was well attended, and
was presided over by Senator J.
W. Morrow in his usual gracefnl
way, which made everybody feel
at ease.
Judge Bartholomew, W. L. Sal
ing, J. W. Shipley, J. W. Becket
and other representative Republi
cans went down to attend the
meeting, and listened with respect
ful attention. Senator Smith spoke
for 1 hours, and one Republican
who heard him said it was a ca
lamity, anti-expansion speech.
Heppner is a good, live, liberal
minded town and so, many repub
licans swelled the audience at the
Democratic rally last night. Broad
minded Democrats are always
ready to do the same for a Re
publican rally. No meeting of
either party must be allowed to be
a failure. There was no band last
night, but there should have been.
The only music was made by the
jovial A. M, Bunce and Henry
Scherzinger, who had 2 dozen of
Bunco's big sheep-bells . bunched
on a piece of scantling and shook
them with a will. They brought
down the house, and the cheers
called for by Senator Morrow for
Bunce of Wyoming, were given
with a will.
Senator Smith spoke for 1J
hours, and Tom Hailey then had
him indicted for libel by the audi
ence. Mr. Stillman roade a judi
cial speech, and Mr. Stratton of
Ioue sketched out his own career.
Hon. Henry Blackman presided,
and made some neat little speeches
for the county candidates present.
WET DRIED- APPLES.
A popular drink in Paris is made
from dried apples, raisins and
water, with a httle sugar, which is
warranted not to intoxicate. It is
oalled "piquette.' In 1898 about
fifty million gallons were, con
sumed, and the consumption is on
the increase. The bourgeois pre
fer it to wine because it is cheaper.
Piquette drinkers generally make
the excuse that wine is adulterated
with harmful substances. How
ever this may be, the wine con
sumption has fallen off greatly.
At first cider began to take its
place, and in 1895 ten million gal
lons were consumed. Then there
were poor apple crops for two
years, and as a very high duty pre
vented the importation of Ameri
can cider, the scheme for using
dried apples, which are largely
imported from this country, was
invented.
Some stay away. All will not
go. l$ut the royal nabobs who de
cline invitations to the Paris expo
sition will write like this:
The Czar will say: "I regretoff
my absenceovitch from your show-
off, but am oompelledoff to decline
your invitationski you so kindly
sent because my new spring-steel
suitolF has not come from the
tailorvitch."
The King of Italy: "Shall notta
be able to be presents. Verra
sorra, but Longa Toma in South
Africa has unsettled my nervesa."
The Emperor of Germany: "Mein
grandmutter von bad insult re
ceived has and I stay der heim at,
to tink it over, don't it."

Htipotion, dyspepsia ami all tbe ills
whioh arise from weak digestion. This
medicine will keep the stomach in good

CONSECRATED.
The new Episcopal Church was
consecrated Sunday morning with
services appropriate to tbe occa
sion, snd the singing was very fine.
There was a large audience pres
ent, and the neat and tasteful work
manship of the new structure was
much admired. It is the handi
work of John Nelson, the carpen
ter, and most of the material was
furnished by Wills & Patterson, of
the Heppner Lumber Co.
ON TO NOME.
The hotels and streets of the sea
board cities of the Pacifio Coast are
at this time, alive with men from
all parts of the world waiting for
the sailing of the first ships bound
for the gold coast of Alaska. Both
wholesale and retail stores are busy
packing supplies for miners and
outfits of stocks for merchants,
All the shops and shipyards are
busy, such is the demand, to sup
ply tbe various forms of gold-saving
apparatus, dredging machines,
boats, and even steel steamships,
to meet the requirements of the
eituatiou. The different articles
of manufacture run from a rocker
to be worked by hand, at a cost of
$20, to a steam dredge, at $(i0,000
from a $20 dory to a $200,000
steamship.
OUOIIT TO ADVERTISE.
A. Ileppner duck which had faith
fully stuck to business during the
season and had laid several dozen
of large fawn colored eggs, com
plained tbe other day that she was
not appreciated!
"bee that hen over there t said
the duck: "she hasn't laid as
many eggs aa I have nor as big
ones, but she has books written
about her, and verses composed in
her honor, while nobody is saying a
thing about me.
"The trouble with you is," said
a rooster who was standing near,
"that you don't tell the public
what you have done or can do.
You lay an egg and woddle oil"
without saying a word, bnt that
sister of mine never lays one with
out letting everybody iu the neigh
borhood know it. If you want to
cnt any ice in any community,
why, you must advertise."
"Look out for that live wire
shouted the workman on the roof
of a Portland building. His as
sistant looked at him calmly, and
said: "Don't you worry. I've
been to see every French farce that
came to town. A little thing like
a live wire couldn't shock me."

Great efforts are made to sell alum baking
powders under the plea that they are so many
cents a pound cheaper than Royal. The admis
sion that they are cheaper made is an admis
sion that they are inferior. But alum pow
ders contain a corrosive poison and should
not be used in food, no matter how cheap.

LATEST WAR NEWS.
Fierce Flaliting.
A dispatch says: There was desper
ate lighting at Makeling Saturday, bat it
is thought to have gone in favor of tbe
garrison. The 15 rers attacked the town
soon the Kaflir position was in flames
..I 1... I I :
era! ; Boers captured Kaffir position and
brought guns to bear on town at near
range; garrison succeeded in surround
ing Lioers; that condition continues.
London, May 14. "The war is prac
tically over," says the Daily Chronicle's
(Croonstad correspondent, and, in less
definite terms, this is the view to ba
gathered from all the correspondents.
They picture the Boers as utterly de
moralized and disheaitened by Lord
Roberts' unexpected rapid advances,
and by his facile turning of tho carefully
prepared positions of the P.oers. There
was practically no fighting, and there
are no further details to give re
specting the occupation of Kroonstad.
The Boers Retreat.
Jt appears that the Boers at Kroon
stad had been reinforced by 3000 men
taut Friday, and that altogether 10,000,
with '20 guns, trekked from Kroonstad
on the approach of Lord Koberts. The
Boers made an ineffectual stand at
Boschrand, and had elaborate entrench
ments in front of Kroonstad, which of
fered great facilities for a rear-guard ac
tion. Their only anxiety, however, ap
pears to have been to get away safely
with all their guns and convoys, which
again they iiave successnily accom
plished. The few stores they were un
able to carry away, they burned. Pres
ident Steyn is represented as having
been frantic with rage, and as having
kicked and culled the bughers, after
vainly imploring them to continue the
fight.
The Times says:
"The signs point to military break
down on the part of the Boers, but after
experiences of the past, we cannot ac
cept the reports of domorali.atlon with
out reserve. The game of war must be
strictly played out to the end."
Drafting Men.
The Lourenco Marques correspondent
of the Times, telegraphing Sunday, says :
"ft is rumored that the Transvaal
Itaad , is secret session, has resolved to
order all residents, irrespective of
nationality, to assist in the defense of
the Republic, in accordance with the
terms of the amended military laws.
The Boers recognize that they are now
in the last extremity, and all sorts and
conditions of men are being comman
deered. The merchants here have pro
tested against the stoppage of a con
signment of clothing and corned beef,
of which the latter was purchased In
America. United States ('onsul Hollis,
whose sympathies are notorious, is said
to have remonstrated against what ha
called 'inteifcrence with American
trade.' "

A man who owns D00 acres of good
land and much other property wants to

cent. Anybody who wants to make
such a loan, send word to the Gazette
