CHICAGO, July 28.-Frank Chapek
and Frank Chelbourn, who with F.
Kronck and Rudolph Servis were ar
rested charged with conspiracy to as
sassinate Greunnell, Gary and Bon
field, have disappeared and it is sup
posed have jumped their bonds. The
case against Chapek, Chelbourn and
Kronk had been, continued by Judge
Alleyn until to-day. The two first
named gave bonds in five thousand
dollars each for their appearance. but
Kronk, being unable to procure bail,
was locked up in the county Jail.
Defendants did not put in an appear
ance at court this morning, though
inspector Bonfeld was on hand to
attend to his end of the case. Dep
uty sheriff Burk was ready in the
court room with warrants for arrest
on an indictment returned by the
grand jury, ofthe prisoners as soon
as they should appear. It was the
intention of the inspector to, dismiss
the cases against them the moment
they were safe in the deputy's hands.
When every case on the docket had
been disposed and still Chapek and
Chelbournwere not in court, inspector
Bonfeld looked a. trifle uneasy.
After some delay the names of the
defendants were called. On their
nonappearance an attorney rushed

He was granted one hour to produce
them. Kapout returned at the end
of the appointed time, but without
them. The bondsmen are Bohemian

dreds of people perished miserably
in binding storm Of snow and ice.
Owing to the intense heat of two
weeks previous, the people were un-
prepared for the worst storm ever
experienced in that state. The ther-
mometer fell one hundred and twenty
five degrees inside of two hours,
The snow was eight feet deep in the
streets. 1t was impossible for any
one to be out with out perishing in a
short time. The storm lasted about
five hours and proved very destruc-
tive.-West Side Telephone, 81.

Bad Times In Eastern Oregon.

1t is said by parties who have Wis
tied that section that they have not a
single crop worth harvesting on the
road between Echo and Lexington,
and that dire discouragement stares
farmers in the face. Some are selling
famrs and improvements for what
they can get, and others are leaving
everything. The situation is indeed
a gloomy one.-EGSt OregOnian.

A visit to the John Days region
shows considerable being done in the
way OF cultivation and improvement.
On seeing the growth on such place
as Howell Lewis's, for instance, the
first thought that strikes one is why
anyone in Clatsop county who can
get hold of an acre Of its soil should
ever allow any talk of "hard times" to
worry him. Here on the tide land,
is oats that stand over six feet high,
and which, harvested as hay, will go,
as experience proves, six tons to the
acre-fuliy equal to 800 ton hay
imported from California, and vastly
to the straw that comes from
our sister state and which is sold at
that figure. On the higher ground
Of Mr.. Lewis's place are raised pota-
toes-300 bushels to the acre-at
cent a pound, this means $3.50 for an
acres yield. His is only one Of hun
dreds. The fact is there is such q
profusion of resources and natural
yield in this country that 1t is over
whelming. There was once a DON
key who starved to death between
two bundles of fine hay, because he
couldn't make up his mind which
bundle to tackle first. A man that
goes around crying about hard times
when soil to be had for the asking is
waiting to be tickled with hoe that
it may laugh with harvest of profit,
is suggestive parallel.

ESPECIAL TO TIE AsToRIAN.)


NEW YORK, July 2s.-Steve Brodie,
the bridge jumper and Bowery sa-
loon keeper and the Albany girl whom
he is accused Of abducting were ar
raigried at the Tombs to-day. The
girls mother, Mrs. Laura Ford, of
Albany, was presented and admitted
that the girl was 16 years old. The
charge OF abduction therefore fell
through. 1t was then decided to
hold the girl as an incorrigible.
While waiting the removal Of the
girl to the house of mercy, she made
a desperate but unsuccessful attempt
to plunge q knife into her breast.
Had not a policeman caught her arm
she would have succeeded. The girl
remarked defiantly: "Well, either I
will be allowed to 90 with Steve or I
will do it yet"
Brodie and she had been living to-
gether for week. He asserts that
they would have been married had it
not been for the recent death of his

ONE KIND OF IMMIGRATION.

New YORK, July 28.-When the
four congressman who are inyesti-
eating the emigration affairs Of the
country assembled to-day. Paul
Wolff. the Washington correspondent
Of the New York Stats Zeitu1lg,
took the witness stand and stated
that some years ago he was informed
that there were several societies in
Germany and especially in Bavaria
formed for the purpose of sending
discharged criminals to this country.
The witness laid this information be.
fore the assistant secretary Of state
and that gentleman wrote to the
American consul at Munich on the
subject who replied in December
1886 that there were no such soci-
cites.
The witness then read extracts
from the reports of one of these soci.
eties showing that in 1888 twenty
seven discharged convicts were sent
to this country by societies. The re-
port said that the worse that the men
are and the larger families they have,
the better they are to send to Amer
lea. The witness said the societies
are not government affairs but the
royal counselor Bouer is president
and prince regent Luithold is honor
ary president of one society.
In 1886 their report is more eau
tionsly worded but it shows that out
OF l,5OO marks expended nearly half
was used to assist emigrants to come
to America.
