The Democrats defeated us only o.
governor this year. In 1892 we will max
the victory more complete, and "don'
you forget it."
BY reason of more important matter
the table of the vote of this county las
Monday has been necessarily laid owe
until tomorrow.
The official returns from Antelope pre-
cinct, ia miles from The Dalles, ar,
known; but from Mosier, Ii miles distant
nothing has been heard.
Monday was good time for Republi
cans. They swept the state by abou
5000 majority. Who would not desire &
home in this commonwealth?
The election in Gillian county resulted in
victory for Condor for county seat. Only
two precints voted for Arlington, and those
were Arlington and Blalock. Hereafter
persons deslrous of attending court must
journey forty miles from the railroad, oyel
the sandnills and sage-brush.
Leprosy mas increased to such an extent
In Cape Colony that hospital for lepers
has been founded on Robin island, near
the African coast. Other hospitals will
also be needed to deal with the eyiI. In
India legislation is urgently demanded for
the suppression of leprosy.
Big Bend Empire: When the legislature
meets in extra session it ought to pass an
act suppressing George Francis Train, of the
Tacoma Ledger. The American people are
noted for their fondness of huge jokes, but
the Ledger is OVERRIDING it by giving so
much space to the gigantic crank, Train.
Anacortes Progress: In the Skagit val
ley last year between Edison and Star
wood, off an area OF about Two and one
half townships, the following shipments
were made: Oats, 1900 tons; Hay, 5000
tons. Sevnty-fve TO one hundred and
twenty five bushels of oats, and from three
and half to five tons of hay are raised
to an acre.
Returns from Prirey1lle to-day give the
following vote: Hermann, I37; Miller,
1859; Thompson, 81; Pennoyer, 22O; Nc
Bride, 1913; Townsend, ls5; Metschan,
l35; Webb, 10; Bean, l3S; Bonham,
40; McElroy, Ill; LeRoy, 1872; Baker,
1873; O'Brien, ia; Wilson, l4S; Dufur,
l57.
The very latest dispatches assures the
election of Pennoyer, the Democratic gov
ernor, the whole Republican state ticket,
and probably the county ticket, with the
exception of Gourlay, Cartwright and
possibly Barnett. 1t has been glorious
victory, and we feel like shouting loud
and long.
Last Monday our citizens were treated
to several tunes from Scottish bagpipes.
They were played by James McCrimmon,
who claims to have been one of the musi-
Clans of the 42d Hlghlanders-the Black
Watch-when they made the charge at
Tel ell Keber. He received slight sun
stroke, was granted leave of absence, and
left Egypt for Canada in 1882.
of party fealty we have example as
Tygh valley in this county. Two old gen.
tlemen, aged respectively 20 and 70 wears,
voted the Democratic ticket. They SOL
emnly declared that they had voted the
same ticket ever since they were 81 years
of age, and never scratched single
name. Such loyalty to party becomes
servility, and merits nothing but censure.
One young lady in this county has hair
so red that when her beaux call of eyen-
ings it costs nothing for oil, as no light |
but that of the lady's hair is needed In
the room where the chatting is DONE
Pomeroy Independent. o, pshaw! There
are several brunettes and flaxen-hared |
blondes in this city whose beau take par
ticular delight in turning down the gas
and talk sweet nonsense only by the light |
of love.
The only Union ticket voted in Antelope |
was by Chinaman, and it was placed in |
separate box. The greatest excitement
prevailed when John of the Celestial em.
pire was brought forward. and when he
folded his ticket in the same lordly way
that Napoleon did his dispatches the |
eountencnces of the Democrats were crest
falleni but it was simply joke and |
caused considerable merriment to the per-
petrators.
Baker Democrat: Samuel Kidder has |
braska, through their representative, MIR. |
at price per head of $3.50. The band !
has been delivered to the purchasers at
tho Virtue mine and they will be driven
in a few days to the railroad for ship
ment. Messrs. Evans & Blewett have
purchased many thousand more through
out Eastern Oregon and they are only one
firm of many who have been buying in
this part of the state.

manned on the rails and no one was in.
jured. This is the second accident since
leaving Portland. A few miles this side
dropped, and had it not been that it fell
in another part of the machinery that
held Ii up from the ground terrible ac-
eident wopld haye been the result, at

DR.. Deane, the grand master of the 1.
D. D. y. in this state, has received an in
viiation from the district grand lodge of
Berlin, inviting any and all visiting odd
Fellows to an international bundesschiessen
statt--shooting match-io be given from
July 9th to the 18th The circular also
invites brothers to visit the lodge room,
which is located on Jacob street, No. 1873.
If any of our German friends intend Wis
fling the old country we hope they will
not fail to attend the buadesschiessen statt
They will he made welcome, and enjoy
such cordial greeting as only Germans
can give.
East OregQniaa: A pathetic incident
came under the observation of officers at
Pndleton Sunday night. An old German
couple, lately arrived from the old country,
found themselves without money and friends
on reaching Pendleton. They wanted to 20
to Spokane, where the have relatives, but
could not buy tickets and were put of the
train by the conductor. The old couple
wandered about and finally laid down to
sleep under a bridge, where thev were
tumbled upon by chance by OFFICER Culp
His syIapathies were at once aroused, and
he conveyed the unfortunates to Gratz' res
taurant, where they have since been cared
for. Neither can speak a word OF English
and their condition is sufficiently pitiable.
A subscription will probably be raised to
send them to Spokane, their destination.
Ne one will be backward IN such work of
charity.
Ochoco Reriew: For the past two or three
months w. s. pren has been working on
machine intended to be used in shearing
sheep, and has at last succeeded in making
one that stands the test of practical opera
