The figures touching upon the crops
of this country and Europe are based
upon official estimates derived from the
agricultural department The present
price of wheat is so low that i, seems
highly probable the farmers will keep
back their wheat for IA bigger figure.
This wheat trust will thus not only
affect the farmers themselves, but will
push up the price of -four the world
over, and make itself felt from San
Francisco to st. Petersburg.

Sunday afternoon Mr., and Mrs. t..
ID. Calklns and son Tommy, Mrs.

been visiting Mr., and Mrs. Locke
were returning 10 their home when an
accident occurred that only by the
greatest good luck did not cause the
death of Mr. aud Mrs. Calkins. At
the foot of the grade this side Of the

near the top Of the hill around point
Of rocks the road being but Il few
feet wider ;hnn the wagon track and
the bluit being at least sixty feet, with
n steep incline from It's base 10 another
prccipicc of thirty feet or more. When
the horse had Just reached this narrow

mpnccd to back. Mr.. Calkius told his
wife tojmnp, which she did inmedi-
atcly, aud MIR CHlkius followed as the
hind wheels of the wagon went over
the bluf Mrs Calkius caught him 10y

carried over. The wagon and horse
went over the blum, slid down the in
cline, fell over the precipice, and rolled
on distance Of between threc-hun-
drcd and four-hundrcd feet, landing
with his head between big boulder
and a fir tree root, the wagon staying
with him. Mr., Calllns saw the ami
mai struggling, aud went around to

the boulders aud tree, and was aston
ish5d to sec him get up. He was led
down the hill where goat could hard

kindling wood.
Since writing the above the distances
have been measured and it was found
that the horse fell clear, Is feet and

The manager Of ore of the largest
iowclry stores in the city was speaking
of some experiences he had had with
diamond thieves, Said he:
OF course we are familiar with the
faces Of great many e the most expert
thieves who pick up diamonds and
iewclry while examining them under
pretense Of buying, but naturally our
knowledge Is limited, ana great care is
exercised when exposing precious stones,
keep all the loose diamonds i'll my pri-
vate Office and attend to their sale my
self, but this is rather u dangerous policy.
Quite recently . man came in and asked
to see some unset diamonds, and with
out The slightest suspicion brought him
in here and spread out number Of pa
rers of very valuable stones. l was seat
ed in a revolving chair, and had occasion
to turn my back on him for q moment,
and when | looked around again dis
covered that two valuable stones We're
missing.
Very quietly l folded up the papers,
leaving the one from which the stones
had been taken until the last Then
saying carelessly That | had something
else to show him, turned to drawer
in my desk and got my revolver. This
is what wanted to show you, and now
just put back those two diamonds said
|. He looked at me for Il moment, said
something about insulting gentleman,
but he saw the revolver looking very
dangerous, and finally produced the
stones from his vest pocket. .--Philadei-

Alta special meeting of the Hood
River Armory Association held Mon.
day night, ninety shares were repre-
sented aud the question of increasing
the uumber Of shares from l20 to 300
and the capital stock from s. 200 to So
200 was up for action.
The meeting was presided over ly
Joseph y. Wilson, and after some dis
cusion as to the right of certain sub
scrlbers to stock, TO vote, the motion to
increase the capital stock was put and
carried by ,ote of 81 to Is. Captain
a. $. Blowers having some doubt as to
his right to vote the Is shares owned
by d Company declined to vote them.
After the result was announced, on
motion of Captain Blowers it was de-
cidcd that all those who had subscribed
stock, and who were dissatisfied with
the increase, might withdraw their
subscriptions, and four shares were
withdrawn. 1t looks now as though
the armory would be built ut once.

The school.

The 'deestrct schooln which began
and closed its term last Friday night
in Armory hall, was decided success
from financial standpoint, yielding
we understand, S44. The hall was
packed and there being no ventilation
except such us was caused by opening
the front door, those in front of
the house were nearly sutiocated, while
those In front of the door of whom the
writer was one, nearly all caught onto
u cold of large size and phenomenal
meanness. The play, if play it could
be called, had no merit, and the lack
of scenery, furniture and room, would
have prevented its proper pre-
senmtion if it had. In one point, and
one only, it resembled the old-time
school, and that was that there was a
feeling ofjoy all around when it was
dismissed. We regret exceedingly
that we cannot find something pleas
ant to say concerning it, but regard for
truth compels us to say that we cannot.
With those who took part we have no
fault to find, for there was nothing III
the piece, and it requires more than
amateur talent to make, to use a
homely expression, "a silk purse out
of sow's ear" The object was a
worthy one, and we are glad that it
was success financially, but we be-
lieve we voice the sentiment of all who
went, when we say that the vacation
should extend over several years.

four hours continuous feeding, the banquet
was brought to a close by President Heurici
walking out, accompanied by the Council.
Then the women left, and the men were not
long in clearing the building, with more or
less apparent relief.
A similar feast was partaken of at 6
O'Clock in the evening, and the days cele-
bration was brought to a close.
One peculiaritv apparent about the Har-
monites is that they appear to be people
unto themselves; to be, In measure severed
from the world. and to live only that they
may live in the small encourage of Economy.
Even the women, many of whom are young
and comely, and the children carry an air
of somber seriousness that would be re-
garded as remarkable anywhere else.
There were no new members taken in yes

Police of Both Cities Drop in Upon
Half a Dozen Speak-Easies.
THREATS OF A CAPTURED VISITOR.
Captain Silvis' Warm Welcome to Sur.
prised Customers.
A HUSHERY TURNED UP IN ALLEGHENY

The police of the First district made raids
yesterday upon several speak-easies.
A speak-easy kept by jesse Pavey and
his wife, Rose Ann Pavey, 48 Fourth ave-
nue., was raided by Captain Silvis and
squad of officers at about 7:30 o'clock last
night. Officers Maxwell, Yeager and Con-
we'll, in citizens clothes, got into the place
during the day and found it running wide
open, with big supply of liquor on hand.
They reported. and raid was planned. AS
the officers were on their way to the place in
the evening, Steve Fannon saw them and
ran to Pavey's house to notify him. Cap
tain Silvis suspected Fannon, and hastened
after him, arriving at the house in time to
catch him, in company with Payey, Mrs.
Pavey and another man. While the officers
were awaiting the arrival of the patrol
wagon II other thirsty men, nearly all oil
we'll drillers who had come to town for a big
time, entered the place. They were politely
received by the officers IN charge, and, after
being treated to the stock on hand, were
loaded up on the patrol wagon, which had
to make second trip.
Pavey had several hundred dollars on his
person when arrested, and ne put up S210
for the release of his wife and himself.
Several of the men arrested were released
on S15 forfeits, one of them alleging that he
would make it very warm for the police be-
fore he got through with them if it cost him
$1,000. lannon's release could not be
secured for less than $50, as he was only re-
leased on Saturday from another charge by
the payment of fine by his friends.
at o'clock yesterday morning raids
were made on the houses of John Kearns,
No. AZ Eighteenth street; Mrs. McGovern,
