Harrison will Decline Second
Term and Favors Blaine.

Harrison Will Decline SecOni
| Term and FavOrs Blaine.
CHICAGO, Aug. 14-A special to th'
Herald from Cape May, N. j., says
President Harrison will before the meet
ing Of the Republican national conven
ton of 1892, declare over his own re-
signature, and IN the most emphatic
manner, that he is not candidate for
denomination. The president decided
upon this course within the last few
weeks, and his purr ose in calling hither
few days ago Chairman Clarkson, OF
the national committee, and Stephen B.
ElkIns was to tell these gentlemen that
they might inform those Republicans
who are talking sides either for or
against his denomination, that they are
doing it unnecessarily. The decision of
the president, not to permit his name to
go before the convention, was made with
some reservations, which depend upon
these conditions:
First-If the present bitter opposition
within the Republican party to Mr.. Har.
riscn's denomination shall continue till
next spring, be will withdraw.
Second-If Blaine shall be we'll and
strong enough TO take the nomination,
and the party's demand for him contln-
ues as strong and sincere as it appears at
the present time, Mr.. Harrison will with
draw.
Third-If Mr.. Blaine, having sufficient
health and strength, shall be willing to
take the nomination, Mr.. Harrison will
withdraw.
The information that the president
reached this decision is from source
not to be questioned as to its accuracy
and truthworthiness Mr.. Blaine knows
that the president occupies his position,
Mr.. ClaIkson, Mr.. Elkins, Mr.. Quay and
Mr.. Piatt also know it. Mr.. Quay has
been advised not to force his Blaine
boom in Pennsylvania, ard he has called
4 halt. The Harrison Blaine programme,
which all the bosses have been given a
chance to fall in with, is that no move
nent shall be instituted for presidential
lsplrant, neither for the president nor for
Hr. Blaine, nor for any other man if ii
IAN be prevented. The party, without
efforts TO influence it, is to be

neer of the express, as nearly as can nov
be ascertalned, had not been notified o.
the fact that an excursion train was or
the track ahead of him, and the conduc-
tor on the excursion train seems TO have
neglected to send signal man back to
protect the rear of his train while the
shunt was being arranged. The express,
running at high speed, came upon the
excursion train SO suddenly that the
engineers efforts to check its speed and
avoid disaster were unavalling. The
heavy express dashed into the rear of the
excursion train, demolishing the hind
most coach and forcing Its way partly
through the next one. The rear
coach happened to be an empty one,
which was intended for passengers to be
taken on at another station. The guards
in charge of it were killed, but the pres
ence of this car doubtless saYed the lives
of many occupants of the other coaches.
AS it was, the passengers In the second
coach were nearly all killed or injured.
Trainmen, assisted by the passengers who
had escaped injury, set to work immedi~
ately to rescue the unfortunates who were
imprisoned in the wreck.

WAsO0 FRUIT FARMS.
A Profitable Industry that is Rapidly
Extending.

The fruit farm of the Seufert brothers,
east OF the city, now present lively ap-
pearance. the gathering of the crop of late
peaches for shipment being in full progress.
The OWNERS expect to ship in the neighbor-
hood of 5000 boxes of this variety of fruit,
the greater part of which is sent as far east
as st. Paul. Grapes and other fruits are
also being daily marketed from the Seuferts'
orchards, and ones stranger to the country,
can hardly realize that this fruit farm but a
few years ago was only succession of sand
dunes. 1t simply shows what thrift and
enterprise can accomplish. The raising of
fruits is to be one of Oregon's great indus
tries and nowhere, within the state, can the
business be carried on more advantageously,
and with surer profitable return than right
here in Wasco county. There are many liv-
ing in this vicinity who are quietly growing
rich through fruit raising and the time is
not distant when the business will be en-
gagged in by scores of others awakened to
the fact that nothing gives better or more
certain returns on the investment made.

Fatalities at EIiensburg.

ELLENsBURe, Aug. 17--Early yester-
day morning Joe Alder, a well-knowr
barber, and three companions, left for E
hunting and fishing trip up to Wilson
creek, fourteen miles away. After ar.
irving they separated, agreeing to meet
at cetaln place in the evening to start
for home. Adler did not show up, but
his friends waited till dark, and then
concluded he had gone home alone.
When they reached town he had net yet
put in an appearance. The party re-
turned to the mountains at daylight this
morning and soon made the horrible dis.
covery. They found Alder lying on the
ground with his head between two large
rocks and crushed out of all semblance
of humanity. Everything Indicated that
he had stepped ON large stone on the
steep hillside, which began to roll, he
falling ahead of it about twenty feet
against another rock. In this way his
head must have been caught between
the two and crushed to jelly. The cor
oner's jury visited the scene and rendered
verdict of accidental death.
About Z o'clock this morning ]. Grip
pin, young man about 90 years old,
went to the Yakima river TO bathe, being
accompanied by Rev. Duncan. a Presby-
terisn minister, whom he was going to
teach how so swim. Arriving at the
river Duncan requested the young man
to go in first, so as to watch his move
ments. Crippin did so and almost i'm
mediately got into deep, cold water. He
was seized with cramps, sank twice and
rose no more. All the time Duncan
stood on the bank, unable to render any
assistance. The body was recovered at
$50 o'clock in fifteen feet of water.
Young Crippin was employed In Wood
worth's drugstore, and was most exem-
plary young man. His death, coming so
close upon the terrible accident of yes.
terday, has cast gloom over the city.

On Friday afternoon of last week, Sam
and Prior Smith were separating cattle on
the flats below Billy Joslin's place, 20 miles
north of town, when Sans horse ran over
yearling, throwing both the rider and the
horse to the ground When Mr.. Smith was
picked up he was unconscious and to all ap-
pearances was dead. He was taken to Mr..
Cleek's place on Willow creek, where DR..
Gesner chanced to be, and it required some
four hours application of restoratives before
the doctor could bring him to consciousness.
Mr.. Smith came TO town Sunday, and has
about recovered, though he experiences con-
siderable soreness about the head and neck.
1t was indeed a fortunate escape from
death, as in falling he struck on his head
and shoulders, and the only wonder is that
his neck was not broken.

A Useful South American Reptile.

"In Brazil" says traveller, "rats are
very troublesome, and to rid their houses
of the pests the inhabitants resort to a
peculiar method. The glboia, small
species of boa, is reared expressly for the
purpose, and the serpents, many of them
fiteen feet in length and about five inches
thick are sold in the markets of principal
towns. The snake is harmless and slow
of movement during the day, but at
night, when the household is deep in
slumber, the exterminator gets in his
work. His method of killing the rat is
to catch it by the nape of the neck and
crush the cervical vetebra. The serpent,
like dog, In this country soon becomes
accustomed to its masters house, and If
carried away to distance will find its
way back.

Oregonian: The party from the OregoniaR
composing room who ascended Mount Hood
last week saw three foxes up at 1llumina-
ton rock, and on the summit they saw a
very lively mouse, which had made its nest
in the copper box left by the Alpine Club.
1t had gnawed one corner off the book and
cut up newspaper to make nest. Some
of the boys threw stones at the mouse, but
soon desisted when they thought what
struggle for existence the little beast musa
have. What the mouse or the foxes live on
it is difficult to imagine. The party left
some food for the mouse, and probably
everyone who ascends the mountain leaves
some crusts or crumbs there, but such stray
fodder must furnish very precarious exist
ence even for a mouse and his mate.
Yakima Herald: For some years small
band OF wild horses have been known to

Gently. Not long ago a fine horse was
missing. A handsome reward being offered
for its return, John Owens started on a
searching expedition, and his quest lead
him to the stamping grounds of the wild
animals. After great exertion and strate-
gem, he finally captured four of the band,
which he now has corralle1 at his home.
They are fine fiery American stock, and
bear no evidence of ever having been brok-
en-. One Of them he has since broken to
bride, and that he was riding at the time
of telling of his strange adventure.
If you kill one cricket, other crickets will

they are troubled with crickets, they use
this fact for all it Is worth. They drive a

march few times and tramp few million
to death. Then the whole army of crickets
gather around the dead pioneers and the
sheep do the rest.
