ITEMS IN BRIEF
From Wednesdays Daily.

Capt. Fl. C. Coe. of HOOD River, is in the
city.
Prof. C. L. Gilbert, of Hood River, is III
the city.
The weather was cloudy and light ram
fell this afternoon.
Mr.. c. 2. HeaId. tho president of the
horticultural society, took the train for
Hood River this aft, rnoon.
The returns fror every precinct in the
county should be received this evening; but.
IN many instances, they have been sealed uD
and the figures cannot be procured.
We received call to-day from Mr.. J.
w. Hendricks, of Hood RIVER. He says
the principal matter Of interest in that
vicinity centers around the big ditch
which is being dug, and that there will
be twice as much land devoted to the cul-
tivation OF strawberries as ever before.
The bulletins began to come in early
last evening at the Umatilla House, and
large crowd gathered. First came cheer
lug news for the Republicans, and the
Harrison men were joyful; but later on
the kilograms indicated that there were
Democratic gains in many states, with
New York probably Democratic. This
was sufficient to indicate the election OF
Cleveland, and Republicans gave the
matter up. So far as heard from the south
is still solid In the old line, with New
York, New Jersey and possibly Illinois
and California in harmony. 1t was in
cl1ned to be Waterloo, and about mid
night little interest was taken in the con
test.
Prineville Ne,us: The cattlemen OF
Crook are now harvesting their annual
g H. I-ol1 nad
steer and fattened cow have left the range
within the last few weeks, and soon the
flesh that erstwhlle quivered within the
sleek hides that glinted in the sunlight,
will be peddled out to the hungry of the
cities in the shape of "short ribs of beef
with brown potatoes" In their stead,
though, will be many $40 pieces to jingle
in the pockets of those who have raised
them from calfhood to the block. In
spite OF the presidential year and the
widespread depression which the worlds
falrNls creating throughout the country to
the ultimate benefit of the city of Chicago,
the people want beef, and our stockmen
are well prepared 10 furnish goodly
share of it.
Albany Democrat: Yesterday Mr.. George
Harteman, drummer for j, w. Duffy,
dealer in wall paper, and ]. P. Jourden,
dealer in varnishes, of San francisco.
arrived in Albany, and took room 81 at the
Revere House. In the evening he was feel |
ing uDwell, having cramps in his stomach,
and secured something at drug store for |
his illness, and went to bed at an early |
hour. About o'clock this morning he was |
heard to complain. Not coming down to |
breakfast his room was entered, when he |
was found cold in death in bis bed. The |
exact cause of his death could not be |
stated. The deceased has family in San |
Francisco. to which place his remains will |
be shipped tonight. He has travelled sew
eral years through Oregon, was about 3S
years of age, and is well spoken of by those
knowing him.
You are hardly IN it without you have
been a newsboy. An exchange says: Little
did the patrons of Joseph Medill, editor and
owner Of the Chicago Tribune, think that
the poor, struggling newsboy would occupy
the position he does, or that j. s. Pulitzer,
who was waiter at night and sold papers
during the day. would be owner and editor
of the New York World. Among other
notable ex-newsboys are: M. Il. DeYoung,
editor and owner of the San Francisco
Chronicle; Charles Crocker, now dead one
of the owners Of the Southern Pacific raIl
road, sold papers in Troy, N. Y; Leland
Stanford, whose name is familiar to every
one in the United States; Long John
Wentworth, mayor of Chicago and member
OF congress-; Horace Greely; Ferdinand
Wood, owner of the New York Ne,cs, has
retired worth over S6,0O0.000, Minister
Francis, who represented this country under
Hayes in Spain. editor of the Troy Times. ="
