Tho Worlds Ship,srecks.

We hear much Of the many finely
modelled ships that are built from time
to time, but little OF the many vessels
that are lost. Occasionally public in.
terest is excited by herolsm displayed
In saving q shipwrecked crew; but In
many cases the loss OF ship is only
indicated by q line or two in the list OF
casualties In the daily papers. Who,
for instance, would think thai last year
81 vessels, the larger proportion ships,
sailed from some port or other, and ae-
cordlng to Lloyd's annual return, never
again we're heard Of, and those, too
were fairly good-sized craft. England
and her colonies contribute 2s,500 out Of
the 40, 100 tons which have thus passed
out OF record. The total OF wrecks, too,
seems large, 1855 vessels Of 649. .946
tons-but 1t must be remembered that
there are probably always afoat on the
high soas over 20,000,0 900 tons OF ship
ping, which fact, although 1t increases
the surprise that 50 many vessels should
be lost without any news, indicates
generally fairly low ratio OF loss
. to per cent. OF tonnage.

Luncheon,

The home of Mrs. Geo. p Morgan was
on Wednesday last the scene of one of the
most enjoyable events in the annals of the
Ladies Aid Society of the Congregational
church. The occasion of the event being
the near departure of one of their loved
members, Mrs. Drew. 1t was planned as a
complete surprise to her, and after spending
an hour or so IN the agreeable way, which
the ladies of the Aid Society know so well.
Mrs. Drew was invited by Mrs. Curtis to
visit the dining room, where, before her as.
tonIshed eyes, appeared two long tables,
very artistically arranged by Mrs. R. F.
Gibbons, extending the whole length of the
large dinlug-room. Before each guest was
lovely buttonhole boquet, supplied by
Mrs. Marden. just before the guests were
seated, one of the members stepped forward
and presented Mrs. Drew with beautiful
decorated souvenir album, on the pages of
which were written words of love and re-
membrance by. the members, and if any one
had peered in the window at that time he
would have seen more than one pair Of
moist eyes, ploistened by the thought of the
breaking of the ties which severed one
loved member from the rest. With re.
gretful goodbye to each other and to their
perfect hostess the ladies departed, the fol.

A Pure Baking Powder.

A baking powder that can be depended
upon to be free from lime and alum IS de.

So far as can be judged from the official re-
ports, the "Royal" seems to be the only one
yet found by chemical analysis to be entire.
ly without one or the other of these sub.
stances, and absolutely pure. This, 1t is
shown, results from the exclusive use by its
refined and prepared by patent processes
which totally remove the tartrate of lime
and other impurities. The cost of this
chemically pure cream of tartar is much
greater than any other, and it is used in no
baking powder except the "Royal," the
manufacturers of which control the patents
under which it is refined.
DR.. Edward G.. Love, formerly analy teal
chemist for the U. S. government, who
made the analyses for the New York state

Powder to be superior to all others in
strength and leavening power. 1t is not

Editor TINES -MoUSTAISEER:

well. Some warm weather would be very
acceptable Just now.
My attention has been called to letter
in the Chronicle of the 18th of April and
signed Independent Voter" in which he
refers to my letter of April I'd, and says it
was ''deyoid of truth" This statement, to
speak emphatically, is-a falsehood, and he
knows it. Since our primary he has evi.

afflicted with for years. Now why didn't
Independent Voter"-this little Gear, who
would like to exercise an autocratic control
over the voters of Kingsley precinct-come
out honestly and say why he feels so very
bad. ! believe I can tell him the reason;
1t is simply this, because the Kingsley peo-
pie didn't elect delegates to support 'his
own familiar friend" c. tor office. Why
he persists in wanting to put this fellow
into office is a mystery to me and a good
many people around here, for is it not no.
toriously true that he was the first man in
the precinct to make indecent, scurilIous
and slanderous remarks about him; in fact,
he looks on him as the very quintessence of
meainess and all that is low in man. Can

he or dare he deny this? If he would the
very walls In the buildings around Kingsley
would cry out and call him l.. He
should know by this time that his friend
has been politically weighed In the balance
and found wanting" And now by way OF
revenge he threatens to vote the Democratic
ticket, and would like the whole of Wasco
county to think as he does and do the same.
What an absurd, exaggerated idea this
feudal baron has of himself. VIII he state
what objection he has to the ticket or any
name on it? Is 1t not good one from top to
bottom? Notwithstanding he may carry this
terrible threat Of his into execution in June
next, Kingsley precinct all the same will
give a decided majority to every name on
it. So mote it be.
He suggests that the leaders in both fac
tions at The Dalles SHOULD emigrate to
Jerusalem or some other holy place." 1t
certainly must be the new Jerusalem he
means, for it Is over eighteen centuries
since the old city of Jerusalem was called
holy. Why didn't he advise them to come
to King, ley. Is it not and should it not be
a holy place, for we have had the great
advantage of the earnest evangelical labors
OF his bosom friend for six or eight years,
and are known in The Oalles as "the TyPh
Ridge holy boys" or "Kingsleyites indeed
in whom there is no guile" 1t seems to me
very bad taste,if not showing lack of good
sense on the part of independent Voter
to refer to the "bad beer and demijohn of
whisky" as said by him to have been used
by the Dufur politicians. have a very
lively recollection of beer given to his

A Signal Service Officers Suicide.
PORT ANGELES, Wash, April 2S.-E.
T. Thomas, signal service officer at this
place, committed suicide this morning at
9 80 by shooting himself with a 4O-cali-
ber revolver. The bullet entered about
the middle of the forehead and came out
near the left ear. He lived about half an
hour after the shooting. He had been
unwell about three months, and had been
sustaining himself on stimulants for some
time. Domestic troubles also largely
contributed to the tragedy. His wife ap-
piled for divorce three or four days ago,
and the case was called for 10 o'clock this
morning. This preyed on his mind, and
in conversation he would continually re-
fer to it. 1t undoubtedly unbalanced his
mind. There Is no question but that he
deliberately, planned the deed. He left
his Office work ain perfect order, having
taken an observation at o'clock and
prepared his alometer and reports to the
minutest details. Thomas was born in
Grafton. W. Va, thirty-eight years ago.
He has been in the employ OF the signal
service for the past sixteen years. He
was married in New York city eight
years ago, and had three children, of
whom two boys are alive. Insanity runs
in his family, an aunt and uncle having
died In an asylvm, and his mother also
gave unmistakable signs of insanity be-
tore her death.

a Farmer Hangs Himself So

TEKoA, Wash. \ prI .s.-This morn.
Ing about 8 O'Clock, Otto Sewer, a young
farmer, went to Albert Masterman's
place for some iced. He drove his team
to the barn and went inside. He re-
mained some time, and tue team finally
started off. When Mrs. Masterman went
to the barn TO see why SEWER had not
tried to stop the horses, she was horritied
to find him hanging by the neck to a
joist of the barn. She gave the alarm,
and when Sewer was cut down life was
extinct. 1t is thought the cause of his
suicide was the trouble he had with bis
sweetheart, German glrl to whom he
recently sent money to come here, with
the understanding that they would be
married when she arrived. On her ar
rival she refused to marry him. and he
has been very respondent ever since.
He was an industrious young man and
we'll liked in the community.

VICTORIA, B. c., Apnl 2s.-Grave fears
are entertained as to the safety of John
IngersoH and Steve Vaughn, who left
last November in an open boat on pros
pecting and trapping expedition around
Cape Caution. They were last seen in
the middle of December by Frank Roth
well, who was also on similar trip to
that region. When they left Alert Bay
they only took provisions to last until
March 1, the time they expected to re-
turn. Inquiries have been made of all
the steamers and canoes coming down the
coast, and no one appears to have seen or
heard anything of them. 1t is feared
they have met with some accident, as
Cape Caution and the adjacent waters
are not very safe for boats. Vaughn has

The disingenouSness of MI. Holman'S
elaborate defence of the appropriations
by the present Congress as compared
with the appropriations of the so-called
billion dollar Congress is clearly pointed
out by the New York Sun which says:
To make a showing of reduction and retrench-
ment In the total for the session, Mr.. Holman is
obliged to compare that total with the figures
instead of the figures for the first session. where
tile comparison properly belongs. The Repub-
lican spendthriftS OF the Billion Congress made
away with s494, 456.24S of the peoples money
at their first session At their second session
the total grew to S541 ,23O.672. The figures
for this first session OF the Democratic Fifty
second Congress are $507, 701 $50, or SIS, 245,.
132 more than at the corresponding session OF
tile Billion Congress. Mr.. Holman is forced,
therefore, to set this first sessions total against
the second and more extrayagant session OF the
Fifty-frst Congress; an unnatural proceeding,
however, generous may be the motive that sug-
geStS it.
After making all proper allowances for
any effect which the legisla ton of the
last Congress may haveshad on this one,
after giving to the various excuses offer
ed all the weight they are entitled to, the
Sun says lit remains true, everything be-
ing considered, that the record of the
Democratic House in the matter of ap-
preparations is betrayal of the voters
who elected it on the issue of economy,
arepudiation of its own professions and
promises, and shame and disgrace to
the party The SUMS comments are
respectfully referred to the Argus,

Net-mending may or may not be
a trysting- ground, but bright, honest
girls do show preferences as to the sailor
lads who are to help them at their tasks;
for when the net is fresh from the sea-
and has to be handled quickly, it is no
light weight, and here the muscular fish
ing lad relieves the girl who is working
with him of some of her labor. There
are, if the weather be fine, pleasant chat
ter and merry peals OF laughter, whlch
come from net-menders, ana perhaps Ghe
older women or the spinsters 40 actually
more work than the girls. But whether
Ine TASK is llghteneu Win iuH anu Johoo,
nothing about the net is sighted; for
rotten net or badly mended one means
to these Woodworking men and women
