10 Chicago by the 18th of September on
wager of $4,000, arrived at their desti-
nation August 81, having accomplished
their feat with half a month to spare.
They brought their tent, blankets and
cooking utensils in wheelbarrow which
they trundled along with them. Howard
was reduced by the trip from ITO to 1sO
pounds and his wife from 104 to $50
pounds. The pair experienced all kinds
of climate, rain, hail, snow and sunshine.
They danced aud sang in many of the
towns they passed through and made
money on the way. At one time they
were unable to get anything to eat but
beach nuts for three days, their other
men:lonable adventures was the killing
of a mountain lion that was stealing into
their tent, and Howard's falling through
bridge. They came out of the trial in
good shape and in excellent spirits, which
was not to be wondered at, fer they re-
received check at their journeys end
for $4,000 and that itself was not dis
couraging dose to take as reward for a
five and q half months time devoted to
such trip that necessarily had its
diversions, even if it was at times severe.

died at the home of her parents-Mr. and
Mrs. w. E. Sylvester. She was born in
this city about twenty-three years ago, and
was most exemplary lady, living a Chris

Christians reward. About two years ago
she was married to Mr.. j. S. Winzler, and
soon afterwards removed with her husband
TO La Grande, where she resided but short
time and returned to The Dalles. For many
years she has suffered from heart troubles.
and her death was not unexpected. Of a
kind and affectionate disposition, she made
many firm and lasting friends, who will drop
a tear of regret over her remains. Her hus.
band, to whom she was devotedly attached,
and her family, to whom she was affection.
ate and obedient, will receive the heartfelt
sympathy of the community in their sad
bereavement. The funeral took place Tues.
day at 10 o'clock from the First Methodist

lnsultea the american Flag.

New YORK, Sept. 26.-Members of the
group of Venezuelan revolutionists in
this city claim to have received private
advices that the steamship Caracas, fly
ing the United States flag, was boarded
at La Guayra by Pulldo's soldiers, who
seized several passengers and the captain,
whom they threatened to shoot upon in
terterence. Shots we're fired at the flag.
United States Minister Scruggs is said to
ers and salute TO the flag for the insult.
Both were refused. 1t Is also stated that
Minister Scruggs is practically prisoner,
and could not communicate with Wash
ington. As the Caracas is due on Mon
day afternoon, the truth of the story will!
be ascertained then.

Pre-Historic Oity.

Ashland Record: VIM. Hanley anG
wife returned last week from eastern
Oregon. He reports that on the desert
near Silver Lake the site of an ancient
city has been discovered. One side oil
the square has been traced for four OF
five hundred yards. The top is just
above the surface and is about four feet
wide. made of cement, similar to those OF
Arizona and Mexico. The city evidently
antedates the Aztecs and Toltecs. No
thoroughbred rockoIoglst has yet visited
the ruins. The cowboys have done a
little prospecting on their own hook.
Am ong other things found is the imprint
of human foot upon block of the
cement work, showing that the hod
carriers of those days went bareiooted.
A cast of large sized trowel was also
found. 1t is quite likely the city was
built upon the shore of Silver lake, which
Is now distant about thirty miles.

card party In honor of the Misses Sransbury
and Packard of Portland. A dainty lunch
was served, and all went away feeling that
very pleasant evening had been passed.
Mrs. George Johnston followed with a
whist party, at which all enjoyed them
selves very much, many skillful TIddlewink
players being present, and became so much
engaged in the science of the game as to be
lmpervious to all calls, until refreshments
were announced, when they gave very con-
vlncing proof that even refreshments were
well appreciated.
The final party was given on Tuesday
evening by Mr.. and Mrs. A. ]. Dufur, of
the "Fifteen-mile house." The evening
was very pleasantly spent in games. ETC.. In
which all entered with zest, as also in the
refreshments which followed. A very pleas

The invited guests will long remember the
pleasant evenings spent IN the thriving lit
tie town of Dufur.

shooting ARRAY ON a Ranch.

BELLEVUE. Idaho, Sept. 26.-Yester-
day at Samuel Wilson's ranch, at Willow
Creek, Logan county, 90 miles from Bel
levue. John Dacey was shot and prob
ably fatally wounded by Thomas Brooks.
The bullet entered the navel, coming out
near the backbone. The wounded man
was taken to the Alturas hotel 10 HALEY,
where he now lies IN precarlous coudi-
ton. 1t is alleged that Dacey ia an un-
ruly character. He met Brooks at Will
sons ranch and charged him with run
ming of his (Dacey's) horse. Brooks re-
pudiated the charge and called Dacey a
vile name, when Dacey struck him. This
so enraged Brooks that he pulled his
pistol and fired, with the above result.
Brooks is now lodged in jail at Bellevue.

THE TEMEsGAL MIME.

True to its Democratic predilec-
tions, the San Francisco Examiner has
done everything possible to discourage
the development of the Temescal mine
in that state, and the party organs in
Oregon have copied these articles
The San Francisco Chronicle, which
has the same OF better informstion
than the Examiner, has the following
in its issue of Sept. 22d, on this mine:
s. S. Thomas, an experienced and practi.
cal miner. who has been at work in the Te-
mescal tin mines for months past. has just
told reporter in Los Angeles that after
three months work on the ledge 1t looked
better than when he began, being trihe
wider and presenting a better outlook. He
says that Corkhill, who has been the main
stay of Democratic contemporary IN its
assaults on the Temescal mine, is entirely
unreliable, as he is little better than I'M
beetle. Mr.. Thomas is a Democrat, but he
does not believe in misrepresentation, even
though it might chance to benefit his party,
The attack on the Temescal mine is not
political assault, but an attack on q domes-
tic industry, pure and simple. The new
tariff bill, as every one knows or shoald
know, imposes an import duty on TIN ore
and on bar, block and pig tin of cents per
pound after July l, 1898; provided that un-
less 5000 tons of cassiterite and bar, block
the United States, then tin shall be restored
to the free list on July l, 1895.
The Temescal tin mine, like every mine,
is an experiment. There is tin ore there, as
has been amply demonstrated; hut whether
the lodes or veins are of sufficient depth and
extent to be worked protitablv can be ascer-
tanned only by actual tests. 1t is, then, IN
opposition to this attempt to develop do
mestic industry and one that may prove OF
great value to California, that our contem-
porary has set itself up. 1t has not been
over-scrupulous, either, as to the source of
its statements, but has taken as gospel the
stories of discharged miners and men who
have had quarrels with the officers in charge
of the mine.
Certainly that Is not the way to forward
the interests of the state. If there is a val
liable tin mine at Temescal 1t should be de-
veloped; if it is not worth working, that can
be stated only after thorough exploitation.
In either case it is foolish and short
sighted policy to try to kill the industry in
ITS present experimental stage. and to kill
t by slander.

About o'clock last night he met Mr..
