ASKING THE PEOPLE FOR JUSTICE.

SPOKANE, July Ga terrific cyclone
passed over Montana yesterday. The
amount of rain and hail that fell and the
frequency of the lightning were unpre-
cedented at Helena. In ten minutes an
inch of rain fell. Hail came down like
bullets, and the leaves of trees all over
town show clean, round holes. People
who were caught out in the storm had to
seek shelter until its cessation. The
wind that preceded the rain and hail
blew so miles an hour, leveling trees and
fences. Lightning struck the Scandina-
Wan church, entering the steeple, when it
divided into several bolts and few in all
directions. The steeple and part of the
church were wrecked, and the parsonage
was badly damaged. Rev. Henry Lin
derman, the pastor, his wife and 4-year-
old child were shocked. but not seriously
hurt. The child has a distinct blue
streak down ouc arm. Several persons
in the neighborhood of the church were
prostrated by the shock. The church
was set on fire, but the flames were
quickly extinguished.

The Colored PeopIe.

CHICAGO, July 6.-This appears to be
the year of national conventions The
colored people now in session in Gin
cinnati are discussing matters of inter-
est to their race. One of the speakers
yesterday, D. A. Budd, discussed the
situation with more than ordinary
intelligence. A number of other speech
es were made reciting southern outrages
etc. A resolution was adopted appealing
to the American people for justice; !;
against murder and violence, robbery
extortion, hasty and cruel judgements,
and against fierce mobs; appealing to
the colored people to bear in mind their
prosperity and advancements depend
upon themselves; they must practice
industry, economy, sobriety; be
orderly, law-abiding and honest, that
they may win the reputation of good
citizens. The resolution declares that
the interests OF the colored people re-
quire the establishment of literary
academy, where colored youths may
acquire thorough practical and engin-
eering education. The resolution de-
clares that Washington is best suited for
the location of such an institution, and
the project is submitted to the consider
alton of the United States.

cago. He will also make arrangements
to convey the delegation from Chicago to
Washington over the Baltimore and Ohio
road. This special car has been ordered,
and will be ready to convey the dele

VOTES SAID TO BE DEMoNErIzED-
The House May Amend The Bill And
Thus Prolong The Session.
WILLIAM KArus.rO GO TO SIDNEY
A Junketing Trip FROM PORTLAND to-
Washington City by The Free
Bridge Committee.

WASHINGTON, July eff it be true,
as representative Culberson of Texas
says, that the senate made fatal over
sight in passing the silver bill, in that it
failed to reserve, in the repeal of the act
of 1890, the legal tender quality of coin
notes issued under that act, and also de-
stroyed the authority of the secretary of
the treasury to redeem them. the effect
will be to demonetiZe more than $780,
100000 of coin notes, and postpone their
redemption until congress authorizes it.
The house will be compelled to amend
the bill, and thus the session may be
prolonged.

huge mountain sheep wandered down
from the everlasting crags and peaks of
Canyon mountain to Myers mine near
the creek mile and half above town,
and grazed around until the miners went
to the cabin and brought forth the
trusty rifle. They got him. Mountain
sheep and ibex were numerous in these
high mountains in early days, but
hunters have Trimmed their ranks.

Not SO Bad or.

Wasco News. While it is an undeni-
able fact that the crops of Sherman
county are in a bad condition, yet we do
not believe that they are SO far gone as
some OF our exchanges would have US
believe. Statements in some of our ex--
changes are to the effect that. the wheat
crops in this county are entirely burned
up. There will be considerable wheat
threshed in Sherman county this year,
though not by any means the amount
there was last year. Some of our farm
ers claim that they will have wheat to
sell this fall. Some, of course. will not
raise seed. but there will be plenty raised
to seed the county and some for export
The crops are short, there is no denying
that fact, but there will be more wheat
raised than many think. Those who
know say that the prospects are better
this year than they were three years ago

Chicago News. There was one s''we-
view with alarm in the democratic

with derision. But how does it happen
that the platform contains no I'VE point

sential, time-honored and immemorial
phrase cannot but be detrimental to the
Democratic cause among the residents of
those back counties where a platform
without it is considered IL freak

are readily disposed of at par and the
regular contingent expenses of the city
are regularly met.
Our FIRE department is we'll equipped,
SO far as apparatus is concerned; but
the fire department is in need of an en-
gine house with its appurtenances; l
urge upon you the necessity of giving
this your early consideration that this
need may be supplied. l would recon-
mend that if an engine house be built
that it be placed upon the ground now
occupied as temporary quarters; that
the lot formerly occupied as an engine
house be disposed of, as soon, as a fair
the proceeds be used to cover the ex-
pense of a new house. 1 would further
recommend that when q new engine
house be built that the City hall and
jail be thoroughly repaired, that they
receive new roof and new floors and
such other repairs as will make the
building safe and comfortable.
While all of the interests OF the city
should receive great care and your best
consideration, in addition to the fire de-
partment. to which | have called your
particular attention, shall be pleased
to see you guard with the utmost vigi-
lance the finances OF the city. You are
chosen by the people of this municipal
ity to look after and care for their inter.
ests; your ability to do this is unques-
toned and I shall at all times take pleas
ure in assisting you in the discharge of
