Special Correspondence From WascO
and Sherman.
WAseo, May 12.-Tke opening session
of the institute was called to order at
1890 this morning by John Medler in
..ee ..e Chair. After selection of music hv
the choir, and prayer by P. P. Under
wood, the address of welcome was de-
livered by Rev. j. M. Denison, who paid
a glowing tribute to the fine agricultural
resources of Sherman county. In re-
spending, Professor French said he had
grathful recollection of the hosPitable
reception he and his colleague from the
agricultural college, had met at this
place year ago. He remembered toe
the intelligence manifested in the dis
cussions and was well assured that the
! time had come when the farmers of
Sherman county were able to conduct
useful and successful institutes without
extraneous aid. He liked the push and
energy of Eastern Oregon farmers.
There was something in the air of this
section that was death to the mossback-
ism so prevalent in the western part of
the state. Another selection of music
and an excellent and suggestive paper
was read by p. p. Underwood on; ssTo
what extent the farmer can dispense
with the middleman.' The paper elici-
ted considerable discussion, but no bet
ter suggestion was offered, perhaps, than
that which recommended the farmer to
get out of debt, and keep out, and thus
get into position where money can
talk for low profits on what he has to
buy. 1t was now nearing the noon hour,
and the meeting adjourned to partake of
such lunch as only the farmers wives
of Sherman county can spread. Your
reporter noticed the presence of the fol-
lowing candidates who are taking ad-
vantage of the large gathering to get ac-
quainted with the dear people. John
Smith, candidate for joint senator, S. F.
Blythe and II. E. Moore candidates for

F. r. Coon of Hood River, is expected

a regular contract in which the bride prom

cash. but still owed $40. 900. which she was
unable to raise. and he therefore took tie

When the Money Ran Out She and y Con
federate Got the Victim to Forge
Two $1,000 Notes.

New York, Oct. 1G. -Domingo l.. Ruiz,
rested on the charge of forging tho name
OF Gustav Preston, the Bogton merchant
and vice consul, to two notes of 81, 600
each, was brought before the police court
to-day. The proceedings disclosed the fact
that Ruiz. who is in his dotage, is the VIC
tim of a band of conspirators who fieeced
him ont Of $4,000. and in greed for more
induced him to indorse two 81, 600 notes
bearing the forged signature of Preston.
The principal in the conspiracy is said to
be Mrs. Bertha Laws, his adopted daugh-
ter. Ruiz became acquainted with the
Laws women through an advertisement
that she answered when he was looking for
n housekeeper. She was then known as
Miss Bertha Kriandslat. of Stockholm.
In the course of a few weeks she per-
suaded Ruiz that she was his daughter
by a former mistress. Ruiz finally adopted
her as his daughter. This led to an es-
arrangement with his family and he went to
live with the Laws woman. Later Bertha
introduced Wm. Laws, a bookmaker and
general sporting man, to her "father" as
her ''husband.' Ruiz lavished 10000 on
the woman, but she needed more, and act
ing under her guidance. Ruiz called on
Vice-Consul Preston. at Boston. and re-
quested the loan of $4,000. Preston cheer
fully complied and Ruiz and his adopted
daughter returned to New York, and she
proceeded to spend the money, which did
not last long, however. The conspirators
then concooted q scheme to raise more.
Ruiz states that in August Mrs. Laws
brought to him the two 81 900 TO, Qed notes.
and said Preston, knowing the consul gem
eral was embarrassed, had sent him
by mail two notes. Ruiz never
suspected them of being forgeries.
and at once signed them. A man named
Simon Epstein advanced money ON one of
the notes, and when it was pronounced q
forgery. he foreclosed a mortgage. which
had been given to protect him, on furniture
in Mrs. Laws house, and had the consul
general arrested on the charge of forgery.
Owing to the absence of important wit
nesses the case was adjourned till Wednes-
dav. and bail was fixed at 81, 1000. The CON
sul's'son offered security, but the Justice
could not receive it. Tomorrow, however,
the money will be deposited with the city
chamberlain, and Ruiz will be released. A
warrant was issued, and Mrs. Laws was ar
rested. to day.

ton to see if the interstate COM
mission would not force the railroads to
apply the California through rates to Utah
