and ordinances regulating the manu-
facture and sale of liquors.; to promote
temperance in the use of liquors. especi :
ally with those who are addicted to the
intemperate use thereof; to create and
maintain fund for the relief and aid of
the families of members in case of death
or disability. and to unite fraternally the
members of the association so that their
combined efforts may be devoted to the
purpose of public usefulness and ben
evidence"
The membership is composed of the
most influential saloon keepers of st.
Joseph.

a Result of whisky.

O'BRIEN, Wash, Msrch 2s.-At II 80
last evening, during barroom row that
occurred in O'Brien & Cummings saloon,
psrkeeper Mike Crawley put revolver
against the head of Richard Harm and
shot and instantly killed him. The muir
derer, after his victim fell, gazed on the
body a moment, and then, seeming to
come to a realization of his crime, turned
the revolver to his own head. He fired
three shots, missing twice, but the third
took effect. He breathed abou: an hour.
About twenty persons were present, all of
whom fled when Crowley fired the first
shot except two, John Hill and Harry
Hansen, who witnessed the suicide. The
murderer was single man 40 years old,
with no known relations except a brother
in New York. The victim was "a years
old, rancher at Orilla, and reputed to be
worth about $4,000. He leaves a wife
and four small children. Crowley was
generally liked, and had many friends.
He is supposed to have been crazed by
liquor, and had been drinking heavily the
past week. There was no enmIty between
the two men. The tragedy was but the
result of an indulgence in too much
drink.

Mrs. Pa-neil's Fortune.

LONDON, March 2S-From an authentic
source it is learned that the terms upon
which the Wood O'Shea will case was
settled are as follows: Mrs. Parnell OBJ
tains the whole of her aunt's freehold
property, which Is situated in Gloucester
and Suffolk counties, and is valued at
nearly 10000, also half of the e140.000
in cash and securities left by the testa-
trix. The other goes to the other li,igants.
Mrs. Parnell is required to give Captain
O'Shea, her former husband, halt lite
interest in her el,0OO,0O0. When Mrs.
Parnell and Captain O'Shea are both
dead this money is to be divided among
the children of their marriage. Tne
legal expenses of the settlement amount
ed to one-sixth of the entire property in
volved. Sir Charles Russell, Solicitor
General Clark. Sir Henry James and At
torney- General Webster each received
$1,000. Mrs. Parnells costs were e10.-
600, toward which she was granted $4,000
from her marriage settlement. The ex-
pepses of the other side were mainly met
by the wealthy brewer Courage, who is

the residences of Hon. W. b. BIggs, Meth.
odist church, and one or more other build
ings Four years ago we again visited the
place, during the political campaign, and
the hall in which speeches were made was
an unoccupied blacksmith shop. The place
had grown wonderfully since our first vIst {,
and last Thursday when we again stopped
at the town the progress in the past four
years was truly surprising.
On the hill in very slightly location is a
substantial two-story school building, upoer
excellent regulations, and presided by a
corps OF well-qualified teachers. This is
the first building that attracts attention,
and it is always important, in American
towns, to keep the school house prominent
and in the foreground. But, aside from
this there are hotels. stores. shops, church
es, and residences, all in good style of ar
chitecture. A bank has been organized,
and this, a brick structure, will soon be
erected. Contiguous as it Is to ia rich belt
of farming country, the future of Wasco is
bright, and with the advent of railroad 1t
will number thousands of residents where it
now numbers hundreds. A lodge of A. F.
and A. NJ was lately organized, and en- the
day OF our visit thriving lodge of X. of P.
was instituted. ,
Western hospitality has become proyer-
bal, and this characteristic Is fully exem-
plified in this community. That gentiiity
of conduct and generous care for the COM
fort of guests which are more qualities of
the heart than of the mind, one meets with
here, and there is such a cordiality In the
welcome extended that the occasion is rare
ly forgotten.
In the early morning, before the break Of
day, we left the little town, and driven at a
rapid rate down the dark and dreary canyon
by yeritable Hank Monk, we arrived at
the station on time for the west bound
train, feeling pleased with our short stay of
few hours in this charming little town,
and only regretting that the comfortable
carriages on the railroad could not be en-.
joyed the full distance from Wasco to The
Dalles.

Dufur Dispatch: This is apparently bad
year for political bosses. At the Republi-
can primaries, last week in The Dalles. Mr..
G. J. Farley, and two or three other would
be politicians, attempted to foist ring
ticket on the people, but the attempt met
with signal defeat. Only one of the twenty
seven upon their tickets succeeded in get
ting through, and this solitary exception
was a scratch. A few of the names ap-
peared on both tickets, but their election is
solely due to the fact that those who got up
a citizens ticket were willing to trust these
few in q convention. 1t is good and
healthy sign to see bossism thus cast aside;
and tine Republicans throughout Wasco
county have greatly strengthened their
party chances by so doing. ALI that is now
needed is to present ticket to the people
that will commend itself to the support of
all who favor good and economical govern
ment in puHNc affairs. The voice of the
people will be M heard In the land this
year, and 1t will be voice of triumph next
June

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Republican party OF Wasco
/. was never in better condition to secure
victory than during this campaign.
Every man on the ticket Is represen-
tative citizen, and bossism and fac
tional rule have been obliterated.
The resolutions adopted by the Re
publican convention to-day are in
harmony with good government, and
will receive the hearty endorsement of
the people. Republicans are in favor
of that policy which is for the best in
terests of the country, and always
oppose corporate greed and oppression.
Hon. Binger Hermann, will very
likely be nominated for congress by
the state convention, and will be re-
elected next June. The Willamette
people have no capable material for
congressional honors except the indie
fatlguable Binger, and, therefore, as a
matteriof necessity. he can succeed
himself as often as he DESIRES
The talk about war with England
is premature, and it is not at all prob
able that the English government will
involve herself in difficulty with the
United States to protect Canadian seal
poachers. These two Anglo-Sax ma
tions can settle their differences with
out appealing to the arbitrament of
the sword.
The caucus rule is distasteful to
voters, because it follows in the line
with bossism and ring rule. On diff
ferent occasions the party attempting
to put these methods into operation
hos been defeated at the polls, for
Americans believe in the freedom of the
ballot, and in representative bodies full
filling the wishes of those who elected
them. This cannot be done while
machine methods are being employed,
and these are very much condemned
by all fair minded citizens.
The ticket nominated last Saturday
is one that should receive the support
of every Republican in Wasco county.
It was the result of the defeat Of
bossism and ring rule at the primaries,
and every candidate is well qualified
for the office named. There should
be hearty support of the nominees
in every portion of the county, and
every one should be elected by large
majority. Between now and June no
time should be wasted, and every .ciJi-
zen interested in the success of the
party should do his utmost to secure
the election of the entire ticket.
The reply of Salisbury does not ad-
NIT of the Interpretation that Is gen
orally given to it, and no other con-
clusion can be drawn than that the
British government is willing to abide
by the decision of the arbitration.
Of course, diplomatic language is SO
worded that it carries double mean
ing; but the people of Great Britain
and Ireland are behind the premier,
and he can do nothing without their
consent. The people rule in the
British empire, and the rights of
Americans, we are satisfied, will be
Only respected. Both countries are
constitutional, deriving their powers
from the people, and these must be in
harmony before the "dogs of war" are
let loose.

Inland from the railroad nine miles from
Grant station and eight from Biggs is To-
Gated the town of Wasco, surrounded by as
fine agricultural country as there Is ID
Eastern Oregon. Leaving the railroad at
either of these points the traveller IS taken
up winding canyon IN vehicle, and,
when he reaches the highlands, from the
basalatic bluffs and sand-swept shores of
the Columbia. picturesque scene Is pre-
sented to his view rarely witnessed on the
American continent. Behind him the
bright line of the great river of the west
finds its way to mother ocean, and farther
away the green Klickitat hills are outlined
against the snowy peaks of the Simcoe
mountains in the background. The tlnts
change according to the hour of day or sea-
son of the year. In the early morning or
at sunset, golden shadows chase and melt
into each other, while at noontide a deep
greenish blue color envelopes hill, mountain
and canyon. This Is the picture painted In
spring, but when summer suns have parched
except the black, .rock.ribbed sides OF the
mountains, with an occasional rift of snow,
dlscernible for miles in this altitude. This
Is the view upon which the back is turned,
but in front, as far as the vision can reach,
in any direction, green fields with small
cluster of trees by the banks of the little
streams can be seen. 1t is Arcadia, and the
oozy cottage of the farmer-or, as he Is
termed in Spanish parlance. rancher gives

with spots of beautiful green. Except the
few willows on the banks of streams, or
an occasional orchard, trees are un-
known; but in few years this will change,
and we believe the home of the farmer will
be shadowed in summer and sheltered in
winter by protecting groves of trees. These
plains are wind.swept at all seasons of the +
year. In the spring and summer high I
