Two Supposed Cases of Cholera.

ToNAwANDA, n. Y, Oct. Two new
cases of cholera are reported in the
house at Ironton. where the Kalmas,
father and son, died, and the excitement
here is intense. In a little four-room
house there live nine people who came
to this country three months ago, and
were employed at the iron works here.
Frank Kalmas died nine hours after he
was attacked, and his son died of the
same disease after an illness even
shorter. This morning it is reported
Kalmas' wife and an Austrian named
Falisch are down with the disease, but
in milder form. The health author
tiles are greatly disturbed and have
asked for instructions from the state
board of health. The house is quaran-
tined, and the bedding and furniture in
the rooms occupied by the Kalmas
burned. A lot of mail from Europe was
found in the house, and it was also de-
stroyed. D. Jayne said today that the
disease had every appearance of genuine
cholera, but thinks it may be sporadic
cholera. The people in the house, he
said, had been eating tainted meats and
rotten vegetables. The surroundings are
generally of an uncleanly character.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Oct. THE firm
of Gawman & Erb, of this city, is con-
structing chest as a receptacle for the
original Declaration of Independence,
the draft of the same made by Thomas
Jefferson, the constitution of the United

legal documents which are to be exhibit

put on in abundance, are of gold leaf.
A shelf lined with velvet is placed be-
low the upper drawers. The latter are

guard composed of several army officers

Convention OF straight Democrats.

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. THE state con-
vention of straight democrats meets in
this city today. 1t is expected that 500
delegates will be in attendance. 1t is
not the intention to nominate a state
ticket, but to denounce the action of the
nominating the state ticket OF the peo-
ple's party and practically abandoning
the democratic state organization.
Resolutions will be adopted declaring
for the national platform and ticket.
The democratic state central committee
met here yesterday. The first district
congressional committee appeared be-
fore it and urged that the state commit
tee demand that the peoples party with
draw the name of Fred ]. Close, the
peoples party candidate tor congress, so
that Ed. Carroll, the democratic nomi-
nee, may have clear field against the
republican candidate. Delegates from
the first district to the state convention
were induced to vote for the indorse-
ment of the peoples party state ticket
with the understanding that Close
would be withdrawn. The straight
democrats claim that fusion in Kansas
has been nullified by the action of the
peoples party and that the state peo-
ple's party ticket will certainly be de-
feated, as the democrats will vote the
republican ticket.

window of a clearinghouse where many
non-union men lodge, about 2 O'Clock

serious than bad scare.

SAN FRANCIsCo. Oct. "A special re-

from the Kings river canyon country.
The paper will print today an interview
between this reporter and Evans and
Sontag, which discredits the recent
reports of their having started for
the coast and elsewhere. 1t says in sub
stance: They are both we'll, are in an
inaccessible place, and have ample pro-
visions. The only wound Evans received
in his late fight at Young's cabin was
Craze flash wound over the eyebrow
from McGinnis' pistol. Sontag was shot
through the fieshy part of the arm, but
the wound is now healed. They deny that
they robbed the train, say they can prove
their innocence by an alibi, and claim
that all the shooting they have
done has been in self-defense

LET Us Spray"

Grants Pass Courier. Fruit-growers
of Southern Oregon must make up their
minds to use London purple and Paris
green if they wish to save their fruit
from insect pests. The notion that our
climate does not agree with the Goblin
moth, the woolly aphis or any other
insect, is wrong one. Anything that
fourishes in any part of the world will
thrive here, except, perhaps, hop lice.
which have hitherto found our summers
too dry for their constitutions. Every
year the ravages of the Goblin moth ap-
pear more widely distributed, and the
spray-pump is the only antidote. Let
us spray.

The Cost of Gowns.

Chicago News. 1t is reported that Il
dispute has arisen as to the price of the
most costly dresses. A Connecticut lady,
it seems, has acquired certain celebrity
at cost of 81 800, which she invested in
a single gown. A Chicago authority re-
plies with pride that bride of this city
had wedding gown which cost 81, ,7C0-
rather expensive when it is considered
that wedding gowns are not of much
use. Another authority, also local,
mentions a ball gown that cost 81 900,
and still other gowns-cheap ones
costing $500 or $500. By using system
and energy no doubt all these figures
could easily be beaten. There was once
rumor of a society woman who wore SO
much jewelry that two detectives were
secured to dance in every quadrille with
her. Had she been consumed in fire
while wearing her ball dress it would
have paid better to receive insurance.
not for herself but for her apparel. IP
New FORK it is said to be customary for
ladies to retire from the festal scene at
regularly recurrent intervals and count
up with their maids, who keep an in
ventory and price list. If over $500
worth is missing they go home, regard
ing the assemblage as unsafe. These
| little facts are mentioned to encourage
those who have hitherto been unable to
get above the 81 900 mark. 1t is really
not difficult if plenty of money is handy.

THE AFTERMATH.

Last Installment of the Contributions
From the Oregon Press Association.
Col. Eddy in his report of the National
Editorial association omitted some very
important facts. Some of the members
would like to know where he and
Doughty spent their evenings.-Watson.
Clevelands election is sure.-Noltner.
If you are Workman you want the
Workman.-Burkhart.
Yamhill sends greeting to the Inland
Empire. Open the riyer.-Westerfield
We need Regulator to fix our scale
of dvertising.-Stanley.
We are delighted with our reception
by the citizens of The Dalles, and are
enjoying ourselves. The most of US are
surprised at the Importance of the city
as trade center, as we find here very
large stocks of goods, many of which
would do credit to much larger cities
than The Dalles.-Chas. Nickel.
Better late than never.-Cradlebaugh
Keep my pictures while go to Cello
to catch asalmon.-Wolden.
''We are for the protection that pro-
tects and the reciprocity that recipro-
cates,'' said Chairman Wilson at Chi
cago, and so should the Inland Empire
say to the webfoot division of Oregon
Eddy.
"That 11th hour exhibit I repeat,
''takes my eye" It is indeed very good.
If that is the 'skim- milk" as I have
heard it called in The Dalles, what was
the cream? The answer comes from
Portland, stating that II out of IS ex-
hibits of Wasco county fruit-growers re-
ceived first premiums at the Industrial
Exposition. Now, when l consider the
000,000-pound wool clip, the possible
wheat shipment this year aggregating
l ,250, 900 bushels, the number of horses,
cattle and sheep annually grown in the
mayor who gave US the freedom of the
city, the handsome and cultivated
women, assisted by the dutiful, beautiful
and charming girls, who met us at the
Cascade Locks last Tuesday and served
US with such an elegant Iunch-I say
When consider all these, together with
the most cordial reception of the Oregon
pencil-pushers by the press of The Dalles
and the citizens thereof generally, then
it may be said that, as a fraternity, we
need new set of adjectives to give ade-
quate expression to our delight at being
here and of our appreciation of the ex-
cellent treatment we have received
