0choco Review.

dead in his bed in the Prineville Hotel. and
the surrounding circumstances pointing to
suicide. an inquest was deemed necessary.
He came to Prinevilie on the 18th from
Marks creek, where he had been tending
sheep camp for I. S. Hamilton, and placed
himself under DIR. Belknap's treatment, be
beng afflicted with liver complaint. He
retired about o'clock Thursday night and
requested the landlord to furnish him with
glass and pitcher of water. Not getting
up for breakfast, Doom went to call him
about o'clock, and after calling several
times and receiving no answer, he called Dr.
Belknap. who entered the room through the
window, and found Wyler lying on the bed
face downward, apparently having been
dead several hours. A bottle of strych-
nine, recently opened. was found on
stand near the bed. W. W. Bramford tes-
titled that either on Wednesday or Thurs
day deceased stated that he wanted to send
bottle of strychnine to the sheep camp,
and requested Bramford to 90 the drug store
and get it for him, which he did. The con
tents of the bottle found in the room were
weighed and p grams were missing, The
jury not being fully satisfied. Drs. Belknap
and Center made an examination of the con
tents OF the stomach and found traces of
strychnine, whereupon the jury rendered
verdict of suicide.

Fine Piece of Work.

There is now in Kreft & Vause's paint
store an elegant pulpit tor the First
Christian church of The Dalles, made by
MIR. Saunders of this city from woods
brought 10 The Dalles from the island CT
Jamaica about three and half years ago,
by Elder J. W. Jenkins, who had charge
of mission work there for the Christian
church for many years The column is
made of lignum vitae, ornamentations
around the bottom OF brazallto, pigeon
wood, blood wood, and the upper supports
of the table of the same woods with the
cornice of candle wood and the freize of
cocoanut palm, and the capital from the
bread fruit tree. These different specie
of trees are susceptible of a high state of
polish, and when finished in oil will be
very beautiful in appearance. They grew
in close proximity Ia Mr.. Jenkins resi-
dence ON the island, and when he left
there he took them with him The arch
itectural design OF the pulpit is very at
Iraclive, and it will add very much TO the
beauty of the interior of the building.

a Love Feast.

An incident happened at the camp
meeting recently held at Mosier, which Is
good illustration of practical Christian
lty. The minister's sermon was on the
doctrine of forgiveness, and the language
used was very forcible and impressive
After the preaching services the gentle
man in charge extended an invitation for
all those willing to forgive their enemies
to come forward. Immediately two ad-
vanced to the altar, who had been bitter
enemies for long while over dispute in
matters relating to the school district in
that neighborhood, and they embraced in
the presence of the large congregation.
They humbiy asked the forgiveness of
each other, and with closed hands in
front of the pulpit, pledged lifelong
friendship. These were followed by
others, who settled long-standing quarrels
in the same Christian manner. The per-
son who related the incident TO US said
The scene was very affecting, and many
strong men who were not susceptible to
religious enthusiasm, shed tears ike chill
drep. 1t was truly feast of love and
good feeling, and had more beneficial
influence on the people than all the ser
mons preached and prayers offered.

Naval,Rams Are Dangerous.

LONDON, Aug 2S-Naval men and the
puolic have learned one important lesson
from some of the recent disasters at sea.
When the Camperdoaon ran down the
Victoria it was noticed that the CDmper-
doaon's ram was SO seriously damaged
that the ships safety was endangered.
The cruiser F0rthmore recently sunk
merchant vessel near the Islr of Wight.
Here, too, the damage of the warship's
ram was very serious, though the COLI
sion was but slight. In the recent French
naval mapeuvers the big batte- ship For
midable ran down an English cargo boat,
aud her ram was badly twisted. People
are beginning to ask whether The ram
may not be almost as dangerous to the
ship which bears it as to the ship which
is rammed. II is most certainly less
trustworthy weapon than most persons
have been led to suppose.

simply be so much paid out in the interest
of two toll roads" The Dalles TINES
MoUNTAINEER objects to this, Neverthe-
less it is true, for the same reason that
wheat is nearly 10 cents bushel more in
Albany than in The Dalles. Wool is al
ways higher here, and goods generally
cheaper, because our freights are cheaper
albany Democrat. Our cotemporary is
mistaken in its assertions. Wheat was pur
chased in this city last year at much
higher price than at Albany, and fully 5
cents more a bushel was paid. Wool is al
ways higher than in Willamette towns, ex
cept, perhaps, where mill owners pay
special price for choice lots. Regarding
the price of merchandise, our merchants
sell goods as cheaply as anywhere in Ore
gon, and in less than two years will have
ocean competitive rates with the east.

Cattle a nd Horse Thieves.

The following from the Elgin Recorder
furnishes corroborative evidence of the flcs
stated in these columns that band OF cat
tie and horse.thieves ply their retarious
business throughout Oregon, Washington
and Idaho: "Wallowa county stockmen
have been having considerable trouble re-
Gently over some cattle that were driven to
Walla Walla aud sold by parties to wnom
they did not belong. Sandy Thompson,
one of the prominent stockowners of the
county, followed the herd up and found
some cattle in the possession of the Walla
Walla buyers that belonged to parties in
Waliowa, SO he hastened homo and caused
the arrest of Bob Downey, the man who
sold the stock. Downey was given pre-
iminary hearing and placed under $500
bonds and when he was released skipped
.,ut, thus establishing his guilt without
reasonable doubt. In the meantime dele
cation of stockmen went to Walla Walla
and secured two of the stolen cattle, pass
ing through here with them Wedn esday."

AccidentaIiy shot,

Heppner Gazette: Word came down from
Ditch creek camp up in the mountains
th.t Miss Effie Fields had accidentally
shot herself while playfully handling a
22-calIbre rifle. Our reporter learned
from party, who had just returned from
camp, that the accident happened Mon
day. Miss Fields had just thrown out n
shell at the same time of reloading the
gun, which she IN some manner dis
charged while resting the muzzle on her
foot, the ball passing entirely through
just below the ball of the foot, and also
through the sole of her shoe. She very
coolly informed her friends that she had
shot herself, when the shoe was removed
and the wound dressed.

fatal. Wednesday, August %, at about

A. Guthrie, shot his little l2-year-old
brother, Ivan, while huntingi in Bailey's pas
ture, about one mile south of Junction
City, with shotgun, the shot taking eff
feet in the right side of his neck, severing
the muscles and portion of the jugular
vein and tearing the muscles and flesh
from the lower jaw. DR.. j. I. Royles per-
formed the surgical work, and he says the
boy is doing as well as could be expected
under the circumstances, with hopes of his
recovery. He was unconscious for the
first "a hours, but is beginning to come to
himself at this writing. Charlie says wher
he saw the bird he hauled up his gun and
it went off before he was ready.
