GACoRREsposDENT in to-day's LED.
GER makes a suggestion that should
receive consideration. The writer
believes it would afford a source OF
one days amusement for the peo-
pie and bring a large crowd to Mex,
leo if all of Audrain's track and
show horses were brought together
at the Fair Grounds for a free show
some day early this fall. The LED,
GER is in favor of the effort being
made. Let the public see all our
horses together. 1t would be a
grand sight and would add to the
big reputation Mexico and Audraln
county already possess.

The Lesson of the Recent Panic

The Lesson OF the Recent Panic.
The lesson taught by the panic
of 1898, however, is not that the
United States lacks the power te
stand alone among civilized nations
in her financial methods. 1t is
something far deeper, far more
important. The panic has proven
the danger to ourselves of having
two currencies, one which other
nations will accept, and another
which passes only among ourselves.
1t is folly of the blindest sort to
shut our eyes to facts, and the fact
taught by this panic is that just as
long as every America dollar is
not worth one hundred cents every.
where in the civilized world just SO
long is.there a danger that Ameri-
cans will themselves be distrustful
of the credit of their government.
1t would not be easy to count the
cost of this panic, but it may be
safely said it has been one of the
most expensive financial operations
Americans ever engaged in.-From
"The Business Outlook" by Charles
Wilson, President of the New
York Consolidated Stock and Pc
troleum Exchange, in North Ameri-
can Review for October.

and buy hame strings and shoe

"We let our manure 60 to waste

"We buy garden seed in the spring
and cabbage in the winter.
"We let our lands grow up in
weeds and buy our brooms.
"We let the wax out Of our pine

Anthracite Coal.

A dispatch from Olympia, WASH, re-
lates discovery, which, if true, means
unbounded prosperity to this coast. 1t
is as follows:
civilian Packwood has arrived in
this city, bringing with him samples of
anthracite coal. 1t was as hard and
bright as new metal. The vein, from
the outcroppings of which the specimens
were taken, is % feet thick, with three
veins above and two below it, each vein
being separated with ledge of sand
stone from 20 to 40 feet in thickness.
The land on which the coal was discov-
cred is within the reservation recently
made by the government at the base of
Mount Rainier. It is in Lewis county,
just southeast of the mountain, and the
railroad now building to South Bend
will pass within mile of the coallands. {"

They Enjoy One relephone.


Indians are fast falling into the ways
of their white brothers. The latest evil
dence of that fact is given by the Tekoa
Blade, which says: ''The siwashes
around Tekoa are good patrons of the
telephone. Nearly every day an Indian
calls at the telephone Office and wants to
talk to 'siwash at Spokane They care
not to whom they talk 30 long as they
get to use the phone, and cheerfully y
pay the 80 cents charged for conversa-
ton. Some time ago one called at the
Office and wanted to talk to an Indian at
Spokane. 1t was after 7 p. m. and no
Indian could be found in that city.
The noble red man was bent on talking,
however, and the operator at Spokane
entertained him for a few minutes, when
he paid his fine and departed, wearing a
broad grin of satisfaction"

Billy and Dick.

R. o. Bates on Tuesday and Wednes-
day evenings will tell the thrilling story
of his escape from Andersonville prison.
Every man, woman and child who can
do so should hear it. It is a story of
self-sacri6ce, patriotism and endurance,
which in fiction would be designated in
credible. But truth is stranger than
fiction, and "Billy" carries with him all
necessary documents to show that he is
one of the two men who went through
the rebel prisons, was reduced from 165
pounds to 59A, actually weighed by
Abraham Lincoln, was shot three times
by the commander of the prison, and
kept promise to see him hung. Billy
is not a dead hero, having in this re-
spect the advantage claimed by the liv-
ing coward, and the story is told from
his own lips in a modest manner, with
its wealth of patriotism, pathos and
happy ending, which keeps the audi
ence laughing and crying by turns.
"Dick" travelled with him for seven
years, but is now in Vineland, N. j.,
having suffered the loss of leg and an
arm through his experiences. An affec-
ton exists between these two men
which is perhaps unequaIlcd on the
earth.
Mr.. Bates always gives 35 per cent of
the receipts to some deserving organiza-
ton of the town. People should come
in for miles to hear this remarkable and
historic lecture.

A New Pest.

A new fruit pest has appeared along
the Columbia in the vicinity of Uma-
tilla.. State Fruit Inspector Jessee says
of it: "From the knowledge could
obtain am inclined to believe it is a
blossom moth. 1t is about the size of a
house fly, but without wings, and is the
most hideous-looking insect ever saw.
1t works in the buds on apple trees, and
seems to touch nothing else. Just
shake tree slightly and thousands
of them will fall to the ground. Over
300 trees, it is reported, have been killed
in that section this season by this pest.
1t is something that has never before
appeared in this section"

MARKS OF FRIENDSHIP.
The Grange Have Right to Thank
Whom They Please.

The CHRONICLE, without the customary
aid of the proper committee, to whom is
delegated the duty of informing the peo-
pie, through thenewspapers, of the COM
ing meeting of the Grange, secured from
other sources all the information con-
cerning same that was needful, and hired
and paid a competent reporter among
the Grangers to report the proceedings,
printing and distributing among them
gratuitously fifty copies. each night of
the session. For these valuable services
resolution was drawn up especially
thanking THE CHRONICLE. The resolu-
ton passed in this form and if it does
not appear on the records has been
eliminated without authority. We
further believe that the Grangers are
fully competent to pronounce upon who
render them the best services, and we
certainly believe they have the right to
especially thank those whom they con-
slider worthy of such especial mark of
friendship. Nor have they anything to
be ashamed of by such action. They
should not be expected to lie about it,
or thank anybody who has done nothing
for them. As matter of fact they did
thank the Mountaineer, but especially
thanked THE CHRONICLE. This was fit
ting. The secretary of the Grange fur
nished the minutes of the meeting to
the Mountaineer without trouble or cost
to that paper, avoiding the other offices
without good reason. THE CHRONICLE
then hired a Grange reporter, paying
him for such services, and furnishing
fifty papers free nightly. The Grange,
considering these facts, could scarcely
do less than mark THE CHRONICLE. for
especial favor, and we do not believe
they will suffer us to be given the lie.

A Great sermon.

The sermon of Rev. Whistler at the
Methodist church last night was the fin
est effort of the kind ever made in The
Dalles. It was more than a sermon,
having all the fascination of delightful
lecture, the superior kind of delight
found in grand thoughts clothed in
beautiful language. The flag was brought
up and Mr.. Whistler gave eulogy which
stirred the fires of patriotism in every
heart present capable of understanding
language. He discussed the questions
of the day in a mastery manner riv-
citing the attention of large audi
ence from the beginning to the end.
Nothing like it was ever approached
here, was the universal verdict. Pres
ent on the stand were R. o. Bates, Rev.
Clapp of Portland, Rev. Curtis, and
Rev. Taylor.
