Weather-The temperature was slight

was excessive in the Columbia and Walla

other sections. The first portion of the
week was warm but terminated cool. The
average sunshine occurred. Frosts oc

Crops-In the interior and southeastern
counties bloom has not SO far advanced
as to suffer injury from frosts Forward
trees are commencing to bloom. Bloom
in the Columbia river and Walla Walla
valleys Is slightly later than the average
season. herries, peaches, plums, april
cots and strawberries are IN bloom.
Frosts have injured peach bloom slightly
in this section. Fruit and grain prospects
continue excellent. Many new orchards
are being planted in many sections. The
greatest activity IN this respect is notice
able in the vicinity of Hood River. In
the setting out of new orchards the apple
tree predominates. Peach tree planting
throughout this section receives little en-
Plums and prunes are suit
fclently hardy, consequently popular
fruit in the Columbia river valley.
Seeding spring grain Is being forced to
a close In many localiues. The Umatilla
county farmers appear to be leading other
sections IN seeding spring grain; there is
much yet to be done in Wasco county.
Growth of wheat and grass continues un-
checked, its color dark green and Its ap-
pearance vigorous. The acreage of grain
has increased in the interior and eastern
counties, while in the Columbia river
counties it has decreased upon the intro

MANY depend upon it solely for their

COW Ordinance suspend. d.

The COW ordinance has been suspended
until July lst, and members of the bo-
vine species may roam at large at the
dictation of their own sweet will. This
may be agreeable to the instinct of the
animal but it is not at all conducive to
the flow of the milk of human kindness
in the breasts of ordinary human beings
who attempt to WOO the silent goddess
during the dark hours night. As cows
will have the privilege to browse around
gardens until the first OF July, we hope
the owners will have sufficient considera-
ton for the happiness of their neighbors
not to attach bells to the necks of these
milk producers, the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of
which drive sleep from drowsy eyelids
and cause feelings to be aroused that are
not in harmony with the most angelic
feelings that should be possessed by the
weary denizens of this mundane sphere.

that town, and considerable interest Is
taken in the D. N. g. The captain says
the prospects for fruit crop are very en-
couraging, with the exception of peaches,
which will be very light on the uplands.
On the river bank there may be good
crop of these, the conditions being more
favorable thaa on higher attitudes. The
severity OF the winter caused great dam
age to this specie of fruit, which requires
mild weather aud constant moisture. In
Hood River valley the principal export
will be strawberries, and the plants ap-
pear thrifty and with favorable weather
Will produce abundantly.

interesting Facts.

In the year of 1860 our woolen manu-
facturers used 9S,379,7S5 pounds OF
greasy wool in that year. In 1890 they
consumed 4s4 4,OOO,O0O pounds.
Protection did it!
In 1880 Great Britain consumed 300,-
100000 pounds, three times as much as
we did; but in 1890 it consumed but
100000, 900 pounds of wool, only Sper
cent more than we did.
Now let the man who advocates free
trade remember that in 1850 G eat Brit
ain used three times as much wool as we
did that year, but by 80 years protection
our manufacturers of wool increased $40
per cent, while Great Britain only in
creased 81 per cent.
Free trade did it.

Common COUNCIL.

A special meeting of the council was
held yesterday afternoon, at which was
present full board.
The object of the meeting was to look
after the plans of the Jail and see if they
could not be changed, IN order to avert
an injunction suit threatened by some
citizens.
On motion the chair was ordered to ap-
point committee of two o. three to call
on Me:srs. j. W. French and s. L. Brooks,
they being the citizens who objected to
the present plan, and ascertain what they
desired in the matter, that the contractor
figure the cost of changes in the mean
time, and that the gentlemen be notified
that the council would meet to consider
their grievances at 2 O'Clock the same
evening.
The chair then appointed T. A. Hud-
son, L. E. Grove and w. H. Butts as such
committee.
On motion the recorder was instructed
to draw up an ordinance to annul and
suspend Ordinance No. 202 until July !,
1894, being the one for impoundIng live

dered placed on file.

session. to annul and suspend the i'm
pounding ordinance, was read and passed.
Hon. j. B. Condor then addressed the
council in the matter of the grievance in
relation to the city Jail, and stated that
the contemplated CRATES on the south side
of the Jail would be nuisance to the
community, as it would allow the noise
and confusion caused by prisoners lncar-
cerated to be heard by persons on the
streets and residents in the vicinity.
Messrs. J. w. French and s: l.. BROOKS
then followed, giving qtterance to the
same opinion.

Boiler Explosion.

An explosion occurred Tuesday after
noon at Doble's saw mill about four mile
west of Weston. Matt Lusk, engineer, was
severely injured. Fortunately there were
no others in the engine room at the time
of the accident, consequently the engineer
was the only one suffering any injury.
just before the explosion took place the
room was crowd. d with employees of the
mill and mad the boiler burst three minutes
sooner, the result would doubtless haye
been the death OF several
The injured man was taken first to Wes-
ton and then brought on the evening
freight to Pendleton, where accommoda.
tons in the county hospital were found.
His condition was very serious and an ex-
of the nature of the injuries
coused the physician to regard them as very
serious. The left leg was broken and some
severe scalding experienced.

impressed the country that the Wilson
bill will be knocked out slick and c.ean
and with it confidence has returned in q
great measure. This is shown by the
fact that recently W. S. Brown, of Neb.,
bought 5000 head of sheep in Morrow
county at fair figures. Sam Palmer is
here and has bought 1900 head and
wants 1900 more. J. w. Watson, of
Nevada, is also here and wants from
5000 to 5000 head. 1t is learned from
reliable sources that L. L. Ormsby will
come in soon to buy sheep. All in all
the outlook is more encouraging be-
cause the people have become convinced
that the day of tariff tinkering is past.
Under democratic administration, no
better democrat could be in the United |
States senate than Hill, and the more of |
that sort the better.

the East Oregonian as follows: Everyone

at first loaned at II per cent per month.
an , when the time came for pay ing up, re-
walls were made IN many instances at 23
per cent. Creditors are now threatening to
foreclose or exact payment of per cent
every thirty days. This rate of interest is
of course rulnous and makes it life and
death struggle to retain possession OF prop.

Death of Mrs. Geo. H. VILLA m 8
A Portland paper yesterday gave the sor-
rowful intelligence of the death of Mrs.
George H. Williams, wife of Ex Attorney
General Williams of that city. the paper
says:
Death entered the beautiful home of Ex-
United States Attorney General George 81.
Williams, on E ghteenth and Couch streets,
at 10 o'clock this morning, when his wife.
Mrs. Kate Ann Williams, passed to eternal
rest
Mrs. Williams had been very intel &C.
tual lady, who, prior to coming to this city,
where she had resided many years, had
been very prominent in society in Wash
ington City and New York. While her
husband was attorney general in the cabi-
net Of President Grant the decea>ed lsdy's
power attracted the most notable and ac-
complished society of the nations capital
to her drawing rooms.
Deceased was united in marriage to Judge
WI ioh1S ooouS ~ years dSu- lucy "ero
both residents of Portland at that time.
After Judge Williams was elected United
States senator she removed to Washington,
where she lived for ten years or more.
About 1880 Mr.. and Mrs. Williams returned
to Portland, and have since made this city
their permanent home.
For some years after returning to Port
land, Mrs. Williams was q conspicuous and
leading figure in social circles. Ait r b..
coming a Jealous believer in the new aud
peculiar religious doctrines, Mrs. Williams
withdrew from fashionable society, and de-
voted her entire time and energies TO works
of charity. to the reading of the Scriptures,
to the disseuir alton of the faith she so
earnestly espoused. to prayer, to meditation,
to prophesying and to exhortatian.
One of the cardinal doctrines Of the new
faith was that the puritication of the body
and heart from al. physical and moral i'm
purities could be solely ACCOMPLISHED by
fasting aud prayer. In this peculiar doc
trIne she became the high priestess and
spiritual leader. As ia well known, Mrs
Williams had number of followers and
imitators, who like herse.f 'pas ed through
the wilderness, ,aand for the space of forty
days or more tasted little else but bread
and wine

Jealous w,re Makes a scene.

CHICAGO, April 19-During the per-
formance at the Chicago opera~heuse
last night, jealous wife. handsome,
young and we'll dressed, marched to her
husbands sea-, and with parssol peun-
ded two stylishly dressed women with
him. Then the wife smashed her hus-
band in the face, grabbed his coat collar,
yasked him out Of the seat, and marched
him down the aisle and out to the side-
walk. The names of the parties are not
known. The house was crowded, and
much excitement was caused.
