The M. E. church entertainment Sat-
urday evening will be long remembered
by those who attended it, not alone for
its intellectual enjoyment, but for a
dainty yet substantial supper prepared
by skilled hands. After supper an ad-
journment was taken from the base
ment to'the church proper and the ex-
ercises opened with selection by the
mandolin and guitar club. Archie Bar
nett then amused the audience with
'sThe Dutchman's Serenade.'' A ladies
quartette then sang "Annie Laurie"
The exquisite melody of this selection is
something grand, if the word is fitting
to com bination of female voices, for the
base is absent. It seemed to the writer
that he never before heard "Annie
Laurie" Mrs. M. E. French next sung
an old-time favorlte, "The Song That
Reached Ny Heart with much feeling
and expression. ''Genevra," highly
dramatic piece, capable of great elo-
cutionary power, was next admirably
given by Miss Martin. Mrs. Collins and
Miss Story then played sonata in D, a
difficult and musical selection. Mrs. E.
M. Wilson next gave a 10-minutes talk
on the Worlds Fair.'' This was pro-
foundly interesting from the beginning
to the close. and was ali too short to suit
her listeners. The lady is a minute OBJ
server, and her talk abounded in pride
of her country, patriotism and wit.
Misses Margaret Kinersly and Maude
Clark next sang an irresistably comic
song on ''What the Choir Sang About
the Bonnet" Miss Russell followed
with comic recitation on s.She Wanted
to Learn Elocution.' In this there is
ample field afforded for her abilities,
which it is needless to say, were inn
proved Miss Moore concluded the en-
tertainment with a solo, "Angus Nc
Donald which was given in the lady's
usual excellent voice.

a NEW YEARS TRAGEDY.
A Fatal Shooting Array at the Cas-
cade Locks.


John Cummings, a wood chopper at
the Cascades, working for Mr.. Stew
art, was shot Monday morning about s
O'Clock in his cabin, about mile and a
half from the station, by man named
John Hull, better known as Heavy
Jack" Cummings has been there about
three weeks and Hull about two months.
The shot entered just below the ribs on
the right side, and it is believed by the
attending physician, DIR. Candjana, to
have pierced the liver. The weapon
was 45 Colts.
The cabin was built by Cummings,
who sold it to Hull, and, with Cum
mings' partner, all three were baching
there. After the sale Cummings had
packed up his things and was leaving
early Monday morning, when he re-
turned for some purpose. Then it was
the shooting occurred. After the shoot
ing Hull hurried to the woods, where
Cummings' partner was working, and
surprised him with the remark:
''I'ye shot your partner
"What for?''
swell, he was a larger man than me
and had to do it,
'Well, you had better give yourself
up"
Hull apparently acted on the sugges-
tion, but instead went to the, cabin. In
the meantime Stewart had been in
formed by Cummings' partner of the
shooting and he went to the Cascades,
while the other went to the cabin. At
the cabin Hull was found bathing Cum
mings' head, and had previously placed
him on the bed and covered him up.
Soon afterwards Hull went to the sta
ton where he was arrested by Stewart
and is now in the county Jail at The
Dalles.
1t appears that Hull is mentally un-
balanced, as his actions at the Locks
have been of a queer nature. He de-
lighted in initiating the cowboy, and a
belt of cartridges and revolver and a
sombrero was an habitual affectation.
The wounded man was living at z
O'Clock last evening, but died this morn
ing.

The 40 Camp at the AIidwinter Fair.
Probably the most attractive feature
at the Midwinter exposition will be the
old log cabins in the 40 mining camp.
The proprietors of this enterprise have
secured the cabin that U. S. Senator
George G. Perkins built and lived in at
Thompson's Flat, Butte county. The
cabin now belongs to Major Frank Nc
LaughIin, of Oroville, on whose mining
property it now stands. Senator Per-
kins has given permission to exhibit his
old home, and has certified in writing
that he alone built and lived in the cabin
So years ago.
Another cabin that will certainly
catch the eye and awaken long slumber-
ing memories is the one built by, and in
which lived millionaire John w. Mac
kay. 1t was while he lived in this cabin
that Mackay made his first big strike.
He, also, furnished certificate that the
cabin is the genuine article.
These cabins, as well as those of Mark
Twain, Major Downie, the noted Bandit
Joaquin Muriatta and Alvinza Hayward,
will be turned into perfect museums,
wherein will be displayed relics of olden
times when mining was in its primitive
state

CLEVELAND AND THE AIR LINE

A. C. Cleveland, in his speech,
seems to be greatly interested in
the construction of railroads par
alleling and in competition with
the Central Pacific. He went to
the Legislature some years ago and
had a bill enacted compelling each
county through which his Air Line
should pass to contribute to his
company three thousand dollars
per mile OF road as it might be con-
structed, which would amount to
about one million and five hun
bred thousand dollars. The true
inwardness Of Cleveland, the Cen
trail Pacifc's lobbyist, getting the
subsidy has never been divulged to
the public. A few days ago we
were put in possession of the facts.
The scheme was planned, so we are
informed, by c. p Huntington, the
greatest railroad manipulation on
either continent. A year before
and at the time the subsidy was
granted there was great forward
move made by the Sioux City COM
pany to push its line to San Fran
cisco from the Missouri river. At
that time it was completed several
hundred miles out into Wyoming.
This road was being pushed rapid
ly westward. Ogden City was wild
with the prospect of its reaching
that city in Is months, and city
property went up to fabulous prices.
While the work continued Cleve-
land was busy in talking Air Line
and in securing subscriptions from
the San Francisco capitalists to
put his road on its legs, But for
some reason known to Mr.. Hunt
ington the building of the Sioux
City road collapsed, as every other
project to get a competing line to
San Francisco has collapsed. And
upon the stopage of this continent
al road, Mr.. Cleveland's Air Line
ceased to pulsate.
Mr.. Huntington, for fear that

are running over with the products
of the soil, and thousands of fami-
lies are on the verge of starvation.
What's the matter? They have
not money enough to buy the ne
cessities of life. Is it because of
there not being a tariff. Not to any
great extent. If we had free coin
age of silver thousands of miners
would find employment; and indi-
rectly hundreds of thousands of
people would be benefited. The
railroads would have ten times the
work to do, and the farmer would
find a ready cash market for his
produce at good prices. He would
not care then whether he paid a
few more cents pound for sugar
or SOC. more for wooden shirt or
not. The republican party has leg
isIated for England and the corpor-
atoms, bankers and trusts of this
country by reducing the amount OF
money in the country. The major
ity of the people of the country are
head over heels in debt, so is Uncle
Sam, and you never saw another
country in the world prosper which
did business so entirely upon the
credit system.
Having no money with which to
buy your dinner, when there are
plenty of good things in sight, is
far worse than being on a desert
with a pocket full of money and
not able to get a dinner. If you
had the money you could get where
there was something to eat. Other
wise, maybe not.
Protection is a good thing for the
country, there is no doubt, but
when your protection only goes far
enough to protect favored few, it
is worse than no protection. The
tariff question is an insignificant
one compared with the financial
question, and the republicans are
simply showing it before the people
to cover up their record on the sill
yer question. Therefore, vote for
a republican is vote thrown away
SO far as the free coinage Of silver
is concerned-it is worse, it is a
vote given directly to the enemies
of the great silver mining industry
of this county.
