The fifth annual picnic Of the Gesdn9
Vereia Harmonic, of this city. was held
yesterday at the grounds near Mosier. At
and IL o'clock the Regulator left her
wharf, and each time carried a fair list Of
passengers. The day was all that could be
desired for outdoor sports and amusements,
aud these were enjoyed very much. Sack
races, pot tapping. foot bali, base ball
and numerous other athletic games were
indulged in. and merry feeling seemed
to pervade all. Our fellow citizens of Ger

manner in which to ''drive dull care away. ,
and enjoy that recreation SO necessary to
BODY and mind. Everything passed of
very agreeably. and nothing occurred to
mar the pleasure of the occasion. There
were we'll filed baskets of provisions, and
those who attended were bouDtifully fed
The po>tponement kept some away, and
others, by reason of the high water, were

pn,,,c scboo1 exercises.

The exercises of the public school at the
Baldwin opera house Saturday night were
very interesting, and, notwithstanding the
panic, every number of the program was
rehearsed. 1t was very apparent from the
manner in which the children performed
their parts that the teachers devoted great
attention to them, and had carefully drilled
them IN tone and gesture. Although very
nervous from the fright the little boys and
girls braYely stood before the audience, and,
apparently. with GOODNESS. acted thei. parts,
Great credit is due the children, and also
their tutors, for the successful manner in
which-the exercises passed off. There were
about 700 present, and long before the hour
Of beginning the performance persons were
at the door anxious to gain admission. As
soon as the doors were op. ned, the rush fol
seats began, and continued until the hal
was well crowded.

Qualfty in Meats.

At the Ontario station an experiment
has Just been closed showing the value of
quality in meat. Two calves were se :
lected and fed until they were tive years
old. One weighed 1895 pounds at the
age mentioned and the other ,215
pounds. The first brought $71.70 in the
open market when sold, and the second
S33.49. Why this astonishing difference
in price when there. was only difference
of 80 pounds in live weight 1t arose
from difference In quality. The first
was Devon grade and the second q
scrub. Both were fed literally from the
day of birth, and the difference in the
cost of production was only SO IL. The
gains per day we're 1.78 pounds in the
first instance and 1.67 in the second !;
hence we may inter that the lack of
quality does not always imply inability
to make reasonably good gains in weight
but that the character of meat made is
of far greater moment than the quantity
OF the same.

A church Dlspuse.

,CHEHAL1s, Wash, May 26.-J. Beattie,
the preacher populist, from Boisfort. who
stabbed Constable Ward near that town
a short time ago, had his hearing before
Justice Painter this week. A great many
witnesses were brought to town, none OF
whom had witnessed the affray, and .sev
eral of whom we're four or five miles
away at the time 1t took place. At the
conclusion of the trial the justice dis
charged Beattie and taxed the costs 10
the complaining witness. The row grew
out of a dispute over church matters. and
was participated in by R V. McCash,
another preacher, who was in company
with Ward. In summing up, Judge
Painter passed severe structures upon
those persons who bring such matters In
to court With the idea that they can be
re e.enged at the expense of the pubic,
and said he regretted that McCash as
well as Ward, was not party to the suit
that he might be compelled to pay share
of the costs.

The Gang Located.

A young man named sigman, who re-
sides near Dufur, rode into the city today
and gave the inform ,tion that Hawthorne
had been seen in that place this morning.
He came into town for medicine and a
doctor, sta ing that one of HIS companions
had accidentally shot himself while hauling
his revolver from bis pocket, the ball enter
ing the groin. Sigmau recognized Haw
thorne, and as quickly as possible rode to
this city and informed the sheriff of the
fact. Deputy Phirman and posse left soon
after noon for Dufur, from which place
they will branch out in search of the gang.
1t is learned that the three young men are
camped in Dry Hollow, near Dufar, and it
is presumed by the time our citizens reach
there the gang viii be surrounded by per-
sons in the vicinity who are acquainted
with the facts of the robbery and escape.

At a Higher tribunal.

News was brought to this city yesterday
morning that Hayes, one of the robbers Of
Mays Groves store, was found dead at q
camp in the mountains about fifteen miles
from Dutur. The posse, who left this city
Saturday, consisting.of Deputy j Il. Phir-
man, George Joles, G. VS. Runyan, Ralph
Gibbons, Frank Klein and Otis Savage, on
arriving at Dufur. found the facts to be
about as follows: Hawthorne came into
town about o'clock Saturday morning, de-
string medicine and surgical attendance for
one of his comrades, whom he claimed had
wounded himself in deawing his pistol from
his pocket. He stayed in town until IL
o'clock, during which time he tried to per-
suade the doctor to accompany him to. the
camp; also gave particular directions how
to find his companion. Soon after he left
party OF men well armed drove out of town
In wagon, and about o'clock found the
dead body of Hayes in guloh wrapped
In his blankets with his revolver BY
his side. A bullet hole was found in
his abdomen, near the groin. and the skull
had been fractured on top of the head bya
blow apparently from q dull instrument.
he had been dead some time, as the stencil
was hardly bearable. This place was fully
fifteen miles from the town. up the creek,
and near the snow-line. There were eyi-
dences that the party had camped there for
some time, and the tracks showed that they
had recently left. No sign of Hawthorne
was seen after he left Dufur, and it was
very evident that he had struck out in
different direction. Some of the party
camped there that night, intending as soon
as daylight Sunday to follow the robbers.
Coroner Eastwood sent instructions to the
justice OF the peace at Dutur to hold the in.
quest, and jury was empaneIled yesterday,
who proceeded to the scene and ascertained
the facts as nearly as possible. Hayes must
have been dead when Hawthorne rode into
Dnfur, aud it is a matter of conjecture
whether he was killed accldeutlly or by
Hawthorne himself. The high stage of de-
would preclude the idea of
recent death, and the blow on the head
would indicate a conflict.
II Hawthorne had rode to the camp he
would have been captured, dead or alive, as
there were determined men in the party
that left Dufur, who had made calculations
how to accomplish his arrest with the least
possible bloodshed. At any rate, it may
be confidently expected that he aud Rowe
will soon be arrested, as, aside from the
party on their tracks who left the camp In
the mountains yesterday morning, there
are others who will thoroughly soour the
country in the vicinity Of Tygh. Wapinitia

SEATTLE, May 25.-Eighty-four
"Wealers" were put on the defense today
before Judge Hanford. charged with
capturing train at Yakima, May 10.
The prosecution connected the prisoners

suit was that four men were discharged; !;
IS sent to the Pierce county Jail tor 10
days; one to the King county Jail for a
like period, and 10 TO the King county
Jail, and Al to the United States penlten
tiary at McNeill's island for 20 days.

exception of three or four, some of whom
are wounded and in the hospital at Yak
lima.

Bat,z Foand Guilty.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The senatorial
investigating committee submitted its
report to the senate today. Buttz is
found guilty of offering bribe. despite
his denial, and Senators Kyle and Hun
ton are exenerated The committee
finds that ABuuz offered Hunton's son q
contingent fee OF $4,000 to induce his
father to vote against the tariff bill, and
that he also approached KYLE with q
proposition that $14 600 would be paid
the senator if he would vote against the
bill and informed Kyle that the money
was in the hands Of certain bankers and
capitalists of New York city. The rev
port adds that there Is 10 evidence to
show the truth of Buttz' statement to
Kyle and others that fund existed to
defeat the tariff bill. and that even Buttz
denied that he had made such state
ments. The report concludes with the
statement that the committee believes
Buttz to be wholly untrustwerty.

A RQntC.

At the public school exercises SATURDAY.
night panic occurred, but fortunately no
serious results followed. One or two mum.
bers had been rehearsed, when bench on
which a number were seated in the rear Of
the hall, fell with crash. creating consid.
erable excitement among those present.
This was quieted down by several In the
audience rising and explaining the cause Of
the disturbance. when the sound Of break.
ing glass was heard, and fears were enter
tanned that the building had collapsed.
This, together with an unwarranted scream
of FIRE, made the people almost frantic, and
it was all that several cool heads could do
to keep the audience from rushing pell NELL
to the doors. Several women aud children
gained the sidewalk in very nervous :cou-
dition. but, when they learned that nothing
strious had happened. became calm and
collected. The teachers acted heroically in
caring for their pupils, and one gathered
her scattered flock from several blocks dis
tant. Miss Minnie Michel. the assistant
principal, received severe sprain OF TIE

children under her charge. She bad taken
them out of the dressing rooms when the
cry of fire was raised, bot in holding two of
them. the crowd pushed her down, and in

One boy had his hand cut slightly by
broken glass, but aside from this and the
extreme nervous shock no injury resulted.
1t Is reported that the glass was broken by
boy bent on mischief, and il this is true
his act cannot be too severely censured.
The building had been thoroughly examined
by mechanic and found to be perfectly
safe, and the panic was caused by ground
less fears. There had been 90 many com.
