Daring safe Robbery.

The most daring robbery ever committed
in tie town Dufur happened last night,
| and in the store of Johnston Bros, the
leading merchants of that place. This
morning, about 5 o'clock, when these gen.
tlemen opened their place of business they
were surprised to find the interior in very
wrecked condition. The large iron door of
the Hall safe had been blown about six or
eight feet distant against desk, which it
had nearly completely demolished. On ex-
amlning further they found clear evidence
of the robbery. The safe had been bored
into from the top, and in this hole had been
placed very heavy charge of powder. 1t
could not be definitely ascertained at what
time the robbery had taken place, but the
report of the discharge was heard soon after
midnight by persons in the town. Sacks of
wheat and -four had been placed around the
safe to deaden the sound, and cordwood be-
hind it to save 1t from being thrown of its
stand. There were about $40 in the till of
the safe, and this had been pried out and
the money taken. The cash drawer In the
counter was pulled out, and all the dimes
and nickels taken therefrom. As soon as
the extent of the robbery was ascertained,
Messrs. G. w. and T. Fl. Johnston started
out to track the robbers. Their foot prints |
could be plainly seen in the road, both |
coming and going. These could he clearly |
dlsce.ned as far as Eight Mile, when one Of |
the robbers had left the road and walked in |
the grass. There were two men engaged iu |
the robbery, and these must have had some
knowledge of the interior of the store. 1t |
was fortunate that Johnston Bros left less
money in the safe last night than for long
lime, aud the robbery could not have been /
executed at a more opportune time for the
irm. The time taken In drilling the hole
n the top of the safe, piling the cord wood
behind 1t and covering 1t with the sacks of
wheat and -four must have been considera.
de, and some hours must haye elspsed from
he time they began until they completed
heir operations. Aside from the foot
rints in the road there Is no clue whatever
o the robbers

Enlisted for the War.

The Home Dramatic Co. of this city,
will give this thrilling drama at the B Id
win opera house next Tuesday evening.
This company is composed of local talent,
and each is well adapted to the part
taken. These ladies and gentlemen have
frequently appeared before Dalles audi
ences, and have always been enthusias-
tically received by our citizens Their
efforts have usually been given for chari-
table objects in this vicinity, and the
forthcoming rendition of the drama will
be for the benefit of the WV Q. 7. U,
The play is thrilling one, the scenes
being those of the late civil war in this
country, Gen. Grant being one of the
principal characters. In the plot there
is herolsm, treachery and villiainy, and
these are so mingled as to be fair rep
resentation of everyday life during that
trying epoch in the history of the nation.

last evening Fraternity hall, attracted
a large attendance. There were about
200 present, comprising members of the

PLENTY OF WORK.
Much Business of Importance
Awaiting Clovelands Attention.
Among Which Is the Brazil-Argentine
Boundary Linei The Report of the Ma
tionai strike Commission; Appropri-
ations for the Next Fiscal Year.

WAsHISaToN. Oct 24.-When Presi.
dent Cleveland returns 10 Washington,
Wednesday, he will find much business
Of Importance awaiting his attention.
Probably the first In order will be the
necessity Of rendering an opinion IN
the Brazil-Argentine boundary line,
determining the ownership Of the Mis-
stones territory. The action of tho
quadruple alliance may furnish some
food for reflection, although this gov
ernment has declined TO become par
ticipant in matters relating to the war
between China and Japan. The fact
that China has determined in advance
To select Secretary Gresham as her
arbitrator, In the event Of arbitration,
will Of necessity make the United
States prominent In any settlement OF
the oriental dispate.
He will also have TO consider the re-
port OF the national strike commission,
which is now heing prepared, and will
have to act upon II. Then there is the
awarding OF an indemnity TO be paid
by the United States Of Colombia to
Italy for tho murder Of citizen in
that country, n matter referred TO the
president for disposition, Careful
thought will have to be devoted TO the
Nicaragua matter. as Several diplo-
matte questions are involved
The question Of reciprocity has, by
the Withdrawal Of the special trade
favors extended by Cuba and Brazil,
been brought into prominence and is
settlement may cause much serious
thought The selection OF successor
TO Ambassador Bayard must be regard
ed as o possible contingency, as it IA
said, in the event OF democratic legis.
lature being elected In Delaware, he
will be chosen TO succeed Mr.. Higgins
in the senate.
A large number Of presidential pos.
offices have recently become vacant by
reason Of the expiration of commissions
and must be filed. It is understood
that these and other appointments will
not be announced until after Noyem'
Der ., when the danger Of making cam.
paign enemies has been safely passed.
Last, but not leastI is the suit to b.
brought on behalf Of Queen Liliuolta-
lani, asking for s2,OOo,OOo from the
United States government because Of
the alleged part taken in procuring hel
deposition by its representatives.
The estimates of appropriations fol
the next fiscal year have been com
pleted, and the president can occupy
any of his spare time in beginning the
preparation of his annual message tc
congress. 1t is therefore easy to up
preeiate how the president will fnt
awaiting his attention enough work t.
put his recuperated energies into ac
tive play.

NEw YORK, Oct s3--A terrible fire
occurred at South Nyack Monday
morning, destroying the elegant new
residences of Rev. Ross Taylor, son Of
Rev. William Taylor, bishop of Africa,
burning TO death four Of Mr., Taylor's
children and seriously injuring three
workmen.
At 41D the ominous tones Of the fire
bell were heard. People jumped out
Of bed and hastened out on the streets,
and when, about ten minutes later, the
second alarm was heard, half the peo-
pie OF the town were out A big blaze
OF leaping flames was seen on the
South Mountain, which was reflected
on every building in the lower part Of
the town.
The scene OF the fire was at once lo-
Gated as being the new house of Rev.
Taylor, and thither an immense throng
repaired. The house was enYeloped in
flames Mrs. Taylor first discovered
the fire and alarmed her husband, who
found they were surrounded by fire.
The couple were almost blinded by the
smoke, which was growing more
dense every moment, and they saw
at cnce that the most they could at
tempt would be to get out. BY hard
effort they succeeded in escaping from
the building. Then they saw that
their property must 60 and with il
their children, whose escape and res
cue were cut Off A laborer named
Michael Mullaly, and two decorators,

were badly hurt.
The names Of the children burned TO
death were Harriet, Ada, Arthur and
Schultz.
Two other children Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Taylor, Stewart and William, escaped
by jumping from an upper window.

capped with their lives, we're taken to

prostrated with grief at the terrible
misfortune. The bodies of the four
children were recovered from the ruins
