New York. Nov. 5. II p. m.-The re-
turns for the election in New Jersey in
dlcate sweeping victory for the repub-
leans in nearly every district, even in
portions which have been for years
stronghOlds of the democracy. John w.
Griggs, the republican candidate for
governor, has been elected by sur
prisingly large plurality, probably by
about 1000. Five of the seven state SEN
ators are republican, and in the assembly
the democrats have lost much ground.
While New Jersey has had a republi-
can Senate and assembly more than
once of late, Griggs is the first success
full republican gubernatorlal candidate
in many years, and his election is re-
garded as an important index of the ma

Dependency as the Cause.
Macon Ga, Nov. 5.-Ella Thompson,
an inmate Of Rose Lyons home for soiled
doves, was found dead in her room this
afternoon at 4 clock, with a bullet in her
brain and a pistol near her hand. The
woman had not been seen since retiring
at 80 clock this morning When she
did not get up at the usual time this
morning, nothing unusual was suspected,
but late in the afternoon, the inmates
of the house became suspicious and sent
for an officer to open the door, which was
bolted on the inside. When the door was
broken open the woman was found lying
on the bed, undressed and dead, life hav-
ing been extinct some time. A lighted
lamp in the room showed the act to have
been committed before day. on the table
nearby was a note addressed to a young
man protesting her love for him, but
telling him she was disconsolate and
would never see him again. The coroner s
verdict was suicide. No one in the house
heard the pistol shot. The woman was
originally from South Carolina. but re-
Gently from Atlanta, where she has a
child in the Home for the Friendless.
She was about 80 years of age. Yester-
day the woman was arrested on a charge
of rObbing a man from Dublin, but was
released by the chief Of. police out of
which fact sensational developments have
arisen. This is believed to have preyed
on her mind, as she was disturbed con-
Siderably over it.

One Man Probably Fatally Burned by
the Flames.
A large warehouse erected in
Walla Walia about four years ago
by the Farmers Implemen: COM
pany on upper Main street, oppo-
site the w. & G, r. depot, was ru-
ined by fire Tuesday. Mr.. Yeend,
the manager, started for the office,
which is located in one end Of the
warehouse, to lock the safe. He
had barely time to accomplish this
when he started at once for the
door. Here he was met by the
sweeping fire and entirely envelop-
ed in its flames. All his clothing
was burned from him and his body
exposed to the terrific heat. He
managed to get to the door, and,
falling upon his hands and knees
had only sufficient strength to
crawl across the street. His life is
in great danger, ard the attending
physicians offer no hope for his re-
covery.
The fire department was hard at
work endeavoring to allay the con-
fiagration but all efforts to retard
its sweeps were in vain. The heat
was so intense the fremen could
not approach within 30 or 60 feet
Of the building, The warehouse
was filled with farming imple-
ments and a considerable quantity
of lubricating oil, which played its
part in the destruction of the ma.
chinery.
YEEND is DEAD.
Roland Yeend, manager of the
Farmers Implement company
warehouse, died Tuesday night at
Walla Walla from the effects of in
juries received while trying to es-
cape from the burning building,
The dying man suffered intense
agony for several hours, and it was
beyond the power of four attending
physicians to save his life. He
was about 81 years of age, and left
a wife and three young children.

ATHENA, JUNE IA 1896.

CONGRESSMAN HERMANN, of the
First district of Oregon, is strong
ly favoring turning over the Indi-
an reservation schools to the state
school system, and doing away
with the government schools now
maintained on all the reservations.
He also advocates, in event the
schools are taken by the state, tax
ing the personal property of the
Indians. While Mr.. Hermann
may be in favor Of this, the people
are not, and particularly those peo-
pie who live in counties where
there are reservations and Indian
schools. They are not in favor of
the change because they know the
Indians personal property general
ly consist of white-eyed cayuse,
saddle and bride, nothing more,
if we may except his red blanket
consequently the expense Of sup
porting the school would be great
ef than the income from the pers-
onal property tax on the Indian,
and the county would have to pay
the deficiency.

The Hood River correspondent
reports two car loads of strawber-
ries are now leaving there daily
for the east. The strawberry crop
in the lower part of the valley is
about harvested. Cherries are now
ripe. The crop is a full one, espe-
cially of Royal AIMS and Black
Republicans. The fruit crop
throughout is in excellent condi-
tion and promises large returns.
Haying is in progress and aver
age yields are being secured.
In the counties of Cook, Klam-
ath, Lake, Harvey and Grant, the
season is very backward. These
counties have an elevation of about
5000 feet, and they have had frost
and ice during the past week in
juring vegetation. Strengthening
continues, and heavy fieeces are Sc,
cured. The range grass is good,
and stock presents a prime condi-
ton.
Grasshoppers are present in large
numbers, and are doing damage in
Morrow and Gillian counties.
They moved northward from Harm
ey county.
The general cereal crop condi-
tions are not of the most en- ,ourag-
ing character throughout Eastern
Oregon. Rain will help things
wonderfully. There are no indica-
tions, at the present writing, for
rain within the next few days.

wrhe weather has not been fav.

to a more healthy stand and TO

age of volunteer and spring grain
in Wasco, Sherman, Gillian and
Morrow counties, the weati or pros
poets are not encouraging. The
correspondent at Glenn, Gillian
county, reports ''grain looking bad
ly; some of it is burning" From
Morrow county comes this report:
"In a large part of Morrow county
and u part Of Gillian county, the
crops are almost failure; in some
parts there will be no harvest.
Fall-sown wheat is heading out
about one foot high, and spring
grain, it is safe TO predict, will not
shade the ground; fully so per cent
of the grain in this section is spring
grain" Similar reports come from
Wasco, Sherman and Gillian coun-
ties, though the most discouraging
from Morrow county. In Umatil-

THE MEMPHIS CONVENTION.
A Great outpouring of the Friends of
the White Metal

the White Metal.
The largest meeting ever held in
the South for the discussion Of
single economic question convened
at the auditorium in Memphis
Wednesday. Certainly no such
outpouring Of men of all classes,
representing all political parties
but unanimous upon at least one
principle government policy, has
ever been seen in the South. While
an overwhelming majority of the
delegates in the "honest money"
convention. called in the interest Of
free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at the ratio of 16 to 1, comes
from that section of the country,
the representation includes almost
every state south of the Ohio river
and west of the Mississippi. The
promoters of the conference say
this spontaneous manifestation of a
strong and growing public senti-
ment may be traced directly to the
convention of May 23, at which
secretary Carlisle was the guest of
honor. Taking their cue from that
gathering an invitation was extend
ed to the friends of free silver to
participate in a country demonstra-
ton, with the result that it far ex-
ceeds the expectations of any of
the leaders of the movement.

SLOWLY but very surely the bet
ter times which the Wilson tariff
foreshadowed are coming. Here is
a little instance: The shoe busi-
ness Of Haverhill, Mass, for the
week ending Friday has again
broken the record, the shipment
reaching the total of 11,766 cases,
more than 800 ahead of any prev
ious weeks output. A falling off
was expected, and business keeps
steady, making the sales by all
odds the heaviest the city has ever
known. The Mckinley tariff or
the prospective republican congress
can have nothing to do with this
business activity, we are sure.
