A Strange Story.

A strange story in which Seattle has
an interest has come to light In cenr
nection with the battle of the Wilder
ness, through the desire of a small boy
to get hold of a birds nest. Henry F.
Lowpenny. a corporal in the Thirty
second Indiana volunteers, lost his
right arm ct the elbow during the bat
tie by the explosion Of shell, Since
then Lowpenny has died, but his
widow resides In this city with a mar
ried daughter. Bradley johnson, q
cousin of Lowpenny, and also ex-state
chancellor OF Missouri, now resides on
the scene of the battle, and O few
weeks ago his little son, while birds
nesting, discovered a nest built in a
skeleton hand in the fork of a large
maple tree. On one of the bony fq-
gers was found a seal ring, which was
recognized by Mr.. Johnson as having
belonged to Lowpenny.

A Big Yield.

Corvallis Times: Robert Steel, of
the Luclliamute. spent the Fourth in
Corvallis. He is the Polk county
farmer who grew the phenominal crop
of over A. 900 bushels of barley on thirty
acres of ground, more than 1873 bushels
to the acre. The field was formerly
huge pond, which was drained by Mr..
Steel with ditch to the Luckiamute,
in big bend of which river it lies. 1t
has produced six crops of barley and
the lowest average of any season was
60 bushels per acre. In harvesting
the big crop OF last year two weeks
were required in cutting it with a
binder drawn by five horses, and after
the grain was cut the shocks so nearly
covered the entire ground that the
wagons in hauling it could not pass
between them. The market value of
last years yield from 80 acres was
about 81 600. The crop of brewing
barley on the field this year promises
well, and will be much benefited by
the rains on the 4th and 5th.

Attempt to Break Jail.

Mr.. John FitzGerald had an adven-
ture last night when he was walking
through the cells locking up the pris-
oners. He was unusually late in per-
forming this work, and as he passed
the first cell in the corridor he noticed
that the door was closed. On opening
it he found Lee Moorhouse, who is un-
der $3.50 bail for larceny, secreted in a
corner of the room, with hat and coat
on and his shoes in his hand raised
in a striking attitude. He closed the
door quickly before the blow descended
and asked Moorhouse what he meant.
The fellow told him that he had
planned an escape, and intended to skip
through the door of the corridor into
the sheriff's Office, and from there gain
the street by the front door of the
court house. If necessary he would
have used the shoes in knocking the
jailer down. By this time Johns Irish
blood was fully aroused, and in little
while he was hauled out of the cell and
placed in one under lock and key. 1t
is fair presumption that Moorehouse
will be content with his lot for the
next few days, and not make any
further attempts to escape.

Inc pest IraulAS fQlnt:
The sack press at Moody's warehouse
in this city is Offering great facilities
for shippers to eastern markets. Mr..
Hecht, of Hecht, Liebmann & Co., wool
merchants of Boston, has just pur.
chased large lot of feeces from Mr..
Moody, which he is packing in the
process lately introduced iu the city.
The "sack press" as it is called, is be-
coming quite popular, as it makes it
possible to deliver the wool in
Boston in the same condition as it
is received from the grower without
breaking the original sack, and the
same rates are charged as on the COM
pressed bale. Mn! J. Fl. Sherar, who
has hitherto sent his fieeces east in
round sacks, at high rates of freight,
packed this years clip with this new
machine, and believes that the advan-
tages of eastern opening and grading
will be retained, while heavy freights
will be avoided. Mr.. Hecht is ship
ping by the Regulator line and the
Southern Pacific Railway. This gen.
tlemen and Mr.. Moses, the largest
operators in wool on the Pacific coast,
are the only buyers in this market who
seem to appreciate that the boat line
that forced upon the railroad compa-
nies the present low rates should be
entitled to PATRONAGE. The Dalles is
the great wool r,2-2, : If the north
west, and, with til. k press" and
the d. P. & A. N. Co.'S line, affords
greater facilities to place wool in the
Boston market at cheap rates Of trans
portation than any point in the north
west. A considerable portion of
the rise in the price of wool in this
city is due to the lowering of freight
rates from here to the eastern market
by means of the opposition line on
the river, and our people are pleased
to see the boat carrying their wool.

SHERMAN COUNTY MUSICAL.
Views of Person who Attended From
Wasco County.

| DOfD, OrS.. July !, 1OSo.
Editor TINES -McUSTAISEEk:
| AS 1 have seen nothing in your
paper concerning the Sherman County
| Musical Associations convention.
which was held at Grass Valley, COM
mencing June "a and closing the even
| ing of June %, will try and give you
| a few items concerning it.
The first three days was occupied in
transacting the business connected
| with the association, and none but
members were admitted; but Thursday
and Friday, June q and %, was for the
benefit of the public, or you might say
for the benefit of a few of the members
of the association, They had given
the public to understand that the en-
ing to the contrary had been seen in
print There were great many l1v-
ing in Sherman county who did not
know that an admission was to be
charged until few days before it COM
menced, and people coming from dis
tance were very much put out when
they arrived and found that an admis-
sion was to be charged. The admis-
sion was small, it is true; but when
you take the entertainment into con-
sideration it was small too, as nearly
all of their selections were stale, hay
ing been used at some of their previous
meetings, and the reserved seats would
have made the angels weep to have sat
upon them. The entertainment fell
far short of what it was cracked up to
be, and nearly all present were dis
gusted with the meeting. :
The next meeting will be held at
Moro in June, 1896. and the Moro Oh
server, in speaking of it, says: SIT is a
long time TO wait for such a treat, to
be sure; but free horse should not be
ridden to death" Now, I wonder |
what Mr.. Ireland meant when he |
spoke about riding a free horse to |
death. OF course, it is not policy for |
the editor of the Observer to criticise |
the entertainment, but he should not |
convey wrong ideas, to the public. 1t |
is possible that the editor of the Oh
se,'rer received q complimentary ticket,
and not understanding the arrange /
ment of things made a mistake in
speaking of free horse; but the men,
bers of the association have fooled the
public once, and I think they will find
that their entertainment in next June
will be one of the biggest failures they
have ever attended.

hours he was able TO ride home, q
considered seriously hurt, and his
family remained at Antelope for the
evening exercises; but on returning
home the next morning they found
him unconscious, and ascertained that
he had taken morphine to ease
headache from which he suffered.
Antidotes were applied, but he only
responded partially to their effects,
and died Sunday morning at O'Clock.

An Esteemed Teacher.


The Boyd Union school closed a
very successful term a few days ago,
and Mr.. r. A. Gailey-a nephew of
Mr.. R. Snodgrass-the teacher gave
general satisfaction. The young man
is only % years of age, and has only
been in Oregon few months. A cor
respondent at Boyd gives a very
lengthy biographical description of
Mr.. Galley, which is too elaborate for
our columns, and from it we learn that
he has the esteem of both teachers and
pupils. His methods are calculated to
stimulate students in the pursuit of
knowledge, and undoubtedly Mr..
Galley has bright future before him
in his chosen profession. We congrat-
ulate our friends at Boyd upon having
secured such thorough teacher, and
we hope Mr.. Galley will devote his
time and attention to- the noble call

Not Found,

Mr.. Simeon Bolton, deputy county
clerk, received letter from Mr.. W. j.
White this afternoon, stating nothing
further had been heard from Mr.. Tur-
per, except what we published yester-
day. Forty or fifty men were hunting
him Tuesday, and at one time they
heard two loud reports of gun, and
also ascertained that man had asked
for admission to Mr.. Days house about
o'clock that morning. 1t is now a
week since Mr.. Turner has been miss
ing, and nothing has been heard di-
rectly of his whereabouts except what
we published in our last issue, The
commendable fraternal spirit among
the Odd Fellows of Goldendale is wor-
thy of emulation everywhere. Mr..
Turner is member of the order, and
the search has been continued by Odd
Fellows every day. They will find him
dead or alive, aud the motive that act.
yates them is simply that of fraternity.

mem bership, and the three-links never
had better exemplifcation than in

Killed hy a Log.

Fred Adams, an Englishman about
% years old, was working last Friday
with William Castle on the St Clair
homestead, near Philomath, unloading
binding poles from wagon. One of
the sticks, green fir about Is feet
long and one foot in diameter, slipped
from the wheel and knocked Adams
backward. He fell on his back, and
the heavy timber fell across his breast.
The shock was SO great that Castle
says the end of the log bounded up at
least foot and fell again, the last
time striking the victim in the face.
Then it rolled off down the decline.
For moment the injured man laid

Disastrous Runaway.

The team of horses attached to the
bus which takes passengers to the
Umatilla House every evening from
the freight depot on the arrival of the
train from Heppner at o'clock, last
night, while being taken from the car
piage at the Cosmopolitan hotel be-
came frightened and ran away. When
nearly opposite the Umatilla House
they ran on to the switch in the rail-
road track, land this broke the shoulder
strap and parted them. One horse, a
dark brown, followed the board walk
over the bridge, and at the end broke
through the railing and fell to the
ground, breaking his neck and causing
death instantly. The other ran up the
street and arrived at the barn un-
harmed. The horses belong to Mr.. J.
81. Ferguson: but yesterday he was
sick and they were driven by his
brother, Mr.. A P. Ferguson. They,
were scared at the headlight of a pass
ing locomotive, and the one that met
his death was not accustomed to being
driven in the bus.

An Unhealthful Water Supply.

The water supply problem cenfronls
the people of Pendleton. The East
Oregonid11 says that from 25 to 70 men
men and boys and dozens of Siwash In
dians bathe in the waters at the head
of the Byers mill race every day; and
the city takes out water for use in the
system, using a six-inch pipe which
taps the race some distance below the
place where the bathing is done, To
overcome this situation the water SUI
pertntendent recommends that the
supply of water for the city be secured
by sinking we'll below the bed of the
river instead of taking it direct from
the mill race where the boys and ST.
washes hattie.

THE BIG SHOW.
| The Great Wallace Shows Which VIII
Exhibit In The Dalles August 1st.

Exhibit In The Dalles August 1st.
Mr.. Geo. II. Robinson, General Con-
tracting Agent of the Great Wallace
Shows, was in the city last week az
ranging for the big shows, which will
exhibit here on August 1st. Mr.. Rob-
inson, who is one OF the eldest and best
known agents in the circus business,
having boen identified with the large
shows of the country for twenty-five
years past, informs the TENES-MOUN-
TAIBEER that the expenses of the Great
Wallace Shows run from So, 10000 to
$4,00G.o0 per day, the largest part of
which sum is expended in the city
where they exhibit. This is a tidy
figure, and in dull times like these the
show should be eargely welcomed and
literally patronized by all classes of
the community.
The modern "Big Circus" is an in
stitution peculiar to America. The
old world shows are small compare
lively, and the mammoth concerns we
have are thoroughly characteristic of
our country and our people, and even
if the lion on the fence is some
times bigger than the lion in the cage,
no man visiting the up-to-date, Three
Ring circus has ever been heard to say
he did not get his moneys worth over
and over again, Long may the great
American circus wave, and continue to
delight and dazzle the young and old

Good Prospects.

Hon. E. B. Dufur returned last even-

county. He has been at Wamic. Tygh,
Kingsley and Dufur, and he says the
prospects for the grain harvest are very
encouraging. Grasshoppers haYe left
that portion of the county, and the
damage done has not been very much.
He says this county is all right since
the fourth of July rain, and he expects
as good a crop as has been marketed for
a number of years. With fair price,
and there are prospects that it will be
higher than for many years past, the
farmers will enjoy good times after the
harvest

If you need glasses you need them, and
putting off from time to time is vast

You do not often have the opportunity
to have your eyes tested and fitted by

the cost OF going to the city and time
