This afternoon Marshal Blakeney was
telephoned for from the. depot, to come
up and arrest a man, who was stoning
the section men, and throwing rocks at
the cars. When Blakeney arrived on
the grounds he found that man named
Richardson was the one doing the mis-
chief and at once arresJed him. Mrs.
Richardson came to her husbands rescue
armed with butcher knife, and the re-
suit is that both are locked up.

at Seattle, has issued notice warning
laboring men not to come to Seattle with
the expectation of securing work on the
Lake Washington canal. He says the
enterprise is emphatcically a Seattle
affair, that Seattle men, especially
men with families will be given
the work, that there are plenty
of men now in the city to do all
the work, and that if any come, they
will meet with disappointment and ex-
pense if not actual suffering.
The city recorder was not in the most
joyous frame of mind when our reporter
called at his justice shop this morning.
He was holding an inquest on his bicy-
Gle, which he had loaned yesterday. in
the full vigor of it's strength, but which
this morning might be classed as drunk
and -disorderly. Six spokes were gone
from the front wheel, and the others
were limp and relaxed, so that the
wheel was hardly self-sustaining. AS
we left, the recorder, sitting as coro-
ner's jury on the remains, was in some
doubt as to whether the wreck was
caused by falling over the bluff, or be-
ing run over by whole freight train.
The verdict will probably agree with the
latter theory.

A Bold Robber.


Yesterdays Oregonian contains the
following concerning robbery in sher-
man county:
"a. Gilmour, who lives about mile
east of Emigrant Springs, in Sherman
county, was held up at the muzzle of
Winchester last Thursday night in his
house, and forced to give up every cent
he had on his person. He was alone in
the house at the time, as his wife has
been East for several months. About
8:S0 on the evening mentioned, Mr.. Gil
mour heard a noise at the door, and, on
opening il, was accosted by man who
held gun at his head, and asked him to
give up what money he had. Gllmour
hunted his pockets and found 80 cents in
coin, which he handed over. The fellow
told him to open his trunk and "shell
out" the money he had hidden, en-
phasizing the request with kick. The
trunk was unlocked, and the different
articles of wearing apparel taken ont,
but nothing valuable was found. This
appeared to make the robber furious,
and as each garment was shaken to prove
that no money was concealed he would

THE MARKETS.

The local wheat market is quiet, but
little being offered. In Portland Walla
Walla wheat is quoted at 45 and 46 cents
about 3S to 80 cents. The indications for
a big crop in the Eastern states are not
good. In the Dakotas the crop prospect
which was exceedingly bad, has bright
ened considerably on account of copious
and general rains. From the reports for
the world the prospect for better prices
is good, aud it is quite within the possi-
b[lities that not less than so cents will be
paid this fall.
The first wool of the seasons clip was
received this week from the Baldwin
Sheep & Land company, at Hay creek.
and was consigned to the Wasco ware
house. Small lots have arrived previous
to this, but not of the spring clip. Buy
ers are not showing up yet and no price
has been fixed. Another week or two
will see the market fairly opened.
There is quite demand for potatoes
in the East and Oregon is sending many
carloads, the Eastern price and freight
rates, however, keep the price here at
from 40 to 80 cents per sack.
The market is pretty well supplied
with the seasons vegetables.
There is no material changes from last
weeks report. We quote:
WHEAT-38 cents per bushel.
OATs-75 cents per 100 pounds.
BARLEY-55 cents per 100 pounds.
FLoUR-$2.25 per barrel; retail 81. SO.

Solid Sprays.

These Sprays are reduced to a SOLID

water for immediate use.

Winter Spray for San Jose Scale and
Curl Leaf of the Peach.
Lime, unslacked. 80 lbs
Sulphur, powdered d................20 20 lbs
Salt, Liverpool. Observation-Disclosures 15 lbs
The above is very efficient remedy for
the San Jose Scale and Curl Leaf of the
Peach, and is an excellent fertilizer for
the trees. 1t not only destroys the scale
and prevents the spread of the curl leaf,
but removes all lichens and keeps the
bark soft.
In the case of curl leaf, the greatest
good will result from the early spraying,
as it prevents to large degree the DOR
mant spores of this parasitic fungus
coming to life, and destroys any that
may have started.
DIRECTIONS.
To be most successful, this spray
should be applied just before the buds
swell in the spring. 1t can be used at
this time stronger than later, and should
be thrown upon the trees when it is
warm.
Use for winter spraying, pound to 2
gallons of water; for summer work use
pound to 8 gallons of water. Maier

Ohio Democrats.

Attacks on Senator Brice Not Relished by
Ohio Democrats.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 19.-The Dem
ocratic state central committee will
meet here tomorrow to fix the time
and place of the state convention. The
date particularly has been the subject
of spirited contention between Allen
w. Thurman and Senator Brice. The
date will be earlier than the middle of
July. Though the Republicans have
placed their ticket in the field, they
will do no campaign work before fall.
Allen w. Thurman seems to stand
quite alone in holding that in order
to accord the silver question pro-
per hearing an carly convention
must be had. It is now certain that
there will be no free silver plank in
the state platform. Allen w. Thur
man, however, may not be in the state
convention. The feeling against him
here is the result of his attack on
Chairman Smalley and Mr.. Brice and is
very strong. While number of rural
counties that have already selected
delegates to the state convention have
adopted free silver resolutions it is
known that many of the delegates
chosen will not vote for free silver in
the convention. 1t has been generally
conceded that Hamilton county would
be for free silver, but the sound money
Democrats have decided to make q
fight there.

COULDN'T GET HIS PAY.

signed His Office.

So United States Attorney Walker Re-
signed His Office.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-The very
unusual thing of government officer
resigning will be officially announced
to the world in a day or two. The cir
cumstances under which the resigna-
ton was brought about, it is scarcely
necessary to add, are unusual The
official referred to is Mr.. James v.
Walker, United States attorney for
the central district of the Indian ter
ritory. Mr. Walker resigns because
congress neglected to make an appro-
priation to provide for his salary.
There is not much doubt, of course,
that the next congress will make the
necessary appropriation, but Mr..
Walker could not afford to wait for his
pay till the next appropriation bill be-
comes a law. He has, therefore, ten
-dered his resignation.
Notwithstanding the discourage
ment of his resignation, there are sew
eral applicants for the place, the most
promising of whom is Mr.. Givens, at
present the assistant attorney for the
northern district of the Indian terri
tory, stationed at Muscogee. 1t is be-
lieved here that he will get the ap-
pointment.

Colonel Tom Moonlight Would Like 10
Return to Kansas.
WASHINGTON, June 19-Colonel Tom
Moonlight, according to a floating par
agraph, is tired of his diplomatic job
in Bolivia and would like to return to
Kansas. This recalls an incident
which occurred some years ago at
Memphis, Tenn. The occasion was .
waterway convention, or some other
internal improvement meeting.
Among the delegates from Kansas was
Colonel Moonlight. In the delegation
from kentucky was Colonel Morning
star, editor of a newspaper at Bowling
Green, and Congressman Good

ticed the aggregation of pecu-
liar names the waggish secretary of
the convention transposed his
list so that the three cognomens came
together. Thereafter when a question
was put to the convention and the sec
rotary was ordered to call the roll the
delegates were convulsed with laugh.

to take hilarious astronomical obser-
vations through improvised glasses,

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, June 19!-Sec-
rotary of State Lessueur has made his
annual call on corporations for finan-
ci>l reports and antitrust affidavits.
The antitrust law was materially
amended by the recent general assem-
bly, and the machinery for lis enforce
ment rendered far more effective. In
stead of prosecutions being left en-
tirely to prosecuting attorneys the at

diction. Ihe penalties for failure to
make the. reports and atfidavits are
severe, and heretofore have been very
generally the result of the. careless
ness rather than the contumacy of
corporations. Ii companies would
make their reports Immediately after
the first of July it would lessen the
number of delinquents on the score of
neglect.

ise-Comparisons Of Extensions
Systems Abroad-Salaries Of
Clerks Higher In This
Country.

WASHINGTON, Jnne 19-The FORTH
coming annual report of the United
States civil service commission will
show that the whole number of per-
sons regularly employed in the civil
service of this country is about zoe, 600.
OF these, approximately one-fourth
are in the classified service, subject to
competitive examinations under the
civil service rules. OF those in the
unclassiied service, $4,000 are labor
ers, 5000 are appointed by the presi-
dent, subject to confirmation by the
senate, 1880 are in the legislative
branch of the government. and 2.d66
are in the judicial branch. The civil
service act excludes these classes from
classification. The total num-
Der of positions affected by
the extension of civil service
rules from March 4. 1898, to January 3,
1895, was S.1S4. Of these 5,537 were
added to the classified service by orig
inal classification, and 2,647 by trans
fer of places classified, but excepted
from examination to list of places sub
ject to competitive examination. Since
January % all employees of the ag-
ricultural department. have been
brought into the classified service ex-
cept the secretary and assistant secre-
tary of agriculture, private secretary
to each, the chief of the weather bu-
reau and his private secretary, the
chief clerk of the department and his
private secretary. and laborers and
charwomen.
A comparative statement shows that
at the end of President Arthur's adj
ministration the approximate number
Of positions classified WAS IS, 5';3; at the
end of President Cleveland's first term.
there were 1880, and at the end OF
President Harrison's administration
there were 4:,92S places classified. Ex-
ecutive acts brought %, s73 of the lat
ter number into the service, while the
1865 others, principally in pOstofiices,
became classified by reason of growth,
from small offices.
Investigations made at the request
of the commission show that the salar--
les of government clerks in the princl-
pal foreign countries are lower than
those paid by this government, but the
pay of higher officials, is generally
more than those here.
