SUICIDE AT eoLDENDALE.
An Old Man, Highly Respected, Takes
His Life for Causes Unknown.

An Old Man, Highly Respected, Takes
His Life for Causes Unknown.
Yesterday morning, about o'clock.
Matthew McEwan, over 60 years OF
age, highly respected citizen OF
Goldendale, WASH, committed suicide
by shooting himself through the heart
with Winchester rifle. He arose
at the usual time. and, soon after
going to his room the family were
alarmed by the discharge OF the rifle.
On going to his bed, they found him
dead with bullet hole through his
heart. The following note was found
on his person:
"What was committed in Utah l
could not help no more than five
year-old boy. Circumstances sur
rounded me so could not help it,
No date was given, and there was no
explanation of the act: but whatever
it was it must have preyed upon his
mind until life became unbearable,
and relief was sought in suicide.
Mr.. McEwan came to Goldendale a
number of years ago from Utah, and
was thought to be of the Mormon
faith. He was very Industrious and
honest, and by thrift and economy
accumulated O competence. In the
community he was always highly es-
teemed as a sober, upright citizen, and
considered of sound and bright mind.
He leaves widow, one daughter at
home about 16 years of age, three
married daughters and three sons, one
of whom is unmarried. This act is q
terrible shock to the community, as
Mr.. McEwan always bore an excellent
reputation, and was not in the least
financially embarrassed to cause the
rash deed.

OF harmony and earnestness prevailing
that had characterized the entire ses-

were presented by Meade corps, No. Is,
one to Mr.. Ungerman, the retiring de-
partment president, and the other to
the newly elected president, Mrs.

The Drama.

The second rendition of Damon and
Pythias at the opera house last even
ing attracted large audience, and the
people were more enthusiastic than on
the former occasion. Our people are
not unappreciative, and were well sat-
isfied with the artistic delineation of
the great character of Damon in the
drama by Mr.. Rasmus, aud also with
the excellent manner in which every
part was taken, giving evidence of the
talent possessed by members of the
local dramatic club and others who ap-
peared on the stage on both occasions;
but the play is one of extreme sadness
until the final scene, and there is no
account for that lack of enthusiasm
which little vein of humor would
have created. But it is true that the
love of liberty, the constancy of wife
and betrothed, and the undying friend
ship of these two Pythagoreans are
worthy of applause in any audience.
Lrst night there was a marked i'm
provement in every actor. Their
words came freer, and they were more
accustomed to positions on the stage.
Language and gestures seemed more
natural and less studied, and our anna
teurs are rapidly assuming the grace
and freedom that distinguish the pro-
fession: There is a report that the
play will be produced at Goldendale in
a few days, and, if such is fact, we
can assure the people of that city that
dramatic treat is, in store for them.

Glowing Description of the Great syndi-
cate Circus.
The New Great Syndicate Shows
have made successful hit wherever
it has exhibited. This show, which
will exhibit in The Dalles, Saturday,
July 9Th, is highly endorsed. The fol-
lowing is from the .Star, the leading
daily paper of Pueblo, Colorado:
'.The street parade of the New Great
Syndicate Shows this morning showed
two special features. The humanitar-
ian could not have been ill-pleased
with the condition of the horses, which
are rounded, fat and full of life. The
other thing was the cleanliness and
bright appearance of the wagons-in
all parade more bright, attractive
and more worthy of remembering than
any such that has visited Pueblo in
years.
''The grand entry at the circus is a
thing of beauty. full of glittering ban
ners, lovely women and handsome
men. The wardrobe is beautiful with
out cheap gorgeousness, and the colors
show as bright as rainbow. An i'm
mense crowd attended this afternoon,
all the seats being filed, and many
compelled to stand. The large crowd
showed its appreciationof of nearly every
act by demanding its repetition.
