The Branch Asyfum.

The Salem Statesman says: Next
Monday the branch asylum case comes
up for trial in 'dead earnest" before
Circuit Judge Fl. 81. Hewitt in this city.
The matter will be tried on it's merits
in every particular. At Portland Sat-
urday before Richard Montague, a
notary public, the expert testimony of
Drs. S. E. Joseph and Harry Lane,
former superintendent of the state in
sane asylum located at Salem, will be
taken. The object, so it is learned, will
be to draw from them the fact whether
or not it will be cheaper to maintain a
branch asylum at Union or in Eastern
Oregon than to keep the same number
of insane here as would be in confine-
ment there. One of the allegations of
plaintiffs complaint is that it will in
crease his taxation by maintaining a
branch institution. At the trial Mon
day large number of witnesses will
beeXamined

THE. LECTURE.
Hon. d. P. Thompson Delivers an Inter-
esting Address on Egypt.

Hon. d. P. Thompson Delivers an Inter
esting Address on Egypt.
The Congregational church last
night was well filled to hear Hon. d.
P. Thompson's lecture on Egypt,
which he visited during the time he
spent in the Orient and made careful
observation of its monuments and
other antiquities. Mr.. Thompson has
no pretensions to oratory, but tells
what he saw in a very frank and inter-
esting manner. The attention OF the
audience is Immediately attracted to
him: because it is evident he is not
speaking from guide-bOoks, but from
what he saw and learned by personal
experience. His visit to Alexandria
was graphically described. and details
given of the interesting sights In and
around that ancient city. The jour-
ney up the Nile to the rapids was
made by the gentleman, and the audi
ence were treated to pen pictures OF
boating on this historic river, the par
ticular manners and customs of the
people and the peculiar aspect OF the
surrounding country. He stopped at
Cairo, which has undergone wonderful
changes during the last decade, and may
short distance from Cairo are the pyra-
mids. and with the aid of guides Mr..
Thompson climbed to the summit of
tbs highest. Their construction was
described, and this deviated from many
published accounts. Mr.. Thompson
made careful measurements of alti-
tudes and the heights of these monu-
ments of antiquity. He disagrees with
some authorities on the pyramids be-
ing built according to the points OF
the compass, and says they vary mate
rally from the sides being directly on
a point east and west or north and
south. The cement is still intact, and
the work apparently in as perfect Or
der as when finished under the reign
ing dynasty. From the pyramids he
visited the sphinx, which is colossal
bust resting on couchant lion. Deb
ris and sand had hid considerable
of the latter from view, but recent eX-
cavations have in certain measure
restored these to their primitive state.
The next objects of interest were the
sculptured bas reliefs on the rocky
banks of the upper Nile,and the mauso-
leums-in many instances chiseled
hundreds of feet into the solid rock
where the sarcophagi of the pharoahs
have quietly rested for centuries until
disturbed and brought to light by
modern research. In short article it
will be impossible to do more than
pick out little of the important mat
ter in the lecture, and to fully appre-
ciate it's Importance one must be an
antiquarian and have been present in
the audience. The time passed very
pleasantly, and when Mr., Thompson
finished nearly every one present re-
gretted that it had not continued much
longer.

Returned in Sound Mind.

Last fall Mr., L. C. Baker, of Mosier,
was sent to the asylum, having been
found insane after an examination, by
the county judge. 1t was very sad
case, as his wife was an invalid, and
the shock was peculiarly hard to bear,
Last week he returned from the asylum
in sound mind, and came back to his
old home, His wife is still an invalid;
but she was oYerjoyed to see her hus-
band again in possession of his mental
faculties. During his absence at Sa-
lem some man filed on his farm, and
claim in5the U. s. land office. This ap-
pears great hardship ON the old peo-
pie under the circumstances, and it
seems fairness would dicate that they
should not be disturbed in their pos
session during the afternoon and even
ing of their lives.

Nearly a Fatal Accident,
Prineville Review.

Friday Of last week Miss Josie Ander-
son met with an accident that came
near resulting fatally. 1t appears that
she was returning from the school she
was teaching at Warm Springs, in the
Beaver section, in cart when one of
the scholars came riding by, and his
horse falling against the horse Miss
Anderson was driving, frightening her
animal so that it became unmanageable
and ran away. Miss Anderson being
a good driver held the animal toward
the hill not far disthnt, but before she
reached were the incline was steep
enough to bring the animal to halt,
the cart was overturned, throwing her
to the ground with such force that she
was unconscious for several hours, also
cutting fearful cash in her forehead:
DIR. Belknap was summoned at once,
and on his return informed us that
Miss Anderson's injuries are not nee
essaraily fatal, although she sustained
a severe shaking up,

GREAT FORAGE PLANT.
Experiments to be Made This Season in
Umatilla County.


An exchange says: "W. J. Furnish
will experiment this season with a
plant new to the United States. He
has sent for a quantity of seed and ex-
poets it soon to arrive. 1t is called
sacaline.
''If sacaline can be propagated in
Umatilla county, the proof of it will
be of immense value and credit will be
due the man who first brings it in.
'.If one-fourth is true which is
claimed for 'sacaline, the new and
wonderful forage plant, it will prove a
godsend to this country. Sacaline is
said to be an agricultural wonder, be-
ing hardy enough to withstand the
cold of Siberia and the heat of the In
dies. The roots penetrate the soil to
great depth. That which promises
most for this section is the ability of
sacaline to stand draughts, the roots
drawing moisture from deep down in
the earth.
.'Cattle, sheep and hogs eat it with
relish as they do alfalfa, and horses de-
YOUR it as they do timothy hay. 1t is
said to grow under ordinary conditions
to 10 or IA feet in height and to pro-
duce 80 to $50 tons of green foliage per
acre.
Experiments will be made by Mr..
Furnish in various kinds of the soil of
Umatilla county, and actual demon
stration had as to its worth to stock
men in this section"

Titled KIeptomaniacs.

To believe French writer, there are
no fewer than 1000 women caught
every year in Paris stealing during
shopping expeditions, a habit euphoni-
ously called kleptomania. The num-
ber of titled ladies seized with this
strange malady while examining the
fashions of Paris, he tells us, is almost
incredible. Among the most recent
culprits were Russian princess, q
French countess, an English duchess,
and the daughter of reigning sover=
eign. As a rule, these more dis
tinguished offenders are let off on the
payment of a round sum for the relief
of the poor, and when the shoplifter is
known to be rich the sum exacted rises
to as much as 10000 francs. The police
authorities consent to this sort of
condonation.

The Coming Concert.

The ladies in charge of the coming
concert next Wednesday, are happy to
say they have the promise of help from
Mrs. Heald OF Hood River. This artistic
has won for herself a distinguished
success both as performer and an in
structor. They also expect two num-
bers from Miss Anna G. Smith, also of
Hood River, who had the good fortune
in the early part of her musical educa-
tion to be pupil of Mrs. Heald. They
are also promised the assistance of Miss
Aldrich, of Cascade Locks, who will

THE SILVER MADNESS.

There is peril for the Democracy in
that free silver crusade. just started in
Illinois, says the St. Louis Globe Demo-
crat. In the monetary convention OF
the party in the state to be held in
June declaration for free silver at the
l6 to ratio irrespective of European
action will be made. There is no room
for doubt on this point. This is why
the convention is opposed by Senator
Palmer, Interstate Commerce Commits
sioner Morrison, Judge Goodrich OF the
state central committee, and other 1lli-
nois sound money Democrats. The
men engaged in the convention move
ment are all free coinage advocates,
and they as well as their foes feel that
they are masters of the situation. A
majority of the Democrats of Illinois
and of most of the other western states
unquestionably favor the largest possi-
BILE liberty to silver at the mints. The
intelligence, wealth and character of
the Illinois Democracy belong to the
honest money element, but the other
element has the votes.
The favor which the convention
movement has met with from western
Democrats generally shows the peril to
the party which it presents. A free
silver declaration in Illinois would find
an echo from the Democrats in most of
81, !, Ho1f
Democratic free silver conventions this
year, and that many it is believed will
be held if Illinois starts the ball roll
ing, will give tremendous strength to
that heresy in the Democratic party in
1885, The southern end of the party
is as favorable to it as the western end,
although at present it is less enthusi-
astic and aggressive. If the Illinois
silverites are not headed off by the
administration, which is said to be
working against them, the free coinage
lunacy will sweep through the Democ-
racy of the west and south like fire
across prairie in a drouth.
1t is easy to see that the danger to-
the Democracy from this source is far
greater than it ever was in the past.
The defeats in the elections of 1898,
1894 and 1895 have disheartened many
of the conservative element and have
given frenzy and desperation to the
other and active section. Heretofore
the moderates have been able to exer-
else at least partial restraint over
the radicals, but the latter are now
getting into such mood that they
cannot be curbed. They attribute all
the recent ill-luck to the administra-
tion's attitude on the money question,
and they think that nothing will bring
a change of fortune except a change OF
policy. They feel that the situation
can not possibly be worse for their
party than it is now, and that any
change, however brought about, will
be for the better. If this element
manages to get control of the national
convention next year, then indeed,
the Democracy has again fallen on
evil days. A declaration for free sill
yer at the 16 to l ratio by the national
Democracy would be crime scarcely
less heinous than was that of secession,
and the retribution which it would
bring to the party would be as instan-
taneous and remorseless.

Good Fruit Prospects.

Mr.. Geo. Krause, who owns an or
chard on Mill creek, brought to the
office this morning limb of an april
cot tree, which was covered with young
fruit. Apricots are considered the
most susceptible to frost of any growth,
and if these have escaped harm or
chardists may rest assured that
peaches, prunes, plums and other fruit
are all right. The trees were full of
blossoms, and a good crop may be ex-
pected. Our export trade in this prod
uct will be quite large, and The Dalles
may consider itself especially favored
in its orchards escaping injury from
frOsts and cold weather.

Reported Drowning.

The La Grande Chronicle of yesterday
says: F. D. McCully and G., NJ. Richey
arrived here last night from Wallowa,
and brought with them news of the re.
ported drowning of William Winters, a
former Grande Ronde resident, in
Snake river. The report reached En-
tssprss the on Wednesday rsSyaa m9fning haag af
for home, and was brought by Frank
Winters, son of the man reported to
have been drowned. The young man s
story of the affair, however. was given
out in such a peculiar manner as to
give rise to great variety of rumors.

Still Another,

Mr.. John Trana arrived Saturday
night from the Locks with another
prisoner. He was painting the town
red and having hilarious time when
the constable clutched him with firm
hand and placed him under arrest.
His name is Chas. Teo, and, aside from
boisterousness, it is said, he stole arti-
cles from the store of D; L. Gates &
Co., and acted in an insulting manner
to ladies. Yesterday Sheriff Driver
was telephoned by the sheriff of Ska
mania county that he wanted Teo as
witness in the trial of Anderson at Van
couver, WASH, for the murder of the
old gentleman Bull, who was found
murdered under his burned cabin near
Stevenson last summer. Mr.. Driver
allowed him to go, in company with
Constable Trana; but would not re-
lease him from arrest, and they left on

RESIDENCE BURNED.
Dwelling House, Furniture and Clothing
Go Up in Flames at Noon Yesterday.

Dwelling lOuocs hhu SAoohhhS
Go Up in Flames at Noon Yesterday.
Yesterday between the hours of noon
and / O'Clock the dwelling house of
Mr.. Germain Siege, who resides about
six miles from the city on Mill creek,
was burned to the ground. Mr.. Siege
was absent at the time, and Mrs. Siege
and her two little children could do
nothing to subdue the flames. 1t is
not known how the fire caught, but,
when discovered, it was beyond con-
troll, and the woman was unable to
save the furniture, bedding or clothing
from the destroying element. Mr..
Siege had no insurance on the
house; but has policy on q
barn adjoining, which was not reached
by the flames. He is an Industrious,
hard-working farmer, and the loss will
be particularly heavy on him. His
nearest neighbor was mile distant,
and the homeless wife and children
sought shelter there. 1t is needless to
say that when Mr.. Siege arrived
home, and found his house in ashes he
was wild with excitement. In this
condition he gave the alarm, and but
bare statement of facts, without de-
tails, could be cleaned from him in
that state of mind.

afternoon near the farm of County
Clerk L. V. Ehlen, near Aurora, says

hunting, were sitting on fence, when

holding their guns, which were cooked,

ground, causing both barrels to be dis
charged, the contents of which ems

young man, who survived for an hour
when death relieved him of his suffer-

Settlement With the Nez Perces Indians
VIII Soon be Made,

VIII Soon be Made,
The Lewiston Teller says: Col. John
Lane, Special Indian agent and now
acting agent of the Nez Perces, passed
through the city yesterday en- route to
Spokane where he will visit with his
family for few days. In an inter-
view with a Teller representative, he
expressed himself as sanguine that but
little delay would be encountered in
the final opening proceedings of the
reservation. He has been patiently
awaiting the receipt of the drafts for
the Nez Perces, and is expecting them
daily. When questioned regarding
the prospect of the government requir-
ing considerable time in preparing the
lands for settlement, surveying, ETC.,
he said but little time, he thought,
would be consumed in that manner:
that the reservation is surveyed, and
that aside from few allotments to be
made and few corners established. all
that work has been long completed.
In regard to reservation leases, that
the occupants must put up bond, and
those refusing or unable to furnish
same, will be elected from the reserve,
The instructions of the department is
direct and strict in the matter and Col.
Lane is acting accordingly.
