Eleanor Calhoun Goes to California to
Tel II I X .atives 4 hat rs All ettled.
San Francisco, April 29.-The Cal
houn claimants and the contestants OF
the will of the millionaire miner of
Montana, Andrew j. Davis, have been
asked to compromise and to end the
litigation which has been in progress
for so many years. Eleanor Calhoun,
the granddaughter of Davis and the
Californian who has won so many hon.
ors on the London stage, has arrived
in this city. She has come to inform
her relatives of the negotiations that
have been under way in New York.
Miss Calhoun was not inclined last
night to discuss the will contest in de-
tail. The legal fight has been in prog
ress for several years. Davis. IL will be
remembered, left an etate of over $16.-
900 900 to a collateral relative, ignoring
his wife and two daughters who live
in this state. VERY little can be said
as yet" Miss Calhoun declared, las the
negotiations have not gone much fur
Their than an offer of compromise. We
have been asked to settle the contest
and IL may be that we will see our way
clear to accept conditions which are
disagreeable."

met Gibbs in Canada several years be-
fore the murder and fell in love with
him. He had returned her affections
and on the promise to marry her had
accomplished her ruin. Later. she says,
his conduct toward her became cold
and he refused to fulfill his promise TO
make her his wife. She says that after
he left her in Canada she followed him
to Buffalo. Again she pleaded with
him to keep his promise. but he refused
to do so. She then secured a revolver.
and on the night Of April rs. 1894, fol-
lowed him while he was returning TO
his home. She met him and when he
again refused to marry her she shot
him down and fed from the city.
Miss Allen made this confession to a
minister and requested him to notify
the authorities to take the necessary
steps to release the Robinsons and send
her to prison in their stead. Is the
woman telling the truth? Or is she
crazy? or is she lying for the sake of
notoriety? It's a strange case.

WE have said in these columns
that it was our belief that at the
present time a majority of the
workingmen of the country IA
vored the free coinage of silver.
But they are not in favor of a
deprecated currency. This was
illustrated during the greenback
contention. But the question then
was not beclouded with any
reference to the intrinsic value
of the material composing the
greenback. The whole discussion
was so manifestly for the main
tenance of an inflated currency
that no attempt at deception was
possible. Now the workingman
is deluged with torrents of statis-
tics, or figures rather, to prove
that the free and unlimited coinage
of silver would enhance the value
of the white metal to par with
gold; and that consequently there
would be no depreciation. This
is where the workingman is being
deceived. And should silver APP
preciate under the new order OF
things so that it will equal gold at
a ratio of 16 to 1, then the peo-
pie who are responsible for all
this commotion would be sorely
grieved and disappointed. All
their work would 90 for nothing.

witty sallies kept the crowd in
good humor during the entire
debate but Chas. waxed very
wroth. The Duluth ws-Tribune
says Jadam got the best of the
argument but the Herald, of
course, gave Charley Towne the
best of it. One thing is certain
however, Mr.. Bede can keep
Charley pretty busy and from a
reading of the several arguments
we begin to think Bede did have a
little bit the best of the argument.
He had an advantage over his
opponent by being on the sound
side.
WILLIAM j. BRYAN says he is
afraid employers are influencing
their workmen to vote for Nc
Kinley. 1t may console him some
to know that the larger part of
the laboringmen, owing to the
silver movement and the fear of
him and his policy, have at the

Bishop oranston.

Asrare treat will be afforded the peo-
pie of The Dalles in the coming of Bish-
op Cranston to our city today. He is
resident bishop of the Methodist Epis-
copal church for the Northwest. The
bishop is native of Ohio, educated in
the Ohio university. The president of
this school paid him the distinguishing
compliment of being the best all-around
scholar that had been graduated from
the institution in the twenty-five years
of his connection Herewith as president.
He left the university to enter the ser
vice of his country in the hour of her
great peril.
AS pastor he became widely and favor
ably known. AS presiding elder in the
Colorado conference he made for him.
self most extraordinary reputation for
administrative ability AMI executive
force. Twelve years as agent of the
Western Publishing House of Cincin-
haiti he achieved reputation never eur
passed, if equalled, in the history oi
church work in this department. His
extensive experience in business circles
thorough acquaintance with this western
country and rare executive ability, most
thoroughly fit him to meet the perplex-
| ing problems of these times.
AS a preacher he is clear, logical anc
eloquent. His lectures are highly pop
ular and sparkle with witticisms anC
gems of truth. None should miss tn,

marshal that the mule be impounded.
The marshal examined the mule and re-
fused to take him. He wasn't worth
his feed over night. Jim went to the
city recorder. the recorder could do moth
ing, and then Jim went to the barn and
purchased an armful of hay for him.
Then Jim tackled the mayor, he of
course had nothing TO do with the matter
and very properly referred him to the
city marshal. So from one to the other
Jim appealed, but it was no use, nothing
could be done to ease the declining days
of the venerable relic. Hood River was
not running a hospital for Mosier's
antiquated mules, but the mule was
there and refused to go away. Finally
an Indian was hired to lead the poor,
old animal down to the sioughe and
there extend to him the hospitable
refuge of the grave. A bullet ended the
business, and the faithful old animal
whose many years had been spent in
the service of his master, found resting
place at last upon the drifted snow
banks, cold indeed, but not colder than
the hearts of men.
He was only an old mule, but he did
his life's work uncomplainingly and
well, to find at its end the usual reward
of ingratitude on the part of those he
served. He was only a kindly old mule,
that was all, only an old, broken-down,
useless mule, encumbering the earth,
and an eyesore to his master. Only an
old mule.

The government must have the lands

question is the knotty one the jury is

being as to the value. Anyone who
knows the vagaries of the salmon fishing
business knows that good. point for a
wheel, in good season is of immense
value, and a single wheel has caught fish
in single season, equaling in value, the
entire amount awarded Mr.. Seufert by

and left for Portland on the local this
afternoon. If ever twelve men had a
difficult job those composing that jury

jim LANeILLE. AND THE MULE.
Jim Fed Him Once, the Last Meal He
Ever Ate.


The subjects of this sketch, while not
occupying equal prominence therein,
had several traits in common. Langille
and the mule were about the same age,
if anything the mule having precedence
on that score, while Jim averaged up on
the mule in obstinacy. However COM
parsons are odious, and we refrain from
pointing out the other points of similar
ity and lines of divergence and proceed
to our tale.
The mule is or was venerable and
noble specimen of his race, but in this
he had no advantage of jim. with fine
pedigree on the distaf side of his house.
He crossed the plains in I847, coming
where lots of good people come from
Pike county, Missouri, settled in Wash
ington county and finally became the
property of John Divers of Hood River.
In the early days of Hood River, he
was used as pack mule, and no hunt
ing party was complete without him.
| He would patiently accompany his
master to the mountains, and with a
bear or. deer strapped on his faithful
back, could be turned loose to
carry his load home at his own pleasure,
and he never betrayed the trust reposed
in him, but always arrived with his
load. Time passed, and Divers sold the
good old animal to a Mr.. Prathar of
Mosier. But his usefulness was thing
of the past. the gray hairs gathered
around his kindly eyes, and tipped the
points of his ever upright ears. Rheu-
matism racked his frame, and ringbone
and spawn, thorough-pin and string-halt
one by one visited him, and came to
stay. At last broken and infirm of body
the patient old animal was turned out,
to seek for himself on the barren hillside
the food his gaunt frame could no longer
earn. In his old age he realized mans
inhumanity to mules, but uncom plain
ingly browsed the sparse herbage, the
bitter huckleberry brush and the grip
ing fern, in the vain endeavor to support
himself and keep his backbone from ir.
ritating the hide that covered his .abdo-
men. He lived a hard life it is true
but still be lived. until week or ter
days ago, when the deep snow covered
: the last vestige of his larder, and The
. biting cold sent him shivering, faint
hearted and almost hopeless to his las
resort, the haunts of men. He showeG
up at Hood River, seeking, hoping t.
violate the city ordinances forbiddIni
his presence. and longing for the hom'
comforts of the pound provided for tres
passers of his kind. But alas 1t wa
a vain hope. The mule, like many an
other would-be criminal, found tina
s there was no swift desire to punisl
g minor offenses against the law, whel
# there was nothing in it for the officers.
8 Langille saw the mule, he noted hi
a patient bearing, his gray hairs, hi
: crippled limbs. his gaunt frame. hi
