Thos. H. Rogers, ofMcMinnville
came near losing his life by tie
bursting OF a gun barrel, while
hunting lea Nashville, last Sun
day. He was standing with his
gun, when a pheasant flew up in a
tree near him. He raised his gun
and fired at it, when the barrel
bursted by the force of the concus-
sion, the stock being driven back
badly decorating his cheek and
probably destroying the sight of

home i'll McMinnville Oh Monday.

J. H. McMurray returned yes
terday from his trip to Nehalem
with a load of household goods for
Rev. Potter. He went by the way
of Dallas and was eleven days in
making the round trip. 1t is quite
encouraging to hear him tell of the
BRYAN and silver sentiment he en-
c%ountered on the way, particularly
in the Willamette valley where the
} whole country seems to be literally
ahame for free silver. Mac says
that men digging potatoes, grub
bling brush, and otherwise employed
along the roadside would stop him
and anxiously enquire where he
was from and how Bryan was 60
ing to run in Lincoln county. Mac
was in Dallas the night they had
their big republican rally there,
and he says that there were sixteen
men shouting for Bryan to II for
Mckinley. He asked a man what
kind of a rally it was, and was con-
siderably surprised TO learn that it
was a Mckinley blowout. He en-
CURED if there were any Mckinley
men there, and the man said there
vas a few there, but they were not
saying much this year.
The Toledo people have put
themselves in a fair light before the
people Of the county regarding a
court house. Before the county
seat was located last June All offer
was made by a rival town of a site.
A great many people wanted to
know what Toledo would promise.
Toledo made no promises, but some
of her citizens have actually offered
to the county a block of good level
land for a court house site, free of
any cost whatever to the county.
Another offer made by the rival
place was to build a court house
and rent it to the county for $40
per month. Toledo's citizens have
done even better than that. They
have offered to build a court house
and rent it to the county for $50
per month, and at the end of five
years donate the building to the
county. Toledo would make no
offers before election, but it is some
qualification to know that they
have not permitted themselves to be
outdone. The reason of the court
for refusing to act upon either of
the offers is not known, But what
ever the reason may have been is a
matter between the court and the
taxpayers.
A man giving the name Of A E.
LOOMS has got himself into the
tolls of the law in this county. He
has been travelling through the
country representing himself 10 be
an agent of Odds & King, of Port
land, and has been selling the
agency for the Standard dress pat
terms. He beat Mrs. Holm, of
Philomath, out of $a.75, and OH
Sunday he succeeded in getting
sI.75 from Mrs. Fish, of this place.
On Monday he went on down to
4aqulna and Newport. At the
former place he worked his game
on Miss Pygall for a small amount,
and at Newport Mrs. Smith fell a
victim to his wiles. Meanwhile it
was learned that he was working a
swlndllng game, and a warrant
charging him of obtaining money
un Ter false p~retenses was sworn
out before Recorder Stewart, and
placed in the hands of Deputy
Sheriff Ross. Monday evening
Mr.. Ross took the trail and over
hauled his man at Stanford, on

The object of this notice is to call your attention to the fact that a special rate of one fare plus $2 for the round trip has been named from all points for the above mentioned meeting.
 After consultation with several parties who are in position to know the geogra- phy of the country in such way as to select a delightful trip, the Louisville and Nashville railroad has been decided upon as the initial route for those wish dng to attend from Alabama. On account tof it's numerous connections at Cincin- lnati for Buffalo and Chautauqua Lake 1t lis without a peer for those wishing to avail themselves of a delightful summer outing.
 Another reason for the adoption of the Louisville and Nashville for the use of Hhe visitors from Alabama is the fact of dts cutting the state in half and being lo- cated so as to be the most convenient of Jany line for the greatest number of peo- 'ole.
 More detailed information or any ques- tions as to rates and route beyond Gin fnnati and stop over privileges at prin- Cipal cities will be cheerfully answered by R. F. BEASLEY,

 But" said Chairman Blair in submit ting his report, "the committee differs to- tally and radically with the president on the all-absorbing question of finance, and therefore resolve, That we demand the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 without any effort toward International agree ment, believing this great country capa- ble of taking care of itself.
 The resolutions provided that the dele gates to the national convention be in structed to vote for no man for the pres1- dential nomination not holding well known views fayoring silver.
 G. Johnson of Peabody was elected na- tional committeeman. Following are the delegates at large elected to the national convention: David Overmeyer, John Martin, Frank Bacon, J. H. Atwood, J. D. McCleverly and J. B. McInstrey.
 The great majority of the delegates in the convention are in favor of fusion with anti-republican parties, and it is eonsid- cred probable that the state convention that meets at Hutchinson August will take steps to unite with the populists in nominating state ticket and that sim liar combine will be made in each of the congressional districts.

Bradley Has Not Withdrawn.

Frankfort, Ky, June 9-The story sent out from here last night announc- ing the. withdrawal of Governor Bradley from the presidential race is authorita- lively denied. Chairman Barnett of the republican state central committee was seen tonight just as he was emerging from two hours conference with the governor and he said the latter had not even suggested in the remotest way that he had any idea of quitting the fight. MT. Barnett leaves in the morning for Washington, where, 1t is believed, he goes as representative of Governor Bradley to confer with the republican pONerS.

THE VIRGINIA CONVENTION
Will in All Likelihood Instruct for Daniel
 for Vice President.

Tor Vice President.
 Staunton, Va, June 3.-Nearly all of the members of the democratic state con- vention, which meets here tomorrow, are on the ground here tonight The silver men number about 1900 of the 1900 dele gates. They held conference tonight in Columbian hall. This was presided over by MT. Petit of F'luvania. Senator Daniel and Representatives Swanson and Peter J. Otey were present. MT. Daniel was gwen a great ovation. The conference, which was probably attended by 400 dele gates, adopted a resolution authorizing each congress .onal district to appoint three members of silver steering com mittee. The object of this committee is to recommend what steps shall be taken on adopting the unit rule and other meas ures to promote the success of the dom- inant wing of the party. Chairma n Petit read series of resolutions highly laudatory of Senator Daniels services to this state. In these the desire was eX- pressed that the name of the senator should be presented at Chicago for presl- dent or viee-president. The paper was adopted.
 It is accepted tonight that the con- vention will adopt the unit rule and in- struct for Daniel for vice president. The object of resorting to the first-named policy, as explained by MT. Swanson, is to prevent the gold national leaders from seducing any of the delegates from this state by straddle platform or unsound free silver candidates for the presidency.
 The platform which fomorrow's con- yention will adopt, 1t is understood, was brought here by Senator Daniel. It is brief and will be confined chiefly to the clear-cut and emphatic declaration for free silver at 16 to 1.
 No reference, it is understood will be made to the national administration, and but little to the question of calling a con stitutional convention in this state
 Chairman Ellison of the state commit tee, 1t is believed, will have no opposition for reelection, but he may have to take free silver committeeman. Major Otey will be the member of the national committee. At meeting tonight of the state commit tee John Bell Bigger of Richmond was chosen as temporary chairman of the convention and Joe Button of Appomat- tox for secretary. Micajah Woods of AL bermarle will be permanent chairman.
 The gold men claim that they will have 300 delegates and will make an attempt to have a sound money plank inserted in the platform.
 The silver steering committee met to- night and refused to recommend the adoption of the unit rule. A substitute instructing the delegates, however. was adopted. This allows the convention to question the loyalty to free silver of any delegate who may be suspected.
