ANOTHER POINT FOR BRYAN.
Hon. Harry Watkins Addressed a Large
Audience at the Baldwin.

| Hon. Harry Watkins Addressed a Large
Audience at the Baldwin.
| All that is necessary to convince the
least credulous that there is strong
| ryan sentiment in and about The
| Dalles. is to attend such meeting as
was held at the Baldwin opera house
last night. Fully 500 people were pres
eut, ard they listened with marked
attention to every word that was utter
ed by tho speaker. Mr.. Watkins is in
deed an orator OF much more than
ordinary ability and fairly carries his
audience away with his flights OF elo
quence. He holds that the financial
question is the great and only question
now before the people, and succeeds
we'll in convincing his hearers of the
correctness of his position. In his
speech here he very clearly showed
that the contraction Of the currency
by persistently endeavoring to main
tain the gold standard among the lead
ing nations of the world, must increase
the demand for that metal, hence en-
hance it's purchasing power, thus re-
ducing the price of the products OF
labor when measured exclusively in
that metal.
At the close of his address Mr.. Wat
kins called for three cheers for VIM ].
Bryan, and all but about half dozen
of those present rose to their feet and
sent up three rousing cheers for the
great commoner and friend of the
people.

Last night ut 45 minutes p9st Il
o'clock W. H. Lochhead' -breathed his
last, cut off suddenly in the prime ct
| life and usefulness by that dread dis.
ease, typhoid fever.
William II. Lochhead was born in
London, England, in 1857, and was 39
years of age. His father was SER
geant in the British army and came to
America when his son was quite
young, settling at Charlottetown,
Prince Edwards island, where Mr..
Lochhead was raised to manhood.
He came to The Dalles in 1887 to
work at Moody's warehouse, and went
into business on his own account in
1889, conducting a feed and commission
business in the East End.
Mr.. Lochhead was prominently con-
nected with many enterprises in our
midst, his energy and good Judgement
making him especially useful in the
fire department and public works of
all kinds.
He married Is years ago Miss Mabel
Burke of Charlottetown, who survives
him.
His mother was telegraphed for but
could not reach the bedside of her son
in time to see him alive. Kind friends
were with him however for he was the
kind of man who makes friends, true
and generous.
He was member of the Masonic
order.
True it is that death seeketh
shining mark for w. II. Lochhead
will be sadly missed in this his far west
home. Requiescat in Pace.

Anarchists Thick in Morrow County, says
Walter Pierce
W. M. Pierce, who delivered one of
those "anarchistic" speeches in Hepp-
ner Monday, came home Tuesday by
team. He also made the trip going by
team. Mr.. Pierce says one ha' only to
go over to Heppner, as a representa-
tive of free silver and the matchless
Bryan, to find hosts of strong support
ers and have cordial reception. The
Bryan club had the meeting in charge.
The stage was decorated with bunting
and flags. A number of campaign
songs were sung, and an enthusiastic
audience listened to and applauded the
sentiments expounded by the speaker.
"Anyone who sees things as they
really are in Morrow county," says
Mr.. Pierce, twill say the Bryanites
are making winning fight over there.
The Bryan club contains men of all
classes, business men, professional
men, laborers, mechanics, wool grow
ers, wheat farmers, and has member
ship which shows it to be about the
most popular institution in the city,"
At the Monday meeting the ladies of
the Bryan club presented the club
with a beautiful silk flag, which will
hereafter be displayed by the club at
each meeting.-East Oregonlan.

A Good APPOINTMENT.

We understand that Mr.. E. G. Wiley,
for the past six years, chief inspector
of government work at Cascade Locks,
has been assigned by the engineers to
the care of the big gates, and will do
the opening and shutting necessary to
let boats through, after Nov. 18th.
Our people are to be congratulated OF
this assignment. Mr.. Wiley is one of
US, has landed interests in Hood River
valley. and is'in every way compe-
tent, practical man, knows every detail
of the gate machinery and is justly
proud of a work that has been done so
largely under his supervision. 1t is
also understood that Mr.. Wiley is the
choice of the engineers for permanent
charge at the Locks, and as it will un.
doubtedly be for our best interest to
prevent that position from falling into
the hands of politicians to be used as
bait or prize for dirty campaign
work, on either side. 1t is good
time now, in advance of any definite
knowledge as to which side will be in
power, to have it clearly understood
that the keeping of Cascade Locks
shall meyer be used as political factor

AID THE CAUSE.
PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 3lst, 1896.

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 3lst, 1896.
Editor TINES -MoUNrAINEER:
The undersigned, having by due
authority been appointed sub-com
lnittee to make q final effort for raising
the balance of tho fund necessary to
secure a proper testimonial to the
battle ship "Oregon," present the fol-
towing to the people of the state:
When, in May, 1895. the general
committee was appointed by the gov
ernor, various plans were devised, each
promising good results; but for various
causes the amount required to give
proper recognition to the great honor
conferred on the state has not been
raj ed. The main cause has of course
been the stringency of the tines, but
IN addition to this, the committee has
stepped aside for various enterprises
which sought public subscriptions,
among these being local celebrations
and the exposition at Portland. The
political contest in June last also inter-
fered to some extent with the work of
the committee.
But the time is drawing near when
the magnificent battle ship Oregon"
will have been fully completed, and
may turn her prov northward to visit
the waters of the state after which she
has been named. The people of the
state owe it to themselves that a fitting
recognition of the honor accorded us
be made. The balance still left to be
raised. if all contributions and pledges
are collected, is about $500.
We regret that the people of the in
terror parts of the state have not come
forward with that liberality which
patriotic interest suggests, and this
appeal is now made to commercial
bodies, associations, churches, societ-
les, clubs and individuals. None are
asked who cannot give.
The amount contributed will come |
back to the donors hundredfold under |
the consciousness of duty performed.
Subscriptions will be received up to
and including October 81, 1896, and
should be forwarded to Henry Failing.

Rathbone Sisters Entertainment.

The Rathbone Sisters had an un.
usually enjoyable evenings entertain
ment yesterday. First and foremost a
prominent disciple of Esculapius was
strapped onto the lodge goat. and duly
initiated into mysteries of which this
deponent knoweth not
Next, a list of ten questions perth
nent to the coming winters wood pile,
were handed around. For instance,
was asked, what kind of wood would
rock the baby? Papaw wood. Ten
questions such as this stumped the
most knowing, but Mrs. DIR. Frazier
answered seven correctly, and won
first prize.
Charley Stumbling not being an fat
on wood, would not, so bore home the
BOBBY. After the prizes came an
elegant supper, prepared by a COM
mittee of which Mrs. w. H. Wilson
was chairman, and after the supper
dancing was in order until midnight.
The Rathbones never do anything
by halves, and this is said to have been
the best, even, of their usually pleas
ant evenings.

To Wear Masks For Bryan.

A Chicago dispatch bearing date of
Sept. 24th, says:
A feature of the Bryan demonstra-
tion on Chicago Day. Oct. 8, will be
division of masked men, who will
represent that they are coerced en-
ployees, who are compelled to wear
Mckinley buttons to hold their jobs.
These men will march together wear
ing black masks, to conceal their iden-
tity, and carry banners proclaiming
their ''serf-like bondage to a pitying
world" as the campaign orator would
put it.
1t is the intention of the silverites
to make this display feature of the
demonstration.

Death of Mrs. Mcclure.

Mrs. Amelia FL. Mcclure, widow of
William G. Mcclure, died at her home
near Mosier Wednesday at P. M. and
will be buried at Mosier tomorrow.
Mrs. Mcclure was an old citizen and
highly respected resident of Mosier
precinct, having settled at that place
in March, 1864. Her husband, William
C. Mcclure died in May, 1895, and
since that date her health has gradu-
ally declined, her life finally fading
away in the peaceful repose of old age.
Mrs. Mcclure had for many years been
member of the Methodist church,
and died in the faith that she would
receive the reward of well-spent life.

The "Bowery Girl. /"


This exciting drama was rendered to
good house at the Vogt lastnight and
was we'll received. The plot of the play
is deep and we'll laid, and requires some
heavy acting. The star, Lillian Keene,
as Nora HOLMAN, bowery society
leader, is indeed an actress of far more
than ordinary ability, and succeeded
in winning the applause of Dalles
theater covers whenever she appeared
on the stage; while little Helene, the
chilli of only four years, is perfect
phenomena. A happy feature of the
play was the disolving soene which
was stage effect heretofore unknown
in The Dalles. 1t may be said without
fear OF contradiction that Harry Will
liams' play is great hit, and will be
we'll received by theater goers every
where. There was only one.feature to
mar the enjoyment, and that was the
pl ~ was rushed and cut short in order
that the troupe might catch the east
bound train. This however may be
expected with all companies travelling
east, unless our theater goers can as
semble promptly at O'Clock.

THE DALLEs WATER SUPPLY.
Is it Impregnsted With Germs of
Disease?
The prevalence of typhoid fever in
The Dalles at present is somewhat
alarming. there being about 20 cases
reported, and this leads citizens to
fear that there is something wrong
with the water supply. The Dalles
water works are supplied from Mill
creek, stream that rises in the Cas-
cade mountains, and the water should
be perfectly pure, if allowed to flow
uninterrupted; but it passes through
number of farms, and IL is said flows
through numerous sheep corrals. pig
pens and cattle yards, which must i'm
pregnate the water with disease germs,
such as produce typhoid and other
fevers. The health officers of the city
and the water commission should at
once make an Investigation, and if
is found in or along the
stream that tends to impregnate the
writer it should be removed. The /.
health of the city must not be en-
dangered by lack of vigilance on the |
part of those whose duty it is to see
that the water supply is pure.

by the way, toques and bonnets of lace

many white aigrets. The Marie Stuart

middle aged women.
Wide ribbons are used in conjunction

is not the sole means by which it may be
struck. Time spent in the embroidery of
commonplace patterns is wasted. Time
spent in amateur decorative painting is
usually worse than wasted, tho result be-
ing usually positive offense to an edu-
Gated eye. Now that there are so many
charming and artistic decorative fabrics
to be obtained at small expense there is no
excuse for working elaborate scarfs and
pillows. Prettier ones may be obtained
at less cost of time and money. There are
printed denims and cotton grapes, Gre
tonnes, stamped velvets and eastern en-
broideries, all of which are more decora-
tive than anything of the sort usually cre-
ated at home. AS for amateur painting
on jars, vases, tapestry and such things, il

done really we'll, when it ceases to be de-
serving of the adjective amateur" in the
