he has been elected. Mr.. Ellis is OF heavy
build, has blue eyes, q full dark beard and
is about As years old.
The Congressman says that never before
was there such fght waged in Oregon as
during the recent campaign. There were
speakers out all the time, and Mr.. Ellis
took a very lively part in the fray.
"We carried my district which is the
second, by 1000 majority for Mckinley" +"
said he, 'but over in the Willamette they
went back on US, bringing in Democratic
majority OF about 100. This left the
State to the Republicans by about 2300.
MY Congressional district embraces all
east OF the Cascade Mountains, except
Lake and Klamath counties and The river
counties of the Columbia west of the Cas-
cades. The wool industry is very inn
portant in it, and the question of the tariff
was great issue in the campaign. Silver
did not cut so much of hgure. except
along the edges of Nevada and Idaho in
Oregon.
Business has improved a good deal in
Oregon lately. 1t has a very much
healthier tone. Sheep have advanced
10 and 20 cents head and wool is
going up. There is q bright outlook for
the State. The Oregon Legislature will
elect United States Senator this winter
and in my Judgment Senator Mitchell will
continues very popular. He did some
great work in the recent campaign. He
was speaking everywhere.
II think the Pacific Coast should gee a
member in the next Cabinet. The position
should be the Secretaryship of the In
terror or the Postmaster-Generalshi We
have no pronounced candidates in Oregon
but suppose there may be yet However,
The coast should be represented.
Then in Oregon we would like to see
the Dingiey bill become law. We would
like 10 see the tariff raised temporarily on
wool, lumber and some other things till
the Mckinley bill could be passed. If We
could get the Dingley bill, though, it
would give US the temporary relief we
need.
There is one other thing that Oregon
would like to see accom- piisned this win
ter in Congress, and that is the passage of
q bill pensioning veterans of all Indian
wars prior to and including the year 1856
There are about 1000 ex-veterans and their
widows on the Pacific Coast. think il is
time something was done for them, and l
am going to try 10 get 1t this winter. The
pension desired is $12 month.
Besides these two bills we, OF course,
want 10 aid in every way we can the Mica

DRUNK FOR TWO, YEARS.
Mrs. O'Connor Tells of the Wild Career
of Her Late Husband.

oi hcr ASdtc
Mrs. Francis Adelaide O'Connor, widow
OF the late jeremiah o 'Gonnor, sat in Judge
Coffey's court yesterday and explained why
she thought Mr.. o. O'Connor was of unsound
mind when he made his will. her name
being left out of that interesting document
altogether.
Mrs. O'Connor testified that she was
married in 1889 and for about two months
her married life was happy, although Mr..
OConnor was her second husband. The
first quarter of the year had scarcely
passed when her lord began TO drink 10
excess. He would abuse her when he was
drunk, she said, pulling her about the
floor by the hair, knocking her down, lock-
ing her out doors at night and in other
ways treated her brutally when she refused
10 get whisky for him. She said that in
the last two years of her lie he was so
drunk that he often did not know where
he vas.
Such treatment palled on her, Mrs.
OConnor said, and she left her husband S
bed and board, but as the fault was all his,
she thought she ought to have share OF
the property.
Attorney Kalloch was curious to know
how much liquor the lamented Mr..
O'Connor was able to consume. The
widow said that he always brought home
bottle if he was downtown during the
day, but in the last two years it was
his custom TO send her for whisky. She
was unable TO tell how much her hus-
hands bottle held. but she always took a
flask at night and bought so cents worth.
all of which he drank. This continued
every night fer two years He sent her to
regular liquor-store on Valencia street
because he said they gave more at a
liquor-store than at a grocery.
When Mr.. O'Connor remained at home
IN the day he sent her TO buy whisky, 10
cents worth at time. She often went
six times, and not infrequently seven and
eight times, but she drew the line at nine
times, and then be won d beat her.

NEW YORK BANKS.
From Denver News.

From Denver News.
The kilograms have announced that
the country banks are not returning
their deposits to the New York banks
and as consequence the latter had
no surplus funds for the discount Of
commercial paper.
For this unusual state of affairs the
New York banks have ne one but
themselves to blame. They have
preached panic and howled so long
and loud over "53-cent dollars" that
even country bankers have bugun to
disply a decided lack of that elusive
quality known in financial circles as
confidence" and decided to hold on
to their own reserves. 1t will be well
If they continue TO do so. There has
been too much concentrating of funds
in New York city OF late years, and it
would be well if the law proposed by
Mr.. Teller were passed to prevent it.
This practice of massing all the
available funds of the country in a
single city has been the fruitful cause
of many financial ills. but it was never
supposed that the New York banks
would find themselves deprived Of
these funds in so sudden a manner.
Whether they realize the significance
of the change is doubtful, for gen
uine reason is never given for any
thing by a New York banker. All
they know is that the currency sent
out to move the crops is not flowing
back, and they are at a loss TO account
for It, Doubtless this is another Of
the evils attributable purely to the
''silver agitation" and The News is
inclined to believe it is. The "silvcr
agitation" has brought to the surface
lot Of financial quacks and idiots
who have talked about "53-ccnt doll
ars" so earnestly and with so much
apparent sincerity that the country
bankers do not propose to take any
chances at the hands of the sharp
flnanciers on Manhattan islrnd. They
do not propose to send down good 100
cent dollars to Wall street and be
paid back in '53-cent dollars" which
they know the New Workers would do
if they only had the chance, and the
countrymen do not intend to take any
risk. The bankers of Manhattan is
land are not paragons of honesty.
They would pay in "53 cent dollars" if
they could.

At the beginning Of tho war there
were a lot of raw" soldiers. who,
though ardent fellows and good fight
ers, were not up to the West Point
standard on military matters. At War
rentnn, Va, ono of the new companies
happened to bo stationed early i'll the
conflict, aud many were tho lessons that
had to lo learned By the earnest but
ignorant southerners, who had but a
slight idea Of tho rigid rules of warlike
discipline. But on tho whole they did
well.
1t was ono balmy September evening.
just that time Of the year when the cool
breeze is laden with the rich odUrs Of
tho dying leaves and full of an exhila-
rating crispiness thlt geoms to Gil one s
blood with dreams Of love and happi-
ness. Tho moon was just pecping from
behind Il bank Of clouds resting on the
crests of the Blue Ridge. and the line
Of light crept down the sides and crawl
ed across the fields Of waving curh and
the meadows full of chirping insects,
About in the field were scattered tie

meath them tho tired mGn We're deep i'll

One of the most ignorant Iuon had
been put out as picket and Tor hours
he trod his heat, watching with eager
eye the lights from the distant farm
houses, lest some FIRE Of an enemy s
camp break out into the gloom. The air
was warm and fragrant, and tho sol
dier's mind was full Of tho romance Of
tho situation.
Presently tho moon sank behind the
dark billows Of the cloud bank and the
world was wrapped in silence and dark
ness. But in each bush there sparkled
a glowwcr1n, and about in the air cir
culatod some Of the bright insects known
as lightning bugs, whose tiny tails
arc seemingly pointed with fire.
Now tho sOntry suddenly became
alarmed and gave the signal. and tho
camp was soon in turmoil. The men,
hastily awakened from their sleep, be-
gan 20 saddle up, and were full Of do
light at tho thought Of meeting tho enc
