First Time.

Notification of Their Nomination

tion and was Driven in Doors by
a Severe Rainstorm

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Bryan will
make his Washington speech from the
east front of the capitol, if the present
program. is adhered to. He is to be
in this city next Saturday, the 10Th
inst, which is the Tooth anniversary of
Washington's farewell address. The
local committee having charge of the
reception conceived the idea of making
the occasion celebration of the ami
versary and concluded that in so doing
no more appropriate place could be
selected than the capitol grounds.
They accordingly made application to
Vice-President Stevenson and Speaker
Reed, in whom the law vests the con-
troll of the capitol grounds. kilograms
asking permission to hold the meeting
there were sent out yesterday. The
vice-president responded promptly,
giving his sanction, but Mr.. Reeds
reply was not received until some time
later, though he was willing.
1t is now the intention of the COM
mittee to erect platform on the east
front of the capitol, where the inaug-
ural addresses of the presidents are
made. The grounds in front of the
stand afford standing room to 10000 or
$4,000 people. General Black, chair
man of the national association of
democratic clubs, has issued an ad-
dress asking clubs throughout the
country to celebrate the anniversary
by meeting and reading the faI ewell
address. He says in his letter that the
request is made at the suggestion of
Mr.. BRYAN.

LATIN and GERMAN
Taught in This City.
GERMAN.

The undersigned desires to organize class in
German. Every American citizen who can af-
ford both time and expense ought to be master

duced in her world-renowned universities.
Those who would drink from these inexhaustible
and yet unadulterated fountains Of knowledge,
key to them, The undersigned will organize a
class in German, and will begin with actual
work on the first day of September. The class
will meet two or three times week in the
evening or when most convenient to the pupils.
Rapid progress guaranteed to these who Will
get down to earnest labor. All who desire to
participate in this work will please announce
their intention TO the undersigned at an early
date, as the class will be limited to certain
number. Charges will be very reasonable.
LATIN
The undersigned will also organize class in
Latin. There are SO many reasons why those
who desire to advance their knowledge beyond
a common school education should take at least
a course in Latin, that pro )aDly everybody is
familiar with at least some of them. will not
take space here 10 speak of the beauties of the
Latin language nor Of the many advantages in
life possessed by those who have mastered it. Z
will here only announce my intention to organ
tced to those who will work hard. Charges
very reasonable. All desiring instruction in
Latin are kindly requested to announce their
intention to the undersigned before September,
if possible.
Awaiting your application, am very respect
fully yours, l.. GREY,

Skeletons of TWO Men Unearthed

ASTORIA, Or, Sept. 1.-THE grad
ers employed on the route of the
Astoria & Columbia River railroad un-
earthed the skeletons of two men
Saturday last, on the West farm, at
Westport, and speculation is now rife
as to whether or not murder was
committed wears ago. After the dis
covery O. the skeletons, two old
muskets we're found and $40 gold piece
of the coinage of 1855. The muskets
are of an ancient pattern and long
since went out of use. The clothing
had entirely rotted from the remains,
and nothing could be found to throw
light on the mystery. None of the
residents of Westport have any recol-
lection of the disappearanceof any set
tiers in that locality, nor have they
ever heard of any bodies being buried
there.

Bids Opened for the Construction of Thre
Ships.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-At the
navy department today bids were
opeded for building the three coast
line battle-ships authorized by con-
gress at its last session. Several prom
inent shipbuilders have already arrived
to witness the opening. Among these
are President Scott, of the Union iron
works; John Deloge, of Camden, and
Charles Cramp, of the Cramp ship
works, Philadelphia. The cost of each
of these vessels is limited by law to
So, 900, exclusive of armament.
The new vessels are to be com mbina-
tions of the best features of the Iowa
and Kearsarge, now under construc-
tion, modified by such improvements as
experience has suggested. They will
be 368 feet long on the water line, and
Y feet wide in the middle. The vessels
will be propelled by engines of 10000
horsepower and will be expected to
make 16 knots an hour.
Offensively, each of the three new
ships will possess two very powerful
batteries. The main battery will be
composed of four 13-inch breechload-
ing rifles and IA 6.inch rapid-fire rifles.
The secondary battery designed to re-
pei torpedo-boats and light craft and to
sweep the unarmored parts of an en-
emy, will consist of 16 6-pound rapid
Ere guns, foGr II porud ra Pfd Pfia ere. four
machine or Gatling guns and one field

Husband and wife Go Down in the Mad
Waters.
Just before dusk Monday George
Turner and wife and James Johnson,
commonly called "Jinks," were on the
river in small boat just above AL
Davis fish wheel, one mile east OF The
Dalles, when the current, which is
very strong at that point, began pulling
them toward the wheel. Turner be-
came frightened, and in his attempt to
throw the boat away from the wheel,
knocked one of the ores out Of John
sons hand. This threw the boat under
meath the scow and Mr.. and Mrs,
Turner into the water, while Johnson
managed to get hold Of rope and
scrambled upon the scow. In his ef-
ort to save himself Johnson lost sight
of Mr.. and Mrs. Turner, and supposes
they were carried underneath the
wheel. The water is very dangerous in
the vicinity of where they were
drowned and it is possible the bodies
will not be recovered.
All three of the parties were colored
people, and the Turner'S have resided
In The Dalles many years, Mr.. Turner
being a son of the late Mrs. Whitaker,
who died in Portland hospital short
time ago.

AS there will be numerous requests
for reduced rates on account of polit-
ical meetings during the coming con-
test it has been decided that in order
to treat all parties alike, one fare
rate will be made by the o. r. & N.
Company for various meetings Of this
character. This of course, is intended
only for occasions where there is suffi-
cient number to justify reduction in
rates. This is done so that there will
be no partiality in favor of any one
party. e. e. LYLE,

and Sev.Ii feIectors


PEUBLo, Sept. 11-Bryan and Sewall
electors and fusion with the national
silver party, with a populist for gov
ernor, is the result of the session of
the peoples party convention. Nor
ton S. Bailey, judge of the district
court at Canyon City, was nominated
by acclamation for governor. Final
settlement of the question of Sewall
or Watson was reached by withdraw.
ing the resolution which caused such
an uproar last night, iustructing Thos.
M. Patterson, the populist on the
union silver electoral ticket, to vote
for Watson, if so doing would not elect
Hobart. Patterson said he could not
accept such instructions, and if it were
given he must decline the nomination.
This paved the way for fusion with the
silver party convention in Denver,
and, after two days of waiting, matters
began to crystalize. Mr.. Patterson
was given full power to treat with the
silver party, negotiations with the
democrats and silver republicans being
declared off at the morning session for
IAN honorable fusion on Bryan and
Sewall and satisfactory state ticket,
with Judge Bailey at the head"

NEW YORK, Sert. 11.-Information
has reached this city that the steamer
Three Friends, which left Jackson
vile last Friday, hrs again been sue
cessful in landing an expedition in
Cuba, in spite of the watchfulness OF
the Spanish war vessels which con-
stantly patrol the coast. The expedi-
tion was landed precisely where the
Spanish navy department exerts its
greatest vigilance, on the coast of
Pinar del Rio province, where few
weeks ago it was reported that the
Cuban leader, Antonio Maceo, was in
sore need of ammunition and clothing
for his troops. The landing was
effected last Monday near Bahia
Honda, where detachment of Maceo's
forces which had been sent to wait for
the arrival of the expedition took
charge of it the moment the cargo
reached the beach.
While it is alleged that DR.. Joaquin
Castillo, chief surgeon of the Cuban
army, and subdelegate in the United
States of the Cuban rebel government,
was the manager of the expedition, it
is well known In Cuban circles in this
city that the military commander of it
was Brigadier Juan Ruiz Rivera, a
native of Porto Rico, who fought in
the Cuban army during the 10 years
war.
The cargo which was landed con-
sisted of HOS rifles, 100000 rounds of
ammunition, one pneumatic dynamite
gun, 1000 pounds of dynamite, 1000
machetes and a large supply of medical
stores and clothing. The rifles are
adapted for the Mauser cart
ridge used by the Spanish army,
supply of which the Cuhans allege can
be, captured or purchased from the |
Spanish troops in Cuba. The dyna-
mite gun is the most priced feature of
this expedition, and the men who are |
to handle it were sent down for the |
purpose, and have good practice in the
way of using it to good advantage.

Went Through a Bridge.

EUREKA, Cal, Sept. 13.--A fatal
railroad accident occurred this after
noon five miles north of Arcata, which
resulted in the death of four persons
and the serious, if not fatal injury of
several others. The train which leaves
Arcata at 4:30 for Corbel, went through
the bridge across Mad river, both
coaches, engine and box-car being
precipitated to the river bed below,
about 40 feet.
This is the worst accident that ever
occurred in Humboldt, and the tele-
phone and telegraph offices were be-
sieged for news. TIE news spread
quickly and excited groups discussed
the accident on the streets and about
the offices. Owing to the distance of
the scene of the accident, further par
ticulars were not obtaiDable tonight.

An oft-Repeated Blunder.

NILES, Mich, Sept. 14.--Peter War
ner, well-to-do farmer living near
Edwardsburg, lost considerable money
recently by the failure of the Citizens
bank in that place. A few weeks ago
he disposed of some real estate for S12,-
600, and, having lost faith in banks,
placed his money for safekeeping in a
stove in the parlor, which had been
unused for the summer. Last Friday
night his wife, who did not know the
money was in the stove, built a ire
and the package of bills was destroyed.
Warner is almost frantic over his loss.

is THIS NOT COERCION .
The Goodyear Rubber Company Tell TheIi
Iaborers What They Nav Fxpect.

/
Laborers What They May Expect.
The rule of the corporations is on,
says the Portland Dispatch. Their
first gun in behalf of Mckinley was
fired yesterday afternoon. The cam
paign was inaugurated by the Good
year Rubber Company, one of the
greatest monopolies in the country.
The Goodyear company has begun
the fight in way that is peculiar to
all rich, dominating corporations. It
uses what, to all intents and purposes,
is intimidation, and therefore viola
tion of the federal election laws. 1t
has done nothing more nor less than
cause to be posted in conspicuous
places in its retail store on First and
Oak streets the following typewritten
notice, or, to define it more properly,
threat:
1.-THE stockholders and officers Of the
Goodyear Rubber Company wish to
have it distinctly understood that a
vote for Bryan and Sewall on the part
of any of its employees will be regarded
as an act committed directly against
the welfare of the company and its en-
ployes; and any employe working for
or voting the above mentioned ticket
in the coming election may expect to
be regarded py the officers as antago-
nistic to the company.
(Signed) r. II. PEAsE,
Vice-president and manager, per A.
M. Minott."
There are two such notices posted in
the Goodyear company's store. One,
is on the window of the managers
Office, where it attracts the attention
of every clerk and every spectator
passing in or out. The other is posted
on supporting beam of the elevator
in the shipping department., whic,.
faces on Oak street, where it may be
seen by every man in the corporations
employ.
The Goodyear company, which has
adopted such questionable means to
further the election of Mckinley, is
one of the larger, if not the largest,
manufacturing and dealing
exclusively in rubber goods in the
country. Its annual business runs far
up into the millions. It is an octopus.
aud its arms are stretched over all
parts of the country. Its factory is
located at Akron, Ohio, and its head
officers are fast friends of Major Nc
Kinley and firm believers 10 the doc
trine OF McKinleyism.
The Goodyear company is not the
only TRUST that's compelling its en-
ployes TO support Mckinley and Ho-
bart. Many other wealthy eastern
ore dofnz the same thing.
but their head officers have not had
the courage of those of the rubber
and they dare not post
notices informing their employees that
\ vote for Bryan and Sewall would be
to their 1.-THE corporation's)
interests.
Thus the campaign Of education"
yoes merrily on. Before the week Is
,ut, it is probable that every local cor
,oration and every foreign corporation
having offices or depots here will have
heir employees educated TO such fine
'oint that they (the wage earners) will
'e fully possessed of the knowledge
hat vote for Bryan and Sewall will
mean discharge and disgrace for their
'ortion. For the force law is now in
fleet in Portland and will remain in
fleet until after the election.
