to surrender.
A special to the Chicago Record says:
The situation has come to a head
rapidly since Thomas Taggart an

now every democrat Of prominence
says Shively will be nominated by ac-
elamation. He is an out-and-out free
silver man. At one time he was tinged
with greenbaekism and when that
passed away he became an advocate Of
the independent coinage of silver. He
has served his district three full terms
and one short term in congress. He u

The people Of the United Kingdom of

: sustain the reputation Of being very 70
bust drinkers. They number at the
present time 80, 130, 900, and the total
cost Of their wine. beer and alcoholic
liquors.. divided by this sum, shows
: an average expenditure of $i8.1S per
annum for every man, woman and child
In the realm. Contrary to the general
Impression, the English drink more
: than the Scotch. and the Irish less than
sither. The ratio Of the English ex-
penditure for drink is SIS. 40, the Scotch

annum. These at least were the figures
Of 1895, which seems to be considered

FIRST CAR OF FRUIT.
Peach Plums Lead the Season--AII Fruit
VIII BE Well Packed.

The first car of fruit left The Da1les
last night billed for Chicago. 1t con-
sisted entirely of peach plums. There
were 800 boxes, divided as follows: A.
S. Bennett 66S, NJ. NJ. Cushing II, Robt.
Cooper 20, w. II. Taylor l3, Marshal
Hill "a, E. Lane 13, o. D. Taylor 8. The
car was shipped by The Dalles Commits
sion Co. and consigned to Porter Bros.
The fruit may go to Chicago nnbroken
or it may be diverted to other points.
Mr.. Stadelman Gays it is the finest car
load of peach plums that ever went out
lof The Dalles. This is because Of the
packing. There is not an overripe plum
in the lot, and nearly all were picked at
Iust the right time, tride green. The car
Ishould bring the top price. There will
be two more cars of this same fruit the
tomorrow night. About 300 boxes of it
will come from Root, Sellinger and
Elliot, Mosier.
lesson has been learned from last
year, very important one. That is
that all fruit, to command paying prices,
must be properly packed. California
has been the teacher and Oregon has
finally become the pupil. The car of
fruit which left last night was splendidly
and Systematically packed. An expe-
rienced packer was employed by The
Dalles Commission Co., who has taught
and is teaching others how to pack the
fruit. He goes out to some orchard. and
instructs number of subordinates, and
when they become expert enough, goes
to another. In this way all of our fruit
men will be enabled to have expert
enced packers, which means from so to
100 per cent. more for their fruit. Fair
ly ripe fruit may be shipped with safety
if it is assorted. But ripe and green
plum or peach must not be packed side

Across the tempestuous Columbia the
old scow at Arlington refused to be used
as pleasure craft for crowd of jolly
Arlingtonians and she grounded. Capt.
Nelson, R. E. Smith, R. T. Cox, A. w.

had started for Long Island on hunt
ing expedition Tuesday morning. The
wind was up stream and all things favor
ing pleasant journey. About five
miles above town the old scow lurched,
reeled and began rapidly settling. The
captain and crew took to the life boat,
which they had taken the precaution to
have with them, and reached the shore
which fortunately was but few fathoms
away. Their stock of provision, ammu-
milton, beds, guns and fishing tackle was
safely transferred to the small boat and
the whole crowd reached Arlington in
time to catch freight train and proceed
on their way.-Arlington Record.

Funeral of Frances Kreft.

The last of the sad chapter of the &C
cident OF Wednesday evening was the
burial of Frances Kreft today. The
funeral occurred at the residence of the
parents on Ninth street at 2 o'clock p.
m. A very large number of friends and
acquaintance of the family were pres
ent to pay their final respects to the de-
ceased, among them many of her school
girl friends. The funeral was largely
attended by members of the Degree of
Honor and A. 0. U. W., of which or
ders the deceased's parents are mem
bers. The sermon was preached by
Rev. L. Gray, the Lutheran minister,
which was. the faith accepted by the de-
ceased. He spoke very fittingly of her
virtues and pictured the life beyond the
grave in hopeful colors, as warranted by
the Christian faith.
A slight accident occurred as the fu-
neral train were starting to leave for the
grave. The carriage in which we're
seated Messrs. Geo. Kellar and G. L.
Gilbert was pressed against a wall oi
rock by the other carriages and resulted
in crushing q wheel. The horse was un.
