The Home Comfort People.

Many newspapers in this vicinity are
taking up the lament of that part of its
constituency who bought Home Comfort
ranges. The scheme was this. The
agent who sold the stoves, while exact
ing an iron-clad note, promised the
greatest leniency when the time came tn
pay. When this time comes Sin on
Legree appearing individual appears on
the scene and insists on the letter of the
contract. The money must then be
forthcoming in full or the stove is taken
away from the unfortunate purchaser.
The Grant County News recently had a
column article exposing the scheme in
all it's details and is now threatened with
libel suite The Goldendale Agricul-
turist also exposed it in its last issue for
that community. The Antelope Herald

THE LAST HOURS.
The Eighth Annual District Fair Now
Matter of History.

The eighth annual fair of the Second
Eastern Oregon District Agricultural
Society came to a close Saturday When
the last note of Ma Angeline had died
away the fair had passed into history.
There was an average croud in the pa
vilion and the band rendered some ex-
cellent music. The attendance in the
afternoon at the grounds was good for
the closing day and some excellent
sports were witnessed.
The first race was matched one be-
tween Solo and Nellie Whipple. AL
though Solo had defeated Nellie Whipple
on the previous day, the talent picked
Nellie as a cure winner. In the first
heat the bay passed Solo at the quarter
pole and led from there to the wire,
winning in 2.56. The next two heats
surprised talent. The knowing ones
who backed Solo were rewarded by him
taking both heats and winning the race
Time, 2.52 and 2.55
sAf.er the trotting race, came the run
ming half-mile dash for 500, with
Lark, Pat Tucker, Blue Jay and Lady
Fisher as starters. After some jockey
ing by the boys, the flag fell and then
commenced one of the best trials of
speed ever seen on the track. A blanket
would have covered the horses at any
stage of the race. They came down the
stretch neck and neck, with Blue Jay in
the lead, but just before the wire was
reached Pat Tucker ripped by him and
won the race in 81 seconds.
The last race of the meet was three

Clark, Baby Ruth, Latah, Gen. Coxey
and Colonel T were sent for the purse.
Tom Clark was left at the post. Gen.
Coxey won the race, closely followed by

The Tearing Down Policy.

A number of Popocrats, curiosity
seekers and Republicans assembled at
the Baldwin opera house Saturday
evening on the occasion of the Bryan
meeting. Attorney A. S. Bennett was
billed, but failing to be present, the
time was taken up by w. S U'Ren.
His talk of about two hours length may
he designed in the one word-"fiighty.'
He skipped SO quickly from point to
whole field of Popocratic argument,
that it was strongly reminiscent of a
boy walking quickly along a picket
fence trying to touch every one. The
line of argument was no different than
all who have preceded him in this cam
paign-abuse of everyone but the i'm
pecunlous and improvident. So grossly
and inexcusably Insulting were his re-
marks to those who represented the
bl siness interests of the community
that many of them arose and left the
hall. 1t is not this kind of argument
that will make votes for the Bryan
cause, as they will shortly find to theil
sorrow. Villiication and abuse does
not make converts, and the entire
Bryan campaign seems to be staked or
the prejudice they will arouse agains
! the industrious and we'll to-do. Through
envy and malice they hope to win thu
fight, by taking advantage of an un
fortunate industrial condition of th'
country, brought on by eight years o
Democratic nisrule. U'Ren's voice wa
for disorganization, revolution and re
pudiation. He was to have spoken a
Dufur. but the failure of Mr.. Bennet
resulted in his lnfiction upon Th'

nothing prevent all his herders coming
out to deposit vote for Mckinley,
sound money and protection. This very
election means life or death to this Sec
ton of the country. If Mckinley is
elected, this part of the country will re-
cover some day, but If Bryan is success
full, then good bye to the sheep in
dustry."

A $4,000 Verdict.


Judge Bennett returned this morning
from Dayton, WASH, where he has been
for four days on the trial of Mrs Ellen
j. Walker against the o. r. & N. for the
killing of her husband some two years
ago on the Washington division of the
o. r. & N, between Bales junction and
Starbuck. The trial lasted four days,
and after it was given to the jury they
deliberate6 on it but two hours, render
ing verdict tor the full amount sued
for, $40 900. This verdict is the largest
ever given in the United States within
our knowledge for death. Mr.. Ben
nett spoke for forty minutes, his words
therefore possessing an average value of
$1,000 a minute. He is said to have
made very eloquent and touching plea
in behalf of the widow. which affected
the jury to tears. He also roundly
scored the railroad company for not
keeping the track in better shape. The
evidence showed that owing to the de-
fective roadbed, the engine, which was
unusually heavy, ran over an embank.
lment, the rails giving way under the
