DRIVEN TO SUICIDE.
Love and Business Troubles Were More
Than He Could Endure.

Love and Business Troubles Were More
Than He Could Endure.
Last Saturday the body of an old
man named johnson was found hang
ing to tree near his house one-fourth
of a mile from Cascade Locks, appar-
emily having been hanging there sew
eral days. From appearance johnson
had climbed into the tree, tied one
end of rope around his neck and the
other to a limb, then proceeded to
chop off the limb on which he was
standing, and had fallen in such a
manner that his neck was broken. all
surroundings indicated that it was q
case of premeditated suicide, and such
was the verdict of the cororcr's jury
empanneled by Justice Aldrich to in
quire into the cause of his death.
Johnson was Swede and about so
years Of age. He owned a small farm
near Cascade Locks and was also en-
gagged in fishing. OF late he has ap-
peared despoadent. his fishing business
having proven disastrous this year,
and it is also stated that the refusal of
a young lady to marry him added to
his sorrow. The two troubles seem to
have worked upon his mind until he
sought to end his life.

Her Exhibit OF fruits and Vegetables the
Best of All
Those who have attended the Port
land exposition are unanimous in de,
claring that Wasco county leads all
others in the exhibition of fruits and
vegetables. The display of apples, pears,
grapes, prunes, egg plant. melons and
potatoes from this county are by
far the best on exhibition in the build.
ing, and attract special attention. The
fine exhibit which Wasco county is
making has been prepared by Mr..
Schanno, and to him much credit is
due for the energy he has displayed in
bringing our exhibits before the WIS.,
itors to the exposition. An idea of the
effect our exhibits is having in Port
land can be gained from the following
item that appeared in today's Ore
gonian:
"rhe vicinity of The Dalles is one of
the most prolific sections in the state
in the way of garden truck, and sends
to this market great quantities of
berries, tomatoes, green peas and
beans, sweet corn, egg plant, melons,
grapes, etc., to say nothing of fruits.
The people of that section are looking
forw ard to q much more extensive and
remunerat've trade with this city in
all kinds of garden truck next season.
when the Cascade locks will be open.
Truck growers from all about The
Dalles can bring their vegetables, etc.,
into town and put them on board
boat in the evening and they will be
here in the morning, fresh and nice,
ready to fill the orders of dealers. The
only trouble will be to find a market
for their stuff, of which such quantities
are raised that much larger city than
Portland could be supplied. Melons,
egg plant, etc., have been sent in this
year in such quantities that prices
went down so low that some of the
shippers realized nothing on their
shipments. By shipping their stuff in
the evening and getting it here nice
and fresh in the morning when dealers
are laying in their ,tocks for the day.
it will be in much better condition,
and they can dispose of much more

Should you be victorious in Novem-

to the worlds currency. We believe
that, failing such restoration, the gold

Wasco countl

When J. l.. Story, president Of the
Bryan club of The Dalles, arose to con-
vene the meeting, he called for three
cheers for American IndrrC ndence and
the champion of the American people,
w. J. Bryan, and the building fairly
shook with the hearty responses.
Mr. Jeffreys was then introduced
and entered into discussion of the
, Chicago platform, especially those
parts that are attacked most severely
by the opposition. Those parts of the
| platform censuring the decision of the
supreme court for its decision in the
| income tax case, and denouncing the
| interference of federal courts in
matters belonging to states received
special attention. The speaker took
the position that if the platform was
seditious, those justices of the supreme
court who dissented to the opinion of
the court were also seditious, and read
from the opinions of the four dissent
ing judges. He also took the position
that whenever any one of the depart
ments of government shall have at
tanned such sacredness that it is above
criticism, our free institutions will be
threatened. In discussing the finan-
cial question. which he held was the
paramount issue of this campaign,
DIR. Jeffreys held that silver had not
deprecated appreciably, but that gold
had appreciated, and that under free
coinage of silver in this country, the
prices of the two metals would not
fuctuate as they do now, but one would
act as balance to the other, keeping
them very nearly at parity. His
speech throughout was agumentative,
and while it was not calculated to
create enthusiasm, every one of the
arguments produced carried cGnvic-
tion, and had the tendency to con-
vince the hearer of the force of his
argument. Mr.. Jeffreys possesses the
happy faculty of riviting the attention
of the audience &c his subject, and
throughout his address was frequently
applauded.
When Mr.. Clarno was introduced he
was received with a perfect ovation of
applause. He entered at once into a
discussion of the financial question,
and had not proceeded far in his dis
cussion until he convinced every
one of his hearers that he was thor
Oughly conversant with the subject.
He showed that the greatest prosper
ity the United States eyer enjoyed was
during the period when it was coming
the greatest amount of silver, when
the Bland-Allison act was in force,
from 1873 to 1890. Mr.. Clarno made
happy illustration of how every branch
of industry would be improved by the
opening of the mints to the free coin
age of silver, through increasing the
output of the precious metals, doubling
the volume of the circulating medium,
and furnishing life giving blood to the
veins of commerce. Mr.. Clarno is an
earnest and convincing speaker, anu
creates an enthusiasm that wakens a
love of independence in the hearts of
his audience.
The meeting last Friday was indeed
profitable one for the cause of Bryan,
and marked turning point in the
sentiment of the community toward
the champion of the great producing
classes of America.

Two Lives Saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction
City. ILL.,, was told by her doctors she
had consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles of DR..
Kings New Discovery completely
cured her and she says it saved her
life. Mr.. Thomas Eggers, 139 Florida
street, San Francisco, suffered from a
dreadful cold, approaching consump-
tion, tried without result everything
else then bought one bottle OF DR..
Kings New Discovery and in two
weeks was cured. He is naturally
thankful. 1t is such results, of which
these are samples, that prove the won
derful efficacy of this medicine in
coughs and colds. Free trial bottles at

DUFUR. Or. Semi. 2S. 1896

CaIT.
DUFUR. Or, Sept. 28, 1896.
ED. TINES -MoUNTAINEER:
AS l have resigned my position as
county central committeeman of the
republican party, for Ramsey precinct,
l deem it my duty to those who favored
me with that position of honor and
trust, as we'll as to the public in gen.
eral, to state in public print my reas-
ons for such action.
In my political actions 1 have always
been steadfast and conscientious re.
publican, believing that party was sim
cerely welded to the cause of good
government and rendering the great
est good to the greatest number. But
in my capacity as central committee
man have been in receipt of much
campaign literature, all calculated to
lead readers to believe that the single
gold standard policy of my party was
proposed in the interest of the masses.
1t occurs to me, from private instruc-
tions and my own investigations into
the subject, that those who are en-
deavoring to foist this policy on the
country are not wholly of those VINO
seek the greatest good to the greatest
number, and that our party has fallen
into the hands of those who are seek
ing the enhancement of the few at the
expense of the many, which principle
l cannot endorse, since am now, as 1
was prior to June lst, last, in favor of
the free coinage of silver, l6 to l, and
cannot follow my party into its sud-
den change of front.
