One hears good deal about the pangs
thathave filled men and women with woe.
but little is said OF the menageries brought
to America every year. or carried hither
and yon in wave-tossed boats.
Lions and tigers may be majestic when
they have unwavering earth or rock against
their paws, but seasick cat OF these tribes
is as forlorn as any man ever was, and
Gocsn't look a bit more kingiy than wet
rabbit. Even its roars and growis have a
weeping sound in them, quite in keeping
with tile general appearance OF the beast.
A monkey Is as pitiful an object when it
is seasick as any other beast SO stricken.
and its forlorn facial expression is so human
like and the way It clasps its paws across
its stomach is so natural that the man who
rs not necessarily seasick sees something TO
laugh at in the misery OF the creature. Not
SO with the seasick man. IL he sees a sea-
sick monkey he is sure to swear furiousiy,
thinking the poor thing is mocking him.

| There was q special meeting of the
common council held last evening
presided over by Mayor Menefee and
attended by all the councilmen.
The mayor, on convening the meet.
ing, announced that the object for
which the council was convened was
to select city marshal, and placed
the name of L. S. Davis before the
councilmen for their consideration.
The vote on confirmation stood four for
and five against.
The name of Jess W. Blakeney was
proposed by the mayor and his con-
irmation was rejected by vote of five
to three. The mayor then appointed
Chas. W. Lauer and the appointment
was confirmed by vote of five to four.
The petition of J. E. Barnett and
others for the opening of street on
the bluff was referred to the committee
on streets and public property, after
which the council adjourned.
Charles F. Lauer, the new marshal,
is an old resident of The Dalles, and
has served as member of the common
council for more than three years,
having first been appointed to fill
vacancy, and was afterward elected in
1898. He possesses every qualification
for an efficient marshal, and through
his long service in the council he has
become familiar with the requirements
of the city government, hence under
his supervision of the Office to which
he has been appointed. that branch of
the municipal government should be
we'll administered.

A Colorado Mine.

While Colorado is noted for its
mineral wealth it is generally looked
upon as purely silver-producing
country, however there are many valu'

mines in the Cripple Creek district.
That district is almost wholly gold.

of the best gold prospects in the
nation. Among the many fattering
prospects in that district are the diff
ferent properties held by the Golden
Rod Mining Co, of which E. D. Jocelyn,
who is visiting in The Dalles, is a re-
preventative. A blue print of the
company's holdings is exhibited in
this Office, and should any of our
capitalists desire to invest. in the
stock of this company they are invited
to call and inspect the prospectus or
confer with Mr.. Jocelyn.

The case of Peter Stack vs.. G. M.
Grimes in Justice Filloon's court was
settled today. The case was one
wherein Mr.. Stack had replevined a
steer Mr.. Grimes had bought from an
other party, and on showing being
made that the steer was the property
of the plaintiff, Mr.. Grimes readily
consented to giving it up.
One scarcely knows what to believe
with reference to the locks at Cas-
cades since so many reports have been
afioat of late regarding the certainty
OF their completion this year. A few
days ago it was generally understood
that the Day Bros. had been awarded
the contract for finishing the inner
walls, but a gentleman who inter-
viewed them yesterday was informed
that such is not the case, that the con-
tract has not yet been approved by the
department. However they are at
work getting out rock for the walls,
which would appear to indicate they
have assurance that that they will be
given the job.

A REMARKABLE INCIDENT.
A Child Falls From Fast Moving Train
and Escapes Unhurt.

A Child Falls From Fast Moving Train
and Escapes Unhurt
The East Oregonian says that
passenger on Sundays train tells of a
remarkable incident that occurred
Saturday out on TIE plains east of
Oregon on the line of the Union PACT.
f1c. A lady was travelling on the train
with a three-year. old baby. She left
the child in the seat at an open window
and went to the end of the car to get
drink of water. During the moment-
ary absence of the mother, the baby
climbed into the window and before it
could be reached, fell out of the car,
the train running at full speed. There
was great excitement and the mother
was frantic. No one thought of the
bell cord, but several people went
racing up and down looking for the
conductor. By the time he was found
80 much distance had been covered
since the accident happened that he
refused to stop the train.
With the mother almost crazed at
the thought of her baby being dashed
to pieces and its mangled body left on
the plains, the train proceeded to the
next station. From this point word
was telegraphed back to the train
which was following to look out for
baby.
The mother waited at the station for
the arrival of the other train, and was
filed with unbounded Joy, when the
conductor placed in her arms the little
loved one, not only alive, but unhurt.
It seems that in falling from the win
dow the child had fortunately fallen
clear of the track and landed in the
heavy grass and weeds beyond. 1t
crawled farther away from the rails, on
to raised piece of ground, and there
cried itself to sleep over its uninten-
tioual desertion by mother and friends,
and was still sweetly sleeping the sleep
of childhood when found,

SILVER MEN COMBINE.
A Fusion Electoral Ticket Placed In
Nomination.

A Fusion Electoral Ticket Placed In
Nomination.
Repl esentatives of the democratic
and populist executive committees met
with a number of prominent silver
republicans in Portland during the
week, and effected an arrangement
whereby the advocates of silver can
ombihe on an electoral ticket in this
state; and all their votes can be cast
for Bryan for president. The popu-
lists were allowed to name two cleo
tors, the democrats and the silver
republicans one each. The choice of the
populists fell upon Judge'M L. Ohm
stead, of Baker City, and Harry Wat
kins, of McMinnville. The democrats
selected Hon. L. N. Butler. OF Dallas,
and the silver republicans E. Hofer,
editor of the Salem Journal.
After long consultation among rep
resentaiiyes of the different parties,
the compromise was amicably effected,
the gentlemen who had been pre-
yiously nominated willingly fling their
Withdrawals. By this arrangement it
is assured that the silver forces of the
state will consolidate, and now the is
sues can be squarely drawn between
Bryan and Mckinley.

SHUT IN FROM COMMERCE.

A Country That Would Be Mace Para
disc by the Opening of the Columbia.
| There is no section of the Northwest
that is susceptible of more develop
ment or has brighter future than
that lying north of the Columbia river
for 100 miles east of Cello. But at
present it is comparatively shut off
from communication with the outside
world, through not having any railroad
facilities and being unable to use the
Columbia river as a thoroughfare over
which to transport its products to
market. In that section is vast
territory susceptible of high state of
cultivation, with rich soil, fine
| climate and abundance of water for ir-
rigation purposes, section well
suited to fruit culture; but without
means of transportation, there is no
incentive to induce holders of land to
develope the natural resources, since
they have no means of getting their
products to market.
The possibilities of that section seem
to be unlimited whenever transporta-
tion facilities are offered. A railroad
to that section seems impracticable.
nor is it desirable, when cheaper
means are within reach. The natural
outlet for that country is the Columbia
river, whenever the distractions to
navigation at Cello are overcome.
Whenever this is accomplished the
section above referred to will become
one .of the greatest fruit and melon
producing sections of the Northwest,
for it has all the natural requirements
to make of it a perfect garden spot, but
at present there is no way of reaching
market, hence no incentive for produc-
ing anything except to supply the local
demand. However, when the boat
railway is completed, if it ever is, those
who reside in that section will find
market for their products, since they
will have access to the outside world.
With such sections to be opened up by
the opening OF the river, the represen-
tatives, both of Oregon and Washing
ton, should be stirred to active
work,

POLlTICTs IN BUSINESS.

A Correspondent Believes it to be out o
Place.
ED. TINES -MoUNrAINEER:
1t seems there has been a new de
| parture in campaigning on the part oi
the supposed "business men" in thi;
city.
Heretofore the so-called "business
men" have contented themselves with
different systems of moral coercion ad.
dressed to their employees, for the pur-
pose either of persuading or compell-
ing them to vote for Mckinley.
Now it seems it is proposed to adopt
similar methods towards their custom
ers, and there is to be seen in the
windows and on the counters of some of
the so-called "busipess men" flaming
posters advertising the merits of Nc
Kinley and his cause, and .detracting
from that of Mr.. Bryan.
What would we think of the merch-
ant who would assail every man,
woman and child who came into his
store with political argument in
favor of his particular candidate? and
what better is it to flaunt q poster of
that kind in the face of every customer
who comes into his store? I have al
ways believed in separating business
from politics, and I have always
patronized gold standard or re-
publican merchant as readily as free
silver or democratic one; but it seems
that these gold standard "business"
men are more anxious to elect Nc
Kinley than they are to do business, or
at least it is supposed that they do not
want the custom of men and women
who sbelieve in free silver and who
intend to vote for Mr.. Bryan.
Men who favor the cause of Mr..
Bryan believe the statements on these
flaming posters to be entirely false,
and to have them thrust by a merchant
in their face every time they go into
his store to buy spool of thread or a
pound of sugar, seems very much like
an insult.
I do not know how other silver men
feel, but to my mind the thrusting of
politics into the face of people who
come to place to do business, is a
violation of every rule of good taste
and decency.
Of course these men have legal
right to do this thing if they wish to,
just as they would have right to
placard their persons with Mckinley
advertisements on Sunday morning
when they go to church, if they saw
lit. AS far as 1 am concerned, I am
very sure that shall never go in a
store, which thrusts politics in my
ACE, to buy goods, when can obtain
,hem in one which is conducted in |
better taste. OBSERVER.

has been the Nebraska statesmen and
the cause of silver are being generally
discussed, while Major Mckinley and
gold are scarcely mentioned. The
merchants and farmers of Missouri aud
other Middle Western states he visited
are strong advocates OF "sound money"
but they put different Interpretation
on the term than do some of the news
paper writers of the day. They hold
that silver is the soundest of "sourd
moneys" while gold is the money of
appreciation. Mr.. Norman says the
universal opinion in sections he has
visited is that Bryan will carry every
state west Of the Mississippi and ali
those south OF Pennsylvania, while
