that led up to the tragic event and the
particulars of its enactment are as fol-
lows. as evidenced at the autopsy held
by Coroner Reber Monday afternoon:
Chas. b. Allen. a man about 40 years
OF age, a drunken. disreputable sot.
whose principal a%vocation has been tid-
ding at the country dances. some time
since became infatuated with Miss Gill

she repealed, and subsequently avoided

in Hamilton and at Victor, made, re-
marks rejecting on her character: said
he had seduced her. The girl finally

troubled thereat, appearing downcast,
and weeping at intervals for several
days. Sunday morning a neighbor met
her father and repeated the gossip as
he had heard it, and the father, very
much agitated, went to the house and
upbraided the poor girl for having been
the cause Of the talk. The family were
preparing to visit a neighbor and. in
the meantime, Miss Gilman passed in
to an adjoining room, remaining a few
minutes. In a short time her strange
appearance attracted the attention of
the family: she rapidly grew worse,
going into CON ulsions, and died in 20
minutes in great agony. Just before
her death she admitted she had taken
the poison. The authorities were no.
titled and Coroner Reber held an au.
topsy over the remains and a verdict
was returned setting forth that she had
come to her death by a dose of strych-
nine, self administered. The funeral
was held Tuesday at Up. m, the body
being inferred in the Victor cemetery.
Miss Gilman would have been Is years
old in May, and was a remarkable pre-
possessing girl, rapidly budding into
wOmanhood, bright and engaging,
quiet and ladylike in her %demeanor,
and very sensitive. Her education had
been somewhat neglected on account
Of the remOteness OF d school in the
neiyhborhood.
The feeling in the neighborhood is
very strong against Allen, the s%curril-
Gus scoundrel. whose vile. slandcrous
tongue drove her to despair and sui

it is very probable he viii be hung to

JUDGE BENEFITS SPEECH.


Judge Benefits speech at the
courthouse last evening was a re-
markable one in many respects.
The speaker is skilled in subtle argu-
ment, and understands How to pre-
sent his facts in their strongest
light, hiding their unfaEorable sides
and showing pleasing Iexterior.
While Judge Bennett can in some
respects be eomplimented upon his
effort last evening, we doubt if he
carried conviction to many minds.
Mr.. Bennett declared that the Will
son bill was a much better measure
than its predecessor, the Mckinley
bill. The tariff, he said, is great
humbug. 1t is a means of highway
robbery and takes from the pockets
of the West to fill those of the East.
ern manufacturers. The East, ac-
cording to Judge Bennett does not
like the West and for every dollar
we pay it for manufactured goods it
returns not one. CAT this point the
speaker failed to remind his hearers
of the immense amount of salmon,
fruit and wool shipped from the Pa
cifio coast to the people of the East.)
The speaker declared that the Pacific
coast wae nearer England in COM
mercial relations than to the eastern
part of the United States.
Mr.. Bennett is opposed to manu-
factures, and said The Dalles should
seek to be commercial city. with
out the aid of such institutions.
He drew a picture of this city grow
ing rich through commerce with the
outside world, but was not very
specific as to details.
Free silver, says Mr.. Bennett, is
what the country needs: lots Of
money, and if it takes too long to
coin the silver bullion, set the presses
TO work and grind out silver certifi-
Gates. Like all other Democrats, he
was very willing to put the tariff in
the background and make the finan-
cial question the absorbing one.
Mr.. Bennett asked for the votes of
Republicans, Democrats and Popu-
lists; told the Republicans to lay
aside their principles and vote for
him, but admonished the Democrats
to cling to the party standard and
vote for the regular nominee.
Judge Bennett is a free trader in
practice and belief. His talk about
tariff on wool is done to catch the
wool-growers vote. The country is
looking to Oregon to render its ver-
vict whether or not the Wilson bill
has been a benefit or detriment to
the country; whether the people
want a protective tariff or whether
our markets should be open to the
competition of the world, our fac
tories closed down and laborers
starving.
If you believe the last three years
have been prosperous for the coun- t
try, vote for Judge Bennett But if
not, vote against the system for /
which he is the exponent.
