..They Are the People,

The legislators of Oregon and Wash.
ington are now in session, and for the
time being "they are the people. 4"
The day is not far distant, though, be-
fore many of them, like their predeces-
sors, will for obvious reasons wish they
had never seen the respective state
houses. OF course they will all re-
member some pleasant features con.
nected with the service of their con-
stituents, such as free entertain ment,
passes, ETC.; but between the ''pull'' of
the office seeker, the fine and coarse
work of the lobby member and the
thousand and one vexations, many
will get enough of the "good thing"
But the citizens who spend this same
season their time and money travelling,
and who use the Wisconsin Central
lines between St. Paul or Minneapolis
and Chicago or Milwaukee will be sub
ject to no such annoyances. They will
get the best service on earth and a
square meal at reasonable cost. For
particulars address Geo. S. Batty,

THE MISSING CADET.

THE MISSING CADET.
He is Said to be With the Insurgent
Army of Cuba.
Russell Montgomery, son of MIR. j.
B. Montgomery of Portland, who has
been mourned as dead almost a year,
is reported to have been seen very
lately in Cuba, as q lieutenant in the
insurgent army. He was a naval Cadet
at Annapolis academy. and failing in
his examination the presumption was
that he committed suicide.
When the news of his disappearance
reached his home both Mr.. aud Mrs.
Montgomery were prostrated. The
best detectives that could be found
we're at once put upon the case, and
for ten months there has been no ces-
sation of effort among the searchers.
This Information is conveyed in &
letter from Virginia, written by an in
surgent officer who went home for
treatment of wounds he received in
battle. This letter is of very recent
date, and the writer claims to know
Montgomery very well. He says when
he last saw him he was in excellent
health and spirits. There is no reason
to doubt the report as it is remembered
that the cadet was ever enthusiastic
in the cause of Cuba libre. That he
should have made his way to the island
and joined the insurgents is regarded
as highly probable.

LawIessncss at Mosier

Last Sunday night L. J. Davenport
and family. of Mosier, were absent
from home attending some exercises at
the school house, and while they were
away some villainous rascals cut the
wire on a line of fence for distance
of nearly 500 yards, also broke down
the posts of the fence. Monday morn
ing Mr.. Davenport found three Of his
cows had been poisoned, but was able
to save the lives of two. He SO far has
been unable to FIX the guilt of these
inisdeeds upon anyone, but believes he
knows who the guilty party is. Should
he be caught. the severest punishment
should be meted out to him, for such
lamlessness as this can have no excuse.
The penitentiary would be a paradise
for wretch guilty of such conduct.

TO ERING IN ABSENCES.
The Davis House WIZ Cause the Arrest
of Absent Members


4 Salem dispatch dated March !,
says: The temporary house today de-
cided to adop5 drastic measures to
bring in absentees. Members of the
original house present were sworn in
by Chief Justice Moore, and Il number
of assistant sergeants-at-arms were ap.
pointed by temporary Speaker Davis
and dispatched to different parts OF
the state with warrants to serve on
absent members.
There is little doubt, however, that
the court will be appealed to By mem
bers of the late Benson house who
have been served with warraEt Is.
Word was received here tonight thet
four represen atives, Hope. Conn,
Gurdane, and Jennings, had becu
arrested in Portland, and that they
would at once try to throw the matter
into the courts on habeas corpus pro
ceediugs. 1t is said also that Repre-
sentative Smith, of Marion, is rry pared
to resist, and, when he is arrested to-
morrow, will endeavor to secure his
release on habeas corpus, and besides,
will have the legality OF the whole rro
ceeding and its collateral issu-s :>sted.
The outlook, therefore, is that the
entire matter of legislation must be
held in allegiance until the courts de-
terlnine whether it is or is not their
business to Interfere in the Legislative
muddle. The expectation is that, If q
test case be brought here, it would be
heard Immediately in the circuit court,
and al appeal taken TO the suprem7
court. There is 70 doubt Chief Justice
Moore would cause it to be advanced
on the docket. If all expedition be
used 10y both sides to the controversy,
u final decision may be reached within
two or three weeks. If either side
fight for delay, a settlement may be
deferred indefinitely.

THE CARDINALS CLOSE CALL.
His Keen Sense of smell Once Saved Hi
from Being Poisoned.

His Keen Sense of smell Once Saved Him
from Being Poisoned.
Years have rolled by since, but the
story of an almost fatal accident to
Cardinal Gibbons has lost none of it's
interest through not having been pre-
viously told, says the Philadelphia
Call. Just before he rose to give the
impassioned reading of his poem,
''King Lear" at the anniversary din
ner OF the Sons of ST. George, Prof. II,
II. Hay, of Girard college, told of the
happening as it had been related to
him while he was travelling in Europe
by a priest acquainted with the cir
cumstanceS.
''While the cardinal, who was then
an archbishop" said Prof. Hay, twas
travelling across the Atlantic some
years ago he complained one afternoon
that he wasn't feeling very well, but
was told by the ships surgeon to await
medical treatment until the following
day, when something would be done
for him if his sickness continued. On
the day following the steward of the
steamer was duly sent with remedy
for the eminent prelate. AS he was
about to place the glass containing
the draught to his lips the archbishop
was almost overcome by strange and
pungent odor. He hesitated moment
and lowered the vessel containing the
liquid until he. recovered from the eff
feet of the smell. Glancing incidental
ly at the bottle in the stewards hand
he noticed the word poison on label,
and, not without little alarm, asked
the man if he knew what he was offer
ing. The steward replied that he had
done as was directed by the doctor.
Alarmed, the archbishop sent post
haste to the medical man to make
sure of what was being rendered him.
This time it was the surgeon who had
occasion to manifest surprise. He hur-
ried to his distinguished patients side
and informed the archbishop that the
glass offered him contained enough
deadly poison to kill any two men"

INDIANS TEMPERANCE COHvENTION.
Pow Wow on The Reservation Was
Held Friday.

Something new has happened on the
Umatilla Indian reservation. disaprov-
ing the oft repeated assertion that
there's nothing new under the sun.
1t is nothing more or less tnan tenn
perance convention, held for Indians
by Indians and with none present but
Indians.
The convention tpow vow was held
Friday, so Jack Chapman, the well
knowa interpreter, today informed the
East Oregsnian. The object of the
pow WOW was to give the young men of
the three tribes some advice on the
subject of drinking liquor, which
habit has been fast sending the In
dians to destruction. Chapman re-
marked as he was telling about the
meeting:
"We are getting into the ways of
the white man, ali right, for yesterday
we had a sure enough temperance
meeting on the reservation. Several
of us made speeches. There were
Chief Peo, OF the Umatillas; Young
Chief of the Cayuses; No Shirt, OF the
Walla Wallas; Judge Cash Cash, who
used to be the head of the court of In
dian offences before the court was done
away with, and L made a speech my
self. We told the young men how it
was raining the men of the tribes to
drink SO much whiskey, and warned
them that if they kept up their presen.
pace it would be only few years b.
fore our race would be extinct, except
as they might be left Indian blood in
the mixed bloods about these parts.
We gave it TO them pretty straight on
the subject. The young men listened
with good attention and many of them
will take the advice.
''Do you know we have u temperance
society on the reserve, one organized
just as those of the whites are organ
ized, and l am one of the officers. We
are going to do all we can to stop the
drink habit among our people. and are
going to have some more temperance
meetings after awhile"

Dalles school district No. II, held last
Saturday, it was voted to bond the dis
trict for $50, 900 for the purpose taking
up the present floating debt of about
$1,000 and TO erect and furnish an eight
room school building in Academy
Park. 1t was by no means full vote,
only l42 ballots being cast, of which 10
were for bonding the district and 81
against. 1t is expected by the direct
ors that the bonds can be foated at
premium that will realize in the neigh
borhcod of So, 600, which will be ample
to erect the new building and liquidat-
ing the floating debt CT the district.

Wasbinr for ,;oId yyithout water

A tourist returned from Mexico re-
ports having seen two -Mexicans dry
washing for gold, says an exchange.
They were at work in dry gulcb,
without sign of water in sight, and
had brought the auriferous sand in
baskets to the mouth of the ravine,
where the wind blew strongly down
the valley. Their washing apparatus
consisted of heavy army blanket, in
the center of which they placed about
a peck of the sand; then, each Mexican
taking hold OF the blanket by the cor
ners, they tossed the sand high aloft
again and again. The wind blew away
the fine sand, while the heavier parti-
cles with the gold fell straight back
into the blanket. When at last they
paused there remained in the blanket
a double handful of gravel and heavy
sand, in which glittered few yellow
specks of gold. The men cleaned up
three and four dollars day.

1893, 907: 1854, 1858; 1895, 1912: 1895,
1882, which shows u substantial and
steady growth in the population of the
district Since the district will draw
about S5 per each person Of schoolage
from the state school fund the receipts
this wear from that source will be scme-
thing over $65G0.
That the financial affairs of the dis
trict have been we'll managed the past
five years is evidenced by a comparison
of the standing of the district in 1898
with its present condition. taking into
consideration that during this time
the Academy Park building has been
bought and refitted, also that a lot has
been boughtin Tackman's addition, ,and
a school building has been moved to
that property, besides the district has
established it's own water orks, and
all the buildings, except the one in
Tackman's addition, are supplied with
water, without cost of rent. In 1898,
the liabilities of the district, less re-
sources, were S1,61S95. Now, after
the district has acquired title to the
property above mentioned, they are
only S265.3l.
