of the lav

The remains of Henry A. Baker, who
was killed by falling from a crib of the
pile-driver in the Mill creek basin yes
terday afternoon, will be sent to his old
home in New Jersey tonight.
l Mr.. Baker was So years, months and
10 days old, and came to this place from
Denver, Colo, about three years ago.
He was leading member of the Ma
sonic order, and organized the chapter
Ibf the Eastern Star in this city. He
was member of the engineer depart
ment of the o. R. & N, and was looked
TO as an honest, straightforward man by
all who knew him.
He leaves three daughters and one
son to mourn his loss, they being Mrs.
Cora D. Miller and Mrs. Jennie A. Bar
rett of Portland; Mrs. Lillian W. Tip
pie, whose address we did not learn,
and Fred A. Baker of Newark, New Jer-
sey.
The following is the verdict of the cor
oner's jury;
THE DALLEs, Dec. 4, 1897.
We, the jury impaneled by w. H.
Butts, coroner of Wasco county, Or, to
| inquire into the cause of the death of a
person whose body is now before US, find
as follows:
That the name of the deceased was n.
! A. Baker, of the age of about 65 years,
and at the time of his death he was pile
i inspector and had charge of pile inspec-
ton for the y. R. & N. Co. on its pillng
! being placed for bridge over Mill
creek IN Dalles City, Oregon.
That just moment prior to his death
he was stand .ng on a cribbing construct:
ed of two ties, about $50 feet north Of
the main line of said company, and fell
IItherefrom. the cause of such fall being
lat this time unknown; and from the
levidence we are not able to find any
eause for such fall except unavoidable
accident. and we therefore conclude thai
the cause of the death of said deceased
| was an unavoidable accident, and that
no one is at fault or responsible for said
death. F. @. SEXTON,

ECONOMY.

Wastefulness may not be great sin;
but 1t is one OF those offenses that in the
aggregate are the cause Of one-llalf Of the
poverty, suffering and crime which af1lict
mankind. All effects are produced by
causes, and extravaganza leads eventually
to every sin in the catalogue, either di-
rectly or indirectly. The man with mod
crate salary finds it ample for time to
meet all of his expenses; but extrava.
gance creeps into the management of his
family affairs or his Individual habits,
and he soon finds himself behind, with no
hope of getting out Of debt and every
chance of going deeper in that direction.
Finally, In despair at ever retrieving him
self, he. drops into drink ami by evasion
and subterfuge seeks to avoid the collapse
that is sure to come.
If people would only remember that
"value received" is memorable maxim
in all human affairs, morally as we'll as
financially, they would be less apt to
walk into the pitfall that daily gathers in
its victims, ard which numbers among
them some of the brightest and most

AN AMBASSADOR WANTED.

1t has transpired that President Nc
Kinley was extremely DESTROYS that Gen.
John w. Foster, of Indiana, should rep
resent this country in diplomatic ca
pacity at Madrid, and that he rendered
him the Office of minister, and that Mr..
Foster declined 1t on the ground that his
physical condition did not justify his un-
dertaking the responsibilities of the office
under existing conditions. There was
special fitness in the selection. Gen. Foster
is an accomplished diplomat, and is par
ticularly we'll informed on Spanish
affairs. He visited that country during
the administration of President Harri-
son, and successfully NEGOTIATED reci-
procity agreement between the two coun-
trie. AS is we'll known, he is now on
special mission to England and Russia,
looking to the conclusion of an interna-
tional agreement for the preservation of
the seal herds. Although not exactly q
sick man, his active life and arduous du-
ties for many years past have SO affected
his constitution that it is necessary that
he should husband his strength. The
President WAS disappointed at his decis-
ion, but felt the force of his reasoning,
and is now looking elsewhere for a good
man for the place. An appointment as
minister to Spain will be made shortly.
1t has been decided to raise the ministry
to the grade of an embassy, provided
Spain will first take THE initiative with
it's diplomatic representative at this cnp-
itRl

are Just as sure to wreak summary ven
geance upon the perpetrators as the people
Of the South, and as this has been proven
time and again to be the case, the least
said by them in condemnation of the
white people Of this section the better.
The Urbana horror was in many respects
like the one in Roanoke. A small squad
of soldiers in their efforts to protect the
prisoner, fired on the crowd, killing three
persons and seriously wounding several
others. Troops were sent by the governor
of Ohio to assist the sheriff, but they took
the advice of the mayor and went back
to the depot, the company that did the
shooting having in the meantime refused
to serve any longer. The crowd then find
ing that no resistance was offered, made
rush for the jail, and securing Mitchell
swung him up to the nearest tree.

FIRM AGAINST WEYLER.
Liberals Will Insist on His Imme-
diate Recall.

Madrid, June 5.-Senor Sagasta, the
liberal leader, after comforting with the
queen regent at the palace to day, said he
had told her majesty chat the liberals
were prepared to deal with all pending
questions.
Public opinion continues to favor Sa.
gasta cabinet.
Everyone is convinced that the main
question at issue in the present crisis is
the selection of q new governor of Cuba,
capable of convincing the people that
Spain is in earnest in the matter of colo
NAL reforms.
'thc crisis is likely to be prolonged; but
there is significant change of tone WISH
BILE in the conservative papers, which are
beginning to hint that the future fate of
the conservative party is not altogether
dependent Upon Capt. Gen. Weyler. The
impression gains ground that rather than
see the liberals in office the conservatives
would consent to recall Weyler; and it is
believed that Marshal Martinez Campos
is willing to replace him.
1t is understood that Senior Sagasta in.
formed the queen regent that if the lib
erals come into office through the refusal
to countenance foreign dictation, the re-
call of Weyler will he among the first
steps taken.
The queen regent is expected to consult

morrow on the military aspects of the
situation in Cuba, and there is a great
anxiety to learn the result of the long
conference between her majesty and
Marshal Campos.

offered to resign the supreme command
in Cuba is semi-officially denied

VIRGINIA COLLEGE, annual.

.
A copy of the Virginia College annual
has been received and unlike many sim

read with pleasure but with profit as we'll.
The annual contains about eighty pages
and from n typographical standpoint
could not be excelled and in the selection
of the matter therein published q decitled
improvement is marked over that which
generally fills those ANIMALS.
The illustrations are neat and we'll Sc

been selected out of the large class toll

ment is found some real gems OF thought
and speech, some Of it untamed and un-
accustomed to the harness OF words. but
struggling for recognition. 'sldealism

one of the first articles with which the
reader is impressed and in which she very
philosophically points to the study Of
poetry as that of all things when we NAV
find the expression Of ,idealism Then
follows some sketches, one by Miss lola
V. NewmanY OF Louisiana, and another
descriptive OF Georgia 'possum hunt by
Miss Clementine d. Warren, of Georgia.
In both of these is found some merit, the
first a beautiful thought fairly well ex-.
pressed and the second perhaps as good a
description or a 'p0SSum uunt as 1t Is
possible to be given from woman's
standpoint, but so much lacking in real

rest and peace, but perfect rest cannot

GOLD DEMOCRATS ELIGIBLE.

Primaries T. -

i IRA
Richmond, Va, June 5.-The Demo
cratic city committee to night adopted
the plan for the primary of June "a, in
which delegates to the Roanoke conven-
ton are to be elected. There was lively
fight over the question of who shall be
allowed to vote In the. primary. An
effort was made to confine it to those who
supported the Chicago ticket, but this
was lost, and any white Democrat who
pledges himself to vote for the Roanoke
nominee will be permitted to participate.
This opens the way for the gold Dem.
ocrats who would not support Bryan to
return to the fold and great pressure is
being brought to beac upon them t. get
them into the primary. The plan is very
similar to that of four years ago, when
many Republicans voteh for O'Ferrall
delegates.
