age he moved with his parents to
Illinois. In 1852 he was married to
Miss Susie Kellogg, who survives

1858 they!moved tn Minnesota, where
for several years :he drove stage be-
tween Hasting and Faribault for
Fink & Walker. In 1868 he enlisted
in 20. I, Second Minnesota regiment,
but was detailed for cOmmissary
duty at Fort Smelling until F ebruary

PREPARED TO APPEAL.
Council lnstructS Attorney
Adams to Give Notice of APP
peal in Light Case.

4, The city council held an executive
session on Saturday evening to- con-
slider the litigation with the Electric
& Water company. The doors were
closed and the members and officers
Of the council and Special Counsel
Calhoun were present. Probably the
matter was thoroughly considered,
and the final result was that the
city attorney was instructed to
serve notice of appeal In the light
case. The only point in this case
from which the city can appeal Ia
the decision that the city shall pay
the city taxes on the water works
plant in exchange for water for the
city hall and in part payment for the
twelve hydrants.
Just why the city can sec an ad-
vantage in doing away with that
fea ture of the contract is not appar-
ent. It is stated that the citizens
will ut ones appeal their water
works case.
The company is not anxious to
continue any litigation with the
city, but may he compelled to do 80.
Az far as the citizens suit IL con-
cerned, the company will welcome
and continue the fight In the same
noble spirit in which it was
started and still continues. 1t was
plainly an effort to punish the
Electric & Water company and Its
officers, and some of those most
anxious to have the company
defeated did not have a penny's
interest in the amount of expendi-
lures by the city. AS nearly oil
other water companies in Northern
Minnesota had become bankrupt, 1t
was figured a comparatively easy
task TO bankrupt the Little Falls
concern-and that would have been
a source of great Joy to the pro-
motors of the citizens suit. The
company must fight them to protect
itself, and with them there is no pos
sible compromise. The city's
interests are not what these citizens
are working for. They desire to
cripple and damage the Electric &
Water company, and 80 far are
welcome to the advantage they have
attained for the money they have
Invested.

why We Lose Trade.

Some persons wonder why it is that
the wheat of Klickitat county goes to
Rufus and Biggs instead of coming to
The Dalles, and why it is that the
merchants of The Dalles are not re-
ceiving the trade of.the farmers on the
north side of The river which they at
one time had. The explanation is
simple, and is only question CT the
difference in the price offerriage here
and at points further up the river.
Here the ferriage on four-horse team
coming over loaded is $l.25 and IS
cents is charged for returning empty,
while at Rufus or Biggs it is IS cents
for coming across loaded and so cents
for returning, making difference in
favor of Biggs and Rufus of Is cents
on the round trip. With ferriage the
same here as it is at points up the
river, the bulk of the wheat of Klicki-
tat county would come here, a2d the
wheat haulers would make the majority
of their purchases of supplies with
Dalles merchants, but they will not
come here and pay more for getting
across the rive" with their wheat so
long as the price of wheat is the same
at Biggs and Rufus as it is here. 1t
would not be bad investment for
Dalles merchants to subsidize the ferry
during the wheat season and make up
the difference between ferriage here
and at upriver points.

Cattle Killed by Lightning.

On Monday evening eight head of
cattle belonging to W.. J. Edwards
were killed by lightning in his pasture
about one mile from the town of May
vile, and eight miles from Fossil.
Seven head of the cattle, four COWS
and three calves. were found lying
dead together, one in front of the
other, alongside the barb wire fence
that encloses the field. They had
evidently been walking in single file
as close to the fence as they coult get
when the thunderbolt struck them.
Half Il mile distant, one calf was found
dead alone, also close to the fence.
There were no outward marks on the
cattle to Indicate the cause of death,
but for nearly mile the fence showed
the lightning's course, the wire being
twisted and many of the posts being
shattered and pulled out of the ground.

Mr.. Horn thought the officers were

Lauer, still thinking he was an offend

DALLESIrES IN ALAsKA
John Parrott Writes From Skaguay Co
cernIng the Trip to Klondike.

John Parrott Writes From skaguay Con-
cerning the Trip to klOndike.
Under date of August q, John
Parrott, who went up on the first trip
of the Elder, writes from Skaguay that
there is an awful blockade at that
place, miners being unable to get
transportation for their supplies across
the pass to the head of navigation on
Yukon. The first trouble encountered
by the miners. he says, was lack of
horses to carry their provisions over,
but that has been obviated, there be-
ing more horses than can travel over
the trails, and this has caused block
ade, the trail being so narrow that
pack trains going in and coming out
lose much time passing each other
when they meet. Often horses are
crowded off the trail over bluffs, and
are hurled down the mountain with
their loads TO places where it is impos-
sible to rescue them.
"Three weeks ago." Mr.. Parrott says,
''Skaguay was little city of about 300
tents, but now has over 100 houses and
a population of several thousand.
Nineteen ships have landed here since
the 7th Of August, and have dis
charged their cargoes and passengers
in the city.
''Provisions are very cheap in Skag-
uay, flour being rs cents a sack, bread
% cents a loaf, beef % cents a pound.
bacon cents and dried fruit from to
8 cents.
There are a great many miners
here who are stranded, who cannot get
across the pass to Dawson City, and
they are compelled TO sell their outfits
for what they can get. 1t is evident
that not one in fifty who are here will
be able to reach Klondike this season. -"
MIR. Parrott says he and DR.. Sidall
expected to leave Skaguay on August
Both, and to reach lake Linderman by
September 5th. There they were to
and float down the lakes and rivers to
Dawson City. They had joined a party
of twelve to cross the pass and go down
the rivers. Among their party ere
several ladies, and all were confident
they would reach Dawson before severe
weather sets in.
