AN AWFUL TRAGEDY.
The Militia Killed Two Men and Wounded
Six While Defending n Prisoner


URBANA, O., June 4.-Never was
there such tragedy in this city as
that enacted at 2:30 this morning.
Two men lay dead and six seriously
wounded, with one more that may die.
The trouble that lead up to this trag-
edy was an attempt to lynch Click
Mitchell who recently criminally as
saulted Mrs. Eliza Gaumer, widow of
the late publisher of the Urbana Dem
ocrat. Mitchell had plead guilty and
had been sentenced to 20 years i'm
prisonment, but the people of Urbana
| demanded his life as a sacrific for his
crime, and company of militia had
been called out to guard him.
When the clash between the militia
and the citizens occurred an attempt
was being made by mob to enter the
jail from the rear. The militia were
in the hall on the second floor, and
standing at the windows. Higgins, of
West Liberty, and another man had
sledge hammers in their hands and
had broken the glass in the door lead
ing to the hall from which the Jail is
entered. Suddenly the militia opened
fire without warning, and Higgins fell
back with the exclamation: my God,
| am shot!" Then followed the scene
Of death and destruction that brought
others down. The panic stricken peo-
pie exclaimed; mo one is safe here
but Mitchell"
After the firing of the militia on the
crowd during the early hours, Gov.
Bushnell ordered a company from
Springfield to help preserve order, and
on their arrival they were booted at
by the citizens, and were informed
by the mayor that they were not need
ed in the city. The local militia COM
pany had refused to take further part
in the disturbance, and while the com-
pany from Springfield was marching
to the depot, an excited crowd burst
into the Jail. took Mitchell out and
hanged him to tree in the court yard.
The lyn ching took place at about 1880
this morning. The men taking part
in it made no atte mpt to disguise them
selves. 1t is not known who did the
work and the person who attempts to
find out will get himself into serious
trouble.
Not only acute lung troubles, which
may prove fatal in few days, but old |
chronic coughs and throat troubles may
receive immediate relief and be perma- |
nently cured by One Minute Cough Cure.

Wounded in the Mountains, He Dies
While Being Taken Home.

Wounded in the Mountains, He Dies
While Being Taken Home.
jeff Corley, 17-year-old son of Bert
Corley, of Mountain View, this county,
accidentally shot himself at his sheep
camp in the mountains and was buried
Saturday in Mount View. News of the
unfortunate affair reached Pendleton
Saturday evening and full particulars
came today, being brought by John w.
Ray, who is serving on the circuit
court grand jury in this city.
jeff Corley was herding sheep in the
noun tains % miles beyond Ukiah, in
the John Day region. In the evening.
the sheep having been put in the cor
raj, Charley went to creek near the
cabin with pail to get some water.
He had his pistol, which sheepherders
always carry, slung from belt which
was about his shoulders. The pistol
was in holster too small to hold it
securely, and, as Charley stopped to
the creek, the weapon fell and struck
OHO ouS0 VI Iuc pdll. 1G was us
charged as it fell. The bullet entered
Charley's body above the heart, rang
ing upward, and was seen almost to
have come out at the shoulder blade.
The camp tender was there at the time
and came to young Corley's assistance.
Corley asked the camp tender to cut
out the bullet. The tender said he
would after awhile, and to Corley's
anxious inquiry answered that he
thought the wound would not prove
fatal. The tender worked two hours
over the young man and then went to
Ukiah, % miles away, to summon DR..
Alexander, who arrived Thursday
evening, the shooting having occurred
Wednesday evening at 10 o'clock.
Corley was on Thursday carried seven
miles to a wagon road and then started
toward Ukiah, dying on the way, at
about 10 o'clock in the morning,

About Postofice Appointments.

The rule announced shortly after the
administration assumed power that
postmasters would be allowed to serve
out their full terms unless removed for
cause has been modified, and it is ex-
pected that wholesale appointments to
Dostofices will be made soon, says a
Washington dispatch.
The reason assigned for the modifi-
cation of the announced policy of the
administration, is that it is the desire
of the postoffice department to fill as
many offices as possible before the ex-
piration of the fiscal year July u, in
o'der that appointments may begin
with the new quarter.

HIS LOT AN EASY ONE.
But the Pestered Butler Couldn't See It
That Way.


That Way.
A butler who had been 25 years in
the same family went one morning to
his master and said that he wanted to
leave, says the Weekly Telegram. The
master, much astonished, asked what
his reason was.
"Do you want your wages raised,
John?"
mo, sir"
"Is it the food that you're complain
ing OFF"
mo, sir"
"Well, what is it, then?"
ard rather not say, sir"
''Now, John," said his master, losing
his patience, you've been long time
in my employ, and insist upon your
telling me-"
swell, sir" said the butler, finally, "if
you must know, it's all along of the
missus. It's nag, nag, nag from morn
ing to night, and 1 can't stand it any
longer"
His master sighed and then said, SOL
emnly: John, go upstairs to your bed
room, lock the door and then go down
upon your bended knees and thank
Heaven that you're not married to
her!"

LONG CREEK, June 5.-The present
Indications is that this summer there
will be the largest sale of cattle that
has been known in Grant county for
years. A prominent cattle-buyer says
that the sales of Northern Grant
county, in the vicinity of Long Creek,
will undoubtedly reach 100000.
Sheep-bnyers have been over the
county within the last two weeks, and
will drive out large number of sheep,
the major portion of which will be
taken over the trail to be delivered to
Eastern markets.
Sheep in this section have all been
shorn. and the growers are now de
livering their clips by freight teams,
at Heppner and The Dalles warehouses.

Must Be Protected.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The senate
met at II A. NJ. Two speeches were
announced for today. one by Mantle on
the wool schedule OF the tariff bill, and
| another by Butler on his resolution to
amend the constitution so as to give
congress power to impose income
taxes.
Mantle was recognized and addressed
the senate for two hours. He said that
there had been no opportunity for pre-
senting the woolgrowers' side of the
contention to the other branch of con-
gress, for the reason that owing to the
brief time allowed for debate, the wool
schedule had never been reached in
that body.
He presented fully and supported
with numerous tables and statistics the
woolgrowers' side of the controversy,
and showed the enormous losses sus-
tanned by the woolgrowers by the de-
probation OF the value of sheep and
wool during the past six years. He
declared that by reason of the erorn-
Gus importations in anticipation of the
enactment of tariff law. the wool
grower would not receive much benefit
from protective tariff for four years
to come.
He asserted that whenever a tariff
law is to be enacted, the powerful man.
ufacturing interests of the country are
always on the grounds pushing their
interests, while farmers and wool
growers are an isolated and scattered
class from the nature of their vocation,
am are thus lacking in effective Or
ganization, hence had not received
their just share of protection.
A great majority of the woolgrowers
of the country are prOtectjonists and
publicans; most of them are believers
in the free coinage of gold and silver;
bat the question of protection and free
coinage having been divided in the
last campaign, the woolgrowers accept
ing pledges contained in the republican
national platform in favor of "ample
protection for WOOL" and believing
protection to be the paramount issue,
cast their votes in the doubtful states
for Mckinley and elected him.
The tariff bill as it passed the house
and as now amended by the senate
utterly fails to meet the expectations
of the woolgrowers, and is regarded by
them largely as repudiatiou of the
pledge. The woolgrowers
of the country, he continued, were in
dignant over this treatment, and he |
warned the republicans they must |
change the proposed rates or they |
would lose the support of this numer-
Gus element in the ensuing campaigns. |
He asserted that the Mckinley law |
had not afforded necessary protection
to woolgrowers, and quoted statistics
to prove his assertion.

SUGAR SCHEDULE NEXT.
Tariff Debaters Get Through the Wood

Tariff Debaters Get Through the Wood
Sections and Are Ready for Sugar.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-When the
senate laid aside the tariff bill tonight,
it had reached the sugar schedule,
which has been the subject of so much
interest aud conflict.
During the day, many of the para
graphs of the wood schedule had been
agreed to, but that restoring white
pine lumber to the dutiabie list at 50
per 1000 provided the greatest stumbl-
ing block encountered since the debate
begun. 1t led to an extended debate
during which a wide divergence of
views was developed on the democratic
side of the chamber.
Bacon gave his support to the COM
mittee rates saying it was essettial to
the lumber industry of the South.
He also spoke in favor of the revenue
tariff so adjusted as to give equal
benefits to all industries. Bacon and
Vest cIashed several times on tariff
docterines. Vest expressing his regret
that democratic chairman would aid
in restoring to the dutiable list one of
the three Products-lum ber, salt and
wool-which the Wilson bill put on the
free list.
Clay also spoke at length on the the
tariff bill, criticising the sugar schedule
a ud other features of the bill.

Spain holds the rural population OF
Cuba as prisoners of war in the prison
camps. Unlike any other nation which
claims to be civilized she does not feed
her prisoners of war.
There is no means of learning the
exact number of concentrates. An
American consul who has made a care
full study says it's more than $4,000.
The best opinion places the number
between 100000 and 100000. In not

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 5.-The
legislature adjourned sine die at 4
O'Clock this morning. The last hour
was rough-and-tumble farce. Paper
balls, pasteboard boxes, books and
even market baskets were used at a
game of pitch and toss. A couple of
facetious members broke up the tops
of their desks and with the pieces
pounded the remnants.
Votes on many bills were recorded
and nobody but the clerks knew how
they were recorded. Bills were passed
and nobody but the speaker and clerk
knew the bills by number or title. In
the senate personal encounters were
narrowly avoided.
The congressional appropriation bill
introduced by the so called machine"
over which a bitter fight had been
waged, was abandoned in the final
hour.

THE MINERS AT WORK.
Prospect for Continued Production
Coed, Says the Inspector.

Robert Fisher. state coal mine inspector,
returned yesterday from a visit in tho min
ing districts of Warrick, Vanderburg.
Spencer and Perry counties. He says that
the mines are all working. and that the
prospect is good for continued production,
as the rivers remain navigable and the do
nestle demand first class. There is little
sign of labor troubles at present, although
the Pittsburg agreement expires Jan. l. An
arrangement is being patched up whereby
a satisfactory scale will be agreed upon for
the month of January.
\ A new interstate scale was to have been
made Jan. l for one year, but the miners,
who hold their convention on Jan. II, have
secured a postponment of the matter until
they have elected new officials for their
organization. In order to prevent possible
complications preliminary conference was
held yesterday at Columbus, O., between the
of the States of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and
Pennsylvania, to agree upon a scale to be
in force until Jan. g. when a conference
will be held to formulate a new interstate
agreement, to be good for one year w.

The conference to be held Jan. 2S will be a

been formulated since 1889. The miners are
expecting to secure an advance of 10 cents
over present prices at this conference.
