To the Editor of the Evening Journal
Sir: There is a short article in yes

Of the delegates from the Delaware

posed foolish words were from the re-
marks Of eX-President Edward Magill
Of Swarthmore College, on the condi-
ton Of Wilmington last Tuesday when
a gunbOat was presented with a large
punch bowl and a 5000 Bible. He said.
1T seemed like a combination Of the
liquor traffic and the principles Of
war." and that the great warrior. Cen
eral Grant, had said earnestly, LET us
have peace" Now these words Of ex-
President Magill don't seem al al foo
ish to many citizens Of Wilmington.

Mrs. Bolton Dead.

Mrs. Elizabeth Bolton was found dead
in her bed this morning. About three
weeks ago while camping at the Mead
ows, che was stricken with paralysis,
and while she appeared to be rapidly
recovering from this, it was realized
that second stroke might carry her off
at any moment. This is probably what
happened during the night and death
was perhaps instantaneous, as she
seemed very cheerful at bedtime, insist
ing that no one sleep in the room.
Mrs. Bolton, who was aged 81, came
to Oregon in 1S49, and has resided near
The Dalles nearly ever since that time.
She was a devoted Christian woman,
having been an active member of the
Methodist church for years, and finding
her greatest enjoyment in attending its
services and in the society of Christian
people. Of lively, cheerful disposition,
she was loved by her young friends, as
well as those of her own age. Her hus-
band, Daniel Bolton, died some eight or
nine years ago.
She leayes four children living, Mrs.
Ella Mcfarland of Seattle, Zenas of
North Yakima, Simeon of this city, and
Wilbur of Antelope.

A Runaway.

Fred. w. Wilson had an experience
yesterday with livery horse that was
neither pleasant nor profitable. He
had hired the animal with buggy at
tached, of Ward & Robertson, for the
purpose of driving out to the head of
15-Mile creek. and when out about four
miles, while going up hill, Mr.. Wilson
got out to stretch his limbs and also rest
the horse. He walked beside the ami
hal, holding the lines in bis hands, and
incidentally put ont one hand and
touched the horse. The animal was
evidently not accustomed to petting and
at once made a lunge, jerked the lines
from Fritz hands and ran away. The
buggy was utterly demoralized, and the
horse finally stopped running, being
persuaded thereIo by the k;ndlyassist=
ance of barbed wire fence. lThe horse
was unhurt, but $40 worth OF buggy has
vanished. The visit to 15-Mile did not
materialize, and the reason Fritz did
not walk home was because farmer
gave him ride.

Hon. E. L. Smith and several others
from Hood River left last week for a trip
to the Cispus river, in Washington. A
man named Stump is reported to have
found some very rich float quartz on
that stream about twenty miles above
the mouth of Mccoy creek. There
seems to be quite we'll defined mineral
belt running across the Cascades, north
of st. Helens and Adams. AS indicated

Senator Mcbride and ex-senator
Mitchell arrived in Portland from Wash
ington Saturday night. Senator Nc
Bride is in good health. To an Orego-
nian reporter he stated that IN accord
ance with custom, Congressman Ellis
and Tongue would meet with him in the
near future and, if possible, agree upon
the recommendations for federal ap-
points in the state. This is a bit of
news that will be very gratifying to
about one-fourth of Oregon's male popu-
lation. In the interest of the farmers
these recommendations should be made
so the unsuccessful could go to work.
Col. Pat Donan, the versatile writer,
editor of the Utahnian, promoter of all
kinds of enterprises, and all-around
genius, is in the city. The Colonel is
known from Maine to California and
from the lakes to the gulf. Newspaper
men recognize Pat Donan in the first
ten lines of one of his articles, and use
the scissors without hesitancy, knowing
th 1t whatever it is they are swipiEg, it
is good. Donan is the genuine advance
agent of prosperity, for Fortune follows
in his wake. As violets indicate spring,
or ripening harvests summer, SO does
the presence of this literary bird of pas
sage foretell a business boom. May he
come often and stay long.

]. E. Lathrop, who left Oregon for
Klondike few weeks ago, writes from
Dyea under date of August 18th as fol-
4pws: "I just came from Chief Indian
Jphnson's tent where we made a con-
tfact to have our freight carted over from
here, twenty-three miles to Lake Linde-
man, at % cents per pound, and if he
keeps his contract, I am to give him my
gold watch for keeping it. That's the
agreement. Chief johnson evidently
wants that gold watch pretty badly. It
was lesson in avarice, cupidity and
