Driven to Suicide by Grief.

A father lying at the morgue, dead
by his own hand; an erring daughter
missing, and presumably with evil as
sociates: a widowed mother, with five
small children clustered about and an
other life soon to be brought into the
world. Such is the calumniation of
the story of girlish waywardness and
parental dread of disgrace, through ex.
posure, that has sent Albert Kahlin,
of 6lS East Twenty-fourth street, to fill
suicides grave, says the Portland
Telegram.
The circumstances that led up to
this tragedy are sad. Albert Kahlin
had for years been a hard working
blacksmith in Wolff & ,Zwicker's
ship yards. He raised family of five
children, the oldest of whom was He'd
wig. girl of IA years. Recently she
with her two brothers went to Mt.
Angel to pick hops. There the girl
fell in with evil associates and was
ruined. Being chided by her parents
she left home, and the heartbroken
father, crazed by the downfall of his
daughter, sent a ball from Winches-
ter rifle through his brain Friday
morning as 4:30.

A Despfcable Act.

For several months S. L. Brooks has
had an instrument for measuring the
velocity of the wind stationed on the
D. z. & A. N. dock, and from it
secured data concerning the wind here
for records which he furnishes the
government. Last Saturday night
some malicious individual or indivld-
uals broke the instrument, bending
the arms which carry the fans, totally
running IL. Why anybody should thus
desire to destroy property is mystery.
The instrument was of no annoyance
or Inconvenience to any one, but was
a benefit to the city and to the weather
bureau in keeping records that are
beneficial. If the party or parties who
did this dastardly act can be appre-
neuded, nothing short of long term
in the peniteutiary should suffice as 3
punishment for the crime.

Byers' FIGURING Mills at PendietOn De-
stroYed by Fire.


The large roller mills at Pendleton.
with capacity of 500 barrels daily,
owned by w. s. Byers, were destroyed
by fire Monday morning, together
with nearly 10000 bushels of wheat
and 1000 barrels of flour. The fire
was first discovered about $3.50 by James
Gray the night watchman of the mills,
who was the only person awake about
the premises. 1t originated in small
smut room, and is supposed to have
been caused by spontaneous COM
bustion.
The fire spread very rapidly, and
was seen by the night engineer in the
wooden and securing mill near, who
whistled an alarm. The fire depart
ment soon responded, but by this time
the large building was mass OF flames
and nothing could be done except to
save adjoining property.
At one time the $4,000 courthouse
on the block opposite was smoking,
but the mill walls fell in and the fire.
men were able to save the courthouse.
The firemen had great difficulty from
bursting hose, and were handicapped
by large crowd and the excitement
of the people.
The contents of stone warehouse
near the mill were greatly damaged
and nearly ruined. The corrugated.
iron warehouse was totally destroyed.
The loss is at least S150.000 half on
the plant and half on wheat. flour and
other property. In the mill elevator
10000 bushels of wheat were burned,
and in the stone warehouse 25,00C
bushels of wheat and 1000 barrels OF
flour. There was no insurance, save
$50, 900 on the mill building and mach.
inery. The stone warehouse was sup.
posed to be fireproof, but the intense
heat fred the contents. Only part
of the machinery was running at the
time cleaning wheat.
The destruction of this fine milling
plant is q serious loss to Pendleton
and in fact TO the entire state, for
Oregon's flour had gained much noto
rity through the sale in China, Japan
and South America of the products oi
Byers' mills. "Byers' Best" took the
first premium at the Columbian ex.
position in 1893, and had al almost
worldwide reputation.
1t has not yet been determined il
the mills will be rebuilt, but Judging
from Pendleton's past enterprise it is
very likely the plant will be replaced.

PUsHINa ON TO DAWSON.
Albert Davis and Neal Boyer Have Reaeh'
Happy Camp.

L
Happy Camp.
Albert Davis and Neal Boyer, two
energetic young men who left here
last month for Klondike, are pushing
ahead toward the promised land, and
probably ere this have very nearly
reached the land of gold. Mr.. Davis
has written two letters to his mother,
Mrs. G. Davis, one from Dyea dated
August "a, and a second from Happy
Camp, dated Sept. 1.
In the first letter Mr.. Davis says he
and Mr.. Boyer reached Dyea safely,
and proceeded at once on their journey
across the pass. The first day they
moved their outfit six miles, and after
that made from one and one-half to TWO
miles day. They were relying solely
upon their own resources, and we're
taking their entire outfit along with
them as far as they could each day.
Mr.. Davis states that he did not find
the pass az difficult as he expected, and
had no doubt but he would reach Klon-
dixie before severe weather set in.
In the letter from Happy camp he
says: 1--WE are over the hardest part
of the journey. Happy camp is about
three miles beyond the summit and
five miles from Lake Linneman. II
will take us two days to reach the lake.
We have joined two young men from
Seattle, and we four will 60 down the
river together. We expect to reach
Dawson City in % days from here il
we have good luck. There is no tim.
ber on the trail for several miles down
the mountain on the west side to this
place, hence we have not been able to
cook anything after we left Sheep
camp until we reached here"
Mr.. Davis reports having encoun.
tered some hardships on the route, but
was able to travel from one to six miles
a day all the way from Skaguay to
Happy camp, and anticipates little diff.
ficulty in getting through the lake and
down the river.

If you don't blow your own horn,
who will. The Dufur Dispatch says: "As
the Dispatch probably has much
larger circulation among the Wasco
county farmers, than any one other
publication in the county, advertisers
should look into this matter in their
own interest. County officials, in fair
ness to farmers, whose presence and
labors make the county what it is,
should think of this, too" Comment
Is unnecessary.
The firm of Pease & Mays is not
only large and liberal sellers but also
extensive importers. AS evidence,
they today received car load, $4,000
pounds, of beans. This shipment in
dicates something of the magnitude OF
the business of The Dalles. Merchants
here find that in order to meet the de-
mands of the trade they must order in
quantities similar to the invoice re-
ceiyed today by Messrs. Pease & Mays.

to be a stubborn fight was inauSurated
by the coal miners in the MGssillon dis
trict last evening. The convention of
independent miners which assembled
here represented 1.S00 men. Resolutions
were adopted refusing to accept the 10

ators and the latter expressed their
determination to stand by the 51-cent
rate. When the committee reported the
convention decided to accept 81 cents or
nothing.

WOOL MANUFACTURES HEARD.

Washington. Jan. s.-The wool manu-

yesterday In the tariff hearings. They
did not ask for free wool, but repre-
sented that the Wilson law had closed
half of their mills and had proved de-
structive to the country's business gen.
orally. They wanted compensatory du-
ties on woolen goods and n more
moderate tariff than the wool growers
had asked. Their chief spokesman was
the secretary of the Wool Manufactur-
ers' association, :. II. y. North. of

BRYAN At A JACKSON BANQUET.
Substance of a Speech He Made for the
Chicago W. s. Bryan League.

Chicago w. $. Bryan League.
Chicago.-In the banquet hall Of the
fremont House the silver branch of the
Democracy held last night its banquet
in celebration Of jackson Day." The
banquet was under the auspices of the
W. ]. Bryan League. and was held one
day in advance of jackson Day" prop
er, as the distinguished guest Of the
league. William ]. Bryan, could not be
present tonight, he having an engage
ment in Omaha. The banquet hall was
tastefully and lavishly decorated with
greens, cut flowers and national colors,
and presented an extremely handsome
appearance. The banquet lasted until
midnight and speeches were then made
by Bryan; Governor Altgeld, ex-Post-
master Ridgely, Of Springfield, Ills, and
j. W. Tomlinson, of Alabama.
In opening his speech Bryan objected
to associating his name with any club
or league for the reason that he did not
want any individuals name put for
ward, because the principle should
stand first. Another reason was that
he did not want to stand before the
country for four years as presidential
candidate. When the time came the
people would nominate a man to rep
resent the principle. He argued to prove
that the Chicago convention was a true
and legal Democratic national conven-
tion-in other words that it was "regu-
lar" and those who refused to be
bound by its conclusions were boilers.
He devoted the latter part of his speech
to declaring that the silver question
was not settled; that the fight was still
on hand, and urged that organization
should go right on SO as to be ready for
1900.
Governor Altgeld declared that the
three Democratic conventions preced-
ing that of 1896 had been dominated
largely by corporation interests. and
that the nominations had practically
been dictated by the corpora,ions The
convention last year was, he declared,
the first time the people had broken
away from these influences and made
a start for themselves He predicted
a brilliant future for the silver party
and in closing paid an eloquent tribute
