Q CONNECTICUT AND NEVADA.

Republicans Turn Down the Admin
istration and the Gold Standard.
Never before in the history of
republican politics In Connecticut,
has there been so bitter a contest as
that which was waged In the anti
convention stages, between the forces
seeking the nomination for governor,
with Geo. e. Lounsberry on the one
hand, and John Addison Porter,
President McKlnley's secretary. on
the other.
Porter forced the fighting on a plat.
form avowedly constructed as opposed
to the state organization of the
party. The surprise of the day was
the Unexpectedly overwhelming VIC
tory of the Lounsberry forces. Louns-
berry is wealthy shoe manufacturer
Of South Norwalk and brother OF ex
Governor Lounsberry,
The Republicans of Nevada nomi-
mated William Mcmillan for gov
ernor. The platform reiterdtes faitt
in tue great Republican principles OF
bimetallism, protection and recipro
city, and declares that, as the republic
can party is pledged to bimetallism
the settlement CT the financial ques
tion may safely be left to the national
republican party.

To the Reform School

This morning little 10 Reese, aged
eleven years, was committed to the
reform school by Judge Terrell, upon
complaint Of the father, e, M. Reese.
This is one of the boys In Justice
Johnson's court today for stealing
articles from house in Yew Park,
His younger brother, who was impll-
Gated with this boy, was discharged
owing to his extreme youth. The
boy cried pitifully when he was SEN
tenced, and his case should serve as a
good warning to all young boys. The
father Is a hard working mechanic,
and the mother is an inyalid.
This is the outcome of the case Of
the state Of Oregon VS.. Joseph, Ray
mond and Elmer Reese, accused Of
larceny from a dwelling, heard Ia
Justice Johnson's court this morning.
Justice Johnson dismissed the case
against the two older children, Ray.
mond and Elmer, In the one instance

In the other In consideration OF the

of Joseph under ad yisement pending

Along The River.

The steamer Gipsy, was stranded in
Simon g bar 10 miles down the river,
last night and did not reach Salem
until $3.50 this morning. She left as
soon as unloaded at the dock and took
large consignment Of wheat from
the Ellison BARTLETT wharf north of
town.
The steamer Pomona brought up
thirty bales of hops last night, from
yards down the river, This is the first
shipment Of hops this season. The
boat left this morning with l50 pas
sengers for Portland and way landings.
The Water Company's dredge is
twenty five miles down the river at
the Santiam bar. 1t is now en-
counterlng the worst part OF the river.

Hops.

Interest In the hop crop increases
and Salem is fairly aliYe with buyers.
sellers and brokers. Ten and one.
half cents was freely offered Thursday.
A prominent dealer says he should not
be surprised to see a strictly choice
hop bring very good figure, and he
advises holding such and selling all
short Of the best on the first market.
The New York crop is not bearing
out first estimates Of yield, and the
damage by the late rain storm was
far greater than at first reported. A
great deal OF stock Is being handled
on margins by brokers who are not
buyers, properly speaking. There is
no doubt but that very choice hops
fof The foreign market will go higher.
Several hundred hop pickers are pass
ing through the city daily. Many Of
them are going to the fruit orchards
and dryers and finding further
employment, but on the whole they
are not making as much on their
seasons work as usual, owing TO the
short crop and exceedingly large
number of pickers. One family Of
six came down from near Mill City,
and after the WORK was over and all
expenses paid they had nothing left.

A Wonderful Pump.

Ur. Swank Of Aumsville was In town
today to inspect large new model
Of a wonderful telescope cylinder
pump that he, with Emory s. Barzee
OF Mimic, is having patended. Mr..
Barzee first saw this pump In a Wis
ion one rainy winter night about four
O'Clock and upon describing 1t to Mr..
Swank, who Is capitalist, they de-
clded together to procure patent.
Tests made showed 1t to have wonder
full projecting force. With one hand
Mr.. Swank threw water across the
street against a house with a very
imperfect model. The pump now
being made at e. M. Klghtlinger's 3
machine shop In this city will have a
force OF about ten horse power and
great results are expected. Mr..
Swank is having larger model made
at Portland shop. He has three
styles of this new pump under con-
struction and proposes to get patents
both in our country and in Europe,
