AN EVANGELIST PRINCE.

Second Son of Sweden's King Gives
Up Rank for Love and Religion.
Prince Oscar Bernadotte, the second
son of the king of Sweden and Norway,
who, resigned his place in, the line of
succession to the throne in order to
marry Miss Munck, is conducting re-
vival meetings in his fathers domains.
He sings Gospel hymns and his wife
accompanies him on the organ or piano.
In the rural districts of Norway and
Sweden the pair have succeeded in
arousing much religious fervor. The
house of Bernadotte, being of an an
tiquity which dates from the time the
kings grandfather, once private OF
marines, sold out his master Napoleon
to secure himself on the throne of ths
house of Vassa in the beginning of the
century, could not, of course, let thu
prince marry simple gentlewomaI
and still retain his right to the roya
succession. The Bernadottes have bee,
in good society for so little while tha
they cannot afford to be like those te
the manor born. So they cut off Primes
Oscar, and he and his wife are doing
good work as evangelists. Prince Os-
car, besides being good singer, is an
exhorter of moving force, and always
stirs up his, audience to religions en-
thusiasm

Wise Country Folk Are Much Inter
estcd in Him.
In the edge of Wise county, Va, not
far from Pound Gap, lives one of the
most scholarly men in the south. He is
a hermit, living in mountain cabin
with no companion save his dogs. says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Forty years ago Henry Lewis was .
leading society man of Baltimore, but
the girl whom he loved proved false
He ied to the old world, hoping tc
drown his love amid the gay scenes OF
Paris, London and Rome. Later he
went to Egypt, passed through Asii
and returned to America the day after
Fort Sumter was fred upon.
He joined the confederate army ant
served with distinction to the close o1
the war. After the war Lewis bought
his mountain cabin and has been liv'
ing the life of recluse ever since. He
has fine library, of which he makes
good use.
Once a month he goes to. the neigh
boring village and lays in his supplies
He is a fine linguist and is well versec
in geology, mineralogy, ornithology
but never talks upon these subjects un
less requested to do so by those who
visit him.
Lewis is nearing 70 and is growing
feebler every day and it can't be long
before he passes away. 1t is the opinion
of the country folk that Lewis is only
an assumed name and that on his death
bed he will reveal his identity.

STOLE LIKE HOBOS.
Yearly Everything Movable Taken From
the State House.

Yearly Everything Movable Taken From
the state House.
The closing of the special session of
5he legislature witnessed the usual
pilfering of everything movable, and
that by men who are supposed to pro-
tect the property of the state instead
of carrying it off like common thieves.
The Oregonian correspondent writing
from Salem the evening before the
adjournment, says:
There were traces of wreckage in
the house this morning, and three
sets of Hills code were reported to
have disappeared during the night. A
hint to the wise being sufficient, the
hall of representatives looks like a
deserted picnic ground to night. All
afternoon the mem bers put in spa. e
moments packing the property that
had been placed at their disposal dur
ing tae session. Codes, session laws
and reports disappeared from the
desks, stationary became scarce in
the hall. and tobacco-chewing states
men had to hunt for cuspidores or let
the carpet catch it. One dignfied leg
islatur procured large bottle. and
vent about emptying the contents of
the desk inkstands in his vicinity into
it. Then he collected number of
inkstands and quietly packed them
away in the caverDouS depths of his
waste basket. Another took his neigh
bOr's waste basket and packed several
cuspidOres in that and his own. nine it
Is said, and got away with the whole
Many of the codes were stored with
the secretary cf state. So general has
been the theft of portable state prop
erty by representatives and employees
that it will inconvenieL ce the trans
action of business.

4 special meeting of the city cour
Gil was held last night which wa
attended by Councilmen Kuck, Clougl
Cunning, Stephens, Keller, Barnel

On convening the council, Mayo
Nolan stated the object of the specia
meeting was to consider an ordinance
| authorizing the mayor and recorder tt
make a contract with The Dalles Eie'
Uric Light, Telephone and Power Con
pany for lighting the streets of th'

The ordinance was approved by the
council, and ON being put on its final
passage was adopted by vote of fiI e
TO two.
1t being reported to the council that
travel was difficult during the nie ht
time along streets that were obstructed
by buildings under course of construc-
tion, the marshal was ordered to re-
quire owners of new buildings to put
up lights in front Of such buildings
during the night.
a resolution was passed reducing the

ney A. A. Jayne, has concluded TO To-
cate at the prosperous town of Dufur.
r J. German, who was one of the
senate clerks on the printing COM
mittee, returned last night from
Salem.
Misses Minnie Bartell, Rachel Nor
gan and Katie Seargent returned last
evening from attending the exposition
at Portland.
Al Dufur came up last night from
Portland, and left today for the town
of Dufur to look after his farming in
terests at that place.
The thugs and sure thing men who
are here trying to fleece the people
had about as we'll move on. There
actions will be closely watched, and if
tney undertake to work any of their
"green" games they will be promptly
locked up.
The attendance at the opening day
OF the fair was fairly good, large
cumber of people from the country
being present and the town people
who could getaway from Their bust
ness went out to the grounds during
the afternoon races.
Hon. W. P. Ready was in the city
last evening. Mr.. Ready recently
bought an interest in the McAilister
mine in Crook county, and is sending
out au assay officer to the mine and
contemplates putting up a mill on the
mine 10 short time.
George Stevens, of Lower Cascades,
recently returned from Dawson City.
and brought with him one of these big
dogs used in Alaska for pulling freight.
The dog does not seem to be we'll
pleased with this climate. but Mr..
Stevens is glad to get back to civili-
cation.
The many friends of Hansen Mccoy,
who has been very i'll at Dufur for
some time past, will be pleased to
learn that he is improving and that he
is in fair way to recover. Mr..
Mccoy is an aged gentleman and it
has been hard struggle for him to
combat with the diseases that have
seized upon him.
The city is full to overAowing with
thugs and hard cases, but Marshal
Lauer is exercising a judicious care
over them. and it is hardly possible
for them to do any fragrant deprada-
tions without his putting a stop to
their Gay" acts. The Dalles has a
very efficient officer in Mr.. Lauer, and
the residents may feel secure so long
as he is in Gff1ce.
Another accident haa occurred ON the
Columbia that may result in the D. P.
& A. N. Co, heing deprived of the use
of the Sarah Dixon. Near Kalama the
Thompson ran into the Sha.
fer cutting the latter nearly in two
rendering the latter boat useless, and
in consequence the Sarah Dixon may
be pulled off to run between Portland
and Astoria to take the place of the
Shafer. We trust, however, that
ar other boat besides the Dixon may
be- substituted for the Shafer.

Why negotiate and discuss with them?
Why did Mr.. Mckinley leave anything

to do with it? What necessity was
there for Peace Commission? Why
were not the terms laid down peremp-

practical Use of water.

In certain portions of the west,
where water is used for purposes
of irrigation, experiments have been
tried in first utilizing the water for
power. Suitable pumps carry it
to high reservoirs, where it is
used to generate electricity. Itacquires
an enormous power by its weight and
is in no wise injured for irrigating pur-
poses. An ordinary spring constantly
drawn from furnishes very valuable
power in this way. and after the water
has done its work either in the electric
al plant or in the turning of wheels, it
goes on its way to refresh vegetation
and make the ground productive. In
this way it performs more than adouble
Office without detriment to itself or its
original mission.-N. 7. Ledger.

It's Good sugar,

Through the kindness of August
Buc hler this Office has been supplied
with samples of the first sugar man a.
factured at the La Grande factory,
sent him by his nephew, John An
thony. The sugar is an Oregon pro-
duct, made from beets raised In Grande
Ronde valley. and possesses that de-
gree of sweetness that would even
make sour disposition amiable. In
appearance it is equal to the sugar
made anywhere; is nicely grained, has
a good, clear white color, and certainly
possesses all the qualities to make it a
first class commercial article. After
this, il you would be truly patriotic,
demand that your grocer give you the
La Grande sugar.
