FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY,
Now in Session in The DalIes-About
Forty Delegates Present.

Last evening about thirty ladies ar
rived in the city on the Sarah Dixon
to attend the meeting of the
Columbia river branch of the Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society, which is in
session in the Methodist church. Others
arrived on this mornings train, and
many more ere expected tonight.
AS the boat reached the dock about
6 80, the delegates were conducted to
the church at once, and at 80 the first
session was held, opening with prayer
service, followed by reception in charge
of the secretary of the Columbia river
conference, Mrs. Burrill. In her GUS
tomary happy and appropriate manner,
Mrs. Smith French welcomed the visitors
in behalf of the auxiliary branch of this
city; while Rev. Wood gave no less
hearty welcome in behalf of the church,
which considers this work one of the
most potent influences for good within
its jurisdiction. The response was made
by Mrs. Wilmot Whitfield, who thanked
them for the kindly greeting given saying
that she felt it was extended, not be-
cause of any merit which the delegates
possessed, but on account OF the grand
work in which they are engaged. She
closed with the hope that ere long every
church would haYe in connection with it
a woman's foreign missionary society.
At $50 this morning a devotional
meeting was held and special prayer was
offered for the president, Mrs. Cranston,
" hn G q ahconf in To- L
was then taken up and reports of com
mittees read.

greeting was read from Mrs. Cranston
and the secretary's report given in, an
hour was devoted to memorial service for
departed members and missionaries,
among the latter being Lima Schenck,

Simmons, Japan MARY Hastings, Mexico.

| E. j. Glisan has been in our city for
j the past week in the interest of the
| Second Annual Stockmen's Fair, which
will be held in Antelope on the 18th,
14th and 10Th of this month. The peo-
| pie of that section are very enthusiastic,
and the fair is sure to be success. Mr..
Glisan has the consent of some of the
talent of our city to be present and take
part in the programs, among them
Messrs. N. J. Sinnott and F. w. Wilson.
He is also anxious that Messrs. Hang
shire and Clark give their famous Irish
and Dutch turns.
Doug Langille was in town for
several days, unable to return to Cloud
Cap Inn on account of the deep snow
that fell there on the night of September
29th and at intervals since. The storm
on the mountains, he says, was the
worst he ever saw. Two feet of snow
fell and the strong wind drifted it in
places nine feet deep. The roads were
impassable and Doug was detained from

places, and Mrs. Langille was enabled
to communicate with Doug. She had
the assistance of Elmer McCray.-Hood
River Glacier.
In the words of the Mountaineer of
few years since, ''Now Is the winter of
our discomfort" At least the mornings
are cold enough for winter, but who
could be discontented with such lovely
days as we are now having. This morn
ing was the coldest of the season, the
thermometer standing at thirty-one de-
grees, but as soon as Old Sol made his
appearance we had summer again. This
is an exceptional year as regards the
cold weather, the like not being known
30 early in the season for about twenty
five years. Last year at this time it was
twenty degrees warmer. However,
boys, don't get your skates out yet, fans
will yet be needed before win Ter is here.
A commendable move has been made
on the part of the citizens OF The Dalles,
which goes to prove that the backs,
who formerly made their home in our
city, have crawled away. By volun-
tary subscription it has been arranged
to give Kickitat farmers who bring
grain to our city free ferriage across the
Columbia and return, from now until
Decem ber 7th. The only condition ex-
acted whereby advantage may be taken
of this offer is that two-horse teams are
required to haul not less than a ton
while four-horse teams must carry a ton
and half. This minimum is designated
that none may take undue advantage of
this generous offer. No doubt our neigh
bors over the way will appreciate the
inducement held out and improve the
opportunity offered.

BLOODY MURDER,NEAR MINCO
Committed by Otto Eekert, Said to be
Half Demeuted

Minco, l. T., March 15.-(Special)-
A horrible murder was committed about
two miles east of here on the ranch Of
J. E.Rights, early yesterday morning by
a half-demented German by the name of
Otto Eckert. The subject of Otto's ven
geance was boy IS or IS years old, who,
it seems, was working for him, Otto be-
ing a renter on the ranch. After the muir
der Otto came to town and told the fol-
lowing story: THE boy" he said, asked
him for money, which he did not have,
so he said. and this so enraged the youth
that he drew a razor and made several
slashes at Otto. He says he overpowered
the boy and took the razor from him and
cut his throat" This is the story he told
when he came TO town. Mr.. England and
several other citizens hurried out to the
ranch and to their horror and surprise
they found the young man in the dugout
with his throat cut from ear to ear. They
also found that Otto had not only in his
insane frenzy kelled the boy but he had
killed his dog by cutting its throat and
had also killed a favorite horse by knock
ing her in the head with an ak. The citi-
zens are holding him until the proper
authorities arrive.

MRS. THURSTON'S DEATH
Probably fastened by the Scenes of
suffering She Witnessed.

Havana, March ia correspondent at
Sagua La Grande telegraphs that Mrs.
Thurston died at noon yesterday Of heart
disease, believed to be hereditary. Mrs.
Thurston had been much affected at the
scenes of suffering she witnessed at
Matanzas and especially in the case of the
skeleton like children.
Mrs Thurston, conscious that her end
was near, said: Il am not sorry to go to
rest, but l am grieved that my own chill
dren will be motherless."
Mrs. Thurston had worn a small Ameri-
can flag next to her heart ever since the
trip was commenced and when she died
the flag was clasped to her breast.
She was noted for her great humanity
and at Matanzas saw q gaunt mother
sadly embracing her dying child. The
feelings of Mrs. Thurston were much ex-
cited by this sad scene and probably this

Continuing, the dispatch says: 1.-THE
Vatican has specially exerted influences

of the pontiff are accepted, he will pro-
