Baker City, Ore, Nov. 25.-The dead
body of George Ellis was found in his
tunnel in his mining claim near here. Last
summer he shot at man driving a fruit
wagon and was afterward tried for insan-
ity by the county court and ordered COM
mtted to the asylum. Before he could be
put aboard the train he made his escape
and could not be found by the sheriff till
discovered dead. 1t is supposed he shot
himself rather than 90 to the asylum.

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report for last week
says: Unsettled weather operated to
curtail retail and jobbing distribution
last week, and imparts a Quieter tone
to several lines indirectly associated
herewith Stock speculation, too has
been less rampant, and last weeks rec
ord Of bank clearings has therefore
not been eQualled. There is, however,
little or no apparent loss of basic
strength and, indeed, the general level
of staple prices has been slightly ad-
vanced. This latter movement is most
notable in the iron and steel trades,
in raw cotton and to a lesser dvgree in
the cereals and some hog products.
In marine shipping circles distinct
improvement is reported since the first
week of November, while the volume of
business in pig iron is still large, it
does not apparently come up to that of
last week or the week previous. No
disappointment is, however, felt at this,
more particularly as quotations have
again been marked up. Reports of pre-
paratiOn to resume come from many
plants for some time idle, and sample
instance is the report that every fur
mace in the Chicago field will be at
work next week Reports from Pitts
burg are that the demand for steel bill
lets is still backward, not SO much be-
cause of the price demanded-$19.50 So
but because of it's being fixed by the
pool at that rate. Foundry pig is, how
ever, active and tending higher. What
the market for cruder fol ms lacks is
made up by the immense demand for
finished products, which is reported in
excess of all records for this period.
Plates are active, as are structural ma
| terial, wire, oars and in fact all classes
OF finished material, not excepting
rails, which are reported being freely
taken by western railroads at the much
abused $26 basis. Other metals. nota-
bly, copper, are strong. Tin is again
tending upward.
Cash wheat is slightly higher, partly
on the belief that some real damage has
been inflicted in Argentine, but main
| ly because the supply suitable for ex-
port is really limited at the seaboard.
Wheat, including flou" shipments for
the week aggregate 3,S27,296 bushels,
against 4,026020 bushels last week
3,S7S677b ushels in the corresponding
week of so: 5,S24,766 bushels in
1898; 5,465,153 bushels in 1897 and g.
1885 in 1896.
From July l, to date this season,
wheat exports are 75,301, 1897 bushels,
against S5.46S,542 bushels last season
and 89,1240S3 bushels in 1898-99
Business failures in the United
States for the week number 215,

Buchanan's election by an over
whelming majority was hailed as the
death blow of abolition-and SO it
might have been had he been wise
enough to heed the signs of the times,
curbed the slave power and provided
for the gradual emancipation of the
slaves. McKinley's election is in like
manner hailed as the downfall of pop
ulism, but the unblushing champion
ship of every looting scheme OF the
graSping trusts, and the rotten mil.
lionaire subsidy-hunters indicates that
Mckinley will prove nc wiser than
Buchanan.

The Stockton News thinks the re-
publican legislature is going to be one
sided enough to try to punish all To-
calities that voted anti-republican.
Here is what it says of the establish
ment of State Normal school on the
site of the old Fit. Hays military
reservation:
''HayS City will ask an appropria-
tion from the state for State Normal
school to be located there. 1t is not
likely that such a bill can be worked
through the legislature this winter, as
Ellis county made the terrible mis-
take of sending fusion representa-
tive to the legislature. Ellis county
will have to be represented by differ
ent men before Hays City can get a
normal school,"

was very enjoyable to those who had
tickets to the White House, where
the governors were received by the
president and some addresses delivered,
or to the hall of the house of represen-
tatives, where a joint session of cong
reSS was held and historical addresses
delivered by Senators Hoar, Daniel
and McComaS, and representatives
Richardson, of Tenn, and Payne, of
New York, or to the big evening
reception in the Corcoran Gallery of
Art; but for the ticketlesS individual
there was only the military parade,
under General Miles, which might
have been considered a big thing for
some places, but was quite ordinary
for Washington.

atorS. The senators, probably because
of their shame and disgust, would not
at first tell what his object was, but
it soon leaked out that he was the per-
sonal representative of Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt, vice president to be, prob
ably the first ambassador ever sent to
the senate under the same circumstan-
ces, and that in the name of Teddy he
was asking senators to defeat the rat
ification of the amended Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty. The visit of Mr.. Hollis
probably changed no votes, but it az
forded much amusement, especially to
the democrats.
The administration lost interest
in the Hay-Pauncefote treaty from

Popu1ism dead? Say brother, do you
know why populism was organized?
Do you know that the same causes
exist today in tenfold more alarming
degree? If not look at the Hay-Paunce-
tote treaty, and the Alaskan Boundary
treaty surrendering our American
rights and territory to the money power
Of the world. Look at the ship sub
sidy bill and other scandalous extrava-
ganceS with the peoples money. OBJ
serve the complete control of prices
of all commodities by the rapacious
trusts. Note the bOaSted power of
Wall Street to create panic in case
Bryan was elected. Count the costly
strikes in the last few months. No
populism is not dead and will not die
SO long as the evils of the gold standard
are upon us and prosperity is based up
on confidence" and enjoyed by the
people only by sufferance of the pow
erful money lords.

The full meaning of the duplicity of
that plank in the republican platform
declaring for an ''isthmian'' canal in
stead of a specific declaration in favor
of the Nicaragua canal is now begin
ming to appear. The republican party
does not intend that the canal shall
be built at all, and is playing off one
route against the other in order to
prevent the building of either. The
influence OF the great trans-continent-
al railroads is at the bottom of the OPP
position. OF course the great steam
ship lines have to be placated if the
canal is not built, so the ship subsidy
bill is to be the price of their acquies-
cence for thirty years. If the repub-
lican managers have their way the
canal will not be built for another
generation, and meanwhile the rail-
roads will continue to charge their
own prices for hauling freight and
passengers from ocean to ocean.

Here is a singular thing about the
recent election in Nebraska. There
were $4,000 more votes cast in 1900 than
in 1896. The vote increased $4,000 in
four years, while the population of the
state increased only 10000 in ten years
and the increased vote all went to Nc
Kinley. OF course it was an honest
election, but it was a very singular
circumstance just the Same.-Noncon-

..The Little Bow Blue.

The little toy dog is covered with dust.
Yet sturdy and atsunch he stands;
The little toy soldier is red witk rust;
And his musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new.
And the soldier waa passing fair;
That Was the time when little boy blue
Kissed them, and put them there.
''Now you don't go till come he said,
sand don't you make any noIse;"
So he toddled Of to his trundle-bed,
And dreamed OF his pretty toys.
AID az he was dreaming angels song
Awoke our Little Boy Blue,
oh. the years are many aud the years are long;
But his little toy friends are true.
Aye faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand,
Each in the same old place;
Awaiting the touch Of little hand,
The emile of q little face.
And they wonder while waiting the long years
through,
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our little boy blue
Since he kissed them and put them there.
