PICKING UP MANY BODIES.
One Hundred and Fifty-Three FOuRd
As Result of One Days Work
at Heppner, Oregon.

Heppner. Ore, June 19.-The num-
Der of dead recovered from the flood
ruins totalled 1853 bodies. Fifteen
bodies were found Thursday in drifts
along Willow creek. Although the
missing list is reduced by the discov-
cries made it is likely that the miss
ing and unknown list will be further
augmented by transient strangers,
whose baggage was found to-day.
The number of missing remains in the
neighborhood of fifty to sixty.
A list of valises and trunks recov-
cred Thursday establishes the fact
that from fifteen to twenty transient
strangers went down in the flood. The
number of dead and missing will
probably reach 225. Thirty pieces of
baggage searched for Identification OF
the owners has led to the discovery
of several persons either alive or dead.
In one trunk was found an envelope
addressed to Stella B. Howard, Chair
ton, Ia. In the families of Nose and
Ed Ashbaugh and Pearl Jones, all re-
lated, II members were killed or
drowned, and four children in one
family are missing. One trunk re-
covered bears the name Harry W

HARGIS RETURNS TO JACKSON.
Judge of BreatIiitt County Leaves
Orders to Give Prisoners What
They Want at His Expense.

Lexington. Ky, June 22.-Curtis
lett and Thomas White, of jackson,
Ky, spent a quiet Sunday in Jail here.
They were not accessible to visitors,
and the usual religious services were
dispensed with on account OF the
crowds of curious people who would
have taken advantage of the services
to gain admission. The two men were
allowed a pint of whisky, and had
their meals sent from a restaurant,
with a parting admonition from Judge
Hargis to the %jailer to allow Jett and
White to have anything they desire
and the expense charged to him.
Judge James Hargis returned to Jack
son. He did not see the prisoners be-
fore leaving, but left a message re-
questing them to be courteous to the
Jail officials and visitors, and express
ing his regret at their conduct Satur-
day when they used abusive language
to those who saw them.

n Light Sentence.

Maysville, KY, June 19.-The trial
Of the three negroes for murderously
assaulting the Farrow family con-
tinued Thursday with the troops hold
ing the large crowd at bay. Sanders,
one of the negros, took the stand in

in a buggy. En- route to the Farrow
farm Morris was picked up at a ceme-
terry, where he was in waiting. When
they reached the Farrow home, he
(Sanders) held the horse While Mann
and Morris entered the house. He
heard the noise and then the Shoot
ing, after which all returned to Mays
vile in the rig. After this confession

TWO DIscoNsoLATE LOVERS.
They Bought Poison and Went To.
gether to Die Because Another
Girl Had interviewed.

Scranton. Pa. June ga pair OF
young lovers. Ernest Schmic and Miss
Jennie Brennan. both of Greenwood,
were the participants in a double
tragedy. Sunday evening, which has
resulted in the formers death. and
which will probably also prove fatal
in the Ease of the girl. The two had
loved each other devotedly for several
months, but another woman from
Schmic's old home interviewed a week
ago and sought to hold him to an all
legged engagement to marry her. This
led the pair to seek relief in death,
and they apparently planned the at-
fair with much d~eliberation. Miss
Brennan purchased a bottle of car
bolic acid Sunday morning, and short
ly afterwards both started out for a
walk. They strayed to a secluded
spot in the midst of II forest and
spent the entire afternoon sitting side
by side on Il rock. They were seen by
several other rambler& in the woods,
and this led to the search by the glrls
cousin, Thomas Cavanaugh and several
of his friends. When the party came
in sight of the place, Miss Brennan
put the bottle of acid to her lips and
drained it. As she did so Schmic
started to run, with several of the
party close on his heels. He drew a
revolver and fired upon them several
times. He then stopped and shot him
self twice. He fell dead. The girl
suffered great agony, and her physi-
clans hold out scant hope for recov,

CHILDREN AT THE SONG FEST.
One of the Most Pleasing Features
OF the National Saengerfcst
at st. Louis.

st. Louis, June 21.-One of the most
pleasing features of the thirty-first
national saengerfest was the work of
the school children at the matinee
concert Friday. A writer in the
Glebe-Democrat thus describes their
singing:
"And now the children began to
sing. First The Heavens Are Telling
(Beethoven), with which they brack-
eted the ~wondrously sweet lullaby OF
Johannes Brahms. Such clarity OF
intonation as the little ones gave the
Beethoven number, such certainty of
attack at first nonplused and then
enthused the members of the Thomas
orshestra-pretty good judges, by the
way-and, when the children hummed
instead of singing the last verse OF
the lullaby there was many a violin
list, many a 'cellist who was not earn
ing his salary in the amazement with
which he watched the little e who,
with ~delicately closed mouths, gave
forth such beauteous music.
with Pinsuti's delicate 'Mignon'
cite and Taubert's dashing 'Postil'
lion it was the same. The effect was
excellent, and if any one should now
raise the academic question: What
has the saengerfest done for music'
the answer would be: 1t has ac'
quainted an audience Of $4,000 people
with the possibilities of children''
singing. The little ones sang unde1
the direction Of Prof. William Il
Pommer."

structors that they will remain idle

fuse to sign the plan or agreement OF
arbitration proposed by the Employ
ers' association.
