Democrats to Keep Open House
In New York.
EATADLEs AND OR|NNBLEs FREE
BRYAN WILL BE GIVEN JOYOUS
WELCOME ON RETURN FROM
EUROPE.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-This town
will be a sight for sure Immediately
after the Bryan week expires. The
Democratic Club keeps open house for
a full week, and liquor of all kinds,
meals. lunches, and entertainments of
all kinds will be free as air. Of course,
nobody will be able to resist such
program as that, for it is a very
long time since mankind has found
itself able to resist a free blowout.
Politicians may talk as they please,
especially if it be accompanied with the
very best of wines, brandies, Whistles,
and the like, and every one of them
will step up to the crib and be fed
to the point of suffocation. The Dem
ocratic Club is planning for position,
and it hopes to reach by means of
showering honors upon the great trav-
eler, who is about to return from
foreign shores, covered with adulation
and praises from people in all lands,
and especially by his own countrymen.
1t certainly is a very interesting poll
teal campaign that sends a candidate
around the globe, and yet keeps him
in touch by the ever ready telegraph
with his home folk, and causes his
lightest word, whether from Egypt,
Japan, England, Sweden. Germany,
France or mid-ocean, to be heard with
the utmost respect, and taken in for
all it's worth by those who propose
to be his followers. And now, the
browning honor is to be a great city
drunk with gladness and also with
the wine that giveth its color to the
cup.

Oa||es People Excited Over Dis
covery Near Nj. Adams.
EXPLAINS HOW MATTHIAS. GOT RICH
SECRET DISCOVERED IN ADAM
DONED HUT FEW DAYS
AGO.

For many wears it has been known
in the vicinity of Mt Adams, near
the headwaters of Lewis river, says
The Dalles Chronicle. Every summer
parties have gone from The Dalles,
spent a week or so at the mines, and
came back. saying they had taken an
outing These trips have dated as far
back as ten or even fifteen years; but
nothing was thought of the matter
until quite recently.
About twenty years ago, Mr.. N. Ma
thias lived in this city, and had his
place of business east of the Umatilla
House. He was well fixed as regards
this worlds goods, and made summer
trips to Mt. Adams, coming back al
ways in renewed health and increased
wealth. Some years ago Mr. Matthias
left The Dalles, having sufficient mon
ey to satisfy him while sojourning on
this mundane sphere, and nothing has
been heard of him since.
Mining Outfit Found.
About two or three weeks ago, some
Indians hunting berries near Mt Adams
found an abandoned cabin, with a full
mining outfit in it. The Indians
brought some papers and letters out,
leaving no doubt that the cabin was
the summer resort of our tailor, N
Matthias, and that this was the place
where he constantly replenished his
boarded gold, and which finally gave
him a competence for life. AS soon
as this was known in the vicinity
of Trout Lake, where there were sew
eral persons camped, the mining fever
spread, and several prospecting parties
were headed in that direction.
Before our informant left, the Chap
man brothers. two young men from
Glenwood, had returned from Mt
Adams. having picked up from the
bed of a dry creek about $500 worth
of nuggets, varying in size from 81 to
SO chunks. They say there is no
water in the creek, and the pieces of
gold can be gOuged out of the crevices
in the rock with an ordinary pocket
knife
